This stuff really fascinates me. Like you say, anomalous archaeological finds pop up all around the world, and most are relegated to the fringes of science, rather than receive the sort of serious study they merit.
Anything dug up that doesn’t fit the pre-ordained and agreed-upon story of human habitation and civilization is automatically ruled “impossible” by the so-called experts.
Ever hear of Michael Cremo? He wrote a book called “Forbidden Archaeology” about a decade back, which is all about these incredible finds.
For many, there is little so terrifying as the thought that this might not be the first time humanity has risen technologically, only to fall from that great height to knapping flint and hunting with sharpened sticks.
The more complex a technology, the more fragile it is, the more difficult to maintain.
We are almost there, to the point where the skills which developed the last 50 years of advances are beyond the person working in their garage workshop, and those who could build even a basic radio from scratch are very few and far between...
My favorites were the hollow spheres formed from connecting two hemispheres along a shaped seam, found in coal vanes which estimated the spheres to have been more than a million years old.
Cool little spheres.
Maybe they were mini Death Star models for the tourists.
Anyone with the means to grasp or reject the narratives of that book would find it worth reading at least once. Many, but not all the objects presented are subject to manipulation.
The Cone of Silence?

“We are almost there, to the point where the skills which developed the last 50 years of advances are beyond the person working in their garage workshop, and those who could build even a basic radio from scratch are very few and far between... “
And those that own said technology aren’t smart enough to keep it from flashing 12:00. What puts the lie to ancient technology, is that there is no junk lying around from previous “advanced” technology civilizations. Not even a landfill with old refrigerators or junked interdimensional tranfer booths. Not one electric toothbrush.
Nah, without old junk to prove that it’s been done already, we’re quite surely the first folks to make it to this technological level. The way things are going, with the middle eastern crowd close to acquiring nukes, we may be the last.
Just a guess as to how something like that could occur—if indeed these were extracted from coal deep underground—would be the spheres were dropped/sunk in a perhaps shallow lake, into a mud layer, the lake eventually became a bog which became the basis for a coal deposit after the region became buckled under ground from quakes or land mass upheaval. But Occam must have lived back then, don’t ya think?
All the coastal areas were out on the Continental shelf.
Few haul their junk uphill to dispose of it, and a really advanced civilisation would have mined their landfills for raw materials, much as we will someday. What scattered bits may be elsewhere were degraded by weathering and oxidation, or destroyed, or scrounged for raw materials by the more primitive technologies to follow.
Seems likely to me, and while people will seldom get everything, the elements will get most of the rest.
The few remnants which survive are likely attributed to other sources or simply not recognized as technologically produced material.
It is quite disappointing not to to be able to view photographs of whatever they found.

Thanks uglybiker. I'm not buyin' it, but it's probably good for the comments sure to surface here on FR. :') And 300K years ago qualifies as ancient, so......there may have been a culture capable of developing nanotechnology 300,000 years ago... These pieces include coils, spirals, shafts, and other unidentified components. According to an analysis from the Russian Academy of Sciences in Syktyvkar, the largest pieces found are mostly copper, while the smallest are made of tungsten and molybdenum. While the largest of these objects measure 1.18 inches, the smallest are only 1/10,000th of an inch, and many exhibit Golden Mean proportions.To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

Agreed on the shoreline aspects of your post. In fact, research along the Pacific NW coast for old (5,000 years +) villages was moved offshore and several prospects have been found.
However:
“...and a really advanced civilisation would have mined their landfills for raw materials, much as we will someday.”
We will only start mining our landfills when the more productive natural sources of copper, gold, silver, etc. run out. Why would our natural resources still be around if a previous civilization(s) had to resort to mining their landfills?
I find stuff like this very interesting, but sometimes it doesn’t sit quite right. A more plausable (!!!!?????) explanation would be it was a small civilization that was only advanced because of ET help. It would then not have to have followed “our” model of civilization of increasing in knowledge AND population - but just grow in knowledge. Another theory might be that this junk IS from rockets or some such - but ET rockets. Repair Station Earth, back when the Intergalactic Route 66 was the main route through here 10,000 years ago.
Of course that would require there to be ET’s. Not sure on that one either! But interesting stuff all the same!
If what the Bible says is true, that people lived quite a long time before the flood, and it is silent on how many other people there were in the world besides Adam and Eve, I often wonder what was the technological level of the worlds civilizations pre-flood. Everybody assumes the typical low technology of the post flood period, but I wonder...
I once read that one guy has a theory that life on earth has advanced even more than we have more than once but was almost completely destroyed and started over. There is the tale that some miners digging in a mountain came upon a modern skeleton. The mountain has been estimated to go back 150 million years. This was in the 1800’s and the skeleton is at some university in California.
Thank you for posting the video link. Really interesting.
You’re welcome.
