The history of mankind?
They say that history is the teacher of life and that whoever does not learn from his history is doomed to repeat it forever.
Giza Pyramids
The pyramids are set almost perfectly in relation to the North Pole, which tells us that they obviously knew about the North Pole, at least in a theoretical or mystical sense. The base of the Cheops pyramid forms an almost perfect square that was constructed so precisely that it is difficult to reproduce even with today’s technology. Perhaps the greatest mystery is that the pyramids are standing even today. They weigh thousands of tonnes and still did not fall through the sand to this day.
Stonehenge
The society that built it must have been, without a doubt, quite developed to be able to engage the work force on such a demanding project. When modern scientists tried to make a reconstruction of the building of Stonehenge using ancient construction means, the stones that weighed several tonnes simply fell through into the soft soil. And after somehow constructing it, the mysterious builders also managed to build it so that it could be used to follow events in the sky. This proves that they also had great knowledge in astronomy.
Moai
The mysterious statues from Rapa Nui (Easter Island), are believed to depict the predecessors of the island’s inhabitants. A society that was capable of creating such big statues should have numbered several thousands of citizens to be able to keep an army of workers. The population of Rapa Nui was never more than several thousand people, which is simply too little for such an endeavour.
The myth about dragons
The Westerners mostly see them as evil beings that like to steal sheep, incinerate crops and amass gold. The Easterners saw them as wise creatures crucial for the functioning of the world. How could people thousands of kilometres apart who did not communicate before the Middle Ages share the same myth?

Age of man
Science claims that the first real people originated some 200,000 years ago and the first script some 6,000 years ago. From that moment, simply put, the beginning of human civilisation began. Ancient people arrive at the history scene with great and never explained knowledge of archaeology and astronomy whose origins were never established. What was never explained is the great time difference from when man originated to his technological development. If man managed to conquer the Moon in less than 10,000 years since the beginning of written history, the logical question to ask oneself is: what were we doing the remaining 190,000 years?
