The most ancient building on earth. Excursions

Ancient buildings are not in vain called portraits of civilizations that they built them. Moreover, these portraits make up the riddles of entire cultures. After all, these structures stood over thousands of years after their builders disappeared from the face of the earth. It is strange burials to unknown to recently time cities - all these architectural artifacts sometimes open ancient secrets, and sometimes even more confused by scientists.

1. Tunnels Teotihuakana

Mexico
In 2017, a restoration project was started to repair one of the most famous seats Mexico - the Doatztec city of Teotihuacan. During work on the central square, archaeologists used non-invasive techniques for viewing underground emptiness. Scanning with the help of electrocultantandan tomography showed unexpected - under the area there was a tunnel leading to the adjacent pyramid. Scientists are still wondering why the pyramid of the Moon, which is a colossal feat ancient architecturecould be related to something else underground tunnel.

While it is impossible to explore it, and one of the reasons is the depth on which the tunnel passes - 10 meters. What is curious, this tunnel is very similar to another, previously discovered in one of the temples of Teotihuacan. Considering that they were built by people who lived 2000 years ago, it's hard to say today if a practical or mystical goal tunnel served.

2. Tungund Kurgans

Australia
For more than 60 kilometers along the West Cape York, the coastal zone of Australia, you can see a number of large mounds. Researchers discussed the specifics of this phenomenon for many years. Apparently, they did not perceive the local Aboriginal community seriously (people of Tongundy argued that their ancestors were buried in the mounds). It is not surprising that a number of strange theories appeared. For example, some suggested that these 250 Kurgans created ... birds.

In 2018, when Kurgan enlightened the radar, it turned out that local residents And the archaeologists, who considered mounds artificial, were right. Eleven sand facilities were scanned, and in many of them still kept human remains. Comparison of the interior also showed how the funeral procedures changed over time. But even B. different time In all tombs put various things, such as flowers, spears and corals. The age of the Kurgan is still unknown, but some may be about 6,000 years, that is, they were created at about the same time when the Egyptians were built pyramids.

3. City complex Tel-Edfu

Egypt
In 2018, during excavations in the Egyptian Tel-Edfu, a two-storey complex of 4000 years, which was one of the earliest among numerous large ruins in the region. Archaeologists have determined rooms that were used for storage for melting copper, for the production of beer and bread. However, the purpose of other premises was not defined. The appearance of the facade of the building was typical for ancient EgyptBut at the same time it was very masterfully built. Another secret is why people abandoned the complex after its construction.

Usually, similar abandoned places disassembled on bricks for other construction projects. The same complex not only retained its walls with a thickness of 1.5 - 2 meters, but also the entrance doors. Given that they were made of extremely rare in Egypt, the doors were to steal a long time ago. This bakery brewery is different from any other, which have been preserved since Ancient kingdom. Scientists believe that ancient city Edfu was an important settlement and was a starting point for expeditions departing to remote places.

4. Villa in Warwick

England
In the English city of Warwick recently decided to move high School. The builders who were digging the pita, discovered a large Roman villa. Its size was 28 meters long and 14.5 meters wide. According to their own words, this villa was "the size of the medieval church." Carved from local sandstone, it was probably part of an extensive estate in the second century of our era.

Villa herself was a very impressive building. In addition, she was the largest structure in the region, it was associated with Roman dear. Finding cameras for drying corn showed that the building is beyond what was someone's home was used in agricultural. One who lived in Villa left her about 200 years later.

5. Stonehenge builders camp

England
Within walking distance of Stonehenge has a military base in Larkhill. During the preparation for new army teachings in 2018, the remains of an ancient fence were discovered. It is believed that in such places an ancient trade and meetings occurred. Nine wooden pillars stood exactly in the same position as dolmen in Stonehenge Stone Ring.

This showed that Larkhill was a kind of design center for the overhaul of the famous Temple, which was also sometimes a modest ring of wooden pillars. The initial version of Stonehenge was erected around 3000 BC, but the archaeologists believe that the fence over six to seven centuries. Probably it was the camp of the builders.

6. Fort Chartnott Pass

England
During the reign of the Roman emperor Adrian (117-138 G. N.E.), part of Britain was part of the Empire. To protect this border, several forts were built. One fortress stands near the Hardnott Pass in Cumbria. Only in 2015, scientists noticed that her gate perfectly coincide with the sun during the solstice. Located in a square building, the gate is addressed to each other with two pairs.

On the longest day of the year (summer solstice), at sunrise, the sun shines in the northeast gate, and when entering the southwestern. In the shortest day (winter solstice) the process is repeated, but on the contrary. Why this particular fort was done exactly that is unknown. It is also not clear why the four Fort towers were built perfectly in accordance with the sides of the world. One plausible idea assumes the connection of the fort with religion (this was the same in several ancient religions).

7. Ritual Hall and Trone Urine

Peru
In 2018, the press appeared the news about the wonderful find, after the Peruvian archaeologists investigated the monument to Uak Lemon de Ukupe. They found two places of mysterious culture. Long before the Incas in Peru flourished the culture of urine. I existed for many centuries to 700 AD. This magnificent culture left behind monuments, gold artifacts and developed agricultural equipment. Any new finds can help explain the mysterious disappearance of this culture or at least give more knowledge about it.

In one room there was a wonderful ritual hall. Unlike geometric and mythical paintings found in other places, the walls of the hall were decorated with realistic marine scenes. One picture was 10 meters the size. On more than 100 tables once stood plates, which hints at large and variety of banquets. Two stepped throne looked at each other. Higher intended for the ruler, and the other was probably designed for the patron saint of the holiday. Next to the door of another room was a podium, it is possible to make ads during meetings.

8. Evidence of the burial of the Stone Age

Sweden
In 2009, a strange grave was found in Sweden, which was even experts. In her huge limestone platform, 11 sides of 12 meters resting 11 skulls without jaws. Moreover, when this burial was created 8,000 years ago, it was at the bottom of the lake. The skeleton of the newborn and bones of animals was also found. Why they were "buried" under water, this is just one of the mysteries of the grave. On seven turtles were found traces from injury blunt items. Men hit from above or in front, and women from behind.

The sacrifice was unlikely. All injuries were clearly treated, and people lived for some time. The bones were also strangely posted. The skulls of people were in the middle, and two of them were penetrated stakes. In the south there were bones of bears. Wild boar, deer and moose "decorated" the south-eastern part. In addition, most of the bones were taken on the right side of the body. In truth, researchers cannot understand the location or meaning of the ritual.

9. Cult objects in the mountains of Eilat

Israel
In 2015, about 100 ritual facilities were found in the Israeli Eilat mountains. In the Negev desert, stone circles and dallow-shaped structures were located in the desert. On the square in 80 hectares, archaeologists counted 44 religious places. Although little is known about what happened in these places, the topics of abundance and death were especially common. About 8,000 years ago, men's characters were created on these objects, such as stone phalluses, pointing to "female" stone circles with a diameter of 1.5-2.5 meters.

As locations, the objects were chosen flat sections with good view At the surroundings. Given the small number of the population and the desert around, a huge number of monuments is a mystery. In addition, such finds continue to do in other places. Only during one study found 349 ritual places outside of Eilat Mountains.

10. Archeology Maya.

Guatemala
During the recent aerial photography of Northern Guatemala, more than 60,000 unknown Mayan archaeological sites were added to the card. Under the thick cover of forests found pyramids, walls, urban fortifications, dams and defensive structures - all this is within 2100 square kilometers. The study revealed completely new places to explore, but also immediately suggested other aspects of civilization.

A huge number of private houses assumed that Maya exceeded the number of those who live in the area today. They avoided cutting and falling out of forests for agriculture, as modern farmers, proving that a large population could flourish without deforestation. One fortress was strong enough to argue that Maya was serious wars. Although most of the new structures are houses, the number of roads is just as amazing.

Tens of thousands of years ago

Ancient civilizations that existed on the land of dozens of millennia ago, have long disappeared. But after them there were numerous facts of stay, which grateful descendants admire today.

Some modern scientists boldly argue that archeology, like science, almost everything is known about the past. And if there remained some riddles on our land, which are not solidified, then this is a matter of time. Although all new finds and discoveries are forced to doubt the veracity of such a bold statement.

Whole cities

There are still buildings, pyramids and even whole cities, about which there is no consensus among scientists. It remains a mystery who built these structures, which building material was used and why were these buildings abandoned?

Numerous scientists are already investigating the most ancient facilities on Earth and are trying to find explanations to the principles of their buildings. In some such structures, the secrets of construction were disclosed, for example, at the Stonehenge Stone Chunk ensemble in the UK.

But the secrets of other buildings remain unknown. As a result, some researchers and experts allow the intervention of extraterrestrial civilizations. Such assumptions can be understood, because some ancient buildings are just gigantic on their scale.

During the construction of ancient structures, stone slabs were used that today to move them will be problematic even using modern techniques. Mathematical and geometric parameters in the construction of monumental structures are very accurate and correct. And taking into account that accurate calculations were used together with multi-plate plates, such construction simply affects modern scientists, researchers and tourists.

Mohenjaro Daro

Here, for example, known to the whole world of facilities, the appearance and functionality of which is still inexplicable.

The city of Mohenjaro-Daro, located in the valley of ind to Pakistan, 2600 years ago BC. Under the suggestions of scientists, it was one of the rich cities of South Asia, the inhabitants left it about 900 years ago for incomprehensible reasons. Mohenjaro-Daro stands out for the ideal street layout and the use of burned brick as the main material for the construction of houses. The whole city is built with the sewage system. In the area there are complex irrigation and religious structures.

The ancient Lebanese city of Baalbek is known with deep antiquity. But there are records about him only since Alexander Macedonian. What nations set up it to those times unknown by modern scientists. But the found temple ensemble proves that some kind of civilization existed on this territory. When building a temple, which surpasses in some parameters of the pyramid of Heops, monolithic plates were used, weighing up to 1000 tons.

The purpose of construction, the number of inhabitants, the present name of the city of Machu Picchu in Peru and why he was abandoned to remain not famous archaeologists today. The ancient buildings of the city are perfectly preserved for research by modern historians and archaeologists. Machu Picchu attracts numerous tourists of the residence of rulers, temples and sanctuations.

Knossos Palace in Crete

The huge Palace of Knossos in Crete is a lot of riddles. There were more than 1,500 rooms on the territory of the palace, located on five levels, but they had a rather confusing location. The palace rooms were decorated with paintings, the composition of the paints was still not found by chemist scientists. And the main mystery of Knossos is a FEST Disk with a-linear letter, which promises a lot of discoveries in the field of archeology.

In the southeastern Turkey there is a mysterious GEBEKLY-TEPE complex. It is the largest and more ancient of all known megalithic structures on Earth. The approximate age of the complex has 12,000 years. During the construction of such a giant construction, slabs weighing up to 50 tons were used, and the nearest quarry is 500 meters away. How the plates were delivered and watered, and why was the complex, then intentionally loosened by the earth?

All these questions still remain without answers. People who lived before us left the historians and archaeologists a lot of mysteries that scientists still have to solve. It is quite possible thanks to this whole layers of epochs will open their secrets.

In the ancient world there were no skyscrapers, but the high structures were. Some of them were built to perpetuate the glory of the ruler, about the appointment of other scientists still argue.

"Puzzled Hill"

Height:up to 9 meters

Rhodes in antiquity was a large and rich city. Therefore, it could afford to live in the literal sense "on a wide leg." A huge statue of Helios, only the thumb could only grab only a few, was built by the ancient Greek architect Hares. The lack of money allocated for the construction forced him to fit into big debts, and, rooted, he committed suicide.

The statue took 500 talents of bronze and 300 talents of iron (more than 20 tons). Colossus stood just 65 years. After the earthquake, the clay statue fell by iron and bronze, the clay statue fell, and in reversible layer lay for about a thousand years, until it was sold to the Arabs.

Today it is a fourfold overgrown hill, a small part of which is recreated in the initial appearance.

Today, people look at the giant skyscrapers and consider their peak of human engineering. At the same time, many do not even know about the technological wonders of the ancient history - buildings and temples, which would seem to be unable to build at that distant time.
In this review, little-known examples of amazing ancient buildings.

1. Pueblo Bonito. United States of America

Located in the north-west of New Mexico, the settlement of Pueblo Bonito is the largest and most famous example of the "Palace Palace", built by the culture of Anasazi. The settlement began to build in the first half of the X century AD, and ended only in 180 years. At the peak of development in Pueblo Bonito, there were about 800 separate buildings, some of which had as many as five floors. For the first time the ancient settlement was found in 1849 by the lieutenant of the US Army James H. Simpson. Since then, Pueblo Bonito has become one of the most excavated and explored archaeological places in the south-west of the United States. Unfortunately, a number of buildings were damaged when part of the cliff behind the settlement collapsed. What is particularly interesting, in Pueblo Bonito, there were many mysterious petroglyphs, made somewhere at the end of the X - early XI century.

2. CALAL. Turkey

The ancient settlement found in the south of Turkey, according to the estimates of modern scientists, existed from 7500 BC. Approximately 5700 BC. It was built by an unknown neolithic culture, which, as scientists believed, was highly developed at that time. Excavations continue from the moment of dischanging Chatal in the late 1950s by the British archaeologist James Mellart. A number of interesting items were discovered, including (presumably) the earliest known map and some of the highest quality daggers of that period. At home in Chatal have one intriguing feature: they have no doors, and they needed to go to the house through the roof, climbing her on the stairs. In addition, the dead in this ancient settlement were buried under the floors of houses, in particular under the foci.

3. Lockmark. France

Brittany French Region is famous for its group of the largest prehistoric European megaliths. The size of the largest megalith, created about 4500 BC, almost 21 meters long, and the weight is from 200 to 280 tons. Today, no one knows why this megalith, known as "Fay's stone," was broken millennium backwards. Perhaps this happened as a result of the earthquake, but most likely they made people. What is very striking, "stone fairies" delivered a single whole piece of a quarry, which is more than 10 kilometers. As it was done - unknown.

4. Colosses of Memnon. Egypt

Pharaoh Amenhotep III, built as a monument and placed near his destroyed temple, the colossos of Memnon are a couple of statues of 23 meters high. Also on these statues (to be more accurate, on the foot of the trones of the statues) you can find the reliefs of the wife, daughter and mother amenhotel. Statues were named after Memnon, the hero of the Trojan War. There were legends that before the statues were damaged as a result of the earthquake, the northern statue in the morning published a sound resembling bell ringing (possibly due to temperature increase). The Egyptians believed that this sound expresses the approval of the gods.

5. Pompey pillar. Egypt

Pompey's pillar was erected as a monument to the Roman emperor Diocletian after he suppressed an uprising in Alexandria. It is often mistaken to believe that it was built in honor of the Roman Consul Gneja Pompeiy the Great, but the inscription on his foundation clearly indicates that the pillar was made in honor of Diocletian by the people of Alexandria. The story that when Pompei was defeated by Julia Caesar and escaped from Rome to Egypt, he was killed in Alexandria, and the head was placed in the funeral vessel on the top of the pillar (thereby giving the pillar of his name), the myth. The 27-meter pillars was built during the fourth century of our era and once there was a part of the temple of the Roman God of Serapis, who was subsequently destroyed.

6. Dolmen Menga. Spain

Dated about 2000 BC, Dolmen Menga (also known as Kueva de Menga) - Big funeral Megalithic Kurgan, located in southern Spain. Rows of burial chambers (their walls, roof and poles) were created from huge stone blocks weighing up to 180 tons. As for the name, the legend says that the lepers named Menga settled inside the dollar after her husband died. Archaeologists believe that this dolmen is the largest similar structure in Europe, and several hundreds of different skeletons inside it may have belonged to the rulers of the Menga culture. Nevertheless, who these builders were, remains a mystery to this day.

7. Kirigua. Guatemala

In the built Maya between 200 and 800 years. Kirigua city can find wonderful examples of Maya architecture, as well as one of the largest existing steles (carved stone monuments). Only one "Stela E" weigh the incredible 65 tons. Kirigua was abandoned by about 900 AD, which was probably due to the decline of trade jade.

8. Dear Cherryukin. Iraq

The size of the city was almost 2.6 square kilometers, and the temple of Nabu (God of vegetation) was especially remarkable in it. royal Palace. Nevertheless, the most interesting artifact restored from the ruins is the Assyrian bull - a stone statue weighing about 40 tons. The city was abandoned shortly after its construction was completed, because the king of Assyria Sargon II was killed in battle.

9. Hajar Kim. Malta

Malta Megalithic temple complex Hadzhar Kim, as believed, was built by an unknown modern scientist culture between 3200 and 2500 BC. It is believed that this culture was destroyed as a result of hunger or natural disaster. In Hajar Kim, you can find one of the earliest examples of religious beliefs - a number of fertility goddess are preserved in the local temple. What is interesting, Hajar Kim was built for hundreds of years earlier than Stonehenge.

10. Tiwanako. Bolivia

The prehistoric capital of Tiwanako culture, the city of Tiauanaco is located on the shore of Titicaca Lake in Bolivia. Initially, he was a small village, but in between 400 and 900 years old. The city literally bloomed and many of the largest stone structures in it were erected in South America. However, suddenly the city was empty at about 1000 AD, most likely due to floods. In the end, the civilization of TIAUANAKO won the Inca. The city in which more than a million people once lived was re-opened only in 1876.

Suspended bridges and skyscrapers - miracles of modern engineering, but some of the most impressive buildings in the world have been built thousands of years ago. On our list you will find several amazing architectural monuments, each of which was created long before the Nativity of Christ.

Chinese emperor Qin Shi Juan instructed to start building construction, which turned into a great Chinese wall. The length of this monumental design exceeds 10,000 kilometers.

Newgrejnj.

Approximately four days a year, starting from the day of the winterolester, the rays of the sun penetrate through the top of this monument and fall on the floor of the inner chamber, filling ancient temple light. Built long before Stonehegga (3200 BC) NewGrending, most likely, was used as a religious structure. The remnants of the earthen shaft arise to assume that the inhabitants of the village could have been defeated here.

Acropolis

The first buildings that have formed Acropolis in Athens were destroyed by Persians about 480 BC. The complete reconstruction of the majestic structures took the fifty years of the Greeks - but the work really cost. The highlight of the Acropolis was considered the famous Parthenon, where the beautiful statue of Athena was once stood, made of gold and ivory.

Göbekley Tepe

This is the first temple in the world, built in 9000 to R.Kh. Statues posted here, date back to another thousand years. And the most interesting thing is that some features of the design still put archaeologists to a dead end: T-shaped pillars weigh more than 60 tons - as people of a primitive society have coped with them.

StoneHedzh

Perhaps the most famous archaeological monument of the planet. StoneHedge was built in 3000 BC. From a different type of stone - some of them are not clear how, were delivered to a place for 300 kilometers. In addition, scientists continue to disputes about the true appointment of Stonehechia. The strangest theories are put forward: from an ancient mystical cult, to an advanced astronomical instrument.

Karnaki stones

Most likely this ancient monument He served people to track the movement of the sun and stars. Just think only in 4,500 BC Our ancestors were able to carry out the most complex mathematical calculations by building interesting and original machines for this. The field in strict order placed as 3,000 stones, the weight of some exceeds several tons.

Megalithic temples

A group of six temples of different style - one of your favorite tourist places Malta. Megalithic buildings are noteworthy not only by their age (they are dated 3,500 to R.), but also direct communication with modern technical solutions.

NEP-OF-HOUAR

Simple stone house? Not really. Before you is the oldest of the houses of Northern Europe. Two NEP-Hauar buildings are connected by a tricky passage, and a beautiful view of the sea opens from the door. The hole in the roof indicates that the house was heated with fire, the preserved furniture was stone.
