High Technology left Behind by Prehistoric Man

2012 was the year the Mayan civilization had its highest presence, as everyone waited for their predicted catastrophe. From the stroke of midnight on December 21 to 23:59, humanity passed through the Mayan doomsday without much happening. The failure of the prophecy did not bring the Mayan civilization down from its pedestal, and people continued to yearn for it.

Although the Mayan civilization began very early, with the Mayans building city-states in Mexico in 2500 BC, it is not technically prehistoric because of the written records left behind. What we often refer to as prehistoric civilization is the civilization before the official record of human history, only existed in myth and legend.

Myths and legends sometimes exaggerate the world of prehistory, which mentions some strange things, some people think that this is the prehistoric civilization created higher than the dimension of modern civilization; However, some people believe that it is simply because there is no writing but to rely on oral transmission, in the process of passing down a slip of the tongue, everything after the wrong version of the transmission.

The Modern puzzlement

At the end of World War II, Hitler was on his way out. In order to save himself and Germany at that time, Hitler ordered scientists to search for prehistoric "high technology" -- the axis of the Earth, in an attempt to build a rocket to defeat the Allies. He also believed that the Aryans possessed the Atlantean technology and locked it away on the Tibetan Plateau, so he sent his men to Tibet to look for it.

As strange as it sounds now, humans did build rockets, but not on the Earth's axis, but through a collaboration between aerodynamics, mechanical engineering and energy. Hitler's madness may have something to do with his desperate struggle to lose the second World War. However, some people believe that Hitler may be true, but those prehistoric civilization "technology" should not be underestimated. Prehistory and technology? Are you serious? After all, in the popular perception, science and technology only emerged after the rise of the industrial revolution over 200 years ago, and the prehistoric times were 5,500 years ago recently.

Take Hitler's Atlantis as an example. It remains in the myth, but its exact location is unknown. Some say it is in the Mediterranean, some say it is in Iceland or Greenland, and some say it is at the bottom of the Atlantic. Can a so-called "civilization" that can't even be found anywhere have technology?

The prehistoric civilization

Prehistory refers to the time before there are formal historical records. For example, the Chinese believe that their history is 5,000 years old, but Western scholars believe that we only have 4,000 years. The reason is that figures like Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor and Chiyou only exist in legends, and there is no direct evidence to prove that they actually existed. And the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in Chinese history, was considered to be non-existent because it had no written records. In the West, the oracle bones unearthed in the Yin and Shang dynasties were regarded as the official historical characters.

Western scholars call the Yan-Huang period and the Xia Dynasty as the prehistoric period of China, so we started the "Xia Shang and Zhou dating Project" and found the cultural relics evidence to confirm the existence of the Xia Dynasty, but due to the lack of writing, western scholars have not recognized the Xia Dynasty, only called it a tribe.

From this war between East and West, we can see the importance of writing in history. Although writing is not omnipotent, it is absolutely impossible without writing. China's Xia Dynasty still has relics to prove itself. How could Atlantis be civilized if it couldn't even see a broken tile? Atlantis is no record of no cultural relics passed down, but there are still many brilliant civilizations like the Xia Dynasty in the world, they have no writing, but left a rich cultural heritage to later generations.

In the 18th century, an ancient map of unknown origin was found in Istanbul, Turkey. It was centered on the Mediterranean Sea, showing America and Africa, as well as Antarctica, which was unknown to humans at the time. The quality of the map would have been difficult to describe at the time, because the coasts of America were so deformed.

It wasn't until the 20th century, when aviation technology was developed to get a bird's eye view of the Earth from the sky, that it was discovered that the map was distorted because of the distortion of the wide-angle view from the bird's eye view. Even more striking, the map delineated the continent beneath the ice sheet, just as sonar technology would later map Antarctica.

In 1936, archaeologists in Baghdad, today's capital of Iraq, unearthed a number of jars with a metal rod stuck in the middle. They were later analyzed and found to be batteries! The ancient Baghdatis poured acid or lye into jars and inserted copper rods with an iron core between them, separated by pitch. This is the original electrochemical cell, which archaeologists have reconstructed experimentally, and by connecting multiple cells in series, they can get a stable voltage. This is an artifact of the ancient Empire of Peace, but the history of Peace has no record of batteries.

If even earlier, it is the fossil of Gunid Man 120,000 years ago, this prehistoric human skull unexpectedly has a smooth edge of the round hole, after the recovery of medical experts, this is actually a bullet hole. 120,000 years ago, they didn't even have iron. Where did they get guns?

People can not help but wonder if these are the "high technology" left by prehistoric people. Are we people now just repeating what prehistoric civilizations did? Some scholars have suggested that the "high technology" left behind by prehistoric people may prove that humans have been destroyed many times. Human civilization may have cycles, and we've been going around in cycles, and in between cycles, there are devastating disasters, magical similarities in the legends of nations

In Western mythology, God created the first human beings, Adam and Eve, while in Eastern mythology, humans were made from mud made by Nuwa. Adam and Eve were tempted to eat the forbidden fruit by the snake, which was an animal kept by God in the Garden of Eden. Nuwa Fuxi was the god with the head of man and the body of a snake. The traditional Chinese Tutengong, with a long body like a snake, was thousands of miles away in Central America, and they believed in the feathered snake god, which was also a snake-like animal. The only difference was that the Chinese dragon had scales, while the feathered snake god had feathers.

There are also Western legends of the Great flood, Noah built an ark; In the Oriental legend, there is a flood, Nuwa mending the sky. What is certain is that in prehistoric times, both East and West were hit by floods. There was no writing at that time, but humans had language, so the flood disaster was passed down by oral tradition. Geologists believe that the so-called Great flood was most likely caused by the end of the Quaternary glacier 12,000 years ago, when massive amounts of ice melted and caused the flood, similar to the sea level rise we have now.

So, was there a civilization 12,000 years ago? Because of this sudden flood, it was destroyed. The destruction was so sudden that all traces of them were submerged under the water, leaving only the legend about them. The submerged prehistoric civilization may well have been Atlantis.

The legend of Atlantis has long been based on the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mayan civilization in Central America and the ancient Egyptian civilization in Africa built pyramids. But the Mayan civilization belongs to the Indians, the ancient Egyptians belong to the Europa Mediterranean, two different ethnic groups, unexpectedly coincident to choose the pyramid, this is coincidence? Or is one of them acting as a bridge?

Some scholars believe that Atlantis is the most likely source of the pyramids, and it had the most advanced construction and navigation techniques of the time, which carried them to Egypt and Central America. Then there was the great flood, and Atlantis was destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea. The Maya and Egypt that followed were merely replicating the civilization of Atlantis

And THE SNAKE APPEARED IN THE EAST AND WEST LEGEND, IT IS VERY likely that this is the totem of a certain civilization of PREhistory, they have not arisen in the four ancient civilizations when they met with them. Their advanced civilization inspired the four ancient countries that were tribes at that time. In order to respect them, they incorporated this totem into their own history and passed it down through the language. It became more and more mythological in the spoken language from generation to generation. Also because of the flood disaster, prehistoric civilization was destroyed, the four ancient countries began to enter the next cycle of civilization.

Therefore, in the absence of direct evidence of prehistoric civilization, academic circles still follow the current history of human development. Of course, if we ever find evidence of prehistoric civilizations and can talk to them through time and space, we'll understand that humans don't know much about themselves.
