History is an amalgam of theories demonstrated through archaeological finds. Modern history on the other hand is almost the same, but it disregards any discoveries trying to pierce the thick wall of paradigmatic conceptions established so far.

With this in mind, historic data that has been spoon-fed to us during the modern age could be lacking “undesired” details that would put our entire existence in a novel perspective. If this is truly the case, the only question remaining is: why would they do such a thing? But the matter is too convoluted to give a complacent answer, so you better have a look at some of these history-challenging discoveries.

The Ica Stones are a monumental collection of over 15,000 artifacts made of grey andesite with rigorous carvings depicting dinosaurs, advanced medical procedures, and other intriguing devices such as telescopes.

Since so many Ica stones exist, there is great variety when inspecting the carved patterns and shapes, and also their size, which ranges from pebbles to rocks of considerable proportions. Although some of the stones seem to display styles of nearby cultures such as the Paracas, Tiwanaku, Nazca or the Inca, other designs have baffled researchers because they can’t seem to establish any analogy with other known cultures.

Some of the most common symbols present on the Ica stones show various animals, fish and flowers, but the most exquisite reveal dinosaurs, mythological creatures, advanced pieces of technology and what appears to be a heart surgery procedure.

Other stones have symbols and geometrical images that perfectly match some of the Nazca geoglyphs.

As any challenging discovery, the story of the Peruvian stones revolves around a controversy that’s casting a shadow of doubt over their authenticity. But is this intriguing collection truly a forgery, or is there rather a conspiracy in place orchestrated by the powers that be? Let’s judge that based on the known facts:

The controversial Ica Stones were unearthed in the Ica region of Peru. It was 1966 when Peruvian physicist Javier Cabrera Darquea had first brought the stones into the open. According to his accounts, he first received a stone on his 42nd birthday from his friend and it bore a representation of an extinct fish.

Fascinated by the topic of Peruvian history, Cabrera embarked on a mission to collect more of these remarkable stones, if there were more indeed. During his trek for unusual relics, he came across two brothers, collectors of pre-Inca artifacts, who sold him about 300 of such stones. Cabrera had then realized there could be more of these stones, and a historical treasure trove was waiting at the end of this mission if he were to be successful.

Determined to elucidate this mystery, Cabrera had further wondered in search of similar relics and he eventually met a farmer named Basilio Uschuya who claimed to have a hefty collection himself which he had found inside a remote cave exposed after the Ica River had overflowed and ravaged a nearby slope.

By the 1970s, Cabrera’s collection of unusual Peruvian stones numbered more than 15,000, in most part due to the trade he’d done with Basilio. Although the farmer hadn’t disclosed the exact location of the cave, he sold the artifacts to Cabrera, for he alone found no practical use for them. So, here’s where the story becomes really controversial.

After news of the out-of-place cache of stones had reached the ears of westerners, everyone was anxious to see them up-close and inspect them. The first major outlet to cover the story was BBC. They filmed a documentary that had drawn even more attention to the case, and soon after the Peruvian government tailed into the matter because it was forbidden to sell the country’s antiquities.

Cabrera was now risking years in prison and his collection of artifacts were hanging by a thread. It was then when he decided to rescue his freedom and newly developed hobby by claiming that the Ica stones were all elaborate forgeries made by his own hands. He said that all 15,000 stones he had at that moment were manually engraved using a dental drill. It was enough to please the government, but Cabrera never actually stopped spreading his message about the mysterious stones.

Years later, the man published a book named ‘The Message of the Engraved Stones of Ica,’ where he revealed his conceptions and ideas regarding the stones. He wrote that these artifacts show that our forefathers lived among dinosaurs and that “…through the transplantation of the cognitive codes to highly intelligent primates, the men from outer space created new men on earth.”

In 1996, he had inaugurated his personal museum where he displayed thousands of the Ica stones and soon after people started wondering if humans didn’t coexist with dinosaurs before their brisk demise.

Another proposed theory was that the artifacts are remnants belonging to a civilization previously unknown to us. None of this ideas has been well received inside academic circles, and the reason is understandable.

According to those advocating for the artifacts of Ica’s authenticity, early humans could have escaped the devastating effects of the meteorite that had wiped the dinosaurs due to their appropriate stature which allowed them to fit into tight spaces such as crevices or underground shelters.

Other researchers have argued that stones with similar engravings were found inside three different graves in the Ica region different than those found by Uschuya. Archaeologist Alejandro Pezzia Asserato who was responsible for the find had dated the relics to between 400 BC and 700 AD. His discovery had been published in 1968 and included various drawings of the engraved shapes.

Aware of this game-changing and messy detail, skeptics have still argued that Cabrera forged the Ica stones, at least the pieces with the most spicy representations, and sold them to secure a fortune.

We cannot dismiss this possibility either, but as Cabrera has asserted, this is a collection hard to manufacture even if there were multiple forgers involved. Alone, a man would needed 40 years of daily stone carving to reach this tremendous feat of 15,000 pieces and counting.

Another problem is that Cabrera’s stones are lacking a proper age verification since there has been no organic material present on them, and the cave where they were allegedly found was lost to the blackness of time upon its discoverers final departure.

Since not all pieces were put head to head, more time is needed to crack this mystery completely. For now, the Ica stones stand as reasonable evidence of a forgotten culture that had once buried a fascinating legacy that challenges mainstream historic ideas.

What do you think to be the case?

Attested historic evidence of ancient advanced civilizations stretches back more than 4,500 years, to a time when the Sumerians living in ancient Mesopotamia were busy writing poems and fighting wars. This tiny span of time compared to the universal timescale highlights the many possible gaps  in our history books.

One of the constant contributors to the pile of rubble lying on top of challenging historic vestiges is war. It had been waged since time immemorial and played a decisive role in demolishing or covering up all traces of once-lofty cultures. But fortunately, the latest laser scanning technology is uncovering numerous breadcrumbs from remote times which prove that our forefathers possessed advanced notions of a great deal of things, opposite to how currently attested history wants us to believe.

As evidence of their exceptional achievements stand a collection of artifacts that were unearthed from inside a South African mine. The out-of-place-objects, as they were dubbed, were comprised of a series of various metallic spheres with smooth coating, concentric grooves around their circumference, and one inch diameter in average. Probably the most intriguing aspect was their age – dated to about 2,8 billion years back.

According to researchers, the Klerksdorp Spheres stand proof of a remote race with exceeding technological capabilities that could create perfect spheres with the aid of complex devices, possibly through molding. It would be close to impossible for a modern sculptor to replicate such perfectly round stones, at least not without specific tools.

Part of these enigmatic stones are kept at the Museum of Klerksdorp in South Africa, where interested parts are free to gather more insight into these artifacts. Here’s what Museum Curator Roelf Marx has to say about this:

The sphere are a complete mystery. They look man-made, yet at the time in Earth’s history when they came to rest in this rock, no intelligent life existed. They’re nothing like I’ve ever seen before. They are found in phyrophylite, which is mined in South Africa. this phyrophylite is a quite soft mineral with a count of only 3 on the Mohs’ scale and was formed by sedimentation about 2.8 billion years ago.

On the other hand, the globes which have a fibrous structure on the inside with a shell around it, are very hard and cannot be scratched, not even with steel.”

The Klerksdorp spheres have a different material consistency than the pyrophylite from which they were extracted, thus hinting at their possible artificial nature, rather than resultant of a natural phenomenon. This intriguing aspects has made those researching the spheres wonder if they were not manufactured by a long-forgotten civilization.

With a spherical design and colors varying between dark-blue, hazel, and chestnut color, these puzzling artifacts seem to hold more questions than answers. Were they utilized in some sort of ancient ritual? Or rather their petite size and almost flawless execution indicate that these could have been used as ornaments or decorative body accessories by a former 2.8 billion years old culture?

Another remarkable attribute resulted upon inspection  was the extreme balance of these out-of-place objects. Intrigued about this, Mr. Hund of Pietersburg who also had a similar stone from a different mine near Ottosdal, had forwarded an inquiry along with the material evidence he had in his possession to the California Space Institute at the University of California, from where Hund received more baffling news.

It turned out that the balance is so fine, it exceeds the limit of their measuring technology and these are the guys who make gyro-compasses for NASA,” Hund said after receiving the results.

He went on offering more details about the unusual spheres which were “balanced to within one-hundred-thousands of an inch from absolute perfection.” According to investigators working at NASA, no current technology would be able to replicate something as finely balanced, unless the process would occur in zero gravity or space.

The second proposed hypothesis involved the erratic work of nature, but some traits are hard, if not impossible to relate to this scenario.

Mr. Hund noted all his particularities regarding the Klerksdorp spheres, as well as points of view shared by other fellow researchers and scientists he had discussed with, in a letter that, for a while, was displayed at the museum of out-of-place-objects in South Africa.

I was intrigued by the form of the spheres, grooves around the middle and the fact that they are as hard as steel, while the material – phyrophylite – in which they are found, is as soft as limestone with a count of only 3 on the Moh scale.

They vary in size from 30 to 50 mm in diameter and have perfectly concentric grooves round the center as if they were molded. Inside the hard shell, some have a spongy substance, while in others resembles charcoal.”

The spheres were found several decades back and had gained much infamy since then. They became targeted by witch-doctors who sought them for their alleged magic powers and at one point in time a sagoma (mage) deliberately stole some of the spheres from the museum to enhance his rituals and magic powers. The stolen spheres were never returned.

After the immensurable span of time in which the Klerksdorp spheres were subjected to various forces inside Earth’s crust, their intended use became unclear and their alleged magic properties questionable. Nevertheless, the strangeness of these out-of-place-artifacts is not to be denied, and the role they might have played for our extremely ancient forefathers.

More than 200 such spheres were recovered from the Wonderstone Silver Mine in South Africa, a region where traces of previously unknown cultures have recently been brought to light. The alloy used to cover the spheres is made of a nickel and steel, a composition that doesn’t occur naturally.

Some have shells of about a quarter of an inch thick, and when split in half, an unknown substance is revealed which breaks down into particles upon first air contact.

With so many mysteries in a nutshell, the Klerksdorp spheres have made some truth seekers wonder if they might not have been related to, or used by the Anunnaki who are believed to have established a mining operation facility right on the plains of South Africa more than 200,000 years ago. The artifacts are however dated to a much further date, to a time where not even our imagination can stretch.

With this in mind, it’s possible that some historical facts had been erroneously interpreted by modern science, and pieces of the puzzle are finally starting to complete the main picture which seems rather challenging for the established paradigm.

Although time has taken its toll on these unusual artifacts and has made them indecipherable, it wasn’t enough to stop human curiosity from attributing them otherworldly origins and uses. One thing remains certain though – their ancient creators, whoever they were, possessed advanced notions and techniques that exceeded by far the scientific interpretation attributed by modern man.

Whatever the case, the Klerksdorp spheres remain one of those mysteries extremely hard to crack.
