Civilizations that lived on earth. The reason for the emergence of civilizations. Development of civilizations on Earth

Original taken from irnella V

Otherwise, how can one explain that there are a large number of artifacts in the world, the origin of which cannot be explained from the point of view of our usual theory of the origin of humanity.

Judge for yourself.

Figurines from Ecuador

Figures very reminiscent of astronauts were found in Ecuador, their age is more than 2000 years.

Stone plate from Nepal

The Loladoff plate is a stone dish whose age exceeds 12 thousand years. This artifact was found in Nepal. The images and clear lines carved on the surface of this flat stone led many researchers to believe that it was of extraterrestrial origin. After all, ancient people couldn’t process stone so skillfully? In addition, the “plate” depicts a creature that is very reminiscent of an alien in his well-known form.

Boot print with trilobite

"... On our Earth, archaeologists have discovered a once-living creature called a trilobite. It existed 600-260 million years ago, after which it died out. An American scientist found a trilobite fossil, on which a trace of a human foot is visible, with a clear imprint of a shoe. Doesn’t this make historians the butt of a joke? Based on Darwin’s theory of evolution, how could man exist 260 million years ago?”

IKI stones

"In the museum of the State University of Peru there is a stone on which a human figure is carved. Research has shown that it was carved 30 thousand years ago. But this figure, dressed in clothes, wearing a hat and shoes, holds a telescope in his hands and observes the celestial body. Like 30 thousand years ago, people knew how to weave? How can it be that people even then wore clothes? It is completely incomprehensible that he holds a telescope in his hands and observes a celestial body. This means that he still has certain astronomical knowledge. It has long been known to us that he is a European. Galileo invented the telescope just over 300 years ago. Who invented this telescope 30 thousand years ago?”
Excerpt from the book "Falun Dafa".

Jade discs: a puzzle for archaeologists

In ancient China, around 5000 BC, large stone discs made of jade were placed in the graves of local nobles. Their purpose, as well as the manufacturing method, still remains a mystery to scientists, because jade is a very durable stone.

Sabu's Disc: The Unsolved Mystery of Egyptian Civilization.

The mystical ancient artifact, believed to be part of an unknown mechanism, was found by Egyptologist Walter Bryan in 1936 while examining the tomb of Mastaba Sabu, who lived around 3100 - 3000 BC. The burial place is located near the village of Sakkara.

The artifact is a regular round thin-walled stone plate made of meta-silt (metasilt in Western terminology), with three thin edges bent towards the center and a small cylindrical sleeve in the middle. In places where the edge petals bend towards the center, the circumference of the disk continues with a thin rim of circular cross-section about a centimeter in diameter. The diameter is approximately 70cm, the circle shape is not ideal. This plate raises a number of questions, both about the unclear purpose of such an item, and about the method by which it was made, since it has no analogues.

It is quite possible that five thousand years ago the Saba disk had some important role. However, at the moment, scientists cannot accurately determine its purpose and complex structure. The question remains open.

Vase 600 million years old

A report about an extremely unusual find was published in a scientific journal in 1852. It was about a mysterious vessel about 12 cm high, two halves of which were discovered after an explosion in one of the quarries. This vase with clear images of flowers was located inside a rock 600 million years old.

Corrugated Spheres

For the past few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal balls. These balls of unknown origin are approximately an inch (2.54 cm) in diameter, and some of them are engraved with three parallel lines running along the axis of the object. Two types of balls were found: one consisting of a hard bluish metal with white spots, and another empty from the inside and filled with a white spongy substance. Interestingly, the rock in which they were discovered dates back to the Precambrian period and dates back 2.8 billion years! Who made these spheres and why remains a mystery.

Fossil giant. Atlant.

The 12-foot fossilized giant was found in 1895 during mining operations in the English city of Antrim. Photos of the giant are taken from the British magazine "The Strand" for December 1895. His height is 12 feet 2 inches (3.7 m.), chest girth is 6 feet 6 inches (2 m.), arm length is 4 feet 6 inches (1.4 m.). It is noteworthy that his right hand has 6 fingers.

The six fingers and toes resemble the people mentioned in the Bible (2nd book of Samuel): “There was also a battle in Gath; and there was one tall man there, who had six fingers and six toes, making a total of twenty-four.”

Giant femur.

In the late 1950s, during road construction in southeastern Turkey in the Euphrates Valley, a number of burial sites with gigantic remains were excavated. In two, femurs about 120 centimeters long were found. Joe Taylor, director of the Fossil Museum in Crosbyton, Texas, USA, carried out the reconstruction. The owner of a femur of this size had a height of about 14-16 feet (about 5 meters) and a foot size of 20-22 inches (almost half a meter!). When walking, his fingers were 6 feet above the ground.

Huge human footprint.

This footprint was found near Glen Rose, Texas in the Palaxy River. The length of the print is 35.5 cm and the width is almost 18 cm. Paleontologists say that the print is female. The study showed that the person who left such a print was about three meters tall.

Nevada giants.

There is a Native American legend about 12-foot (3.6 m) red-haired giants who lived in the Nevada area. It talks about American Indians killing giants in a cave. During the excavation of guano, a huge jaw was found. The photo compares two jaws: a found one and a normal human one.

In 1931, two skeletons were found at the bottom of the lake. One was 8 feet (2.4 m) high, and the other was just under 10 feet (about 3 m).

Ica stones. Dinosaur rider.

Figurine from the collection of Voldemar Dzhulsrud. Dinosaur rider.

1944 Acambaro - 300 km north of Mexico City.

Aluminum wedge from Ayuda.

In 1974, an aluminum wedge coated with a thick layer of oxide was found on the banks of the Maros River, which is located near the city of Ayud in Transylvania. It is noteworthy that it was found among the remains of a mastodon, which are 20 thousand years old. Usually they find aluminum with admixtures of other metals, but the wedge was made of pure aluminum.

It is impossible to find an explanation for this find, since aluminum was discovered only in 1808, and began to be produced in industrial quantities only in 1885. The wedge is still being studied in some secret place.

Piri Reis Map

This map, rediscovered in a Turkish museum in 1929, is a mystery not only because of its amazing accuracy, but also because of what it depicts.

Painted on the skin of a gazelle, the Piri Reis map is the only surviving part of a larger map. It was compiled in the 1500s, according to the inscription on the map itself, from other maps of the year 300. But how is this possible if the map shows:

South America, exactly located relative to Africa
-West coasts of North Africa and Europe, and east coast of Brazil
-Most striking is the continent partially visible far to the South, where we know Antarctica is, although it was not discovered until 1820. Even more mysterious is that it is depicted in detail and without ice, even though this land mass has been covered in ice for at least six thousand years.

Today this artifact is also not available for public viewing.

Ancient springs, screws and metal.

They are similar to items you would find in any workshop's scrap bin.

It is obvious that these artifacts were made by someone. However, this collection of springs, loops, spirals and other metal objects was discovered in layers of sedimentary rock that are one hundred thousand years old! At that time, foundries were not very common.

Thousands of these things - some as small as a thousandth of an inch! - were discovered by gold miners in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1990s. Unearthed at depths of 3 to 40 feet, in layers of earth dating back to the upper Pleistocene period, these mysterious objects may have been created some 20,000 to 100,000 years ago.

Could they be evidence of a long-lost but advanced civilization?

Shoe marks on granite.

This trace fossil was discovered in a coal seam in Fisher Canyon, Nevada. According to estimates, the age of this coal is 15 million years!

And lest you think that this is a fossil of some animal whose shape resembles the sole of a modern shoe, studying the footprint under a microscope revealed clearly visible traces of a double seam line around the perimeter of the shape. The footprint is about a size 13 and the right side of the heel appears more worn than the left.
How did the imprint of a modern shoe 15 million years ago end up on a substance that later became coal?

Mysterious finds of Elias Sotomayor: The oldest globe.

A large treasure trove of ancient artifacts was discovered by an expedition led by Elias Sotomayor in 1984. In the Ecuadorian La Mana mountain range, 300 stone artifacts were discovered in a tunnel at a depth of over ninety meters.

One of the oldest globes on Earth, also made of stone, was also discovered in the La Mana tunnel. On the far from perfect ball, the craftsman may have simply spared effort in making it, but the round boulder bears images of continents familiar from school days.

But if many of the outlines of the continents differ little from modern ones, then from the coast of Southeast Asia towards America the planet looks completely different. Huge masses of land are depicted where now only a boundless sea splashes.

The Caribbean islands and the Florida peninsula are completely absent. Just below the equator in the Pacific Ocean there is a gigantic island, approximately equal in size to modern Madagascar. Modern Japan is part of a giant continent that extends to the shores of America and extends far to the south. It remains to add that the find in La Mana is apparently the oldest map of the world.

Ancient jade service for 12 people.

Sotomayor's other findings are no less interesting. In particular, a “service” of thirteen bowls was discovered. Twelve of them have perfectly equal volume, and the thirteenth is much larger. If you fill 12 small bowls with liquid to the brim, and then pour them into a large one, then it will be filled exactly to the brim. All bowls are made of jade. The purity of their processing suggests that the ancients had a stone processing technology similar to a modern lathe.

So far, Sotomayor's findings raise more questions than they answer. But they once again confirm the thesis that our information about the history of the Earth and humanity is still very far from perfect.

At the dawn of mankind, the southern part of Mesopotamia, which in the classical era was called Babylonia, was inhabited by the very first civilization on Earth. Nowadays this is the territory of modern Iraq, stretching from Baghdad to the Persian Gulf, with a total area of about 26 thousand square meters. km.

The place has a very dry and hot climate with scorched and weathered, low-fertility soils. A river plain devoid of stones and minerals, swamps covered with reeds, a complete absence of wood - this is exactly what this land was like more than three thousand years ago. But the people who inhabited this territory and were known throughout the world as the Sumerians were endowed with a decisive and enterprising disposition and an extraordinary mind. He turned a lifeless plain into a blooming garden and created what would later be called nothing less than “the first civilization on Earth.”

Origin of the Sumerians

There is no reliable information about the origin of the Sumerians. Until now, it is difficult for historians and archaeologists to say whether they were the indigenous inhabitants of Mesopotamia or came to these lands from outside. The second option is considered the most likely. Presumably the representatives came from the Zagros mountains, or even Hindustan. The Sumerians themselves did not write anything about their origins. In 1964, a proposal was first made to consider this issue from various aspects: linguistic, racial, ethnic. After this, the search for truth finally deepened into linguistics, into elucidating the genetic connections of the Sumerian language, which is currently considered isolated.

The Sumerians, who founded the first civilization on Earth, never called themselves that. In fact, this word denotes the territory, the south of Mesopotamia, while the Sumerians called themselves “black-headed”.

Sumerian language

Linguists define Sumerian as an agglutinative language. This means that the formation of forms and derivatives occurs by adding unambiguous affixes. The Sumerian language consisted mainly of monosyllabic words, so it’s hard to even imagine how many there were, sounding the same but differing in meaning. In ancient sources, according to scientists, there are about three thousand of them. Moreover, more than 100 words are used only 1-2 times, and the most frequently used are only 23.

As already mentioned, one of the main features of the language is the abundance of homonyms. Most likely, there was a rich system of tones and laryngeal sounds, which is difficult to read in the graphics of clay tablets. In addition, the first civilization on Earth had two dialects. The literary language (eme-gir) was used most widely, and the priests spoke a secret dialect (eme-sal), inherited from their ancestors and, most likely, not a tone one.

Sumerian was the intermediary language and was used throughout southern Mesopotamia. Therefore, its bearer was not necessarily an ethnic representative of this ancient people.

Writing

The question of whether the Sumerians created writing remains controversial. However, the fact is that they improved it and transformed it into cuneiform. They greatly valued the art of writing and attribute its appearance to the very beginning of the creation of their civilization. It is likely that at the dawn of the history of writing, it was not clay that was used, but another, more easily destroyed material. Therefore, a lot of information is lost.

The very first civilization on earth BC, to be fair, created its own writing system. The process was long and complex. Is the gazelle depicted by an ancient artist art or a message? If he did this on a stone, in places where there are many animals, then this will be a valid message for his comrades. It says: “There are a lot of gazelles here,” which means there will be a good hunt. The message could well include several drawings. For example, add a lion, and the warning already sounds: “There are many gazelles here, but there is danger.” This historical stage is considered the first step towards the creation of writing. Gradually, the drawings were transformed, simplified and began to be schematic in nature. In the picture you see how this transformation took place. People have noticed that it is easier to make impressions on clay with a reed stick rather than paint. All the curves are gone.

The ancient Sumerians - the first civilization on earth that found its own - consisted of several hundred signs, with 300 being the most used. Most of them had several similar meanings. Cuneiform was used in Mesopotamia for almost 3,000 years.

Religion of the people

The work of the pantheon of Sumerian gods can be compared to an assembly, headed by a supreme “king”. Such a meeting was further divided into groups. The main one is known as the “Great Gods” and consisted of 50 deities. It was she, according to the Sumerians, who decided the destinies of people.

According to mythology, it was created from clay mixed with the blood of the gods. The universe consisted of two worlds (upper and lower), separated by earth. It is interesting that already in those days the Sumerians had a myth about the global flood. In addition, a poem has reached us that tells about the creation of the world, individual episodes of which very closely intersect with the main Christian shrine - the Bible. For example, the sequence of events, in particular the creation of man on the sixth day. There are heated debates about such a connection between pagan religion and Christianity.

Culture

Sumerian culture is one of the most interesting and vibrant among the other peoples who inhabited Mesopotamia. By the third millennium it had reached its peak. People lived during this period and were actively engaged in cattle breeding, farming, and fishing. Gradually, exclusively agriculture replaced handicrafts: pottery, foundry, weaving and stone-cutting industries developed.

The characteristic features of the architecture are: the erection of buildings on artificial embankments, the distribution of rooms around the courtyard, the division of walls with vertical niches and the introduction of color. Two of the most striking monuments of monumental construction of 4 thousand BC. e. - temples in Uruk.

Archaeologists have found quite a lot of art objects: sculptures, remains of images on stone walls, vessels, metal products. All of them are made with great skill. What is the magnificent helmet made of pure gold worth (pictured)! One of the most interesting inventions of the Sumerians is printing. They depicted people, animals, and scenes from everyday life.

Early Dynastic period: Stage 1

This is the time when authentic cuneiform was already created - 2750-2600 BC. e. This period is characterized by the existence of a large number of city-states, the center of which was a large temple economy. Outside them there were large family communities. The main productive labor lay with the so-called temple clients, who were deprived of property rights. The spiritual and political elite of society already existed - the military leader and priest and, accordingly, their immediate circle.

The ancient people had an extraordinary mind and a certain inventive talent. In those distant times, people had already come to the idea of irrigation, having studied the possibility of collecting and directing the muddy waters of the Euphrates and Tigris in the right direction. By enriching the soil in the fields and gardens with organic matter, they increased its productivity. But large-scale work, as you know, requires a large workforce. The first civilization on earth was familiar with slavery, moreover, it was legalized.

It is reliably known about the existence of 14 Sumerian cities during this period. Moreover, the most developed, prosperous and cultic place was Nippur, where the temple of the main god, Enlil, was located.

Early Dynastic period: Stage 2

This period (2600-2500 BC) is characterized by military conflicts. The century began with the defeat of the ruler of the city of Kish, which supposedly caused the invasion of the Elamites - the inhabitants of the ancient state on the territory of modern Iran. In the south, a number of city-nomes united into a military alliance. There was a tendency towards centralization of power.

Early Dynastic period: Stage 3

At the third stage of the Early Dynastic period, 500 years after the moment when the first civilization appeared on Earth (according to archaeologists), the growth and development of city-states occurs, and stratification and increasing social contradictions are observed in society. On this basis, the struggle of the rulers of the nomes for power intensifies. One military conflict followed another in pursuit of the hegemony of one city over all. In one of the ancient Sumerian epics, dating back to 2600 BC. e., it is said about the unification of Sumer under the rule of Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk. After another two hundred years, most of the state was conquered by the king of Akkad.

The growing Babylonian Empire absorbed Sumer by the middle of the second millennium BC. e., and Sumerian lost its status as a spoken language even earlier. However, for several thousand years it was preserved as a literary text. This is the approximate time when the Sumerian civilization ceased to exist as a political integral formation.

Very often you can find information that the mythical Atlantis is the first civilization on earth. The Atlanteans who inhabited it are the ancestors of modern people. However, most of the scientific world calls this fact nothing more than fiction, a beautiful story. Indeed, every year information about the mysterious continent acquires new details, but at the same time does not have any historical support by facts or archaeological excavations.

In this regard, the opinion is increasingly heard that the first civilization on earth arose in the fourth millennium BC, and these were the Sumerians.

Millions of people all over the globe, just like you and me, are fascinated by ancient civilizations. The truth is that a large number of civilizations that have existed on Earth since time immemorial had technologies that are incomprehensible even now. Thousands of years ago, ancient cultures held amazing knowledge - from astronomy and biology to chemistry and engineering.

1. Ancient Egyptian civilization

Ancient Egyptian language is considered one of the oldest on Earth. It has existed for five millennia and is considered a long-lived member of the large language family. According to researchers, this language can be divided into five stages: Old Egyptian, Middle Egyptian, New Egyptian, Demotic and Coptic. The writing system consisted of hieroglyphs and its development can be traced back to 2690 BC.

From a scientific point of view, the ancient Egyptians were ahead of their time: already in 1650 BC. they knew multiplication, division, fractions and prime numbers, linear equations and geometry. They are officially considered the builders of the pyramids. But perhaps the most interesting fact is that they became the first ancient civilization to learn how to measure time. The Egyptians not only invented the calendar, they created a mechanism that kept track of time - water and sundials.

2. Ancient Mayan civilization

Like the ancient Egyptians, the Mayans were also brilliant astronomers and mathematicians. They are credited - although this is a very controversial issue - with the invention of the zero, as well as the amazingly accurate measurement of the length of the solar year.

The ancient Mayans inhabited southern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. They were one of the most important and advanced ancient civilizations to ever exist on Earth. Particularly famous are the Mayan manuscripts - the only written system of pre-Columbian North and South America. The earliest records subsequently discovered in San Bartolo (Guatemala) were made in the third century BC.

It is curious that this ancient civilization of Mesoamerica perfectly mastered the technology of making rubber products - and this happened three thousand years before people from the Old World learned what rubber was. When the Spanish conquistadors first set foot on the American continent, they were amazed that they had to deal not with a primitive, but with a highly developed culture.

3. Indus Valley Civilization

It is believed that the ancient Indian civilization is the oldest on the planet. It is 8 thousand years old, which is thousands of years older than Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. It is famous for several amazing things, but most of all for its good urban planning. Before constructing cities such as Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, their designers designed each of the many details. According to researchers, at its peak, the Indus Valley Civilization had more than five million inhabitants. The ancient Hindus were among the first to build houses from baked bricks, equipped with extremely complex sewerage and water supply systems.

They achieved incredible accuracy in measuring mass, length and time, being among the first to create a system of uniform weights and measures.

4. Ancient civilization of Karala

One of the most mysterious and advanced civilizations that ever existed in South America. It was located in the coastal regions of modern Peru. According to historians, this civilization invented cuneiform, one of the earliest forms of written communication.

The Caral are one of the most complex ancient civilizations to ever exist on Earth. Thousands of years ago they created pyramids, circular plazas and intricate staircases. Their pyramidal complex covers a whopping 165 acres and is one of the largest on Earth. These pyramids were built at the same time as the ancient Egyptian ones. The main one occupies an area equal to almost four football fields, and its height is 18 meters.

The most important detail to mention when it comes to Carala is the absence of weapons and mutilated bodies at the excavation sites. Not a single sign of war was found there, which allows us to conclude: Caral was a highly developed diplomatic state, the oldest city in the western hemisphere of the planet.

It turns out that this virtually unknown ancient Peruvian civilization developed advanced techniques in agronomy, medicine, engineering and architecture more than 5 thousand years ago.

Their scientific knowledge has led today's researchers to a dead end. Scientists have been unable to unravel many of the mysteries underlying this largest of South American civilizations. This concerns the use of energy, fluid mechanics. The people of Caral were able to channel wind energy, now known as the Venturi effect, through underground ducts and fires to reach high temperatures.

Researchers were curious to discover that the physicians of Caral used willow as an active chemical component to produce aspirin, which was used to relieve headaches. Ancient engineers were brilliant specialists. They mastered civil engineering and applied earthquake engineering, so their buildings survived for five thousand years.

5. Ancient civilization of Tiahuanaco

Thousands of years ago, on the shores of Lake Titicaca in the Andes, an ancient civilization arose, which very quickly became one of the most developed on Earth. Like many other advanced civilizations, it strangely disappeared five hundred years after its existence. Its representatives created such fabulous cities as Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku, and also became the progenitors of another great civilization - the ancient Incas.

According to scientists, Tiahuanaco appeared "suddenly" sometime around 300 AD, and reached its peak between 500 and 900 AD.

The ancient inhabitants of Tiahuanaco developed sophisticated methods of farming and building water canals that are still in use today. Irrigation systems, modern even by today's standards, provided the required amount of water for crops.

Researchers estimate that in the 700s AD, the Tiahuanaco civilization dominated and ruled over a vast area spanning modern-day Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. The population ranged from three hundred thousand to one and a half million people.

The ancient builders of Tiahuanaco created some of the most impressive ancient monuments on the planet, constructing gigantic structures composed of megalithic stones. The most notable structures built by this ancient civilization are Akapana, Puma Punku and Akapana East, Putuni, Keri Kala and Kalasasaya. One of the most famous structures is the Gate of the Sun.

According to archaeologist Arthur Poznanski, the temples of Tiahuanaco were built from polished stone blocks with several rows of small round holes in them. According to Posnanski, these holes were used in the distant past to attach things to them. These round holes are extremely precise and it is hard to believe that an ancient civilization made them without any advanced technology.

Recently, the famous researcher of ancient civilizations Ernst Muldashev returned from his next, 17th expedition. This time he and his colleagues visited the Kola Peninsula. Their goal was to discover traces of Bigfoot and German “Flying Saucers” there, as well as to unravel the secret of “whethering” - an art that local shamans have long mastered.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, an expedition of the special department of the NKVD, led by Alexander Barchenko, visited the Kola Peninsula. She tried to study the culture of the indigenous Sami people, in which there was a lot of mystery, starting with the worship of sacred stones - seids and ending with metering - the ability to put oneself into a trance, during which people repeated each other’s movements, spoke in incomprehensible languages, formulated prophecies ... sometimes this occurred during communication with shamans - noids, and sometimes near seids.

During the war, according to legend, representatives of the fascist occult organization Ahnenerbe landed on the peninsula, building unusual aircraft here with the help of the secret magical knowledge of the ancient Sami.
Muldashev failed to meet the Bigfoot, rumored to live here, and find traces of the production of German “Flying Saucers”. But otherwise, as he told the press, the expedition was quite successful.

The scientist claims that during his travels he was able to find evidence of the existence of early earthly civilizations that preceded the current one. According to Muldashev, there were four of them.
The first race on earth were the so-called asuras (“Self-born”. They had a truly gigantic height - about 50 meters, were luminous ethereal forms and communicated with each other telepathically. Presumably the asuras came to earth from the planet Phaeton, destroyed as a result of some then disasters.
The asura civilization lived on earth for about 10 million years, and the life of each of them lasted tens of thousands of years... gradually, in the process of evolution, they mutated and a new race with more dense bodies was formed. Its representatives were called Atlanteans (“Born After”), or “boneless.” The Atlanteans were also much larger than modern humans, but were still smaller than the Asuras and had a third eye located between the eyebrows.
The Atlanteans were replaced by the Lemurians. Their height reached 7-8 meters. In appearance, they already resembled modern people, had a dense body and a bony skeleton. A division into men and women occurred. The Lemurians' telepathic abilities and third eye had already begun to atrophy, and they focused more on the physical senses.

The life expectancy of the Lemurians was much shorter than that of the two previous races, but still amounted to more than a thousand years. It was the Lemurians, according to Muldashev and other researchers, who created the Egyptian Sphinx, Stonehenge and many megalithic complexes in Europe and South America.

In parallel, a fourth race began to form on our planet - the late Atlanteans, or “Boreas”. They still had a well-hidden third eye, but the rest of the organs were not much different from ordinary humans, and their height was “Only” 3-4 meters.

About 25,000-30 years ago, a nuclear disaster happened on Earth. The reason for it was supposedly the conflict between two races - the Lemurians and the Atlanteans. As a result of the ensuing series of global cataclysms, some of the Lemurians went into caves, where they fell into the “Somadhi” state, in which bodies can be stored indefinitely in a “preserved” state, and then return to life again. Some left the earth on spaceships.
Meanwhile, the Atlanteans, using the knowledge they received from the Lemurians, managed to achieve a high level of technological development. This helped them build flying machines (vimanas), Egyptian pyramids, stone idols on Easter Island and many other structures that are today considered a historical mystery. However, as a result of another cataclysm, the part of the land where the Atlanteans lived, the legendary Atlantis, was flooded. This happened about 12 thousand years ago. Even during the late Atlanteans, the fifth Aryan civilization arose, that is, the modern human race, which, due to the lack of a third eye, developed very slowly.

Ancient manuscripts and finds tell us about previous civilizations, indicating that the earth was once inhabited by giants who had extensive knowledge in various fields. By the way, Muldashev claims that during an expedition to the Himalayas he found a cave where the ancestors of mankind, the Lemurians, sleep in the state of “Samadhi”. The Kola Peninsula is supposedly the ancestral home of the modern "Aryan" race - the Hyperboreans.

Soon Muldashev plans to go to the East of Mongolia, and from there to the West towards Russia... the new expedition will be called “In the Footsteps of Genghis Khan”. The scientist plans to repeat the path of the legendary conqueror in order to better understand the pattern of development and integration of Eastern and Western civilizations.

The ancient Sumerians were the first civilization on earth to acquire their own written language. Cuneiform consisted of several hundred characters, with 300 being the most commonly used. Most of them had several similar meanings. Cuneiform was used in Mesopotamia for almost 3,000 years.

Today, a huge number of works have been written about the disappeared mighty civilization of the ancient world, ranging from poetic essays and literary descriptions to serious scientific treatises. In each individual case, one has to deal with a huge set of assumptions and hypotheses that the ancient world looked different from what the world map looks like today. Another new hypothesis gives rise to a new myth, which instantly acquires new details, assumptions and details. Another thing is the complete lack of facts that can answer the question: whether Atlantis existed in reality or not. This meager research material remains the preserve of science fiction writers and atlantologists. Skeptics believe that the history of Atlantis is an artificially created phenomenon in modern historical science.

The problem of Atlantis must be considered in two aspects: from the point of view of the historical epic, and using a scientific approach. In the first case, you have to deal with evidence and materials, the existence of which is never disputed by anyone. The palm in this area belongs to the works of Plato. The ancient Greek philosopher mentioned the powerful state of antiquity in the dialogues “Critias” and “Timaeus”, which were compiled on the basis of the diaries of another prominent ancient Greek scientist philosopher Solon, who was Plato’s great-grandfather. With the light hand of Plato, the name of the ancient state appeared, and its inhabitants began to be called Atlanteans.

In his notes and books, the ancient philosopher relied on the legend according to which the ancient Greeks fought with the state of the Atlanteans. The confrontation was ended by a grandiose cataclysm that led to the destruction of Atlantis. According to the ancients, it was this catastrophe that led to the island city of Atlantis disappearing from the face of the planet forever. What planetary scale catastrophe led to such consequences is still unknown and unproven. Another question is that in the scientific community there is currently a point of view that 12 thousand years BC. The world really suffered a major catastrophe that changed the geography of the planet.

Plato's dialogue “Timaeus” quite accurately indicates the location of the country of the Atlanteans, and is full of descriptions of the details of the culture and life of the Atlanteans. Thanks to the efforts of the ancient Greek philosopher, the disappeared civilization is being persistently searched for in the Atlantic Ocean. Just one phrase, “opposite the Pillars of Hercules,” recorded by Plato, indicates the location of the legendary country. There is no more precise data on the location of the mysterious ancient state, so many researchers on this topic believe that Atlantis could have been located in any other part of the ancient world.

The inconsistency of many facts set out in Plato’s works raised a number of questions for subsequent generations. The main secrets of Atlantis are as follows:

Is there a high probability of the existence of an island of such a large size, traces of which are almost completely absent today;
what catastrophe that occurred in ancient times could have led to the instant death of a large state;
could a civilization exist in such ancient times with such a high level of development, which is attributed to the Atlanteans by ancient and modern researchers;
why today there are no real traces from the past indicating the existence of Atlantis;
Are we descendants of the highly developed Atlantean culture?

Ancient India. Religion

The civilization of ancient India was an amazing source of religious innovation and innovation.
The Aryan belief system revolved around a pantheon of gods and goddesses. It also included the concept of the “cycle of life” - the reincarnation of the soul from one being (including both animals and people) to another. Later, the idea of the material world as an illusion became widespread. Such ideas were emphasized in the new teachings of Jainism and Buddhism, which also had their origins in ancient India.

Jainism was founded by Mahavira ("great hero", lived c. 540-468 BC). He emphasized an aspect already present in early Hinduism - love and tolerance for all living things. He also promoted renunciation of worldly desires and an ascetic lifestyle.

Buddhism became one of the dominant religions. It was founded by former prince Siddhartha Gautama, who was nicknamed Buddha (the enlightened one). He came to the conviction that extreme asceticism was not a fruitful basis for spiritual life. However, like the Jains, he believed that liberation from worldly desires is the path to salvation. In everyday life, Buddhists emphasized the importance of this aspect.

Buddhism and Jainism flourished during the Mauryan Empire. Some scholars believe that it was during this period, especially under Ashoka, that Buddhism became the main religion in Ancient India.

The list of “Ancient Cities of the World” is much broader than the “Ancient” list, because many civilizations belong to the 2nd millennium BC. The locations of human settlements that emerged during these centuries extend beyond the Middle East. In Europe, these are primarily cities. In this territory, the list of “Permanently populated cities of the ancient world” is headed by Athens. Notes about this city-state also begin with the words that these places were inhabited back in the Neolithic era. But Athens is described in detail, starting from the Late Helladic period, that is, from 1700-1200 BC. The golden age for this powerful polis began in the middle of the 1st millennium, during the reign of Pericles. Legendary monuments known throughout the world were built during this period, which was quite well studied and described by the ancient Greek classics. Historical evidence such as the works of Bacchelides, Hyperides, Menander and Herodes written on papyri has survived to this day. The works of later, world-famous Greek authors formed the basis of the popular “Myths and Legends” by N. Kuhn. Ancient Greek philosophy, science, and culture are the foundation of modern knowledge.

Civilizations of the Ancient World table.

The most ancient civilizations of the world, their differences from primitiveness. Brief description of the civilizations of the Ancient East. Features of ancient civilizations.

According to researchers, the era of civilizations occupies a very small part of the entire history of mankind compared to primitive society. Factors that influenced the emergence of civilizations: the initial one - the natural environment, determines the mechanisms of human interaction with the natural world around him. Economic factor: For the emergence and development of civilization, it must be based on certain economic activities. The natural environment, man as a productive force and the level of technology development developed by him are factors that allow civilization to arise and increase its economic potential. A powerful impetus for the emergence of civilizations was the Neolithic revolution (agriculture, cattle breeding, new stone processing techniques that appeared in the Neolithic era, the transition to settled life, etc.). Sometimes people went through the Neolithic stage, but due to a number of historical circumstances they did not create a local civilization. For example, the crops of the Fertile Crescent Region (Jericho, Murcia) - due to the onset of drought. In another case, the Neolithic revolution was a necessary condition for the emergence of civilization: Mesopotamian, Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Indian, Ancient Chinese, and others. It happened that if a culture experienced the Neolithic later than others, it did not create its own civilization, but was forcefully incorporated into an already existing one. . Spiritual prerequisites are very important - a person’s awareness of certain values. Occurs in the process of specific subject labor activity, when objects are evaluated within the limits of everyday needs. Consolidation of religious, moral, legal, economic and political orientations. The core of the C. is the intellectual elite, which forms a system of higher values and mentality. In the conditions of a certain natural environment, a type of economic activity and a social structure are formed, and a set of values is fixed. This is how civilization takes shape. Primitiveness is characterized by: the great importance of the biological factor in human life, uniform stereotypes of behavior (customs, rituals, taboos), syncretic (connecting all elements of existence) consciousness, a person’s practical attitude to reality, a tribal community based on authority (elder, leader). For civilization: the predominance of the social factor over the biological, individualization of lifestyle, social class division, the emergence of written laws, the division of mental and physical labor, myth, heroic epic, art, neighboring community, city, state, the power of economic coercion.

O Solomon! Solomon! You Greeks are like children, you know nothing about ancient times. You know nothing about the hoary knowledge of the past Egyptian priests

Good day, friends. What do you think: did gods live on Earth? By gods I mean representatives of ancient highly developed civilizations. Those who had deep knowledge of mechanics, mathematics, physics, astronomy and so on.

Personally, I don't know what to think. They say and show a lot of different things, and, naturally, they put forward frankly crazy theories. But the topic is still interesting and I want to talk about it.

Traces of ancient highly developed civilizations

Science believes that the first civilizations arose around the 3rd millennium BC. e. However, there are many mysterious places and artifacts on Earth that can argue with this. For example:

Skulls with diamond fillings dating back to 10,000 BC. e. Modern dentistry cannot do this.

Walls of ancient buildings with earthquake-resistant masonry. For example in Italy and Latin America. The stone slabs of these walls are fitted to each other with such precision and density that you cannot even put a needle between them. The secret of the masonry has not been solved, and the walls date back to 10,000 BC. e.

Pyramids in Giza, Baalbek, Tiawanaku, Chavin de Huantar and others.

Lines of the Nazca Plateau. It is clear “how” and unclear “why”.

Easter Island.

Strange Egyptian hieroglyphs and similar drawings (ancient people painted helicopters, submarines, airplanes, astronauts, and so on).

A huge number of legends and myths (looking at them from a certain angle, you can rethink a lot).

The Lost Atlantis.

And many many others.

Who are Osiris, Viracocha and Quetzalcoatl? Perhaps these are not fictional characters, but... people who once lived? Or maybe aliens? If there was a highly developed civilization in ancient times, where is it now? Why do we know so little?

* In general, of course, the theory is bursting at the seams, because there should be much more traces of an ancient civilization, and the question of its disappearance is imminent. Well, really, what happened? A catastrophe or did the “gods” simply fly off to another planet? The husband said that not a single intelligent creature that has settled on Earth will leave it - a planet with the richest natural resources.

I don’t know, to be honest, questions can be asked endlessly, and traces of ancient highly developed civilizations are found everywhere. But specifically in this article we will look at some strange archaeological finds in our area.

Aleksinsky stones

In 1999, as a result of reconnaissance archaeological excavations, the northernmost site of an ancient man in Eastern Europe was discovered near the village of Salomasovo in the Aleksinsky district of the Tula region. It was dated to the Paleolithic period

* Paleolithic is the Old Stone Age, in figures approximately 10,000 BC. e.

Aleksinsky local historian Sergei Zverev collected silicon tools and examples of ancient man's creativity. There is nothing surprising about them, what is strange is the images printed on the samples.

The pictures on them can be divided into several groups according to their content:

objects;

signs and symbols;

living things;

structures;

cosmic symbolism;

cryptographic writings.

After a long study of the samples by various specialists, Zverev made bold conclusions - once upon a time, more than just intelligent people lived on our planet. And people with amazing knowledge received from representatives of extraterrestrial civilization. And these images are nothing more than intergalactic messages.

Similar finds were discovered not only in Russia. Similar samples were found in Germany (by the way, not far from Bremen), Denmark, Scandinavia, and so on.

Samples from the Salomasov collection

Images were applied to samples from the Salomasov collection using squeezing and chipping, primer and paint, and even by gluing several fragments (confirmed by radiography). Some of the drawings on them are somewhat reminiscent of the orbs and plasmoids captured in the photo.

On top of that, silicon samples have a positive effect on the aura and general condition of a person. There are rumors that there are cases of healing with the help of Alexin stones:

A woman cured breast cancer by applying one of these stones to the sore spot;
A man rose to his feet after breaking his spine, several days after holding the stone in his hands.

A distinctive feature of all such finds is that the “flaws” of the stone (chips, cracks, depressions, etc.) were included in their overall artistic composition. Traces of processing were visible only in some places.

Considering all this, a reasonable question arises: could these be all the creations of nature? Who knows. But still, one should take into account the fact that all samples were discovered at Paleolithic sites. And all the “sculptures” are made from the same silicon as the tools of ancient man, and in a single way - by correcting the natural flaws of the stone.

I don’t believe in “flying saucers” and alien abductions, but I can fully admit the existence of an advanced civilization in ancient times, traces of which we see here and there.

On this nevertheless optimistic note, I will say goodbye to you, dear readers.

P.S. For those interested in such things: there is a book by Graham Hancock “Traces of the Gods”. In it, the author promotes the theme of the existence of a highly developed civilization in ancient times. I haven't read it myself, but maybe you'll be interested.

P. P. S. And remember: there is science, and there is pseudoscience. The same things can be interpreted differently. And you shouldn’t believe everything that they tell and show you (in addition to illiterate people, there are also a lot of scammers around). =)

The history of our planet to this day remains full of mysteries and secrets. Archaeologists, historians and researchers from all over the world are collecting bit by bit knowledge about the past millennia, but this still does not bring humanity any closer to confirming some theories.

Our planet has repeatedly witnessed the rise and fall of powerful empires and civilizations. Some of them left behind a bright trace, while the existence of others has not yet been proven at all.

Which ancient states really existed and which did not?

1 Maya

The power of the greatest Mayan civilization can be observed in Mexico, on whose territory there are the abandoned cities of Chichen Itza, Palenque and others. It originated approximately 2 thousand years BC and died out even before the arrival of the conquistadors. To this day, historians debate why civilization abandoned its developed cities around the 9th-10th century AD.

The Mayan Empire had well-developed writing, architecture, astronomical and mathematical systems. They established efficient methods of agriculture and water supply and created a unique calendar. Most of the secrets of the Mayans remained undiscovered, and the cities they abandoned are still under excavation.

2 Lemuria

@theeventchronicle.com

If the Mayans really existed on our Earth, then the existence of the continent of Lemuria has not been proven. The Mu civilization is called the progenitor of people, a race of super-developed primates, which in the evolutionary branch stand between monkeys and people. So where could he be? Proponents of this theory believe that the remnant of an ancient sunken continent is the island of Madagascar, where lemurs live.

Mention of Lemuria can be found in esoteric literature and Indian mythology, which pointed to the existence of sunken cities in the Indian Ocean. About 10 thousand years ago, an entire continent there was submerged due to a natural disaster.

3 Atlantis

The mythical state of Atlantis has haunted humanity for many centuries. Adventurers, historians and underwater archaeologists are unsuccessfully searching at the bottom of the ocean for the remains of an ancient and powerful civilization, the knowledge of which was superior to modern ones.

Mentions of Atlantis can be found in the works of ancient philosophers, in particular Plato. In two dialogues, he wrote about a once prosperous island that sank under water after the war with Athens around 9.5 thousand BC. e. He told the story of the fall of civilization due to pride and greed. However, so far it has not been possible to discover a place even approximately similar to Atlantis.

4 Sumerians and Babylon

The Sumerian civilization is currently considered the oldest on earth, and its existence has been precisely proven. The first settlements appeared around 5500 BC. e., then the first writing appeared there.

The Sumerian-Akkadian civilization flourished for several millennia, until they were replaced by another powerful state - Babylonia. Both civilizations played an important role in the development of the ancient world and in particular Mesopotamia, which was the oldest state in the Middle East.

"If you want to know the future,
discover the ancient past"

I have been studying ancient history for over 40 years. At first it was just a passion for historical fiction, then I became interested in scientific articles and began to research the topic of the origin of all the ancient peoples of the world. This passion gradually grew into a strong desire to learn in detail the history of the origin of all the peoples of the world. Moreover, this topic has not yet been considered by official historical science. I had the idea to create my own historical atlas of the peoples of the world with chronological maps and explanations located in it.

Since 1972, I began to systematically collect all information on this topic. I bought all the literature in bookstores that contained some information on this topic. I was lucky that I often went on business trips throughout the country (I worked as a supplier, head of supply for a very large enterprise). I systematized all the collected information and wrote it down in my special notebooks. I subscribed to many scientific and popular science magazines (which also contained the necessary information for me).

Around 1996, I made my first attempt to create my own historical atlas of the peoples of the world, but this attempt ended in failure. I realized that modern historical science does not have sufficient information on this topic (or does not want to admit it). And only from some researchers of ancient history did I learn that our ancient history is much older than academics from history tell us. Ancient history begins not from 40 thousand years BC and not from 100 thousand years BC, but much earlier - from about 500-600 million years BC, and possibly 1 billion years ago. This is evidenced by numerous artifacts (archaeological finds that official historical science does not recognize). In addition, I realized that the most ancient monuments of ancient history are myths, legends and ancient religious teachings (which are not subject to destruction, rotting and damage, since they are passed on from one generation to another orally). There is no doubt that all ancient myths and legends over time greatly distort the essence of ancient events, but if you learn to correctly understand myths and legends, then a lot of useful material can be extracted from them for understanding ancient history.

The more I began to study ancient history through myths, legends and religious literature, the faster I began to develop a coherent (chronological) theory about the emergence of all the ancient peoples of the world. By mid-2004, my historical atlas of peoples, tribes and cultures was largely complete. In time it begins from 17 million years ago. This is the time of the existence of the first human civilization on Earth - the civilization of the Asuras (Lemurians), who lived on the large continent of Lemuria (this continent was located on the site of the modern Indian Ocean and included the modern island of Magadascar, Australia, New Zealand, the islands of Indonesia and Oceania, including the island Easter).

Later, the Atlantean civilization existed on Earth, whose descendants later created our human civilization, which is recognized by official historical science (Sumer, Egypt). All civilizations that existed before Sumer and Egypt are not recognized by modern historians. The more I studied the most ancient human civilizations, the more I realized that our civilization is developing in a dead-end direction, a direction that completely does not correspond to what the creators of the first civilization on Earth taught the first people. Where is our civilization moving, where are we going?

Development of civilizations on Earth

According to the prevailing scientific theory of the development of civilizations, it is believed that human civilization is constantly developing along the path of progress (evolution), that is, every day the level of development of human knowledge increases (the level of development of science and technology is constantly increasing). And outwardly it looks exactly like this, but some researchers of the development of civilizations believe that human civilizations are developing in the opposite direction (along the path of degradation and regression).

Let's look at the simplest examples. The Roman Empire, with its relatively developed science and technology, perished under the onslaught of wilder tribes of barbarians (Germans). And this happened because the Romans were carried away by the exploitation of slaves. In the empire, the oligarchs lived better and richer, and the slaves worked worse and worse because they were treated like things, and this is immoral, since slaves are also people. Therefore, the civilization of the Romans was morally backward (compared to the first centuries of Republican Rome). As a result, the economy of Rome deteriorated, and accordingly, the military power of the Roman army quickly fell. The Roman Empire became easy prey for the Germanic tribes.

The same development can be seen in the example of other empires - Sumerian, Akkadian, Egyptian, Achaemenid, Byzantine, Mongolian, Ottoman, British and Russian. But these are not the main examples on this issue.

Let's consider the development of the most ancient civilizations on Earth (which official historical science does not recognize).

300-200 million years ago - the development (formation) of the asura civilization begins. This civilization developed under the leadership and direct participation of the suras (gods - the Sons of the Sun). The Asuras reached such heights in their development that all subsequent civilizations on Earth could not achieve.
19 million years ago - the civilization of the asuras reached great heights. They built cities on the territory of modern Magadascar. It seems that nothing could slow down the development of this civilization.

4 million years ago - some representatives of the leadership of the asuras therefore began to consider themselves equal (in knowledge) to their divine teachers - the suras. They even decided that they themselves could create new peoples (and civilizations) on Earth. For this reason, the Sons of the Sun (suras) left the Earth, and the Asur civilization began to develop independently. The attempts of the Asuras to create a new human race on Earth ended with the appearance of many species of monkeys on Earth, including the Asuras who created monkeys similar to humans (Pithecanthropus, Neanderthals). But in the end, a new man was not created by them. Already at this time, two groups appeared among the asuras. Some believed that the development of civilization was not going along the right path. These asuras began to develop in their own direction (in the direction of spiritual and scientific development). It was this small group of asuras that continued their development along the right path (the path of spiritual improvement) and subsequently reached the cosmic level. They were able to create spaceships that began to fly to the Moon and Mars (their settlements and bases were created there, which still exist today). This group of asuras created a highly developed cosmic civilization that still exists today.

There are settlements of these asuras on Earth (deep under the earth’s surface, on the Moon and Mars. This civilization does not come into contact with modern human civilization, and only observes its development. And the bulk of the asrs began to develop independently (spiritually and mentally degrade). In At the same time, the Western group of asuras (Atlanteans) created a new civilization, which began to develop separately from the asuras. Contacts were established with this new civilization by the Sons of the Sun, who directed the development of this civilization.

1 million years BC - The Atlantean (Toltec) civilization reached the peak of its power. The Atlanteans subjugated almost all the peoples of the Earth. The bulk of the asuras by this time had already lost most of their knowledge and turned into ordinary primitive tribes of people living in our time (these are the aborigines of Australia, the Papuans, the Veddoids of Ceylon, the Bushmen and the Hottentots).

700 thousand years ago - the Atlantean civilization entered the disastrous path of its development. The leaders of this civilization began to be carried away by wealth and luxury, and the institution of slavery was invented. Many Atlanteans became interested in black magic. I will call this group of Atlanteans “black Atlanteans.” The civilization of the Black Atlanteans began to develop along the path of regression (spiritually degrade). But some of the Atlanteans (white Atlanteans) continued to live according to the precepts of the Sons of the Sun, and began to live and develop separately from the bulk of the Atlanteans (led by black Atlanteans). They first lived in the mountains of Ethiopia and significantly influenced the emergence of the Akkadian people. Later they settled in South America (Tijuanaco). It was from the territory of South America that the first spaceships of the white Atlanteans flew into space. This civilization has become cosmic. They, too, subsequently created their bases on the Moon. At the same time, they maintained their secret (from people) settlements on Earth (at the bottom of the oceans). People cannot access these settlements.

9500 BC - the death of the last island of the Black Atlantean civilization on the island of Poseidonis. The development of our human civilization (the degraded, feral descendants of the Atlanteans and Asuras) begins. New centers of civilization emerge (Jericho, the city-states of Sumer, the nomes of Egypt). At the head of the new centers of civilization are the remaining descendants of the Atlanteans and the descendants of the Hyperboreans (northern Atlanteans). Our civilization is developing in an even worse way than the civilization of the black Atlanteans. Knowledge in human civilization is increasing, technology is becoming more advanced, but spiritually our civilization is not developing. Many prophets (Krishna, Zoroaster, Buddha, Moses, Christ, Muhammad) tried to guide the development of humanity along the path of spiritual development, but in the end only new religions appeared, which were quickly subordinated to the ruling circles and states developed in the same direction (with spiritual degradation) .

All the emerging empires (Akkadian, Assyrian, Achaemenid, Ashoka, Macedonian, Roman, Byzantine, Mongolian, Ottoman, British and Russian) died for one reason - spiritual degradation. All empires were dominated by one god - the god of profit and power. For this reason, our civilization, like the civilization of the black Atlanteans, is doomed to destruction. States develop for only one purpose - to destroy (or subjugate) other states for their own enrichment. Now there is an era of domination by the United States, which, for the sake of its enrichment, is ready to destroy any other states and peoples. The destruction of other people by some people for the sake of enrichment is a continuation of the principles of the black Atlanteans. Our civilization is moving to a dead end.

True, there is one theory, based on the revelations of John the Theologian, that out of the entire population of humanity of 10 billion people, the Almighty will choose only 144 thousand people (the righteous) who still retain true faith in the Almighty (in the Supreme Mind, not in money), and living according to the covenants of the Almighty. These people will be moved to a new planet, similar to planet Earth, and a new attempt to create a new human civilization will begin there. And the planet Earth itself and all its inhabitants will be destroyed (but perhaps the people themselves will destroy themselves and the planet Earth).

Why do I (and many other researchers) believe that our civilization is rapidly degrading (going wild), especially in its spiritual development? Let's remember at least the basic commandments of the Almighty, transmitted to humanity through his prophets (messengers, mentors) and written down in all world religions.

1. Don't kill. All people of all religions know this will of the Almighty. But who is now fulfilling this covenant? No one. Even European countries (which consider themselves the most humane civilizations) send their troops (planes, ships) to destroy innocent people in other countries (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc.) to please their economic interests and their main ally - USA.

2. Don't steal. Few people keep this covenant either. Everyone steals, and those in power steal especially a lot and steal most often from their own people. Just to fill your pockets with money, buy castles, yachts, planes, pleasures. This ideology has reached ordinary people, they steal everything that is poorly guarded (that is poorly stored). Corruption began to permeate all ruling circles of all countries of the world.

3. Respect your elders and relatives. This commandment is also rarely observed. Old people, disabled people, war veterans are killed for money, for apartments. And again, people are driven to do this by the desire for money. Mothers throw their newborn babies into trash cans. Only this factor globally indicates that humanity is degrading.

4. Don’t bear false witness (don’t lie). Who keeps this covenant? Not many people who. To all of us, even during elections, all sorts of candidates for president, deputy, and governor promise many benefits, promise to fulfill all the orders of the population, but after they are elected, all promises are forgotten. We are always promised a good life, but in reality life improves only for those who have achieved power. We are promised equality, but in reality the punishing sword of the law is used only against ordinary people. Ruling officials and the rich always do not comply with the laws and pay off everything. Corruption is rampant all over the world (and especially strong in Russia).

5. Don't commit adultery. This covenant is also not kept, especially by those who have a lot of money and power. And I will not write in detail about this covenant (the order of the Almighty).

6. Do not covet your neighbor’s house (property) and wife. I also don’t want to describe this covenant in detail. Children even kill their parents for the sake of owning their property (apartment, money, business).

7. Do not take the name of the Almighty in vain. Currently, there are many religions in the world, many names for gods. But in fact, one faith began to dominate - faith in money (in beautiful pieces of paper) and power for the sake of money. And no one is bothered by the question of how this money was acquired (by righteous or criminal means). The main thing was that whoever has a lot of money has power; for that, execution of laws is not necessary. Even to church, many people go only for show, and even during prayers (fake ones) they think about ways of new unrighteous profit.

8. Don't make yourself an idol. In our country, idols are made by force - with the help of television and the press. And then they throw mud at these same idols and blame all their sins on them. If Stalin was an idol, he became a tyrant; if Gorbachev was an idol of perestroika, he became hated by most of the population. Now they are trying to make Putin an idol (and this is working, we have a very trusting people). But how much did he do for the people? Have we begun to live better than the citizens of Portugal (he promised this). No. Have our roads become better since 2000? No. There are more oligarchs and officials (bureaucracy). And there was less order.

10. There should be no other gods except the Most High. But there are a lot of gods now. But the main god became one - MONEY.

In our country and throughout the world, drunkenness, parasitism, and drug addiction are flourishing. And after all, ruling circles everywhere are not really trying to fight this (they only say beautiful words on television). The state cannot even provide money for the treatment of children. On television and in the press you can read cries for help for the treatment of children. But the government tries not to notice this. We are making a big propaganda noise about the opening of a new hospital, but at the same time they are silent about the closure of 20 other hospitals. They are talking about strengthening the fight against fires and at the same time they are seducing firefighters in cities and villages. We (the authorities) are talking about strengthening the protection of nature (forests, rivers, lakes) and at the same time reducing the number of foresters. Our science (and the science of the whole world) is developing only to obtain additional profit for oligarchs and officials, as well as to strengthen its military power (to destroy other people, other states). We can name many more signs of the degradation of our human civilization (it is impossible to list all the signs).

Many may ask themselves why this article is needed. What to do if the entire civilization dies anyway? Everyone needs to think about themselves - are we each living correctly? If a person himself lives according to the precepts of the Almighty, perhaps he will raise his children to be the same and they will have a chance to become one of those who. You don’t have to believe everything that is told to you on TV, try to look for the truth yourself. Whoever looks for it will definitely find it (of course it’s difficult, but it’s worth it).
