The ancient and modern history of civilizations hides many secrets.

For thousands of years, the existence of mankind has left scientists with a lot of questions and riddles that amaze the mind and often remain unsolved. However, there are ancient secrets that turned out to be tough on 21st century experts.

This book includes historical investigations, stories about disappeared civilizations, military secrets, ingenious inventions, catastrophes, love stories, amazing turns of history, sensations, discoveries, versions and facts. We will go on a journey through the lost worlds and try to illuminate the darkest pages of human culture.

Temples of the god Cronos

Nothing governs life, our whole life, as time. People in prehistoric times were able to count days, months and years with great precision. At first, they stared into the sky with the naked eye, watching the sun, moon and stars.

Later - laid astronomical principles in the basis of their stone circles, pyramids or temples. Until recently, archaeologists did not believe that the ancients were capable of such, considering these structures rather abstract. The secrets of ancient monuments in Europe, Asia and America, which not only served religious and religious purposes, but also played the role of calendars, are revealed by astroarcheology, which is armed with the most modern computers.

Cosmological symbols are hidden in the forms of ancient sacral structures of Buddhism.

The constructions erected by the civilizations of the ancient Indians were sanctuaries of the harmony of the Cosmos. The Mayans and Aztecs created an unusually accurate calendar, serving also astronomical goals.

Most of the most significant monuments of early and ancient history throughout the world were calendar buildings, the purpose of which was to consolidate time in spatial forms. These bizarre buildings of the peoples of Central and South America were built on the basis of solid astronomical knowledge.

Time is one of the greatest secrets in the world and the key to many secrets. Many modern physicists, and along with them, mystics believe that time as such does not exist. What we call time is only an apparent sequence of motions in space. Therefore, time is actually impossible to measure.

What we observe in the so-called time dimension is nothing but changes in space. And the hour hand also shows us only its own movement. As far as the concept of time itself is concerned and how closely it is connected with the properties of space, it was brilliantly proved mathematically by Albert Einstein as early as 1905. First of all, he refused the generally accepted idea of space, replacing it with the concept of space curvature. The concept of spaces with non-linear coordinates leads, of course, to the complete destruction of the concept of time. That is why, according to the laws of the theory of relativity, different clocks will move at different speeds if they themselves are in motion. This scientific discovery entails a number of problems associated with the Cosmos, and then the question of the beginning of all things, that is, of Creation.

However, Einsteins revolutionary ideas seemed only to natural scientists, who since the Renaissance and, in any case, the Enlightenment, have become accustomed to living in a deceptively reliable world, where everything has a purely mechanical explanation. The theory of relativity has not revealed anything new to the mystics. Whatever cultural circles they belong to, for them the space-time continuum has always been a manifestation of the divine principle. The keys to this understanding were the starry sky and the annual cycles of nature. Linking one to the other, the mystics were closer to penetrating into the main secret of the Creation, which goes far beyond the mechanistic-astronomical picture of the world.

The main secret of Creation

It was not by chance that in all ancient, and partly in some modern cultures, the calendar was given a pronounced religious significance. And again, it is not by chance that many religious and religious buildings, for their part, served calendar purposes or were specially built for this. Modern Christian churches are also built so that the altar is facing east. And the east is not just the side of the world. The sun rises there. No wonder we are today talking about countries "lying to sunrise", or about the Land of the Rising Sun in the Far East. Time and space are combined even in language: our grandparents also called the South a midday.

Complement the calendar clock. The first counts the periods of the annual cycle, the hours determine the time of day. Naturally, they are closely related. This was known to the ancient Romans. The length of one hour they changed every day. In summer, daytime hours were shorter than nighttime, in winter, on the contrary: the Romans divided the periods between sunrise and sunset into 12 equal intervals. Although such an account seems to us unnecessarily difficult, people have used it for thousands of years.

A few decades ago, archaeologists did not believe that the people of antiquity were able to make such calculations. How could these "savages" have such knowledge in astronomy, which the people of the 20th century also do not have? Only when astronomers took up the study of ancient and ancient history did the ability of our ancestors to measure time and count the calendar was confirmed. Thus arose a new scientific discipline - astroarcheology. Her pioneers were Scottish scholars Alexander Tom or his Sardinian colleague Carlo Mashya. Now it is considered proven (although not all archaeologists of the old school recognize this) that most of the significant monuments of ancient and ancient eras in the world are somehow connected with calendars, that is, they fix time in spatial forms. The proof is taken here is not the opinion of the majority. Nowadays, computer calculations based on the principles of probability theory are usually done for this, which determine whether this structure, whether it be a stone circle, an abstract sculpture in the rocks, a pyramid or an ancient temple, was erected according to the laws of astronomy. or not.

Is An astronomical instrument or a monument?

Facilities really meet the most different. Some of the ancient buildings were obviously built as giant instruments for astronomical measurements of time. Most often it is the sundial, which marks the beginning of the most important periods of the year, and in some cases, the daytime hours. Others were not adapted for direct measurements. They served as a kind of monuments of accumulated knowledge of the harmonic rhythms of the Cosmos and of Creation as a whole. Sometimes they were arranged in such a way that the sunset or the rising of the Sun or any visible star on a certain day fell against the desired mark. Such structures were not used for research, but, on the contrary, they themselves assumed that the builders had accurate astronomical knowledge. However, they leave no doubt today about their purpose. It is more difficult to deal with the third category of such structures, the size and location of which in the locality is connected not with calendar periods, but with the cosmic symbolism of numbers adopted in this culture.
