Africa Is Splitting In Half And Something Extraordinary Is About To Happen

In elementary science, we have gathered a lot of knowledge about the continents and their history, how the continents as we know them only sometimes exist the way they are today and the role that continental drift played in this. However, what if we told you another historical geological event might be upon our planet? A new Ocean is being formed in Africa as we speak. Where and how is this happening?

The Massive Stone Jars Left by Ancient Giants: Lao's Plain of Jars

Laos, a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, is home to one of the most bizarre historical spectacles archeologists have ever laid eyes on.

Spanning hundreds of square kilometers of rugged grassland is the Plain of Jars, so called because of the 3,000 massive, hollow stone vessels scattered across the land -- some weighing up to 30 tons and measuring up to ten feet in height.

The Plain incorporates numerous mountain ridges, forests, and fields north of the Lao capital, Vientiane. In addition to the local Laotian people, these lands are stalked by tigers and other hidden dangers.

The locals have long known about the Plain of Jars, but their relatively recent western discovery in the early 20th Century prompted archeologists to try and solve the puzzle of these mysterious stone vessels.

French archeologists were among the first westerners to study the jars. One named Henri Parmentier noted that, while most of the jars were empty, some still contained items such as ceramic pots, small weapons, and odd trinkets, including glass beads, bronze jewelry, and children’s teeth. It was also noted that several contained remnants of human bones.

Close inspection finds a few of the jars adorned with primitive carvings of human faces and figures. Laying amongst the monolithic jars are circular disks of stone, presumably lids, which, according to UNESCO, are "also sometimes carved with representations of humans, tigers or monkeys."

One of the enormous jars features an odd “frogman” carving, a possible reference to - or relative of - the frogman painting at Huashan, China, which contains some of the oldest known cave paintings.

Archeologists initially estimated the jars to be some 2,000 years old, which would make them products of the Iron Age. However, a recent study published in 2021 has revealed that they may in fact be more than 3,000 years old.

While their true origins and purpose have baffled many academics, historians and anthropologists, the locals have their own explanations.

5 Out of Place Objects Archeologists Can't Explain

The object seen here is alleged to be a watch, discovered in 2008 within an ancient Chinese tomb from the Ming dynasty era that had been sealed for some 400 years. It was first thought to be a ring, but was reported to be a tiny gold watch with the word “Swiss” written on the back.

The Ming Dynasty ended in 1644, and Switzerland was not to be founded for another 200 years. The tomb itself has been dated to 500 years before the founding of The Old Swiss Confederacy... So how did this watch manage to find its way inside this ancient mausoleum?

While it is difficult to assess the exact date the first watch was created, it is known that watch technology dates back to around 1520, with almost no existing archeological watches predating 1550. As for ring-style watches, Queen Elizabeth I supposedly wore one in 1558, but they were not common among European nobility until 1780. Ring watches were not popular or sought after in China at any point during the Ming Dynasty.

Details of the find remain sketchy, with inconclusive information as to whether the artifact was found within the sealed tomb, or lain on top of it. Theories for its origin range from time-travellers who dropped the anachronistic artifact to the possibility that tomb-raiders may have accidentally left it behind. While the second theory can’t be discredited, the area showed no signs of thievery or damage. Alternatively, some suspect an animal could have picked it up and dropped it at the site.

Some also believe the mystery could be linked to the Knights Templar who are thought to be guardians of magical artifacts. They are rumored to have been central to the foundation of Switzerland and its long tradition of secrecy and are thought to have been active around the world at the time.

The Apocalypse Stone of Göbekli Tepe: 5 Mysterious Ancient Messages

Deep inside the world’s oldest temple, Gobekli Tepe, is a pillar known as the Vulture Stone. The temple was erected around 11,500 years ago and can be found in modern-day Anatolia, Southern Turkey. It provides the earliest evidence for permanent human settlements in the world, and the Vulture Stone found within it may tell the story of a comet strike that shaped the course of human history.

The stone is decorated with a range of animal symbols, including a scorpion, an ibex, and many birds in various poses. At the bottom of the scene is an image of a headless man, while the top is bordered with large, repeating arches and squares.

There has been much speculation about what these symbols could mean. One theory suggests that the animals correspond to ancient constellations. The scorpion represents the constellation Scorpio, the duck-like drawing Libra, and the wolf symbol Lupus. The circular shape in the center would represent the Sun.

With all the symbols aligned, the stone represents the sky at the date and time when these constellations and the Sun were aligned.

After cross-checking this theory with computer simulations of the Solar System around that time, researchers proposed that the carvings could describe a comet impact that occurred around 10,950 BCE. In this case, the headless man could represent death and calamity which befell humans at the time, and the strange symbols at the top of the stone could represent comet fragments streaking across the sky.

Around that time, a mini-ice age known as Younger Dryas began that changed civilization forever and lasted around 1000 years. It is considered a critical event for humanity as some scientists believe that the emergence of agriculture and city-states resulted from the low temperatures of the Younger Dryas. This temporary climatic shift depleted hunter-gatherer food sources and forced ancient peoples to gather in settlements and cultivate crops to survive.

The fascinating tableau seems to have served as a means to commemorate the devastating event by the people of Gobekli Tepe and suggests that it wasn't just another neolithic temple but perhaps an ancient observatory used for monitoring the night sky. As of 2021, less than 5% of the site had been excavated, and the mysteries of Gobekli Tepe are likely to be revealed in the years to come.
