Hundreds of years ago, mankind embarked on the path of technological development. With the help of technology, we have a new understanding of the world. With the help of science, humans have also solved many natural phenomena or mysterious events that were thought to be incomprehensible in the past.
As the so-called world is big, there are no wonders. Although we have used the power of science to understand many things in the world and solve many mysteries, the power of science is not omnipotent. Sometimes we still have difficulty in giving some mysterious events. Reasonable scientific explanation.
The earth is a 4.6 billion-year-old planet. It has been millions of years since the birth of mankind, and human civilization has existed for more than 5,000 years. Over a long period of time, many unknown and mysterious events have also been left on the earth. Among them, there are three mysterious events that scientists have not been able to decipher, and two of them are in China.
1. The Crystal Pool of the Maya
I believe many of my friends have heard of the Mayan civilization. It is a jungle civilization distributed in the countries of southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Belize. The Mayan civilization has a very long history, at least thousands of years ago. According to the development history of human civilization, the era of Mayan civilization should be the Neolithic Age.
We all know that the Neolithic Age was a time when mankind had just stepped into civilization. At that time, human civilization was naturally very backward, and the work used was basically some stone tools. According to historical records, the way of life of the Mayan civilization is also very primitive, not much different from other primitive civilizations.
But such a civilization with a very primitive way of life has knowledge beyond our imagination in many aspects. For example, he has extremely high achievements in astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, writing and so on. Especially the attainments in mathematics and astronomy are no less than modern science and technology, and even some cognition in astronomy has surpassed us.
Maya civilization is a primitive civilization in the Neolithic Age. Why does it have such completely unmatched technological knowledge? This may be a big mystery in the scientific community. It is precisely because the Mayan civilization is a very mysterious civilization that scientists attach great importance to the research and exploration of this civilization. For any event related to the Mayan civilization, scientists will actively explore and find the truth.
Although the Maya civilization disappeared later, they left a lot of relics. These relics have become important things for us to study and explore the Maya civilization. In addition to the pyramids and other relics that we all know, there are thousands of mysterious crystal pools in the dense jungle of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, which are also left by the Mayan civilization.
Through the research and exploration of thousands of crystal pools by scientists, it was determined that this was once a very important place for the Maya to live and live. At least one million Mayans lived here. The reason why these pools are named crystal pools is not because of the massive production of crystals, but because the water in these pools is so clear and transparent that it looks like crystals.
How are these crystal pools formed? Some scientists believe that this place may have been hit by meteorites, forming a large number of craters and gradually forming pools. In these puddles, scientists have discovered a lot of clay pots and other things used by the Maya, and a large number of new species have been discovered here.
The Mayans regarded this place as a holy place and believed that these crystal pools lead to the underground world. Of course, what is the truth? More exploratory research by scientists is needed. As long as we work hard, I believe that one day, we can uncover the mystery of these crystal pools. Through the secrets of these crystal pools, perhaps we can also learn more about Maya civilization.
2. The stone mortar in Daqingshan, Inner Mongolia
There is a mountain in Keshiketeng Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, named Daqingshan. These are very beautiful mountains. On the top of Daqing Mountain, there are hundreds of stone mortars like jars, which the locals call “Nine Cylinders and Eighteen Pots.”
These stone mortars are distributed in an area of about 1,000 square meters on the top of the mountain, and are of different sizes and shapes. They have a common feature, both have a small mouth and a big belly. The largest stone mortar is 10 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 3 meters deep. According to the research of geologists, the stone mortar in Daqingshan is the largest, largest type and best preserved stone mortar group in the world.
So how are these stone mortars formed? In this regard, people do not have a unified answer, but various speculations. Some people believe that these stone mortars are left by some mysterious force. Others believe that these stone mortars are the result of wind erosion. Some scientists believe that these stone mortars are formed under the action of glaciers.
Geologists have made field trips to Daqingshan stone mortars many times to find out why they formed. A currently highly recognized guess is that it was once covered by a layer of glaciers tens of thousands of years ago, with a thickness of several kilometers. Later, as the glaciers melted, combined with the geological formations here, the stone mortar group currently seen gradually formed. Of course, this statement is not the final answer, it is just a guess, and doubts have always existed.
3. Legend of the Sumatran Dwarf
I believe many of my friends have heard of the legends of giants and dwarves. Compared with the legend of the giant, there is no sufficient evidence, but the legend of the dwarf is more reliable. For hundreds of years, there have been legends related to dwarves in Sumatra in southern Southeast Asia.
According to legend, a group of furry bipeds once lived here in Sumatra, people called “Sumatran dwarfs”. The Sumatran Dwarf is not just a legend. Many witnesses once claimed to have seen the “Sumatran Dwarf”, describing them as very short, only about 90 cm tall.
Scientists found some skulls in this area through test stones. These skulls are very similar to human skulls, but the size difference is relatively large. Scientists believe that this may be the dwarf skull that was once born here. Later, through continuous research and exploration, scientists discovered that a small prehistoric human might have actually lived on an island in Indonesia.
Although the “Sumatran Dwarfs” once existed and received the support of many scientists, we still do not have enough evidence to prove that they did exist. As for what those witnesses claimed to have seen the “Sumatran Dwarf”, there is no real evidence. Unless one day, we can really photograph these dwarfs clearly.
The above three are the three mysteries in the world that have not been truly deciphered by scientists. In fact, these events are not too magical among the many mysterious events on the earth, and there are some mysterious events that make scientists even more troublesome and can’t find the direction of exploration and research. From this we can also see that although human beings are assisted by the power of science and technology, we are still far from truly understanding the world.
