Ancient map of Mars from the Library of Alexandria
Alexandria, as the name implies, founded in 332-331. BC. by Alexander the Great. After him, during the Ptolemaic dynasty, it became the capital of Egypt and the largest port on the Mediterranean. The Library of Alexandria was founded at the beginning of the 3rd century. BC.
According to various sources, it contained from 100 thousand to a million manuscripts. Despite the fires and barbarism of fanatics, the library existed for over a thousand years! But in the VII century. AD here came the Arabs who completed its destruction.
For a long time, historians believed that the priceless treasury of ancient knowledge was irretrievably lost, but gradually, in different countries of Europe and Asia, historical documents began to appear, obviously once belonging to the library. Its curators, people very educated at that time, could not help but see the threat to the treasury from religious fanatics and took measures to save the manuscripts.
Secretly from the rulers of the guardian caste, with the help of numerous scribes, they made copies of the most important historical documents, and sent the originals in small batches to other countries. According to some reports, some of the manuscripts even settled in the monastic libraries of Tibet.
Echmiadzin, the seat of the head of the Armenian church, became one of the centers for storing ancient manuscripts. Gradually, Matenadaran, a storage center for ancient scrolls, was formed in Armenia. On December 17, 1920, after the establishment of Soviet power in Armenia, Matenadaran was declared a national treasure. In 1939, the authorities moved the storage facility to Yerevan, and in 1960, it was placed in a specially built building.
In 1939, among the persons appointed responsible for transporting manuscripts to Yerevan from the Catholics’ residence was Viktor Harutyunyan, a young historian from Moscow, who was actually an employee of the NKVD. Victor’s diary, which he kept at that time, tells about further events.
In particular, it says that during a cursory examination of the scrolls, in one of them, Harutyunyan was amazed to find a map … of the surface of Mars! Moreover, a circle was drawn around Mars with a circle depicted on it, undoubtedly indicating the satellite of the planet!
Stunned by the discovery, Victor acted like a boy: he carefully removed the card and hid it in his bosom, hoping to show it to his school teacher and then return it to its place. Unfortunately, the only map sheet provided very little information. The text was in Latin and appears to have been a late translation of an ancient Egyptian text. The most important thing was missing in it – who made the map and when?
Although optical lenses were already known in ancient Egypt, even Galileo could not see the satellites of Mars through his telescope. This could not be done in the 19th century and at the Pulkovo Observatory, the largest in Europe. It took the latest 26-inch telescope of the US Naval Observatory to find them in 1877. But there was only one satellite on the map found by Victor!
Unfortunately, this incredible story was left without a continuation. Victor forwarded the map to the Armenian Academy of Sciences indicating where it was taken from. Then the war, he went to the front, where he disappeared without a trace. After the war, no information about the amazing map and about the manuscript from which it was taken was published. Most likely, it remains in the Matenadaran archive.
Indirect evidence of the existence of the unique document is that the Explanatory Dictionary of the famous Georgian scientist and writer Saba Orbeliani (1658-1725) contains a mention of the satellite of Mars and even indicates the radius of its orbit – 24,019 km (modern meaning 25 459 km).
It is possible that Orbeliani visited Echmiadzin cathedral and got this information from an ancient manuscript kept there. In any case, it is worth looking for it, although it is a rather difficult task: at the time of its move to the new building, the Matenadaran’s funds contained about a thousand ancient manuscripts, 1,850 fragments, 2,000 pages from various books and about 200,000 documents on the history of the countries of the East. it seems though, that the secret of the map of Mars is worth the most painstaking and laborious efforts.

A “mysterious explosion” in Sasovo in 1991 from the newly declassified CIA documents on UFO reports
Recently, 700 classified CIA documents were published simultaneously, which describe cases of observation of strange objects in the sky only observation (!). In them, among other things, they write about a strange case with a UFO in Russia that seems to be related to the explosion in Beirut a few months ago, and they allegedly said that the explosion was caused by large amounts of ammonia nitrate, ie fertilizers stored in port while nowhere in history has such an explosion been allegedly caused by fertilizers.
Black Vault site owner John Greenwald Jr. He said it took a lot of effort to persuade the CIA to declassify the UFO documents by sending thousands of requests to the agency under the Freedom of Information Act.
1/ In this CIA #UFO document, the Assistant Deputy Director for Science & Technology (A/DDS&T) was shown SOMETHING related to a UFO that was hand carried to him. He decided he would personally look into it, and after, he gave advice on moving forward. That advice is classified. pic.twitter.com/PyVEr3zCny

A case in Russia mentioned in these documents is related to the mysterious explosion in Sasovo, Russia in 1991. The strange explosion occurred in this city at night, shaking even large buildings.
The small town of Sasovo is located about 300 kilometers southeast of Moscow. At 1.34 a.m. on April 12, 1991, half a mile from the southwestern outskirts of the city, a huge explosion was heard. Many government buildings and private homes were blown up by the shockwave, windows were shattered and fragments were thrown as far as thirty kilometers away, reaching the town of Chuykovo.
At the site of the explosion, a huge crater was created with a diameter of about 28 meters and a depth of 3 to 4 meters. In the middle of the crater there was a large bulge of soil 3.5 meters in diameter. Huge chunks of icy soil were scattered around the crater up to two hundred meters away.
The magnitude of the explosion was so strong that the frozen pieces were thrown to a huge height in the air, and fell and were nailed deep into the ground. According to experts who carefully examined the incident, they pointed out that 25 tons of explosives would be needed to create this effect.
Military experts, such as Colonel Prodan and fire chief Matveyev, with extensive experience in similar incidents, said that in their view, the explosion in Sasovo was unusual. They used it as an argument for this view, that there was a total absence of chemicals that are always found after an ordinary explosion. Also the earthen lump in the middle of the crater is not something that is found in such cases. Even the way the shockwave propagated did not match a “standard” explosion.
The newspaper Komsomolskaia Pravda, proceeded to cite some testimonies about the incident but without commenting and drawing conclusions. From the testimonies it emerged:
- Immediately after the explosion, a sound was heard like that of a fighter plane flying away from the area, but without noticing it.
- An eyewitness said two explosions were actually heard, followed by a flash of light, followed by the sound of a jet fighter. And he claimed that he did not see any aircraft.
- Another witness said that just above the power lines, 100 meters from the crater, a bluish, arc-like glow was visible.
The Russian government attributed the explosion to a large amount of ammonia nitrate in a report, military experts categorically ruled out this version.
The official version spoke of an accidental explosion of ammonium nitrate fertilizers, but many people insisted that before the explosion, they saw a strange “moving fireball” in the sky and were sure it was a UFO.
It’s a similar story to the explosion in Beirut: The FBI did not officially determine the cause – It is estimated that it was caused by an accident .. Two US government sources, who have learned about the official report and analysis of the circumstances of the explosion, said that the US services are also very convinced that the explosion caused by large quantities of ammonium nitrate, which was stored in a port building for years, was due to an accident.
Another incident of declassified records is a story that took place in January 1985, when the crew of a passenger plane en route from Rostov to Tallinn saw a strange object in the sky. The pilot who first spotted him at the beginning looked like an unusual star.
But suddenly a thin ray of light came out of this “star” and fell perpendicular to the ground, the ray of light splitting in two. All four people in the cockpit watched in surprise as two cones of light from the object fell on a white spot in the sky. While one pilot was wondering if he would report what they see in the control tower, at the risk of being considered insane. Suddenly, the white spot turned into a huge green cloud and then the pilot was forced to deviate from the course of the plane, because this object began to approach the plane at high speed at an angle.
After that, the crew contacted the air traffic controller at the nearest airport, it was Minsk Airport, and told them that they did not see anything unusual on their radars. However, the green cloud, meanwhile, began to follow the plane, “as if it were attached to it.” From inside the cloud, small lights shone, “like the lights of a Christmas tree.”
The green cloud flew around the plane and one pilot shouted “Look, he’s imitating us!” as the “cloud” took the shape of a wingless plane. The cloud began to shine with yellow and green light. When the passengers of the plane were worried, the pilot told them that it was North Sela. It is reported that this cloud was seen by a pilot of another Tu-134 plane that flew in the same area,
In November 1955, one of the passengers on a train suddenly announced that he had seen a UFO in the sky. When he told the other passengers the lights went out and then they could see a “shadow” on the horizon in the sky. The shape of the object was not clear in the dark sky, but it looked like a half balloon with a small canopy at the top.
The object was slowly rising vertically from the ground. At the top of its dome, a bright white light could be seen, and a pinkish-white glow along the perimeter of the “sphere”. The object was “like a small plane” in size and was about 3 km from the train. Suddenly, the passengers saw that the UFO stopped going up and suddenly moved in their direction, flying at high speed over the train and disappeared.

The mystery of the Nazca geoglyphs: they can be a spaceship landing pad or a water delivery complex
The Nazca Lines are mysterious blueprints and signs that are found in the desert in southern Peru. They are about two thousand years old. Symbols in the form of signs, some of which resemble animal figures, have no analogues in the world. Scientists have been trying for years to figure out what meanings they have. It looks like a key has been found to the secret.
For many years, researchers have adhered to two versions. The Nazca Lines can represent either an alien spacecraft landing pad or a complex system of irrigation canals. Both versions one and the second have their advantages, but there was more evidence in favor of the irrigation system.
They were first discovered in 1940 by UFO hunters. From a bird’s eye view, the beauty of complex and simple patterns is mesmerizing. They traverse the barren desert south of Lima.
Ufologists believe that these geoglyphs serve as a kind of reference point for aliens. Archaeologists claim that the lines were created by the pre-Columbian civilization but their exact purpose is not clear. A group of engineers led by Carlos Hermida from Spain came to the conclusion that there is nothing mysterious about the lines. The Nazca Lines are nothing more than a complex system of irrigation canals.
Hermida believes that the mystery of the drawings was solved with the help of numerous convincing evidence. These lines, in his opinion, were created using a pre-Inca technique known as water harvesting.
The satellites have created a mosaic of nearly 4,000 photographs that can be used for detailed analysis of geoglyphs. The mosaic has 75 rows and 50 columns of images. In total, it covers an area of about 2500 square kilometers in the desert. Engineers are confident that this complex system served for irrigation – water through canals filled dry areas to the desired moisture level.

There are many mysteries in the Sahara Desert but scientific and archaeological expeditions are prohibited
Throughout the history of this African desert, tens of thousands of people have gone missing in its vicinity, and this is only according to official data. The sand is much more destructive than the ill-fated Bermuda Triangle. This is understandable, five thousand kilometers covered with sand.
Scientists know for certain that millions of years ago there were rivers, lakes, flowering gardens and, most likely, even the ocean in the desert, since numerous whale fossils were found in the sands.
The ruins of cities, underground canals, through which water once flowed, were discovered. In one of the Sahara caves, ancient drawings and hieroglyphs were found, depicting humanoid creatures, around which there was greenery and water. There are a lot of mountains in the desert, where people have never been.
Perhaps the most mysterious place in the Sahara is rocky terrain with melted earth and traces of radiation. At this place, according to scientists, an explosion of incredible power thundered. There is a theory that all this is due to the fall of a meteorite.
This is confirmed by the chemical elements that scientists find in glass and iron. These elements are of unearthly origin, and most likely came to us with a meteorite. Moreover, the crater itself is hidden somewhere under the sands, and has not yet been found.
If you look at the desert from space, then the first thing that can be seen is the rings, called the eyes of the Sahara, with a diameter of more than fifty kilometers. There are rocky rocks near the rings that are not found anywhere else on Earth. The stones themselves are most likely solidified lava.
But all these secrets and riddles are not studied in detail, since archaeological and scientific expeditions are officially prohibited on the territory of the Sahara, due to safety. On the territory of the desert, armed conflicts constantly occur, which are a great risk for scientists. This is what official sources say.
The desert can be easily studied from space, by analogy with, for example, Mars, where in the infrared range, with the help of orbiting satellites and telescopes, you can recognize artifacts, as well as make new discoveries. Unfortunately, this does not happen.
The Sahara Desert, along with the oceans of the Earth, remains the least studied.
