The word opars (ooparts) he/she comes from the initials in English of a sentence that he/she comes to mean that. Opposing objects where they should not be, where it is impossible that they are. But they are. (ooparts = out-of-place artifact)
First I will speak of, or I will mention, some of these annoying objects. There is more, some so well-known ones as the machine of Antiquitera. Then a small story will come by way of speculation on its origin and other dreams…
* Some are exposed in museums. Most not, they raise powder in their warehouses. As a wooden toy, at least it could be that that anyone that sees it without doubting would say that it is an airplane. Only it is an object of the old Egypt, conserved, in the warehouse of the museum of the Cairo.
* The famous pile of Baghdad, conserved until the war of Iraq in the museum of this city, is a small electric generator formed by a recipient of mud and a metallic bar. Their surprising use discovered it a curious scientist, intrigued by the form and characteristic of that secular object.
* The map of Piri Laughs, belonging to a Turkish marine of the XV century, previous to the discovery of America and very previous to the moment in that finally the first map, reliable, of the continent was traced. And it is that this map reflects the South American coast but also part of the Antártida! (and this last one containing icy it was later discovered centuries. It is conserved, I not eat, in the warehouse of the museum Topkapi of Istanbul.
And other two, in this brief sample that has the peculiarity of having been examined scientifically in an exhaustive way:
* The glass skulls. Since there is several, but mainly one highlights of them to be bigger and to be articulate their jaw. I refer to the old ones, clearing is. Later on some have been carved more but those are no longer opars.
The authentic ones come from the Mayan and Aztec cultures and they have generally been in ruins of this cultures. The biggest before mentioned it is called “Skull of the Destination” and it is carved in pure glass of quartz, with the prisms of the base and the refined lenses of the eyes shining intensely. The skull, perfectly refined, has a high grade of purity (7 on 10 in the scale of Mohs). This means that only with the foundry of the mineral and with a mold, the one carved with other stones of more hardness (for example the diamond) or a laser one can obtain a similar result. And the Mayan didn't have that technological capacity.
He/she discovered it in 1924 the English browser, of similar personality to the character from Indiana Jones, Mitchell Hedges in the Mayan ruins of Lubaantum, in Belize. It was after removing some stones that covered an altar. For more astonishment the descendants of the family gave the skull to the laboratories Hewlett Packard in 1970, and there they discovered that it was carved against the natural axis of the glass. This would not even be made at the present time because it would cause the break of the quartz, it would be not even possible using technology laser.
You has speculated on their construction technique, but the only one “possible” it would be the one of having been carving it during whole lives with friction with sand, thing that had taken about 200 years.
The experts of the British Museum dates it on the 1300 d. C., but the natives that accompanied its discoverer affirmed that he/she had more than 3600 years of antiquity.
To this skull they were added fabulous data at once. For example and in the personnel's of maintenance of the museum testimonies, to their surroundings alone objects would move and it sometimes removes strange and perfumed scents. The case is that they were it afraid and they got that at nights it was covered with a cloth.
An indigenous legend exists regarding her. There would be 13 skulls and when all were rediscovered and related, they would transmit the humans all their knowledge. But this would not happen until the humans had reached an enough moral integrity…
* And the hammer of Texas.
It was discovered fossilized in 1934, near the Texan town of London. It was incrusted in the rock. The wood of the fossilized mango and the iron head fused with the rock. This meant that the hammer was previous to the rock!.
During a lot of time the hammer raised powder in a small local museum, until finally to somebody he/she was happened to investigate it and to make a detailed analysis. The petrified wooden mango means that they have had to pass 140 million years at least for that process. When the first homínidos didn't arise until ago 7 million years and to make tools was he/she only makes two millions. As for the iron head it is of an almost total purity, something that can only be achieved with outposts technical metalúrgicas. The same as the fact, overdraft thanks to rays x, that during their production he/she had become purified and hardened. But the rock in which was fused continued having 140 million years!. AND this last fact implies, also that the object in question was subjected to an atmospheric pressure different from the current one. Another thing that it remits to remote times.
* The human prints are also. Prints of shoes in strata of ago two or three million years, as those that were in Nevada in 1882, or another print in the desert of Gobi by the middle of the XIX one, in a stratum dated in about 200 million antiquity.
Is the history of the Earth such and do I eat they have counted it to us?. Who and when did he/she live in her?. Memories of the future?, other humanities, or travelers of the time?... What would it be of us under adverse and radical circumstances?. A piece of video tape?. for sure the archaeologists of the future would classify it like cult object, since would come from a “civilization” that only left to the desert as only rake of its existence.
