There is a large group of people in today's world who sincerely believe that the history we read about in books is not true. They claim that many historical events have been distorted, rewritten in their own way or erased altogether. Sometimes there are echoes of what is wanted to hide from humanity, for unknown reasons. It may be artifacts, the existence of which scientists are unable to explain. Or, in this case, a book by Mikhail Lomonosov, in which the scientist writes about the layers of the earth. It was written in the middle of the 17th century.
What is under the ground
This is what the work of the great scientist is about. And, believe me, the information is curious and will make even the most inveterate nihilist think.
This information will help to determine how many catastrophes there were and their periodicity, just as years and events are determined by the trunk of a tree.
Once, when excavating a well at a depth of about 4.5 m, the ruins of ancient structures were discovered. Then there was dense earth, never plowed. Beyond that was rich black earth, and there was no doubt that it had been used by humans, for tools were found in it - and that at a depth of about eight meters. Then a 3-meter thick layer of chalk, with the remains of marine animals in it. Then a small layer of black and light earth, in it fragments of ancient plants were found. And again a layer of chalk, then rotten rubble, and again chalk, followed by rotten rubble mixed with bones and small shells and sand. Behind them, a layer of chalk and gypsum.
This all in itself is already, at the very least, strange. And then there is another layer, with pointed pieces of silicon, bone, pieces of iron, charcoal, and objects made of marble. It's the lowest layer, which tells us that someone was definitely living on the planet at that time. And that someone left it all behind. However, history reports that there was no life, much less intelligent life, on the planet at that time.
The sea has changed more than once.
The layer of sand and chalk is the former sea, which once rose and then disappeared. The rotten rubbish is the shore of the receding sea. And then there was chalk, which is an accurate indication that the sea level had risen again. The alternations of chalk and rotten debris may be evidence of systematic tsunamis. Again, the nearly 70 m thick chalk layer is proof that the site was a seabed for an extremely long time. When it retreated, the ground was formed here again and, of course, it was a long process. Layers of earth and chalk constantly alternate, often unknown tools are found in the soil. And so many, many times.
There were very, very many civilizations.
What might this indicate? Often researchers find objects deep in the ground, the etymology of which they can't explain. Often there is evidence that the ancients were not primitive, and they were capable of technology that even modern people can not. All this may suggest that humans are not the first civilization to inhabit the planet. Another striking example is the sarcophagus with the Tisul princess, whose body was preserved in unchanged condition over the millennia.
What conclusions to draw - everyone decides for himself.
