In January 2019, a set of enigmatic artifacts were discovered off the coast of Florida, USA. The antiquity of these objects was unmistakable, yet their origin remained a mystery. A team of scientists was able to acquire a total of seven items, all of which were composed of copper, gold, silver, and iridium – a rare material that is scarcely found on our planet.
It is well-known that iridium is commonly found in meteorites that have fallen to Earth. It is believed that the ancient people noticed this “heavenly sign” and set out to acquire this highly prized material to craft objects of religious significance.
Further analyses of the artifacts revealed that they date back to at least 10,000-12,000 years ago. Given the fact that iridium is an incredibly durable and difficult material to work with, it is highly likely that these ancient civilizations possessed an advanced level of metallurgical expertise.
The objects were most likely created by these skilled ancient artisans, who possessed extraordinary knowledge and skill in areas that remain unexplored by modern humanity. Their abilities were clearly demonstrated by the exquisite craftsmanship evident in these ancient artifacts.
One of the most intriguing artifacts discovered was the mask of the deity Viracocha, which is incredibly thin at only 1.7mm. This delicate piece is adorned with intricate designs depicting religious symbols and a great deity.
Prior to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, the Inca civilization thrived. From 1200 to 1500 AD, the Incas were renowned for their exceptional skills in working with metals such as gold, silver, and other low-melting metals. The high temperatures required to melt iridium, however, were beyond their capabilities, as their metallurgical furnaces could only reach temperatures slightly above 1300 degrees.
Despite the clear depiction of the god Viracocha on the artifact, the Inca civilization is considered to be relatively young in comparison to the age of these artifacts, which are estimated to be between 10,000-12,000 years old. This raises perplexing questions about how the Incas could have crafted such advanced pieces so long ago.
Some researchers believe that mainstream historians may deliberately conceal or have little knowledge about the true culture of the ancient Incas. The destruction of the great history of indigenous peoples by colonizers is a well-known fact, and it raises the possibility that important aspects of history may have been lost or intentionally erased.
Fortunately, artifacts like these provide valuable clues that can help uncover the forgotten or suppressed truth. We must remain vigilant in our pursuit of knowledge and understanding of our shared human history.
