We certainly have a lot to discuss regarding this mysterious stone in China called “The Hidden character Stone”

This incredible stone was discovered thanks to a crack that formed in a megalith 500 years ago revealing Chinese characters that read: The Chinese Communist Party Collapses (Zhong Guo Gong Chan Dang Wang). The problem is the age of the rock which according to researchers dates back 270 million years (source).

It is an astonishing discovery of a stone that displays curious patterns on its surface, according to researchers these patterns have been identified as Simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese charters that read: Communist Party of China perish or The Chinese Communist Party Collapses ”
It is one of the main attractions in the Qiannan Pingtang National Geological park. The mystery is its age; dating back at least 270 millions of years to the Permian period. (source)

The stone was discovered in the cleaning process of the Duyun International Photography exposition, and the area has remained isolated and untouched by humans for an incredible period of time. The stone is found in a narrow gap between two cliffs.

Scientists have rushed to the area since 2003 when the first scientific inspection group arrived to study the stone. Scientists that gathered at the mysterious site were from several notable institutions such as the Chinese academy of Sciences, Chinese University of Geosciences and Chinese academy of Sciences.
Researchers were shocked when they found out that the stone was about 270 million years old, form the Permian period and according to scientists like Li Ting-dong, Liu Bao-jun and Li Feng-lin there is no trace of the characters being made by human beings. According to these scientists this is a unique stone and there is nothing like it. The characters that appear to be written on the stone are one square foot.

Some of the mysteries that involve this strange stone is that the characters read from left to right, something that was not practiced at that time and scientists consider that since there is an inclusion of a Simplified character before the CPC. Skeptics have attributed the mysterious formation to the nearby village, saying that it was manufactured to boost the tourism of the area. Yet researchers claim that the inscription dates back hundreds of millions of years given the fact that the geological formation of the region is of that age.

The vice-editor of the People’s Daily, Liang Heng wrote, While on cliffs people may often discover that white clouds may appear to look like dogs, or something looks like a person or a beast, a picture or a chart, however, all such things are restricted by the appearance of the picture.

If today a megalith suddenly can write, speak, carve, develop writing technique, or use political terminology, how are people able to believe that? Do they even dare to believe that? However, facing these two pieces of the split hidden words stone, we have no alternative but to believe.

Researchers were able to determine that “the hidden words stone” actually fell from a mountain cliff near the Zhangbu river valley.
One can easily make out the corresponding dent from where the rock mush have fallen.

So how is it possible that a crack reveals an inscription like this, when researchers place the age of the stone at over 250 millions of years?

The 20 million year old wolfsegg Iron, an artificially made artifact 20 million years ago?

People most commonly refer to it as the Woflsegg iron or Salzburg Cube, and it is a small piece of iron that was found within a block of coal in the town of Wolfsegg Austria.

Why s it interesting ? Well there are numerous things around this object that have given it a mysterious “aura”. First of all the origin of this strange artifact is a mystery. According to many who have seen and analyzed it, it is an artifact that unarguably proves the existence oh ancient civilizations in prehistoric times whose technological developments exceeded the modern human race.

A report that appeared in the scientific journal Nature (Volume 35, 11, November 1886, page 36) describes the object as being “almost a cube”, “with a deep incision”. The object is 67 mm high, 67 mm wide and 47 mm at the thickest part. It weighs 785 g. Some have argues that this artifact is most likely a meteorite but given its specific shape and dimensions it is a theory that has had numerous challenges, the biggest being its peculiar form. Interestingly, the Wolfsegg Iron was examined in 1966 at the Naturhistorisches Museum. The final opinion Doctor Kurat from the Museum and Geological committee at Bundesanstalt in Vienna is that the object is simply an artificial cast iron. The problem is it was found buried inside a 20 million year old coal seam.

Ufologists believe that his object did not originate in space, as it was believed earlier, they suggest that this artifact, is proof that millions of years ago, civilizations existed on earth that had extremely advanced technology, and they point to numerous other artifacts found across the globe, suggesting that a pattern exists among all of them.

It remains as one of the most famous anachronistic objects since its discovery in 1885, when a worker was breaking coal from Wolfsegg, discovering a iron-cube-shaped somewhat deformed object.

According to accounts, the edges of this strange object were once perfectly straight and defined, our sides were flat, while the remaining two sides, facing each other, were convex an towards the upper part of the artifact, there was a rather deep groove. The shape of the object, which is currently in a municipal museum near the foundry where it was found, does not look anything like a cube: its unique flat surface is the result of cuts made to analyze it chemically.

The test gave interesting results, showing that the metal object does not contain nickel, chromium or cobalt and according to scholars, proving that it cannot be a meteorite as previously believed. It look as if it was actually artificially produced. People who have looked at the object claim it couldn’t have originated in nature, but those are mixed opinions. Certainly this item seems to lack the characteristics of a meteorite according to those who have analyzed it, like Doctor Kurat from the Museum and Geological committee at Bundesanstalt in Vienna.

The true origin and purpose of the wolfsegg Iron will serve as a topic of discussion among researchers and ufologists. The object will certainly remain as a very interesting and mysterious artifact, whatever the different views and opinions are.

It’s a perfect piece of metal and it was discovered in 1912 in a mine in Wilburton, Oklahoma, its discoverer was Frank J. Kennard and according to him, it was found within a block of coal. But what makes this cup so mysterious? Well, as many other objects found across the world, the age of the artifact has caused debate.

Kennard, who was in 1948 a Benton Co worker, said: “While I was working in the Municipal Electric Plant in Thomas, Oklahoma in 1912, I came upon a solid chunk of coal which was too large to use. I broke it with a sledge hammer. This iron pot fell from the centre leaving the impression mould of the pot in the piece of coal. Jim Stall (an employee of the company) witnessed the breaking of the coal, and saw the pot fall out. I traced the source of the coal, and found that it came from the Wilburton, Oklahoma, Mines.”

The coal that originated from the mines of Wilburton, Oklahoma, is estimated to be around 300 million years old. This is where the story ignites and goes cold according to some.

Regrettably, the only evidence comes from the testimony of a person and that does not have much scientific rigor according to skeptics, besides, this object vanished like many others who had a similar story, and similar age and apparently shared the same faith. If the object was found today, it would provide much more insight into the discovery, the origin of the item, who created it and what was the purpose, but most importantly it would shed light on its true age.

There is the theory regarding how an object like that might have ended up inside the coal, as the mines are filled with puddles of saturated water, eventually the water hardens and the object might have ended up inside the piece of coal. As noted by Mark Isaac: “The cup appears to be cast iron, and cast iron technology began in the eighteenth century. Its design is much like pots used to hold molten metals and may have been used by a tinsmith, tinker, or person casting bullets.”

The usual problems are seen in the discovery of this item, anecdotal evidence is basically the only thing we have, yet that does not explain how the artifact ended up embedded in the coal which is around 300 million years old. So as skeptics would say, no matter how certain Frank Kennard might have been at the time of his discovery, skeptics will provide dozens of alternative explanations regarding the item and how it ended up inside the coal. Not only for this item, but for many other items with similar age.

Of course, this might as well be a joke, but if it were a joke, wouldn’t it be already proven to be just that, a joke? Ancient alien theorist have a high regard when it comes to items like this, they are both mysterious, and challenge the typical views of history and archaeology. It seems that every time one of these items pops up, they are seen by archaeology and mainstream history as potential “enemies” since their true origin and age might challenge the conventional way, researchers look at history and civilization.

It is an artifact that few have heard of, maybe because its convenient for you to be unfamiliar with such items. The Dorchester pot is a small bell-shaped vase with a small opening at its top. The measurements of the pot are about 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) high, 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) in diameter at the base and 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) in diameter at the top. The small vase is made entirely of zinc and was decorated with silver inlay, you can see six floral ornaments on its side and a kind of vine or crown on the bottom. The decorative work and perfect manufacturing of Dorchester vase denote its creator was a master craftsman in the molding of this metal.

This incredible pot was excavated in two pieces after an explosion was used to break up rock at Meeting House Hill, in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1852.

The age of the pot is the number one discussion among experts as it appears that no one can agree on how old it exactly is. According to geologists, the Roxbury Conglomerate, where this mysterious pot originated from, has been dated as having accumulated between 570 and 593 million years ago during the Ediacaran Period. Does this make it between 570 and 600 million years old? According to several researchers it is a possibility. In principle, it is not too clear if the pot was really “embedded” within the rock since the explosion was the cause of its discovery.

According to many ancient alien theorists the Dorchester Pot is evidence supporting the theory of the “presence of artistic metal workers in North America over 600 million years ago. These claims would place the Dorchester pot as being one of the members of million year old artifacts discovered worldwide. Other researchers believe that the Dorchester Pot had been manufactured by an ancient civilization that predated the Noachian Flood.

It is very interesting that several botanists believe that the plant species that appear on the Dorchester pot disappeared from our Planet thousands of years ago. According to some, it is believed that the Dorchester pot was dated as being at least 100,000 years old, but the pot and all of the documentation that accompanied it, for previous studies have disappeared mysteriously.

The first and almost unique historical background to the Dorchester pot is dated June 5th 1852, from the publication of the magazine Scientific American. The mysterious pot is also discussed on page 46 of the 1985 Reader’s Digest Association book called Mysteries of the Unexplained.

It is difficult to try to explain the real origin of the Dorchester Pot since the artifact went missing without a trace. Whether this artifact belongs to a million year old civilization, or if it actually does depict plant species that disappeared from Earth thousands of years ago is a mystery, that will not be resolved unless the mysterious object is returned from its hiding place.
