Tiahuanaco

As in Mu and Atlantis, construction in South America reached a megalithic scale when building earthquake-resistant structures.

Residential buildings and public buildings were built from ordinary stones, but using a unique polygonal technology. These buildings are still standing. Cuzco, the ancient capital of Peru, which was probably built before the Incas, is still a fairly populated city, even after thousands of years. Most of the buildings located in the business part of the city of Cuzco are now United by walls that are many hundreds of years old (while younger buildings built by the Spaniards are being destroyed).

A few hundred kilometers South of Cuzco lie the fantastic ruins of Puma Punka, high in the Altiplano of Bolivia. Puma Punka is not far from the famous Tiahuanaco, a massive magalithic site where 100-ton blocks are scattered everywhere by an unknown force.

This happened when the South American continent was suddenly subject to a great cataclysm, probably caused by the shifting of the poles. The former sea ridge can now be seen at an altitude of 3900 m in the Andes mountains. A possible confirmation of this is the plethora of oceanic fossils around lake Titicaca.

The old believers were looking for the Belovodskaya "promised land".

This "neutral land" between the Russian and Chinese empires was incorporated into Russia in 1791. It was then, according to Chistov, that the legend of Belovodye arose, but the most interesting reports are about the Central Asian routes of seekers of Belovodye

It is also known that the city was equipped with a complex system of dams, canals and reservoirs, which allowed the inhabitants of this desert region not to need water. There is no written record of this culture, and we know almost nothing about it. However, due to its geographical location, it was a thriving civilization, they created a whole system of exchange of spices, silk, precious metals and stones, ivory, incense, perfumes, sugar and medicines. Unlike other civilizations of the time, the Nabataeans were not aware of slavery and each resident contributed to the development of the city. In the 4th century BC, the Nabataeans left Petra, and still no one knows why. Archaeological research shows that their departure was not hasty. indicates that they did not flee from the invaders.

Mayan civilization!

Period: 2600 BC — 1520 ad.

Location: Central America

The Mayan civilization is a classic example of a mysteriously disappeared civilization. Its great monuments, its cities and roads have been swallowed up in the jungles of Central America, and its population has dispersed to small villages. The languages and traditions of the Mayan people are still preserved, but the peak of this civilization occurred in the first Millennium ad, when their greatest architectural monuments were built. It is one of the largest Mesoamerican extinct civilizations. The Mayans had their own written language, used mathematics, developed a calendar, and were excellent engineers, which allowed them to build their pyramids and hanging gardens. The reason for the disappearance of this highly developed civilization is one of the main archaeological discussions. It is assumed that internecine strife, combined with climate change in Yucatan around 900, reduced harvests and created famine, which led to the fact that residents began to leave the city.

New information about a vanished civilization!

Period: 3300-1300 BC

Location: Pakistan

This huge extinct civilization was located in the Indus river valley on the territory of what is now Pakistan and the Western part of India. This is an important ancient civilization. But there is very little reliable information about these people, partly because the language has not yet been deciphered. It is known that they built at least a hundred cities and villages, including such large ones as Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. Each city had its own sewers and indoor facilities. It seems that this civilization did not have a class division and did without an army, they achieved success in astronomy and agriculture. This is the first civilization where the production of cotton clothing began. The Harappan civilization disappeared 4,500 years ago, and it was not known that it existed at all until its remains were discovered in the 1920s. Several theories attempt to explain its disappearance, such as changes in their environment, the drying up of the Ghaggar Hakra river, significant cooling and lack of rain. An alternative theory suggests that the region was invaded by the Aryans around 1500 BC, which led to the decline of the Harappan or Indic civilization.

Well, here's the first post!

Period: 13,000 years BC

Location: North America

We don't know much about the Clovis culture. Scientists believe that this prehistoric native American culture existed in North America. Its name comes from the site of an archaeological dig that was conducted near the city of Clovis, in new Mexico. Artifacts found at these excavations in the 1920s are mostly stone blades and bones. It is believed that these people came to Alaska in the last ice age from Siberia through the Bering Strait. It is not known whether this was the first culture in North America or whether there were even earlier ones. The Clovis culture disappeared quite quickly.Is it because they are too keen on hunting and have destroyed their own food source, or is it because of climate change, disease, or predators?The answers are still unknown.
