Until the end of the XX century, it wouldn't occur to me that mythical Cyclops existed in reality. However sensational discovery in Texas (USA) shocked scientists around the world. The fact that paleontologists Victor Pacheco and Martin fried during a vacation in big Band-Country decided to combine the pleasant with the useful and examined one of the caves, where they found the remains of creatures growth of about 2.5 m and a weight of 300 kg, in the skull which in the middle of the forehead was only one eye-socket. The age of the bones - about 10 thousand years. Scientists managed through the bones to reproduce the appearance of the being. I must say, its image is fully consistent with the description of the mythical creature.

Authors findings than once regretful that curiosity brought them to that unfortunate cave - in fact the message on opening them at first perceived as a silly joke. Only after a thorough examination of the bones and skulls specialists admitted that they undoubtedly belonged to the Cyclops. But how will the creature from Greek mythology got in Texas? Well, either the Greeks before our era managed to visit America or Cyclops lived as the ocean, or in Europe. Remind: Homer is portrayed Cyclops (also called ciclope) cruel giants and pointed out that they live in caves, engaged in cattle breeding.

To American Cyclops heroes of Greek mythology to get to, of course, was far away, but the Rhodope mountains in neighboring Bulgaria they could visit without much hassle. If Cyclops was very real being, then why not to assume that the Minotaur - polubit-human - too used to tread this land?

Mysterious skull from Peru

And here is a new discovery, which gives grounds for such assumptions.

on may 21, 2001, in the Rhodope mountains was discovered mysterious skull that Bulgarian media soon dubbed the "mysterious skull. If you believe the author finds it he first dreamed... it Turns out That the Novel Geneva, an avid collector of meteorites, almost a month dreamed the same dream: it is sent on a business trip in the output he goes into the mountains and finds the skull strange creatures. All happened.

The skull is promptly investigated by scientists. The first thing they are using radiocarbon method has established its age and analyzed DNA. Apparently, the data obtained were so intriguing that they have been classified... But in the Internet age hide information about this discovery is very difficult, messages about it first appeared in the network, and then and in a number of printed publications.

Unfortunately, data on the age of the skull I have not found, but if to take into account that only discovered its front side, neatly cut someone in ancient times, mysterious creature clearly fell from the hands of man. Maybe an unknown hunter monster was Theseus - the legendary Athenian king, who won the Minotaur?

Clothe found Genevan skull flesh, imagine bloodshot eyes, and you'll have a pretty awful creature, resembling a hybrid of a man and a bull. However, the victory over that particular monster on the myth is not hard: assume that a creature was a small growth. However, it is possible that the skull belonged not adult. One should also consider the fact that we know nothing about the combat capabilities of the monster. Maybe it had the ability to telepathically to influence a person, spitting venom or operated under cover of darkness, attacking from ambush?

Bulgarian ufologists thought, referring to the DNA test that the skull is clearly belonged extraterrestrial creature. There was even hypothesized that he belongs to biorobot, who refueled human blood: that the skull has some semblance of a centrifuge, where there was the Department of plasma from the blood.

Of course, there are less shocking hypothesis, for example, some scholars believe that this is the skull of a prehistoric animal, not yet known to science.

In 1995 in South America archaeologists also found a strange skull unusual elongated, which is now kept in the Peruvian Museum Perkasa. Scientists assume, that to it not less than 10 thousand years. Many believe it is an incontrovertible proof of the visit of the Earth by aliens.

Some researchers tend to think that the reason this form of the skull is a genetic mutation, but the most popular hypothesis is that the extension is produced artificially. For some, perhaps religious reasons in the area of the planet ancient people practiced changing the shape of the skull, for which a newborn child was tight perebintovyvat head, achieving sometimes surprising results. Similar instances are found amongst the skulls of the Incas. So, most likely, no long head aliens to us not arrived.

But the so-called skull baby Taonga found in 1924 in the North West of South Africa, is shaped like a pumpkin. For many years it was thought that he belonged to an APE-like creature at the age of three. However, recently Whether Berger and Ron Clark from the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa suggested facilities skull is not earthly creature, and the humanoid, who died in the fall on the sharp stones.

It is worth mentioning the skull so-called star boy, discovered in Mexico in the 1920s, but only recently got into the hands of scientists. He evidently belonged to the child, but rather strange. For example, believe that it could be three frontal lobe of the brain, not two, as among ordinary people. Too big for the child and brain volume - 1600 cm3 (the adult average - 1400 cm3). The shape and location of the sockets also unusual.

If to speak about abnormal findings, we cannot fail to recall the famous crystal skulls. Found in South America and other parts of the world, they still represent for scientists insoluble riddle. For what purpose they were intended these unique products? As they were able to make?

In 1927 on the excavations of the ancient Mayan temple in British Honduras (now Belize) was found the most famous of them is called the skull Mitchell-hedges, or Skull Rock. The stories of Anna, the adopted daughter of the famous British archaeologist Mitchell-hedges, which found him, in the first days after a "dialogue" with his amazing discovery she began to experience the amazing vision.

She was transferred in the times of the ancient Maya, observed their life, rituals, saw the flowering of the city. Already in 1927, it was suggested that the skull in some incomprehensible way to store information about those times, when this masterpiece was created.

In the 60's. the XIX century in Mexico found the crystal skull stored since 1898 in the British Museum, which researchers believe a simplified copy of the skull Mitchell-hedges. In contrast to Skull Rock, which the lower jaw is done separately, it is monolithic.

Both skulls, according to experts, are female and by its parameters is almost comparable to these. Attempts were made to recreate the image of the mysterious ladies who served as models for creating these unique items. Although the reconstruction of the face to the skull was conducted in two different institutions, they gave similar portraits of Indian girls. Who she was? The young Queen disappeared in the depths of Atlantis or the daughter of the ruler of the Maya?

The main mystery of the crystal skulls is filigreed their execution. According to some experts, to make such masterpieces without the use of modern technologies is impossible. For example, a specialist from the well-known company "Hewlett-Packard", who examined the Skull Rock, stated that according to all laws of crystallography skull was split is still in the initial stage of processing raw material.

One of the scientists calculated that the production of this skull was required not less than 7 million hours. Of course, after such statements of experts, the idea arose that the skull was in the hands of aliens (apparently on our planet them there was nothing else to do).

I personally prefer the view that manufacturing crystal skulls involved in highly developed civilization on earth, killed in a global cataclysm. That it existed (maybe even more than one!), show the stones of ICA, pyramid, found in the Crimea, unique stone card, found in the Urals and many other artifacts.

Do not forget that the history of civilization on Earth knows many examples of different abnormal curiosities. For example, Robert Ripley, opened a worldwide network of museums, in 1930, photographed in Manchuria Chinese man with a horn on the top, and in the newspaper "Arguments and facts" in due time published the photo of my grandmother with horns, in Botswana there is a tribe of "people-ostrich", in which the legs just two fingers (syndrome claws).

Many members of the human race still skillfully disfigure themselves. Remember Burmese women, extending their necks with the help of rings. Finally, look at the Kunstkammer, where alcohol is not the aliens.

We still know very little about the history of our planet and life on it. Lately, I often come to the conclusion that on Earth there was a lot of what we talk myths, legends and fairy-tales. Giant Cyclops, gnomes, dragons (the surviving dinosaurs) - all they once lived on our planet, but were destroyed by man. Maybe in 10 thousand years found our descendants a cow skull too, you will find it very strange...
