On held recently in the capital of Ireland, Dublin archaeological Congress re-emerged lively debate around the so-called "skull Mac-Carmike".

When in 1824 neighbor Mac-Carmike by which the scientific world learned about this discovery, started digging the Foundation for a new house, then stumbled upon an ancient burial. Grave, judging by being on the late amulets, belonged to the priest. Body tissue long ago decayed, but on the face remained something of a plaster mask, unfortunately, scattered in the dust when it is touched. But McCormick well remember and immediately drew an extremely strange man's face, nose which have been started between the eyes, and from the middle of the forehead, forming on the skull characteristic bone cushion! One of his drawings preserved skull and found in the burial items McCormick handed over to the local archaeological Museum.

And almost a century later, in 1912, in many Newspapers appeared a sensational message with a link to the grandson of the famous archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann - Paul. His grandfather, as you know, unearthed Troy, the grandson of the same "excavated" the will of the father, in which he reported that allegedly attacked traces of Atlantis. According to his grandson, the grandfather of archeological excavations in Troy found a bronze vessel with an inscription in the Phoenician language: "From the king of Atlantis Chronos", and during excavations in Egypt - some papyrus with information about Atlantis. Among other Egyptian finds grandfather appeared, and "mask Atlanta", made with carefully selected pieces of amber! Instead mask Paul Schliemann was presented to journalists of her black and white photography, hinting at the mysterious safe hidden finds grandfather. Then came the First world war, and the sensation was not held, as Paul Schliemann mysteriously disappeared.

Mask from Palenque

Specialists-archaeologists then voted unanimously: amber mask - 's fake because amber is found only at the coast of the Baltic sea and in smaller quantities in Alaska, but not in Egypt. However, soon amber jewellery were found in the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs of the fifth dynasty, and in 1954 Mexican archaeologist Alberto Loiler also found amber in the grave of a noble priest of the Maya people! Many pieces of amber was made mask on the face of the deceased. At the same time from the archives extracted and presented Paul Schliemann photo masks. Along the way remembered modest Irish teacher poppy-Carmike. His picture and mask Schliemann belonged to the representatives of one and the same unknown human race, whose nose had started in the middle of the forehead! From figure Mac-Carmike and pictures of Schliemann followed that the people of this race have European type of face, typical Spanish or French, differing only by the shape of the nose. The size of the discovered skeleton "priest" has determined the growth of its owner, which significantly exceeded the growth medium of Irish.

After the Second world war archaeological excavations on the territory of Central and South America continued. There were excavated Mayan city of Tikal, Copan, Palenque. And again he found the traces of the "red-breasted": in Palenque dug up the famous jade mask and statues of warriors and priests with the same characteristic noses! And curiously, the mask and the image of "long-nosed" belonged mainly to persons of high status - chiefs and priests. The same characteristic nose was the most respected people of Mayan gods: the Sun God and the God of Corn.

The skull was found Mak-CARICOM, and disposal in Palenque is divided over two millennia. According to the archeologists, the skull at least three thousand, while the time of culture Palenque corresponds III-VIII centuries A.D. However, the Maya and other Indian tribes kept the legend of high blue-eyed and fair-haired people, who have come to them on the courts of the country of Tollan or Aztlan.

Now let's get a grasp of the text of the "Testament" of Heinrich Schliemann, which is referred to by his grandson: "In St. Petersburg, in the Museum, I found the old scroll of papyrus from the reign of Pharaoh Senta of the second dynasty from 4571 BC. This papyrus contains a description of the expedition of Pharaoh to the West in search of traces of the country Atlantis, where 3350 years ago profit ancestors of the Egyptians. The expedition returned after six years, not finding traces of the legendary country. In another papyrus from the same Museum, owned by Peru Egyptian historian Manetho, it is clarified that the history of Egypt began to 16 000 years ago. I discovered at the Lions ' gate in Mykonos the inscription reads that misor, from which came the Egyptians, was the son of the Egyptian God Thoth - the son of the priest from Atlantis! Having fallen in love with the daughter of the king of Chronos, he fled from Atlantis and after long journeys arrived in Egypt. Exactly That built the first temple in the SAIs and gave people the knowledge obtained in their home country".

Interested in this message, the Polish atenolol Ludwik Zaydler addressed in the early 1960s with the corresponding request to the Hermitage, which houses the largest in the country collection of Egyptian papyri, but got discouraging answer: papyri referenced by Heinrich Schliemann, in the Hermitage there have never been! Then Zaydler wrote his colleague, the Soviet atlantaga NF Jirovu, the author only in the USSR serious monographs on Atlantis. Fats, responding to the request of the Polish colleagues, have addressed a request to the famous Egyptologist, employee of the Hermitage, Professor I.M. Lurie. The answer was the same: the Hermitage does not have these papyri! Moreover, Pharaoh Saint of the second dynasty of historians is not known as well as unknown scholar of ancient Egyptian historian Manetho!

However, in the world famous book K. Kerama "Gods, graves, and scholars" to list the Egyptian rulers, in which the number of governors of the second dynasty mentioned Pharaoh named sandy, or Set-carried. As you can see, the difference is only in writing, and on the works of Manetho cite numerous foreign atlantaga and Egyptologists.

You can, of course, to announce falsifications, the letter a will of Heinrich Schliemann, written by his grandson, whom many consider to be a scammer. Soviet writer Gleb Golubev in his book "Unsolved mysteries" even argued that no grandson of Heinrich Schliemann was not, and on behalf of these mystifications were engaged in some American journalist (actually Paul Schliemann - face very real, and he is the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann).

Interestingly, the "St. Petersburg papyrus containing the information about Atlantis, reference and other foreign atlantaga, in particular American Ignatius of donelli that issued the classical monograph about Atlantis in 1882 (translated recently in our country). There are native evidence, such as the famous poet and writer VA Bryusov, which in the revolutionary years was very interested in the secrets of Atlantis, and his brother - known Russian archaeologist, doctor of historical Sciences YA Bryusov. Alexander introduced Valery with translations of Egyptian papyri of the Hermitage, which contains information about the legendary continent. That is, before the revolution mysterious papyri were there, and then disappeared!

But in early 1917, after the February revolution, the Hermitage, as we know, settled in the Provisional government, rather pushed the exhibits. Following the revolution of October - causing even more damage. As bitterly joked the father of the present Director of the Hermitage, academician B.B. Piotrovsky, "two of the revolution equivalent to one fire". And there was also the Great Patriotic war, when the treasures of the Hermitage urgently packaged and exported. It is possible that after these shocks and disappeared mentioned papyri.

But let's not throw another stone in our historical treasure. Before the revolution, in St.Petersburg, there were also private collection of papyri, in particular Golenishchev, Likhachev, Turaeva, Tsereteli, which Schliemann and other atlantaga could see. We hope that such an important historical documents do not completely lost.
