One day in 1872, an American worker was walking by the lake in his spare time, and as he was walking aimlessly by the lake, he suddenly saw a bulging black thing in the clay not far away.
No one could have imagined that, at a glance, the American worker would be remembered by history, and the scientific community would be troubled for more than a hundred years.
As if something were beckoning him, the worker walked over and dug up the clay and picked up the black thing.
When he took the thing in his hand, he found that it was a stone.
He was amazed when the worker rubbed some of the clay on the surface of the stone and looked at it again. There are many strange patterns on this stone, including different shapes such as human faces, tents, corn ears and so on.
The American man carefully observed the shape of the stone and found that in addition to its peculiar pattern, the texture of the stone itself felt harder than ordinary stone.
This stone looks like a pebble, but it doesn't feel like it, and the whole feels like an antique, revealing a mysterious and quaint feeling everywhere.
He showed the leader the stone he had picked up, and the leader of the construction team was as surprised as the workers when he saw it, but he also did not know what it was, so he handed the stone over to the experts to study.
Interestingly, the experts did not know what it was, and everyone was at a loss, so they decided to release the news of the stone in order to attract the attention of a large number of experts and some media.
More and more people come to see the true face of the stone, and they also want to explore the secrets behind the stone, although there are many people, but there are basically no people who can really study the results.
Everyone is constantly speculating, and there are more and more speculations about this stone.
Fast forward 20 years, when the life of the factory leader is coming to an end, but the mystery of this stone has not been solved, so he decided to donate this stone to the state on his deathbed, hoping that the country can find the secret behind this stone.
But later, the people who studied this stone still did not gain after more than thirty years of hard work, so they donated the stone to a historical society.
Learn to place it on display in a historical museum and let those who are curious about the stone flock to it, so that there is a greater chance of solving the mystery of the stone.
The length of the stone is actually only 4 inches, the thickness is 2.5 inches, there are many strange patterns on it, everyone is very interested in the stone, in order to find the magic mystery behind it have been studied in various ways. After years of research, there are currently three most important cognitive accounts of this stone.
The first theory appeared in 1931, when some people proposed that this stone was called thunderstone, because thunderstone often appeared in corals and clay, and there would be some traces of artificial processing on it, so some people judged that it was thunderstone.
But after many years, when this stone was discovered, the soil quality had already changed, so it was not certain whether it was really a thunderstone.
The second conjecture, known as the Sandstone Theory, was proposed by an American emissary, based on the fact that although the mysterious stone looked like clay, it was incredibly hard.
Therefore, the messenger believes that this is due to the influence of natural factors in the process of soil formation, which is deposited by sandstone with a relatively delicate texture.
But this statement is also only possible, but at that time, it was difficult for the United States to find such a soily area in the whole territory, so everyone was skeptical of this speculation.
The third conjecture is intelligence theory, which is to think that these mysterious symbols may be special symbols for certain departments to transmit intelligence.
After all, in times of war, spies of many countries like to use special objects to transmit intelligence, so that it is safer to pass on information without being discovered, so this stone is most likely used to transmit intelligence in wartime.
The person who made this claim was a collector who himself collected many strange objects, so when he saw the stone, his first thought was that it might be a special object for spies to pass on intelligence.
He thought that the stone should be studied in terms of similar symbols and carving techniques, and after comparison, he found that the carvings on the stone may have come from a mysterious organization called "Freemasonry".
It just so happened that the river basin was one of the ways in which the Freemasons organized the transmission of information, but because the detailed records of these symbols had long been lost, it was not known what the truth was.
All three of the above are the speculations of scholars, who are experts in various fields, but when they face unknown events, they are also with an inquiry mentality.
They use what they have learned to explain the strange things they encounter, and they keep exploring, hoping to one day come to a satisfactory conclusion.
But the world is so big, nature is so mysterious, for the whole universe, even for the earth, human beings are too small, but those unknown things are like holding a thread, people are fascinated, want to explore the truth.
This mysterious stone, in addition to some strange patterns on it, researchers also found that it has vertical holes of different sizes at both ends, as if it was knocked out by some metal objects.
But how could ordinary metal objects make such uniform holes at that time? So experts believe that these mysterious openings are made of power tools.
So if you calculate it this way, the mysterious stone should have appeared when the power tools were produced in the 19th century.
Of course, there are also some geographers who believe that the mysterious stone is not man-made, but may have evolved naturally, like many sandstones in nature, they are naturally formed, and also have very fine textured layers.
If so, how did it end up in New Hampshire, where rocks are very rare? In this regard, some people think that the possibility of porting is still very large.
As for the third conjecture, the mysterious stone may have come from the Tongji, that is because the pattern on the mysterious stone is like a secret symbol of the Tongshe, which is most likely a secret code used by members of the Tongshe.
However, because the organization is more mysterious, and because it has been so long that the relevant information of the codebook cannot be found, in the eyes of ordinary people, these patterns only play some decorative roles, and do not know what connotations there are.
There are many different discussions about these conjectures, but it is nothing more than to wonder where the stone came from.
It suddenly and mysteriously appeared in people's field of vision one day, causing everyone to want to explore the secrets about it, some people think it is synthetic, and some people think that it is the magic of nature.
In short, there are huge secrets hidden in a small stone, and we humans want to explore the things in it, just to see some past civilizations from it, hoping that these civilizations can take us to a higher level.
The reason why science needs to be explored is nothing more than that the more classic and quaint things are, the more they like to hide themselves, and the more mysterious things are, the more attractive they are, and only when we find the secrets of these mysterious objects can we have the opportunity to know the stories of the past.
It's like borrowing time from God, traveling back in time to reinvent time, using the information carried by antiques to explore what has happened, and people can't help but be enchanted.
Of course, more than one case of such mysterious stones has been seen so far, and many strangely shaped stones have appeared one after another, and they have also become the object of expert research.
Some may have found the story behind it, while others remain unknown mysteries with no evidence and no reasonable explanation.
Because of the lack of results for a long time, many people have more speculations about these things and begin to try to compare similar objects with them, wondering if they will have similar roles and stories.
Just like in primitive societies, the way people used to transmit signals was to draw symbols on utensils or their surroundings to record what they saw, or to express their emotions through those patterns.
People will have this feeling at the first sight of the mysterious stone, as if it is used to transmit signals, but we don't know what information it is transmitting.
Mysterious stones were found in the United States, which also has many unsolved mysteries related to stones, such as the huge stone balls of Costa Rica, which were discovered when American workers developed the Costa Rican jungle.
They suddenly saw several mysterious balls appearing on the road, and these balls were also arranged in order from smallest to largest, some of which may be the same size as ping-pong balls, and some of which even weigh 16 tons, which can be imagined how big it is.
Therefore, some people speculate that these cobblestones are artificially made, so the question arises, who made so many perfect cobblestones? Experts at the time also made various speculations about this, but they were not sure where it came from.
In addition, there is the Ika stone, which was found by a chemist in the tombs of the ancient Incas, and these stones are very numerous and very old, so the chemist collected these stones.
He observed that the stones were very strange, with many patterns engraved on them, most of which were related to physiological movements, but this was only ordinary, because some of the images on them depicted heart-digging surgery and brain transplantation.
You must know that at that time, this technology was already very superb, and it was reasonable to say that there should be no such technology before, but now there is such a record on these stones, which is really incredible.
And it is said that those patterns also clearly describe a series of dinosaurs such as dinosaurs, thunderstorms, triangular dinosaurs, etc.
Because it was so surprising, some people doubted that the Ikashi pattern was just a farce, and its authenticity had not been confirmed, but it was impossible to know what the facts were.
Of course, there are other kinds of mysterious stones, and whenever these mysterious stones are discovered, experts will go to explore and want to know the mysteries behind these stones.
And the process of exploration is like treating the mysterious stone, constantly exploring, but constantly failing, and when nothing is finally explored, they are given conjecture.
Mystery is not only in the United States, our planet itself is very mysterious, living creatures on the earth are always a generation of succession, the next generation always wants to understand what happened in the previous generation, want to get experience and discovery from the predecessors.
We have found all kinds of magical things all over the world, such as the pyramids of ancient Egypt, how exactly did it magically stand in a desolate desert? How did the boulders that built it get carried? What kind of story is hidden inside the pyramids?
These questions are all motivators for scientists to explore, and it is just so quiet and mysterious to stay in the desert.
And how did the Mayans all disappear overnight? There are prophecies about the Mayans, so why are some of them already confirmed now? Where did the Mayans come from? Why did they prophesy this? And then why did they all disappear?
The Maya had prophesied that the world would perish, but on that day, the world still existed well and did not perish, so scientists also believe that the Mayan prophecies were not all accurate.
Whenever there is a very strange phenomenon in the world we live in, or when a large-scale infectious disease strikes, many people think that the world may be about to die, but our world still exists.
Those difficulties have also been overcome by us one by one, and the unknown brings us not only curiosity, but also a conjecture of terrible things.
We live in this mysterious world, and when we are still strange about mysterious events that appear around the world, some people begin to wonder about the origin of people.
Although it has been confirmed that man evolved from ancient apes, some people will still ask how those ancient apes and their original life were born.
It is said that because there is life with water, and the environment of the earth is very suitable for the birth of life, these scientific explanations give us a reasonable logic for these unknown things, but there are still many mysterious events in the world that we cannot explain.
But in any case, exploration is always endless, with the progress of the times, we can explore more and more unknowns, but we can never know what the future is like, which is precisely the driving force for human exploration.
For the mysterious stone, we are still exploring, I believe that one day we will be able to discover the story and civilization behind it, let's look forward to it together.
