CREATOR"

A find of Bashkir scientists contraries to traditional
notions of human history: stone stabs which is 120 million years covered with the relief
map of Ural Region.
This seems to be impossible. Scientists of Bashkir State University have found
indisputable proofs of an ancient highly developed civilization’s existence. The
question is about a great plate found in 1999, with picture of the region done according
to an unknown technology. This is a real relief map. Today’s military has almost
similar maps. The map contains civil engineering works: a system of channels with a length
of about 12,000 km, weirs, powerful dams. Not far from the channels, diamond-shaped
grounds are shown, whose destination is unknown. The map also contains some inscriptions.
Even numerous inscriptions. At first, the scientists thought that was Old Chinese
language. Though, it turned out that the subscriptions were done in a
hieroglyphic-syllabic language of unknown origin. The scientists never managed to read
it…
“The more I learn the more I understand that I know nothing,” – the doctor
of physical and mathematical science, professor of Bashkir State University, Alexandr
Chuvyrov admits. Namely Chuvyrov made that sensational find. Already in 1995, the
professor and his post-graduate student from China Huan Hun decided to study the
hypothesis of possible migration of Old Chinese population to the territory of Siberia and
Ural. In an expedition to Bashkiria, they found several rock carvings done in Old Chinese
language. These finds confirmed the hypothesis of Chinese migrants. The subscriptions were
read. They mostly contained information about trade bargains, marriage and death
registration.
Though, during the searches, notes dated the 18th century were found in archives of Ufa
governor-general. They reported about 200 unusual stone stabs which were situated not far
from the Chandar village, Nurimanov Region. Chuvyrov and his colleague at once decided
that stabs could be connected with Chinese migrants. Archive notes also reported that in
17th-18th centuries, expeditions of Russian scientists who investigated Ural Region had
studied 200 white stabs with signs and patterns, while in early 20th century,
archaeologist A.Schmidt also had seen some white stabs in Bashkiria. This made the
scientist start the search. In 1998, after having formed a team of his students, Chuvyrov
launched the work. He hired a helicopter, and the first expedition carried a flying around
of the places where the stabs were supposed to be. Though, despite all efforts, the
ancient stabs were not found. Chuvyrov was very upset and even thought the stabs were just
a beautiful legend.
The luck was unexpected. During one of Chuvyrov’s trips to the village, ex-chairman
of the local agricultural council, Vladimir Krainov, came to him (apropos, in the house of
Krainov’s father, archaelogist Schmidt once staid) and said: “Are you searching
for some stone stabs? I have a strange stab in my yard.” “At first, I did not
took that report seriously, - Chuvyrov told. – Though, I decided to go to that yard
to see it. I remember this day exactly: July 21, 1999. Under the porch of the house, the
stab with some dents lied. The stab was so heavy that we together could not take it out.
So I went to the city of Ufa, to ask for help.”
In a week, work was launched in Chandar. After having dug out the stab, the searches were
stroke with its size: it was 148 cm high, 106 cm wide and 16 cm thick. While it weighed at
least one ton. The master of the house made special wooden rollers, so the stab was rolled
out from the hole. The find was called “Dashka’s stone” (in honour of
Alexandr Chuvyrov’s granddaughter born the day before it) and transported to the
university for investigation. After the stab was cleaned of earth, the scientists could
not entrust to their eyes... “At first sight, - Chuvyrov sais, - I understood that
was not a simple stone piece, but a real map, and not a simple map, but a
three-dimensional. You can see it yourself.”
“How did we manage to identify the place? At first, we could not imagine the map was
so ancient. Happily, relief of today’s Bashkiria has not changed so much within
millions of years. We could identify Ufa Height, while Ufa Canyon is the main point of our
proofs, because we carried out geological studies and found its track where it must be
according to the ancient map. Displacement of the canyon happened because of tectonic
stabs which moved from East. The group of Russian and Chinese specialists in the field of
cartography, physics, mathematics, geology, chemistry, and Old Chinese language managed to
precisely find out that the stab contains the map of Ural region, with rivers Belya,
Ufimka, Sutolka,” – Alexandr Chuvyrov said while showing the lines on the stone
to the journalists. – You can see Ufa Canyon – the break of the earth’s
crust, stretched out from the city of Ufa to the city of Sterlitimak. At the moment,
Urshak River runs over the former canyon.” The map is done on a scale 1 : 1.1 km.
Alexandr Chuvyrov, being physicist, has got into the habit of entrusting only to results
of investigation. While today there are such facts.
Geological structure of the stab was determined: it cosists of three levels. The base is
14 cm chick, made of the firmest dolomite. The second level is probably the most
interesting, “made” of diopside glas. The technology of its treatement is not
known to modern science. Actually, the picture is marked on this level. While the third
level is 2 mm thick and made of calcium porcelain protecting the map from external impact.
“It should be noticed, - the professor said, - that the relief has not been manually
made by an ancient stonecutter. It is simply impossible. It is obvious that the stone was
machined.” X-ray photographs confirmed that the stab was of artificial origin and has
been made with some precision tools.
At first, the scientists supposed that the ancient map could have been made by the ancient
Chinese, because of vertical inscriptions on the map. As well known, vertical literature
was used in Old Chinese language before 3rd century. To check his supposition, professor
Chuvyrov visited Chinese empire library. Within 40 minutes he could spend in the library
according to the permission he looked through several rare books, though no one of them
contained literature similar to that one on the stab. After the meeting with his
colleagues from Hunan university, he completely gave up the version about “Chinese
track.” The scientist concluded that porcelain covering the stab had never been used
in China. Although all the efforts to decipher the inscriptions were fruitless, it was
found out that the literature had hieroglyphic-syllabic character. Chuvyrov, however,
states he has deciphered one sign on the map: it signifies latitude of today’s city
of Ufa.
The longer the stab was studied, the more mysteries appeared. On the map, a giant
irrigative system could be seen: in addition to the rivers, there are two 500-metre-wide
channel systems, 12 dams, 300-500 metres wide, approximately 10 km long and 3 km deep
each. The dams most likely helped in turning water in either side, while to create them
over 1 quadrillion cubic metres of earth was shifted. In comparison with that irrigative
system, Volga-Don Channel looks like a scratch on the today’s relief. As a physicist,
Alexandr Chuvyrov supposes that now mankind can build only a small part of what is
pictured on the map. According to the map, initially, Belaya River had an artificial
river-bad.
It was difficult to determine even an approximate age of the stab. At first, radiocarbonic
analysis was carried out, afterwards levels of stab were scanned with uranium chronometer,
though the investigations showed different results and the age of the stab remained
unclear. While examining the stone, two shells were found on its surface. The age of one
of them – Navicopsina munitus of Gyrodeidae family - is about 500 million years,
while of the second one – Ecculiomphalus princeps of Ecculiomphalinae subfamily - is
about 120 million years. Namely that age was accepted as a “working version.”
“The map was probably created at the time when the Earth’s magnetic pole
situated in the today’s area of Franz Josef Land, while this was exactly 120 million
years ago, - professor Chuvyrov says. – The map we have is beyond of traditional
perception of mankind and we need a long time to get used to it. We have got used to our
miracle. At first we thought that the stone was about 3,000 years. Though, that age was
gradually growing, till we identified the shells ingrained in the stone to sign some
objects. Though, who could guarantee that the shell was alive while being ingrained in the
map? The map’s creator probably used a petrified find.”
What could be the destination of the map? That is probably the most interesting thing.
Materials of the Bashkir find were already investigated in Centre of Historical
Cartography in Visconsin, USA. The Americans were amazed. According to them, such
three-dimensional map could have only one destination – a navigational one, while it
could be worked out only through aerospace survey. Moreover, namely now in the US, work is
being carried out at creation of world three-dimensional map like that. Though, the
Americans intend to complete the work only to 2010. The question is that while compiling
such three-dimensional map, it is necessary to work over too many figures. “Try to
map at least a mountain! – Chuvyrov says. – The technology of compiling such
maps demands super-power computers and aerospace survey from the Shuttle.” So, who
then did created this map? Chuvyrov, while speaking about the unknown cartographers, is
wary: “I do not like talks about some UFO and extraterrestrial. Let us call the
author of the map simply – the creator.”
It looks like that who lived and built at that time used only air transport means: there
is no ways on the map. Or they, probably, used water ways. There is also an opinion, that
the authors of the ancient map did not live there at all, but only prepared that place for
settlement through draining the land. This seems to be the most probable version, though
nothing could be stated for the time being. Why not to assume that the authors belonged to
a civilization which existed earlier?
Latest investigations of the map bring one sensation after another. Now, the scientists
are sure of the map being only a fragment of a big map of the Earth. According to some
hypothesis, there were totally 348 fragments like that. The other fragments could be
probably somewhere near there. In outskirts of Chandar, the scientists took over 400
samples of soil and found out that the whole map had been most likely situated in the
gorge of Sokolinaya Mountain (Falcon Mountain). Though, during the glacial epoch it was
tore to pieces. But if the scientists manage to gather the “mosaic,” the map
should have an approximate seize of 340 x 340 m. After having studied the archive
materials, Chuvyrov ascertained approximate place where four pieces could be situated: one
could lie under one house in Chandar, the other – under the house of merchant
Khasanov, the third – under one of the village baths, the fourth – under the
bridge’s pier of the local narrow-gauge railway.
In the meanwhile, Bashkir scientists send out information about their find to different
scientific centres of the world; in several international congresses, they have already
given reports on the subject: The Civil Engineering Works Map of an Unknown Civilization
of South Ural.”
The find of Bashkir scientists has no analogues. With only one exclusion. When the
research was at its height, a small stone – chalcedony - got to professor
Chuvyrov’s table, containing a similar relief. Probably somebody, who saw the stab
wanted to copy the relief. Though, who and why?
