Aliens excavated salt in Provadia more than 6,000 years ago. Ufologists and other researchers propose a similar theory that they are convinced that aliens from other worlds have visited our planet since ancient times. And the reason for this is a strange mask found among ancient rock salt mines, Monitor writes.
Terracotta
The mask in question is made of terracotta, it is made of local clay. It is quite miniature, which suggests that it is quite possible that the aliens in question were little hobbits.
The Archeology site in Bulgaria reports that an archaeological group led by Professor Vasil Nikolov has discovered the mysterious mask in question near the city of Provadia. In the world media, the artifact has been compared to an alien in a spacesuit. In fact, the strange mask, which combines the characteristics of an animal and a human, looks like an alien from a science fiction movie.
The excavations were carried out in the oldest salt mining center in Europe, dating from the 5th to 4th millennium BC. and it became the first prehistoric city on the continent. The site is located near the present city of Provadia and has been studied for years. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the archaeologists’ work began late this summer, but the season turned out to be extremely successful, the site reports.
Triangle
The ancient ceramic mask of an alien is triangular in shape. Archaeologists say it is an anthropomorphic image of a human face. On its upper part there are short growths, similar to stylized ears. In addition, the object has two holes, which probably served as a suspension.
The eyes of the mask are elliptical, the eyebrows are painted and a nose is hinted at. But this human-looking face doesn’t mention the mouth. It is assumed that the object was a symbol of high status in the social hierarchy. Scientists believe the artifact dates from the late Eneolithic period and was created around 4000 BC. C.
There is also a suggestion that this is not actually a mask, but a figure or amulet (because it is very small), which was worn on the chest and is associated with the cult of the sun. Archaeologists note that some of the facial features were carved, while others were very carefully polished.
“Looking into the eyes of the mask, you literally feel the strength, the superiority, the wisdom. Interestingly, if you look at the mask from a different angle, you notice traces of emotion. This was probably the goal of the authors of the mask, who wanted suggest something. In any case, this pearl is unique among our finds, “say the discoverers.
Atlanta
They themselves say that they see no connection to an alien civilization. But many ufologists think otherwise. It is known that in Provadia there are ancient finds after the end of the last ice age, when the Black Sea was a lake and after melting the water level rises and the ancient lake becomes a sea.
When salt was extracted in Provadia, the lake no longer existed, only the sea. According to some ufologists, in our lands at that time there was a civilization comparable to that of the mythical Atlantis, if not the Atlanteans themselves.
Some even say that in the lands of the Black Sea lake the first human civilizations occurred, that after the thaw and the flood (which may be biblical) they headed southeast and settled in Mesopotamia. And all this is done with the help of aliens.
Of course, most scientists do not accept this theory due to the lack of concrete written evidence, but also because it sounds more like fiction than reality.
This does not prevent ufologists from claiming that this scenario is highly probable and that the old gods are in fact extraterrestrial.
Stone fortresses guarded the deposits
Scientists are in awe of the huge stone block walls that rose very high around the town of salinas near Provadia and were unknown as a fortification system.
“The settlement is about 4700 years before Christ. The reason it has fortress walls is salt. The salt mine, as a production center in late prehistory, the time of the first European civilization, is very important because it only there is such a place in a large area from the Carpathians to the White Sea and from the Black Sea to Bosnia.
Salt extraction, being a strategic raw material, is of the utmost importance and these people had to defend production because salt is the first money. Everything that was produced was hidden or stored behind the stone walls of the fortress and the long-distance salt trade developed, “Professor Vasil Nikolov, head of the excavations, told BNR.
Studies of the site suggest that the city was inhabited by almost 350 people between 4700 and 4200 BC. C. – about 1500 years before the rise of the ancient Greek civilization.
Its origin and development is related to the Mirovsko salt deposit, in which it is located. Brine boiling in ceramic vessels is the first recorded case of salt technology in Europe, and Provadia-Solnitsa is the oldest salt extraction center on the Old Continent. So far, four salt evaporation facilities dating to the late Neolithic and the late Chalcolithic (5200-4200 BC) have been established in the area of the salt production center.
Scientists say that the oldest salt mining center in Europe is the first prehistoric urban center on our continent (4700-4250 BC). It consists of a salt production center with ritual wells, an unfortified settlement and later fortified with stone walls (citadel), a ritual field (sanctuary of wells), necropolis, and a hitherto unexplored ceramic production center. It occupies an area of approximately 300 acres.
The appearance and development of the complex are directly related to the largest and indeed the only rock salt deposit in the eastern Balkans, the so-called. Mirovsko salt deposit in which it is located.
Meanwhile, it became clear that this malting facility is much older. This showed a study in Glasgow, said the head of the excavations, corresponding member. Vasil Nikolov, who showed some of the new discoveries to journalists. Professor Nikolov explained that interesting ceramic pots and other artifacts were found. In addition to fortification systems, residential buildings, including two houses, were also studied.
