The 300,000-year-old nanospirals found in the Urals remain an unsolved mystery
In 1992, some strange, extremely small spiral-shaped artifacts were found in the Ural Mountains, fueling a debate that continues to this day. The origin of these extraordinary artifacts, which the human eye can barely see, has not yet been explained. Do these mysterious, tiny structures suggest that a culture capable of developing nanotechnology existed 300,000 years ago?
In 1992, near the banks of the Kozhim and Balbanyu rivers, which flow in the Ural Mountains in Russia, geologist Johannes Fiebag accidentally discovered what would later become known as the “Russian nanospirals.” The nanospirals were discovered during routine mining investigations carried out in some deposits in the Ural Mountains.
These were microscopies of sinusoidal structures. According to an analysis performed by the Russian Academy of Sciences in Syktyvkar, they are made from an alloy of copper, tungsten and molybdenum.
Some of them are so tiny that they are practically invisible to the naked eye. The dimensions of the objects vary from 3 cm to 0.0003 mm. Their remarkable regularity in structure and extremely smooth surface can only be observed with the electron microscope.
The nanospirals do not appear to be the result of any known natural process that could explain their formation. Furthermore, they show a disturbing resemblance to some elements recently developed in the field of nanotechnology, similar to the components of some type of nanomachine developed only since 1970.
The most disconcerting aspect is that the tiny sinusoids were found in some deposits of gravel and debris in the Mikulinsk Horizon region, at a depth between 5 and 15 meters, practically a geological layer of the Pleistocene, in a period between 300 thousand and 20 thousand years ago.
There is no plausible explanation as to how such objects could have been embedded so deeply without having very ancient origins.
But clearly, considering the conventional chronology of human history, we are faced with a paradox: how is it possible that in such a remote period there existed human beings so advanced as to be able to develop nanotechnologies?
Naturally, according to the Ancient Astronauts theory, the finds from the Ural Mountains, together with many other inexplicable objects found in the same region, confirm the theory according to which, in very remote times, groups of travelers belonging to non-terrestrial civilizations visited our planet.
However large number of persons continue to claim that these small objects are nothing more than debris left behind by the numerous rockets launched at the nearby Pleseck Cosmodrome. In response, supporters of the authenticity of the finds argue that this argument does not hold, for at least two reasons:
- first of all, at least as far as is officially known, none of the missiles tested at Pleseck were equipped with similar nanotechnologies.
- given that the finds were found several meters below the surface, it is not possible to understand how any missile debris would have managed to reach this level of depth.
Although the finds have been studied by the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Syktyvkar and St. Petersburg, and also at the Helsinki Institute in Finland, no satisfactory conclusion exists at the moment. Furthermore, with the death of Dr. Johannes Fiebag, no further research has been conducted on the matter.
Clearly, until a firm point is made on the nature of these enigmatic objects, every hypothesis is legitimate. We hope that in the near future the scientific community will decide to examine Russian nanospirals and continue the research started by Fiebag.
