They\u2019re interesting to me because they concern a topic that fascinates me &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/radiance-coaching.com\/category\/ancient-knowledge\/\" target=\"_blank\">ancient knowledge<\/a> and <em>apparent<\/em> mysteries posed to us by it. In his article &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jeremyglover\/sets\/72157604371573941\/\">In search of Ye Olde new technology<\/a>&#8216; written for the Beyond magazine in March 2008, Jerry illustrates a few well known examples of OOParts (Out of place artefacts). These include probably the best known OOPart, the <a title=\"Antikythera mechanism replicated\" href=\"http:\/\/radiance-coaching.com\/2009\/01\/01\/antikythera-mechanism-replicated\/\" target=\"_blank\">Antikythera mechanism<\/a> along with other well known examples like the Baghdad batteries and the Piri Re\u2019is map. I liked the title of the article so much that I decided to use it as a title of this blog post. This informative and well-researched article also mentions some interesting aspects such as the use of OOParts by the Creationist school of thought as a proof of Creation, the supposed OOParts that turned out to be hoaxes and the numerous Hollywood movies that have been based on the idea of OOParts or <em>unexpected technology<\/em>. At the end of the article, there is a plot that shows the accepted\/expected period in the past to which these items\/mechanisms belong. This plot goes back up to 1 million years which is when OOParts like the wooden spears in Europe and the Baigong iron pipes of China are believed to have been made\/used!<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">In connection to this article I found another article and a few videos on YT by Jerry which enlist mysterious places on the planet. In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jeremyglover\/sets\/72157603865167400\/\">The world\u2019s top 50 mysterious places<\/a>\u00a0he digs out a treasure trove of some famous and quite a few not-so-well-known places\/structures in the world that are (known or supposed to be) man-made and are mysterious in some way. All the places have been pinpointed with their latitude-longitude <em>address<\/em>. Some of them are mysterious because only 10% of them have been studied or excavated and others are well-researched but still evade any explanations of their purpose. I learnt about a lot more <em>mysterious<\/em> places after reading this article. The series of videos with similar name on his <a href=\"http:\/\/au.youtube.com\/user\/jeroid\">YT channel<\/a> takes you on a trip to these various places around the world using the Google Earth software.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">I\u2019d recommend these (and his other) articles and videos it to anyone who is interested in such topics as <a href=\"https:\/\/radhikand.wordpress.com\/wp-admin\/edit.php?category_name=archaeology\" target=\"_blank\">archaeology<\/a>, ancient knowledge etc. And more importantly, is ready to think logically without any preconceptions about <a href=\"https:\/\/radhikand.wordpress.com\/wp-admin\/edit.php?category_name=history\" target=\"_blank\">history<\/a> and <a title=\"What would you un-invent?\" href=\"http:\/\/radiance-coaching.com\/2009\/04\/11\/what-would-you-un-invent\/\" target=\"_blank\">evolution of mankind<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I came across some interesting videos and articles made\/written by Jerry Glover.
