In Sri Lanka, the island of Ceylon, is cone-shaped mountain 2240 meters high, which adherents worship the four world religions. The reason for this honor - the imprint of a human foot in the rock at the top. According to legend, the mountain is located near to paradise. Adam on the mountain - the so- called peak - during the dry season every year thousands of pilgrims climb: Buddhists, Hindus, Christians and Muslims. Since climbing under the scorching sun - too hard a test pilgrimage at night. Provides the shortest path to overcome the steep steps of 5000.
A very unusual size of a human foot print on the top: length - 160 inches, width - 75.
Who hunted the dinosaurs?.
These tracks are available in other parts of the world. Thus, in the early XX century in the South African farmer, Stoffel Koetz found a giant footprint left foot. He was typing in one of the rocks to a depth of 12 centimeters and had a length of 1.28 meters. The age of this print hundreds of millions of years.
Many times, archaeologists have found tools and a huge. In Ohio, the United States, was found a copper ax weighing 30 kilograms.
In 1960 during excavations in Siberia, Soviet archaeologists have won no less intriguing finds: dinosaur bones sticking out of it with a huge boom tip. One of the Internet site says paleontologist and science fiction writer Ivan Efremov in the Gobi Desert near the skeletons of dinosaurs found the bones of a humanoid creature, and several high-tech metal objects. Interestingly, in some dinosaur bone he found bullet holes clearly. More recently in Sarawak, Malaysia, which has long been portrayed in the legends of giants in the forest were found huge pieces of wood from 2.5 to 9.0 meters in length. Maybe they were instruments of the people, the giants?.
Giants of Nevada.
Not only archaeologists, but also random people found the skeletons of giants. In 1877 in a deserted hilly area near the town Evreki, Nevada, miners worked in the gold leaching. And one of the workers happened to notice ingrown into the rock and blackened by the time the bones of the human foot and lower leg. Miners with picks freed them from the rocks, and later taken to the Evreku, paleontologists, whose discovery came across, found that the length of the bone from knee to foot was. 97 inches. The owner of such extremities had to have a growth of 3 meters 60 centimeters! .
At the same at the Nevada Paiute Indian tribe there is a legend that on their land long ago lived red-haired giants. And they were very cruel. Many years ago, the warriors of the tribe Paiute drove the giants, and they have long lived in a cave Lovelock. This cave, located 35 kilometers from the eponymous town, known for the fact that it inhabits many bats. In 1911, guano miners dug in her mummified remains of the mysterious red-haired people rise of 2.5 meters or more.
Secrets of the Dark Continent.
Similar findings were made in other continents. V1890 in Egypt, archaeologists discovered a stone sarcophagus inside a clay coffin, which rested two-meter red-haired mummy of a woman with a baby. Features and the addition of mummies differed sharply from the ancient Egyptians, but much like the Giants of Lovelock Cave.
In 1936, German paleontologist and anthropologist Larson Kohl found the skeletons of gigantic men on the shore of Lake Eliza in Central Africa. 12 men were buried in mass grave. Their height reached 375 centimeters. It is interesting that the deceased had a skull sloping chins and two sets of upper and lower teeth.
In South Africa, the diamond developments in 1950, workers found a skull fragment of the vast height of 45 inches. Above the brow were two strange bulge -like small horns. Anthropologists, who fell into the hands of the mysterious discovery, determined its age: nearly nine million years!.
Already in 1999 on the western shore of Lake Turkana of Kenya were found the remains of a tall upright-walking creatures who lived four million years ago.
You can solve this riddle!.
Fast forward to Asia. In the late 1950s during road construction in the south- east Turkey in the valley of the Euphrates River was opened several graves with human remains of gigantic proportions. The two were discovered thigh bones of about 120 centimeters in length. Joe Taylor, director of the Museum of fossils of Texas, USA, which bought the bones, held by all the academic rules of the reconstruction image of the holder. It turned out that he had to have a growth of about five meters and the length of the foot almost half a meter. The hands of such a giant would be at 1.8 meters from the ground.
Earlier, in 1935, a Dutch archaeologist Ralph von Koenigswald found fossils in Hong Kong, human teeth, each of which was five times greater than that of modern humans. Approximate weight of their owner had to be at least 500 kg, height - five feet.
Traces of human giants - preserved in Europe. At the end of the XIX century in Ireland, in County Astrom, was found the mummy of human growth 3.7 meters. It is remarkable that the giant had six fingers on each limb. This mummy is on display at exhibitions in Dublin, Liverpool and Manchester. Further traces of her lost.
Four-meter human skeleton in the summer of 2000 was discovered by two amateur archaeologists in Georgia near the village of Udabno.
The remains of giants were found in Australia and allegedly even in Antarctica. It turns out that their tracks are almost all parts of the world. Therefore, we may say that if we consider such evidence alone, they will remain unsolved mysteries and miracles, but if you collect all the information together, you should study them and look for ways to research findings and generalizations.

In the future Apple device will switch to ' pull the sun '
It is possible that future cell phones, and Pocket Player of the company. Apple. will be equipped with solar panels. At the very least, the site of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on behalf of employees. Apple. published. patent application for ' solar cells for portable devices '.
Solar panels can be used to recharge the main battery of mobile devices such as laptop or smartphone. External battery chargers, solar-powered already exist, but the wide practical application has not yet found. This is partly explained by the fact that not everyone wants to weigh down your pockets plus cargo.
Apple. has embedded solar cells directly into the body of gadgets. It is assumed that the solar array will be located between the translucent screen and printed circuit board portable device. Thus, the presence of solar panels will not affect the appearance of the gadget, and at the same time, increased battery life of mobile devices.
Incidentally, it should be noted that a similar technique has previously. patented. company. Motorola. But how soon mobile phones, iPods and other gadgets with integrated solar cells may be on the market,. Motorola. and. Apple. until the silent.

Passed Dudayev for a million dollars
15 years ago was killed by Chechen President Johar Dudayev. Few people know that before the fateful day he managed to survive three assassination organized by the Russian special services. The first time the sniper missed - a bullet grazed his cap just a little rebel leader. The second time exploded a mine planted in the path of his car, but turned it. A third time, Dudayev was saved by miracle - he, along with protection left the house five minutes before the cloak of its chips in the air-launched rocket. The correspondent of ...
BOILING POINT.
CP: - There is still no complete clarity when and how to begin the operation, who played a major role in it, as it was carried out.
VYa: - Well, actually all the details of the transaction you would not tell anyone.
All materials are still classified. The successful ... Do not disclose to you the same agents. Or those who have served or are working in the security services or other organizations. And we Yuri Alekseevich some things have to ... You ask, who played the main role of the operation? .
VJ: - With the participation of the Air Force.
CP: - When was given ...
After hitting the car air missiles Dudayev was only a heap of twisted iron.
VYa: - In the spring of 1996. Remember, on the eve of his Raduyev bandyukov attacks Dagestani town of Kizlyar, then easily breaks into the May Day and the same goes unpunished in the village, blocked by snipers '38 th ' back into Chechnya. And then - a new problem. In mid-April 1996, in the Shatoi district of Chechnya, under the Yarysh- Mardy was defeated by a column of the 245th Motorized Rifle Regiment. It has been there for nearly 90 dead and 50 wounded. And of the 27 armored vehicles militias burned 24. And it is - after Yeltsin before, during a visit to Krasnodar, said: ... Ready to discuss with Dudayev, as we shall live with Chechnya '. And when he learned of the defeat of the column is in another he said: ' Meet with Dudayev will not. I do not talk to the bandits '. It was clear that the planned peace with Dudayev would not be.
VJ: - There should be both taken into account. Approaching presidential elections in Russia. Yeltsin's rating has fallen below the permissible limits - up to 6 percent!.
A Duma also demanded that he be punished and to shift the siloviki, especially Defense Minister Grachev. For the large loss of life. Meanwhile, the left and right Dudayev gave an interview in Moscow and foreign media, humiliated Russian generals. Against Dudayev's criminal case, but prosecutors complained that he ' can not find '. Over our intelligence agencies began to laugh. And then there's this tragic accident near the village of Yarysh- Mardy. President furious orders to eliminate Dudayev. The flywheel has been launched.
...
VYa: - Yes, all units of the GRU in Chechnya, the General Staff was particularly strong strain is in the middle of April. We were in the area of deployment came just two colonels from the ...
CP: - Vladimir Ivanovich, who you were in April 96th?.
VYa: - Mayor, deputy commander of Special Forces.
CP: - What was this unit?.
VYa: - Three dozen well-trained soldiers. Officers, warrant officers, soldiers, contractors. All - Wolves shelled. Snipers, sappers, radio operators, avianavodchiki. Our commander, along with others called to the headquarters of the group and said: ... There was no doubt - whose.
CP: - And before these problems should not be made?.
VYa: - These problems are generally staged all Russian intelligence services since the war began. However, Dudayev had been unreachable. Special Forces soldiers jokingly called him the elusive Joe. He ' shook ' us a long time. His instinct was just a beast. Once spotted the place of his lodging, surrounded the village. Beacon found beneath the house. Gave a tip-off aircraft. Launch the house to pieces the cloak, but there was nobody.
CP: - From our officers have heard that many times snipers have kept his head Dudayev ...
VYa: - This is just a popular tale, which to some extent ... On the contrary, snipers, and not only snipers, and even promised to order the Gold Star for the destruction of ...
CP: - And what is the problem to get your team in the middle of April 96th?.
VYa: - We are ' grazed ' his square kilometers in the south- east of 30-40 Terrible. Gekhi -Chu village stood just on the boundary line of our areas of responsibility and the neighboring units. According to the agency, before April 21, Dudayev had been there three times - in the so-called military prosecutor of the republic Magomed Dzhanieva. Security - thirty. We turn up there do not just dare, to frighten.
CP: - Why, again, the problem of the destruction of Dudayev did not put snipers?.
VYa: - Where are there! . They were spotted by local informants that Dudayev with approximately the same space on a vacant lot on the phone talking.
MILLION FOR FOCUSING.
CP: - But how could recruit ' local informants '? .
SA: - The Chechens are people too and they have their weaknesses. A PRINCIPLES sometimes can but very profitable commodity. If they sell well. We have them, and ' bought '. However, we had a very long time to bargain. We had to build up a deal so that there was no fraud, so you can make sure that the ' product ' is not a fake.
CP: - How many had to pay?.
VJ: - Many. lemon. dollars. Although the two have begun to bargain with.
CP: - Out of whose budget had been ' seized ' money?.
VJ: - When Yeltsin came to the elections in Russia were a lot of bags that are for the victory of Boris Nikolayevich was willing to pay, and not as ' nonsense '. The game was worth the candle. So, this is the Chechen ...
We reported to the headquarters. From there, were ordered to establish a powerful bombs in the ' connection point '. And watch the wasteland around the clock. But there's more Dudayev did not appear. They began to suspect that we are ' thrown '. But on the other side said: they say, wait, let us make.
MP: - However, the laying of mines - a game of chance.
VJ: - Certainly. Therefore, parallel to the GRU and the FSB was worked and the other option - hit with a rocket plane with a laser seeker. Along the line of satellite phone. But a few such attempts have failed. From Mozdok to Gekhi -Chu, our ' Soo ' came to my ears for about 7-8 minutes. A Dudayev said, usually about 5 minutes. The tube was placed, - the signal was lost, the rocket is blind.
CP: - But in order to pinpoint exactly Dudayev's phone, it was necessary to know its ...
VJ: - Oh, that's another story! . One of those stories - about the Americans, who allegedly gave Dudayev apparatus ' Inmarsat ', and then told us to TTX.
The second - about the mysterious Turk who supposedly ... Since the missile with a laser seeker ... Photos taken from the American magazine associated with the National Security Agency ( NSA). The magazine claims that the NSA is a real-time video received from the rocket.
Since the missile with a laser seeker ... Photos taken from the American magazine associated with the National Security Agency ( NSA). The magazine claims that the NSA is a real-time video received from the rocket.
MYSTERY TUBE.
CP: - The foreign press there and here is a version of the exotic: ' Satellite phone installation of Jowhar has presented the Turkish Prime Minister Arbakan. Turkish ' left ', relating to Russian intelligence, through a spy during the assembly of the phone in Turkey have established a special microswitch in it, regularly monitoring this device. In addition, in the center of Singnet Super Computer, located in the region, Maryland, USA, was established round the clock surveillance system telephone Dudayev. Office of the U.S. National Securitu Agency aired daily in the CIA information about the location and telephone conversations Dudayev. These dossiers received Turkey. A Turkish ' leftist ' officers passed a dossier to the Russian FSB ... How's that for syuzhetets?.
SA: - The Brothers Grimm rest! .
The Americans and the British satellite electronic reconnaissance and interception led to a period of very intensive monitoring Chechnya.
Why Yandarbiyev and suggested that the code is a satellite phone to transmit Dudaev by Russian special services to American or British counterparts. With what a joy? .
CP: - And what was all really?.
VJ: - In fact, through their own channels, we found that Dudayev really enjoys American satellite phone.
Had to solve three problems: set up our equipment on the phone, at the time set for the next training session Dudayev's communications team and give our fighters. Reconnaissance aircraft airborne ( AWACS ) in those days almost always hung in the air and it's easier for us to help solve the problem. Only one problem does not depend on us - how many will say Dudayev.
CP: - leaked information that a ' scientific and technical department ' in the depths of our intelligence services before the operation allegedly made the device that intercepted the beam coming from the phone to the satellite, fixed the exact position of the subscriber and handed them over to aviation.
VJ: - Yes, our radio-electronic services even during the Soviet era have such opportunities.
CP: - But there is another version: that the starting point for the raid served as a signalman who died lost Raduyev Phone Satellite Communications. He, they say, and helped expose a system to link the militants were organized.
VJ: - Communication guerrillas, but not Dudayev. Yes, the phone for some time gave us some tips. But in the operations against Dudayev, they have not worked. On the ' other side ', too, were not ignoramuses.
The first president of Ichkeria until the last day did not believe that the hands of Russian special services can get it.
The first president of Ichkeria until the last day did not believe that the hands of Russian special services can get it.
Johar talk to anyone?.
CP: - On the day of the death of Dudayev, said nearly three times longer than usual. 15-20 minutes. Such a tightening of his conversation with the Moscow ' subscriber ' was also part of the operation?.
VJ: - No comments.
CP: - Well, let's go to the other side. Here are the words of former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Thomas Pickering: ' Yes, a long time did not know who told Dudayev by phone a few minutes before death. But recently, Alla Dudayev 's widow said - with Yeltsin. The Russian media did not advertise this fact - and then say, awkward: the President of a great country as a decoy '. Is this true?.
VYa: - No. Because his wife Alla Dudayev, kotoroya during communication with the Moscow subscriber husband that day was not far away, in an interview, said clearly: ' ' And then he began to speak with Johar Borovoy '. Yeltsin did not mention the name of the.
VJ: - Konstantin Borovoy has truly become the unwitting perpetrator of the Chechen president 's death. Dudayev has repeatedly contacted Borovoy on your satellite phone. After each session, they agreed, when will the next conversation. As a result, Borovoy was the last person that talked to Dudayev. That's one of his confession: ... It was about six in the evening. The conversation was interrupted. However, our conversations are often interrupted. He called me sometimes several times a day. I'm not a hundred percent sure that the missile strike occurred at the time of our last conversations with him. But more to the relationship he had with me did not come out '. (Yesterday I called Constantine Bernstein, and he confirmed his words are - WB).
CP: - Borovoy talked with Dudayev ...
VJ: - No comments.
CP: - How it all happened in one day in April?.
VJ: - Through their Chechen agents, we have extracted the information that Dudayev intends to get in touch in a certain square. And even the approximate time we already knew. For a complete readiness obyavlena. On that day all of us - and the landsmen, and pilots were lucky, more than ever. Dudayev has approached the Gekhi -Chu, and the plane is taxiing in Mozdok on vzletku. It is only then we learned that Dudayev was there with his wife, aides, security guards. They arrived at the vacant lot. Launched a satellite phone. At the time, said Dudayev is really longer than usual. We heard the distant rumble of an airplane, then a deafening explosion thundered. A few hours later, we received confirmation 'to stand by! ' That the body is prepared for burial Dudayev. The headquarters was transferred to the encoded message - something like ' The owner was fast asleep '. all.
From the memoirs of Alla Dudayeva:.
... And here I stand with Vahoy Ibragimov on the edge of the ravine, early spring, the birds are singing. And one bird was crying - as if groans from the ravine. I did not know that it is the cuckoo.
And suddenly - behind me hit a rocket. Twenty meters away, I stood by Johar, I dropped into a ravine. Corner of his eye saw a yellow flame.
She began to get out. Look - ... Then the second blow. On top of me fell down one of the guards, he wanted me to close the. Once calmed down, he got up, and I heard the cry of Viskhan, nephew Johar. Got out, I do not understand where all gone: no ... He has died '.
Vitaly Orlov, General Director of ...
- The number of satellite phone subscriber calculate the coordinates of an elementary. They are automatically built into the system of subscriber connection, all the rooms there are fixed. If the communication system is not domestic, the method of direction finding using equipment installed on the aircraft - at the subscriber unit antenna radiation. Accuracy of coordinates can be up to fifty meters.
Andrew Master, Colonel, an expert on electronic surveillance:.
- The aircraft AWACS ( Airborne Early Warning ) can detect the target ( satellite phone ) on its radiation. A combat aircraft with missiles may be in readiness at the nearest airfield or in a specific area of expectations in the air. And, having received a command from the air or the ground control center, go to the line and let the rocket. And so she finds seeker target. By the way, depending on the type of missiles can be induced and the beacon affixed, for example, bumper cars, the electromagnetic radiation ( satellite dish ) on board the same aircraft early warning and control system or other spy plane.
HOLIDAY FOR YELTSIN.
April 22, Yeltsin paid a visit to Khabarovsk. After meeting with the edge of the Kremlin delegation went to a local restaurant for lunch. In the midst of revelry to the president approached the officer and the Government Communications reported that the director of the FSB on the wire with something important and urgent. Boris went into the next room. One witness said the scene is then: ' Yeltsin was so excited that he forgot to cover up the door. And almost shouted into the phone: 'This train?. Is this true?. Well, thank you. With my Hero! '. President returned to the table with a view schatlivogo birthday and even danced. He immediately took the floor and toast, which began with the words: ... ' The next morning all the agencies handed the number one news: Dudayev was killed.
