Over 6,000 years ago, a mysterious civilization had detailed maps of our solar system.
The Sumerians created these drawings using clay. The surviving drawings show that they understood that the sun is a star at the center of the solar system and that other planets revolve around it. They even accurately sketched the orbits and positions of the planets.
Interestingly, some of their paintings also depict strange images with giant enтιтies. The Sumerians considered them to be deities. Intriguingly, some of the drawings of these gods even display symbols resembling human DNA sequences. Additionally, they had symbols related to medicine, which bear significant resemblance to modern medical symbols.
To this day, we still cannot understand how thousands of years ago, the oldest civilization of mankind had such profound knowledge of astronomy.
This raises the question of whether this ancient civilization was not backward, but rather had advanced far beyond our current understanding of them.
