Have you ever wondered why we're forbidden from asking uncomfortable questions about the technologies of the past? We've been taught our whole lives

past? We've been taught our whole lives that history develops linearly. From the

digging stick to the steam engine, from bow and arrow to nuclear warhead. But

what if I tell you that this straight line is a lie? What if the key technologies that shaped the course of history weren't invented, but simply found?

Today we're going to crack open one of the most explosive topics from which official historians shily avert their eyes. We're talking about gunpowder.

eyes. We're talking about gunpowder.

We're told that black powder was invented by Chinese alchemists or European monks in the Middle Ages, mixing ingredients at random. But anyone

even slightly familiar with chemistry and manufacturing will understand. The

official version is a fairy tale for preschool children.

Do you really believe that in a dirty cell, by the light of a rush light, without understanding Mendelv's periodic table, without knowledge of molar masses, and without precision equipment,

it was possible to synthesize a substance requiring laboratory purity?

Let's cast aside the school textbooks and turn on critical thinking. We're

told that some monk, Beerthold Schwarz, or Chinese sages simply mixed three components. salt peter, sulfur, and

components. salt peter, sulfur, and charcoal. And lo and behold, they got

charcoal. And lo and behold, they got the perfect explosive.

Sounds simple, right? But the devil is in the details, which museum guides remain silent about. For this mixture not just to hiss and smoke, but to

explode with monstrous force, hurling a cannonball weighing dozens of pounds, it needs not just a mixture. It needs the perfect proportion, and most

importantly, chemically pure components.

And here's where it gets most interesting. Here's where the official

interesting. Here's where the official science's zone of silence begins. Let's

break down the composition. Charcoal.

Fine. Anyone can burn wood.

Sulfur. It can be found in nature, though it's not that simple with it.

Natural sulfur contains a mass of impurities that kill the combustion reaction. But the main nail in the

reaction. But the main nail in the coffin of the official version is potassium nitrate.

Potassium nitrate.

This is the main oxidizer, the heart of black powder. It must be exactly 75% in

black powder. It must be exactly 75% in the mixture. Not 50, not 90, but exactly

the mixture. Not 50, not 90, but exactly 75.

How could a medieval person know this figure? By trial and error. Can you

figure? By trial and error. Can you

imagine trial and error with explosives?

The first failed experiment with large volumes would send the experimentter to the next world along with his entire laboratory.

They had no right to error.

But they immediately, instantaneously on historical scales, start producing gunpowder by the tons.

Think about the word tons. To wage war, to equip an army of musketeers and an artillery battery, you don't need test

tubes. You need industrial scales.

tubes. You need industrial scales.

Official history feeds us tales about so-called ner plantations.

Supposedly, peasants and monks for years piled manure, urine, and organic waste into heaps, waited for crystals to form there, and then scraped them off. Sounds

disgusting, but plausible?

No. Categorically, no. Any chemist will tell you that with such a crude method, you'll get a dirty mixture of calcium and sodium nitrates, which is incredibly hyroscopic.

It instantly absorbs moisture from the air. Such gunpowder will turn into mush

air. Such gunpowder will turn into mush an hour after production. It won't fire.

To turn this dirt into potassium nitrate, suitable for shooting, a highly complex technological process is needed.

leeching with wood ash, multiple recristallization, temperature control.

Where in the 14th century did they get factories for purifying chemical reagents? Where are the huge vats made

reagents? Where are the huge vats made of stainless materials so that the acidic environment doesn't eat them through? Where are the measuring

through? Where are the measuring instruments that allow controlling the purity of the product to hundredths of a percent. They show us engravings where

percent. They show us engravings where bearded men pound something in mortars.

But this is cargo cult. This is

imitation.

It's impossible on one's knee to obtain a substance of such purity that won't burst the cannon barrel on firing, but will give uniform gas generation.

If even a little magnesium or calcium impurities remain in the salt beater, the gunpowder will get damp. If there's

extra water, it won't ignite. If the

proportion is off by 5%, there will be no shot.

And so we look at the historical chronicles. Firearms appear and

chronicles. Firearms appear and immediately, suddenly they work. There

are no centuries of failed attempts. No

chronicles about how armies perished because their gunpowder turned into mush in the rain. They shoot. They destroy

bastions.

Where did this technology come from in ready-made form?

It's like if a smartphone fell into a Neanderthal cave and they learned to crack nuts with it and then suddenly figured out how to charge it. Gunpowder

is not just a mixture. It's a product of advanced chemical industry that requires logistics, extraction of rare minerals, and deep understanding of molecular

bonds.

Let's look at the geography. To make

quality gunpowder, high purity sulfur is needed. The main sulfur deposits in

needed. The main sulfur deposits in Europe are Sicily, but wars are fought everywhere. Are you saying that in the

everywhere. Are you saying that in the Middle Ages, when roads were muddy and carts traveled at a pedestrian speed, there existed a perfect logistics network for delivering thousands of tons

of pure sulfur across the entire continent, and no one intercepted these caravans?

Or maybe sulfur was also extracted magically from the air. We're told they were inventive, but inventiveness doesn't repeal the laws of physics and chemistry.

Inventiveness doesn't replace the absence of an industrial base. Another

shocking detail is gunpowder granulation.

Initially, as historians assure us, powder pulp was used, just dust.

But dust burns instantly, creating monstrous pressure in the breach of the barrel, bursting the cannon. For the

cannon to fire, rather than explode, the gunpowder needs to be granulated, turned into grains of a specific size. This

allows the fire to spread gradually, accelerating the projectile down the barrel. Granulation technology is a

barrel. Granulation technology is a complex mechanical process. How did

medieval masters learn about gas dynamics?

How did they know that the burning rate depends on the surface area of the grain? This is the level of 19th or even

grain? This is the level of 19th or even 20th century physics. But cannons were firing already in the 14th.

We face a paradox. We have the result, mass use of artillery and small arms, but we lack the base for this result. We

have no chemical factories in archaeological digs of that time. We

have no chemistry textbooks from that period describing substitution reactions. We have only the end product

reactions. We have only the end product and primitive tales about monks.

This makes you think, what if gunpowder wasn't invented? What if they just

wasn't invented? What if they just started producing it following preserved instructions without understanding the essence of the process? What if this is the legacy of a civilization that came

before us? A civilization for which

before us? A civilization for which nitrate synthesis was as commonplace as baking bread is for us.

Look at the ancient fortresses, star forts scattered all over the world.

Officially, they were built for protection against cannons, but their geometry is so complex, the volumes of earthworks so colossal that questions

arise. Who and with what built them? And

arise. Who and with what built them? And

most importantly, from whom were they defended?

If artillery developed gradually, then fortification should have changed slowly, too. But we see perfect forms

slowly, too. But we see perfect forms right away, as if someone knew in advance the destructive power the weapons would have. All this adds up to

one picture. We are looking at the ruins

one picture. We are looking at the ruins of a high-tech world that we adapted to our primitive needs.

We are savages who found a warehouse of the god's weapons. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you dig deeper into the statistics and figures of

gunpowder consumption in the famous wars of the past, your hair stands on end.

The production volumes attributed to artisal workshops are physically impossible even on modern equipment without automation.

They didn't just deceive us about dates.

They deceived us about humanity's capabilities.

They imposed the idea of progress on us to hide the fact of degradation.

We are not climbing upward. We are

clambering over the ruins of giants trying to figure out how their tools worked. We move from theory to the harsh

worked. We move from theory to the harsh reality of numbers. And it's here that official history starts to crack at the seams like old fabric. Historians love

to draw us battle maps, arrows of advances, and fancy uniforms, but they panic at questions about logistics.

Let's take a calculator and simply calculate what's needed to supply just one single artillery battery from the times of say Peter the Great or Napoleon.

This is simple math that destroys the myth of artisal gunpowder production.

Take a standard field gun of that time.

To fire a castiron shot weighing, say 12 lb, it requires a gunpowder charge weighing roughly half or a third of the

shots weight. That's 4 to 6 lb of

shots weight. That's 4 to 6 lb of explosive per single bang. In a serious battle, a cannon fires up to 50 and

sometimes up to 100 shots per day.

Multiply that. One gun consumes up to 660 pounds of gunpowder in one day of fighting. And now remember that in those

fighting. And now remember that in those armies there were hundreds and sometimes thousands of guns. Add to that tens of

thousands of soldiers with musketss.

Each soldier carries a cartridge pouch.

Gunpowder consumption in a general battle is measured not in sacks but in wagons. We're talking about tens and

wagons. We're talking about tens and hundreds of tons of highquality explosive burned in a single day.

Hundreds of tons.

And now let's return to the manure heaps they tell us about in school. To get one pound of salt peter from manure and waste using the method described in

textbooks, you need to process cubic yards of organic mass. The ripening

process of the nighter heap takes 2 to 3 years.

Think about those timelines. 2 years of rotting, urinating on it, and turning it with pitchforks to get a handful of crystals that still need to be purified.

If you believe the official version, all of Europe, all of Russia and Asia should have been covered in a continuous layer of manure heaps. Peasants weren't

supposed to sew grain or raise children.

They were supposed to collect excrement around the clock so that kings could fight for a couple of days. There is the concept of the biogenic limit. The

amount of nitrogen that can be extracted from the biological waste of humanity and livestock of that time is physically limited. The population was small.

limited. The population was small.

Cities were tiny by modern standards.

There was no sewage.

How did they collect millions of gallons of urine needed for ammonia and salt peter production? They had no plastic

peter production? They had no plastic barrels, sistns, or pumps. Wooden

barrels were expensive and not airtight.

Can you imagine the logistics of collecting urine from the population on a state scale? Hand in a bucket, get a coin. That's absurd.

coin. That's absurd.

No historical documents confirm the existence of a gigantic feal collection industry comparable to the scale of gunpowder consumption.

But that's not all. Suppose they somehow miraculously collected rivers of filth.

For salt peter production, pot ash, potassium carbonate, is needed. It was

obtained from wood ash. To get one pound of pot ash, you need to burn a ton of specific types of wood. for example,

wormwood or sunflowers or hard deciduous trees. Now, compare the scales. To

trees. Now, compare the scales. To

supply gunpowder for, say, the Crimean War or the wars of the 18th century, all the forests of Eurasia would have needed to be burned to the root. Europe should

have turned into a bald desert by 1600.

But we see dense forests in paintings of those years. Where did the potach come

those years. Where did the potach come from? Where did the charcoal for the

from? Where did the charcoal for the gunpowder itself come from? This is an ecological catastrophe that didn't happen, although calculations show it

was inevitable with that technology.

Moving on, technological identity.

If production was artisal, if every monastery or every powder yard brewed its own potion in vats, then the product quality should have varied catastrophically.

Gunpowder from Bavaria should have differed from gunpowder from Tula like night and day. Different charcoal,

different degrees of salt peter purification, different granulation.

But artillery is an exact science. An

artilleryman needs firing tables. If the

gunpowder is strong today and weak tomorrow, you'll never hit the target.

The shot will overshoot or undersshoot.

However, we see that artillery was frighteningly effective. This means the

frighteningly effective. This means the gunpowder was standardized. It was of uniform quality everywhere.

How can you achieve standardization of a chemical product in different corners of the world without unified standards, without the internet, without lab analysis?

This is possible only in one case. if

the source of gunpowder was centralized or the technology was completely different independent of the human factor and rotten manure.

There's another point that leaves historians speechless. The price tag. If

historians speechless. The price tag. If

gunpowder production was such a laborintensive, long and complex process, its cost should have been skyhigh.

One cannon shot should have cost as much as building a house. Wars should have been rare, short, and very economical.

But we read the chronicles. The canonade

lasted 3 days. The city was showered with thousands of bombs.

They spent this precious, most complex resource as if it cost pennies. As if

they had an unlimited faucet pouring out explosives.

The economics of war don't add up. It's

impossible to conduct prolonged campaigns if your ammunition requires 3 years of manual labor to produce. That's

economic suicide.

But kings and emperors waged wars for decades without going bankrupt.

That means gunpowder was cheap for them.

That means they didn't make it from manure for years.

They took it readymade.

Look at the star fortresses again from the defense perspective. They are

designed to withstand massive volley fire walls. Wall thickness, inclination

fire walls. Wall thickness, inclination angles, everything is calculated to counter monstrous kinetic energy. If

gunpowder were scarce, no one would build such megalomaniacal structures.

Why build a bunka against a nuclear bomb if the enemy has only a bow and a couple of expensive firecrackers?

The fortifications of the past scream to us. We feared weapons of mass

us. We feared weapons of mass destruction. We feared endless

destruction. We feared endless ammunition.

And here we come to a terrifying guess.

The official salt peter sulfur charcoal scheme is possibly a decoy scheme or more likely a degradation scheme. Maybe

at some point humanity really learned to make bad, dirty gunpowder artisally, trying to imitate what was once abundant. Imagine you found a warehouse

abundant. Imagine you found a warehouse with perfect cartridges, used them for a hundred years, and when they started running out, you tried to make your own

using stones and matches.

That's the transition from perfect to artisal that we see in history, although it's presented to us as progress.

Remember the so-called Greek fire, inextinguishable flame that burned fleets? The recipe was lost.

fleets? The recipe was lost.

How can you lose the recipe for a weapon that guarantees victory? It's

impossible.

Recipes don't get lost if they're needed for survival. They disappear only when

for survival. They disappear only when the reagent itself runs out, which can't be reproduced.

The same could have happened with the true gunpowder.

What they fired in the Middle Ages might not have been black powder at all, but a complex chemical compound whose stocks simply ran out by the 19th century,

forcing scientists to urgently invent pyroxylene and dynamite as replacements.

We stand before a fact. The material

balance of history doesn't add up. The

amount of gunpowder produced on paper is orders of magnitude less than the amount exploded in reality.

This is the gunpowder gap, which can't be filled with manure. Someone supplied

these endless wars.

Someone put weapons of terrible power into the hands of mad rulers, knowing they couldn't reproduce them. We

continue our investigation, and now that we've understood that manure heaps and urine couldn't supply Emperor's armies with tons of explosives, the main question arises.

Where did they get it from? If they

didn't produce it, they found it. And

here we enter territory that forces us to reconsider the entire architecture and geography of the Middle Ages and early modern times. Let's look at those

called the inventors of gunpowder.

Monks.

Bert Holz was a monk. Roger Bacon was a monk. Jesuits in China. Why precisely

monk. Jesuits in China. Why precisely

servants of the church? We're told they had free time and access to libraries.

But let's take off the rosecolored glasses. Monasteries and temples in

glasses. Monasteries and temples in those times were not just places for prayers. They were fortresses. They were

prayers. They were fortresses. They were

secure facilities built on the ruins of more ancient cyclopian structures.

What if the monks didn't invent gunpowder, but simply guarded the entrances to underground chambers where stocks from a past civilization were stored? In ancient treatises, there are

stored? In ancient treatises, there are astonishing lines. It says that salt

astonishing lines. It says that salt peter was swept out and scraped off from the walls of caves, cellers, and old stone masonry.

Think about it. Official science

explains this by nitrogenous bacteria settling in the stone and producing salt peter. But any chemist will tell you

peter. But any chemist will tell you that for the formation of industrial volumes of crystals on walls, specific conditions are needed. and most

importantly source material.

Stone doesn't produce nitrogen on its own. For walls to sweat salt peter for

own. For walls to sweat salt peter for centuries, they must be saturated with it through and through. Or perhaps these structures were originally built as

chemical storage facilities.

Or even more terrifying, the entire soil under old cities was impregnated with something left over from a global catastrophe. And people simply gathered

catastrophe. And people simply gathered these poisonous efflloresences like we gather mushrooms after rain. There

existed a whole cast of people, so-called salt peter makers or burers.

They had royal charters allowing entry into any house, any yard, digging up sellers and stables. They sought nighter

earth. This was state rakateeering.

earth. This was state rakateeering.

Imagine people bursting into your home, ripping up floors, and starting to dig the ground in the basement, claiming it's strategically important.

This doesn't look like production. It

looks like mining minerals. They were

literally sucking the remnants of chemistry out of the soil that was saturated with it as a result of some grandiose event in the past. Maybe it

was ash, fallout from a war of the gods.

We don't know exactly, but we see that the resource was exhaustable.

By the 19th century, the Earth stopped yielding salt peter, and only then did the convulsive attempts to create synthetic analoges begin. Now, look at

the star forts. We're used to considering them fortifications, but why is their shape so complex?

Why these rays, these strange water-filled moes?

What if they weren't fortresses?

Look at them like an engineer. These are

perfect reservoirs or giant chemical reactors.

The geometry of star fors suspiciously resembles crystallizer schemes or settling tanks of treatment facilities.

Perhaps it was here in these giant stars that the ancient civilization produced or stored its energy carriers. And

gunpowder is just the degraded, dried, clumped remnant of that fuel that the ancestors used.

People came to the ruins, found a strange powder in the casemates of the stars and realized it burns. It explodes.

it burns. It explodes.

They called it potion and started killing each other.

This explains why most old powder mills were located precisely on the territory or near such star-shaped structures.

They didn't build factories. They just

packaged what they found. This explains

the monstrous explosions of powder magazines that wiped entire cities off the face of the earth. Brussia, Delft,

Leiden.

Chronicles describe explosions of such power that they resemble tactical nuclear strikes.

Mushroom clouds, shock waves knocking down stone buildings miles away.

Ordinary black powder, even in large quantities, burns relatively slowly. To

get detonation of that force, you need something more powerful. Perhaps in

these ancient stoages was stored not just powder but unstable high techch explosive whose shelf life had expired.

Remember the legend that the Chinese used gunpowder only for fireworks. We're

told this is because they were peaceful philosophers.

Nonsense. If you have a weapon, you use it. But what if the Chinese knew the

it. But what if the Chinese knew the truth? What if they knew that this

truth? What if they knew that this substance was a sacred or dangerous remnant that couldn't be used for war,

lest you awaken ancient evil? And the

Europeans, barbarians who lost their memory, began stuffing this substance into their primitive pipe guns. We

behave like children who found a grenade and decided to play ball with it. And

here's another mystery. Lead logistics.

Bullets require lead. A lot of lead. In

the Middle Ages, roofs of temples and palaces were often covered with lead sheets.

Why? It's expensive, heavy, and impractical.

Lead flows in the heat. But when wars began, these roofs were instantly removed and melted down. It feels like the lead on roofs was a strategic

reserve left in plain sight.

Someone distributed resources so that survivors could quickly arm themselves.

This is like caches for a post-apocalyptic world. Everything was

post-apocalyptic world. Everything was prepared. Powder warehouses in star

prepared. Powder warehouses in star forts, metal reserves on roofs, ready stone building shells.

We arrived to it all readyade.

Notice the quality of artillery.

Bronze cannons of past centuries are masterpieces of casting, exquisite ornaments, perfect barrel geometry.

And yet, we're told they were made by the same people who didn't wash for years and believed the earth was flat.

The technological gap between weapon quality and everyday living standards is simply colossal.

This is impossible within natural evolution.

Technologies usually develop evenly. You

can't have a space rocket and live in a cave. You can't cast perfect cannons and

cave. You can't cast perfect cannons and die of chalera due to lack of sewage.

This dissonance screams to us. Weapons

and gunpowder are not our achievement.

They are spoils of war. We stole

technology from the dead. We scraped out their warehouses. And that's exactly why

their warehouses. And that's exactly why wars were so bloody and endless. The

resource was there and it was free.

Kings didn't need to create complex economies. They just needed to control

economies. They just needed to control the extraction sites of gunpowder earth and fortress ruins. All geopolitics of

the 16th through 18th centuries was a struggle for the legacy for maps of ancient bunkers. Perhaps the famous

ancient bunkers. Perhaps the famous libraries that burned one after another were destroyed on purpose to hide the sources

so no one would learn that the great inventors were just lucky looters.

But any warehouse eventually empties. By

the mid-9th century, stocks of ancient gunpowder and nighter earth began to run out. And that's when something amazing

out. And that's when something amazing happens. The so-called industrial

happens. The so-called industrial revolution in chemistry begins.

Suddenly, as if by the wave of a magic wand peroxin nitroglycerin and dynamite are invented.

Why not earlier? Why did they sit on black powder for a thousand years and then create everything in 50 years?

Because the freebie ran out. They had to really use their brains and create a chemical industry from scratch to replace what they used to take with a shovel from the ground. This transition

from found to created is clearly visible on graphs of wars and armaments.

Gunpowder quality changes, tactics change. We stopped being parasites and

change. We stopped being parasites and became poor students.

And here we approach the most terrifying part. If gunpowder was a remnant, then

part. If gunpowder was a remnant, then what was that civilization that left it?

And why did it disappear?

Traces of melted stone in fortresses, strange glass fields in deserts, first floors of buildings buried in clay all

over the world. These are all links in one chain. Gunpowder was part of a vast

one chain. Gunpowder was part of a vast technological system that we destroyed with our wars.

We used fuel for spaceships or tunnel boring machines to shoot castiron balls at each other. We are savages who burned

the library to keep warm.

But what if there's a plan behind all this? What if we were deliberately

this? What if we were deliberately supplied with this weapon and made to forget where it came from?

We have reached the line beyond which the history of wars ends and the history of global cleanup begins.

If we accept the fact that gunpowder wasn't invented but found and that its stocks were colossal but finite, then the entire picture of 18th and 19th

century events changes beyond recognition.

We stop seeing political conflicts between countries.

We see a single planned operation to destroy traces of the previous civilization.

This is that very great reset that alternative researchers whisper about, but which academics panic at the thought of acknowledging.

The wars of that time were not battles for territory. They were the demolition

for territory. They were the demolition of dilapidated planetary scale housing.

Think about why so many ancient ruins and majestic buildings look as if they were exploded from the inside.

Why do the Colosseum, the Parthonon, and the ruins in Palmira have traces of pinpoint destruction that catapults or early cannons couldn't inflict?

Official history says barbarians dismantled them for bricks.

Have you tried dismantling monolithic masonry into bricks without a jackhammer? It's Cisophian labor. It's

jackhammer? It's Cisophian labor. It's

much easier to fire new bricks than to chisel thousand-year-old concrete.

No, these buildings were destroyed by powerful directed explosions.

And it was precisely that found gunpowder, or more powerful explosives that we ignorantly call gunpowder, that became the tool of this demolition.

Look at the demographic statistics.

This is perhaps the most terrifying bomb planted under the foundation of official science.

We're told that the Earth's population grew smoothly, but the graphs show an unnatural explosive vertical surge in population precisely in the 19th

century.

How is this possible?

The whole world is at war. Napoleonic

wars, Crimean War, civil war in the United States, uprisings in China, millions of dead soldiers, devastation,

famine, epidemics, and the population doubles and triples.

This is biological nonsense.

Women couldn't give birth to 10 children in conditions of total war and unsanitary conditions, and survival rates couldn't be 100%.

Where did these billions of people come from? The only logical explanation

from? The only logical explanation within the reset theory, we were seated or unpacked.

We are descendants of those who survived in bunkers or those artificially grown to repopulate the empty planet after a catastrophe.

And so that these new people, deprived of memory and technology, wouldn't ask extra questions. Everything that

extra questions. Everything that reminded of past greatness had to be destroyed. Aqueducts had to be blown up,

destroyed. Aqueducts had to be blown up, domes demolished, first floors buried in clay, and called it a cultural layer.

Gunpowder became the eraser with which history was wiped away. Remember 1816,

the year without a summer. Officially,

we're told eruption of Mount Tambora.

Supposedly, one volcano in Indonesia covered the entire planet with ash so that snow fell in Europe in June and birds froze in mid-flight in the United

States.

But climatologists know to cause such a volcanic winter, the eruption would have to be dozens of times more powerful.

Now put the puzzle together.

If at that time there was a global war using that very superpower or remnants of God's weapons, then the volcanic winter turns into a nuclear winter or a

chemical winter.

The sky was blocked not by volcano ash, but by smoke from burned cities and forests, dust from exploded megaliths.

These were the consequences of the cleanup.

It was precisely during this period that great tartery disappeared from maps. A

vast territory marked in all encyclopedias as a sovereign state suddenly turns into a blank spot into wild lands.

Where did its cities go? Where did its population go? They were erased. They

population go? They were erased. They

were destroyed with that very weapon that historians shily call cannons with black powder.

But we see traces of melting on the bricks of old forts. We see the so-called glass fortresses in Scotland and France where the stone flowed like wax.

The melting temperature of granite is over 2,200° F. Black powder doesn't produce such a

F. Black powder doesn't produce such a temperature in open burning.

Something else was at work here.

Something that we, the new people, found, used up to the last capsule, and forgot.

The reset required complete erasure of memory. Therefore, after the catastrophe

memory. Therefore, after the catastrophe and war came the era of falsification.

The ruins needed to be explained. They

invented the Roman Empire which supposedly built all this thousands of years ago. They invented the Mongol yoke

years ago. They invented the Mongol yoke to justify the desolation of lands. They

invented the dark ages and gunpowder. It

had to be legalized. They had to urgently compose a fairy tale about the monk Beer told to hide the fact that explosives were simply dug out from ancient warehouses. If people learned

ancient warehouses. If people learned that they were fighting with their ancestors legacy, they would start searching for these warehouses, they would understand that they live on the

ruins of a more advanced civilization.

The authorities didn't need that. They

needed obedient slaves who believed in linear progress.

Look at the architecture of the mid-9th century. a sharp drop in quality. After

century. a sharp drop in quality. After

the masterpieces we attribute to antiquity or the Renaissance, they suddenly start building crooked, slanted, shabby buildings from poor quality brick. Technologies were lost

quality brick. Technologies were lost instantly.

This is not style degradation. This is

the death of masters.

Those who knew how to build perished in the fire of the reset. Those who came to replace them are us. We learned to lay

bricks a new. We learned to make gunpowder a new mixing manure with charcoal because the stocks of high-tech mixture ran out. We live in a

postapocalyptic world. All our ancient

postapocalyptic world. All our ancient cities stand on buried foundations.

Underground floors, windows, doors leading nowhere. This is not a cultural

leading nowhere. This is not a cultural layer. These are traces of a flood that

layer. These are traces of a flood that they tried to hide. And gunpowder played a key role in this. Did they blow up dams with it? Did they cause landslides

with it? Or was it merely a byproduct of

with it? Or was it merely a byproduct of the energy that caused the cataclysm?

Perhaps the star fors were generators of a protective field and their destruction became the main goal of the war. As soon

as they were shut down and blown up, the world became defenseless against the elements.

Notice how quickly the world transitioned from horses to electricity and steam right after the gunpowder era.

As if someone opened a slle of knowledge. As if we, the new people,

knowledge. As if we, the new people, were given the next portion of technologies as soon as we proved our loyalty by destroying the traces of the planet's previous owners.

We passed the obedience test. We erased

the memory of the giants. We rewrote the books. We blew up their temples.

books. We blew up their temples.

And in reward, we received the steam locomotive and the telegraph.

All our history is a history of amnesia.

We were brainwashed that we are the crown of evolution, that we invented gunpowder, flew to space, and created the internet. But the truth is that we

the internet. But the truth is that we are looters on a graveyard. We use

scraps of what was before. And that very black powder, smoky, dirty, unstable, is the symbol of our lie.

We attributed its invention to ourselves so as not to admit to theft. But there

are things that cannot be hidden.

Material science doesn't lie. Chemical

analysis doesn't lie.

Old cannons made from steel that we only learned to smelt in the 20th century.

Buildings assembled without cement that stand for a thousand years. Maps showing

Antarctica without ice.

All this screams that the chronology is broken. And gunpowder is that very fuse

broken. And gunpowder is that very fuse leading to the barrel of truth.

What if the wars of the 19th century were not wars of people against people?

What if it was a war of people against nonhumans?

Or a war of surviving elites against the feral population?

The use of weapons of mass destruction disguised as regular artillery explains the millions of casualties and empty cities in mid-century photographs.

Have you seen those photos? Empty

streets of St. Petersburg, Paris,

London.

Where are the people? Where did they go?

Maybe they were afraid to go out because there was a threat in the sky that they didn't tell us about. Or the cities were dead and they were only to be repopulated.

The elites who seized power after the catastrophe of the 18th 19th centuries faced a legitimacy problem. They were

looters who occupied palaces they couldn't build and used weapons whose principles they didn't understand.

To secure their right to power, they needed to become inventors and enlighteners.

They couldn't tell the people, "Look, we found warehouses of explosives from ancient gods, and now we'll kill you with them." That would cause rebellion

with them." That would cause rebellion and fear of those who created this weapon. It was much safer to invent a

weapon. It was much safer to invent a fairy tale about the genius monk Bertld Schwarz.

This made the technology human, understandable, and most importantly, reproducible in people's minds, even if

it was impossible to reproduce in practice. The myth of gunpowder became a

practice. The myth of gunpowder became a smokeokc screen, hiding the fact of global redistribution of property.

The wars thundering across the planet were not just conflicts over borders. It

was inventory and cleanup.

The new masters of life using the found stocks methodically destroyed the remnants of resistance from the old civilization.

That very great tartery or vadic empire about which all mentions were erased.

They blew up cities to hide traces of different architecture. They destroyed

different architecture. They destroyed infrastructure they couldn't control.

Star forts, which perhaps were free energy stations or portals, were turned into primitive bastions for cannons and then completely buried under Earth so that no one would guess their true

purpose.

And now the scariest part. The stocks of found gunpowder ran out by the end of the 19th century. It was precisely then that the world frantically began

searching for a replacement.

And it was precisely then, note, that the gallant wars ended, where armies met in open fields, total trench, dirty wars

began.

World War I is a crisis of the genre.

It's the moment when the freebie ran out and humanity had to fight with what it could really synthesize with its crooked hands, poisonous gases, and unstable

dynamite. We saw the true face of our

dynamite. We saw the true face of our progress. It was ugly and bloody, devoid

progress. It was ugly and bloody, devoid of that elegance with which the armies of the past destroyed each other using the perfect weapons of the ancients.
