Follow @messagetoeagle MessageToEagle.com - In the beginning of 1974, a strange object was brought to light by a group of construction workers digging in the area of central Romania. The discovery was made at the depth of approximately ten meters, in the sediments of the river Mures, 2 km east of Aiud and about 50 km south of Cluj-Napoca, former capital of Transylvania. This artifact was discovered together with very ancient bones, (including the jaw) of a mastodon, in a sand pit under a 35-foot-thick layer of sand.



Mysterious object, approximately 1mm thick and covered with a layer of aluminium oxide was discovered in Aiud, Romania. It's considered to be millennia old.



Such an extraordinary finding raises interesting questions which cannot be answered easily.

At first, the finding appeared to be a dark stone, but after removing the thick crust of sand from its surface, it was revealed a metal object of unknown origin.

The specimen is 20.2 cm long, 12.7 cm wide, 7 cm high and has a circular depression (4 cm in diameter) in the center. Another smaller hole with a diameter of 1.7 cm and perpendicular to the first exit is on the other side of the mysterious object.

This side and the two side panels show evidence suggesting that they may have been obtained as a result of very strong shocks. Was it once a part of a larger tool? Still the purpose of this tool remains unknown.

Two fin-shaped protrusions at the end of the artifact are clearly visible, but their purpose is unknown.

At the beginning, no one was particularly interested in the artifact, so it landed in a storage room at the Historical Museum of Transylvania and remained there unnoticed for 21 years.

It was not until 1995, the piece of metal, weighing 2.3 kilograms was "rediscovered" and analyzed.

A detailed metallurgical analysis conducted at the Institute for Research of Minerals and Metals in Turnu Magurele, a city located south-west of Bucharest, has revealed that the object in question was extremely complex and consisted of an alloy of several elements, such like:

89% aluminum,

6.2% Cu copper,

2.8% Si silicon,

1.8% Zn Zinc,

0.4% Pb Lead,

0.3% Sn tin,

0.2% Zr zirconium,

0.1% Cd cadmium.

Additionally small parts of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), bismuth (Bi), silver (Ag) and trace amounts of gallium (Ga) were also found.

The object was composed largely of aluminum (89%), a metal often found in nature, however, not only in pure form, but the state of bauxite, from which most aluminium is extracted.











As we know, the aluminium was discovered in 1825 by H. C. Oerstred and produced for the first time on an industrial scale in France in 1854.

However, it would take years upon years of deliberate research to find an efficient method to unlock the metal from its ore and even more years to create a production process that would allow the metal to be commercially practical.

For the production of aluminium you need a complicated industrial process, electrolysis, and temperatures above 900 � C.

This mysterious object found in Aiud, which is considered at least tens of thousands of years old, was covered with a layer of aluminum oxide about 1 mm thick.

"Aluminium" knowledge was apparently rediscovered by us quite so recently.

So, what is this old artifact?
