Great Humanity Misunderstandin

The above story is not one of a kind. They say that some five or six thousand years ago, two moons could be seen in the night sky above the Earth. This was so until the catastrophe happened, which is told by the legends and myths of many peoples of the world: "Stars fell from heaven, crossing the sky with a fire plume, the earth rumbled, trembled and cracked, shaken by tremors. The world was crumbling. " The consequences of this disaster were a shift of the Earth's axis by 30 degrees, tectonic shifts and, possibly, flooding of large land areas.
But because of what and how did all this happen? Perhaps the answer to this question lies in Argentina. Here, at the same time, the mystery of Atlantis will be found ...
The Campo del Cielo district - "Heavenly Field" - is located in the north of the country. This name recalls an ancient Native American legend, which tells how a mysterious ball of fire once fell from the sky at this very place. Old chronicles claim that the Spanish conquistadors found on Campo del Cielo a huge piece of iron, which was used to make swords and spears.
In 1576, the Spaniard Erman Mexico de Miraval, among the marshy lowlands of Gran Chaco, five hundred miles north of Santa Fe, came across a large block of iron. After that, the enterprising Spaniard drove four more times to a block for iron and beat off small fragments from it for various needs. The fifth and last expedition to the iron block was organized by don Rubin de Selis in 1783. He estimated the mass of the iron fragments at 15 tons. True, no one else saw him for some reason, although attempts to find him were made more than once.
In 1803, a meteorite weighing about a ton was discovered in the vicinity of Campo del Cielo. Its largest fragment weighing 635 kilograms in 1813 was delivered to Buenos Aires. It was later acquired by the Englishman Sir Woodbine Darysh and presented to the British Museum. This block of cosmic iron still rests on a pedestal in front of the entrance to the museum. Part of its surface is specially ground so that you can see the structure of the metal with the so-called "Widmannstetten figures", indicating the extraterrestrial origin of the object.
The remaining fragments of the meteorite again disappeared in the unknown. Probably, the locals fussed.
An unusually large number of meteorites found in a relatively small area indicates that several thousand years ago a whole "meteor shower" poured over the Earth, leaving many craters in the Campo del Cielo area. The "meteorite field" has the shape of an ellipse, elongated 17 kilometers along and 6 kilometers across. The largest crater is the Laguna Negra; It has a diameter of 115 meters and a depth of more than two meters.
One way or another, the legends and finds of Campo del Cielo in 1961 became interested in an American scientist from Columbia University, U. Cassidy. The expedition undertaken by him discovered a large number of small metal meteorites, the so-called hexaderites, consisting practically of chemically pure iron. At the same time, the scientist drew attention to a strange fact. Usually, when a large meteorite explodes in the atmosphere, its fragments fall to the Earth, scattering with an ellipse with a maximum diameter of about 1600 meters. And at Campo del Cielo, the diameter is 17,000 meters!
Cessidy’s published preliminary findings have caused a sensation. Hundreds of volunteers came to him. As a result of their searches, new fragments of meteorite iron were discovered even at a distance of 75 kilometers from the "Heavenly Field".
The final conclusion reached by the Cessidy expedition was this: a huge meteorite did not fall to Earth from near-solar orbit, as is usually the case. Before the fall, this celestial body circulated in an elliptical near-earth orbit, gradually approaching the Earth. That is, in other words, this body was the second satellite of our planet!
