Mexico we gotta TALK. Some artifacts were found that make no sense whatsoever.
26 Obsidian spools have been found in Mexico City, and they’re actually a HUGE problem to explain because these guys are made of obsidian. Which normally looks like an arrowhead when you work on it.
Flint and obsidian were used as cutting tools because they are brittle and sheer into sharp blades, but the best explanation for these was that they were ear spools. These are milimeter thick glass that would shred your ear if it broke.
There are two problems that haunt the explanations of Ancient History, scale and precision. These artifacts were found in tenochtitlan, modern mexico city. It used to be the venice of America.
These were found in tenochtitilan, Modern day Mexico City.
They are currently attributed to the Aztecs, but the Aztec word for craftsman is named after the Toltec Empire and found with a ton of other artifacts from theirs and others across mesoamerica.
Calling these expert crafts would be an understatement. They’re translucent and less than a mm thick with near perfect circular symmetry in a brittle glass, uniformly, all the way around. Perfect roundness with perfectly consistent wall thickness.
Theres even a rock crystal spool which is much harder, and way less forgiving than even obsidian.
in 1970, 2 researchers at the UC Berkely tested the spools. The tolerances are tighter than hand filing in metal.
What That means is, if you were trying to achive that precision, on a flat surface, with modern tools on something more forgiving like metal, the human hand is incapable of movements that precise.
If these are extremely hard to produce we would see one of two things, a machine that could produce these without failure or ton of debris from the broken artifacts. We see neither, and gain more mystery.
Versadoco is the channel who documented this, you can find all the sources there.
