Mégalithes de Gornaya Shoria
In 2013, Georgy Sidorov's expedition popularized the theory of cyclopean "super-megaliths" weighing 3,000 tonnes, built by an unknown civilization in Siberia. Geology refutes it: the granite massif produces natural orthogonal joints (fractures at ~90°) that divide the rock into rectangular, right-angled blocks — a classic tor and koppie phenomenon, with no trace of tools, quarrying or transport.

Ce que dit la science
Joints orthogonaux naturels du granite : forces tectoniques et décompression créent des fractures s'intersectant à ~90°, divisant la roche en blocs rectangulaires mimant une maçonnerie
Formations classifiées par la géologie régionale comme crêtes de dénudation (blocs granitiques in situ) — pas de transport ni de taille anthropique
Altération sphéroïdale : l'eau circulant dans les joints arrondit les angles (corestones) ; absence totale de traces d'outils, de carrières ou de voies de transport à proximité

RéfutéRoute de Bimini
At 5 meters' depth off North Bimini, a 0.8 km row of rectangular limestone blocks looks like a paved road. Geology settles it clearly: it is natural beachrock, a tropical phenomenon documented throughout the Caribbean basin. The controversy was born in 1968 from a calendar coincidence with an Edgar Cayce prophecy, and from our brain's ability to see order where there is only fluid physics.
RéfutéSphères de Klerksdorp
Metallic-looking spheres extracted from the pyrophyllite mines of Ottosdal (South Africa), about 3 billion years old and bearing parallel grooves, fueled the myth of an OOPArt manufactured by a civilization or extraterrestrials. In reality, these are ordinary geological concretions — pyrite, hematite or wollastonite — formed by aqueous precipitation in sediments; the grooves are merely imprints of fine sedimentary laminations, explained since 1988.
Vase de Dorchester
In June 1852, Scientific American relayed a short item from the Boston Transcript: a black-powder blast in Dorchester (Massachusetts) had allegedly uncovered a metallic vase in Precambrian rock — imagined proof of a vanished civilization. The refutation is categorical: the object is identified as a 19th-century Indian bidriware hookah base (a twin piece is catalogued at the Victoria & Albert Museum, no. 137-1852); it fell into the blast debris rather than being extracted from the rock, and the 1852 article itself gives no geological dating.
