Gypsies

    According to the linguistic and genetic researches, ancestors of the Gypsies left the land of India in the amount that did not go beyond 1,000 people. Today there are about 10 million Gypsies in the world. Some scientists believe that Gypsies were Egyptians.

Sumerians

    Sumerians must be the mysterious people in the ancient world. We know nothing about their origin and nothing about the origin of their language. The Sumerians were rather advanced—they became the first in the Near East to use a wheel, to create an irrigation system and their unique writing. And besides, they were impressively good at maths and astronomy.

Maya

    Some scientists believe that they are connected to legendary atlantes (男像柱), others suppose their ancestors were Egyptians. It's thought that the Maya created an efficient agricultural system and had deep astronomy knowledge. Their calendar was used by other people of Central America. Maya applied the hieroglyphic writing (象形文字) system. Now it seems that the Maya came from nowhere and disappeared nowhere.
