Slag pits were recessed into the ground, and the tube for furs was at ground level.
In 1953 the miners of the mine, ... Underground coal production, made by unknown miners had no communication with the surface and were so old that the entrances to the mine have been destroyed by erosion.
Professor at the University of Utah E. Wilson spoke about it this way:.
Without a doubt, these passages are made by human hand. Despite the fact that the outside, there was no trace of them, tunnels, apparently, were from the surface to the point where they intersect the current design... There is no apparent reason for dating the tunnels.
Professor of Anthropology at the University of Utah Jesse D. Jennings denied that these tunnels could pave the North American Indians, and did not know who were the ancient miners:.
First, to perform such work requires the direct needs of the area in the corner. Before the white man came, all goods transported by human porters. As for the terrain, there is no evidence that the Aborigines in the area of burned coal mines Uottisa.

In China, the extraction of copper was carried out since ancient times. To date, Chinese archaeologists have studied the 252 vertical shafts, descending to a depth of 50 meters, with numerous horizontal galleries and lazami. At the bottom of adits and shafts were found iron and bronze weapons, once lost miners. Copper deposits have been developed from the bottom up, as soon as the ore in the tunnel drying up, was arranged a new, located above the vertical shaft of the mine. As the ore is delivered to the surface in baskets, waste rock from the new galleries, not to pick it up, just discharged down into the abandoned generation. The galleries were covered forked sticks of burning bamboo, stuck in the wall.
There are numerous ancient mines in Russia and the former Soviet Union. The old mines have been discovered in the foothills of the Northern Altai Minusinsk Basin, near Orenburg, Lake Baikal, the Amur River in the southern Urals, in the basin of the river Ishim, in some areas of Central Asia and the Caucasus, and Ukraine. A. P. Levitsky has published a pamphlet in 1941, ... In the ancient faces of many mines were discovered stone hammers of hardwood, made in the form of a polytope or a flat cylinder. For spalling ore were bronze pickaxes, wedges and chisels. In some mines were found skeletons of dead people.
In 1961, close to Arkhyz (Western Caucasus) on Mount Pastuhova geologists have found the old mine. In. A. Kuznetsov, who studied mining, said:.
Ancient miners... and rudoznattsy acted with great knowledge of the matter: they went on the vein, and chose all the lenses and accumulations of copper ore, without dwelling on minor stained. Awareness for the time startling, because no special scientific knowledge on the geology and mining does not exist. Already in ancient times people knew how to skillfully lead a sort of geological exploration, and to this end studied hard ridges.

The mines were operated at about the 1 st half of the III millennium BC. e. , The largest mining accounts for XIII-XII century BC. e. ; Production stopped in V-VI centuries AD. e. in Western Siberia and in the XI-XII centuries AD. e. the Middle and Northern Urals. When drifting mines Chud ancient miners used stone hammers, wedges, pestles, grinders, horn and bone picks, brass and bronze, then iron picks, picks, hammers, wooden troughs, beams, ladders, baskets, leather bags and gloves, clay . Mining pits, usually began zakopushkami, poring down dip deposits of 6-8 m, usually held funnel-shaped, slightly sloping and tapering down the mine, sometimes a small section of the gallery, and on the veins - the unit vectors. The depth of excavation was on average 10-14 meters, and some reach a significant size (eg, a copper mine near the town of Orsk, 130 meters long and 15-20 meters wide ), as the ore was carried out in them for hundreds of years.

The number of small mines and pits zakopushek in Russia in the thousands. There are many ancient quarries and mines, where copper is extracted by a progressive stripping method: ore deposits of the removed soil, and mine was developed at no additional cost. To the east of Orenburg region known for two of mine: Ush- Kattyn (four ancient quarry with piles of copper ore, the largest of which has a length of 120 meters, a width of 10-20 meters and a depth of 1-3 meters ) and Yelenov ( 30 x 40 meters . Conducted mineralogical and geochemical studies revealed that copper- tourmaline ore, similar Yelenov, were a source of raw materials for steel production in the ancient town of Arkaim.
In the Chelyabinsk region in 1994 found an open pit mine of Thieves, which is located between the rivers Zingeyka - Kuysak, 5 kilometers from the village Zingeysky. Ancient to develop a rounded shape, the diameter of 30-40 meters, a depth of 3-5 meters and is surrounded by piles of waste rock. According to experts, the mine produced about 6000 tons of ore with a copper content of 2-3%, of which could be obtained about 10 tons of metal.
Traces of ancient mine workings exist in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. In the area of Lake Issyk -Kul in the fields of gold, polymetallic and tin ore in 1935 had found traces of ancient mining.
In 1940 geological expedition under the direction of E. Ermakova found in hard ridges of the Pamirs horizontal drift with the ramifications of about 150 meters in length. His whereabouts geologists said local residents. In the ancient development of the mineral scheelite was mined - tungsten ore. Along the length of stalagmites and stalactites that formed in the drift, geologists have established the approximate time of excavation - 12-15 thousand years BC. e. Who needed the Stone Age, this refractory metal with a melting point 3380 ° C, is unknown.
A very large extent on the ancient cave mine Kanigut in Central Asia, it is called ... They mined silver and lead. On examination of the workings in 1850 found a large number of moves and decayed wooden props, which served to strengthen the arches of an artificial cave. The length of a huge mine, which has two exits to the surface, spaced at 200 meters, is about 1.6 kilometers. The path on the maze from one input to another takes at least 3 hours. According to local legend, when Khudoyar Khan sent back the criminals sentenced to death, and if they returned without money, they were killed.
The total volume delivered ... For example, in Central Asia in the field Kandzhol (... Earlier in the mines of mined silver and lead. The total volume of mine waste dumps - up to 2 million cubic meters, the amount of visible mines - about 70,000 cubic meters. The field Dzherkamar discovered more than a hundred ancient mines with large dumps near them. The total number of old workings Almalyk - 600. The volume of excavated rock is more than 20 000 cubic meters.
Dzhezkazgan copper deposits in Kazakhstan, newly opened in 1771, developed in prehistoric times, as evidenced by the huge piles of waste rock and traces of mining operations. In the Bronze Age there were produced about one million tons of copper ore. From Assumption mine was extracted 200,000 tons of ore. In the area of Dzhezkazgan were produced around 100,000 tonnes of copper. At the present time in Kazakhstan discovered more than 80 deposits of copper, tin and gold-bearing ores, which were used for the extraction of metals in antiquity.
In 1816 an expedition led by the mining engineer and. P. Shangina found extensive ancient refuse heaps in the area of Ishim. The report says:.
Mine... This was a rich source of industry for working on the development of its....
Shangin roughly estimated the waste rock at Mount Iman: the weight of old dumps about 3 million pounds. If we assume that the mined ore was smelted only 10 % of copper, the resulting metal weighed about 50,000 tons. There are estimates of production of copper, based on an analysis of mine waste dumps, according to which the amount of copper extracted in ancient times, is about half the capacity of the entire field. Thus, in the distant past were produced around 250,000 tonnes of copper.
In 1989, the Russian Academy of Sciences of archaeological expedition led by Professor E. H. Chernykh studied numerous ancient settlements of miners in the steppes Kargalinskiy (Orenburg region), dating back to IV-II millennia BC. e. The total surface area with traces of old mine workings is approximately 500 square kilometers. During the excavations have been found homes of miners, many molds, the remnants of the ore and slag, stone and copper tools and other items, indicating that Kargalinskaya steppe was one of the largest mining and metallurgical centers of Ancient. According to archaeologists, from the old mines Kargaly was extracted from 2 to 5 million tons of ore. According to the calculations in Prospector. Mikhailova, only Orenburg mines of the Bronze Age were extracted as copper ore, which it would be enough to melt 50,000 tons of metal. For unknown reasons, in the II millennium BC. e. copper mining was discontinued, although the mineral reserves are not depleted.
Cossack officer F. to. Nabokov in 1816 was sent to the Kazakh steppe to identify old abandoned mines and mineral deposits. In its report ( ...
Mine Anninsky... has been processed by the ancient peoples all over. Bund, with these developments made , now covered with dense forest, and occupy about 1,000 square yards of add... pits contained in one pood of 1 to 10 pounds of copper, silver, except for. For the approximate calculation, mine still has to sign the ore around 8000 cubic yards, or up to 3 million pounds of... Baron Meyendorff found different characteristics of copper ore at the Jilek and Berdyanke. This last mine, it seems, was described by Pallas. He calls it the saiga, and says that it has been found well preserved, a lengthy and in many places developed by an ancient tunnel, at which the clearing to find a cake fused copper smelting pots of white clay, and buried the bones of the earth workers. Immediately found many pieces of petrified wood, but did not see anywhere else sign smelters.
Judging by the total volume produced in the ancient mines of copper ore and tin, the humanity of the Bronze Age was just to fill up a products of copper or bronze. Copper in the distant past was carried out in such quantities that it would suffice for the needs of many generations. Nevertheless, the graves of notable people archaeologists have found only a few items of copper, which at that time was valued very highly. To disappear ... It is interesting that in the many ancient mines were found traces of melting furnaces. Apparently, the processing of ore into the metal was made in another place and centrally. There is nothing improbable in the fact that the aliens are using the free labor of slaves - miners who mined in this way the minerals from the bowels of the earth, and exported them to their planet.
