The Wedge of Aiud

 

The Claim
Aliens left a piece of crafted aluminium on earth 10,000 years before humans discovered it.

 

The Aluminium wedge of Aiud is a seemingly cast aluminium wedge shaped object that was found on a construction site about 35 feet below the surface along with 2 mastodon bones.

 

The reason that the wedge is considered such an unusual find is that if it was in the same ground layer as mastodon bones that would make it no less than 11,000 years old, and since aluminium wasn’t discovered until 1825 due to the technique required in its smelting process, it raises the question “who made it”.

 

Of course there are those who straight away claim it was aliens, but the technology required to produce this type of metal is less than 200 years old, and there have been no sign’s through out history that any civilisation that’s ever existed has even come close to being advanced enough to produce it.

 

 

The reason no one could have produced it up until recently is because this is one metal that you cant smelt directly from its ore, as it doesn’t appear as an ore. The raw material, called Bauxite is found within types of clay and is dissolved out using various chemicals. It is then put through a machine that used electrolysis to extract the aluminium oxide particles, which then go on various other advanced processes before you get an actual bar of metal.

 

The wedge of Aiud is was named after its point of origin, Aiud in Romania were in 1974 a construction crew claimed they found it at a depth of 35 feet. This is the problem with the wedge being dismissed as nothing more than a piece of machinery by most people, as aluminium cant be carbon dated.

 

Perhaps the wedge is 11,000 plus years old, or perhaps its nothing more than a piece off some kind of construction machinery, but if it is as old as some say, then what could it be? maybe the foot piece off an alien landing craft or merely a tooth from an excavator machine.
