Aluminium Wedge of Aiud The Mysterious Object

In 1974 a mysterious object has been found 2 kilometers East of Aiud, Romania on the banks of the Mures river. Upon examination, the object – which resembled a hammer head – later known as Aluminium Wedge of Aiud. Based on an article written by Boczor Iosif (a contributor to Hungarian paranormal magazines), it was reported to be unearthed 35 feet under sand and alongside two mastodon bones. It is composed of 89% aluminium covered by a thick oxide layer. It was examined a second time in Lausanne, Switzerland, with the same results. The object also allegedly taken to the Archaeological Institute of Cluj-Napoca to be examined, where the thickness of this oxide layer is said to be confirmation that the object is anachronistic, at least three-hundred or four-hundred years old, while the mastodon bones at least 11,000 years old. Apparently, the alloy of the wedge is composed of 12 different elements. 

Aluminium Wedge of Aiud

 

The aluminium wedge of Aiud is often cited as “proof” that aliens visited earth at earlier times, because aluminium was not discovered until 1808 and not produced in quantity until 1885. Aluminum is abundant in the earth’s crust but it is always combined with other minerals and the wedge predates the technology used to extract it. An aeronautical engineer suggested that the wedge is similar to the foot of landing gear used on spacecraft. The scientific community believes ‘the wedge was made on earth and its purpose is not yet identified’. Most scientists, however, believe that this object is a fake.
