400 million year old machine found in Russia [updated]

No search results coming up for this on ATS. Seems brand spankling new info.

Question is, how credible is it?
I'm looking up on Yuri Golubev and other sources, will post updates.

RUSSIA – An artifact 400 million years old has been discovered. The world’s first mechanical device! In the remote Kamchatka peninsula (map below), 150 miles from Tigil, Russia, University of St. Petersburg archaeologists discovered a strange fossil. The authenticity of the find has been certified. According archaeologist Yuri Golubev, the discovery surprised scientists. It was a machine. It is not the first time that an artifact, an ancient object, something like this is found in that region. But, surprisingly, the machine,at first glance, inlaid in rock looked like the remnant of a volcano. After analysis, it seems that it was made of metal parts that seem to form a mechanism, a gear which may be of a type of watch or computer. The pieces were all dated – 400 million years ago!

Would be crazy if that were true wouldn't it? That would change the current story we're being fed and really gives more credibility to a lot of what's been talked about here on ATS about advanced ancient civilizations.

Here are the sources:

Source #1
Source #2

UPDATE:

Found no professor by the name of Yuri Golubev on the St-Petersburg university website.
Professors with names starting from G

fossilized metal?

they look like crinoid stem fossils to me...not part of an ancient machine.

400 million years old? yeah right 400 million year old fossil of a dead sea creature is more like it .......besides the links you gave are nothing more than sites with fictional stories

Shows what we now about history! Very cool find, thanks for sharing S+F



Looks like mechanical cogs to me, not sure about the time dating but interesting.

Can't blame the op's source as it's on many sites but I have my doubts as to as it being old as said

Weekly World News...

The Bat Boy paper. So much fail...


EDIT: This thread can be moved to the hoax bin.

Source 1 is weekly world news
Source 2 is copy and pasted source number 1
Cant find any archeologist by the name of Yuri Golubev.
Do i need to say it?

The sources aren't credible at ALL unfortunately .. it would be great if it were true, but I seriously don't believe it .. if it were a real thing then I'm sure mainstream news would be talking about it as it would be a big find.

Yeah, im having hard time finding a this Yuri, there's a bunch of scientist with that name but nothing related to archeology.

Will check out a few more things before throwing that to the hoax basket but it sure looks like it.

Well this was real 'mysterious Antikythera mechanism' and survived under the sea.

I agree, I have just done a startpage image search of crinoid fossils and there are lots of pictures that look like the one that says it is a machine part.

Looking more and more like a hoax. I'll check on a few other things before judgement.

The Antikythera Mechanism is approx. 2100 years old, that's a lot easier to believe than 400 million year old gears, which do look suspiciously like crinoid fossils.

hm.. maybe some Russian members can help by getting another source? (something more credible) ? I would not rush to say "hoax" before getting some more info.

Those are Laudonomphalus regularis (Natural historical museum of Lille, north of France), Givetian, Denvonian.
Example of fossilized marine life: disjointed knuckles encrines... from the Crinoids species that are marine animals that make up the class Crinoidea of the echinoderms.



It was found in France and have nothing to do with Russia....
