Glozel
|
Glozel is a village in central France, part of the commune of Ferrières-sur-Sichon, near Vichy.
Beginning in 1927, a series of discoveries were made of clay tablets and various artifacts. Some items were reportedly Neolithic.
The items discovered were different from either ancient French or Roman items discovered nearby, and began a series of claims and counterclaims. Some regarded the items as authentic, while others concluded the items were hoaxes.
Some claims about the Glozel items, such as proposed connections to Atlantis, would probably be considered pseudoscience by mainstream experts.
