The third millernium magnetite
The Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus wrote in the 6th century B.C. that according to Aristotle, the magnetic stones have a soul because they can move and tighten iron. They where named from the ancient Greek "lithos magnes», as Pliny explained in his “Naturalis Historia” (77 a.D.), after the shepherd Magnes on Mount Ida, who dug the ground to find what was attracting his iron stock and the nails in his shoe around 900 BC. The Gargarians, now called the Chechens, then lived on the highest peak of that mount Ida, while the Dactyles, now called the Ingushetians, lived at the foot of the same mountain.
Three millenniums after Magnes discovered the magnetite, Soviet scientists lifted the mystery of how some Caucasians people could live 150 years, when most people rarely lived more than 50 years. They discovered that the magnetite in their mountains can double the life expectancy of all living beings ; that the fish swimming in magnetized water are bigger than those living in plane water and that plantations watered with magnetized water provides 30% more crop than those watered by plane water. The continuation of their researches enabled them to create the magnetic fields at the origin of the storms of rain that has covered the land of the Arabs with meadows and rivers.
