A golden model of an airplane found in South America looks similar to modern B-52 bombers

Have you seen what a B-52 looks like? There's no resemblance at all. Plus, the aerodynamics of the depicted object wouldn't allow it to fly.

Where is there at least one 100% proof that this is photoshopped? Where does it follow from, where is it visible that this is a photoshop? Proof please!

In all the "photos" with skeletons, several things immediately stand out:
- in the source images, the white balance, resolution, contrast, saturation, and brightness are not adjusted;
- the quality is very low, which allows the montage to be somewhat disguised (especially the underwater shots are so terrible that it's hard to even call them photographs);
- skelet6:
many minor errors, BUT
look at the shadows – the top man in a black shirt and hat is lit from the upper left corner of the photo, while the other people and objects are mostly lit from the lower left corner (the shadows in this photo are an absolute mess)...

It's not even about the photos, it's about our established perceptions of reality, which we fearlessly defend with enviable zeal and persistence.

Yes, we have an established perception that in reality we have ONE Sun, and it shines from one side, and the shadows cast should be parallel. Isn't that the case for you?

- skelet8 – the poor "archaeologist" had his fingers trimmed in length, but a sixth one was added – between the middle and index fingers:

But, of course, skeleton3 tops them all. The "master" couldn't even be bothered to do basic feathering:

The figure is outlined with a black contour, while feathering is what you do to remove that contour. These are the very basics of montage. Around the figure, you can see the rectangle where the editing was done. That's usually not done either; it feels like they weren't even working in Photoshop, but some really crappy editor. And couldn't they find a photo with better resolution?

All these signs indicate that either the person who made these collages was a catastrophic noob at graphics, or they did it deliberately to make it immediately obvious that it's a fake.

I tell you again, there are photographs dated from a time when Photoshop didn't even exist!

We scan them, apply the appropriate filters – of which there are plenty in Photoshop for every occasion – print them, and voila, if it didn't exist, now it will.

Photoshop? Go ahead, try making a photoshop like that.

LIKE THAT? Easy. 5 minutes. The guys there are clearly extra; we remove them.
