"chain": "test",

You are synced to the testnet instead of the mainnet. Edit your bitcoin.conf and remove testnet=1 or set it to 0. Your bitcoin.conf file should be located in /home/USERNAME/.bitcoin/ you can edit it using the following command nano /home/USERNAME/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf press CTRL + O to save the file and CTRL + X to exit it.

I'm running bitcoin node on Raspbery pi.  it has an unusual nuber of blocks. The height should be around 566462 acording to  https://www.blockchain.com/explorer on March 10th 2019 around 12:00.

If I run command   "$bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo"  i get: 
{
  "chain": "test",
  "blocks": 1484155,
  "headers": 1484155,
  "bestblockhash": "000000000000009eb059a17a7f95da54652678ac6e87edc26212b50f7c1321ec",

    },
    {
      "id": "bip65",

      }
    }
  ],
  "bip9_softforks": {

    }
  },
  "warnings": "Warning: unknown new rules activated (versionbit 28)"
}

Can someone please check if these is ok? Why are the blocks and headers so high?
