12 Most Mysterious Archaeological Finds Scientists Still Can't Explain

They say seeing is believing and maybe that's true, but seeing is definitely not understanding. Just because we can see something doesn't mean we really know what we're looking at. This is a common problem that

scientists

and archaeologists face when they find relics from our world's distant past, they may know a little about who built it or when it was built, but they don't always understand how or why all the discoveries in this world. video left experts with more questions than answers In 2007, a team of Danish contractors replacing sewage pipes on Sealand Island made a discovery that shook them to the core.

Under a building that once belonged to a butcher was a skull. At first they thought it was a normal human skull, which would have been disturbing to find by accident anyway. but upon closer inspection it was like nothing they had seen before. It is too large to be a normal human skull and does not fit the skull of any known animal on Earth. The skull was taken to the University of Copenhagen for study and experts. It was found to be around 800 years old, but it couldn't be said what species it came from, to make things even more

mysterious

.

The pipe that was found inside had been laid less than a century ago. Sealand Island is known as the former base. of a cult known as the Order of Pegasus as a collection of writers and poets that supposedly included William Shakespeare and Thomas Jefferson as members in the past their duties were said to include guarding and protecting bones from extraterrestrial visitors could this be proof that the cult If not, what else could it be? Near the town of Asuka, in the Nara prefecture of Japan, you will find the ancient tomb of Cateura, a sacred place with a very strange set of decorations on the ceiling.

All experts who have studied it agree that it is a map of the night sky that includes 68 different constellations, some of which have stars highlighted in gold leaf as if to indicate that they are more important than the other stars around them. There are even visual circles drawn around the map that seem to indicate the movement of the Sun and Earth which would be an impressive achievement for any ancient astronomer, but the mystery doesn't end there. The tomb of the Cateura is generally thought to have been created in the 7th or 8th century, so why does it show the map on the ceiling? the position of the stars as they would have appeared about 400 years earlier not only are the stars in the wrong place that is how the night sky would have appeared from China, not Japan, but it is out of place and out of time, and We have no idea why many of us played with toy cars when we were little, our parents probably played with toy cars too and our grandparents too.

It would be a little strange to hear that children played with toy cars 5000 years ago because the car had not yet been invented, however, they were this small ornate toy car made of earthenware that was found in Turkey in 2017, based on its size, It is likely intended to be a children's toy and as such is easily the oldest toy car ever found. It might even be the oldest toy of any kind ever discovered. That honor belonged to a 4,000-year-old baby rattle discovered in a series of cult cash registers in 2014, but this one is a thousand years older and could have rolled on flat surfaces. without any problems and was

most

likely made for the son of an aristocrat, a high-ranking politician or possibly even a monarch.

Finds like this remind us that our ancient ancestors may have been more like us than we often imagine. Whether thousands of years ago or thousands of years in the future, children will always need toys to play with. You can see our next puzzling historical artifact at the Pergamon Museum in Germany, but it rose from the earth in Europe, an ancient city and

archaeological

dig site in an area now belonging to modern Iraq Urich was once a major population center of the Sumerian civilization that existed 5000 years ago. They have left many strange wonders for us to find, but none can be as strange as this sculpture.

Why would they enclose a statue of a bearded man inside a highly decorated sphere if the sphere had not broken during its many years underground, the figure inside would be completely invisible. Is this supposed to symbolize a ship or traveling machine of some kind? If so, could there be some truth? According to ancient legend, our ancestors used to travel through the skies in machines known as Vimanas. Many ancient Hindu and Sanskrit texts contain references to this type of machine, so we should not overlook the possibility that this sculpture represents one of them in action. You think we don't see much about the Dongseong culture in our history books, but 3,000 years ago they were an important civilization ruling an area that is now divided between Vietnam and China.

We don't know much about them, but we do know that they had an exceptional talent for decorative design work. Several examples of their ritual drums have been discovered in the past, but their glassware is even more impressive. They seemed to have a fascination with a shape similar to the letter C that represented it over and over again. in a variety of different glass colors and textures, but we have no idea why even on smaller pieces we see the C shape, perhaps intended to secure the objects to something else, they could even have been earrings, but no There's a way the larger pieces could have been worn that way, they could have been necklaces to wear around the neck, perhaps, but why would you make a glass necklace?

The quality of the craftsmanship is incredible, the glass is perfectly smooth and rounded even though dongseong wouldn't. We have not had sophisticated tools to create the shapes with the development of aerial photography and sonar imaging that have allowed us to see things that were previously hidden from ground level or invisible to the naked eye. In the late 1990s, these technological advances allowed us to discover a previously unknown ancient city near Novosibirsk in the Siberian region of Russia because it was built on the shores of Lake Sheekha. The previously lost city was named Chika Berg as soon as the contours and boundaries of the settlement were identified, archaeologists and

scientists

descended on it.

The site to take a closer look at what they found was surprising. Tests revealed that Chicha Borg was built somewhere around 2,800 years ago, long before any great civilization was known to have existed in Siberia, not only that, but it appears to have been a large ancient utopia. Large, large-scale palaces were built directly adjacent to the houses of the common people, as if there was no difference between the two. Remains of Europeans and Mongols have also been found at the site, which seems to suggest that they lived in harmony alongside each other. Who were these? people and what happened to them in their city the precise moment when humans as we understand them today first appeared on the planet is one of those fun topics that scientists like to debate among themselves

most

of their estimates are within a few thousand years of each Others, none of them would ever suggest that there were humans walking the Earth 200 million years ago and yet here is a 200 million year old shoe print, perhaps some Of them would like to think again that the print was found in 1917 and is therefore not a secret. and it has been studied closely enough to confirm that it was made from a leather shoe that contained stitches and that there was a human foot inside that shoe.

The footprint was found by geologist John T Reid in Fisher Canyon, Nevada, USA. He knew the significance of what he discovered. and spent the rest of his life trying to persuade mainstream scientists to take his discovery seriously, they never did and

still

don't, that could be because they know that if they do they will have to rewrite the entire timeline of human existence. On this planet, while scientists aren't especially interested in taking a closer look at that footprint in Nevada, they are even less interested in the larger source; For many historians, the writings and engravings on the side of the jar make it so significant that it should be compared to the famous rosetta stone.

The official story of Fuentemayors' discovery is that a farmer bought it in the puma punku of Bolivia in 1950 and was He brought it home as a water jug ​​for his pigs, at some point he must have realized that it might be historically important because in 1975 it was stored in a museum in La Paz. The experts were curious about the writing on the side of the jar, but were also wary of the idea that it could be a dr. Clyde Winters says it's not fake. He says that the text resembles both Semitic and Sumerian early cuneiform forms and could therefore predate both.

He also sees similarities between the design here and the designs on the side of the petechiae monolith. If he is right, he suggests that the ancient Sumerians managed to travel to Peru and we have underestimated them as a civilization, while many

archaeological

finds

have to be discovered or dug into the ground, others are simply standing in the open waiting for someone to notice them. The gallery wall fits that. description has never been hidden has been on display in western Iran for over 1500 years but no one thought to pay attention to it until recently the wall is huge from one end to the other stretches for over 70 miles and contains over 35 million of square feet of stone, this was a monumental building project for someone, but we don't know who, much of the wall has collapsed now, but by studying the shape and construction we can be sure that it was once ten feet high For its entire length and was over ten feet thick, those are the properties you would want from a strong defensive wall, perhaps one large enough to defend an entire kingdom, but there was no Kingdom here to defend anything in the Gowri wall area. he suggests that a major civilization once existed there, why would someone go to such lengths to build a gigantic wall in the middle of nowhere?

Lake Constance is enormous, the vast body of water covers 200 square miles and borders Austria, Germany and Switzerland, in the center of Europe. At the bottom of that lake the secrets of an ancient European culture could be hidden. In late 2019, a team of archaeologists working on the Swiss side of the lake reported an exciting new discovery: a series of artificial stones 15 feet below the water's surface. Apparently laid there deliberately about 5,500 years ago, which would make them the work of a Neolithic culture that had no problem working with giant chunks of rock up to 8 feet thick, it's no wonder the media is starting to refer to it. to this site like the Swiss site.

At Stonehenge, all the stones are placed at regular intervals and run perfectly parallel to the coast, although there is no doubt that humans placed the stones there, we don't know why they might have been intended to function as a dam or perhaps as signposts. for a business. or transportation route, more research is required if we ever want to know for sure. In 1737, French geographer Philippe Wash de la Nouvelle mapped the area between the Antarctic Pole and the Tropic of Capricorn and in the process did one of two things: either he omitted a very important detail from an otherwise very detailed or revealed that he had knowledge of something that no one else knew.

People are

still

debating that issue today. The map now known simply as the wash map is unique because it shows Antarctica as it would be without ice. In addition to being a traveler, Philippe was a theoretical geographer who used various methods, such as astronomy, studying the diaries of other travelers and his own observations to predict the location and apparently unknown areas of land. Fanciful, but his methods correctly predicted the existence of the Bering Strait and also Alaska. It is not believed that he himself ever approached Antarctica, so he would have relied on astronomical observation or the diaries of other travelers to report on the map he drew how he arrived.

He knows in such detail what the continent would look like without ice, whose maps and journals he used to create the design. Was he familiar with any ancient maritime civilization whose records have been lost to time? The name of our next artifact. It is misleading, it is called the Dresden Codex but it is not of German origin, in fact it is a relic of pre-Columbian Mexico and was most likely created in Chichén Itzá or its surroundings during the 11th century. It's a nice thing to see, but it's a more detailed study. This could be cause for concern.

Some of the people who have given their full attention to thecodex fear that it is a prophecy that predicts the date, time and nature of events that will bring about the end of human civilization on planet Earth. The less traumatic nature tends to believe that it is simply an astrological chart used to predict solar and lunar eclipses. The Codex closely forecasts the movements of astral bodies that would have been visible to the naked eye at the time of its creation, including the moon, Sun, and Venus. Of course, people who think it's just an astrological chart will look very foolish if the end of the world occurs on the date that proponents of the doomsday theory predict will be the end of the world in 80 years, something that You I really want to be right, subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications and you will be the first to know when a new video comes out.

Thanks for watching and see you soon.
