't exist Walking with dinosaurs some things are certain the world is round I make amazing videos based on facts and dinosaurs they became extinct 65 million years ago or became extinct. This ancient mosaic in the Italian city of Palestine implies that it is considered the most complete example of Nilenic landscape that has ever existed as an art form depicting the Nile River from a non-Egyptian perspective, but that's not why I'm telling you.

I'm showing. Can you see anything out of place? No, how about this little one here? It looks something like a dinosaur. Couldn't this be evidence that terrible lizards roamed Egypt as recently as 2,000 years ago? Years ago, well, according to some people, some religious fundamentalists say that the Mosaic proves that the Earth is much younger than commonly believed. H, but look again, it's definitely a dinosaur or maybe an otter. Most scholars agree that this is the most likely explanation for the section of the mosaic in which the creature is depicted represents Nubia, an area known for its large species of otters and considering that there is virtually no other evidence suggesting that dinosaurs once walked among men, I'm inclined to agree that, that said, compared to humans, that would have to be it. a huge otter, what do you think?

Let me know in the comments. zard draw Deep in the Algerian desert lies a vast sea of ​​dunes floating in the middle of them the ruins of a fortified village called zard dra, the extremely strange structure remains a complete mystery. It just doesn't make sense to archaeologists why it was built here in the middle of nowhere, when it was built, how its inhabitants were connected to civilization, all the questions that no one has solid answers to, we know that the structure was built with defense in the mind is made clear by its massive 26t inner walls and 6.6ft outer walls what the inhabitants needed to protect themselves from, although it is less clear: a single solitary Jewish symbol resides on one wall, leading some to To say that Algerian Jews may have once lived there potentially to escape prejudice or simply live in a secluded studio, but we can be sure, and this air of mystery is exacerbated by several strange legends surrounding the fort.

It is said that a group of Americans traveled there with the help of some guides back in the 1980s, when when they arrived, they asked the guides to leave them alone for a week. No one knows what they were looking for or what they found inside, but apparently when the guides returned, the Americans were nowhere to be found. The creepy Zard Dra gives you the strange horror movie Vibes. It is not like this? I'm definitely scared of all that isolation you would visit. Let me know in the comments. The Globe D Venci. The world was not widely accepted as round until about the 15th century.

Since then, millions of balloons have been created to illustrate. the fact, but what was the first author and historian Stefan Mine says that an ostrich deposited it in 1502 H what he found at a London map fair in 2012 this extraordinary globe at first seems like a kind of impossible biological enigma, but in reality It is made from the joined lower halves of two a coveted possession in Experts agree that the unique and highly detailed map is probably the oldest globe depicting the new world that is America that we have discovered. Mine, now owner of the ostrich. The globe goes a step further and says it was made by the famous Renaissance artist and inventor Leonardo.

D Venci himself, if so, would be one of the most important

finds

of the 21st century. In fact, there are clues that it was put together by the big DCI. It is believed to have originated in Florence, where he spent much of his life, and the style of engraving is also characteristic of DCI. What's more, DCI actually implied that he created a globe in some of his writings. The game matches well. Some cartographers point out that the engravings present on the globe are beyond the skill of DCI and that there is not enough mention of the New World.

In his writings he suggests that he would go to the trouble of making an entire globe to represent it. Either way, it's still a notable find, even if its origins remain a bit enigmatic. My channel is much less enigmatic. I'm always uploading entertaining videos like this. one, so why not go down and hit the like buttons and subscribe that way you'll never miss one again. Ready, okay, moving, moving over Doom's skull, are you a fan of Indiana Jones? Well, I have good news for you. I like it only that instead of old graves. I loot the Internet in search of lost treasures like crystal skulls.

That's right, they are very real. The most famous is the Mitchell Hedges skull. Supposedly discovered by Anna Mitchell Hedges, adopted daughter of daring explorer Frederick Mitchell Hedges in the ancient Mayan city of Luban Tun in the 1920s, exquisitely carved from 11 pounds of clear quartz, the artifact implies that the ancient Mayans had access to skills of stone cutting much more advanced than previously thought, it is also said that the skull has a series of magical properties according to Mitchell Hedges, it can cure cancer, cause intense visions and even people die due to this, it is the heard, the creepy nickname, the Doom skull, how did it end up in an ancient Mayan ruin?

Well some people believe that the Mayans were much more advanced than we realized or even that the skull proves that they could use ancient magic long lost, well that's a fun idea, claims that the skull has strange powers have no meaning. foundation to a large extent, in fact, we are not even sure it was found in Luan tun. expedition there in the 1920s, but no one else who participated remembered seeing the skull and for good reason it turns out that Frederick Mitchell Hedges actually bought it at auction in 1943 for $18,000 in today's money, damn it, Anna and Frederick had lied about it being an ancient Mayan artifact which casts doubt on all of their other fantastic claims.

In fact, an examination of the skull in 2008 revealed that it was carved with diamond tools that were not available to craftsmen in the pre-Columbian era, rather than suggesting that the Mayans had any secret knowledge, this is more likely. I want to say that it was created for later, probably around the 1930s, there is no ancient magic here back then, but I must say that it was a great paperweight, the crying mummy in 2021. Archaeologists at the National University of San Marcos were exploring an underground Peruvian tomb when they made a chilling discovery, a deeply disturbing mummy thrashing in the fetal position with its hands covering its face as if the person had been terrified, the image sending the internet into a frenzy.

I mean what the hell could have happened to the poor person as creepy as it is. There seems to be a reasonable explanation that the person lived between 800 and 1200 years ago, before the Inca Empire that ruled much of South America before European colonization, which implies that the Mummy's strange arrangement is the result of a belief in reincarnation. Pre-Ink and Peruvian culture burying someone in the fetal position prepared them to be born in the next life, since it was believed that to facilitate rebirth, the person was covered with a cloth and tied with a rope as a way to prevent death.

Decomposition and the incredible condition of the mummy means it clearly worked, so it's actually not as unusual as it seems at first glance, let alone creepy. The mummy's position is probably the result of a loving community dealing with its past in a healthier way than it thought. Viking visitors. Italian explorer Christopher Columbus is widely recognized as the first European to make contact with America in 1492. Scandinavian Vikings visited the western continent centuries earlier, but never went beyond Newfoundland or at least that's what we think. Let me introduce you to the main Penny, this unremarkable looking coin. It was discovered during an

archaeological

dig at Gard Point Maine by amateur archaeologist Dr.

Guy Melgren in 1957, but it soon became clear that it was nothing extraordinary. The penny dates back to the 11th century and bears the crown figure of King Olaf III of Norway that makes it. a Viking coin, but wait, wait, there had only been evidence that the Vikings landed in Newfoundland about 400 miles from Maine, so how on earth could the coin have gotten there if the Vikings actually explored more of the new world than they thought? what did we think? change our whole idea of ​​history as we know it, however, it's not that boring people or skeptics think it was carried out by later European settlers and not the Vikings themselves, and as much as I don't want to believe that in Absence of any other Viking artifacts in the area is probably true, that being said we just don't know for sure the coin is a mystery, one thing is for sure although it is a true illustration of how complex North American history really is. , which worries the hooves.

They have been used by humans since about 2500 BC. C. I mean they're pretty useful, but while most helmets are worn as a form of defense and some are more baffling, like this absolutely crazy Japanese headdress once worn by a 16th century samurai, just by looking at it, it would be Forgiven for thinking it's a joke, however, there is a method to the madness: the octopus is a common motif in Japanese folklore because some octopuses can heal their severed tentacles. Samurai may have believed that wearing an effigy of one offered additional protection; conversely, octopuses were a source of fear. for Japanese maritime navigation, so the hull could also have been designed to intimidate the enemy.

In addition, it is made of gold to convey the state of wear. The octopus can even be removed for practicality on the battlefield. Well, mystery solved, however, there is another helmet that is still far away. More confusingly, this extremely strange looking thing was supposedly given to King Henry VII by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I and if you think it's a strange gift, you'd be right as the horns would have been associated with the heartbreakers of fools and even cuckolding, which is where a husband has an adulterous wife, so yeah, it doesn't really seem like the kind of thing you'd give to a powerful king known for offending his wives.

It makes everything from wrinkles and runny noses to ridiculous glasses that make everything look. designed to embarrass the user, but maximilan the first was Henry's ally on 8 H, could it have just been a joke? It seems unlikely. I'm stumped on this. If you have any ideas, let me know in the comments below Vikings Venture When you think Vikings, you probably think of big, bearded, strong men, you might also think of the sea or the incredible gods of northern mythology. I mean, the Vikings worshiped the ancient gods of the north, some mind-blowing finds suggest some were actually Muslims, huh?

From Viking burial clothing embroidered with the Islamic god Allah to evidence that Arabic coins were used as currency in Viking Britain, it is increasingly clear that there was a complicated Muslim Viking relationship. One of the most fascinating items was found in March 2015. This ring was discovered in The tomb of a 9th century Viking woman in burqa Sweden is made of colored glass, a rare and invaluable material in Sweden at the time, but that is not It's the most interesting. Note the small inscription here which says "Allah" in Arabic and is in remarkable condition, meaning the woman was probably the sole owner, therefore the Scandinavian Vikings must have had direct contact with Muslims in the Middle East.

The owner of the ring could even have been one of the first converts to Islam in northern Europe. Wow, this shows that Vikings weren't all Vikings. about drinking food in raiding villages, the sacred hole maker, the sacred spear, the spear of leness, the spear of destiny, however you know it, this legendary artifact is most famous for supposedly piercing Jesus Christ in the side after his crucifixion, oh, and they tell Grant that too. He has the ability to rule the world nicely, but even if the Spear really existed, there is no way it would exist now. Well I have news for you, there are actually four, yes, fourrelics that have been named after parts of the earth.

The first is a supposed fragment resting beneath this finest silica statue of St. Peter in Vatican City, although the Catholic Church does not formally recognize its authenticity. Pope Benedict XIV claimed to have seen a drawing of the original Lan point in the mid-18th century and said that the fragment matches it. The second contender is located in the imperial treasury in Vienna. This legendary spear is an incredible condition and was once highly revered as the Spear of Destiny itself, but it can be disqualified. Special technology has been used to date it. until the 8th century, long after the crucifixion of Christ, then there is a spear head and a shapot vargar.

Armenia is said to have been brought there by one of Jesus' disciples and is now in a museum on open display, although the oldest evidence we have to support his claims is from the 12th century, so I'm not convinced the latest relic is in the ancient Turkish city of Antioch. It is said that in 1098, during the First Crusade, Saint Andrew visited a monk named Peter Bartholomew in a vision that revealed to Peter that the Spear was buried in the Church of Antioch and incredibly, when Peter searched there, he found it and brought it back. He throws it into battle to ensure a Christian victory.

We can't be sure how much of this is true, but it's likely that there was some kind of spear unfortunately, although we don't have one. I have an idea what happened to him, man, and here I was thinking that world domination would finally be within my reach.Russian Atlantis No video about strange archaeological finds would be complete without talking about the pristine ancient vases that Russian President Vladimir Putin , claimed to have found in the Russian equivalent of Atlantis. Yes, you heard that phrase correctly in 2011 after a series of publicity photo shoots that included the leader riding a horse and putting out forest fires in a plane Vladimir Putin went diving in the Taman Peninsula on the Black Sea coast in this adventure of his supposedly discovered two um for a special type of ancient pottery in the ruins of Fagor Fagor is known as the Russian Atlantis because it was partially submerged underwater, the problem, while Russian state television promoted the incredible find, in all the Elsewhere was quick to point out that the two jugs look suspiciously clean and free of traces of moss despite supposedly having been underwater for centuries, which doesn't make any sense, well, the president's own spokesman, Dimitri Pesov, He finally came out and admitted that it was all a setup.

The pods had been found a few weeks earlier, cleaned and then planted for Putin to pretend to find them as part of a propaganda push. The Ark of the Covenant according to the Bible God gave Moses 10 commandments inscribed on two stone tables and to house these tables a large chest of wood and gold was made. This chest became known as the Ark of the Covenant, one of the most sacred relics. The only thing is that the ark disappeared and no one knows where it went, if it even existed, unless you believe the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, who say they know exactly where it is.

Yes, according to the Ethiopian national epic, CRA Nast, the ark was. Brought to Ethiopia by King Menc, the first son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, he now rests in seus I usion deep in the chambers of the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, the only problem is verifying that this is Impossible, the Ethiopian Church prohibits anyone except the Ark's assigned guardian from seeing it, which he said during World War II the British historian Edward Endorf was able to access when he entered the church with a group of soldiers. His report is woefully unpromising.

Apparently the church has a wooden box that looks like the ark, however Endorf believed it was most likely a medieval creation similar to the replicas of the ark and other Ethiopian churches, but what do you think could have been wrong? Olol Andorf? Let me know in the comments the Nasca lines despite the name, the NASCAR lines. They have nothing to do with NASCAR racing, they are a collection of strange 2000-year-old lines carved into the Peruvian landscape near the city of Nasca, covering a colossal area of ​​190 thousand squares. The lines represent huge animals, plants, humanoid creatures and geometric patterns and are so mysterious.

Since they are impressive, we know how they were made by removing about a dozen inches of rusty, rusty rock to reveal brighter sand beneath, but we have no idea why they exist. Since they were discovered by pilots in the early 20th century, theories have varied enormously. some say they are there for astronomical purposes but astrophysicists have found no correlation between the markings and celestial bodies, others have even claimed they are landing pads for extraterrestrial life forms, unfortunately although even if this is true it seems that no alien took the bait. A dramatic historical event would have had a tremendous impact on the mythology of the indigenous Peruvians, which was not the case and UFOs capable of traveling through space would really need a landing strip anyway, probably not, instead the experts They calculate that they were probably made to be seen from the heavens by the gods of the Peruvian people.

They could also have played a role in pilgrimages where people followed the lines to reach a sacred place because the Nasca culture was prehistoric although we have no written records that They give us clues whatever their purpose, they are an incredible example of human ingenuity and you never know, maybe at some point Alens will show up, boy, will they be disappointed when they don't receive the welcome party they expected on their empty runways? Ceramic Panic Back in 1944, a German immigrant named Voldemar UD was In his hometown of Akaro, Mexico, he stumbled upon a strange find: a small ceramic figure of a human intrigued by the figure's unique appearance.

Fel rud paid a local farmer to help him search the land in case there were more of them and boy. There were around 33,000 more than the incredibly vast collection of figures discovered in an underground pit and included much more than just humanoids; There were also animals, dinosaurs and even what appeared to be UFOs, so what is good is that UL was convinced that the ceramics were ancient and, therefore, Young Earth Creationists were also enthusiastic about the models that They used them as evidence that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, if the ceramic figures are really old.

We take the lid off history as we know it, the only thing is that non-archaeologists who studied the figures found that they showed no telltale signs of age, there was no dirt in their crevices and, although some were broken, none of them They were missing no piece. Most damning of all, although it was revealed that the pit in which they had been discovered had been recently dug and was suspiciously close to where a family had been selling similar figures for one peso a piece, right, it's pretty clear to me that Yul rot was just an Opportunist looking for a little fame and he got it.

If you want to draw your own conclusions, you can go to Aomar today and visit the Ules Rud Museum, where many of the figures are still on display, although don't expect any mind-blowing revelations. regarding the age of the Earth, please, forbidden gummy bear, oh, I'm a gummy bear, yes, I'm a gummy bear, I'm a delicious and fun belly, sorry, I'm not a gummy bear, but this is, or at least it seems, one, wait. If that's not a gummy bear, what the hell is? That's a question initially posed to archaeologists when the strange Discovery was found in a Pete's swamp near Slups Poland in 1887; after some serious study, it is now thought that the delightful trinket was made more than 3,500 years ago, far away.

From being some kind of candy, it is actually an amber amulet that probably once belonged to a bear hunter, hence the shape, in fact, it is clear that it was masterfully carved, the artist molded the ears, the snout, the nostrils and eyes with astonishing precision. Peculiar to other finds of the period, signs of wear on the tail around a small hole suggest it was attached to a leash and worn as an amulet. Since its discovery, the funny little one has captivated the people of slupsk, who found it They nicknamed it the Amulet of Happiness. More recently, the city decided to honor the Bear by annually auctioning off a replica and donating the money raised to charities.

Perhaps even best of all, Twitter user bosier made silicone 3D models of the amulet with which he created molds to make edible cola-flavored foods. replicas, oh boy, okay, now I'm interested, as long as you don't mix a rubbery replica with an amber replica, which would be painful. The first computer. Inventor Charles Babage is credited by many with creating the first computer in 1871, simply called an analytical computer. Engine Babbage's device was powerful enough to perform simple mathematical calculations, but what if I told you that a much older computer existed? Well, that's a recreation if it were in better condition, but this is the real thing.

This strange device dates back to the 1st century BC. C. and was pulled from a shipwreck off the Greek coast of Antia 20 centuries later, known as the Antia Mechanism, its discovery sent the scientific and historical communities into an absolute frenzy. I'm sure it's not a Macbook, but it is a very complex gear mechanism. of which would not be seen again until medieval cathedral clocks were built many centuries later. Most likely, the ancient Greeks used it to predict astronomical positions and lunar and solar eclipses decades in advance. The inscriptions on the device reveal the 12 signs of the zodiac as well as the months and days of the ancient Egyptian calendar transcribed in Greek, the front of the device appears to have had a display of the cosmos in this way, a manually operated crank would have rotated the gears by turning the dials, which made it possible to determine the position of the sun and the moon on a given day, as well as accurately calculate the dates of eclipses, which is a pretty wild war, especially since no others have ever been found devices like this.

All fragments of the antia mechanism are now at the national level. Archaeological Museum of Athens, where a reconstruction of what it would have been like is also shown, but despite having been carefully studied, the strange computer still holds many secrets about who built it, why aren't there others? Could I run Mario Kart? There you have it. Surprising findings that impressed you the most and did I miss any that I should cover in part 2? Let me know in the comments and thanks for watching.
