contrary to what’s usually taught in school human history and Archaeology is quite interesting so much so that many discoveries will have you puzzled or OD from strange discoveries that made archaeologists do a double take to a mysterious hand imprint here are the 20 most stunning discoveries throughout human history number 20 neanderthals homon neanderthalensis or simply neanderthals are archaic humans who roamed Eurasia until about 40,000 years ago ever since Neanderthal 1 the first specimen was discovered in 1856 in the neander valley in what is now Germany most have been under the impression that neanderthals are primitive unintelligent and brutish pop culture in Hollywood also portray this predecessor of ours as an unevolved caveman however several discoveries have proved that contrary to popular belief and what’s perpetuated by fictional Creations neanderthals weren’t as un intelligent as many believe in 1990 researchers discovered several structures inside Brunel cave in Southwestern France about 1,080 ft from the Cave’s entrance it wasn’t until 2013 that the site was thoroughly studied and what we learned is quite surprising the structures discovered inside the cavern turned out to be structures built by neanderthals who once sought shelter in the cave these weren’t just random piles of rocks these were carefully constructed rings and mounds made from hundreds of stagma broken from the cave floor and arranged with purpose among these structures are over 400 stalagmites weighing nearly 2.5 tons for some bizarre reason neanderthals were compelled to create rings and structures using these heavy objects most likely for Spiritual purposes it’s astonishing that these stalagmite Arrangements were created an astounding 175,000 years ago making them among the oldest known structures made by human hands before we go on like this video smash the Subscribe button and click the notification Bell right now number 19 Cave of crystals at the turn of the century in the year 2000 the cave of crystals was discovered hidden 980 ft below the surface of nikah Mexico a photo of this cave could lead people into thinking it’s not real with crystals that dwarf humans reaching lengths of up to 39 ft and weighing as much as 55 tons sticking out from every direction it’s hard to imagine that such a place really exists on Earth for comparison the crystals here are the size of telephone poles incredible right so how exactly did this cave come to be the Cave’s extremely rare conditions allowed these crystals to thrive filled with mineral-rich water that remained at a stable temperature of about 136° F the cave created an ideal environment for selenite crystals to grow slowly undisturbed for hundreds of thousands of years and by slow I mean slow oh we’re talking up to half a million years as incredible as it is not just anyone can enter the cave of crystals without proper protection while the cave is kind to the growth of crystals humans can only endure its conditions for about 10 minutes before succumbing even scientists and explorers are required to wear specialized cooling suits and Ice to safely navigate the cave which is pretty much an alien environment the cave of crystals is just a chamber within the nikam Mind an operation that yields lead zinc and silver if the mine operation ceases groundwater will easily flood the cave of crystals once more preserving the crystals but making them inaccessible to human eyes number 18 fairy circles fairy circles they might sound mystical but despite its name these circles don’t have anything to do with fantasy so what exactly are they fairy circles are circular patches of land baren a vegetation encircled by a ring of stimulated grass growth creating a polka dot pattern across the desert each circle can range from 10 to 65 ft in diameter with a majority of them being found in highly arid grasslands in Namibia as well as several parts of Australia to this day we don’t know just what exactly causes these Barren patches of land there are two main theories however the first is an ecological Theory suggesting that the circles are the result of a self-organizing vegetation pattern according to this idea the harsh desert conditions spur the plants to arrange themselves in a unique pattern to maximize water availability the roots of the grasses around the circle potentially draw water toward the center but the center itself remains Barren possibly due to toxic substances present in the soil the second theory points to the possible role of termites some scientists believe that a species of sand termite is responsible for the circles consuming the vegetation and affecting the soil’s permeability to create these mysterious patterns the activity of these termites might prevent plants from establishing in the circle while simultaneously ensuring that rainwater collects in the soil below the surface benefiting the grass around the edges fairy circles can last an astonishingly long time up to 75 years or more and they follow a life cycle of formation maturation and eventually they disappear number 17 7,300 year-old fingerprint in an archaeological site in Northern Kuwait is a Shard of clay pottery nothing too special until you look at it closely and notice a distinct Mark fingerprints in the Neolithic period around the time when agriculture was transforming human societies someone possibly while crafting Pottery or handling a lump of wet clay left behind a fingerprint this seemingly mundane Act created a record not just of their existence but of their day-to-day life there’s a reason why fingerprints are important each person has their own unique fingerprints and these marks can tell us about an individual’s age and even aspects of their daily life for instance finer smaller ridges might suggest it was a child or certain wear patterns could indicate the type of work they did and while the oldest fingerprint we’ve ever discovered was made by neanderthals it’s safe to say that this discovery is still equally significant number 16 Tuton C’s meteoric dagger when the Tomb of the young Pharaoh Tutton common was opened the entire world was captivated by his sarcophagus and the alleged curse that befell Howard Carter and Lord carnavon but there’s more to this discovery than what was made popular take for instance Tuton C’s dagger a small blade known as the dagger from the heavens discovered in the young king’s tomb in 1922 this dagger was found among the hundreds of artifacts surrounding him astonishingly this dagger is made from iron nickel and Cobalt a composition that matches closely with that of meteorites found in the region leading many to believe that it came from the heavens or perhaps gifted to the young Pharaoh by aliens although this is nothing more than a conspiracy aside from the blade the handle of the dagger itself was crafted from gold and Crystal with a sheath being decorated with a floral Lily Motif an important symbol in ancient Egyptian culture but is this dagger truly extraterrestrial in origin possibly but not in the way that you’re thinking it’s likely that this dagger was created from a meteorite this shows that for some bizarre reason the ancient Egyptians had knowledge of smelting meteoric iron an impressive feat given the era the quality of the iron blade its careful forging and the balanced alloy show a sophisticated level of metal working that wouldn’t become common until much later in history number 15 London’s lost theater if you’re familiar with East London’s history perhaps you’ll recognize this theater the Red Lion around 1567 John brain a gerer and Theatrical Enthusiast sought to capitalize on the growing popularity of stage plays and so the Red Lion theater was brought to life built in the White Chapel area of East London the Red Lion was quickly recognized as possibly the first purpose-built Playhouse in all of England predating even the famous Globe Theater where Shakespeare’s plays were performed yet unlike the globe the Red Lion has largely faded Into Obscurity it was here that the early foundations of professional theater in London were laid setting the stage for the rich theat iCal Traditions that would follow but what became of this pioneering Playhouse the Red Lion’s Life as a theater was surprisingly brief documentation and records from the period are sparse but it appears that the theater struggled to attract large audiences possibly due to its location on the outskirts of the city away from the main hubs of activity by the end of the 1560s it had faded from the Limelight and its structure was repurposed eventually disappearing from the historical record the site of to the Red Lion remained a mystery for centuries eluding historians and archaeologists however in 2020 archaeologists discovered the potential location of this lost theater while Excavating in England they discovered the remains of a rectangular building with Dimensions that closely matched those expected of the Red Lion along with pottery and other artifacts dating back to the Elizabethan era it’s quite astounding to ReDiscover these buildings just imagine in the 16th century people with a few coins to bear would drop by this theater to pass the time and appreciate the Arts number 14 hyena hangout spot near the Siberian city of kassia is a cavern that was once the home to an extinct hyena species that lived around 42,000 years ago a period more popularly recognized as the Ice Age what’s astounding is the fact that when researchers explored this cave they stumbled upon bones not only hyena bones but a massive pile of prey bones m deer gazelle foxes wolves rodents Birds fish Yaks woolly bison ancient brown bears these are just a few of the types of animal remains discovered in the cavern most of the bones are scattered in a giant messy pile across the cave creating a maob site for experts it seems like thousands of years ago hyenas had a pinch it for dragging their prey into the cavern most likely to share it with the entire cackle this goes to show that despite tens of thousands of years passing hyenas are still the voracious and opportunistic eaters that they were number 13 Ancient Graffiti think graffiti is something that our generation started not really graffiti has been a thing for centuries even Millennia today archaeologists often encounter the most hilarious and interesting graffiti left behind by the settlers of what is now seen as one of the greatest archaeological sites on the planet take for instance over 1,000 inscriptions of names and I was here statements inside the tomb of pharaoh rameses I 6 in the Valley of the Kings they weren’t created by tourists from our time but rather by Romans who visited the site as staggering 2,000 years ago however a huge majority of Ancient Graffiti and perhaps the most hilarious are in Pompei one graffiti reads you love Iris but she does not love you another sukunda says hello to his Prima wherever she is I ask my mistress that you love me this one discovered at a bar is quite touching we two dear men friends forever were here if you want to know our names they are gas and alus I guess bromances have been a thing since before 79 ad these creations tell us that the human desire to leave a mark to express oneself publicly transcends time and culture but hey just because it’s been done in history doesn’t change the fact that in some places graffiti is considered illegal so before you try to leave your mark you might want to make sure it won’t give you jail time first number 12 redheaded giant cannibals the Lovelock cave lying in a remote part of Northwestern Nevada near the humbold state wildlife management area has been explored by archaeologists and miners for over a century this Cavern has yielded incredible artifacts over the years and yet if there’s something it’s known for it’s the alleged Giants that lived within its dark confines you see the story go shows that there were red-headed Giants lurking in the cave these behemoths known as the CA and pyute mythology were said to be a race of barbaric and malevolent creatures who terrorized the ancient tribes of the region in fact they were even said to be a race that consumed human flesh it was said that these Giants were vanquished by the pyute an indigenous group in what is now Nevada after a long and Dreadful conflict the final battle took place at levelock Cave a real location near the modern town of Nevada where the last of these Giants were purportedly driven into the cave which was then set on fire or barricaded leading to their Extinction excavations of Lovelock cave in the early 20th century did uncover a number of artifacts and even mummified remains which fueled speculative connections to these myths some of these remains included unusually large skulls which sparked a debate about the possible truth behind the Legends so is there any truth about the alleged Giants living in the lovely lock cave well not really despite the myth of these red-headed Giants the skulls discovered in the cavern are attributed to natural human variation rather than evidence of a separate race of giant maneaters number 11 Roman egg earlier this year archaeologists discovered an unlikely find while Excavating a Roman era site in the English town of Alsbury an egg yes a single egg that dates back to about 1,700 years ago it might sound insignificant but this Millennia old egg is the oldest unintentionally preserved egg ever found in fact this egg is so well preserved that it still has the remains of a yolk and egg white inside but of course it’s not edible anymore well it is for people not afraid of death the egg survival through the centuries can be attributed to the specific conditions of the site where it was buried the water logged environment of the pit where the egg was found created a low oxygen atmosphere which significantly slowed down the decomposition process archaeology truly is a fascinating thing just imagine you’re studying a million-year-old artifact using advanced technology and 2 weeks later you’re using the most expensive scientific tools to figure out the specifics of an egg that was probably left alone and discarded carelessly over 1,000 years ago aside from its age this egg also shows just how valuable eggs were in the Roman diet in fact eggs are considered a staple and often appear in various Roman recipes from the period the Romans not only consumed eggs from chickens but also from a variety of wild birds they weren’t picky an egg is an egg number 10 1,900 Yee old bed bugs in 2023 the City of Paris known for its style and Beauty faced quite an unexpected crisis a bed bug infestation however did you know that bed bugs have been a problem for people as early as ad 122 near herodan Wall located in the Landscapes of northern England archaeologists discovered tiny pests bed bugs Hadrian’s Wall as many of you know was a grand fortification built under the reign of Emperor hadrien around ad 122 it stretched across the width of what is now Northern England and was meant to secure the frontier of the Roman Empire from the tribes in what the Romans considered Barbarian territories near the historic wall are settlements while the wall protected people from other people it couldn’t fend off much tinier enemies pesky bed bugs in the chambers where soldiers would have lived and slept were evidence of bed bugs many of them often we think of these soldiers in terms of their military campaigns and Architectural Feats but discoveries like this remind us that they dealt with many of the same daily nuisances that we do imagine a Roman soldier after a long day of training or patrolling the wall coming back to a bed bug infested bunk well it seems that the soldiers who lived in these Barracks never got a good night’s rest number nine the nut Pizza in 2018 archaeologist working at the Regio section of Pompei Unearthed a vibrantly colored Fresco depicting what looks at first glance like a pizza however before you get too excited or triggered about the Romans eating pizza this Fresco actually shows something else it’s not a pizza despite looking like the modern favorite the Fresco found beautifully preserved within what is believed to have been a snack bar or thermopolium which is essentially an ancient Roman fast food restaurant shows a flatbread with various toppings however this piece of flatbread is nothing but well bread with various Foods on top to enhance its flavor you can rest well Italian people credit for creating the greatest Pizza still goes to you number eight Hawk mummy when this 2,100 old mummy was discovered it was thought to be a hawk mummy with its size and shape it wasn’t really surprising and so imagine how shocked archaeologists were when they found out that rather than the remains of a bird these remains actually belonged to a stillborn thanks to Advanced CT scanning technology this tiny mummy was part of the extensive collections at Maidstone Museum in Kent England and was long believed to be one of the many animal mummies commonly offered to the gods in ancient Egypt this fetus unfortunately had died prematurely which explained its very small size and initially misleading appearance number seven 2,000-year-old lump of butter butter anyone here’s a stunning and stinky Discovery over the past decades bogs have revealed a lot of Secrets preserved in its highly acidic environment among the most shocking things discovered in bogs is this a chunk of butter that has been preserved for two Millennia you see despite bogs being seen today as muddy dirty places for people 2,000 years ago bogs are Nature’s Own refrigerator people had the practice of storing their food in bogs and thanks to its anob conditions which wasn’t really quite understood at the time food is preserved each time it’s stored within the Pete while we know the nitty-gritty of bogs today people back then thought differently instead of science spirituality and the Paranormal were the answer it was believed that bogs were special places and could serve as the gateways to the gods that’s why aside from butter human sacrifices are also often found in bogs all across Europe number six strangely elongated skull in 2016 archaeologists in Korea discovered a sixth-century tomb upon cracking it open they stumbled upon a bizarre skull that had been elongated after discovering tombs we’ve come to know that artificial cranial deformation or modification was often carried out by by civilizations and cultures all across the globe several groups of people in the past are known to distort the normal growth of a child’s skull by binding it with a cloth or tying two pieces of wood to alter the cranium shape what is the motive Behind These practices perceive Beauty culture and Aesthetics however according to experts at Soul National University the skull discovered in the Tomb wasn’t elongated or stretched through artificial means subsequent analysis revealed that the skull belonged to a woman who lived in the 6th Century CE in the Sila Kingdom a dynasty that ruled the Korean Peninsula from 57 BCE to 935 CE further studies of the skull fragments revealed that the woman lived on a strict vegetarian diet with most of her food being only wheat and rice her Cranium wasn’t the only thing that was uncommon mitochondrial DNA analysis also revealed that her genetic lineage is common researchers today believe that people from the woman’s lineage naturally had a cranium that was much longer narrower and lower than those of modern Korean adults at the time number five 6,000-year-old telescope looking at this formation one would think that it’s nothing special to an untrained eye this structure made with several Boulders seems ordinary it resembles a small Stone shelter but that’s about it these structures have served as prehistoric tombs or at least that’s what experts believe however a new study is now proposing that rather than being tombs these megalithic clusters are actually telescopes researchers believe that the long narrow entrance passages of these Stone clusters might be something similar to a pinhole effectively creating some sort of lensless telescope for instance the Seven Stone antis passage grave in central Portugal has a narrow passageway in between which when looked into align surprisingly well with aldebran the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus if these structures were indeed used as telescopes it was most likely used to detect stars during Twilight over 6,000 years ago this lensless telescope allowed our ancestors to accurately spot Al Dean just in time to commence their rituals but how sure are we that our ancestors indeed used these Stone clusters as telescopes Well for now it’s yet to be confirmed but there’s a great possibility after all we’ve come to learn that contrary to what we thought each ancient structure has a deliberate purpose which most of the time is spiritual or cultural number four 2,000-year-old dog burial over 2,000 years ago a village was created in cachard Russia near the Arctic Circle in 2016 experts discovered the remains of this once bustling settlement and found out something crucial about the people who survived in the Arctic they had a close bond with canines after Excavating the site archaeologists discovered the remains of over 15 15 dogs a number significantly higher than is typical for sites in the Arctic region among these dogs were five special ones who unlike the rest of the dogs were carefully laid to rest in Shallow pits this respectful treatment contrasting sharply with other animal remains at the site suggest a special bond between these dogs and certain members of the community moreover these dogs weren’t just buried they were buried with artifacts that suggest reverence and affection items such as Stone and Bone implements and even a round Pebble placed within the dog’s mouth were discovered showing us that these dogs were loved and most likely treated as part of the village number three Panda skeleton inside 2,000-year-old tomb although renowned across the globe pandas are creatures that are endemic to China distinct by their black and white coat these creatures have grown to be among the most beloved animals not only in China but across the globe it’s normal to see a video of these animals on the internet and most of the time it features them doing something well questionable you see the giant panda has made its home in six mountainous regions in a few provinces across China some of them survive in elevations up to a staggering 9,800 ft these animals can chew through 600 bamboo stems a day and out of the 24 hours of its day they spend 12 to 15 hours just eating in the wild the giant panda is a formidable creature just like the black Brown and polar bear the giant panda has teeth and Claws that pack quite a punch and yet despite having the body of a predator and the capability to hunt like a predator the giant panda has a diet like an herbivore in fact giant pandas are classified as carnivorous this means that biology is dictating these guys to eat flesh and yet for some bizarre reason most of them now consistently gobble up bamboo it gets crazier with the amount of bamboo they eat you would think that it’s great at supplying their bodies with energy right not really the adult giant panda while having thicker walls in its esophagus to protect itself from bamboo splinters their guts are far too short to digest bamboo like a typical herbivore that’s why they need to stuff themselves with a lot of bamboo to get the adequate protein and nutrients they need if you’ve seen a video of these creatures you would know that they’re clumsy and lazy and people often wonder just how they even survived in the wild well in the wild a giant panda would have been as scary as an angry polar bear however with us taking care of them in conservation areas their need to protect themselves has gone down what’s more most of the pandas that you see have been born and raised in captivity their crazy diet isn’t the only unbelievable thing about these guys you see they’re also having a hard time mating and without human intervention giant pandas won’t even reproduce it’s safe to say that their population has improved purely thanks to human intervention now why did I talk about pandas anyway well a discovery in 2023 revealed that perhaps our fascination with pandas dates back to 2,000 years ago while Excavating the tomb of Emperor Wen who ruled the Western Han Dynasty from 180 bcee until 157 bcee archaeologists discovered a complete skeleton of a giant panda it was believed that the animal was deliberately buried along with the emperor which while it might seem cruel shows the emperor’s fascination with these animals but that’s not all you see in the 1970s a panda skull was also discovered outside the tomb of emperess dowager Bo the mother of Emperor Wen and so it seems the family had a penchant for these black and white creatures number two world’s oldest tea the world’s top drink surprisingly isn’t coffee but rather tea now before coffee drinkers attack me I’m drawing this data from the UN food and agriculture culture organization in the early 2010s every day 6 billion Cups of Tea are consumed by people all over the globe and perhaps several of you are great contributors to this number I admit that I fancy green tea myself recent studies revealed that we’re not the only people who have grown fond of drinking tea while Excavating the tomb of Jing emperor leoi of the Han Dynasty archaeologists discovered the remains of tea that dates back 2,100 years initially we believe that tea was traded across Eastern China and Tibet somewhere between 625 CE and 680 CE however this discovery pushed back that date 400 years earlier and now it’s time for today’s topic scientists found in cave under Lake something that terrified the world submerged Caverns usually hide the most astonishing Secrets underwater archaeologist in the Upper Midwest region of the United States discovered a cavern hiding a structure that greatly resembles Stonehenge the megalithic arrangement in England however while approaching the formation archaeologists claimed that they felt something ominous while approaching the sight being underwater LED them to be more wary and cautious the stones making up the hinge are relatively small and according to experts it seemed as if the stones were used for a ritual something dark that imbued the site with negative energy after concluding that they needed more equipment to thoroughly study the site the two underwater archaeologists decided to go back to the surface and return after getting more gear however even after scouring the site they never once saw the cave again an elaborate hoax or a cursed sight what do you think let me know in the comments number one tiny hands the tiny hands etched and painted on the walls of a desert cave in wadis surra 2 also known as the cave of beasts in the remote Sahara of Egypt aren’t made by humans so then who was responsible for creating these tiny handprints that’s the question archaeologists are hoping to answer the cave of beasts host an overwhelming array of artwork with estimates ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 figures that include both paintings and Engravings now among these artworks are hand stencils they’re scattered throughout the cave and while a good number of them belong to humans there are smaller much smaller handprints until recently archaeologists believed that these smaller handprints that appeared with a larger hand stenc belonged to children or infants who had lived near the cave 7,000 years ago however recent studies revealed that this might not be the case rather than a child mimicking their parents the tiny handprints might have belonged to a reptile it’s now believed that people who created the cave of beasts used the foot of a reptile as a stencil just like what they did with their hands they placed the reptile foot on the cave wall and blw paint over it leaving behind a clear Mark however the reason why they would even bother using a reptile’s foot as a stencil continues to be a mystery it’s unclear whether the animals had significance to the settlers in the desert or perhaps it was them simply experimenting with art so what do you think about these discoveries let me know in the comments down below also check out our other cool stuff showing up on the screen right now and I’ll see you in the next video take care everybody
