00:00:00Here, top, here. And these are 100 discoveries that no one has been able to explain.
00:00:08Changes in human DNA. Some scientists are discussing the possibility that alien microbes
00:00:15could affect human DNA, leading to significant changes in our genetic code. This hypothesis
00:00:22suggests that such microorganisms may not only exist, but also influence human evolution,
00:00:28making us more like them. In support of this idea, researchers point to a number of observable
00:00:34changes in the human population, such as a decrease in testosterone levels and dental health,
00:00:39a decrease in sperm count in men. These trends can be interpreted as signs of evolutionary changes,
00:00:44possibly caused by external influences, including environmental factors or even the influence of
00:00:50extraterrestrial agents. The decrease in testosterone levels and sperm count can have serious consequences
00:00:56for reproductive health and the demographic structure of the population, which makes this
00:01:01topic important from both a scientific and a social point of view.
00:01:05A rare astronomical instrument. Rare. A medieval brass astrolabe from the 11th century was discovered
00:01:11by chance, but turned out to be an important piece of evidence of intercultural scientific interaction.
00:01:17Created in Spain, it later received inscriptions in different languages as new owners adapted it to
00:01:23their own needs. This artifact is unique as a palimpsest, reflecting the changing ideas and needs of
00:01:29its owners. This is not just a rare example of an ancient instrument. It's a powerful testament to
00:01:34the scientific exchange between Arabs, Jews and Christians over the centuries.
00:01:38The Verona astrolabe underwent many changes as it passed from hand to hand. At least three owners
00:01:44added translations and corrections, two in Hebrew and one in an Indo-European language. Astrolabes are maps of the sky,
00:01:51with rotating parts that help determine position in time and space. They were useful for navigation,
00:01:58astronomy and astrology. The Tulli papyrus is an ancient Egyptian document that, according to some sources,
00:02:05describes observations of unusual celestial phenomena resembling modern ideas about UFOs. The papyrus was
00:02:13discovered in the first half of the 20th century and allegedly belonged to the former director of the
00:02:18Egyptian Museum in the Vatican, Alberto Tulli. The text of the papyrus says that during the reign of
00:02:24Pharaoh Thutmose III around 1480 BC, strange luminous objects appeared in the sky.
00:02:31They are described as fiery disks that moved across the sky, emitting light and noise. These objects
00:02:38caused panic among the inhabitants and priests, and their appearance was recorded as an unusual event.
00:02:43Although the authenticity of the Tulli papyrus is disputed and causes much debate among scholars,
00:02:48its content continues to attract the attention of researchers and UFO enthusiasts.
00:02:53Some believe that the document may be ancient evidence of sightings of alien ships.
00:02:58A ritual during a transfer of power, during archaeological excavations at the site of
00:03:04Ucanal in northern Guatemala, traces of an ancient ritual were discovered, which may have symbolized
00:03:10the public replacement of the old ruling regime in Maya civilization. Charred human bones and royal
00:03:16ornaments were found at the top of the temple pyramid. These artifacts may indicate special burial rites or
00:03:22ceremonies. Analysis showed that the bones belonged to at least four adults, with three of them identified
00:03:29as men. One of the skeletons was exposed to high temperatures above 800 degrees.
00:03:35This study confirms that the remains found could have belonged to members of the royal family,
00:03:40who were originally buried elsewhere and centuries later were burned as part of a ritual connected to
00:03:44their transfer to the pyramid. Among the items found were one and a half thousand fragments of various
00:03:50ornaments, pendants, beads, blades and mosaics made of green stone, obsidian objects, blades,
00:03:57ten thousand beads made from seashells, as well as pendants made from mammal teeth. Fragments of a
00:04:03mosaic funerary mask made of green stone were also discovered, which is typical for royal burials from
00:04:08that period. Radiocarbon analysis indicates that the deaths of the people occurred about 100 years before
00:04:15the burning. This confirms the theory that the burial could have been part of a ritual, marking the
00:04:20symbolic and literal destruction of the previous dynasty of the line of Konvitsnal. This could have
00:04:26been a highly ceremonial event associated with the change in the political order in the region.
00:04:31The Alligator Mound in Ohio, USA, there is an amazing archaeological site called Alligator Mound. This
00:04:39mound is made of earth and the stones depict a giant creature resembling an alligator or a salamander
00:04:47about 76 meters long. Despite its name, the true purpose and symbolism of this mound remain a mystery.
00:04:55Researchers suggest that the mound might have symbolized a mythical creature associated with the
00:05:00spiritual or religious beliefs of ancient cultures. However, the unusual shape and enormous size of the
00:05:05mound have also attracted the interest of those who support theories about possible contact with
00:05:10extraterrestrial civilizations. They claim that such images could have been the result of observations of
00:05:16extraterrestrial beings or symbols. The Alligator Mound was built about 1000 years ago by a culture
00:05:22known as Hopewell. Some scientists believe that it was a ritual or astronomical site. Others see it as a
00:05:29possible place of worship for ancient gods or spirits. Alligator Mound is one of many examples of how
00:05:35ancient cultures created incredible monuments that continue to puzzle and inspire modern society.
00:05:43The Graphite Button, in the depths of Northern China, archaeologists have uncovered the mysteries
00:05:48of the Shiyu site, discovered in 1963. Here, unique artifacts were found, which are about 45,000 years old,
00:05:57indicating an early stage of the Upper Paleolithic. This is one of the oldest pieces of evidence of the
00:06:03presence of modern humans in China. Researchers have long debated when Homo sapiens first appeared in
00:06:08this region. The remains from the Tianyuan Cave, discovered in 2003, confirmed that this happened
00:06:15about 40,000 years ago. This data is consistent with the findings in Shiyu. An important part of the
00:06:22discovery was a collection of artifacts, including a unique graphite button that may have been used to
00:06:27fasten clothing or a bag. An international team of scientists conducted a thorough study of the artifacts.
00:06:33During the work, traces of the use of stone tools on animal bones were discovered, indicating human
00:06:39activity from that era. This discovery confirms the hypothesis about the migration of anatomically modern
00:06:45humans to this region. Russian Pyramids
00:06:49If you haven't seen them in person, you've surely heard about the grandeur of the Egyptian pyramids on the Giza
00:06:54Plateau. This architectural ensemble, which has amazed the world with its magnificence for centuries,
00:07:00is considered one of the most monumental. But Russian researchers have pointed to the
00:07:05existence of even older pyramids on the territory of Russia, spanning areas from the Kola Peninsula to
00:07:11the Black Sea. The first discovery of such pyramid-like structures took place on the Kola Peninsula in
00:07:172001, and their dating indicated an age twice that of their Egyptian counterparts. Subsequent findings
00:07:24confirmed the artificial origin of these pyramids, which were built between 9000 and 40,000 years ago.
00:07:31In 2010, researchers discovered another ancient pyramid, indicating similarities in construction
00:07:37techniques with Egyptian and Chinese structures. In the Krasnoyarsk region, there is Mount Sharnaya,
00:07:43an extinct volcano that was named Pyramid because of its three-sided shape with man-made masonry,
00:07:49which was discovered in 1993. In Rostov-on-Don, there are the Arya sanctuaries, a unique structure
00:07:55that predates the Egyptian pyramids by a thousand years and was built according to the golden ratio
00:08:00principle. Crimea is especially rich, wherein 2001 seven pyramids were found, lined up between
00:08:07Sevastopol and Foros and are believed to be 2000 years older than the Egyptian ones. Their architecture
00:08:13resembles the Tibetan and Mexican pyramids, indicating the existence of an ancient advanced
00:08:17civilization. It's hard to believe that the Egyptian pyramids aren't as ancient as we were told before.
00:08:24Such findings also confirm that the Egyptians were not the first to create such grand structures.
00:08:31To this day, humanity is still puzzled and trying to understand why people in ancient times built
00:08:36pyramid structures all over the globe. Alpha Alphabet of a Lost Civilization
00:08:43Spanish archaeologists from the University of Barcelona discovered tablets with drawings from
00:08:47the Tartessian civilization of the Bronze Age. Excavations were carried out in Casas del Turinuelo in
00:08:54the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, as reported by the Spanish National Research Council.
00:08:59A Tartessos was an ancient civilization that flourished on the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th century BC
00:09:04known for its complex writing system. By the 4th century BC, the Tartessians had disappeared.
00:09:09The discovered tablet, dating back to the 6th-5th centuries BC, contains 21 symbols of Paleo-Hispanic
00:09:15script and a scene depicting a battle between three warriors. This discovery will help scientists learn
00:09:21more about the culture, clothing, and weaponry of the Tartessians. The study of such artifacts opens new
00:09:27perspectives in understanding this mysterious civilization and its disappearance.
00:09:32Unknown Statue in the Thai Forest
00:09:34Recently, mushroom pickers in Thailand found a stone sculpture of a woman resembling the mother of
00:09:40Buddha and reported the discovery to researchers. Despite the remoteness of the region, the archaeologists
00:09:46had doubts about the origin of the statue. This discovery sparked debates among scientists who are
00:09:51trying to determine the age of the statue. One of the people who found the statue shared the discovery on
00:09:56social media, expressing his surprise and admiration. He called it a blessing, since the sculpture was
00:10:01found in a place he had known for a long time. The sculpture is carved on the sloping surface of
00:10:06a
00:10:06rock and depicts a woman at full length. She has long hair, traditional clothing, including a long skirt
00:10:12and a heavy scarf around her neck. The woman is holding a branch above her head. Some believe that the
00:10:17sculpture dates back to the period of the Southeast Asian Kingdom of Dvaravati, from the 6th to the 11th
00:10:23century and depicts Maya Devi, the mother of Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Buddha. However,
00:10:28this theory is not universally accepted. An art historian from Silpakorn University in Thailand
00:10:33believes that the sculpture may be from a later period. He claims that the sculptor imitated ancient
00:10:39Indian art but created his work at a later time. The expert points out the facial features of the
00:10:44sculpture, such as the eyebrows and lips, which do not match the characteristics of the Dvaravati period.
00:10:49He also notes that the depiction of Maya Devi with a fig tree branch was not common in the
00:10:55region during that era. The fig tree from Southeast Asia has religious significance for Buddhists and
00:11:00Hindus. Researchers have deciphered the Voynich manuscript. The Voynich manuscript has been intriguing
00:11:07scientists and cryptographers for more than 600 years. This document, filled with encrypted texts and
00:11:13unusual illustrations, has given rise to many hypotheses, ranging from magical spells to obscene texts.
00:11:19But researchers from Macquarie University have concluded that the content of the manuscript is
00:11:24not only decent, but also contains information that, in the early 15th century, was not meant for
00:11:30everyone. Dr. Keegan Brewer, the lead author of the study, claims that the manuscript is a medieval
00:11:36gynecology manual, including information about sex, contraception, and the treatment of gynecological
00:11:42diseases. The encrypted nature of the text suggests that access to this information was intended to be
00:11:47restricted to a certain group of female readers, which is a vivid example of gender censorship.
00:11:52The manuscript contains numerous illustrations depicting plants, animals, and people,
00:11:57but researchers have paid special attention to drawings of naked women pointing to their genitals.
00:12:02These images clearly hint at the gynecological focus of the text. Women's secrets, as women's health
00:12:09was called in the middle ages, were strictly censored despite being actively studied. The patriarchal
00:12:14culture of that era feared the female body and its functions, which was reflected in the medical
00:12:19texts of the time. One of the largest and most mysterious illustrations, known as the rosettes,
00:12:25may symbolize the commonly accepted views on sex and contraception of that time. According to the
00:12:30beliefs of that time, the uterus consisted of seven chambers, and the vagina had two openings. Perhaps
00:12:36the nine circles in the illustration symbolize these anatomical details. Thus, the Voynich manuscript may
00:12:42not just be a collection of meaningless symbols or a joke, as some have suggested, but an important
00:12:48historical document revealing approaches to women's health in medieval Europe, the mystery of Arkheim.
00:12:55Arkheim, often called the Russian Stonehenge, is one of the most mysterious archaeological sites in Russia.
00:13:02Located in the steppes of the southern Urals, this megalithic complex impresses with its size
00:13:07and precision of layout, making it similar to the famous Stonehenge in Great Britain,
00:13:12both in its astronomical functions and its geographic latitude. Arkheim is a circular fortress with two
00:13:18concentric rings of walls and streets connecting dwellings, which were built taking into account the
00:13:23astronomical knowledge of the ancients. Studies have shown that the buildings in Arkheim were constructed
00:13:29in such a way as to observe 18 astronomical events, including solstices and equinoxes.
00:13:35This testifies to the high level of astronomical knowledge of the peoples who inhabited this region
00:13:41during the Bronze Age. Arkheim not only attracts archaeologists, but is also of interest to
00:13:46researchers of anomalous phenomena. Unusual magnetic anomalies are recorded in the area of the complex,
00:13:52which sometimes affect the operation of electronic devices. These anomalies, as well as a number of
00:13:57other unexplained phenomena, give rise to various theories, including suggestions that Arkheim might
00:14:02have been used or even created by extraterrestrial civilizations. In addition, the unique architecture
00:14:08and complex water supply system indicate a high level of social organization and engineering skill
00:14:13among its builders. These qualities make Arkheim one of the key Bronze Age monuments in Eurasia.
00:14:22Venus of Willendorf
00:14:23In 1908 archaeologists in Austria made a special discovery. They found the Venus of Willendorf.
00:14:31This tiny statuette, only 11 cm tall, depicts a woman with voluptuous forms,
00:14:36and it is about 25,000 to 28,000 years old. It was found in the village of Willendorf,
00:14:42and quickly became one of the most famous symbols of Paleolithic art.
00:14:46The Venus of Willendorf is carved from limestone and painted with red ochre. Her voluptuous forms,
00:14:52especially her breasts, belly and hips, symbolize fertility and feminine beauty.
00:14:58The figurine's face is absent, which may indicate that its creators wanted to focus more on the body
00:15:04and its symbolic meaning. This figurine remains the subject of much research and debate. Some scholars
00:15:10believe that the Venus of Willendorf may have been used in rituals related to fertility. Others suggest
00:15:16that it might have been a talisman or amulet. Of course, there are also those who have linked
00:15:21this figurine to an extraterrestrial origin. Some researchers associate its unusual shape and
00:15:27remarkable detail for that time with a possible resemblance to visitors from deep space. But why
00:15:33only one such figurine has been found so far, remains unclear to archaeologists.
00:15:38The mummy of Hannah Beswick. The fear of being buried alive is not just the stuff of myths and
00:15:44legends. Topophobia, or the fear of premature burial, troubled the minds of many famous people,
00:15:50such as Chopin and Gogol. However, the story of Hannah Beswick, a resident of Falesworth in the
00:15:5518th century, is especially striking. Khanna was shaken by the case of her brother John,
00:16:00who narrowly escaped being buried alive. He was found in a lethargic sleep during his own funeral.
00:16:06This incident affected Hannah so much that she resorted to unusual measures to protect herself from
00:16:11a similar fate. She turned to Dr. Charles White to verify that she was truly dead before burial.
00:16:19Dr. White, known for his interest in pathological anatomy, made the unusual decision to embalm Hannah's
00:16:25body. He removed all her internal organs and replaced them with a preserving mixture.
00:16:29In this way, he guaranteed that Hannah would not come back to life in the coffin.
00:16:33However, after Hannah's death in 1758, her body was not buried. Rumors said that Dr. White used the
00:16:40money left for the funeral for his own purposes. Hannah's body was kept for a long time in an unusual
00:16:46container, the case of a large wall clock, and was later transferred to the Manchester Museum of
00:16:51Natural History. Only more than a hundred years after her death in 1868, Hannah Beswick was officially
00:16:59declared dead and buried in the Manchester Cemetery. Interestingly, after she was buried,
00:17:04many people claimed to have seen her ghost, but it never harmed anyone.
00:17:09The Stone Age might actually turn out to be the Wooden Age.
00:17:13Researchers believe that human ancestors were able to work with wood three million years ago.
00:17:18In 1836, Danish archaeologist Christian Jurgensen Thompson proposed a chronology from the Stone Age
00:17:25to the Bronze and Iron Ages, which became the foundation of archaeology. However, archaeologist Thomas
00:17:31Terberger is ready to rewrite history and believes that the Stone Age might be replaced by the Wooden Age.
00:17:36He suggests that wooden tools have existed just as long as stone ones. That is two, two and a half,
00:17:42or three million years. It's just that wood decomposes faster. Primitive stone tools are characteristic of
00:17:49the Lower Paleolithic, but wood has only been found at 10 out of 1000 archaeological sites from that era.
00:17:56Terberger led the study of these items found in the pit of a coal mine near Schöningen in Germany from
00:18:021994 to 2008.
00:18:06Among the artifacts were throwing spears dated to the end of the warm interglacial period 300,000
00:18:12years ago. These discoveries overturned the idea of human ancestors, who were previously thought to
00:18:17be simple scavengers. People who lived before Homo sapiens made tools and hunting weapons,
00:18:23worked together to hunt, and knew how to butcher game. 3D microscopy and micro CT scanners found traces of
00:18:29wear on 187 pieces of wood. Until now it was believed that only modern humans worked with wood.
00:18:37Among the finds were sticks, kitchen utensils, and household tools made from spruce,
00:18:42pine, and larch. The wood was cut down on a mountain two to three kilometers from the discovery site.
00:18:47Analysis showed that Stone Age people carefully worked the wood, following a specific order, removing the
00:18:53bark, cutting off branches, sharpening the tips, and hardening them in fire. The wooden tools turned
00:18:58out to be more complex than the stone ones. Giants in Sardinia. On Sardinia, a mysterious island in the
00:19:06Mediterranean Sea, archaeologists discovered unique artifacts known as the Giants of Monte Prama.
00:19:12These statues are striking for their size and craftsmanship, and their name emphasizes their
00:19:18exceptional size. According to some studies, these figures may have been created based on legends
00:19:24about ancient giants who inhabited the island thousands of years ago. These statues are evidence
00:19:29of the high level of culture that existed in Sardinia in ancient times, and may reflect the myths and
00:19:35religious beliefs of that era. The Giants of Monte Prama are stone figures that depict full-length
00:19:41human figures, often armed and dressed in armor typical of that era. Some theories suggest that the
00:19:47figures may have been created in honor of particularly significant individuals or heroes of that
00:19:52time, possibly even real giants who once existed. This idea is fueled by well-known legends and tales
00:19:59that have been passed down from generation to generation by the inhabitants of Sardinia. Thus,
00:20:04the giant statues from Monte Prama leave many questions about their origin, purpose, and about
00:20:09those whom they were meant to depict. The most common opinion about their origin is of course extraterrestrial.
00:20:15As some scientists claim, these statues are exact replicas of visitors from outer space,
00:20:21ancient people wanted to immortalize their image on Earth as a sign of some kind of gratitude.
00:20:26Allegedly, thousands of years ago some technologies and knowledge were received from these beings.
00:20:31We can't confirm or deny this, of course, so let's move on.
00:20:36The Mysteries of the Codex Gigas The Codex Gigas, also known as the Devil's Bible,
00:20:41is an ancient manuscript that holds many secrets. Created in the 13th century, it impresses with
00:20:47its size and content. Inside the book, you can find not only the texts of the Old and New Testaments,
00:20:54but also an image of the Devil himself, which takes up an entire page. However,
00:20:59the most intriguing are the astronomical maps, which appear unusually detailed for their time.
00:21:05This has given rise to many theories about the possible extraterrestrial origin of the
00:21:09knowledge used in creating the Codex. Some researchers believe that the manuscript may
00:21:14contain encrypted messages or knowledge passed down by extraterrestrial civilizations. Legend has
00:21:20it that the Codex Gigas was written by a monk in a single night, with the help of the Devil.
00:21:25What
00:21:25secrets does this mysterious manuscript hold? And is it possible that its pages contain encrypted
00:21:31keys to ancient knowledge that came from space? The Codex Gigas remains one of the most mysterious
00:21:37artifacts of antiquity. And one day, we will definitely study it. Artifacts of a Vanished Mysterious
00:21:44Civilization Archaeologists have discovered gold jewelry, arrowheads and a large bronze mirror in
00:21:50burial mounds about 2000 years old in the Turkestan region in southern Kazakhstan. These artifacts are
00:21:57believed to have been made during the time of the Kangju state, which ruled the region between the
00:22:025th century BC and the 4th century AD. The findings demonstrate the high craftsmanship of the Kangju
00:22:08artisans who traded with ancient Rome, China and the Kushan Empire. The bronze mirror, judging by its
00:22:14style and pattern, most likely originated from China during the Han Dynasty. Similar mirrors have been
00:22:20found in Afghanistan and in the southern Urals, which indicates the high status of the woman next to
00:22:25whom it was buried. Archaeologists claimed that the state of Kangju was a federation of different
00:22:30peoples, including the Sarmatians, the Zongnu and the Saka. The location of Kangju's cities on the Silk Road
00:22:36contributed to diplomatic and trade relations with the entire ancient world. The artifacts will be
00:22:41exhibited at the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Astana, delivering messages from the afterlife.
00:22:49Since ancient times, humanity has sought ways to communicate with those who have left the world of
00:22:53the living, which has led to the development of many methods and practices. Among them,
00:22:58there were inevitably charlatans who exploited the grief of those who had lost loved ones.
00:23:02However, alongside these, there were also those who approached the question of communicating with
00:23:07the other world with pragmatism and rationalism. One such person was William Thomas Stead, a journalist
00:23:13of the Victorian era, who in the 1890s delved into the study of spiritualism in London. Stead claimed that
00:23:19he possessed extrasensory abilities and could receive messages from the deceased through so-called
00:23:25automatic writing. Allegedly, his hand was able to write messages from the other world. One of his main
00:23:31interlocutors was Julia Ames, an American journalist who died in 1891. Before her death, Julia made an
00:23:39agreement with her friend Ellen that she would try to contact her from the afterlife. Ellen claimed that she
00:23:44saw Julia in her home next to her bed but did not hear her words. This made Ellen turn to
00:23:51Stead for help
00:23:51and he offered to use his skills to convey her message through automatic writing. As a result,
00:23:58Stead wrote the book After Death or Letters from Julia, in which he published messages allegedly
00:24:02received from Julia. They described her experiences in the afterlife and suggested that continued existence
00:24:10after death is perceived as something natural and continuous, where the soul leaves the physical
00:24:16body but retains its consciousness and self-awareness. After Stead's death on the Titanic in 1912, his
00:24:23daughter Estella claimed that a family friend, Woodman, also began receiving messages from her father
00:24:28through automatic writing. Woodman allegedly conveyed Stead's impressions of his experiences after death,
00:24:34describing his perception of death as a strange journey to a new place filled with light and peace.
00:24:39These messages suggest that automatic writing may not only be the result of trance or unconscious
00:24:45activity, but also a real way to communicate with another dimension. And how do you think is it
00:24:51possible for people after death to somehow transmit any information to us in the world of the living?
00:24:57Write your opinion in the comments below the video. Ancient structures in the Black Sea, off the coast of
00:25:03Apesia, scientists from the International Underwater Archaeological Expedition have discovered
00:25:08important archaeological finds. With the help of special equipment and divers, they explored depths from
00:25:131 to 60 meters in the waters near the cities of Gudauta and Sukhum. The most significant discovery was the
00:25:20remains of a medieval structure in the Sukhum Bay at the mouth of the Besletka River, where the ancient
00:25:25city of the Ascuria is believed to have been located. In this area, where an ancient steel had previously been
00:25:31found, archaeologists discovered a semicircular masonry structure, likely a tower with attached walls.
00:25:37It is made of large pebbles set in a limestone mortar. There is pottery present in the masonry.
00:25:42Due to the large amount of sand and silt in the water, it was difficult to photograph the object,
00:25:47so a detailed survey is planned for 20, 24, 20, 25. In the waters near the city of Gudauta,
00:25:54archaeologists found numerous vessels from the ancient and medieval periods, including an amphora at a depth of
00:26:0048 to 50 meters ancient fortress in the oasis, in the Khybar oasis in the desert of Saudi Arabia.
00:26:08Scientists discovered an ancient fortress wall dating back more than 4,000 years. This gigantic
00:26:14structure is 14.5 kilometers long and 5 meters high, with about 180 bastions, of which only 6 kilometers
00:26:21of the wall and 74 bastions have survived to this day. Radiocarbon analysis of charcoal remains from the
00:26:28excavation site indicates a period between 2250 and 1950 BC. Remains of pottery were found on the wall,
00:26:37which confirms its antiquity. Archaeologists believe that this wall was used for several
00:26:42centuries before it was abandoned. The wall was presumably used for protection against nomad raids,
00:26:47marking territorial boundaries, and protection from floods. This indicates a transition of the local
00:26:52population to a settled way of life. The construction of such a giant wall required significant resources.
00:26:59About 250 people worked on it for 4 years, using 164,000 cubic meters of stone and brick. The discovery
00:27:07of the wall was made possible thanks to satellite images, which opens up new horizons for archaeological research.
00:27:16Shivalinga, in the city of Circe in India, there is a unique pilgrimage site called Sahasra Linga.
00:27:22Here, among the natural beauty, there are stone images of Shivalinga, which amaze with their appearance,
00:27:28especially during the Maha Maha Shivaratri festival. At this time, the water level in the river drops,
00:27:33making the sculptures visible and attracting thousands of pilgrims and tourists who wish to see and worship the
00:27:38sacred lingams. Shivalinga is a symbol of Shiva, one of the main deities in Hinduism, representing the
00:27:45source of creation and destruction. Interestingly, there are not only religious but also scientific
00:27:51debates surrounding the Shivalingam. Some proponents of the ancient astronaut theory claim that the Shivalingam
00:27:57could represent a powerful technological device, similar in function to a modern nuclear reactor.
00:28:03Based on the shape and properties of the Lingam, they suggest that ancient people might have used
00:28:09advanced technologies. On the other hand, modern scientists may interpret the Shivalingam as a
00:28:15symbol of atomic energy, which also has the potential for both great benefit and destruction.
00:28:21This analogy highlights the dual nature of Shiva, who in Hindu tradition is both a creator and a destroyer
00:28:27at the same time. A stone with mysterious markings. A geography teacher named Graham Sr. was clearing
00:28:35the overgrown garden at his home in Coventry when he came across a stone with mysterious carvings.
00:28:41Intrigued by the discovery, he sent photos to a local archaeologist. Graham was shocked to learn that
00:28:46the markings on the stone were made more than 1600 years ago and that the artifact was worthy of being
00:28:52displayed in a museum. The rectangular sandstone was covered with inscriptions made in the Ogham script,
00:28:59which was used in the early Middle Ages mainly for writing in the Irish language. Before the appearance
00:29:04of parchment manuscripts, the Irish used the Ogham system, which consisted of parallel lines carved into
00:29:10stone or wood.
00:29:11Rare examples of such stones provide important information about early Irish language and culture.
00:29:16Catherine Forsyth, professor of Celtic studies at the University of Glasgow, confirmed that this is an
00:29:21Ogham inscription dating from around the 4th to 6th centuries. The stone, measuring 11 cm long and
00:29:27weighing 139 grams, has inscriptions on three of its four sides. Its purpose remains a mystery, but scholars
00:29:34suggest that it could have been a portable commemorative object. The inscription on the stone consists of two
00:29:39parts. The first part contains the name of a person, male Damkyle. The second part is less clear and may
00:29:45indicate a location, but its exact meaning remains unknown. A canopy of gold. Recently, Mexican scientists
00:29:55invested nine and a half million pesos in acquiring three unique documents from the late 16th century.
00:30:00This investment opened a new chapter in history, providing valuable information about the period when the
00:30:06Spaniards arrived in the lands of modern Mexico. We are talking about the codices of San Andreas de
00:30:11Tetepilco, compiled at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries which vividly illustrate the events of
00:30:17that time, including the era of Iscuaú's rule, the fourth ruler of Tenochtitlán and the founder of the
00:30:24Aztec Empire, and the arrival of Hernán Cortés. These rare codices were purchased for the National Library of
00:30:30Anthropology and History thanks to the efforts and support of individuals and organizations. A payment
00:30:36of nine and a half million pesos made it possible to return them from private hands to public ownership.
00:30:42Analysis showed that the codices were made from AMET, a traditional bark paper using natural dyes,
00:30:49which highlights the high craftsmanship of their creators. The authenticity of the documents was
00:30:54confirmed thanks to joint work with experts from various scientific institutions. The San Andreas de
00:31:00Tetepilco codices stand out among other artifacts due to their unique combination of indigenous
00:31:05traditions and European influence. They contain texts in Nahuatl and Spanish, written in the Latin
00:31:11alphabet. This treasure provides an opportunity to delve deeper into the study and understanding of a
00:31:16key period in the region's history. The monolith on Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, hides an amazing
00:31:24secret, a giant monolith. This monolith, about 85 meters tall, was first discovered in images taken by
00:31:34spacecraft. Its size and regular shape raise many questions among scientists. Some researchers suggest
00:31:41that the monolith might be an artificial structure left by an ancient alien civilization. This hypothesis is
00:31:48based on its unusual geometry and its isolation from other geological formations on the surface of Phobos.
00:31:54The monolith looks as if it was deliberately placed at this location. This discovery sparked intense
00:32:00discussions in the scientific community and gave rise to many theories. Some believe that the
00:32:05monolith could be an ancient beacon or marker left for future space explorers. Others see it as
00:32:11possible evidence of extraterrestrial activity in our solar system. The ancient Roman giant. In the area
00:32:19near Rome, archaeologists discovered a unique ancient human skeleton with gigantism. Standing at 202
00:32:26centimeters tall, the man stood out among his 3rd century contemporaries, whose average height was about
00:32:31167 centimeters. Gigantism is an extremely rare condition, affecting about three people per minute
00:32:38ilion and is associated with pituitary gland dysfunction during childhood. Previously, partial skeletons were found in
00:32:45Poland and Egypt, which were believed to indicate gigantism. However, the Roman discovery became the first
00:32:51confirmed case from antiquity. The skeleton was found in 1991 during excavations of a necropolis in Fidene,
00:32:57under Roman control. The archaeological team immediately noted the unusual length of the tomb,
00:33:03and later studies confirmed the peculiarities of the bones. Researchers found damage to the skull
00:33:08consistent with a pituitary tumor, as well as disproportionately long limbs and signs of bone
00:33:14growth in early adulthood. The early death of the man, presumably between the ages of 16 and 20,
00:33:20may indicate problems associated with gigantism. The skeleton was found without any burial goods,
00:33:25and the burial itself did not differ from the traditions of that time, which suggests that
00:33:29he was accepted by society. The symbolism of this find highlights the interest of the Roman upper class
00:33:35in people with physical anomalies. The history of Egyptian princes, the first European to discover
00:33:41Australia, was the Dutchman William Janzon in 1606. However, scientific data from the early 20th
00:33:48century presented an unexpected twist. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were discovered in Australia.
00:33:54These findings indicate that the Egyptians were on the green continent 5,000 years before the Europeans.
00:34:01The hieroglyphs were found in the Karyong archaeological area on the east coast of Australia,
00:34:06where they had long been known to the local aboriginal people. These glyphs, known as the
00:34:11Gosford glyphs, contain texts that describe an expedition of the ancient Egyptians. These texts tell
00:34:17about the arrival on the Australian shores and the tragic fate of the prince who led the expedition,
00:34:22who died from a snake bite. After his death, according to ancient customs, the body was disinfected and
00:34:28buried in a cave. Despite the seeming improbability of such a journey, there are arguments in favor of
00:34:33the possibility of long-distance expeditions by the Egyptians. Thor Heyrdal on the papyrus boat,
00:34:39Ratuo successfully crossed the Atlantic, demonstrating that papyrus boats can withstand long voyages.
00:34:45Critics point out the inconsistency of the glyph style with classical Egyptian hieroglyphs,
00:34:49but this can be explained by the fact that they were created not by professional scribes, but by sailors.
00:34:54The authenticity of the Gosford glyphs is confirmed by some well-known Egyptologists.
00:34:59Has the first battle with aliens already taken place? On August 26, 1946, an American scientific
00:35:07expedition set out for the South Pole. It was led by naval officer and explorer admiral Richard Byrd,
00:35:14who took part in World War I. The expedition involved 13 ships, 33 airplanes, and nearly 5000 US Navy personnel.
00:35:22The group under the admiral's command returned only after nine months, reporting that they had to
00:35:27engage in battle with remnants of the Third Reich and possibly extraterrestrials. Flying objects attacked
00:35:33the members of the expedition and inflicted significant damage on the American group. Byrd stated in his
00:35:39report that he saw an unidentified device capable of moving at incredible speed almost instantly changing
00:35:45its position. At that time, the admiral's statements despite his high status seemed like fiction. However,
00:35:51in 2018, a satellite image made it possible to see a contrail left by something moving at incredible
00:35:58speed. The trail stretched across the entire Earth connecting the South and North Poles which is
00:36:03about 20,000 kilometers. The maximum time the trail can retain its shape is 30 minutes, with most of it
00:36:09starting to dissipate after just 15 minutes. Based on the data obtained, it can be said that the object that
00:36:15left the contrail was moving at a speed of at least 80,000 kilometers per hour hour, which is 10
00:36:22times
00:36:22faster than the fastest airplane that existed at that time. The stone pipes of Beigu. In a remote region
00:36:29of China, at the foot of Mount Beigu, amazing underground stone pipes have been discovered.
00:36:34These ancient structures, which are over 5,000 years old, are astonishing in their complexity and
00:36:40precision. Excavations have shown that the pipes go deep underground and come in various sizes, from
00:36:47small diameters of a few centimeters to huge ones over a meter in diameter. The technology used to create
00:36:53these pipes remains a mystery to modern scientists. How were ancient civilizations able to carve and install
00:37:00such complex structures? Their origin and purpose remain unknown, which leads to many hypotheses and
00:37:06assumptions. Researchers suggest that these pipes could have been part of an ancient water supply or
00:37:11ventilation system. However, there is also a more intriguing theory. It is possible that the Beigu stone
00:37:17pipes are evidence of extraterrestrial involvement. The precision and scale of the construction make one
00:37:23wonder about the existence of ancient technologies that we do not yet understand. Interestingly, similar
00:37:29artifacts are known from other places around the world, for example, on the Colorado plateaus. The pipes
00:37:35here also have a diameter ranging from 50 centimeters to 1. Archaeologists have found that inside, these pipes
00:37:41are covered with an iron-containing crust. Something similar has been found in Louisiana, USA. In this case,
00:37:47the diameter reaches 70 centimeters. Lost ancient cities. Archaeologists have discovered ancient cities in the
00:37:55Amazon rainforests, where about 2,000 years ago, up to 30,000 people could have lived. This was reported in
00:38:01the journal Science. Using ultrasonic LiDAR, a team led by Steven Royston from the French National Center for
00:38:08Scientific Research explored the area and found many structures and roads underground. Before the arrival of
00:38:14the Spanish, the Kilimope and Hupano peoples lived here. Royston called this place the Lost Valley of
00:38:20Ancient Cities, emphasizing its uniqueness and importance for understanding the history of the
00:38:25Amazon. The discovered cities were built over a vast area and included residential and public buildings
00:38:30surrounded by agricultural fields with drainage canals. Roads connected the cities, with some roads
00:38:36reaching up to 20 kilometers in length. Royston notes that the local inhabitants used clay instead of
00:38:43stone for construction. These cities existed from 500 BC to 300-600 AD in parallel with the Roman Empire in
00:38:50Europe, and lasted for about a thousand years. A Bronze Age wooden well. Archaeologists recently
00:38:59discovered a well-preserved Bronze Age wooden well in Oxfordshire, England. The well was found during
00:39:06the construction of the Benson Relief Road. John Butroyd, the senior project manager, said that they
00:39:12expected to find an ordinary pit, but instead they came across a preserved wooden post driven vertically
00:39:17into the ground. Further excavations showed that the posts were part of a wooden well. The moist soil
00:39:24contributed to the excellent preservation of the wood. Archaeologists documented the structure
00:39:29digitally and carefully dismantled it for transport to the Oxfordshire Museum service. Wood samples were
00:39:35sent for analysis to determine their type. In addition to the well, archaeologists found flint,
00:39:41animal bones, and fragments of pottery, indicating their use for storage and waste. Despite the
00:39:46challenging conditions, the team successfully documented the well. Soil samples will help create
00:39:52a more complete picture of the surrounding landscape and the scale of the settlement.
00:39:57The mystery of the dropa discs in 1938 in a remote region of China, in the city of Bayankara Ula.
00:40:04Archaeologists discovered amazing artifacts, the dropa discs. These discs, made of granite,
00:40:10are about 30 cm in diameter and approximately 1 cm thick. They attracted the attention of scientists
00:40:16with their unusual appearance. Each disc contains central holes and carved spiral grooves, resembling
00:40:23grooves on a record. That is, they are similar to vinyl records. And perhaps they contain the sounds of
00:40:29ancient people, nature, or even something extraterrestrial. The most intriguing thing is that the
00:40:35grooves on the discs contain microscopic symbols resembling hieroglyphs. Researchers claim that these
00:40:42symbols may be a form of ancient writing encoded in spiral patterns. Translations conducted by some
00:40:48scientists suggest that the discs may tell about an ancient civilization known as the dropa, which may
00:40:53have had contact with extraterrestrial beings. According to legend, the dropa tribe arrived on earth about
00:40:59twelve thousand years ago from a distant star, but unfortunately almost no artifacts remain from them
00:41:05except for these discs. The dropa discs remain one of the most mysterious archaeological discoveries,
00:41:12raising many questions about possible contacts between ancient people and extraterrestrials.
00:41:18The supernatural destruction of Mohenjo-daro. In 1922, an officer of the archaeological service of
00:41:24India, together with a Buddhist monk, went to the area. Which turned out to be a religious monument.
00:41:30Instead of mounds of mud and stones in the Sindh region, which is now part of modern Pakistan,
00:41:35an entire Bronze Age city was discovered, with a grid of streets, a drainage system, and flush toilets.
00:41:42The city was part of the Harappan civilization, which reached its peak. 5000 years ago and ceased to exist
00:41:49around 1900 BC. The Mound of the Dead is the legacy of one of the oldest civilizations. The inhabitants
00:41:56of Mohenjo-daro were in no way inferior to those of Egypt and ancient Mesopotamia. At one time, about
00:42:0235 000 people lived in this region, but archaeologists have managed to find only 43 skeletons that have
00:42:08survived to this day. The disappearance of the city was mysterious, but in 1977 a British researcher
00:42:15discovered evidence suggesting that a powerful explosion was the cause. Melted stones and
00:42:20calcine skeletons suggest that the inhabitants of Mohenjo-daro died instantly. In 2014, a doctor
00:42:27of mineralogy conducted a series of analyses and tests, which makes it possible to claim connections
00:42:32between the Harappan civilization and aliens. This is indicated not only by the high level of development
00:42:37of the local inhabitants, but also by the fact that they were burned at temperatures of several
00:42:41thousand degrees. There are no volcanoes here, and there were no technologies capable of reaching such
00:42:47temperatures. The mystery of the post-mortem stain. Death is an integral part of life. All people are
00:42:55mortal, but only a few leave behind puzzles that generations struggle to solve. In the abandoned
00:43:00psychiatric hospital, the ridges, there is a stain in the shape of a human body on the concrete floor.
00:43:07This is the place where a patient named Margaret Schilling died. The woman lay there for several
00:43:12weeks, and the stain appeared in 1979 causing a lot of speculation and mystification. Forensic
00:43:17experts determined that the stain was formed as a result of the body's decomposition. The ridges,
00:43:22originally known as the Athens Mental Health Center, is located in Athens, Ohio. Opened in 1874 this
00:43:31asylum, like many others at the time, was intended to isolate the mentally ill from society. The ridges
00:43:38could accommodate about 550 patients, but by the 1950s the hospital was overcrowded with around 2000
00:43:45patients. There are myths that Margaret might have been deaf and mute and couldn't call for help while
00:43:51hiding from the staff. She died slowly, locked in a room. In reality, Margaret was an ordinary woman with
00:43:59mental disorders. Married and with three children, she began to suffer after her mother died. Visions
00:44:05and conversations with her deceased mother led her to the asylum. Most likely, Margaret died of heart
00:44:10failure caused by the cold in the unheated part of the building. She was found naked, with her clothes
00:44:15neatly folded nearby. After the body was removed, an indelible stain remained, caused by decomposition
00:44:22and exposure to sunlight. Despite attempts to clean it, the stain remained in place, serving as a
00:44:28reminder of the patient's tragic fate. Fans of the supernatural quickly created a legend that the
00:44:33stain was the imprint of Margaret's soul, who wanders the hospital corridors. They claimed that
00:44:38her ghost can still be seen as a blurry figure with a vacant stare. After the hospital was closed,
00:44:43the complex was transferred to Ohio State University. After renovations, the hospital was turned into an
00:44:48educational institution. In that very room, they set up an archive, covering the silhouette with tiles.
00:44:54However, some people insist that they have seen the ghost of a woman with her hands folded,
00:44:59as if praying to someone invisible. Traces of the gods! In the temple of Indara, in northern Syria,
00:45:06in the arid lands, there is a unique archaeological site, the Indara complex, a group of structures
00:45:12surrounding a majestic central temple unlike anything else of its kind. One of its remarkable features is
00:45:19the giant footprints on the threshold, each about a meter long. They clearly indicate their non-human
00:45:25origin. According to local residents, the footprints were left by a deity, and the temple resembles the
00:45:31biblical description of Solomon's temple. The temple dates back to the Iron Age of the Syro-Hittite
00:45:37kingdoms, which emerged after the collapse of the Hittite empire around 1180 BC, and lastly until 700 BC.
00:45:44The temple was discovered in 1955. Archaeological excavations have made it possible to study its
00:45:50structure and decorations in more detail. The temple stands on a mound and is surrounded by a gallery.
00:45:56Its foundation consists of massive basalt blocks. The walls are decorated with intricate carvings
00:46:01depicting geometric patterns and mythical animals, showing the high level of craftsmanship of its creators.
00:46:07The entrance is guarded by lions and sphinxes carved from stone. Nevertheless, it is still not known to
00:46:13whom exactly the temple was dedicated. There is a theory that it might have been dedicated to the
00:46:18goddess Ishtar, but there is no definitive evidence. The giant human footprints not only confirmed
00:46:23the connection of the structures with ancient myths and deities, but also emphasized their cultural,
00:46:29religious and mystical significance. However, in 2018, a huge part of this temple was destroyed by
00:46:35airstrikes. The secret of a 4000-year-old artifact. In 2001, the archaeological world was puzzled by a flood
00:46:44of unique antiquities on the antique market. Jewelry, weapons and ceramics with exquisite designs and
00:46:51inlays appeared out of nowhere, raising questions about their origin. Works distinguished by complex
00:46:57symbolism were attributed to Central Asia, but it was later discovered that they were not forgeries.
00:47:01An investigation in Iran in 2002 revealed the secret behind these discoveries.
00:47:06The arrests of the dealers led to the discovery of the location of the artifacts in the Halil River
00:47:11Valley, where a flood in 2001 revealed an ancient Bronze Age necropolis. Local residents began selling
00:47:18the artifacts, thus revealing the existence of a previously unknown culture. Archaeologists were amazed
00:47:24by the scale of the discovery and started to study the site. Excavating the main necropolis of
00:47:29Maktutabad and two burial mounds, south and north Konar-Sendal, discovering remains of ancient
00:47:35structures and evidence of a highly developed civilization. In 2003, under the leadership of
00:47:40Yousef Majidzadeh, systematic excavations began, lasting several years and revealing amazing artifacts and
00:47:46evidence of an ancient city existing here. Debates about the origin and significance of the Jirov culture
00:47:52continue. Some scholars consider it to be the legendary errata from Sumerian texts, while others suggest
00:47:58an association with the ancient kingdom of Marhashi. Despite the differences in opinions,
00:48:03the excavations in Jirov have provided invaluable information about an ancient civilization,
00:48:07leaving much room for further research and discoveries.
00:48:10The mystery of the Elora Caves? In India, in the state of Maharashtra,
00:48:16there is an amazing cave complex known as the Elora Caves. This architectural masterpiece,
00:48:21which includes 34 caves, is carved directly into the rock and represents a unique combination of
00:48:26Buddhist, Hindu and Jain temples. The age of the structures dates back to the period between
00:48:31the 6th and 10th centuries AD. The Elora Caves amaze with their precision and complexity.
00:48:37Some of them are enormous in size and feature exquisite details carved with astonishing precision.
00:48:43The Kailasa temple is especially impressive, carved out of a single rock mass, and is considered
00:48:49the largest monolithic structure in the world.
00:48:51The technologies and methods used to create such complex and precise structures remain a mystery
00:48:56to this day. This has given rise to many theories, including suggestions of extraterrestrial
00:49:02involvement. Some researchers believe that ancient builders might have possessed knowledge and
00:49:07technologies passed down by extraterrestrial civilizations. This unique complex remains one of
00:49:13the most intriguing archaeological discoveries, offering more questions than answers.
00:49:19the skeleton with an intact brain. Imagine a giant mount, covering 45 hectares,
00:49:25which looks like a heart in aerial photographs. It's not called the heart of Western Anatolia for
00:49:30nothing. And now, the most interesting part. For the first time in the history of Turkish archaeology,
00:49:36scientists have discovered well-preserved remains of skin, as well as remnants of a brain. Imagine brain
00:49:41remnants that are already 3,700 years old. Findings of such antiquity are truly incredible. So,
00:49:48who were these people? It was a young guy, about 15 to 18 years old and a middle-aged man.
00:49:53Apparently,
00:49:53their house was set on fire during the Bronze Age and they didn't manage to escape. It's frightening to
00:49:58imagine that it was thanks to this fire that their remains were so well-preserved. This amazing burial
00:50:04mound was the true capital of its region in ancient times. But around 1700 BC it was completely destroyed as
00:50:11a
00:50:11result of an attack. And now the main question. How is this possible? How could remains of the brain and
00:50:17skin be preserved for such a long time, thanks to the extremely high temperatures of the fire? This is
00:50:23truly a unique and rare discovery. Mummification of meat. Many have heard of King Tutankhamun,
00:50:31but not many know that he was buried with 48 boxes of beef and poultry. In order to provide the
00:50:38pharaoh with food in the afterlife, his burial preparations included food supplies. New research
00:50:43by archaeologists reveals interesting burial customs of ancient Egypt. It turns out that the meat
00:50:50buried with the pharaohs was mummified by treating it with special balms for preservation. This meat,
00:50:56called meat mummies, was common in Egyptian burials, with the oldest samples dating back more
00:51:02than 5000 years and the most recent being 1600 years ago. The latest study included the analysis of
00:51:10four samples of meat mummies dated between 1386 and 948 BC, which were found in the tombs of high-ranking
00:51:18individuals. Among the meat delicacies were beef ribs, veal and goat meat. Scientists conducted a
00:51:24chemical analysis of the meat and the wrappings used to cover it. They discovered that animal fat was used
00:51:31to coat the wrappings of the goat and the calf, indicating its use as a preservative. However,
00:51:37the cattle ribs contained traces of a complex balm made from fat or oil and resin from the pistachia
00:51:42tree, which was a luxury in ancient Egypt. About 600 years later, after being used in the mummification
00:51:48of meat, this balm began to be used for human mummies as well. A shocking discovery by miners.
00:51:55Sometimes miners come across unusual artifacts that can surprise even archaeologists. In 2008,
00:52:02an unusual discovery was made at a depth of 900 meters in the Zapadnaya mine in Donetsk-Rostov region.
00:52:09In sandstones dating back to the Carboniferous period, 360 to 300 million years ago, a wheel imprint was
00:52:16found. The mining foreman Kosatkin, who worked in the mine, shared photographs of the find. According to him,
00:52:22the mine was classified as dangerous due to the risk of sudden coal and gas emissions,
00:52:27and the management prohibited the investigation of the object and ordered the work to be sped up.
00:52:32As a result, another smaller print, which was discovered later, was not extracted for study.
00:52:38Kosatkin claimed that other amazing discoveries were found in the mine, which was closed and flooded
00:52:43in 2009, including prints of giant snakes and possibly winged lizards.
00:52:48He also mentioned other unusual finds in coal mines around the world, including a wall made of stone
00:52:54blocks and hieroglyphs. These stories, despite their fantastical nature, make us wonder about the
00:53:00possibility of ancient civilizations that we still don't know about. Such discoveries can open new
00:53:07horizons for archaeology and history, although official science often ignores such evidence,
00:53:12humans, considering them miners' tales. What do you think? Could these mysterious findings really be
00:53:18evidence of ancient civilizations, or are they just coincidences? Write your opinion in the comments.
00:53:25The Mystery of the Jiraft Civilization
00:53:27In Iran, in the ancient city of Jiraft, archaeologists discovered unique artifacts.
00:53:42Particular attention is drawn to figures with elongated heads and large eyes, which resemble
00:53:47descriptions of extraterrestrial beings. The images on the artifacts of the Jiraft civilization are so
00:53:53unique and different from other known ancient cultures that some researchers have put forward
00:53:58the hypothesis of possible contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. These hypotheses are based on the
00:54:05idea that ancient artists might have depicted what they saw or heard about. The findings also include
00:54:10complex geometric patterns and symbols that have not yet been deciphered. This only adds to the mystery
00:54:16of this ancient culture. The Jiraftian civilization, thanks to its mysterious artifacts, attracts the
00:54:22attention not only of archaeologists, but also of enthusiasts of mysticism and the unexplained.
00:54:27A ship in Serbia. At the site of the ancient Roman camp of Vimanasium, which was the capital of the
00:54:33ancient
00:54:33province of Moesa, Serbian archaeologists are studying the remains of a 13-meter river vessel.
00:54:38This historical camp is located 144 kilometers southeast of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.
00:54:45It is not the first time that coal miners have found ancient traces of past life in this area.
00:54:50Unfortunately, the ship has not been preserved in its entirety and was damaged. However, as the archaeologists
00:54:55noted, the wood is in good condition. Specialists have already moved the remains of the vessel to
00:55:00the archaeological camp for further research. Now scientists are trying to determine which period
00:55:05the discovered vessel belongs to. According to experts, the vessel could date back to either the
00:55:10Roman era or the last century. Archaeologists plan to seek funding from the Ministry of Culture of
00:55:16Serbia to continue their research. When the museum is built, visitors will be able to see all the
00:55:21ships and boats found along this stretch of the Danube.
00:55:26A petrified book. Archaeologists from Australia stumbled upon a mysterious artifact resembling a book,
00:55:32which is estimated to be over 330 million years old.
00:55:36Yes, I know that not everyone likes it when I talk about thousands and millions of years.
00:55:42That's why this discovery sparked a lot of debate and speculation among scientists.
00:55:47Tomasz Kaminski, a researcher of antiquity, claims that they found a mineralized book with a metal
00:55:52binding but it can no longer be read. Professor of archaeology Jane Ball was also amazed by the find,
00:55:59although she expressed doubts about its antiquity. Other experts are surprised at how the pages of the
00:56:04book have been preserved for millions of years. Professor of geology Ian Plymer explains that under
00:56:10certain conditions, in an oxygen-free environment and under pressure, paper can become fossilized.
00:56:17Kaminski believes that the depth at which the book was found indicates its authenticity.
00:56:22Nevertheless, the question remains, why does the book look like a modern copy?
00:56:26Could this be an artifact left behind by a time traveler?
00:56:292. Ancient Pre-Columbian Structures
00:56:33The ancient mysteries of the Amazon continue to come to light, despite centuries of mystery.
00:56:40Modern technological methods are beginning to reveal the scale of ancient civilizations that once
00:56:46existed in this place. With the help of modern lidar technology, which uses light to measure distance,
00:56:52researchers Vinicius Peripato and Luis Aragao, in collaboration with photographer Diego Gurgel,
00:56:58made a remarkable discovery. They managed to discover more than 20 earthworks created by
00:57:03ancient indigenous people, which had previously gone unnoticed. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:57:10Scientists suggest that deep within the forest, there may be another 10,000 to 24,000 similar
00:57:16structures hidden. According to research from the National Institute for Space Research of Brazil,
00:57:21indigenous people have inhabited the Amazon basin for more than 12,000 years. However,
00:57:25the full extent of their presence and interaction with nature has not yet been studied. Diego Gurgel,
00:57:32who conducted the aerial photography, helped to reveal stunning geoglyphs,
00:57:36huge geometric figures buried in the forest.
00:57:41A 15-million-year-old fossil, Emily Bezdik, a volunteer at the Calvert Marine Museum,
00:57:48discovered on a beach in Maryland a unique fossil of a dolphin-like creature that lived about 15
00:57:54million years ago. The discovery was made during a walk on the beach, where the woman found a part of
00:57:59a
00:57:59skull measuring 76 centimeters long and weighing about 23 kilograms, Stephen Groff, a museum employee,
00:58:07studied the fossil and identified it as belonging to an extinct species of marine animals similar to
00:58:13dolphins that lived in the sea covering Maryland millions of years ago. These creatures grew to a
00:58:18length of 3.5 to 4.5 meters. They lived during the Miocene epoch, 12 to 20 million years ago.
00:58:26The reasons for their extinction remain unknown, and the fossilized skull will be displayed at the
00:58:32Calvert Marine Museum, where scientists will continue to study it.
00:58:37Sculptures of San Agustin in the depths of the tropical forests of Colombia, in the San Agustin
00:58:42Archaeological Park. Amazing figures of an ancient culture were discovered. These sculptures, created
00:58:48more than a thousand years ago, amaze with their mysterious shapes and unusual features. Local
00:58:54archaeologists and researchers believe that they may represent mythical creatures or even extraterrestrials.
00:59:00The San Agustin sculptures depict anthropomorphic and zoomorphic beings with disproportionately large heads,
00:59:05big eyes and strange accessories. Some figures have wings, while others have anthropomorphic
00:59:12bodies with animal features. These features raise many questions about the beliefs and symbolism of
00:59:17the ancient culture. One of the most unsettling figures is the so-called flying man, who resembles
00:59:23modern depictions of an alien with wings. Some researchers suggest that these sculptures may have been
00:59:30connected to astronomical observations or rituals aimed at communicating with celestial beings.
00:59:35The San Agustin Archaeological Park is the largest collection of prehistoric monumental sculptures
00:59:41in South America, featuring more than 500 statues. These artifacts provide a unique insight into a culture
00:59:48that left behind few written records, but enriched the world with its mysterious art.
00:59:54Hidden caches in the lost city? Have you heard about the lost city of Tenea in Greece?
01:00:00Well, recently archaeologists discovered several ancient caches of coins there. Many people used to
01:00:06think that Tenea was just a myth, but everything changed in 1984 when local residents, while digging a well,
01:00:13stumbled upon an ancient sarcophagus. Further excavations yielded even more interesting finds.
01:00:18Researchers discovered a huge Roman building with an area of 156 square meters and unique stone masonry.
01:00:25Inside this building, archaeologists found a cache with 18 coins, a key, a stylus, and Roman pottery.
01:00:32In another place, another cache was found with 2,100 coins, which date back to the 5th and 6th centuries.
01:00:39Among these coins, there are especially valuable specimens depicting ancient rulers.
01:00:43In addition, archaeologists found many figurines intended for sacrifices.
01:00:47And here's another surprise. Scientists discovered a Roman tomb, where a small child was buried.
01:00:53Inside this tomb, they found amazing artifacts, including rare coins and lamps depicting the god Ares.
01:00:59Tenea is indeed often mentioned in Greek myths.
01:01:02According to one legend, this city was founded by Trojan prisoners of war around 1100 BC.
01:01:09This incredible story proves that even lost cities can reveal their secrets after thousands of years.
01:01:15And who knows what else awaits us in Tenea?
01:01:20Treasures in the oldest tomb
01:01:22In the southwestern part of China, archaeologists discovered an intact tomb from the western Han dynasty
01:01:27in the Wulong district of Chongqing municipality.
01:01:30The tomb, discovered during rescue excavations before the construction of a hydroelectric power station on the Wuzhong river,
01:01:36contained more than 600 valuable items made of wood, bamboo, ceramics and bronze, dated to 193 BC.
01:01:45This discovery became an important testament to the history and culture of that time.
01:01:49The tomb remained submerged for most of the year, which contributed to its preservation and protection
01:01:54from destruction and looting. According to the project leader,
01:01:58Huan Wei, the study of the artifacts will provide new insights into the lives of people in this region about
01:02:032000 years ago.
01:02:05For example, the discovered jade tableware indicates the high social status of the tomb's owner.
01:02:10This discovery is compared to the findings in Shandong province,
01:02:13where more than 110 tombs from the period between the Qin and Jin dynasties were excavated.
01:02:19In some tombs, items made of gold, silver, bronze and ceramics were found,
01:02:23and frescoes from the Yuan dynasty period with traditional Chinese patterns symbolizing prosperity
01:02:28have also been preserved.
01:02:31Mummified crocodiles
01:02:33In a new study published this year in PLOS ONE, scientists from Belgium and Spain described
01:02:38an unusual method of crocodile mummification.
01:02:41In the Egyptian village of Kubat al-Hawa, around the 5th century BC, crocodiles held a special place in Egyptian
01:02:48culture.
01:02:49They were associated with the deity Sobek, served as a source of food, and their parts were used in medicine.
01:02:55Although mummified crocodiles are often found during excavations, they are rarely subjected to detailed analysis.
01:03:01This time, the researchers decided to conduct such an analysis on 10 mummies from Kubat al-Hawa.
01:03:06The researchers determined that the mummies represent two species of crocodiles,
01:03:10ranging in size from 1.5 to 3.5 meters.
01:03:14A distinctive feature of this mummy is the absence of resin or bitumen,
01:03:18which indicates a drying process in hot sand before burial.
01:03:21This method was characteristic until the Polemaic era, when resin began to be actively used.
01:03:27In some mummies, pieces of linen and palm leaves were found, used after the bodies had dried.
01:03:33A mourning ring with the eye of the deceased.
01:03:37This is a unique Victorian ring, created at the end of the 19th century.
01:03:42It has an unusual feature.
01:03:44The deceased glass eye is used as the main element.
01:03:47Dr. Lindsay Fitzharris explains that the first artificial eyes appeared in the 15th century
01:03:52and were made of gold with colored enamel decoration.
01:03:56By the 16th century, Venetian craftsmen had discovered a new way to make artificial eyes out of glass,
01:04:01which could be inserted into the eye socket.
01:04:04Although the first glass prostheses were quite crude, uncomfortable and fragile,
01:04:09the Venetian method was considered the best in the world at that time.
01:04:13By the mid-19th century craftsmen from Thuringia, a region of Germany,
01:04:18made a breakthrough by perfecting the glass formula for making higher quality artificial eyes.
01:04:24However, in the 1940s, glass gave way to plastic, which was more comfortable and more durable.
01:04:31The Yonaguni Monument, off the coast of Japan, near Yonaguni Island,
01:04:36lies one of the most mysterious underwater objects, the Yonaguni Monument.
01:04:42This massive stone complex was discovered in 1986 by Japanese diver Kihachiro Aratake.
01:04:49The structure lay at a depth of about 25 meters and resembles giant terraces and platforms,
01:04:55giving the impression of an ancient megalithic complex.
01:04:59The origin of the Yonaguni Monument remains a subject of debate.
01:05:03Some scientists believe that the structure is a natural geological formation that has undergone
01:05:08erosion. However, the symmetry and distinct lines resembling steps and walls lead many
01:05:13researchers to suggest that this is a man-made structure. Supporters of the ancient civilization
01:05:19theory point to possible similarities with other megalithic structures, such as the pyramids of
01:05:25Egypt or the constructions in Malta. These hypotheses raise questions about what technologies
01:05:30could have been used to create such structures thousands of years ago.
01:05:33The most intriguing is the hypothesis of extraterrestrial intervention.
01:05:38Some researchers believe that such complex massive constructions could only have been built
01:05:43with the knowledge and technologies passed on by extraterrestrial visitors.
01:05:46The Yonaguni Monument continues to attract the attention of scientists and mystery enthusiasts from
01:05:52all over the world.
01:05:53A turtle figurine
01:05:55In England, near the village of Vikamskeet in Suffolk, researchers with metal detectors discovered
01:06:00a copper turtle figurine from ancient Roman times.
01:06:03The figurine, about 3x3 cm in size, had no attachments, which suggests it may have belonged to a set of
01:06:10similar items. Experts date it to the early in the common era.
01:06:14Similar finds have been made in Colchester. The figurine features a typical turtle shell with
01:06:19a worn top and decorative patterns. Although one of the figurine's legs and its tail are damaged,
01:06:25its head and the other limbs are well preserved. In the ancient Roman period, turtles were associated
01:06:30with mercury, the god of commerce and travel. They were used in the making of lyres,
01:06:35musical instruments associated with mercury. There is also a theory about turtles being
01:06:40connected to Sabasius, the Phrygian and Thracian healing god.
01:06:43Victims of the Maya Ritual
01:06:46At the archaeological site of Moral Reforma, where the ancient Maya once ruled,
01:06:52scientists found 13 burials with elongated skulls.
01:06:56Yes, and these poor people were beheaded.
01:06:58I have often mentioned that the Maya had a practice of elongating skulls by reshaping
01:07:03them in childhood. It was a sign of high status. And all 13 of the newly discovered skulls
01:07:09belonged to men aged between 17 and 45 years old.
01:07:13Miriam Martinez, an anthropologist, says the skulls were cut off with a sharp object.
01:07:18Although it's unclear whether this injury caused death or happened afterward.
01:07:22And another interesting fact, some of the remains had red pigment on them.
01:07:26What it is and why it's there, scientists are still working on that question.
01:07:33Ivory dice. Archaeologists from India discovered unique rectangular ivory dice during excavations in
01:07:39Kejadeh, Sivaganga district. These dice served as entertainment items for the upper class of society
01:07:46in ancient times. This is the first time a rectangular die has been discovered in Kejadeh,
01:07:51while cubical dies were found during previous excavations.
01:07:55Archaeologists from Tamil Nadu specified that the die was found at a depth of 30 to 40 centimeters.
01:08:00Its dimensions are 4.5 centimeters in length, 0.9 centimeters in height and thickness.
01:08:06There are marks on the four sides of the die indicating the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4. In Tamil
01:08:13literature,
01:08:14this die is known as padagai kai, which means a four-sided die.
01:08:19Radiocarbon analysis of charcoal found in Kejadeh in 2017 showed that the settlement existed here
01:08:25since 200 BC proving that urban civilization in Tamil Nadu already existed during the Sangam era.
01:08:33Neolithic Obsidian. On November 20th in Naples, police retrieved a worked piece of obsidian at a depth of
01:08:39more than 30 meters off the coast of Capri, Italy. The artifact, weighing 8 kg and measuring 28 x 20
01:08:48x 15
01:08:49sinipeter found near the famous White Grotto, is believed to be part of the cargo of a sunken Neolithic ship.
01:08:55The search continues and researchers hope to find other debris and possibly fragments of the ship.
01:09:01Obsidian, a volcanic glass, was used in the Neolithic era to make tools and cutting instruments.
01:09:06At the end of the 19th century, a cache of obsidian blocks and more than 800 obsidian artifacts,
01:09:13about 7,000 years old, was discovered on Capri. Analysis showed that they came from Lipari,
01:09:19a volcanic island near Sicily. This indicates ancient trade between the islands.
01:09:25Spaceship in Turkey. In Turkey, near the city of Şanlıurfa, is one of the most mysterious
01:09:31archaeological sites in the world. Göbekli Tepe. This complex, which is over 12,000 years old,
01:09:38consists of massive stone structures arranged in circles. Göbekli Tepe is considered the oldest known
01:09:44temple complex on earth. The megaliths, up to 6 meters high and weighing several tons, are impressive
01:09:50for their precision and craftsmanship. The stone slabs are decorated with carvings depicting animals and
01:09:56abstract symbols. This level of art and engineering raises many questions about how ancient people
01:10:02were able to create such complex structures without modern technology. Researchers suggest
01:10:07that the construction of Göbekli Tepe might have been connected to extraterrestrial technologies.
01:10:12These hypotheses are based on the unusual precision and scale of the complex, which according to some,
01:10:18could only have been achieved with the help of advanced technologies,
01:10:21mysteries, possibly provided by alien civilizations. Göbekli Tepe continues to attract the attention of
01:10:27scientists and enthusiasts from all over the world, fueling interest in ancient mysteries and
01:10:31possible contacts with extraterrestrial beings. Graphite phallus. And now, here's another story
01:10:38about a phallus, this time a graphite one. In Northern Mongolia, at the archaeological site of Tolbor,
01:10:4421 scientists discovered an artifact that is 42,000 years old. And you know what? It's the oldest
01:10:50symbolic phallus in Eurasia. When Alexander Fedorchenko, a specialist in studying traces of human
01:10:56activity, first saw the object under a microscope, he immediately realized that it looked like a phallus.
01:11:02But other scientists didn't believe him at first. They thought it was just a stone with an engraving.
01:11:08After conducting research, they discovered that the object had been broken and used as a pendant.
01:11:13Here's an interesting fact, friends. The object is made of graphite. And the nearest deposit of this
01:11:18mineral is located 100 kilometers from Tolbor, 21. That's quite a mystery for archaeology detectives.
01:11:25But most importantly, this is currently the oldest image of a phallus in Eurasia and the only phallic
01:11:31pendant from the Paleolithic era in the world. It was found in a layer of earth that is as much
01:11:36as
01:11:3642,000 years old. The scientist, Yevgeny Rybin, clarified that this discovery shows that even in
01:11:42those ancient times, gender characteristics, both male and female, played an important role in human
01:11:48symbolism. Three skulls and high-tech devices. Let's talk about a mystery that I managed to discover
01:11:55literally while digging through the internet. And although there is little information about this
01:12:00and not a single article has been confirmed by official sources, I believe that I simply have
01:12:05to share this with you. In 2014, according to some reports, Russian scientists found three human
01:12:11skulls in Antarctica. They are more than 80,000 years old. They found them in a thawed cave. It is
01:12:18reported that the Russian researchers got there before their American colleagues, despite the American's
01:12:24strong desire to get there. This story became a hot topic among supporters of the theories about the
01:12:29existence of Atlantis and Hyperborea. Some claim that the skulls belong to representatives of the
01:12:35mythical civilizations. According to reports, in 2019, an article appeared stating that the skulls
01:12:41were elongated like those of Peruvians from the Paracas caves. And here's the catch. After 2019,
01:12:47there was even less information. But an interesting detail came from America. Steve Alex Bonnet, a former
01:12:54polar explorer, stated in one of the podcasts that the Russians found not only skulls, but also technologies
01:12:59from ancient civilizations. Moreover, he suggested that this civilization could have been extraterrestrial.
01:13:05Maybe all of this is just made up. But let's imagine that it's true. Then the Russian polar explorers
01:13:11found technologies from ancient civilizations, maybe even alien ones. And it's not surprising that the
01:13:16Academy of Sciences is trying to hide this information. If all of this is true, then the polar explorers
01:13:22delivered these artifacts to scientific institutes, where they are currently being studied. And who knows,
01:13:27maybe soon we'll learn about new technological breakthroughs thanks to their work.
01:13:31So let's wish the scientists good luck and dive into the next archaeological find together.
01:13:37The composition of ancient Roman perfumes. Today, we're going on an exciting journey into the past.
01:13:43Imagine that you are researchers from the University of Cordoba. And for the first time,
01:13:48we managed to discover the composition of Roman perfumes that are more than 2000 years old.
01:13:52It all started in 2019 in the municipality of Carmona, where archaeological finds were discovered during
01:13:58the restoration of a building. The workers contacted the city administration. And what did they find?
01:14:04A mausoleum that is 2000 years old, with eight niches, all of them in excellent condition. The common
01:14:11tomb contained the remains of six members of a wealthy family. And there were many different objects with
01:14:16them, including a quartz container with solid contents. The quartz amphora was something unusual,
01:14:22because such vessels were usually made of glass. And quartz is a rather hard, durable material,
01:14:28so it was an expensive and quite rare item. But the most amazing thing was inside the amphora.
01:14:34It was an ancient perfume that survived thanks to the vessel's tight seal.
01:14:38A team from the University of Cordoba, led by Professor José Rafael Ruiz Bola, analyzed this perfume,
01:14:44which is already more than 2000 years old. Their findings were published in the scientific journal
01:14:49Heritage. The researchers used various techniques to determine the composition of the perfume,
01:14:55including X-ray diffraction and gas chromatography. The perfume had two components, a base or binding
01:15:01agent that helped preserve the scent and the essence itself. In our case, olive oil was used
01:15:07as the base. Interestingly, according to the analysis, ancient Rome smelled like patchouli,
01:15:13which is an essential oil derived from the Indian plant Pogostemon cablin. It is widely used in
01:15:19modern perfumery, but its use in Roman times was unknown. So friends, that's how scientists decipher
01:15:26the secrets of the past, and give us a chance to smell the scent of ancient Rome. If you had
01:15:31the
01:15:31opportunity to get a real piece of jewelry or perfume from the ancient world, not to sell and make money
01:15:37from it but to wear or keep at home as a souvenir, what would it be? Jewelry? Which ancient empire's

01:15:55A flute with the voice of a hawk. Now let's go to Israel, to the site of the ancient settlement
01:16:01of Ain
01:16:01Malaha. Here, under a layer of earth more than 12,000 years old, seven unique flutes made from
01:16:08thin bird bones were discovered. Just imagine, these instruments were made by our ancestors from
01:16:12the bones of predatory birds. Moreover, scientists are sure that the choice of bones and the placement
01:16:17of holes in them were not accidental. With their help, you can produce sounds very similar to the
01:16:23cries of predatory birds. According to researchers, these flutes were not musical instruments,
01:16:28but were used for hunting. A Malaha is an ancient settlement of the Natufians, the first hunter-gatherers
01:16:34who decided to settle in this place, but at the same time did not give up hunting, fishing, and
01:16:39gathering fruits and plants. And they even learned to practice agriculture and animal husbandry.
01:16:44In Malaha is located near Lake Hula, where migratory birds stopped to rest. Based on the findings,
01:16:51the local residents actively hunted waterfowl that wintered on the lake. These flutes had from one to four
01:16:57holes, which just like in modern flutes were covered with fingers. Some even had a mouthpiece.
01:17:03And around the holes there are many scratches and marks, proving that the instruments were actively
01:17:08used. Researchers conducted an experiment and made similar flutes from duck bones. The sounds they
01:17:14produced turned out to be very similar to the cries of birds of prey, kestrels, and sparrowhawks.
01:17:20It is assumed that hunters used these sounds to attract birds, and then used their claws and feathers for
01:17:26decorations. He was buried together with a woman. Today we have something special for you. An amazing
01:17:35archaeological discovery, straight from the heart of China. Imagine that archaeologists have unearthed
01:17:40a very old and complex horse saddle. This is possibly the oldest saddle ever found. The discovery was made
01:17:47in the distant Xinjiang-Yougur autonomous region of China, in the arid Töpan basin. It was found in the
01:17:53grave of a woman at the Yanghai cemetery. She was probably a rider, because the saddle was placed
01:17:58under her as if she were sitting on it. The saddle remained intact there for about 2,700 years thanks
01:18:04to the dry desert climate. It was made from two cowhide cushions filled with a mixture of straw,
01:18:09deer hair, and camel wool. Even for us living in the 21st century, that sounds pretty comfortable, doesn't it?
01:18:16Analysis showed that the saddle was made sometime between 724 and 396 BC, which makes it possibly the
01:18:24oldest saddle in history. This is important because previously we thought that the first saddle was
01:18:30made by the Scythians, the nomadic people who lived in the Eurasian steppes. Archaeologist from the
01:18:35University of Zurich, Patrick Wertmann, said that this discovery could shift the starting point of
01:18:39saddle making history to a different date. It is possible that the woman who owned the saddle belonged to
01:18:44the Subeksi culture, which inhabited this region about 3,000 years ago. Now we know that domesticated
01:18:50horses appeared about 6,000 years ago, but at first they were used for milk and meat. Horseback riding
01:18:57as we know it today probably began only about a thousand years after that. The first riders used
01:19:02simple mats tied to the horse's back as shown on Assyrian reliefs. And the oldest real saddle that we know
01:19:10of may have been created in Central Asia around the middle of the first millennium BC. Researchers
01:19:15suggest that the Subeksi culture may have had contact with the Scythians, since they had similar weapons
01:19:21and clothing. While the Scythians were nomads, the Subeksi people most likely practiced animal husbandry
01:19:27in the Turfan basin. The mystery of the Nan Madol ruins. The ruins of Nan Madol are a unique ancient
01:19:34city in
01:19:35Micronesia, located on artificial islands in a lagoon off the coast of Pompeii. This mysterious complex,
01:19:41built from giant basalt blocks, is a sophisticated system of canals and structures, constructed on more
01:19:46than 90 artificial islands. The age of the structures is estimated to be over a thousand years, and their
01:19:52purpose still remains unclear. The structure and construction technology of Nan Madol is impressive in
01:19:57its scale and complexity. Some blocks weigh up to 50 tons, and it is still unknown how the ancient builders
01:20:03moved
01:20:04and placed them with such precision. This mystery has led to many hypotheses,
01:20:09including suggestions about possible extraterrestrial knowledge or technologies used in the construction.
01:20:14Local legends speak of magic and supernatural forces used during the construction of the city.
01:20:20The ruins of Nan Madol remain one of the most mysterious archaeological discoveries in the world,
01:20:25attracting the attention of both scientists and mystery enthusiasts. This ancient city,
01:20:29surrounded by water and myths, offers a unique window into the past, and makes one wonder about
01:20:35possible contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations. As you can see, there are many mysteries and
01:20:40unexplained phenomena in our history that lead us to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life
01:20:45in the past and that our ancestors had contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Do you believe in the
01:20:51existence of something like this? Write your opinion in the comments below the video. Thank you for watching. Goodbye everyone!
