NEWEST ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES IN 2022

All of us living in the world today are a product of the people, places, and civilizations that came before us.

That means we'll always have an interest in discovering more about the world as it existed years ago.

And so it's a good thing that we find out new information all the time. In this article, with video, we're going to look at some of the most amazing recent finds in the fields of archaeology and paleontology, some of which have to be believed.

 

We're starting off in Egypt, where construction work has revealed a long Lost Temple hidden away on the banks of higher the ancient structure, which is 2200 years old! was found in the city of Tama.

And is covered in engravings that make reference to the king to lemme the fourth this particular pharaoh of ancient Egypt has always been a fascinating subject for historians because it appears he never really wanted to be a pharaoh at all.

He was shy about making big decisions during his reign. And was more interested in pursuing the creative arts.

Eventually, his lack of firm leadership led to his people rising up against him, and he was overthrown and deposed.

Thus far 3 of the walls of the old temple have been on Earth and professionals are slowly and painstakingly working to reveal the rest of what's left of the building.

Aside from the written references to the king, there are also carvings of hoppy the Egyptian God.

Comparisons to Excalibur the legendary sword of King Arthur were on everybody's mind after a recent discovery in Bosnia, a team of divers swam 40 feet to the bottom of the verbiage River and recognize to retrieve a sword that had been embedded in stone at the bottom of the river for centuries.

 

It isn't the real sword of King Arthur of course, we can't be sure such a sword ever existed, but it's a rare and surprising find and its own.

The long sword is of a style that has a rude name. We won't repeat it here, but it's a word used to describe an illegitimately born male.

It comes from the 14th century, a time when castles, wreckage, and rec advice were in use, as opposed to being the ruin that it is today.

Only one other sword from this era has ever been found in the country. And so once it's been cleaned up, it's expected to become a popular museum exhibit.

What makes this recent discovery of a Roman chariot and two horses in Croatia so unusual is that it's so complete and so well preserved.

Only very wealthy families would have been able to afford to get a burial 1700 years ago when the burial mound was created, and there would have been an elaborate funeral ritual to go along with it.

When the remains were interred. It's likely that whoever was buried here along with their horses, was an extremely important and notable person in the Pannonian basin during that time, given the size of the burial mound.

Experts think it was likely used to house a whole family rather than one specific individual.

So they're expecting to find more remains as they go about the process of excavating the entire site somewhat unpleasantly.

It's likely that the horses were still alive at the time of the burial, as they would have been intended to serve their owner in the afterlife.

You don't have to be an archaeologist to make a stunning discovery. Even if someone can do it if they have an inquisitive mind and an interest in the sciences.

Science obsessed is Yong Yong zi, who is 10 years old was playing with stones in the Dong River area of China's Guangdong Province when he stumbled across a fine which has got archaeologists in his home country, extremely excited.

All zon wanted to do was find a stone that was small and firm enough to help him crack walnuts.

But in his search, he came across a series of objects that didn't look like any rocks he'd seen before.

He didn't know what they were, but he knew they were worth further investigation. He called his mother over and she correctly suspected that they might be dinosaur eggs.

She got in touch with experts who verified that the 11 eggs Zong had found were indeed from dinosaurs and date back to the Early Cretaceous period that makes them more than 66 million years old.

Sticking with the theme of dinosaurs for a moment, paleontologists have recently discovered the remains of a completely new and hitherto unknown species of dinosaur in Australia.

Acacia that the remains were found in once formed in the ancient rift valley between Australia and Antarctica some 120 million years ago.

If there's any creature on Earth today that bears a resemblance to this small dinosaur, it would be the gazelle.

Based on its physiology, we can say with certainty that it would have been a very fast runner when it rested on its hind legs and would have been no larger than a kangaroo.

The size of the jaw is suggested it probably preferred to eat birds when it came to mealtime. The distinctive jaws have also given the dinosaur its name.

It's been called Galliano, Soros because the jawbone looks a little like an old Galleon style sailing ship this is the 2^nd new dinosaur discovery in Australia in recent years. The herb eating quanta Soros was also found there last year.

 

We know that our ancestors were big fans of building stone circles 1000s of years ago.

What we're less clear on why they did it and in some cases, even how they did it. All of those mysteries surround the recently discovered underwater stone circle that has been found beneath Lake Constance.

The formation of stones there which were unquestionably placed by human hands runs parallel to the shoreline of Switzerland and is even called the Swiss Stonehenge buy some people within the media.

Although the 8-foot wide stones are now 15 feet below the surface of the water. Scientists believe that at the time they were laid 5000 years ago, they would have either been on the shoreline or in a very shallow water, landscape.

It's quite a lot and all the years since any speculation about what the stones were used for is just guesswork.

They could have been burial mounds weird or even signposts indicating some kind of primitive trade route.

While we might never know whether or not the Swiss Stonehenge was a burial ground, we can say without hesitation that this next recent discovery is it's a Pictish mass grave, and when it's fully excavated, it may turn out to be the largest ever found in Scotland.

Researchers found the burial site which is on Scotland's Black Isle in September this year.

There's a range of Barrows, various shapes and sizes. They're the smallest of which measures 25 feet across and the largest covering more than 130 feet.

It's believed they've been there for approximately 1400 years. The discovery marks the end of a prolonged period of searching for the archaeologists who found it.

They were tipped off about its possible existence when they found a stone 6 miles away from the site earlier in the year, which strongly suggested that there had been previously unknown Pictish activity in the area.

tantalizingly there is some indication that depicts may have actually reused a much older burial site. Some of the artifacts discovered so far appear to be prehistoric in nature.

 

When this Roman ship went down off the coast of Menorca, some 1700 years ago, someone missed out on a large delivery of beautiful.

We do have some good news though. Despite being underwater for such a long time. The containers are still in excellent condition.

It may still be possible to complete the delivery. They're just a few centuries late. The shipwreck is of a wooden boat approximately 35 feet wide and was probably a trading ship.

It's unknown what caused it to sink it was barely 100 feet from the coast when it went down.

It's possible that it was overloaded and sank almost immediately when it set off from the shore.

Still sealed and therefore probably still olive oil or fish sauce which they were generally used to transport.

Experts are now hoping that if they exercise great caution, they may be able to bring them to the surface and open them if they do turn out to contain wine we don't recommend that anyone tries to drink it.

 

Historically, ancient humans spread more quickly through the open plains than they did through rainforests.

Because rainforests were hot, tightly packed, and full of savage animals. We naturally assumed that human settlers would avoid them and look for open ground elsewhere.

Now we have to reevaluate that opinion because of the discovery of some 45,000-year-old quartz tools in Sri Lanka.

They're the oldest tools ever discovered in rainforests of South Asia. It's thought that they were specifically designed to attack animals living in the trees.

So they can be caught and eaten. similar tools around the same age have been found in Europe many times, but never in this part of the world.

Even more, interestingly, they're not dissimilar to tools that were uncovered in the fall behind cave a few years ago.

And those secret tools were only 4000 years old. It appears that human technology in Sri Lanka progressed. it is almost 40,000 years.

 

Early Christians had to be very careful about where and how they showed their faith because of fear of persecution, but it didn't stop them from creating beautiful works of art.

Now when such work of artists has been discovered in an ancient church close to the Sea of Galilee 1500 years after it was created, the mosaic which depicts Christ feeding the Father with loaves of bread was found in what's now hippos in the north of Israel.

The church was almost completely destroyed by fire sometime around the year 700.

But almost miraculously, a thick coating of ash protected the mosaic from harm. The floor of the Church, which is also a mosaic depicting two birds drinking from a goblet has also survived the passing of the centuries perfectly intact.

The location's existence has been known since about 2005, but excavation work only began earlier this year.

Archaeologists have been greatly encouraged by this amazing discovery, and we'll be hoping to find more exciting artifacts there as they continue their work.

 

Coming across a lion in the jungle would be terrifying enough for anybody. So we can't even imagine how petrified we would be if we were confronted by this newly discovered ancient species of a giant lion.

It was as big as a polar bear. Fortunately, the human race didn't exist when these gigantic beasts roamed the earth.

They became extinct approximately 20 years ago. The annoying thing about this discovery is that it could have been made far sooner.

The fossilized remains were misfiled by accident and had been hiding away in the doors of a Kenyan museum since the 1970s.

Now that they have finally been found again and properly examined, they've been given the name Simbakubwakutokaafrika, a wonderfully descriptive title, which literally translates into English as big African.

The animal would have been a part of a larger species of mammals. Known as hyena debts, all of which are long since extinct.

The name comes from the fact that the teeth of the creature resemble those of a hyena. Although there isn't thought to be any connection between the hyenas of today and the giant Lions of the distant past.

This 2 million-year-old bird might look a little bit like an ostrich or an emu, but in terms of its size, it was more like a wrap.

It was more than 11 feet tall and would have weighed 500 pounds when it was alive.

Known as Paki Struth yo DeMonte Cenis. The flightless bird was discovered on the Black Seas northern coast in 2018.

The discovery was a happy accident, road workers in the area accidentally broke open a previously unknown prehistoric cave, which is turned out to be a treasure trove for archaeologists and paleontologists alike.

The unearthing of Sabre-toothed Tiger fossils had already provoked a lot of excitement, but we didn't realize they were looking at the bones of a totally unknown creature that excitement reached a fever pitch.

Their next job will be to find out why the creature isn't alive anymore. Although you don't have to use too much imagination to work out why what was effectively a gigantic chicken would be close to the top of the menu for predators.

 

Thanks and God bless you.
