MYSTERIOUS ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES

Every archaeologist loves making a discovery but sometimes they wish those discoveries came with an instruction manual or at least a few clues that might explain their purpose even the most experienced and qualified archaeologists and experts in the world find themselves stumped by the things they find every now and then and when they can't find answers.

Other people try to fill in the blanks. Let’s see the most mysterious archaeological finds of our times and the strange stories behind them.

Regardless of how you feel about the level of threat presented by climate change you probably believe that fear of the changing climate is a modern phenomenon.

In fact it could date back more than 1,000 years if some of the theories about the mysterious Viking rock run stone are correct and built close to Sweden's lake vättern during the 9^th century.

The stone is covered in etchings and runes that experts have been trying to uncover the secrets of for years more than 700 runs cover every side of the monument making it the world's longest.

For many years it was believed to be a memorial to a great battle, but an alternative interpretation. Transcribe by a partnership of Swedish universities suggests a pronounced fear of extreme winters and cold summers.

Stone could even be the origin of the Vikings. The Vikings of the time would have had reason to fear the climate a chain of volcanic eruptions in 536 CE had lowered the global temperature triggering feeling crop.

Starvation much is known about the historical side of arcane and ancient fortified settlements in the southern Urals, but almost nothing is known about its potential twin settlement a lot.

Most people don't even know. The site sits on the border of Orenburg and Chelyabinsk. And it's never been fully explored.

A series of exploratory digs and surveys were once planned for the late 1990s suspended because of a lack of funding and then canceled it's high time someone went to take a closer look at it because some archaeologists believe it's 500 years older than our came and contain five and bigger ancient secrets than its twin.

The remains of a stone wall can be seen clearly marking the perimeter of the site. Considering they've been there for around 1000 years.

Their current state of dilapidation is understandable. Vincent, there was a moat beyond the wall. So whatever was at the center of the settlement was heavily defended.

Someone went to a lot of trouble to defend whatever was at the heart of olives. So the least we could do is go and see what they were protecting.

You may have seen this monkey sculpture before without ever pausing to think about how it was made, or why it's on display at the National Anthropology Museum inMexico and comes from the Aztec side of Texcoco.

There is no doubt is a beautiful work of art. But why would the ancient Aztecs choose to make sculptures out of a material that was so difficult to work with?

In truth, the art of working with the hard yet delicate rock predates the Aztecs 2500 years to the time of the Olmec the pieces would be carefully carved with knives and then polished with sand to give them a surface.

The monkey is still shiny Today, hundreds of years after it was created. We know that making the monkey would be difficult and we probably don't understand 100% of the method, but we understand even less about its purpose.

We can speculate that they were only made for as the ruling elite and the best guess of archaeologists was that they were used in funeral rites. But then again, that tends to be the best guess archaeologist for just everything I don't understand.

In archaeological discovery, doesn't have to be ancient in order to be interested in archaeology covers the finding of anything historically interesting buried in the earth.

Even if that history is very recent. In 2003, US forces in Iraq were exploring the out tocado of Baghdad in finding weapons of mass destruction.

They didn't find any, but they didn't find several combat planes, including su 25 Frogfoot fighters and MiG 25 Foxbat fighters of Soviet the wings of the plane had been removed and they'd been deliberately buried in the sand in a way that would allow them to be made serviceable.

Once they were uncovered. It's thought that the bearing of the planes was a gamble by snap. He knew planes would stand no chance in the air, he gets more advanced American and allied fighters, but if he survived the war, they could still be useful against enemies closer to home, instead of risk.

He buried them in the hope that they could be protected. As only 12 desert plains had been found so far, it stopped that far more still out there, hidden in the sand.

Sometimes a discovery does well with the established narrative of history. Whenever that happens, scientists try to explain the discrepancy away quickly in the hope that nobody will ask any further questions.

That's why these finds need to come to the tchotchke Peninsula from 2013 it was written off as an ancient fossil, but it actually appears to look a lot like a system of mechanized gears.

If it is and history as we know it would be changed forever. These gears are more than 400 million years old.

The discovery was made when hikers were traveling through the area and found the unusual design embedded in rocks.

No other thing potentially significant. They contacted archaeologist Erie Golubev, who set out to take a closer look himself.

What he found there was unlike anything he'd seen before in his life, in his own words, the fossilized cylinders contained metal parts that swing, and the teeth around the edges suggested that the cylinders once combined together to make a larger machine. Is this an out-of-place artifact or a bizarre natural formation? We cannot say.

The first discoveries of strange spiral-shaped rock formations in the state of Nebraska USA were recorded during the mid-19th century, but nobody paid much attention to them until 1891.

Geologist Dr. Eh Barber was asked to inspect a nine foot long example of the phenomenon with his own eyes.

As a geologist, he was baffled by its composition. The tube was filled with sand, and the walls were made of a white material he couldn't identify as he didn't have any better ideas.

He officially named the structures Damon alleges that local ranchers had already given them. The ranchers called them devils corkscrews, barber eventually took the step of cutting some of the corkscrews open Rodin bones inside them.

Which confused him further. De the expletive explanation is that these are the boroughs of a now-extinct relative of the beaver known as paleo caster, which lived and died 22 million years ago, and that digging them in spiral shapes defended them for its an interesting theory, but lacks solid evidence.

How much the human race is known about the moon and how long we've possessed that level of knowledge is a subject of ongoing scientific debate.

Certainly, an awful lot we didn't know until Neil Armstrong touched down on its surface in 1969. In detailed mapping of the moon is awesome, thanks to the scopes of the last 100 years or so. Or has it? This is John Russell's solino graffia a model of the lunar sphere completed in 1797 Russell spent 30 years of his life perfecting the design are made out of crochet and plaster.

Only one side of the Moon has details on it for obvious reasons. But the accuracy of the details is incredible for someone working with the equipment of the time.

The Moon's craters currently depicted as are the areas where the people of our planet once mistook for seeds.

There are features in Russell's sphere that weren't properly identified and named until decades later. A second accompanying sphere represents the earth but is much more simple.

In design, and represents Tasmania as a peninsula. In other words, Russell's Moon is more accurate than his Earth.

The only thing we can see about Ohio's great Serpent Mound is that it's enfeebled. And it's the world's largest earthwork effigy, with a total length of 13033 feet.

Anything beyond that is speculation and educated guesswork. The most widely believed you could get guess is that the Edina people built a 3 foot high sermon, but that seems to clash with the scientific evidence.

The Edina lived on these lands 3000 years ago, but disappeared just over 2000 years ago. Samples of charcoal to suggest that it's only 1000 years old.

That was the time when the fourth ancient civilization lived here, but they didn't make anything else like this that we're aware of.

Researchers and experts can't even agree on what on the surface represent. Some of them believe that it's in the process of swallowing an egg and may have fertility implications. Whereas others say the sphere close to its mouth represents the move.

We generally credit ancient Rome to be a nation of aqua ducks. Even the word Aqua duck is Roman in origin. We might have been giving that mighty civilization. A little too much credit though.

There's some evidence that the first Aqua ducks may have been the work of the Nasca people. The ancient Brutus is already known as the creator of the mysterious Nazca Lines.

With the other great monuments they've left us with are the Pooh Chios, a network of reservoirs, channels, and holes in the earth that allowed water to flow from where it felt get to where it was often the poucos ran on for miles under and across the desert, making them a monumental feat of engineering that would be considered challenging even by today's standards.

The design of the procures meant that not only could the Nasca people keep their crops watered during the prolonged droughts that often occurred on their land.

But they also had a permanent supply of drinking water because they survive while many of the civilizations and cultures around them perished.

In Golang, there's a prehistoric stone puzzle that some people believe is older than the pyramids, and might even be the Star calendar.

This is the Doom l hurry, sometimes more politically referred to as the wheel of the gods. The site defies all attempts to date it accurately or to decode its meaning.

So imaginations of both the informed and uninformed have run wild. We can all agree on the material matters in which there are five precisely arranged circles of basalt rock, at the heart of which is a car that was almost certainly a tomb before it was robbed centuries ago.

The rings are 8 feet tall with the static 15 feet. A lack of organic content means that precise dating is impossible.

And yet somehow scientists decided 5000 years old. Like Stonehenge in England will probably never truly understand who built it. Why they built it, and what they used to.

The generally accepted scientific and archaeological explanation for Klerksdorp spheres is a naturally occurring concretion laid down in sediments and then fashioned into their distinctive shape by millions of years of weathering and exposure to the elements.

That could be true, but it wouldn't explain why they're almost exclusively found in South Africa. And why some of them appear to contain traces of metal possibly having got there through concretion.

Many of the Klerksdorp spheres are the same size, shape, and color as a cricket ball right down to having seams running through the center.

That's a remarkable design for something that's occurred naturally and apparently, Mother Nature also thought to apply polish to their surfaces. Well, there's no doubt that concretion is a real phenomenon, and explains a lot of mysteries around the world. But many people feel that the Klerksdorp spheres are too specific in InDesign to have been made that way.

Where do you suppose the art of bridge building as we know it today began in Ancient Rome perhaps ancient, even more than that? How about the land that we now call a rack somewhere in the region of 5000 years ago?

That's the side of the ancient Sumerian city of Dirceu and the bridge that they built over the waterway that once existed archeologists have known about the bridge since the 1920s.

But originally thought it was either the remains of a dam or the foundations of an old temple. Only more recently has a closer examination of stone and clay tablets and references to the bridge, prompted experts to look at the site of the dam again.

This time they realized what it truly was seemingly creating one big brick at a time. This is the oldest known bridge in the world because steel has been thought of as comparatively unimportant.

It was left to rot after its initial discovery. And so being exposed to the elements for a century is taking its toll on what's there. A concentrated preservation effort is now underway.
