Despite the fact that the ancient history has already been studied quite well, archaeologists continue to make amazing discoveries, opening the veil of secrets of the past more and more widely.
At the same time, many finds put questions that make historians scratch their heads. How, for example, was Stonehenge built? Why were the Nazi geoglyphs created? Why did the Bible of the Devil appear? Answers to these and many other questions can open up some new opportunities for modern society. That's just how to find them?
1. Roman dodecahedrons
Tentatively, they appeared in the 2nd or 3rd millennium AD. Dimensions of dodecahedrons vary from 3 to 10 centimeters. The findings are pentagons with large holes on each side and handles at each point of intersection of the faces. Dodecahedrons could be religious relics or measuring instruments. For certain it is only known that they are found all over Europe and are considered valuable finds.
2. Giant Circles
The satellites discovered eight giant circles ranging in size from 220 to 455 meters in the territory of Jordan and Syria. Why and when they were created is unknown. Archaeologists still continue excavations and do not exclude the possibility of finding new circles, which - there are reasons to believe - belong to the Early Bronze Age.
3. Copper scrolls
One of the Dead Sea Scrolls was found in 1952, and it is somewhat different from other finds. Having deciphered the letters on the copper canvas, the historians got a clue how to find the treasure chest. If you believe the scroll, the values lie in the fortress in the valley of Achor. However, so far this information has not helped the treasure hunters.
4. Writing Rongo-rongo
Plaque with symbols found on Easter Island in the 19th century. Decipher the writing still was not possible, but it is possible that this information can explain the mysterious disappearance of the local civilization.
5. Keyla Cairns
It is located in Scotland. Approximately, the stone construction of Clave Cairns was built about 4 thousand years ago. It would seem that it is unusual? And now think how the people living in those times could drag into one place such a number of massive blocks? Since the purpose of the structure is also unclear, researchers are considering different versions - from the grave to the tricks of aliens.
6. Gebekli Tepe
The debris of a structure similar to a temple was found in Turkey. Presumably, Hebekli-Tepe was built 11 thousand years ago. The find consists of carved pillars engraved on them by drawings of animals and other creatures.
7. The Mysterious Hill - American Stonehenge
He was found in Salem, New Hampshire. Who and when he lived in these caves and stone structures, it is not clear. Perhaps it's only farm buildings, and maybe once there lived Irish monks, hiding from the Vikings.
8. Balls
Las Bolas - spherical monuments located in the south of Costa Rica. Balls made of gabbro - magmatic rock are made. The purpose of these findings is inexplicable. Perhaps they helped the travelers not get lost on the road.
9. Treasure and disappearance of Sansindui
It is believed that the treasures found in 1929 belonged to representatives of the Sansindui civilization, which lived about 3 thousand years ago near the Mingjing River and disappeared in a mysterious way. What caused the latter is a mystery. Historians admit the theory of an earthquake that caused a landslide.
10. Geoclyphs of Naska
One of the greatest mysteries of archeology. Specialists to this day are puzzling over why, by whom and how these lines were made on the ground.
11. Baghdad Battery
This find is about 2 thousand years old. The battery is a clay tank with a stone stopper and an iron rod. The vessel filled with vinegar produces 1.1 volts of voltage. True, this phenomenon has no scientific evidence.
12. Derinkuyu
One of the largest underground cities in Turkey. It was built in the II - I millennium BC. e. Phrygians. Later, the first Christians used it as a cover.
13. Turin Shroud
4-meter cut fabric, which, according to legend, was wrapped in the body of Jesus, after he was removed from the cross.
14. The underwater pyramid
Not long ago a submarine pyramid was discovered in the Tiberias Lake. The diameter of the found heap of stones is about 70 meters. What this design is, is unclear. It is assumed that the pyramid was used for fishing - a lot of fish are found in the pond.
15. Stonehenge
The largest parts of this design weigh about 25 tons and in height reach 9 meters. Some of the stones were brought from West Wales - that is, such heavy materials were transported for a distance of almost 225 km. This would require a large amount of labor.
16. Sound effects in the sanctuary of Hal-Saflieni
The only known underground temple of the Bronze Age. Many historians admit that this structure was the sanctuary of the Oracle. And the most interesting thing is that in the temple there is a room, which, in fact, is a huge bell - the sounds in it are amplified several times, while outside it is not audible.
17. The Hutt Shebib
The ancient wall in Jordan is 150 kilometers long. Now it is only a ruin, but archaeologists agree that it is too high a finding and has not been before. It may well be that she simply shared farming estates.
18. The Bible of the Devil
The largest medieval manuscript in the world. Only two people can raise it at the same time. Who is the author of this creation is unknown. It is believed that the Devil's Bible could write a monk that has been imprisoned for decades.
19. Puma Punku
The construction consists of large blocks, carved with very high accuracy from the stone. It looks like a historical memo as if it were made with the help of a diamond circle. But the ancient people did not have such tools. Or were they?
20. Lunyu caves
The height of the caves in some places reaches 30 meters. None of the rooms are connected to the other. They are separated by thin walls. The age of the buildings is about 2200 years, but what is surprising is that they are not mentioned in historical documents.
21. The Superhenge
Was found near to Stonehenge. The structure consists of 90 large stones, which were found only with the help of special equipment. Why all the details of the Superhenge were underground, is not clear, but most likely, it was done on purpose.
22. Stone labyrinths on the Big Hare Island
The area of the island does not exceed 3 km2, but there was a place for labyrinths built about 30 thousand years ago. What is it really, archaeologists do not know, but admit that the labyrinth served as an altar or altar for different rituals.
23. Stone of Boil
A stone slab with geometric ornaments, presumably 5 thousand years old. The find is 13 meters long and 7.9 meters wide. The value of the figures carved on the plate is unknown.
24. 300,000-year-old copper parts
Immediately it was decided that these "coins" are fragments of test space rockets. But then we managed to find out that the finds are more than 300 thousand years old.
25. Tomb with skulls from Sanken
In the burial were found 11 human skulls, which belonged to men, women and children. All heads were strung on one count. Who and why did such terrible rituals, while it was not possible to find out.
