10 CRAZY DISCOVERIES THAT WILL CHANGE HISTORY

[Music] ten crazy discoveries that will change history almost every year scientists make new discoveries that often contradict what's written in our history textbooks new facts historical connections and dates appear some of them even fundamentally change our knowledge about earth we as smart as the new sexy gathered ten wondrous facts that will make you rethink your whole knowledge system stay with us to find out if there's life on Mars okay ten did China discover America thirty three hundred years ago in several US states scientists have found thousands of carved stone drawings some of them were identified as ancient Chinese scripts researchers concluded that the Asians were present in the northern part of the modern US around 1300 BC much earlier than Columbus or even the Romans while Columbus reached America and 1492 the ancient people from Asia did that around 1300 BC nearly 2800 years before the famous European the discoveries confirmed that the Chinese travel and even interacted with the Native Americans epigraph researcher John Ross camp had found and identified 84 pictograms which match unique ancient Chinese writings experts claim that the pictograms found on the rocks of Albuquerque are the same as the ones that were used by the Chinese after the end of Shang Dynasty experts on Neolithic Chinese culture had deciphered the writings that mean a sacrificial offering of a dog to the king in the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona Russ cam found a Chinese pictogram of an elephant dating to 500 BC this might mean that not only the Chinese reached the American Shore and maybe practiced trading with the locals but also traveled across the continent of course the carvings underwent long periods of weather change but they're still recognizable dr. dennis stanford of the smithsonian institution also believes that north america was first populated by people from asia during the last ice age although some people appear to be very skeptical about these findings archeologists and experts say these images can't be associated with local tribal entities if it's not enough for you we have another fact that might puzzle you even more 9 maybe the romans reached America first and probably more than a thousand years before Columbus put his foot on the american ground there are suggestions that the ancient mariners landed in America much earlier than the great Explorer a team of archeologists has found several artifacts that date back to the times when the Roman Empire still ruled Europe in the Mediterranean according to the ancient artifact Preservation Society the things found on the coastline of Oak Island in Canada include a fragment of a shield a handful of golden coins from ancient Carthage a Legionnaires whistle and a Roman sword the scientists use an x RF analyzer that uses x-ray fluorescence to identify the thickness of the metal the origin of the sword was confirmed to be 100% Roman in 1933 a tiny head sculpture was found under an old building in Mexico the heads facial features match those of Roman artifacts created in the second century BC and it looks nothing like the works of local artists of that time the archaeologists also found a collection of the third century amphoras in the Guanabara Bay near Rio de Janeiro amphoras were used to transfer dry goods and liquids particularly wine scientists from the Brazilian Institute of archeology identified them as Roman this might be very strong evidence of the fact that America was discovered by the Romans a long long time ago well it's not what we all read in our history books is it seven Antarctica was a tropical paradise although today 98% of Antarctica is covered with solid ice scientists think that 50 million years ago the South Pole was a tropical island it looks like those Madagascar Penguins were right at the end of the day back at that day the carbon concentration in the atmosphere was almost three times higher than now nowadays the ice on the continent is about three miles thick in the Beardmore glacier area of Antarctica a group of scientists headed up by Molly Miller of Vanderbilt University discovered the fossils of the trees that today grow only in warm areas of the planet having explored more territory they found the fossilized remains of thermophilus plants beyo babs and ferns as well as the ancient reptile egg theose or which lived in warm areas in 2016 another group of scientists had made a rare find fossilized four wings of a ground beetle we know it's not like a bone or something huge but you know that science needs time especially when you investigate the coldest continent on the planet the beto is claimed to live between 14 and 20 million years ago dr. Allan Ashworth from North Dakota State University with his colleague dr. Terry Aaron from the Smithsonian Institution think that this kind of bees could inhabit sparsely vegetated sand areas of the continent this amazing discovery made it possible to conclude that more than 50 million years ago the coldest most desolate place on earth was covered with palm trees and white sandy beaches we also know that there are two quite hoary maps that might prove that the continent was navigable in the not-too-distant past scientists think that they belong to the libraries of ancient Alexandria the u.s. air force cartography section claimed that the maps show the coastline before the continent was covered by the ice cap is this all getting a bit complex we think so too there are numerous questions that modern science struggles to answer how did such an immense temperature change happen was it a drift of a continent that brought Antarctica to the place where it is now or just a change of the earth axes who put this massive ice sheet on a continent will be waiting to learn more about these things 6 where else did people build the pyramids the mainstream science has become quite fraudulent regarding the late discoveries in different fields of study so here's what we know about the pyramids so far the Egyptian pyramids are perhaps the most immense and unique structures on the planet however in 2015 amateur archaeologist semir osmanagich made a sensational discovery people built pyramids in Bosnia long before the construction of the Pyramids of Giza there are three of them and the largest one is twice the size of the Pyramid of Giza 722 feet high satellite photographs and thermal imaging revealed two smaller pyramid shaped hills in the Visoko Valley they all have very linear sides with clearly defined edges beneath the soil were found huge polished stone blocks and long tunnels partially ruined some archaeologists claim that these concrete slabs are made of the hardest concrete ever found or made by man although the whole structure of the pyramids is covered by trees and grass there's a strong belief that the climate in that has changed throughout time the carbon data analysis showed that the pyramids could have been built almost thirty four thousand years ago the world's leading scholars were very skeptical about the discovery and even called it pseudo archaeological they claim that the vasilica Hill is no more than a natural formation most manage each is firmly against this and who knows maybe someday he'll find strong proof of his ideas [Music] five more rooms in the King Tut's tomb the discovery of the Tut's burial chamber has made him the most recognizable Egyptian ruler of all time but we only ruled Egypt for ten years he became a pharaoh at Ten imagine a fourth grader from your town Tutankhamun's tomb was opened in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter miraculously intact four-room tomb had been carefully excavated for the next 17 years the incredible collection of thousands of objects in pristine condition was discovered including oils perfumes toys from Pharaohs childhood precious jewellery and statues of gold and ebony King Tut's royal mummy preserved for more than 3,000 years was found in the stone sarcophagus containing three coffins Peter Fineman from the Institute of history archaeology and education says that the king's tomb gives us a glimpse into the real splendor and wealth of the ancient Egypt such fabulous wealth nothing like that happened to be discovered before today we have more facts to share with you are you ready scientists claim that there are more rooms behind the west and north walls of the burial chamber of Tutankhamun raider scans on those walls have revealed not only the presence of hidden chambers but also unidentified objects that lie within these rooms can you imagine it's like finding your Easter eggs Nicholas Reeves a British archaeologist who specializes in the Valley of the Kings says that there are traces of passageways and door openings that had been plastered and painted over during the preparation of Tut's chamber Kara Cooney an Egyptologist at UCLA who has done extensive research on the 18th dynasty thoughts period claims that Nefertiti may be buried behind the north wall of the tomb whoa we didn't see this coming come on guys scan faster because we need to know what's in there for life on Mars is there life on Mars is an extremely popular question recent discoveries might help scientists reach an agreement on the matter researchers found out that part of the red planet's surface was once covered by a huge ocean NASA research suggests Mars once had more water than Earth's arctic ocean they think that about 4.3 billion years ago Mars would have enough water to cover its entire surface in a liquid layer about 450 feet deep the ocean would have occupied the most of the northern hemisphere regions near Mars is north and south poles are the places where the polar ice caps hold the planets largest known water reservoir the volume of Mars's early ocean must have been at least five million cubic miles the ocean would have covered 19 percent of the planet's surface the data from the artificial satellites and the Mars rovers confirms that Mars used to have a higher surface temperature and that was covered with water this new data suggests that Mars could have been inhabited millions of years ago NASA's next Rover heading to Mars in 2020 will carry instruments to conduct unprecedented science and exploration technology investigations on the Red Planet okay NASA were waiting in parallel NASA is developing the human spaceflight capabilities needed for future round-trip missions to Mars in the 2030s well it's just getting more and more interesting [Music] three homers Troy was a real place is the Trojan War myth or military reality archeologists and historians try to shed light on the ancient city in the Greek poem The Iliad Prince Paris the son of Troy's King Priam kidnaps the beautiful Helen of Greece from her lawful husband King Menelaus the act of disrespect brings the two nations to cruel war and eventually Greeks lay siege to Troy Homer wrote the epic in the eighth or ninth century BC several hundred years after the war is supposed to have taken place the idea of Troy's existence goes back at least 2700 years when the ancient Greece were colonizing the west coast of Turkey the ancient city of iliyan mentioned in the poems of Homer and Virgil was discovered in northwestern Turkey in the 1870s by the Germans self-taught archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann the site of hissarlik in northwest Turkey has been identified as being Troy since ancient times the site High's nine cities built on top of each other there is a citadel in the middle and a town around it a high wall fortified the town the 7th oldest city at the site on the other hand fits the description of a city under siege and destroyed by war in 1170 5 BC archaeologists have found arrowheads in the streets could this site really be Troy and all the stories about heroes are true his sarlaac has totally blurred the line between myth and history two ingots from the legendary Atlantis the existence of the legendary Atlantis still bothers many scientists and archeologists Plato told the story of Atlantis around 360 BC the lush islands contained gold silver and other precious metals and supported an abundance of rare exotic wildlife there was a great capital city on the Central Island there are many theories about where Atlantis was in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain even under what is now Antarctica like El Dorado or shangri-la the legendary sunken city of Atlantis hovers on the horizon of our imagination however a recent discovery might end this endless dispute diver Franco Casa Reno made an amazing find near the coast of Gila in Sicily 39 ingots under a 26 hundred year old shipwreck Sebastian ou-tulsa Sicilies Superintendent of the sea office says the wreck dates to the first half of the 6th century nothing similar has ever been found we knew orichalcum from ancient texts and a few ornamental objects experts prove that the ingots were made of orichalcum a brass like alloy which was made in antiquity by cementation archaeologists claim that the discovery proves the existence of a formerly prosperous nation according to Plato orichalcum was valuable and was found in many parts of the legendary Atlantis in ancient times it was mined in the mythical island and used to cover Poseidon's temple interior walls columns and floors could this beautiful tale of a lost gorgeous city be true one giant stone spheres of Costa Rica another unsolved mystery that baffles many scientists is the origin of the giant stone spheres found in Costa Rica their shape is perfectly round and they are made of different materials limestone sandstone and magmatic rock the approximate weight is 16 ton each since the 1930s hundreds of stone balls have been documented ranging in size from two centimeters to two meters in diameter almost all of them are made of granite I write today they are often used to decorate official buildings school yards and university campuses there are no unfinished spheres of any data on how they were made the spheres were made between the Year 300 and 1500 AD by the predecessors of the Veruca culture the process of making the spheres involves chopping the surface with stone tools the ancient people used heat as it allowed to remove extra layers of stone the surface was treated with abrasives as sand to make a polished look they formed different figures on the ground triangles lines and astronomical arrangements however their intended use is still unknown and ancient civilizations left us no hints did you feel amazed startled or perplexed we thought so there's plenty of food for thought digest all the ten points we've just told you about and tell us what do you think about these amazing discoveries the world can still surprise us huh share your thoughts and smart ideas in the comment section below and if you want to see more videos like this hit the subscribe button because we all know smart is the new sexy
