10 Incredible Recent Discoveries

throughout the history of mankind archeologists have made millions of incredible discoveries and it may seem like they have no more work left to do no not in the 21st century during the last few years researchers have not only totally reversed their perception of history implementing 3d modeling laser scanners aerial photography but they also made extraordinary discoveries now you can take a look into underground corridors and bunkers covered by sand you can take a look at the underwater version of the Stonehenge or delve into the quarry to see a miniature Terracotta Army want to come along with us great then get ready to see ten of the most fabulous discoveries made these last few years the first stop is at the Hoving beach in Denmark after a long storm local residents noticed something strange on their shore under the sand were hidden layers of iron which cannot be dug up when experts came onto the site and they figured out that there were three Nazi bunkers buried right in the middle of the touristic beach but these were not just iron boxes but a part of the network of bunkers that made up Hitler's Atlantic Wall he developed this secret project in 1941 while unofficially visiting France the point was that the German army could have been taken by surprise from the sea at any moment so they plan to build a giant network of bunkers along the shore from Spain to Norway including Denmark it was a proper military place with minefields artillery and even anti-tank installations who could have thought that bunkers were part of the project where are all these dangerous places from the time of the Second World War the project was cancelled when the army started retreating some of the bunkers part of the Atlantic wall were accidentally found they were hidden under the ground for 70 years the Nazi layers were literally conserved by sand abandon soda bottles newspapers and cards lay in the darkness and cold for so many years the insides of the bunkers bring to mind village patios only with tunnels instead of paths there's a storage room and living quarters the most interesting thing is that these bunkers were built in a sense by slaves for the German army prisoners of war from the Netherlands and France were sent there it's entirely possible that the reinforced concrete cubes were made by your great grandmothers and great-grandfather's but better that it was not so but seventy years is not that much archeology is capable of more how about finding a sarcophagus with the mummy of Alexander the Great the date coincides the ruler left this world approximately three hundred twenty three years BC builders were shocked when they tore down a residential building in the city of Alexandria there five meters under the ground they found a fragment of a giant male statue far under the building there's a giant black sarcophagus with a weight of 30 tons of course then a Council of military engineers and archaeologists were immediately sent there they were afraid of opening the sarcophagus it was very big and stories of the rulers curses were circulated just look the sarcophagus being 2.5 meters long 8 feet or almost 3 yards was able to fit a few people inside but relax there were in fact three mummies of soldiers in the sarcophagus not one archeologist was harmed from any curse though they were surprised to find instead of golden ornaments and stones mummy's soup yeah yeah they emanated a terrible smell the mummies turned into a real bone soup due to improper embalming but how did ordinary soldiers end up there this sarcophagus and statue was like a modern summer cottage and apartment outside of the city archaeologists came to the conclusion that a rich nobleman was preparing a tomb for himself but for some reason abandoned this venture as a result the sarcophagus was used for the burial of the poorest Alexandrians the next discovery was learned about around the world do you all remember the cool images from the last part of the mummy well archaeologists found the second Terracotta Army at the bottom of a quarry in western China to be more precise a whole miniature terracotta city with figures of musicians chariots and even models of towers look at these horses and wonderful houses you attempted to build the same out of sand by the sea until the water washed it except this is not at all a toy 2,000 years ago an ancient Chinese prince wanted 300 warriors to protect him in the afterlife though the height of the figurines does not exceed 30 centimeters or 1 foot with such an army you won't become a great general few know that stone servants were buried with the ruler instead of real slaves that is each terracotta warrior actually saved the life of at least one person despite this the Warriors don't look very realistic which can't be said about the mast of the old leader of the Maya whose wrinkles are recorded just take a look at this cast of his face from the 7th century it fully copies the shape of the head of the famous leader pack all the great creases under his eyelids nostrils lifts how could this work have been done in the early Middle Ages it looks more like a part of Michelangelo's sculpture but the most surprising thing is that over these 1,400 years the face cast made of mortar and sand did not lose its shape and if you didn't recognize the Mayan leader then you have definitely seen this multi-ton tomb in honor of him yeah like that the most magnificent Mayan building is the temple of inscriptions built as a tomb for the legendary ruler by the way his symbol was a water lily this is why they found many turtle fish and other bones around the mask during the funeral ceremony in gratitude to the great ruler they brought six warriors as sacrifice on top of the giant temple in his honor you remember like in the movie Apocalypse Now a question from the school curriculum who discovered New Zealand everyone who did at least something in class remembers it was cooked very recently archeologists found the very vessel at the bottom of the ocean that first approached the fairytale homeland of the hobbits endeavor that was the name of the legendary travelers vessel divers found the wreck at the bottom of the Atlantic it's still unclear how it got there as after traveling to Indonesia Australia and New Zealand cooks the vessel to the French everyone thought it was sunk by the British of course in order to state with certainty that it was his boat there need to be something like a note saying Cook was here finding the vessel was very lucky just think about it there are approximately one thousand three hundred seventy million cubic kilometers of water if we were to imagine the earth was smooth like a billiard ball there'd be enough water to turn the planet into one big ocean finding a small vessel using 200 year old documents is almost impossible impressive right but not as much as this next discovery by marine archaeologists which is almost seven thousand years old at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean they found the second Stonehenge just take a look this incredible discovery older than the Scottish doppelganger is located not far from Spain just under the nose of marine archaeologists but it wasn't them who found it it was a NASA satellite when the monument came out of the water after the coast had dried up in 2019 it can be assumed that it was much bigger as here two religious leaders were brought together for ceremonies and sacrifices were made some researchers believe it is a monument of the residents of Atlantis which is absolutely possible considering this unique find was able to hide for so many centuries sooner or later all the mysteries of human history will become known to humanity how about Discovery's 300,000 kilometers or almost 200,000 miles from Earth one of the latest inexplicable findings on the moon is an unknown shining mass similar to JAL what do you think it is it's unclear how it appeared in a place where there's no atmosphere or water the conditions are of constant bombardment of space rocks to study it scientists even had to overcome EPLAN shutdown of the lunar rover which found the gel this isn't just simple fantasy it's a real mystery for science so then what's the deal long ago as a result of a collision of Earth's satellite with an asteroid a crater was formed and a bit of glass at the bottom this is the shining mass it's not at all soft and solidified long ago on the surface of the Moon nowhere in the universe was the same found those space rocks constantly hit one another if you have your own guesses then write them below in the comments we're moving on now we asked all Steve Jobs fans to step away from the screen as archaeologists found a 4,000 year old ancient Egyptian iPhone take a look on just a picture according to witnesses the gadget works even using processes similar to modern Wi-Fi this thing was found by researchers during excavations hope Apple's not plagiarizing something from ancient times and so maybe an ancient router should we look for just in case how can this be Egyptians were so superior to other cultures that they were associated with alien races maybe this technology came to them from space who knows but after a carbon analysis the gadget was seized and made classified it's possible the lab was just mistaken the archaeologists were making a joke or that it was just an advertising move by Apple when you learn about such finds it seems like anything is possible but what if it were true and our knowledge of ancient peoples is just the tip of the iceberg this next discovery made all researchers fully reread all English novels about King Arthur as it seems he did in fact exist archaeologists discovered the ruins of a castle in England very reminiscent of the Camelot who could have thought that this fairy tale character with a magic sword in Iraq and his friend Merlin were not made up but legends are made up on their own know why have you made such assumptions first off the ruins of the fortifications were found near the village of Tintagel which was in the legend secondly it's suggested by the dating to be of the fifth or sixth centuries well and thirdly the ceramics samples and glass from the castle indicate the high status of the people who lived in it they drank Turkish wine and ate olives from Tunisia this helped researchers establish that the owner of the medieval property was none other than Arthur though there is no direct evidence to any you still think digging the ground is boring then prepare yourself we will show you the biggest discovery of 2018 Japanese archaeologists were working on excavations in the desert of Gobi and found the skeleton of one of the biggest dinosaurs known to man look at its length it's almost 17 meters 20 yards or 55 feet in comparison the average blue whale reaches 20 meters or 22 yards or 65 feet and weighs approximately 40 tons now imagine that its paws grew back teeth appeared and it gained the ability to survive on all continents this thing could easily run through several trucks and eat a Mini Cooper the most unusual thing is that this type of dinosaur is an herbivore they lived on earth 70 million years ago and exceeded the size of carnivorous tyrannosaurs by about five meters sixteen feet or five yards yeah the giant predators from Jurassic Park had nothing to do with reality the largest known full skeleton is only 12 meters almost 40 feet or 13 yards the record was beaten by a hole 5 metres 16 feet or 5 yards for science this is a historic event but how did they find it in these sands as goby is Asia's largest desert they literally followed the creatures trail during excavations they found the fossil footprint of a biped dinosaur who led them to this extraordinary discovery have you ever dreamed of finding ancient treasure in your backyard or unearthing a Tyrannosaurus rexes leg let us know in the
