pillars and six cells on each side with an incredible roof that's paneled to imitate a structural Hall complete with beams and smaller false rafters curious Stone ball with a circular indent has left the community of rudlin North Wales puzzled the stone was discovered in March 2023 in the garden of Chesney cottage which once formed part of the parliament Hall in rudlin beneath the town's 13th century Castle some believe it to be medieval artillery possibly a cannonball or a trebuchet missile however other suggestions range from Paleolithic netsinker to a boiling Stone used in ancient cookery or a guard Stone fixed to buildings to prevent damage by passing carts Allison Blacklidge who's renovating the property made the discovery while digging out a tree in the garden Allison is Keen to identify the stone because the cottage is important to the history of rudlin where her parents live for their entire lives rudlin is a side of exceptional archaeological importance with a Heritage dating back nine thousand years standing empty for thousands of those years before being resettled by the Romans and in the 11th century was the capital of Gwinnett for the Welsh King greffue Allen perhaps the king would have been able to identify the stone an enigmatic ancient structure has been uncovered during the laying of fiber optic cable in the northeastern Italian town of Toriano in March 2023 consisting of two long walls and a short back top by a roof the structure is made of heavy stone slabs forming a rectangle experts initially suspected it was a burial cyst but excavation revealed no human remains the structure contains only silty muddy soil consistent with waterways the prevailing hypothesis suggests it was a Causeway allowing carts to pass through an ancient water course that once flowed through here alternatively it may have functioned as a culvert or drain pipe though its rough hewn heavy stone slabs are not ideal for that purpose due to the structure's significant size and weight it was likely an infrastructure project that required significant investment so we're not talking about something that was knocked up quickly by a local farmer while it's impossible to date the heavy stone slabs without Associated artifacts or remains the find remains fascinating the structure has been reburied for its own protection while the fiber optic installation proceeds off the southern coast of Victoria Australia a hidden treasure of underwater wonders was discovered in 2016. the famous 12 Apostles Limestone Cliffs towering over 130 feet have long been an iconic natural spectacle in this part of the world however over time four of these Monumental columns have collapsed into the ocean leaving only eight of the original 12 Standing Tall against the tides yet a team of scientists recently Unearthed five new Limestone Apostles submerged beneath the ocean's surface dubbed the drowned Apostles these structures were discovered by Rihanna and bizzori a PhD student while analyzing sonar data of the Victoria coastline they're underwater locations explain why they had remained hidden until the year of the discovery compared to their exposed counterparts these new Apostles are stubby in height reaching only 20 to 30 feet erosion has also flattened their tops but it's estimated that they've been standing for over 60 000 years providing a home for coral and fish it's a testament to their resilience and durability defying the odds and standing strong against the unrelenting force of nature how many times have you spent an age looking for something only to find it's right under your nose and has been the whole time we know a few archaeologists in Iraqi Kurdistan who experienced that in July 2022 they've been Excavating a mountain Fortress at the site of rabbana mercury the existence of the Fortress has been known about for some time but this is the first formal archaeological survey to take place there after a few weeks of digging they now think that robana mercury might actually be the long-lost city of Netanya city was also known as netuni sarokota and until now the only evidence of its existence was the fact its name is printed on a small number of coins minted in the region 2100 years ago Neptune was probably named for it natunasar the founder of the adiabene royal Dynasty archaeologists have found a relief carved into a cliff face at the site which matches classic depictions of natunasaur in both Psy's appearance and dress that isn't conclusive proof that this is the city that he named but the presence of what appeared to be barracks and a religious complex dedicated to the zoroastrian goddess anahida strengthen the caves the apsara National Authority also known as the Ana made an astonishing Discovery at the bottom of a pond near Angkor Wat temple in 2020. a mysterious wooden building that's been submerged for almost a millennium according to M sakrithi Deputy directorate Ana's anchor International research and Documentation Center the discovery is unprecedented in Anchor watch long history Khmer and foreign archaeologists have been researching anchor areas for more than 150 years but we've never discovered anything like this he said the wooden structure was discovered serendipitously during the restoration of the Temple's Northern cave When Ana's conservation team decided to repair the pond which is often the subject of photographs taken by visiting tourists while Excavating the Pond's base they stumbled upon a buried wooden pole which turned out to be part of a building structure unfortunately only part of the building could be seen so further research is needed to uncover its full extent the Ana will continue to investigate the building's history including its age to gain a better understanding of this intriguing discovery all discoveries associated with Angkor Wat are precious as we know so little about it we have no idea whatsoever who built the Pyramid of CIA sulo in Mexico City Mexico there's some evidence that an enormous volcanic eruption destroyed the civilization that once existed here but aside from that they left very little behind for us to remember them by other than their pyramid by examining the land around the pyramid archaeologists have been able to conclude that it was farmed for a period that started around 3 200 years ago and ended during the first century when the zitley volcano erupted that was a tragic Twist of irony for the Mesoamerican population who were thought to have worshiped a god of fire while some historians believe that the entire population perished in that disaster there are some who believe that the survivors fled to other parts of Mexico and took elements of their culture with them eventually playing a role in the rise of Tia tehuiken while there are no humans living here anymore there's a thriving population of rattlesnakes and tarantulas making it a somewhat hazardous place to visit there's already so much we don't know about the ancient history of South America but we might have to throw a whole new undiscovered civilization into the mix when Mummy discoveries happen they usually happen in Egypt mummy discoveries in Peru are rarer but not unheard of mummy discoveries in Peru that come in bundles though are practically unheard of in May 2018 a research team in Lima Peru found a 1 000 year old mummy bundle in what was described as near perfect condition the discovery took place in the already well-established archaeological site of patch a comic it's a near miraculous find because Patrick comic was so extensively looted by Raiders during times of antiquity we don't even know the name of the culture that these mummies belong to all we can say for sure is that they came before the Inca they wrapped their dead up in bundles like this usually including not only the remains of the deceased but a collection of grave Goods contained within layers of elaborate wrapping it was initially hoped that the age gender health and perhaps even the cause of death of this individual would be possible to ascertain but that turned out to be too much to ask for it's well preserved but not immaculate you have to look very closely at the rocks in the town of sliven in Bulgaria to see the so-called Rock herd but they're definitely there they might have been heavily eroded by time in the elements but there are a whole series of carvings of the heads of many animals most of which would be considered livestock the petroglyphs have been carved into the side of a rock face and based on the differing designs they appear to be the work of more than one person it's likely that we'll never find out who those people were almost nothing is known about the site and due to the difficulties that come with dating Rock we can't even take an educated guess as to when they might have been created based on the extent of the weathering though it's easy to see that they're ancient the bulk of the carvings represent goats bulls and Rams but there are a few wild animals and aquatic creatures as well the presence of the other creatures makes some experts think that the carvings might be a reference to the zodiac but it's just as possible that it was an ancient team of farmers attempting to count up their flock Stonehenge is by far and away the most famous ancient location on Salisbury Plain in England but there's another ancient mystery a little over two miles north of Stonehenge in the shape of Robin Hood's ball despite being named after England's most legendary figure of folklore it has no connection to the tale of Robin Hood and we don't even know why it was given the name it just appears on a map in 1820 without any explanation this is a Neolithic Causeway enclosure a series of short ditches with causeways running from each ditch to the center of the monument during the Neolithic era anyone standing in the center of the enclosure would have been able to see for miles across the plain in every direction that view would in theory include Stonehenge but most evidence suggests that the enclosure was built before the stone circle experts believe it was created around 6 000 years ago and regularly used for one thousand years what those Neolithic people were using the site for though is unknown because we often underestimate the building capabilities of our ancestors it comes as a surprise to most people to find out that human beings have been building artificial islands all over the planet for centuries in Scotland those islands are called cranics and thanks to a fairly recent discovery we now know that these Scottish crannocks are even older than we thought they were it was once believed that the oldest Scottish Clinic came from the Iron Age somewhere around the 9th century in 2018 though radiocarbon dating was carried out on four of the krannigs in Scotland's outer Hebrides and those tests yielded an astonishing result the cranics aren't 1200 years old they're more like 5500 years old making a crannock isn't easy the process involves piling layer after layer of rock onto the seabed until the island sits above the waves and then coating the whole Construction in soil so you can grow grass and plants on it that building material would have to be shipped to the side of the krannig by boat in other words the people who lived in North Scotland 5500 years ago were Master engineers and boat builders history has underestimated them subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications and you'll be the first to know when a
