15 UNSETTLING Discoveries That Might Change History!

when that Apple hit Isaac Newton's head the entire history of the universe was changed in an instant his discovery of gravity rewrote everything we thought we knew there have been many discoveries like this some of them incredible and others disturbing that have shaken up our understanding of our planet our cosmos and ourselves brace yourself these are unsettling discoveries that might change history number 15 artifacts in South America's largest lake on the border of Peru and Bolivia sits Lake Titicaca this Lake has been the site of some fairly bizarre discoveries over the years with several marine archeologists attempting to traverse its rather ominous and daunting dark depths within the lake they uncovered a ceremonial site that was astonishingly well preserved after turning their attention to the KOA reef divers found certain ritualistic items submerged approximately 16 feet underwater among the items were the carcasses of slaughtered animals including llamas and gold ornaments thought to date back to between the 8th and 10th century this was a time when the pre inca to Anakapalli lakes Bazin several centuries prior to the eventual Spanish conquest the region had a population of almost 1 million people many have been led to believe that the reason the tihuanaco people left such valuable items was due to a possible religious sacrifice or other such traditions to them it may have provided a method to figuratively and literally help their civilization develop and flourish as for this artifact found in this same lake in South America it's actually one of the most interesting finds the divers made as the material from the object in question seems to have been made with high technology in which it wasn't available back in the day which kind of makes these discoveries more interesting than it already is before we go on cool challenge for y'all it'll take about five seconds to complete let's make a deal just leave a like on this video smash that subscribe button and hit the notification bell and you will get 10 years of amazing luck and fortune try it it actually works now it's time for the odd topic we thought we knew how the evolution of man unfolded but we might be wrong according to what we've been told by an anonymous source this peculiar skeleton was found during a recent archeological dig and nobody can agree on what it is no more obvious explanation is that it's some kind of previously unknown and hopefully now extinct wolf that adds up that new ancient species are found all the time while it looks a little too big to be a wolf it is worth noting that lots of the ancient animals that predate humankind work colossal in scale but one of the more out there theories is suggesting this creature isn't a creature at all but is a missing link in the chain of human evolution we're not so sure about that ourselves if true though our entire understanding of human history could change what do you think remember to come and down below with the hashtag odd topic and let us know your opinion in relation to what we just showed on screen and now to the next topic number fourteen who rediscovered America first part one Africans by now we're all familiar with the voyage of Christopher Columbus and his discovery of the new world aka the United States however we've now come to discover there are several possible inaccuracies surrounding these historical events that may well disprove what was considered an integral part of American history Africa is the first of three possibilities there are several things that point towards the African people beating Columbus to the punch the first of these is drawn from the actual proximity between Africa and South America Columbus initially departed from the Spanish port of pale headed to the Bahamas upon further inspection of the world map it can clearly be identified that the distance covered by Columbus in comparison to the distance between Sierra Leone and the Brazilian city natal is a far lengthier journey the African route is nearly three times shorter than what Columbus allegedly achieved another often revisited clue comes from the piri reis map according to history Columbus had no idea that he was heading into a new continent but the piri Reis which was put together in 1513 15 years after Columbus's voyage depicts a reasonably accurate state of north africa and the coast of Brazil the third clue focuses on Mexico's Olmec colossal heads stone sculptures of human heads created from large basalt boulders these heads are said to depict the Olmecs or the first inhabitants of the Americas however they have a stronger resemblance to Africans finally a teenage girl whose remains were found in an underwater cave on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula may hold the key to the age-old mystery of who discovered America nicknamed Naya after the Greek term for water nymph it's believed the girl lived 12,000 years ago in Mexico considered one of the earliest known residents of the Americas her skull bears a striking resemblance to the African or South Pacific population although not definitive proof that Africans rediscovered America before the Europeans did it certainly makes you wonder number thirteen who rediscovered America part to the Romans what about the Romans did they discover America before Columbus maybe historians have been very vocal over the slight possibility that ancient mariners stepped a foot on American soil well over 1,000 years before Columbus is historic discovery in 1492 to further add to this theory scientists from the aaps an ancient artifact Preservation Society discovered what is believed to be a Roman sword with in a shipwreck close to the Oak Island in Canada carvings of soldiers ancient coins and native plants were also amongst the items discovered if this discovery was made and the sword to be a genuine Roman artifact that American history could be altered forever it may prove that the Romans traversed the land an entire millennium before Columbus set foot on American soil number 12 who rediscovered America part three the Chinese if you didn't believe that it could be the Africans or the Romans then perhaps it was the Chinese that discovered the historic nation of the red white and blue author and researcher John Ross camp believed he had a case to back this theory up he claimed that an ancient Chinese script that had been carved into rocks could potentially prove a discovery of America by the Chinese dating back over 3,000 years Russ camp linked his theory to the discovery of pictograms from the ancient Chinese Shang Dynasty which were supposedly etched into rocks on American soil these carvings are located in several areas including New Mexico Arizona and California Russ camp is confident that the Chinese explored North American land years before any Europeans traversed it he believed the images carved into the rock were symbolic of the journeys and a gesture of Honor towards the Shang King the discovery of America has always been known as the work of great Italian Explorer and colonizer Christopher Columbus however these three theories do leave us with more questions than answers number 11 puma punku considered a significant piece of ancient history puma punku sits within a large temple of sorts near Tiahuanaco in Bolivia a site that dates back as far as 536 ad Tiahuanaco forms a large part of inca traditions and is believed to be the site of the beginning where the world was born puma punku is very relevant in terms of mysterious ancient sites with frequent visits from historians who are out to try and unravel the hypothesis of advanced prehistoric civilizations or even extraterrestrial involvement the area covers a reasonably large portion of the ancient city of Tiahuanaco the structure is very precise with doorways very finely cut and it's stone blocks bearing very few chisel marks all interlock [ __ ] effectively to this day archaeologists don't have any drawn conclusions in terms of how these blocks of stone were transported however a common belief is that the task was accomplished by the unity of the ancient Tiahuanaco labor force theories point to the labor force transporting the stones from quarries and Pumapunku budsies are still merely speculative another theory is that the builders of puma punku used llama skin ropes and ramps to propel the blocks to site however it's easy to see why this theory isn't widely accepted when you take into account that they weighed close to 131 metric tons it seems more than a little far-fetched that they could manage this feat with the resources they had at the time number 10 homo sapien fossils may rewrite history a strange yet fascinating discovery suggests our species came into existence in multiple locations and more than 100 thousand years earlier than initially thought Jebel Haroun is a site near Marrakesh that has been thoroughly researched over a period of ten years to prove the theory fossils were discovered at the site by researchers and they are now believed to be the earliest remains of the Homo sapiens following this discovery paleoanthropologist jean-jacques hublin undertook further study with his findings suggesting a much earlier emergence of the human species than what was first thought he also believed that this was a far more widespread process until now it was deemed that the oldest known Homo Sapien remains were located in Ethiopia this was in the 1960s where Richard Leakey and his team uncovered a couple of partial skulls thought to be around 195 thousand years old however hublin and his team have determined that these fossils from the Jebel Haroun are close to 300,000 years old and are connected to five different former individuals scientists Chris stringer and Julia Galway withum have since compared the fossils from Jebel Haroun to the Neanderthal Homo erectus and other fossil types including the modern Homo Sapien they saw that the Jebel Haroun fossils facially resembled humans far more than any of the others available to them our ancestry date back further than once thought stay tuned number nine ingots from the legendary Atlantis Atlantis is such a heavily debated topic and has been for so many years does it really exist it's a difficult subject as scientists and archaeologists have been at the forefront for decades attempting to either prove or disprove the theory an intriguing find by diver Frank oak a Sereno is certain to strike up further debate among those in his field whilst diving near the coast of gala in Sicily he found what was believed to be a 2000 year old shipwreck lying underneath the wreck on the sea floor worth thirty-nine ingots experts have since proven that the ingots were made up of orichalcum which is a rarity caused from the fusion of molten rocks there have been claims by archaeologists that this discovery proves the existence of the hidden underwater nation according to the Greek philosopher Plato this or a calcium was incredibly valuable and may have been found in pieces of the still rather absent and mysterious Atlantis number a oldest tools outside Africa almost a hundred stone tools that were found at the shag chen's site located in central China could be enough to push back the spread of our ancient hominins from africa by more than two hundred thousand years the makers of said tools were living in Schenck chen for certain periods during an eight hundred thousand year span they are said to have left behind many tools that were unprecedented outside of africa the oldest of the tools on site were close to 300 thousand years older than dimana see this was another site that was around 1.8 million years old based in the Republic of Georgia a site well known for containing some of the oldest Homo erectus fossils finding artifacts that you knew were around 2 million years old and therefore the oldest outside Africa was for me as a paleoanthropologist really exciting were the words from study co-author Robin Danelle a professor at the University of Exeter upon finding them more people have climbed Everest then found stone tools that old the discovery suggests ancient humans traversed incredibly large distances earlier than previously thought possibly as far as 14,000 kilometers on occasion what remains a mystery however is the identity of those behind the tools creation all those years ago number seven women Viking warriors within the Viking societies women gained a great deal of respect and independence scandinavian lore is rich with legends of female warriors and poetry from the Middle Ages stories like this have also been present in the modern era as well although it's often challenged in official history women were often relegated back to a non-combat role with men assuming the role of the Viking warrior treasure troves of weapons and paraphernalia located within their skeletons left very little in terms of questioning the gender of these supposed fighters the burka warrior grave located in Sweden holds the remains of a female warrior from the 10th century this grave provided the first archaeological evidence that women were of high status within Viking culture individuals at the stockholm enough Solow universities finalized this through some remarkable research a DNA analysis was carried out on the skeleton which confirmed that it was indeed a woman over the age of 30 and stood around 5 feet 6 inches according to Professor Mattias Jacobsen this was indeed the first formal and genetic confirmation of a female Viking warrior the skeletal remains of the solar warrior another female fighter was located in a graveyard in Seoul or Norway her remains are now preserved in Oslo's Museum of cultural history with a range of deadly weapons that were found alongside her body number 6 new human discovered a human species that stood at around 4 foot was discovered in a Philippines cave in 2019 further inspection of the homo Luzon and sis's fossils determined that it had lived about 50,000 years ago and now begs the question as to whether our process of evolution might not be all that set in stone professor Rainer Grune director of Griffiths Australian Research Centre for human evolution experimented with uranium to date the teeth and bones from three small hominid individuals found in Kaleo cave in the northern Philippines the fossils appear to be the earliest known human remains in the Philippines preceding the first Homo sapiens who are believed to have existed 30,000 to 40,000 years ago this discovery really flips the script on human evolution as it challenges the old adage that the humans line progressed from less advanced to the far more advanced humans we are today number five a two hundred ten thousand year old skull discovered in money a skull found in money Greece is believed to be the oldest example of a modern man in Eurasia the two hundred ten thousand year old skull is an important find as it may reshape the story of how human species spread to Europe and may also reshape theories of the human story as a whole the fossil originated from the site of epidemis southern greece and was found together with another human fossil app oedema - during research by the Museum of Anthropology of the University of Athens in the late 1970s the research team applied a novel cutting-edge approach including virtual reconstruction of the damaged parts of the skulls it conducted numerous comparisons with different human fossils and used a highly accurate radiometric dating method to determine their age the results of the experiments suggest that there were two separate groups of people that lived in Middle Pleistocene or what is now known as southern Greece these groups were the early population of Homo sapiens with a group of Neanderthals later emerging this supports the hypothesis that early modern humans spread out of Africa where they evolved multiple times number-four Denisovan and Neanderthal hybrid according to genome analysis of a bone discovered in a Siberian cave a female that was half neanderthal and half Denisovan lived on the earth approximately 90,000 years ago scientists were able to identify that the individual belonged to the distinct human group by using this type of analysis a truly remarkable feat and the first of its kind further research was conducted and showed that the Denisovans were a sister group of the Neanderthals splitting off from a common ancestor some 390 thousand years ago they're said to have lived around 40,000 years ago about the same time the and ur tall's were beginning to die out the study suggested that interbreeding may have been responsible and much more common than initially thought within the ancient world number 3 city of the monkey god yet another mysterious lost city has been discovered following an expedition to the on Duras the team of archaeologists carried out the expedition in the hopes of finding the white city or the city of the monkey god they surveyed the area extensively looking for anything that might belong to a once thriving culture that vanished a thousand years ago whilst there the archaeologists discovered an extraordinary assembly of plazas earthworks mounds and stone sculptures that had lead untouched since the city was abandoned in comparison to the nearby Maya the lost city has barely been studied remaining a virtual unknown with archaeologists not even having a name for it abandoned many years ago the site has been left in pristine condition undisturbed and quite unique number two lost civilization in India archaeologists have been left excited following the discovery of ancient rock carvings in the western state of math rostra India believed to be tens of thousands of years old the carvings might hold some explanation of what could be a never before discovered and unknown civilization the rocks mainly depict images and symbols in relation to various animals birds humans and other possible geometrical designs the petroglyphs that have been drawn holds some similarities to those found in other areas around the globe this has led to experts considering the possibility that these were brought about during the prehistoric times and quite possibly among some of the oldest ever discovered dr. Shrikant Pradhan a researcher and art historian at pions diccon college who has studied the petroglyphs closely said that the art was like that found in other parts of the world and clearly inspired by things observed by people at the time with the types of animals depicted within the petroglyphs including hippos and rhinos not considered natives of this part of India did the people who created them migrated from there or did historians get it wrong and these animals did once live in such terrain number one the first true Americans for decades scientists have generally accepted the date of the arrival of humans in the Americas around 25,000 years ago this timeline has now been disputed as incorrect following the finding of somewhat controversial evidence by researchers at an archaeological dig the site runs along the 54 freeway in San Diego California and researchers believe they found evidence of a human presence that predates various estimates of inhabitants in North America by 100,000 years if this were to be true it would shake things up a bit for archaeologists around the globe the proposed timeline revision is based on a set of 130 thousand year old Mastodon bones and teeth first unearthed in the 1990s the remains of the enormous extinct creature with similar features to today's elephant showed signs of being processed by humans bone fragments are said to have shown typical patterns of decay in keeping with their age and fractures that appear to have occurred shortly after the animal died this signals that something other the natural processes of decay were at work furthermore the mastodon remains don't appear to have been buried alone with researchers finding bones that have been fashioned into hammer stones and anvils these tools are linked to early African humans who inhabited the earth as far back as 1.7 million years ago Richard fuller ger an Australian archeologist said the site has provided remarkable evidence allowing researchers to identify the exact hammer that was hit on a particular anvil all the data gathered points to indisputable evidence that humans were roaming the earth at the same time as this Mastodon died there are so many interesting historical facts that have followed us throughout our lives like the simple fact of how humans first emerged how would you feel if this fact was called into question that our ancestors exist more than 100 thousand years earlier than previously thought and if so what difference does it make also check out our other cool stuff showing up on screen right now see you next time
