5 Discoveries Scientists Just Can't Explain

hi guys it's hard for us to imagine how look to our planet thousands of years ago and who inhabited it nevertheless every year scientists find something new and interesting in their attempt to lift the veil of the secrets of the past and perhaps even understand the future a little better but it's not always an ideal process some objects simply bewilder archaeologists in today's video we're going to show you five discovery scientists weren't able to explain sit back and relax because we're gonna start right now [Music] golden spirals despite the fact that archaeologists find golden objects all the time these spirals also known as the golden enigma have puzzled scientists to this day the thing is that in Denmark a team of archaeologists discovered more than 2,000 mystical tight spirals made of gold which are at least from the Bronze Age the precious spiral looked like 0.1 millimeter thick plates made of pure gold and some of them reach a length of up to two inches and weigh about 200 grams however their true purpose is still a mystery and scientists just have different versions and assumptions the Sun was one of the sacred symbols of that era and gold had a special meaning in people's lives perhaps some high priests wore gold bracelets on his wrists and used these spirals to decorate his clothes and shone like the Sun itself while performing sacred rituals Alaska artifact of course finding gold is pretty nice but scientists are not treasure hunters so they are not interested in the value of the objects they find for example during an excavation in a 100 year old settlement of Eskimos in Alaska scientists of the University of Colorado came across a strange bronze object that was well very similar to a buckle belt to be honest we hardly can imagine the ancient population of the Eskimos putting on jeans and belts with fashionable buckles moreover this bizarre object was noticeably older than the house where it was found it is also remarkable that according to experts the object was cast in a special form and this is the only ancient artifact made of cast bronze found in Alaska with the help of a radiocarbon analysis scientists managed to establish that the leather covering the objects was made somewhere in 600 AD but the age of the buckle itself is still a mystery by the way bronze was never produced in Alaska and nobody knows where it came from we love spirits this mysterious landmark known as resume el hiri is located in a bear field in the middle of the Golan Heights the construction consists of a large number of basaltic blocks and includes four small circles in the very center there's a 16-foot high pyramid made from a block of stones the stone monument remained unnoticed for many centuries until Israeli archaeologists discovered it according to rough estimates the wheel of spirits was built around 3,000 BC this means that rouge 'm el hiri appeared roughly at the same time as the famous stonehenge in england today it's still a mystery who built this place and what for according to one of many theories the wheel of spirits was an ancient astronomical calendar but astronomers didn't confirm this idea since the position of the monument is not perfect this may indicate a lack of knowledge or lack of suitable tools other scientists claim that rujm el hiri was a tomb although there's no evidence of this in any case this is one of the most mysterious places on earth which we still have much to learn about mysterious City for over a hundred years since the discovery of these ancient ruins excavations have been carried out with only one purpose to find out what exactly destroyed the city and how its inhabitants disappeared mohenjo-daro was founded by one of the most ancient and most advanced civilizations of that time which managed to survive for about three millennia but why did this mysterious City disappear archeologists are trying to find at least something that could give an answer there are no traces of floods fires Wars or demolitions in mohenjo-daro nor was there an ancient weapon that could have destroyed the city there was absolutely nothing there except for one obvious fact the reason that mohenjo-daro was instantly emptied was a sudden and instantaneous catastrophe but which one it's still a mystery dear figures this carved work in the form of two swimming gear is one of the most beautiful and oldest exhibits of the Stone Age it was made from the tip of a mammoth tusk in a period characterized by extraordinary creativity the artist who created this figure were really like modern people and had the same mental abilities as we have today look the noses of the animals are raised upwards and the horns are thrown back obviously wild animals are represented as swimming the deer are perfect from all sides the front figure is a female whose fur is artificially drawn and looks so natural the male has a larger body but without strokes scientists couldn't find out what this sculpture meant however they assumed it served as an item for communication with the other world or a talisman for successful hunt before a long and cold winter that's all for today until next time

Those "golden spirals" are egg cases from gastropods in the ocean.
