the top five unsolved archaeological mysteries ladies sin Shui in 1971 in China's southern Hunan Province researchers discovered a 21 hundred year old burial tomb inside the tomb they found the burial vault of lady sin Shui the wife of the ruler of the Han Imperial feast 'im of died when archaeologists opened the burial vault they found the body of ladies in shui immersed in some sort of mysterious white fluid when they cleared the fluid away from the corpse they were shocked to find that the 2,100 year old body of lady sin Shui still looked like the body of someone who had recently died her joints were limber and flexible her features were all intact down to her hair and eyelashes and there was even still red blood in her veins in fact the 2100 year old body was so well preserved the doctors were able to perform an autopsy on it removing the still preserved organs to determine that her cause of death had been a heart attack scientists were baffled as to how the 2,100 year old body could still be so well preserved and began to investigate the unusual white fluid that filled Lady cinge ways burial vault however the strange liquid could not be identified even more bizarre eyewitnesses said with the liquid turn brown upon being exposed to air many of the scientists who open the tomb reported experiencing a strange rash on their hands after coming in contact with the mysterious burial fluid of lady scenes way to this day the body of ladies in shui is the most well preserved ancient body ever discovered but just how the body was so well preserved remains a mystery the tomb of sunken skulls in 2009 in Mutola Sweden archeologists discovered a sealed stone structure in the bottom of what had once been a shallow lake when they cracked open the enclosure they found the eight thousand year old skulls of eleven people including men children however this vine became truly bizarre once scientists began to study the bones they were able to determine that the 11 people had been spiked through the head burned and then locked inside the sealed tomb for some reason one of the skulls even had parts of another skull placed inside it theories about the origins of the skulls range from strange ancient burial practices to warriors bringing spiked skulls back to the camp as war trophies however no one knows for sure the fate of the people found in the tomb of sunken skulls still remains a mystery Jamestown cannibals in 1607 Jamestown Virginia became the first permanent English settlement in America unfortunately the Jamestown settlers were not really prepared for the harsh new environment of the Americas many in the group were wealthy and not used to hard labor they knew little about how to hunt or even farm the new land the Jamestown settlers also abused and took advantage of the Native American tribes who tried to help them the Jamestown residents soon found themselves isolated and left with no steady supply of food this period of time became known as the starving time the starving time lasted from 1609 to 1610 and it is estimated that during this time nearly 80% of the Jamestown residents died of either disease or starvation has been reported in five different historical accounts that during the starving time of 1609 to 1610 the desperate Jamestown residents resorted to cannibalism to survive however no evidence of this gruesome story had ever been found that is until the discovery of some human remains at the Jamestown site in 2012 the body was that of a 14 year old girl whom the researchers called Jane Jane's body had been dumped in a trash deposit along with dogs cats horses rats and other animals that had probably been butchered for food by the desperate Jamestown resident Paul examining the body scientists found multiple chopping cut marks on the girl's skull that were made by one or more assailant after she died anthropologist Doug Owsley said about the injuries to Jane's body quote they were clearly interested in cheek meat muscles of the face tongue and brain there were also numerous cuts saw marks and gouges along her lower jaw made by the tip of a knife to get to the meat and to remove throat tissue and the tongue unquote out Lee said he thinks a meat cleaver was probably used to remove the tissue just how many of the dead bodies at Jamestown were actually cannibalized is unknown but researchers did not believe that Jane was an isolated incident the ashkelon infant grave 1988 in Ashkelon israel anthropologists from Harvard University made a gruesome discovery in the sewer under the site of an ancient Roman bathhouse they found the remains of over 100 dead babies even more disturbing it was determined that the 100 infant body showed no sign of sickness or disease in all likelihood the babies had been murdered they had been placed in the Roman sewer and left to die follow-up studies by forensic anthropologists found that the babies had died within their first week of life archaeologists have theorized that the Roman bathhouse may have been the site of an ancient brothel so the sewer beneath the bathhouse might have served as a grisly method of birth control for the prostitutes that worked there since abortions were too dangerous at the time researchers theorized that the prostitutes would carry their babies to term give birth and then place their babies in the sewer beneath the bathhouse to die however this is only a theory and little evidence has been found to show that the bath house was indeed a brothel the mystery of the ashkelon infant mass grave remains unsolved and ashkelon side has the grim distinction of being the largest mass baby grave ever discovered The Devil's Bible the codex gigas our Devil's Bible is a Latin Bible that is believed have been created in the early 12th century in Bohemia at a size of 36 inches tall 20 inches wide and 9 inches thick it is the largest surviving ancient European manuscript the 310 pages of the codex gigas are said to be made from the skins of over 160 donkeys and the book is so heavy that it requires two people to lift the codex gigas is often referred to as The Devil's Bible possibly because of the strange legend surrounding the book and the fact that for some unknown reason it features a striking full-page drawing up the devil on one of its pages a strange supernatural legend follows The Devil's Bible it is said that the book was written by a monk who had been sentenced to be walled in as punishment for breaking his monastic vows in an attempt to save his life the month vowed that if he was given just one night he would create a book so amazing that would glorify the monastery throughout the land after toiling over the book throughout the night the monk soon realized that he would never be able to finish the book by morning so he offered a prayer to Satan himself offering to give the devil his soul if the devil would finish the book for him before morning so the story goes that Satan finished the book and signed it with a self-portrait at least that's the legend but the true mystery of The Devil's Bible comes from the fact that no one knows exactly how it was created scientists theorized that the book took over 20 years to complete however handwriting analysis of the book has shown that the text was written by only one author the handwriting does not change at all throughout the book and shows none of the normal human handwriting signs of time like changing moods fatigue or aging this would seem impossible if the devil's Bible was written over 20 years after all it's normal for all human handwriting to change at least slightly over time how the devil's Bible was created remains a mystery to this day you
