Artifacts That PROVE Past Advanced Civilizations Existed

history is not as solid as we were led to believe everyday incredible new discoveries are found that threaten to turn our entire understanding of the past upside down the further back we look the more uncertain things become and the artifacts and places in this video will prove that we have a lot to learn about the world we live in from ancient computers to mind-bendingly old temples these discoveries will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about human history number 10 lost languages in 1908 while exploring the ruins of an ancient Minoan Palace named Phaistos on the south coast of Crete Italian archaeologist Luigi Fournier found a remarkable golden-hued disk remarkably intact considering it has since been dated almost 4000 years old the Weisse dos disk as it has been named features a language that has never been fully identified the discs and cyber Bowl text has led to theory suggesting that the disk is a remnant of a lost civilization with some pointing to the ancient Greek tales about the lost city of Atlantis as the answer the claim isn't as ridiculous as it may seem on the surface a wealth of similar clues can be found nearby such as the drowned Egyptian city of Heraklion which was discovered by a team of scuba divers in the early 2000s this once grand and lavish city whose recently discovered culture provided a cultural link between the ancient Egyptians and ancient Greek periods was overcome by the sea in the second century BCE number nine Baghdad battery we all take it for granted of the batteries a recent invention but maybe we shouldn't be so certain while working as the director of the Baghdad Museum in 1938 German archaeologist will hem Kaena ground a mysterious terracotta container with a rolled-up copper sheet and an iron rod inside upon analysis caning found evidence that the container dated between 250 and 650 seee had once held an acidic liquid meaning all the ingredients were in place for a functional electric battery something not thought to have been invented for another 1,000 years some theories assert that the battery was used for electroplating precious metals a modern process for coating objects in gold but no electroplated artifacts have been discovered other theories suggest that the small charge generated by the battery could have been used as part of a religious experience harnessing seemingly supernatural forces some theories reject the electrical ideas entirely suggesting that the battery was in fact a container for saved scrolls it's important to remember with discoveries such as these that it is possible for human beings to possess the tools and knowledge to create something like electricity without necessarily understanding the underlying principles the Chinese discovered gunpowder long before the principles of combustion were scientifically recorded you don't always have to know why something works just that it does number eight ancient computer when you consider that seventy percent of the earth is covered in water it's hardly surprising that the ocean's depths are a constant source of revelations about our past the Antikythera mechanism is just one of these incredible discoveries from the sea floor and was retrieved off the coast of Antikythera Greece in 1901 it had laid on the sea floor for thousands of years after a Roman ship capsized in the first century BCE the mechanism itself dates back up to 300 years before the crash making its purpose even more impressive this device a large assortment of gears kept inside a shoebox sized wooden container is believed to be the world's first computer now it may not have been able to run Skyrim on max settings but it was capable of some incredible feats by turning a lever the user could find out through mechanically operated symbols on the front panel exactly where the Sun and Moon would be in the sky on any given day dozens of years in advance the level of complexity demonstrated by this fascinating device throws our understanding of mathematical and mechanical capabilities of its constructors the ancient Greeks into the water this level of mechanical complexity would not be documented again for another fifteen hundred years which has led to some outlandish theories regarding its origins I'm talkin ancient aliens time travel mystical goat men and Nike trainers well maybe not that last one whichever theories subscribed to it's difficult not to be amazed at this mind-blowing feat of engineering which raises more questions than it answers number seven the rock wall of rock wall for years the inhabitants of Rockwall County Texas have been perplexed by walls not regular walls but ancient walls seemingly composed of bricks and mortar which have been found in various spots within an area of 20 square miles the strange thing is these walls were discovered underground as early as 1851 these settlers were long thought to be the first wall building Society to settle in the area as Native American presence in the area had been historically nomadic never permanently settling into the area so who built the walls and why have the locals observed what seemed to be archways steps and iron pins in them geologists have suggested that the wall like appearance is in fact an illusion caused by layers of sediment expanding and contracting over millions of years forming cracks to give the appearance of bricks the iron geologists suggest is naturally occurring or but this answer doesn't satisfy everyone geologist James Shelton even encourages inquisitive minds to reassess their understanding of the walls following documented discoveries of ancient scripts carving to the as well as the discovery of a round metal disc embedded in one of the walls stones number six kozo artifact in 1961 a group of friends were searching for geodes near Elantra California they gathered a substantial yield and returned home to explore their findings inside one of the rocks they observed a cylindrical structure with a metal ring on one end a flared metal cap on the other and what appeared to be a threaded screw passing through the top it was clearer than whatever they had found was man-made but the case became more curious when a geologists determined the rocks age to be around five hundred thousand years old more bizarre still the object inside the geode was officially identified as a spark plug from a 1920s era champion motor vehicle so were they dealing with a time traveller in a seriously outdated car unfortunately the geode has since been lost but various theories have tried to offer an explanation for this bizarre mystery some suggest that the object was a remnant of an ancient advanced civilization others have suggested that it was a communications device dropped from a departing ancient alien spaceship but the more mundane theory is that the spark plug dropped from a vehicle which could have been modified for mining in the area in the 1920s the spark plug may then have been surrounded in a layer of hard sediment in a rare but not impossible process over a few decades but what do you think number five ancient nuclear reactor in the West African region of Oklo Gabon lies one of the earth's most unbelievable wonders while mining for uranium in 1972 French physicist Francis Perrin discovered that the levels of radioactive element uranium-235 were much lower than anticipated after some investigation a parent was shocked to discover the presence of elements like cesium and plutonium in the mine elements only usually found in nuclear reactors and a byproduct of nuclear fission noting the composure of the mind including the presence of water Perrin concluded the impossible the mine was a 2 billion year old nuclear reactor scientific reports have since concluded this site to be the only known example of a naturally occurring nuclear reactor on earth but the statistical likelihood of these conditions being in place are too much for some to believe this to be an accident counter arguments suggest that the evidence points to the reactor being willfully constructed if this were the case then life would have been present on earth billions of years before our common understanding and outlandish claim perhaps but a fascinating thought experiment nonetheless number four the quipu of corral when we think of knowledge we picture words books pictures and numbers but discoveries made in the ancient long-abandoned city of corral forces to seriously question our options on how humans can retain information the Norte Chico people of coral existed 5000 years ago making them the oldest known civilization in the Americas instead of writing the Norte cheek you developed the khipu or talking nots information will be stored and communicated using not at alpaca hair and cotton with each variation in color not type and string length among many other factors determining the meaning of each khipu what's particularly baffling is the fact that even with all our modern-day brainpower were still struggling to decipher specific messages displayed by these knots we know they were used as recording devices and studies from reputable journals have deciphered specific non numerical signifiers from the knots but since most of them were burned by the Spanish there aren't enough for us to effectively analyze unfortunately coral was mysteriously abandoned rapidly only 500 years after it was built but while the Norte Chico people seemingly disappeared elements of their culture can still be found throughout South American native cultures today keep OU's remain a significant part of everyday life in the Peruvian village of to Pico gia and the Norte Chico staff God has been found in countless succeeding cultures from the Bolivian Tiahuanaco to the Peruvian Urubamba Valley the unusual methods of storing information the chorale pioneered and the three and a half thousand year gap between their use of the khipu and the next known usage forces us to question how they disappeared and could the same thing happen to us number three Neanderthal flute discovered in to be a babe archeological park near cirque no slovenia in 1995 the devii a babe flute is a rudimentary musical instrument carved from the femur of an adolescent cave bear the artifact sometimes referred to as a Neanderthal flute due to the presence of Neanderthals in the vicinity and period it was created is thought to be between forty three thousand and fifty eight thousand years old making it the oldest musical instrument ever discovered while some archeologists attribute the instrument to early modern humans theories that it is in the and earth all in origin are true it could over all our entire understanding of our ancestral second cousins while we accept Neanderthals were capable of basic wall carvings the addition of musical appreciation to the repertoire would overhaul our perceptions of their cognitive abilities whether a Neanderthal or early modern human and origin the flute pushes the earliest records of music back much further than we had previously recognized well assuming it wasn't just leftovers from applies to scene era dogs lunch number two puma punku-- puma punku-- located near Tiahuanaco in western Bolivia is conspiracy theorists dream supposedly constructed 5:36 ee the ancient sites walkways and temples are composed of a scattered mix of rocks such as red sandstone and immaculate andesite its construction is left researchers baffled as there is evidence of craftsmanship well beyond the expected capabilities of its occupants who had not yet developed a writing system nor tools thought to be necessary for this level of precision this has led to speculation that the structures were actually created by a much older culture with access to much more advanced technology part of a long-forgotten civilization whose existence were only just beginning to discover clues about that being said it's still almost incomprehensible how whomever was behind puma punku transported the huge andesite blocks I'm weighing as much as 131 tonnes from quarries 56 miles away added to the mystery are strange magnetic anomalies the structure seems to produce if you move a compass over specific blocks the needle moves around erratically which has yet to be explained this has led to popular theories that whoever built the structure was a technologically advanced machinery using civilization with an understanding of magnetism perhaps even greater than her own puma punku / noon survivors rapidly dispersed due to the drought around 1000 AD leaving many questions within the halls of their mystic temple and number one kabuki Tepe huge 10-ton pillars check intricate artistic carvings of animals birds and insects check mysterious lack of settlers check good lucky Tuffy has it all the deeply enigmatic site located in the southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey is widely understood to be up to 11,000 years old predating other megalithic sites like Stonehenge by a staggering six thousand years what makes good luck each episode fascinating is the fact that at this time humans were long assumed to be roaming the earth as hunter-gatherers living nomadic unsettled lifestyles and leaving the occasional cave painting here and there to the pillars found at the site from the quarries archaeologists estimate that up to 500 people were required as they weighed roughly 10 to 20 tons each so why and how was the structure of this magnitude constructed if there were only meant to be hunter-gatherers without some societal structure and cooperation definitive answers are yet to be confirmed but a few theories have arisen Klaus Schmidt the archaeologist responsible for much of the site's excavation from 1996 until his death in 2014 suggested that the site was a place of periodical congregation perhaps used for rituals and annual celebrations rather than a permanent settlement the skill in masonry and art on display at kabuki Tepe is led somethere to assert that it was built by the last survivors of a dying ancient civilization in an attempt to commemorate their culture following a cataclysmic events around the end of the last ice age whatever the purpose behind good lucky Tepe it raises huge fundamental questions about our understanding of human civilization and makes us wonder what will he discover next so can you offer any explanations for any of these artifacts do you go the ancient aliens route or are you more of a spark plug and a rock kind of a person tell me your thoughts and theories in the comment section down below and thanks for watching [Music]
