12 Most Mysterious Archaeological Artifacts Finds Scientists Still Can't Explain

Experts can’t explain every archaeological artefact that they come across, and we shouldn’t want them to. If they could, we wouldn’t have any ancient mysteries left to solve - and that would be a very boring world to live in! We love a good ancient mystery, and we’ve got plenty of them for you to consider in this video. Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Gunstock war club came from the phillipean natives

9:02 Yes, it _must_ be a Phrygian cap because _absolutely no one else COULD have possibly ever made one in of history_, right?

[joedouche]

Sometimes there is no explanation, sometimes y'all just found a figurine for decoration, or toys. A lot of guessing, could have, might have, probably, most likely.

[feldgeist]

watergeuzen dude appears to not wear a phrygian cap but rather one of those stocking caps which were commonly worn by sailors during that time
did real ancient Phrygians have a proper excuse for wearing their caps before enslaving and head-shaving Rome was even a thing or did they wear them for reasons Scientists still can't explain ?

Paleolithic Man's Best Friend: "Whatcha carving there?" Paleolithic carver: "Beats me. I'm just bored." Archeologist in 21st century: "We believe it's an ancient fertility figure of a God that had the head of a lion representing strength, cunnning and fearlessness."

[latetotheparty]

I don’t think the female figures are for fertility. Wouldn’t sculptures of babies better represent fertility? How about these female figurines have something to do with female mortality during childbearing years? Pregnancy and birthing were so risky, and still are.

I really wish you would put the name of the locations on screen but apart from that, great work and many thanks for the intrigue of it all.

So there were lions in Germany 45, 000 years ago? Crazy

1:08 more like a roasted chicken than human figure, hahaha

[vincentrandles]

That's no arrow, it's an atal-atal spear! Purposely made for throwing from (usually) piece of bone that is held in the hand, giving extra impetus imparted to the spear.

[anonygrazer]

1:19 "Some, including the Nicholas Conard, the anthropologist who discovered it, believes the figure is purely representative of the sexual act and is almost pronographic".
What an _EGO_ that guy must have to allow himself to extrapolate that it is "purely representative of the sexual act". And just HTH does he come up with that stupid belief, when there is no "guy" doll or no "dil" doe and her arms are across her rib cage??? These _overly_ educated people come with _overly_ excessive opinions of themselves and excessive admiration of their _own_ opinions too.

I wonder how much the health insurance charged her for the prostatic eye..?

[vincecallagher]

What, red is very desirable. It’s basic, not mysterious

[pedroazevedo]

That is not an weapon: it is a small tool to mix earth... For planting? To push the stone blade against earth with the help of one leg and one hand?
