12 Most Mysterious Archaeological Finds Scientists Still Can't Explain

They say that ‘seeing is believing,’ and perhaps that’s true, but seeing definitely isn’t understanding. Just because we can see something doesn’t mean we truly know what we’re looking at. This is a common problem encountered by scientists and archaeologists when they find relics of our world’s distant past. They might know a little about who built it, or when it was built, but they don’t always understand the how or the why. All the discoveries in this video left the experts with more questions than answers!

I dislike the pictures out of films and any that don't have to do anything with the findings. I just want to look at the objects they found.

I believe our ancestors were a lot smarter than we give them credit for.

[sandyworkman]

I think these ancient civilizations had more technology than we give them credit for.

That alien skull is crazy. I wish it was easier to tell the size. It didn’t seem to have much in the pics for scale.

[paulmc]

might want to call it a toy wagon, instead of a toy car

As a danish person i never heard of the scull or the cult story on Zealand (where I’m born)

When narrator jumps from a dude in a sphere to a ancient aircraft or time machine, you know: there is nothing to look at in the video... or chanel.

It looks more like a Roman chariot than a toy car to me

The Peri Reece map also showed atleast the majority of Antarctica without ice

So when they said ''Wisdom is when you accept that you don't know anything'' tis is what they meant

[BeatsMe]

Beautifully done. Very professionally narrated. The interspersed footage indicates to me the technical blanks being explored?

[grndzro]

This is a really fascinating one. Awesome job :)

3:28 is a Sumerian Chariot....not a mystery

The star topic blew me away! Wow! Im going to do some research!

0:54 Pretty sure if they'd checked the gift shop they could have found a similar mug for a reasonable price.
2:38 Correct. There is no way in hell they could have been working off of an earlier map.
3:31 Little known fact: "chariot" and "car" are the exact same word and meaning in Chinese.
4:40 And why would a man paint a soup can and call it "art"?
4:54 Wait, wait, wait. You are telling me that you wouldn't be able to see something inside of something else? What gods must these travellers be, with their mysterious art and magics.
6:25 "The glass is perfectly smooth and rounded, despite the fact..." Said over video of a glass blower blowing a perfectly round and smooth ball of glass.
7:30 If they were so damn equal, how could the archeologists tell the difference?
7:30 "...that they lived harmoniously side by side..." Or, could have been captured slaves, or just corpses of their enemies. We just don't know enough!
8:07 <i>squints</i> I guess if you're high enough, everything looks like a shoeprint.
10:00 Or, there are only so many shapes you can use for all your cuniformin'. And I guess they checked the Sumerian's work as well, to see if it looked a little...Peruvian?
11:19 Sure, a wall. But what if you put a few more stones on top, and a couple of billboards...viola! Superhighway.
12:01 Nice cutaway to some Neolithic Swiss building the Pyramids.
13:12 "Theoretical geographer" Latin for "pulling a map out of my ass".
15:02 "...around 80 years from now." Lessee, carry the one, multiply by x....my god, it's 1932?

The map maker saw a copy of the Peri Reese map (Arabic)

[KombuchaBuzzed]

Looks like ancient roller skates to me.
