10. Parthian Tomb
In October 2020, officials announced the discovery of a 1,000-year-old tomb in Iran’s Kurdistan province. Inside the tomb was a human skeleton with a spearhead beneath its ribs. But perhaps the most unique thing about it is that it is inside a giant clay jar.
9. Ancient Counterfeit Currency
Around 1200 B.C., during a time period known as the “Late Bronze Age Collapse” and several years before coin currency was invented, silver hoards were infused with cheaper copper alloys and coated with an authentic looking layer of silver. In analyzing 35 silver hoards found throughout Israel, archaeologist Tzilla Eshel found that eight were debased in this manner.
8. A Constipated Demise
A new study details the painful demise of a mummified man who died sometime between 1,000 and 1,400 years ago after eating mostly grasshoppers for months. Found in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of Texas, the man had a condition called megacolon, when a person’s colon swells up to six times its normal size. He suffered from Chagas disease, which prevented him from properly digesting food and led to malnourishment.
7. Nazi ‘Enigma’ Machine
Divers removing fishing nets from the Baltic Sea in northeastern Germany’s Bay of Gelting for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) recently found a Nazi codemaking machine, called an Enigma machine! At first glance, the diver who discovered the device thought it was a typewriter, because that’s pretty much what it looks like. Soon enough, however, the team realized they had found something stranger.
6. Human Bone Weapons
What do you make weapons out of when you don’t have metal? Stone, and bone!! Mesolithic hunter-gatherers who once lived in Doggerland, carved weapons from human bone! Because, why not?? Doggerland is now underwater in the North Sea but it was once a land bridge between mainland Europe and the U.K.
5. Baby In A Jar
Archaeologists working in the ancient city of Jaffa in what is now Israel recently unearthed a jar containing the 3,800-year-old remains of a baby. Burials like these are not necessarily rare, and have occurred over numerous time periods dating as far back as the Bronze Age and as recent as less than 100 years ago, according to Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) archaeologist Yoav Arbel, who was part of the team that made the discovery. But experts have yet to figure out the reasoning behind these burials.
4. Paid To Go Away
After backing an unsuccessful candidate for emperor, residents of the Roman city Nicopolis ad Istrum on the losing side paid a hefty donation to the victor. This is according to a second-century Greek inscription on a limestone slab that archaeologists found while excavating the site in the early 20th century.
3. Gardening Treasure
While weeding their garden in Hampshire in southeastern England in late 2020, a family found a buried stash of 15th-century gold coins featuring English monarchs. Altogether, the hoard contained 63 GOLD coins and one silver coin, which were minted over a roughly century-long span. They depict several kings, including Edward IV and Henry VIII.
2. Germ-Covered Art
Leonardo da Vinci is known as one of the greatest artists of all time. A new study of seven of his iconic drawings revealed that each piece of artwork harbors a unique collection of microbes. In fact, after making their initial findings, researchers were able to identify specific paintings based on this information alone.
1. Ancient Egyptian Star Constellations
Experts in Germany and Egypt who recently restored a 2,000-year-old Egyptian temple, called the Temple of Esna, found mentionings of previously unknown constellations and revealed the vibrant colors that the ancient structure was originally painted in before being covered in dirt and soot.
