10 Most Mysterious Recent Archaeological Discoveries

From California crop circles to an ancient city hiding under the ground, here are ten mysterious and highly unexpected discoveries!

Watch Our MOST Popular Videos:

10: Yoda in the Woods
Let's start the video with something absolutely shocking! A woman made an extremely unexpected discovery when she found a strange creature that looked a lot like Yoda from Star Wars skulking around her home.

9: Crop Circles in California
Do aliens create crop circles? Are they truly responsible for this strange phenomenon? I mean, what other than an alien ship could come down and craft a geometrically perfect shape in a field overnight?

8: Mada’in Salih
Mada’in Salih is one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site that according to UNESCO themselves is the first property ever to be inscribed in Saudi Arabia.

7: Pufferfish Builders
We already had one bogus crop circle on the list, but it's time to bring the subject back already. Only, these crop circles have been appearing in the water off the coast of Australia, not in fields. They also aren't crop circles at all, but strange ringed patterns in the sand that scientist have been confused over ever since the 1990s when they were first found off the coast of Japan.

6: Unexpected Alien Planet
There's nothing more mysterious or unexpected than finding a new planet. Two veteran NASA missions whose goal it is to find new planets have recently discovered a world the size of Neptune circling a young star not far from us.

5: The Mystery of Genghis Khan
One of the greatest archaeological mysteries of all time is the location of Genghis Khan’s burial place. it's believed that when the tomb is found, it will contain a ridiculous amount of treasure. And yet nobody has ever found it. According to legend, after the great king died, he was to be buried in secret.

4: The Amazon Sistine Chapel
Let's move on to something that has actually been discovered, not just a total mystery! Although, this newest discovery in Colombia is even more mysterious than the lost tomb of Genghis Khan.

3: New Sarcophagi
Everyone loves a good sarcophagus find. There's nothing better than when researchers dig up even more mummies and tombs. And while you expect this kind of thing to happen in Egypt, a brand-new collection of sarcophagi has been found in Turkey.

2: Ancient Cambodian City
Everyone knows about Angkor Wat. It's the most impressive temple complex in the world and the biggest tourist attraction in Cambodia. It was also once the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled Southeast Asia from the 9th century to the 15th century.

1: ORCs
ORCs are not what you think. It’s actually an acronym for “odd radio circles.” They were first detected by scientists in September of 2019. An ORC is a strange cloud of radio emission hanging in space like a ghostly smoke ring.

Talks about having it on video but doesn’t show the video...

[chill]

I tried looking up the yoda video... found nothing. So either that was bullshit ( most likely) or... actually it’s just bullshit.

“Let us know which of these discoveries is the most amazing” yet, you show zero video evidence of any of them, only stock videos and pictures 🙄

yeah right.. it's the grave of the actual, REAL Medussa! 🤣🤣
Great archaeology! Almost as good as a yoda video that doesn't exist!

[haveaniceday]

Very fascinating and fun! Thank you keep up the high quality content material entertainment! 🤠👍

I would be surprised if they rebuilt them out of Megabloks

[julieturcios]

So how much did the farmer get paid for them to destroy those crops, hmm 🤔

[ErraticPT]

So show video clips, what the damn point making a video about a video without showing the video??

[mniVerse]

I'm so surprised that this wasn't clickbait.

Complaint 1:
Things on this list that are not archeological...
10 - An unknown creature
09 - Crop Circles
07 - Pufferfish
06 - New Planet
01 - ORC (Odd Radio Circles)

Complaint 2:
All stock footage. Of course, it's fine to use stock footage but it seems to be all you use. If you claim there is video evidence of something, then you better use some of it, or at the very least some still frames from it. Also, try to use real footage of what you're talking about instead of stand-in generic B-roll. You're over-doing it with stock clips. Way over-doing it. Which brings me to my next complaint...

Complaint 3:
Obvious bought/premade shakey camera transition used over and over again. Thankfully you didn't use it on every single transition but it is overused. High-end premade transitions are nice but maybe not repeat the same one a dozen times per video, and if you do repeat it then don't make it seem like it's randomly thrown in. It stinks of lazy editing
(for anyone that is interested, you can buy that and many other transitions for DaVinci Resolve from Rvisual or Messiah)

"Do you even want to know what it was?" Damn right I do, so where is it? All I saw was a deer, something masquerading as the usual badly-filmed shot of an alien, a statue of Yoda, then a cat. Where's the shot she took? This is worse than click-bait, telling us about it but not showing it. THUMBS DOWN!!

Speaks too, too frickin fast! Please slow down a little... You're stressing me out.
