The Guatemalan head was carved in 1936 by near Las Victorias. It was made as a giant grave marker by a man who lost his wife. There was/is a plaque with her name and the date it was made on the bottom. Dr Lara (who supposedly discovered it) knew this and even spoke to people who had seen it being carved. It has never been a mystery. The information about it's age and construction are easily found, so I have no idea why it keeps being trotted out as a "mystery."

Nobody would give that first woman a ride?

The First Lady sounded like Forrest Gump, walking all those miles and miles

Extra terrestrials is such a cop out excuse. People need to realize humans have been way more advanced for a long time than we give them credit for.

Arrested for vagrancy? I hope she wasn't sleeping in a public park or something else I'd view as petty.

The Ica Stones were proven to have been made by the farmer as something to sell to tourists. He went on to create similar stones in the presence of film crews to show his process. Selling real artifacts is very much against the law and not something a farmer would so publicly want to be involved in.

The stone head in Guatemala was carved from pumice by a farm admin in 1936 as an homage to his dead wife. Since it's carved from pumice, which erodes readily, there's no way it could be particularly old and also explains how it disappeared.

Man, I'm a Texan, born and raised and this was my first time EVER hearing about the big wall in my state. wow.

[danieldismukes]

so everything in this video is BS, the stones from the farmer were simply artwork and the farmer himself told them this' the giant head is a grave marker and has a plaque to show that, the Texas wall is a natural rock formation, and all the swords have been traced back to a sword making guild in Soligen Germany, I understand why people make these videos, it is to make money, however they do a great injustice by confusing people who will take this as fact

Anyone else think that maybe the Vikings just stole these swords during their conquests and that's why they stopped finding them after a certain time. Vikings may have never had the ability to forge crucible steel. Occam's razor

Love your channel, always some genuinely interesting history. And thank you so much for featuring a #1 that didn't end up in 'it might have been aliens!' :D

Apparently Hannah Barbarra was more historically correct than we give them credit 💳.😊

As for the Ulfbehrt swords, a typical smith in the 900s AD could easily achieve temperatures of 2900+ degrees Farenheit with a charcoal fire and bellows, and smelting the iron in a crucible was entirely feasible, with or without Persian influence.

Maybe the last man reputed to see her, killed her. He would be the prime suspect in today's world and not JUST the last person to have seen her.

Technically birds are dinosaurs though and are very much living alongside us

The Viking swords are called Wulfbert aka "Wolfbear".

[sirussid]

Sorry, we have heard of these mysteries countless times here on you-tube so I am flipping to next video.

[rusticrangebear]

imagine being so indoctrinated by what you were taught in kindergarten that you ignore evidence that contradicts it.

[YeahYeahOkOkWhatever]

No more blinking lights in the background please 😵‍💫

[BloodiestMargie]

the stones could be and not something paranormal or mysterious; ancient peoples did occasionally find dinosaur bones

30k fahrenheit is hotter than the surface layers of the sun...I dont think so!
