To everyone who saw the Stonehenge news too: it was only the central altar stone that was discovered to be from Scotland, the standing stones are still from Wales

[automaticmattywhack]

Why do people say we would "struggle to do this today"? We can easily shape, move, and place sandstone today with pinpoint accuracy.

I haven't watched a watchmojo video in forever. They all of a sudden weren't popping up when i was on YouTube and i had completely forgot about them but Rebecca's voice is too powerful, she reached out from beyond the algorithm to bring me back

The Antikythera is an incredible feat of Greek engineering because of how it tracked the movements of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, and that makes me wonder how they even made and used it.

Someone took 3D VR photos of a festival of some sort at Stonehenge. I could make out the tinest details of the rocks including some sort of plant life that covers them. There was an erie fog one morning surrounding the structure.

I don't know how to explain it, but it's not like watching videos on YouTube. I'm also not saying it's the exact same feeling as being there. It's somewhere in between.

The Ancient Greek Analogue Computer is an Example of the Ingenious Engineering of the Greeks, no Wonder they Pioneered Modern Science and more Modern Concepts!.

It still Fascinates me to this very day!

Unfortunately it was revealed this morning that the stones for Stonehenge are actually Scottish and not Wales.

I am still waiting for the Voynich manuscript to deciphered and maybe its true meaning will never surface or it will be deciphered long when I will perish of this earth.

[newdonktimes]

According to a certain tv show it’s all caused by Aliens!!! I think I loose more brain cells watching ancient aliens

[tylergoodman]

Great list, Watchmojo. Keep up the good work. 🎉

[MLG]

Ramps?! 😂😂🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️
Where do you get your ‘facts’ from??

[BEdwardStover]

Most of these I read about 10 to 20 years ago, the newest is about 5 years old.

Most were NEVER mysteries.

So you ran out of topics and now overhype everything. I may soon unsubscribe and I expect a million others to do the same.

[dannlj]

Actually the stones from stone hedge are from Scotland not wales

[Fayanora]

How did #9 confuse anyone at all? The second I saw them come on screen I said, "Wells." And I was right! Archaeologists can be so stupid and up their own ass about stuff so often.

[olleselin]

Oh, have we finally solved all those mysteries about the Bermuda triangle?

[BonyFingers]

Stoned again...Cheers dears....And good years....💪😎👍..Americans please vote blue and save us all....

How can you use such crappy AI subtitles?? You should respect deaf people and make your own! I'm sure you get tons of money to pay 1 person to do this, not that hard to be inclusive!
