Показать описание
Check out these mysterious discoveries made by accident! This top 10 list of strange and unexplained mysteries has some amazing archaeological recent findings from ancient history!
9. Mary Ann Hall's Brothel
Weren’t expecting this to start off a historical discoveries list, were you? Well, to be fair, this brothel was found by accident and more importantly than that, it actually has an important historical significance.
So, how was it discovered? Well, in 1997, the Smithsonian decided to do a study on some land in Washington DC that was going to be used to build the National Museum of the American Indian.
8. Terracotta Army
In 1974, not long after the Chinese New Year, farmer Yang Zhifa, his 5 brothers and friend who all worked together decided to dig a well to water the crops of the cooperative farm. After a couple of days of digging, the seven farmers hit what they thought was an old kiln.
7. Herculaneum
Most everyone knows the story of Pompeii, where the volcano known as Mount Vesuvius erupted in such a violent way that it destroyed the entire city, creating both a legend and a horror story all at once. Yet, that volcano also killed another city, one that wasn't "rediscovered" for many centuries, Herculaneum.
6. The Venus de Milo
Speaking of buried objects, let’s head to the Greek Island of Melos, where a couple of men were digging for antiques on an ancient ruin on the island. One of them named Yorgos Kentrotas was looking for marble for building blocks. As he continued to dig though, he discovered a part of a statue that is now known as the Venus De Milo.
5. Edinburgh Vaults
In 1788, under the South Bridge in Edinburgh, Scotland, a series of "vaults" were made. The South Bridge was known for its businesses, and under the bridge were the workshops of those businesses. However, under that were living quarters, if you can even call them that. Basically, it was a Caste system under a bridge. The lower you were, the lower you were in society's eyes.
4. Derinkuyu Underground City
From underground tunnels to a literal underground city, Turkey is known for having many of these. This happens specifically in the Cappadocia region of the country, and these cities were hand carved from the volcanic ash that lies within. One of the biggest and most famous of them all though is the Derinkuyu Underground City.
3. Mastodon Skeleton
The beautiful thing about archaeological discoveries is that you never know where you might find one!! This mastodon skeleton was found in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where a group of construction workers came across this big guy.
2. Lascaux Caves
You never know what you might find in a cave, but when a group of teenagers were playing around in 1940, they accidentally came across one of the greatest historical discoveries in history! The cave paintings of Lascaux
1. The Sea Scrolls
As the story goes, in 1947 a Bedouin shepherd went into some caves to look for a stray sheep. SInce it was so dark he threw a rock inside and was surprised to hear the sound of clay shattering. He had found the jars containing the sea scrolls. They took the scrolls to an antiquities dealer and word started to spread that some ancient documents of importance had been found.
