10 Amazing Underground Discoveries
Показать описание
A mysterious underground movie theater that disappeared as soon as it was found and a poor man who discovered ancient buried gold.
6 A very much living underground town
In Moscow, Russia, a police raid back in 2013 uncovered a whole underground settlement. It wasn’t any abandoned skeleton of an old civilization, either – it was bustling with residents and activity. The Cherkizovsky Market was operating in Moscow for a while, and it was famous as being very immigrant-friendly, but it was eventually closed down. Instead of leaving, though, its former patrons took to the underworld, carving room from the ground to house around two hundred residents. There was far more than two hundred homes there, though. They had also built a clothing factory with an impressive 122 sewing machines, plus a café in the comfy Turkish style...
5 A set of stolen church bells
An unnamed man from the Czech Republic was digging through his yard in 2003 and found something odd. He was going to lay some pipework, when he came across a piece of metal he didn’t set there. Turns out, it was two fairly large church bells, and they were dated to about 400 years old. A follow-up investigation revealed that the bells were stolen from a local church eleven years prior. Apparently, the thieves buried them in what later became a backyard, but for whatever reason didn’t come back to retrieve them.
4 A stashed Ferrari
In 1978, two kids from LA were bored, so they decided to go digging in their backyard. Soon enough, they came across something metal and huge, and with some help from locals, the police excavated a Dino 246 GTS Ferrari. An investigation followed, and it turned out that the Dino was stolen four years earlier from one Rosendo Cruz. What’s weird is that none of the residents at the time noticed anything unusual happening, and they all claimed to have no connection with the buried vehicle. The car was put up for private auction, and its buyer tried to pull a scam, but it eventually found the way back to its rightful current owner Brad Howard. He cleaned it off to its original shiny metallic green and proudly stamped its license plate with the text which reads “Dug up”.
3 A loaf of Ancient Roman bread still in one piece
Imagine leaving your bread to cool off and forgetting about it… for several centuries. The oldest preserved bread was baked in the first century AD, in the Roman city of Pompeii. Now, Pompeii and all its citizens were buried alive by the famous eruption of Mount Vesuvius, covered in volcanic ashes, which is actually pretty good at preserving remains. This bread loaf was left sitting in its oven until archaeologists dug it up. The mark still visible at the top was made by a Roman bread stamp. Bakeries at the time had to use them on all their goods, as a way of preventing fraud by marking the source of each individual loaf.
2 A mysterious dig in a family backyard
The Hiuser sisters from Kitchener, Canada, were digging around in their backyard looking for some worm to take on an upcoming fishing trip, when they stumbled upon a curious find. Something transparent, shiny, with traces of blue, was glistening at them from deep in the ground. The sisters initially thought it was a meteorite, but when they consulted a professor of earth sciences, he concluded it wasn’t. Then a gem expert was called in, analyzed the object, and proclaimed that it wasn’t a gemstone, or at least not any known kind of a gemstone. He also suggested that someone had deliberately buried it in the yard, because it definitely didn’t form from the minerals in the surrounding soil. It was finally identified as a type of glass used in garden ornaments.
1 The giant round rock in the backwoods
This kind of looks like some giants were playing dodgeball and accidentally threw their ball over into a backyard in the human world. It’s actually one of the strangest things to ever be dug up in any area: just a random rock sphere. Despite looking like a big chunk of old and dirty metal, it is actually stone, although researchers have confirmed that it has an extremely high level of iron content. It was found in Poduravlje, a small village in Bosnia, near the town of Zavidovichi, and the Bosnian archaeologist Semir Osmanagich says it might be the oldest stone shape made by human hands, dating back more than 1,500 years ago. There were actually many more of these stone spheres in the region well into the 20th century, he says, but many were destroyed because someone started a rumor that there’s gold hidden at their center. Maybe they read the news from Costa Rica? Sceptics argue that the sphere may not have been man-made at all, but formed by a process called concretion, when minerals come together in the spaces between sediment grains and form a sort of natural cement.
