12 Most Amazing Artifacts Finds Scientists Still Can't Explain

Imagine trying to explain how your smartphone works to a caveman. It would be an impossible task. They'd need to understand the concept of a telephone before they could understand the concept of a mobile telephone, and then you'd have to get them to understand what the internet is. That exchange would sometimes be just as difficult the other way around, though. There are objects, artifacts, and even whole towns left behind by our ancient ancestors that we don't fully understand. You're about to see some of the best of them in this video!

Thanks for the real, human narrator. He does an excellent job, excellent! And so much better than the dead boring monotone of a computer.

The people of Puerto Rico were called the TAINO and they’re direct descendents of the Arawak people— mystery solved. It’s theorized they traveled up the coast for trade as it would be easily accomplished given they were spread all over the Caribbean.The carving you show in the first carving is (was) their Goddess Atabey.

Hello Inforado I have been watching your videos this past few months and I can honestly say I live the content!! Keep up the good work. I have a question? At 7:37 into your you have a scene of David Lawrence & Co. I believe is wat I can see and is has a picture of King Kamehameha would you know the background or source where I can get my hands in for some info?

The one artifact looks like a location. Numbers like longitude and latitude. Just because it's ancient doesn't mean they weren't advanced. More so then now.

The Taino indians from Puerto Rico were known to travel all the way to North Carolina on trading expeditions. The study of the Tainos is very active in Puerto Rico. Now is an active Taino village that can be visited and several publication.

Exact portrayal of people is still taboo in a lot of cultures today so why wouldn’t it be a taboo in ancient times. You have to go back to 14-1500s for life like paintings. The Greeks and Romans were less affected by such taboos

I don’t get this guy. He wonders how ancient carved pipes got form places like Michigan where the material was found to Ohio even though he’s saying that Hunter gatherers created them. Isn’t moving from place to place to follow animal migration for their food source exactly what hunter gatherers do?

I remember a show years ago where they discussed a smallish pyramid located in Australia. According to the show, it was the burial place of an Egyptian prince that had come to form a trading agreement

Most of us couldn't explain how a phone works to anybody lol

1:33 “may have been made by illiterate people”

Come on dude…. How many times have we underestimated our ancestors, just to end up looking silly.

4:28 I'm gonna tell you right now, that these were for getting high. You want a critter staring you in the face while you are smoking some dank bud. It enhances the trip.

Tjipeter blocks are made from Gutta percha and from an area with plantations. These are trade items lost to the sea. The boat it was on is now decomposed enough to let them out.

As you walk through the cow pasture, be careful not to step in the Maya Bullya.

None of us knows how our cell phones really work.

Has anybody ever pointed out that these 'undecipherable' stelae usually have the scattered look of a page where a child has been practicing their letters? I'm guessing you can't be a good stone-carver without practicing your stone carving. and that requires a 'scrap' stone, don't you think?

[aimeeprincessofpower]

Maybe the writing say like so and so was here 😂

The girl found in the river that a death mask was made, her name was meshell, or Michelle

13:07 "enensenfally"? I think he might mean something related to "Encephalopathy". That pronunciation was even more messed up than usual. And if so, the holes were meant for liquid (brain fluid) to come out, not go in.
