10: Noah’s Ark Found
Topping off today’s list of amazing archaeological discoveries is Noah's Ark. That's right, I'm talking about the infamous ark from the Bible. According to a recent article from The Sun, experts believe they have snapped underground images of what could be Noah's Ark in eastern Turkey.

9: The First Leper
Back in 2009, researchers discovered the very first case of leprosy. For those that don't know, leprosy is basically the zombie disease. We've pretty well eradicated it from the world, but for thousands of years it was a very terrible disease that caused horrible skin lesions all over the sufferer.

8: Desert Kites
Desert kites are not what they sound like. These are actually ancient stone structures from about 6000 years ago that were found in the Middle East. They were named desert kites because they kind of look like kites. But in fact, these weird stone formations were used to funnel migrating gazelles into traps where they would then be killed and ultimately butchered.

7: Headless Vikings
Vikings just aren't that scary without their heads. But a pile made of Viking heads would be terrifying! A recent archaeological discovery in Britain has unveiled a massive burial pit full of executed Vikings.

6: Sacsayhuaman
Sacsayhuaman Is one of the most mysterious archaeological sites in Peru. It's believed that Sacsayhuaman was constructed by the early, pre-industrial Incans. It's a complex with three-tiered walls and is considered one of the most complex marvels of engineering for its time.

5: Tomb of the Sunken Skulls
The Tomb of the Sunken Skulls is an absolute enigma. It all started a few years ago when archaeologists were excavating a prehistoric lakebed in Sweden. Of course, the lakebed was dry when they started excavating it.

4: The Origin of Apples
How would you like to know where apples come from? As you probably know, before globalization and trade, certain plants, fruits, vegetables, and flowers only grew in their own personal part of the globe.

3: Badger Digs Up Medieval Burial Ground
When it comes to archaeological discoveries, we usually have archaeologists to thank. But this next story is all thanks to badgers. A badger living in the countryside of Germany recently uncovered an incredible 12th-century burial ground all by itself.

2: Tomb of the Silver Dragons
The Tomb of the Silver Dragons was discovered in Mongolia. It's one of the most incredible archaeological discoveries ever found in the country. It was likely built for nobles of the Xiongnu Empire, which thrived at a time when nomadic people dominated the Eurasian steppes between the 3rd century BC and the 1st century AD.

1: Roman Baby Disposal
Baby disposal is not a pleasant topic. But it might have been quite a common thing back in the days of ancient Rome. An archaeologist named Ross Voss made a rather gruesome discovery while exploring the old seaport of Ashkelon, in modern Israel.

The story of Noahs ark is so ridiculous

[jrontog]

It would be better if you just show pictures/videos of the actual thing that you’re talking about. You’re not giving us the opportunity to absorb the information you’re by bombarding us with random images that is often not the thing you’re talking about.

In actuality, some scholars believe it was not an apple in the story of Adam and Eve but something like a pomegranate. In the oldest text it's called a forbidden fruit, that is not described. It was later changed to an apple because of their red appearance.

Note: I'm not an expert in this subject nor i claim truth of it. Unlike this video, go do some research for yourselves. All these topics are extremely fascinating.

The property that we bought was vacant for 3 years. Since moving in we have found a old dog run, a tricycle, bags of trash, and a huge pile of used kitty litter under the house. Fun times.

Its not Noah´s, but Gilgamesh´s ark ;D

Okay why do your videos get like no views

[claudiosaltara]

Noah’s ark has been found since the time of the Russian empire when an airplane flying in that region noticed an anomaly ( if you can call it that) in the terrain. Since that time everybody went there to investigate. There is a museum about it in the vicinity and tourist flock to se it. What is there more to talk about it that wasn’t already said?) it is like hearing the fairy tale of ‘snow white and the seven dwarfs ‘ forever and ever. Show me the inside of the structure if you are smart.

I had found a whole bunch of jar lids and a glass bottle for cottage cheese.

Spartans are the real life equivalent to saiyans

[sirensara]

No where in history is it written that Eve bit into an apple. It is described as a "fruit", but no specifics are given. The whole idea of a "tree of knowledge of good and evil" sounds more philosophical than anything else.

[niamh]

i buried a jar with rainbow dash in it

[mnhockeyfan]

Firearms invented in the 20th century? Uh....

[arpa]

This was in 2011 we moved into a house that a family lived in when we moved we were painting a wall that had wall paper on so when whe scraped it of we found the original wall had poo drawn all over the wall

[jaydee]

I wonder when someone will find the giant skull buried by it

[mikeschoolcraft]

There’s nothing that you can dispute with Noah’s Ark.

[metrotek]

We cant find ships from modern day, nor 500 years ago. But somehow somebody has located a vessel from 3000 years ago . . . mm'k

[zzzombie]

I found Noah's Hot Wheels car buried in my yard once 😏🤣

[skahwaya]

Meh, saying there's over 1 million things wrong with Noah's ark story is kinda stupid but it's your video..

[ericaronson]

Naoh did not exist therefore no ark because their was no great flood

[Canlocu]

When you say "He was well equipped" we talking physically blessed or armor and weapons?
