9. Mysterious Stone Carvings
Last year, archaeologists working on the Orkney archipelago’s mainland, off the Scottish coast, discovered nine strange stone carvings estimated to be around 4,000 years old. The mysterious, 1.6-foot (0.5 meters) tall objects, which are thought to date back to about 2000 B.C., resemble humanoid figures. Carved from stone, they almost look like figures with large bodies, a neck and a small head.

8. Royal Armageddon Tomb
For nearly 5,000 years, the ancient city of Megiddo held an important place along international trade and military routes. Located in what is now northern Israel, it was the site of numerous extremely important historical battles that occurred between 3000 B.C. and 1918, earning the city the nickname of “Armageddon,” which is derived from “Har Megiddo,” or “Hill of Megiddo.”

7. 2200-Year-Old Mosaics
The city of Zeugma located in Gaziantep, Turkey was once one of the most important centers of the Eastern Roman Empire. Now it is an enormous treasure trove of archaeological discoveries with 2000-3000 houses.

6. The “Stone Age Ghost Clan”
The Denisovans, an extinct species or subspecies of early humans, were only discovered around a decade ago, based on a genetic analysis of bone fragments and teeth found in the Denisova Cave in Siberia. These prehistoric relatives of ours existed tens of thousands of years ago.

5. An Empire’s Collapse
In recent years, a Swiss-Russian team of archaeologists discovered a cemetery containing the remains of who they believe are victims of warfare that brought an ancient nomadic empire to an end. The team spent four years excavating a kurgan, or burial mound, at the site in Russia’s Tuva Republic in southern Siberia, and the findings are helping them better understand a little-known time period and people.

4. Who Were The Guanches?
Spain’s Canary Islands were once inhabited by a mysterious civilization of unknown origins called the Guanches, who arrived long before the first Spanish settlers set foot there during the 1470s. Archaeologists and others have long debated over where the Guanches came from, with some speculating that they descended from the Celts or Vikings and others suggesting that the civilization was somehow connected to the “lost city” of Atlantis.

3. Underground Chambers
In May of this year, archaeologists working in Israel announced the rather unexpected discovery of an ancient, subterranean complex of chambers carved into the bedrock of the Western Wall plaza. It’s located roughly 120 feet (36.6 meters) from the Temple Mount and Haram al-Sharif (The Noble Sanctuary), a site holy to both Jews and Muslims, according to Smithsonian Magazine.

2. Unidentified Royal Palace
A discovery hailed as one of the most important of its region also qualifies as one of the area’s most mysterious finds. When Iraq experienced a severe drought in mid-2019, the receding waters of the Mosul Dam reservoir alerted a German and Kurdish team of archaeologists to the presence of a 3,400-year-old palace.

1. Elixir Of Immortality
In early 2019, archaeologists discovered a strange yellow-ish liquid while examining a several-thousand-year-old ancient Chinese pot. The pot (and the contents in question), which dates back to the Western Han Dynasty, was discovered in China’s Henan Province in late 2018.
