Missing Stonehenge Chunk Turns out that a missing chunk of stonehenge that was taken as a souvenir, has helped to solve a long-standing mystery of where the stones originally came from. A workman named Robert Phillips, was part of a team that helped to re-erect Stone-henge in the 1950’s. One of the standing stones was fractured, so they drilled through it in 3 places to strengthen it with metal rods. 8. Mysterious Inca Remains While constructing an irrigation tank in central Ecuador in 2019, workers came across some mysterious artifacts. The workers got quite the shock when they discovered ancient human remains, and paused the long-awaited project while a team of archaeologists explored the site. 7. Nebra Sky Disk One of the most mysterious and controversial artifacts of all time is the Nebra Sky Disk. It’s a beautiful ancient object made of bronze and copper, said to represent the cosmos. It is actually believed to be THE oldest-ever depiction of the night sky but now archaeologists are getting into a hot debate as to how old it actually is. It’s such an extraordinary piece that it might be too good to be true. 6. Sarcophagi of Carajía Situated into a cliffside high above a river gorge sit seven large statues overlooking northern Peru’s Utcubamba Valley. These statues are actually large 15th-century funeral tombs created by the Chachapoya civilization before they were conquered by the Inca. Known to the locals as the “ancient wise men”, the Sarcophagi of Carajía sit nearly 700 feet (213.4 meters) above the valley floor. 5. Betz Mystery Sphere In 1974, a family s house caught fire in Fort George Island, Florida. The story goes that in the ashes they found a strange metal sphere with an apparent mind of its own in their backyard. It’s rumored to be smaller but heavier than a bowling ball, measuring eight inches (20.3 cm) in diameter and weighing 22 pounds (10 kg). 4. Illegal Slave Ship Three years ago, archaeologists working near Sisal, Mexico discovered the ruins of a sunken ship called La Unión, which ultimately proved to be an illegal slave vessel. It caught fire and went down in 1861 while carrying Maya captives to Cuba, not long after doing so was outlawed. 3. A Questionable Burial Since the early 1900s, the remains of several Neanderthals have turned up at a cave shelter in southwestern France at an archaeological site called La Ferrassie. The most recent discovery is a child nicknamed La Ferrassie 8, who was found between 1970 and 1973. 2. Dropa Stones According to legend, an archaeologist named Dr. Chi Pu Tei discovered 716 extraterrestrial stone disks inside a funerary cave in 1938 while leading an expedition in China’s Bayan Har Mountains. 1. Bizarre Ball While walking his dog in Hammonasset State Park last year, Connecticut resident Bob Kyrcz found an egg-shaped Native American tool known as a pecked stone sphere. Mr. Kyrcz, a doctor by trade, and also an ancient artifact enthusiast, spotted the partially-buried object among shells and other rocks. #mysteriousdiscoveries #mysteriousartifacts #strangediscoveries #originsexplained
