SKULL HELMETS While excavating some 2,100-year-old burial mounds at a site in Salango, Ecuador between 2014 and 2016, archaeologists unearthed the skeletons of two infants who were laid to rest wearing “helmets” made from the skulls of older children. 9. Tomb Full Of Soup Bowls In late 2017, news broke of the discovery of a 3,100-year-old tomb in Baoji City in China’s Shaanxi province. Called Tomb M4, inside were various bronze soup bowls and other food vessels covered in intricate designs, as well as an unidentified person’s badly decomposed remains. 8. BURNT CITY BURIALS Over the past 40 years or so, archaeologists have unearthed more than 1,200 burials at the ancient site of Shahr-i Sokhta, or the “Burnt City,” in Iran. A few specific burials dating back 2800 years ago stand out among the rest. One was a grave in the shape of a circle with the skeletal remains of an adult man, along with two dog skulls situated above his head and 12 human skulls on the other side of the grave. 7. FOSSILIZED BEASTS Between 11 and 12 million years ago, the Texas Coastal Plain was filled with huge, exotic animals unlike anything seen today in North America, including rhinos, antelopes with horns like a slingshot, and even camels. A genus of elephant-like beasts called gomphotheres, with tusks, trunks, and shovel-like jaws, also roamed the region. 6. UNUSUAL FIGURINE Archaeologists have found a one of a kind figurine wearing a feather headdress at a prehistoric burial site in Novosibirsk, Russia. Discovered among several other artifacts, the statue was made of an unidentified material. It appears to wear a feathered headpiece, which is not typical of artifacts found in Siberia, and researchers are kind of confused. 5. STONE SCULPTURE While plowing his field in 2019, a Newton Grove, North Carolina resident named Tom Giddens discovered a bizarre stone sculpture bearing a face that has experts stumped. 4. TATTOOED ICE MAIDEN Nicknamed the “Siberian Ice Maiden,” a 2,500-year-old mummy tells the story of a woman who died in her 20s during the fifth century B.C. She was discovered in 1993 on an icy plateau in eastern Russia’s Altai Mountains, where she had been laid to rest beneath another grave. 3. BIBLICAL ROCK ETCHINGS In a southwestern corner of Israel’s Negev Desert on Mount Karkom, near Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, is a barren plateau filled with petroglyphs and ancient stone tools. 2. Chiquihuite Cave Researchers seeking to learn what the ancient climate was like in the high desert mountains of north-central Mexico instead discovered what they believe is evidence of early human occupation, with the potential to drastically alter the historical narrative of the Americas. 1. MUSCULAR WOMAN Nearly 6,000 years ago, a mysterious woman lived and died in what is now Nicaragua. A team of archaeologists found her remains near the country’s Caribbean coastline just a few years ago. This was a rare surprise, as human remains typically do not remain intact in the tropical region. #archaeologicaldiscoveries #ancientartifacts #strangediscoveries #originsexplained
