The Calixtlahuaca Head Discovered by archaeologist José García Payón in 1933, the Calixtlahuaca head is a terracotta head featuring alleged Roman features that was found oddly out-of-place in Mexico’s Toluca Valley. 9. Prehistoric Storytelling The late 2019 discovery of a cave painting on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi is thought to be the oldest known example of one of the most important things that makes us human, a recorded story. 8. Ancient Expert Beekeepers We all know that bees are extremely important to our ecosystem and even survival, and so did ancient people. A 2017 study revealed the discovery of ancient honeycombs at the Forcello archaeological site in northern Italy, citing them as evidence of ancient beekeepers once inhabiting the region. 7. Chinese Artifact In North America An amateur artifact hunter was out strolling on the banks of a stream in Georgia in the United States when he supposedly found a partially exposed ancient Chinese sword. 6. New Extinct Hominid Species The history of humans and our closest genetic relatives is confusing at best, and researchers are a far cry from fully disentangling theory from fact. But as they continue to dig for new information, both literally and figuratively, experts are slowly chipping away at our mysterious shared past. 5. New Dead Sea Scroll Text Earlier this year, researchers realized that a series of Dead Sea Scroll manuscript fragments previously thought to be blank actually contain text. The discovery is remarkable, especially considering the amount of forgeries that have been identified over the years. 4. Who Built the Great Pyramids A cluster of 4,000-year-old burials near the Giza pyramids, outside modern-day Cairo, suggest that the iconic structures were not built by slaves, as popular legend holds, but instead by paid laborers. 3. Inca Child Sacrifice Researchers have long known that human sacrifice was a big part of the Inca culture, but their understanding of the methods involved is incomplete. The 1999 discovery of three remarkably preserved mummified children near the Andean summit of Volcán Llullaillaco (yu-yai-yaco) in modern-day Argentina helped to bring experts one step closer to understanding some of the circumstances under which the ancient civilization sacrificed people. 2. The Great Library Of Alexandria The burning of the Great Library at Alexandria in northern Egypt is one of history’s best-known travesties. Founded in 283 B.C., it was once the ancient world’s largest library, housing over 100 full-time scholars and containing texts by renowned thinkers and writers such as Homer, Plato, and Socrates. 1. Cat Domestication People seem to either love or hate cats, and their domestication is a little-understood phenomenon.
