A remarkable belt buckle that dates back 2,137 years was discovered in the grave of a young woman who died before the advent of Christ. The researchers dubbed the ancient fashionista Natasha. She was discovered wearing a black rectangular belt buckle. Her burial was uncovered as a 240 square mile man-made reservoir was being drained in the mountainous Republic of Tuva, Siberia. The ancient necropolis is known as “The Russian Atlantis” because it is annually emptied for a few weeks after being submerged beneath 56 feet of water for the majority of the year. The giant reservoir known as the…

Known as Egypt’s “golden boy,” the mummified remains of a teenager buried 2,300 years ago have long remained shrouded in mystery. Now they have been “digitally unwrapped” by scientists, revealing intimate details that went undiscovered for over a century. Radiologists at Cairo University in Egypt used CT scans to non-invasively unwrap the remains, uncovering signs of wealth as well as efforts to ensure his safe pᴀssage to the afterlife. According to the authors of a study published Tuesday about the discoveries, 49 precious amulets adorned the remains, including a golden heart scarab that was used to replace the boy’s heart. Egyptian embalmers placed amulets to protect and provide…

The story starts in September 1991, when a German couple discovered the body of a man protruding from the ice in the Ötztal Alps, on the border between Austria and Italy. The man turned out to be 5300 years old. His body was exceptionally well preserved. Blood on his shoulder An arrow and traces of blood were found on the man’s left shoulder, as well as a deep cut in his hand. The man, who eventually was known by the name of Ötzi, or the iceman, was thus probably murdered. His equipment was also damaged, most likely in battle, according…

Archaeologists from Mexico City recently unearthed one of the eeriest remains of the Aztec civilization. The team found a tower of skulls made of 199 human remains under the 15th-century building known as the Huey Tzompantli. Along with these skulls, archaeologists previously found another 400 in the area. A team of archaeologists from the National Insтιтute of Anthropology and History in Mexico discovered this tower five years ago. This tower is considered one of seven that supposedly stood in the Aztec capital of Tenochтιтlan. Archaeologists undoubtedly made a shocking discovery when they found the Aztec Tower, which was made of…

Αrcheologists have discovered the 1,600-year-old skeleton of an upper-class woman whose skull was intentionally deformed and teeth were encrusted with mineral stones near Mexico’s ancient ruins of Teotihuacan.

The coelacanth – a wondrous fish that was thought to have gone extinct along with the dinosaurs 66 million years ago before unexpectedly being found alive and well in 1938 off South Africa’s east coast – is offering up even more surprises. Scientists said a new study of these large and nocturnal deep-sea denizens shows that they boast a lifespan about five times longer than previously believed – roughly a century – and that females carry their young for five years, the longest-known gestation period of any animal. Focusing on one of the two living species of coelacanth (pronounced SEE-lah-canth),…

Archaeologists from the University of Exeter and the Ethiopian Authority for Research and Conservation of the Cultural Heritage have uncovered a long-forgotten metropolis in the Harlaa area of eastern Ethiopia, known as the ancient ‘City of Giants’ established in the 10th century BC.

A large number of megalithic constructions from various periods of history, as well as the traditions of many communities separated by seas, strongly support their presence.

Italy is famous for many things, but did you know it’s also famous for mummies? The Venzone mummies are a collection of over forty mummies found in Venzone, Italy in the 17th century. Although these naturally-preserved mummies are similar to others found throughout the world, archaeologists were baffled at the discovery of so many in one place. How were so many of these bodies naturally preserved, and why did the number of preserved mummies dwindle over time? Experts studying this discovery have some fascinating insights.

In the 1970s, archaeologists in Bulgaria stumbled upon a vast Copper Age necropolis from the 5th millennium BC containing the oldest golden artifacts ever discovered near the modern-day city of Varna. But it was not until they reached grave 43 that they realized the real significance of the finding. Inside burial 43 they unearthed the remains of a high status male buried with unfathomable riches – more gold was found within this burial than in the entire rest of the world in that period. Most people have heard of the great civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus Valley , which are all noted for…

Archaeologists excavating in Egypt are used to finding ancient mummies, but this discovery is different. An odd, half-mummy unearthed in the necropolis in the Al-Asasif area in Luxor has confused scientists. The half-mummy was found in the tomb of Karabasken (TT 391) where scientists also came across four canopic jars dating to the 26th Dynasty previously. The baffling half-mummy was discovered some years ago and it has now been reported the ancient remains await to be investigated by experts. According to a report published by Al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper, on May 23, the US mission operating in the Al-Asasif area discovered inside the cemetery a mummy consisting…

In 1971, the Rosicrucian Museum in California acquired a sealed ancient Egyptian coffin containing the well-preserved mummy of a high status Egyptian male. More than two decades later, a team of scientists made a shocking discovery – the mummy displayed evidence of an advanced surgical procedure carried out nearly 2,600 years ago. Inside the mummy’s left knee was a 9-inch metal orthopaedic pin that had been inserted with such advanced biomechanical principles, that initially scientists could not distinguish it from a modern-day procedure.
