As any archaeologist knows, very few things other than stone last for a long time. In a moist, warm climate, most organic material such as hemp, cloth, wood, and leather will decay, leaving nothing but stone and perhaps bone at an archaeological site. This is one reason why the Stone Age got its name, not because everything was made of stone, but because it is mostly stone tools and ornaments that have survived and thus it is mainly stone items that are representative of that time-period. All organic materials such animal skins worn by Paleolithic or Neolithic peoples have, for…

You will see the evolution of society and mankind from their beginnings to present day if you visit any museum or read any historical book. Many of the older evidence displayed in museums is, for example. It has been intentionally altered to conform to our preconceived ideas. However, many other discoveries offer a completely different picture of what actually happened. These evidence or items are called “out of place artifacts” and all point to ancient, highly advanced civilizations who lived before us. These discoveries are well-documented but the majority of academics and historians ignore them and keep their distance. It’s…

During archaeological excavations in Crimea , experts discovered a necropolis of the Byzantine Empire where the tomb of a giant was .

There is a shortage of cemetery space and graves in Portugal … but the cause has little to do with overpopulation and an increase in deaths amongst the living. No, Portugal has corpses stacking up in morgues because the ones that are already ᴅᴇᴀᴅ are turning into mummies and refusing to decompose. If this sounds like a new twist on the zombie apocalypse or on the Catholic and Orthodox belief that the bodies of some saints don’t decompose, the researchers are open for suggestions because they have no idea why the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ are mysteriously mummifying in Portugal. And brace yourself…

Windeby I is a bog body that was discovered in a peat bog located in the town of Windeby, near Schleswig, in the northern part of Germany. This bog body was discovered in the middle of the 20th century when peat from a bog was being cut by locals. Initially, the bog body was dubbed as the ‘Windeby Girl’, as it was believed that the body belonged to a 14-year-old female. In more recent times, however, this designation has been re-ᴀssessed, and it is now agreed that these are in fact the mummified remains of a male individual. Initially, the bog body…

WITH THEIR ᴅᴇᴀᴅ EYES AND their rotting clothes, these corpses seem like they’re straight out of a zombie movie, but the macabre figures are actually mummies, preserved for over 200 years. And now you can stare into their sunken faces yourself. These 200-year-old mummies aren’t a product of complex embalming methods, just a dry crypt and a cool breeze. Under these conditions, seven corpses which should have decomposed were instead found as seven natural mummies underneath the St. Nicholas Church in Neditz, Germany. On April 27, two of the best preserved mummies, the bodies of Johanna Juliane Pforte and Robert Christian von Hake, went…

A FAMILY of eight Inuits frozen in time for centuries are the best-preserved mummies ever found in North America. The ancient farmers, including a six-month-old baby who experts believe was buried alive, lived in Greenland 500 years ago. Found by hunters at an abandoned Inuit encampment in 1972, the mummies still have their skin, fingernails and hair intact after thousands of years. It’s believed the mummification process was accidental, and resulted from the region’s ice-cold climate. The settlement of Qilakitsoq, on Greenland’s west coast, is 280 miles north of the Arctic. Archaeologists think the group died there sometime around 1475…

‘Male siblings born 44,000 years ago’ found ten metres apart in Yakutia but the truth is rather different – amid hopes to bring species back to life. The pair of cubs were believed to be siblings both born 44,000 years ago. In fact, one of the famous extinct cave lions named Spartak has been found to be female, not male, and will need to be rechristened as Sparta. And she was born 18,000 years after the cub found next to her named Boris, it now emerges. Some 26000 years ago Sparta’s mother either left her in the cave and went…

Two ancient skeletons buried hand-in-hand, known as the Lovers of Modena , were both men, according to new research. The pair, who are believed to have died between the 4th and 6th centuries, had previously been thought to be a male and a female. But researchers from the University of Bologna in Italy used a new technique to determine their gender by analysing proteins in their tooth enamel. “Upon discovery, mᴀss media had immediately ᴀssumed they were a male-female couple, even if bad preservation of the bones did not allow an effective Sєx classification,” according to the paper, which was published in…

The fetus was discovered during a scan by researchers led by the University of Warsaw in April 2021.

[Credit: Warsaw Mummy Project]An embryo found in the belly of an Egyptian mummy last year was preserved for more than 2,000 years due to the acidification (lowering of the pH) of the woman’s body as it disintegrated.

The Siberian Ice Fairy, also known as the “Princess of Ukok” and “Princess Altai” of Ochi-Bala, are the names given to a 2,500-year-old female mummy found in 1993. in a kurgan (mound) of the Pazyryk culture in the Altai Republic, Russia. The discovery of this mummy is considered one of the most important Russian archaeological finds of the late 20th century. The mummy was unearthed in 1993. Discovering mummies is of course brought back for research, scientists have done so, but strange things have happened. On July 31, 2012, exactly 19 years after the mummy of the princess was unearthed,…

Four Early Neolithic tombs estimated to date back 8,000 years have been unearthed by a team of Bulgarian archaeologists excavating the Neolithic Slatina site in the capital city Sofia. The tombs belong to three adults and one child. Together with two graves discovered at the Slatina site in 2019, these are the earliest in the region of Sofia. Team leader Vᴀssil Nikolov of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences informed that it was the first time in the ritual complex that such extremely rare finds had been made. Excavations in the area have been going on for more than 30 years…

A marvelous juglet containing pure four gold coins has been unearthed in Jerusalem. The coins are still in excellent condition despite being at least 1,050-year-old. Looking through modern eyes the gold coins may seem like a small amount of money, but back in those days, this was a four month’s salary for a common laborer. Maybe the unearthed juglet was someone’s piggy bank, even if the jar is not shaped like a pig it could have been used to save money. The small pottery jug containing four pure gold coins from over a thousand years ago (dating to the Early Islamic period),…

VALLADOLID, Spain (Reuters) – Archaeologists brush soil away from skeletons lying twisted in an open grave, some wearing decayed leather boots, in a cypress-lined municipal cemetery in central Spain. The grave is one of more than 2,000 mᴀss burial sites estimated to lie across Spain dating from the 1936 to 1939 civil war and the ensuing dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. Only a handful have been dug up and documented. Eighty years after the start of the conflict, a bloody ideological struggle between left and right, authorities are backing efforts to recuperate some of the more than 100,000 victims forcibly…

The first Etruscan pyramid-like building was actually discovered very recently in the city of Orvieto, Italy. Only around three years or so, depending on when you’re reading this article, was this marvelous structure spotted buried underground. What gave away the fact that it was built to mimic the Etruscan style is the fact that it had the stairs that were directly carved inside of the wall. In case you didn’t know already, that is one of their signatures right there. In order to actually get inside of the pyramid though they needed to dig through the walls and floors. After…
