12 Most Ancient Archaeological Discoveries Scientists Still Can't Explain

January 5, 2024

This video explores several mysterious artifact discoveries that have puzzled archaeologists and scientists. One such discovery is a tiny Swiss ring watch found inside a Ming Dynasty tomb in China, despite Switzerland not being founded until centuries later. Another is the Liber Lintas, a wrapping found on an ancient Egyptian mummy which is now known as one of the most impressive and important records of the ancient Etruscan written language in the world.

The video also discusses the Disc of Sabu, a 5,000-year-old obsidian artifact found in Egypt that is shaped like a wheel and thought to be a highly elaborate candlestick holder, but its obsidian material and unique design raise questions about its true purpose.

Finally, the video explores septarian nodules, which are spherical rocks that appear to be elaborately decorated and are found all over the world. While some fringe theorists believe these nodules to be of artificial origin, scientists argue they are a specific type of sedimentary rock concretion formed millions of years ago.
