In today’s video we will highlight four significant historic discoveries that have changed the way we understand history. The first discovery was made in 2017 in the Blue Fish Caves of Yukon, Canada, where archaeologists found butchered animal bones that are 24,000 years old. This discovery pushes back the history of human habitation in North America by almost 10,000 years earlier than the earliest known spearheads on the continent. The second discovery is a short ancient Greek poem that dates back to the 8th century BCE, found inscribed on a medallion around the neck of a young woman in an ancient sarcophagus in Hungary. This poem pushes back the history of poetry by 300 years.
The third discovery is the Falcon Shrine, discovered in October 2022, which depicts previously unknown ancient rituals and practices specific to the Blemy culture, a nomadic Eastern desert culture that partially controlled the city of Baron in the 4th to 6th centuries. The fourth discovery is the Magdala Stone, a carved stone block discovered in an ancient synagogue in Israel in 2009, which upends assumptions about ancient Judaism and may indicate that Jesus Christ taught inside the synagogue of Magdala.
