12 Most Incredible Archaeological Finds

January 5, 2024

Archaeologists have made several recent discoveries, including the eighth sarcophagus of a protector of the Divine Flank, the first of its kind found in Turkey and the only one still in possession of grave goods and the bones of its occupant.

A 2nd-century marble funerary altar dedicated to a 13-year-old girl has also been found in Rome, while modernising work on an electrical substation in Mexico City led to the discovery of an ancient Aztec house dating back to the late post-classic period.

Finally, the unusually clear waters of Lake Michigan have enabled people to see many of the dozens (if not hundreds) of shipwrecks at its bottom, including the James McBride, which sank in 1857, and the Rising Sun, which sunk in 1917, and was owned by a religious cult called The House of David.
