12 Most Incredible Ancient Artifacts Finds

This video is a compendium of ancient culture. It’s a celebration of lost civilisations. It’s an assembly of ancient artefacts. Put less poetically, it’s a collection of fantastic archaeological discoveries. We’re going to take you on a visual tour of places and objects from long ago and far away, rediscovered by the archaeologists of the modern era - and it starts now.

Experts In Egypt Uncovered a 4400 Year Old Tomb Complete with Perfectly Preserved Paintings

A group of archaeologists is working on the excavation of an ancient burial ground in Egypt in March 2019. The early pharaohs were buried in this sprawling necropolis, buried beneath tombs and pyramids that kept their contents hidden from the public as dynasties rose and fell.

However, the researchers persevered and discovered something amazing in the process. Archaeologists in Egypt uncovered a 4400-year-old tomb complete with perfectly preserved paintings. Since the 19th century, groups of excavators have combed the ruins of secara in search of relics from the region's fascinating past.

During Egypt's first dynasty, the earliest nobles were buried here after all, meaning 1000s of years worth of history lies hidden somewhere beneath the arid rocky ground. But in July 2018, the gilded burial mask was unearthed at secara, with the discovery being the first in a string that has put work here firmly under the spotlight. And perhaps the most impressive find so far came several months later in March 2019, when archaeologists stumbled upon a tomb in an extraordinary state of preservation despite its staggering age. When we think of ancient Egypt today, we tend to recall famous landmarks such as the Pyramids of Giza in the Great Sphinx.

However, even these priceless treasures don't reveal that the Egyptian Kingdom once covered much of the Nile Valley, where it served as the most influential civilization in the Mediterranean for nearly 3000 years. In around 3100 BCE, Egypt's first Pharaoh came to the throne, thus kickstarting a period known as the first dynasty, for the next 30 centuries. Then, a series of further dynasties ruled over the ancient kingdom until the first century BCE, when the region ultimately became part of the Roman Empire.

Yet while the kings of ancient Egypt eventually faded away, their impact on the region can still be seen today. In fact, from the earliest dynasties onwards, the pharaohs showcase their vast wealth by building ornate and elaborate tombs, and even now we're discovering monuments to rulers who died many 1000s of years ago.

Scientists Examined These Portraits Of Egyptian Mummies And Uncovered Their 2,000 Year Old Secrets

Archaeologists working in Egypt uncovered a stunning collection of mummy portraits in 1899. Eerily familiar, the works are likenesses of the dead attached to their mummified remains, and they were created when the Romans held sway in Egypt some 2,000 years ago. The portraits had languished in storage ever since their discovery. But by 2015 scientists and conservators were re-evaluating these paintings – and they’ve made some startling findings.

Comparison: Most Horrible Torture of All Time

Torture was a common method of forcing people to reveal information or to confess to crimes (which they did not commit). It is described as the intentional use of physical or physiological pain to achieve an individual advantage. They are other forms people used to extract knowledge and information in history. The techniques used were painful, humiliating, and deadly, but at the time it was often justified. Torture may last to several hours to days or even longer.

Torture was proven the most effective way of obtaining a confession from imprisoned criminals during the Middle Ages. It was practiced or authorized throughout history by individuals, organizations, and states from ancient times to the present day. Punishments today are not near as harsh as in medieval times. The only punishments we have nowadays are prisons, the medieval punishments were numerous and straightforwardly cruel. The most painful torture of all time methods included barbaric devices intended not only to cause extreme pain but also to permanently disable the victim.

Mysterious Things That Happened on Mount Everest

Mount Everest is known around the world as being the tallest mountain on the planet.

The continents are moving. When will they collide?

Dig into the science of plate tectonics to find out when the next supercontinent will emerge— and how it could affect Earth’s environment.

In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener's theory of Continental Drift laid the foundation for our modern theory of plate tectonics. And today we know something even more exciting: Pangea was only the latest in a long lineage of supercontinents, and it won’t be the last. Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl explores when the next supercontinent will emerge — and what it might mean for Earth’s environment.

The Shocking Truth About Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood | Were We Deceived?

The story of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood is a well-known biblical tale, but is it a factual historical event or simply a work of fiction?

According to the story, God sees that the earth has become corrupt and filled with violence, so he decides to destroy it with a flood. However, he also chooses to save one righteous man, Noah, and his family, as well as representatives of all the world's animals, by commanding Noah to build an ark, or large boat, to save them from the flood.

Most Christina scholars argue that there is an abundance of historical and cultural references to a worldwide flood in ancient cultures. From the Sumerians and Babylonians in Mesopotamia to the Greeks and Romans to the Chinese and Native Americans, nearly every ancient culture has a story of a great flood that wiped out humankind. This suggests that a flood of catastrophic proportions did indeed occur in ancient times and was remembered and passed down through generations.

But if such a devastating event did occur, why is there little or no evidence to back it up?

The story of the Great Flood and Noah’s Ark is unlike the many mysteries of the Bible. Peter walking on water, Jesus feeding 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fishes, and Jonah being swallowed for three days by a whale are all Biblical events that have lots of significance, but there is no way to prove them because they didn’t leave anything behind.

However, when it comes to the Great Flood, such a devastating disaster would leave behind undeniable evidence that reminded people of all ages of what once happened. In fact, finding Noah’s Ark won’t be a problem for archeologists, who have been able to uncover hundreds to millions of years of fossils and unearth ancient Roman and Egyptian mysteries.

However, it seems that one of the greatest tales in the Bible that should have shaken the earth is the hardest to prove.

So, did a man like Noah really exist? Was there ever a great flood that covered the entire surface of the earth? Or does the story of Noah tell us that the Bible is not as unfaultable as we once assumed?

Lost Worlds: New Caledonia

New Caledonia is one of the last remaining fragments of the lost continent of Zealandia! A land mass that drifted away from Australia about 85 million years ago! Most of this land would eventually be submerged under the Pacific Ocean but a few remaining islands would act as a time capsule of endemic species like no other!

Here, with the near total absence of mammals, the islands of New Caledonia would be a haven for birds, reptiles, and a staggering array of plants found nowhere else on earth. Creatures who can trace their ancestry back to the lost super continent of Mesozoic Gondwana!
