Scientists do a good job of explaining the world around us, but they don't have an answer for everything. Nobody does. We're glad of that fact, though, because if people had answers for everything, we wouldn't be able to make videos full of mysterious ancient technology! There are some head-scratching ancient mysteries lined up in this one, so let's get started!
Terrifying Discovery Under The Euphrates River Scares Scientists
Why is this taking place? The euphrates, which originates in Turkey and runs through syria and Iraq, is one of the most significant rivers in the world. This extensive river has supplied the region with water formore than 10,000 years.
However, this ancient river is currently drying up due to terrifying circumstances, sending millions of people into an unprecedented drought. Under this dry riverbed, bizarre and even ancient finds have been made. As a result of the euphrates river's extremely low water level, 5 million people would not have access to potable water. What implications does this have for humanity's future? Is the euphrates waterway evaporating in light of the fact that the predictions of disclosure are going to work out as expected? Or is there something else we should be aware of?
Join us as we look into the terrifying discovery that has scientists scared under the euphrates river. The euphrates river has a significant place in human history. The banks of huge rivers like the euphrates and tigris were where ancient mesopotamian civilization developed. When men first started farming and other agricultural activities, which later spread to other parts of the world. A reliable supply of pure water came from the euphrates. Because biblical sources claim that the euphrates was one of the four rivers that flowed from the garden of eden, it was one of the first rivers mentioned in the bible.
The Euphrates had a big impact on important events like wars and invasions, which affected how people and power were distributed in most of asia and north africa. Due to centuries of flooding from the Euphrates and tigris rivers, the southern lowlands of what is now iraq had the richest soil in the near east. It is believed that the longest river in asia is 1740 miles long. Prior to entering the persian gulf. From Turkey, the river flows through syria and Iraq.
Could the Sunken City of Cuba be Atlantis?
A team of explorers were conducting an exploration and survey mission little over ten years ago when their sonar equipment detected an intriguing group of stone constructions 650 meters below the surface. The constructions looked to reveal neatly ordered stones indicative of an urban development and appeared completely similar to the arid "desert" of the ocean below. Soon after, there was a media frenzy, with news websites running titles like "Atlantis Found in Cuba" and "Lost City of the Caribbean Found." The government, national museum, and national geography were all interested in the discovery as well, and they all pledged to look into the unusual sonar images. The tale has since been forgotten, more than ten years later. What ever happened to Cuba's submerged "ruins"? Were they ever thoroughly looked into? And why hasn't the news stopped talking about this peculiar discovery?
The initial discovery was made in 2001 while marine engineer Pauline Zalitzki and her husband Paul Weinzweig, who run the Canadian business Advanced Digital Communications (ADC), were collaborating with the Cuban government on a survey mission off the coast of the Guanahacabibes Peninsula in the Pinar del Ro Province of Cuba. ADC was one of four companies collaborating with the government of President Fidel Castro to explore the Cuban seas, which are thought to be home to thousands of treasure-laden ships from the Spanish colonial era. The crew discovered a collection of symmetrical and geometric stone structures that resembled an urban complex while utilizing cutting-edge sonar technology to investigate a 2-square-kilometer area of the sea floor.
When Zalitzki examined the sonar images, he noticed what seemed to be strange structures of crests, blocks, and geometric forms. Some of the blocks appeared to be constructed in pyramid shapes, while others were round.
In July 2001, they went back to the location with senior researcher and geologist Manuel Iturralde of the Natural History Museum of Cuba. This time, they used a remotely operated vehicle to look at and record the structures. Large, roughly 8-by-10-foot chunks of stone that resembled hewn granite were visible in the photographs. Some of the blocks appeared to be placed on top of one another on purpose, while others appeared to be left alone. Zalitzki stated that although it appeared that the photographs depicted the ruins of a sunken metropolis, he was hesitant to make any judgments in the absence of more information.
Iturralde, an expert in undersea formations, remarked of these "very unique structures" that they had "caught our imagination." But I would struggle to explain this in terms of geology.
According to an estimate, it would have taken 50,000 years for such structures to submerge to the depth where they were allegedly discovered. Iturralde continued, "With any of the cultures we are aware of 50,000 years ago, there was not the architectural capacity to build elaborate buildings." A Florida State University expert in underwater archaeology commented, "If they were correct, that would be cool, but it would be very advanced compared to what we would have seen in the New World at that time. The buildings are both out of place and out of time."
News outlets quickly drew comparisons between the discovery and the mythical lost city of Atlantis during the media frenzy that followed the announcement of its discovery. Zelitsky and Weinzweig, however, resisted drawing such analogies. Zelitsky claimed that the tale is a myth. What we discovered was most likely originally part of a local culture that existed along a 100-mile "land bridge" that connected Cuba and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Iturralde continued by mentioning local myths about the Maya and indigenous Yucatecos that describe an island home to their ancestors that disappeared beneath the waters. Iturralde does not rule out the possibility that the rock formations could simply be the consequence of Mother Nature's miracles, though. He claimed that nature was capable of producing some truly incredible structures.
Others are less inclined to embrace this viewpoint, despite the fact that hundreds of media outlets have covered submerged ruins, advanced civilizations, the lost city of Atlantis, and sunken cities. The depth of the purported ruins, according to Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews of the debunking website Bad Archaeology, is the largest issue for advocates of the sunken city theory. Sea levels decreased dramatically during the Pleistocene, which was marked by a series of ice ages with a maximum dip of about 100 meters.
It was never above sea level during the Ice Period unless the area on which they were standing had obviously sunk. Atlantis is said to have been destroyed "by terrible earthquakes and floods," according to Plato's version. It is doubtful that an entire city could have survived dropping more than 600 meters into an abyss, Fitzpatrick-Matthews says, assuming we take Plato at his word, which is what we must do if we think that Atlantis was a real location.
If we assume that he is correct and that these stone structures are simply the result of nature rather than representing an ancient submerged city, geologists and other scientists would undoubtedly be quick to seize upon the discovery and look into what freakish natural event produced such peculiar formations. Curiously, no recorded follow-up inquiries have been made, and media sources have completely stopped reporting on the situation. What happened to all the assurances that the government, National Geographic, the National Museum, and other scientists would conduct additional surveys?
Some have questioned whether there has been a concealment of information surrounding the results as a result of the fast dismissal of the story. Fitzpatrick-Matthews asserts that in the end, experts were not persuaded that Zelitsky had actually uncovered a buried metropolis and that the tale just went dead.

Archaeologists Discovered A Monumental Complex Of Ancient Rome In Reims
Archaeologists digging in Reims, France have discovered a monumental ancient Roman complex dating back to the second to third century AD. The Roman megastructure uncovered in Reims was found complete with underfloor heating, a hydraulic network and rare pigments. Experts speculate that it was either the home of a wealthy individual or a public spa complex.
Located in north-eastern France, Reims is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Notre-Dame de Reims cathedral, which was the site of coronations for French kings, and the 4th-century Porte de Mars triumphal arch that was built by the Romans.
Experts Found An Ultra Rare Bible Era Fabric – And It’s More Precious Than Gold
Shouts of excitement reverberate through a busy archaeological site – something strange has been spotted peeping out of the ground. Is it some fabulous gem? Or an opulent piece of ancient jewelry crafted from precious metals? Well actually, no. Instead, it’s a vivid piece of purple fabric that has caused such animation at Timna, a corner of Israel that was once the site of a mineral mine. But while the tuft of half-buried textile might admittedly seem a little shabby to the untrained eye it is, in fact, even more valuable than gold...
Enhanced Great Pyramid Footage from the Djedi Robot
In the years before 2011, scientists had developed the Djedi robot to navigate the narrow and steep shafts of the pyramid, using cutting edge robotics to look through the hole that was drilled by Pyramid Rover through Gantenbrink’s door in 2002.
One of key finds from Djedi was the back of the famous metal pins Gantenbrink’s door, which passed through the thin block of limestone and looped around.
The other discovery by Djedi was red ochre marks. We see a thick red line and what look to be symbols or writing of some kind next to it. The red line also looks to continue on beneath the block that is opposite the door.
The Image Analysis team has cut the footage from 8 hours to 20 minutes, so it only shows what was filmed through the hole in the door, and we have further cut this down to about 17 minutes, because the camera is often stationary for long periods of time.
12 Most Mysterious Recent Finds Scientists Can't Explain
When archaeologists discover an ancient ceramic pot, they know what it was used for. The same can be said of ancient tools, temples, weapons and even workplaces. They don’t recognise or understand everything, though, and nor do the scientists they sometimes consult to assist them. To illustrate our point, here’s a video collection of flummoxing finds!
Tutankhamun - The Mummified Boy King
Tutankhamun, often referred to as the "Boy King," was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty (New Kingdom), who ruled during the 14th century BCE. He ascended the throne at the young age of nine or ten and ruled for approximately ten years until his death around the age of 18 or 19.
Tutankhamun's significance in history primarily stems from the discovery of his nearly intact tomb (KV62) in the Valley of the Kings by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. This extraordinary find provided invaluable insights into ancient Egyptian burial practices, art, and culture. The tomb contained a vast array of artifacts, including the iconic gold funerary mask that has become a symbol of ancient Egypt.
The young pharaoh's mummified remains were also found within the tomb, which has led to extensive study and speculation about the cause of his death. Various theories have been proposed, ranging from an infection resulting from a broken leg to genetic disorders caused by inbreeding among the royal family. More recent investigations using modern techniques like CT scans and DNA analysis suggest that a combination of factors, including a severe bout of malaria and a degenerative bone disorder, may have contributed to Tutankhamun's premature death.
Tutankhamun's reign itself was relatively uneventful. He was likely a figurehead under the influence of powerful advisors, such as the vizier Ay and the military commander Horemheb. One notable aspect of his reign was the restoration of the traditional polytheistic religion, which had been replaced by the monotheistic worship of the sun god Aten under his father, Akhenaten.
The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb ignited a worldwide fascination with ancient Egypt and fueled further archaeological exploration. The Boy King's short life and the mystery surrounding his death continue to captivate the imagination of both scholars and the public alike.

Cats Served An Unusual Purpose In Ancient Egypt That Most People Wouldn’t Understand Today
Ancient Egypt continues to fascinate us today — thousands of years after those magnificent pyramids were built. And while plenty of mysteries still surround this distant era — just how did they build the pyramids with no modern equipment? — there’s one thing we know for sure: the pharaohs and their people loved cats. They weren’t so different from us in that respect. But this obsession was taken to lengths that are totally beyond the understanding of us 21st-century folk.
The Lost City of Z: A Journey deep in the Amazon Rainforest
"The Lost City of Z" is a book written by David Grann, published in 2009, which tells the true story of Percy Fawcett, a British explorer who ventured into the Amazon rainforest in the early 20th century in search of a legendary city he called "Z." Fawcett believed that the city, which he thought was the remains of an ancient civilization, was located deep in the unexplored jungle of Brazil.
Fawcett made several trips to the Amazon, but his last expedition in 1925, along with his son Jack and a friend named Raleigh Rimell, was the one that captured the world's attention. The three men disappeared without a trace, and their fate became one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century. Many people, including other explorers, journalists, and the British government, attempted to find out what happened to Fawcett and his companions, but no one could uncover the truth.
David Grann, a staff writer for The New Yorker, became obsessed with Fawcett's story and decided to retrace his footsteps in the Amazon. Grann's book is a combination of historical research, personal narrative, and adventure writing. It follows Grann as he travels to Brazil and meets with modern-day explorers, archaeologists, and indigenous people who still live in the region. Grann's journey takes him through treacherous rivers, dense jungles, and dangerous wildlife as he tries to uncover the secrets of Fawcett's last expedition.
Along the way, Grann explores the history of the Amazon and the many myths and legends that have surrounded it for centuries. He also examines the impact that European colonization had on the indigenous people of the region, as well as the ongoing struggle for their rights and preservation of their culture.
"The Lost City of Z" is a fascinating read that combines history, adventure, and mystery. It sheds light on a lesser-known chapter in the history of exploration and the human fascination with the unknown.
Experts Unearthed A 4,500 Year Old Palace In Iraq, And It Could Hold The Key To A Lost Civilization
A group of archaeologists based in southern Iraq made the shocking announcement of a remarkable discovery that could reveal the secrets of one of humanity's most significant ancient civilizations. Because it seems too good to be true, this discovery is one that many experts cannot take at face value.
However, it is a genuine temple from the final Sumerian city of Gosu. Experts on earth day say that a 4500-year-old Iraqi palace may have the key to a lost civilization. The person in charge of the excavation that led to the discovery of the palace was Dr. Sebastian Ray. However, despite this man's impressive academic and professional credentials, it was difficult for many of his peers to take his claims seriously. Even nasty accusations were leveled at him, suggesting that he had lied about everything.
Dr. Rate attended numerous conferences worldwide following the discovery. He tried to persuade his fellow experts of his findings, but he was initially simply not believed. Based on what he told the Guardian:" “I heard, "oh, no, you're making it up." from everyone. Your time is being wasted. You are wasting money from the British Museum and the UK government. They were telling me that. It appears that many experts were hesitant to believe that the Sumerians constructed this palace in Gosu.” After all, these individuals belonged to one of humanity's earliest civilizations. It was possible for a palace built roughly 4500 years ago to survive this long, and perhaps it can reveal more about the enigmatic builders. In and of itself, the palace is significant to historians and archaeologists.
However, there is also something extremely significant in the building. There were 200 plus tablets written in cuneiform on the inside. It would appear that these slabs contained administration-related records. They can assist specialists in comprehending the specific functions of this civilization. It is always a fascinating and essential endeavor to learn about ancient civilizations, but the sumerians are a particularly significant example.
