How do we explain the technological achievements of our ancestors? There are so many structures and artefacts that they left behind seemingly without having possessed the technology to create them, and yet we look right past them. It’s almost like we don’t want to know! Is it possible that they had access to higher forms of technology that have since been lost? You might start believing that after you’ve watched this video!
Roman deity heads found in a cricket club are "priceless"
Volunteer archaeologists have stumbled upon two rare head sculptures of Roman deities while working on a dig.
Perfect timing for the volunteers helping at the dig
The excellent discovery were discovered earlier this week at Carlisle Cricket Club during the most recent excavation of a Roman bathhouse.
The sandstone artifacts, which are likely to have been created as early as AD 200, formerly made up full-figure pieces that stood 12 to 15 feet (3.5 to 4.5 meters) tall.
Frank Giecco, the lead archaeologist, described them as "unique and priceless."
The three times the size of a human head sculptures were discovered in the city near Hadrian's Wall at the edge of what was formerly a paved Roman road.
Since 2021, more than 1,000 artifacts have been discovered in the location, including ceramics, weaponry, coins, and semi-precious stones.
The heads are said to be a very rare find in Carlisle
"International significance" has been used to describe certain.
However, Mr. Giecco asserted, "In my thirty years as an archaeologist, I've never discovered anything like this before.
"This is really amazing for Carlisle. It merely elevates this building's prominence.
Figures were common in bathhouses, according to Mr. Giecco, "but sculptures of this size are really special."
"In Britain, you can probably only think of a few examples of this kind," he remarked.
The discovery has been deemed "really exciting" by the volunteers helping with the excavations.
The heads are thought to belong to statues of Roman gods
One person remarked, "I realized it was actually something to be excited about when all the real archaeologists, the professionals, got excited and started crowding around themselves."
Government and Heritage Lottery funds has been used to support Uncovering Roman Carlisle, an initiative managed by Wardell Armstrong, Cumberland Council, and Carlisle Cricket Club.
In January, more than 30 semi-precious stones were discovered there.
The British Museum in London will host an exhibition the following year that will feature items discovered in prior digs over the preceding eight years.
Kublai Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson, left behind 12 graves in China that were beautifully decorated and made of carved bricks
China has a lengthy past. Along with fossil evidence from the Paleolithic Era, the nation has also experienced the rise and fall of numerous empires and dynasties. Archaeologists recently found 12 magnificent tombs in Shandong, China, that are thought to be around 700 years old.
According to the local archeological institute, 12 ancient graves from the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368) have been unearthed in Jinan, in east China's Shandong Province. One of the most significant discoveries ever made in the province of eastern China is this one.
Kublai Khan, the conqueror Genghis Khan's grandson, established the Yuan dynasty. The tombs are associated with the Guo family, according to an inscription that was found at the burial complex.
The murals in one of the two-chamber Yuan Dynasty tombs were comparatively well maintained. Chisels and wooden hammers were used to carve patterns into the bricks for the carved murals. The murals' magpies and branches featured a traditional Chinese good luck symbol.
The director of the institute, Li Ming, claims that this is the largest collection of Yuan Dynasty brick mural tombs to have been discovered in the region.

According to Li, "the tombs were arranged in an orderly and seemingly planned manner, and some of the owners were related by blood, providing new material for the study of the organization of family cemeteries in the Yuan Dynasty."
More than 60 pieces of pottery and porcelain ware, bronze mirrors, copper coins, and other cultural items were discovered during the dig, which got underway on April 23. The findings will support research on the Yuan Dynasty porcelain made in the area and its surroundings.
From 1271 to 1368, the Mongol Empire was ruled by Kublai Khan, the fifth Khagan and a member of the Borjigin line.
Mother Shipton's Cave | Legend of The Witch Summoning The Devil
Mother Shipton’s Cave is a small cave in North Yorkshire, England, associated with the legendary soothsayer and prophetess, Mother Shipton.
According to text by the 17th century authors, Richard Head, and later by J. Conyers, Ursula Southeil (known as Mother Shipton), was born in 1488 in the market town of Knaresborough.
Both authors note that her mother, Agatha Soothtale, was a poor and desolate 15-year-old orphan who had fallen under the influence of the Devil and engaged in an affair, while some legends suggest that Agatha was a witch that summoned the Devil to conceive a child.
Shipton was born in a cave on the banks of the River Nidd during a violent thunderstorm. She was described as deformed with a hunchback and bulging eyes, cackling away at the rumbles of thunder that caused the raging storms to dissipate.
The cave sits next to a geological wonder called the Petrifying Well. The waters of the well are rich in sulphate and carbonate that encase objects with a stony exterior. In the past, this was believed to be the result of magic or witchcraft that could turn objects to stone, but this is a natural phenomenon due to a process of evaporation and deposition in waters with an unusually high mineral content.

Wends: The Slavic Pirates that the Vikings Feared
The Vikings have long been recognized as the lords of the early medieval ocean. In their speedy longships they travelled from Britain to Persia, leaving behind burned monasteries and looted settlements. Men and women prayed for God to save them from the wrath of the Northmen, and children were told to behave - lest the Vikings come for them next.
But there was a people, that even the Vikings feared. They came from the southern baltic in similar ships as theirs, but faster, and far more numerous. These fleets were mobile cavalry units, carrying horses and riders, quickly able to make landfall and sweep the countryside. Their raids were swift, deadly, and profitable. The shores of Denmark, Sweden and Norway were littered with corpses, and smoking ruins. Nowhere was safe... from the Wends.

The Two Ancient Jewish Gods
The non-Jews of Alexandria and Rome alleged that the cult of Dionysus was widespread among Jews. Plutarch tarch gives a Bacchanalian interpretation to the Feast of Tabernacles:
"After the festival called 'the fast' [the Day of Atonement], during the vintage, the Jews place tables laden with different fruits in booths of thickets woven from vines and ivy. Their first festival is called by them Sukkah (σκηνή). A few days later, the Jews celebrate another festival, which one may simply call a Bacchanalian festival. For this is a festival on which the Jews carry fig branches and sticks adorned with ivy and carry them into the Temple. One does not know" – adds Plutarch – "what they do in the Temple. It seems reasonable to suppose that they practice rites in honor of Bacchus. For they blow small horns as the people of Argos do during the festival of Dionysus, and call upon their god. Others, who are called Levites, walk in front, either in allusion to Lysios (λύσιος) – perhaps 'the god who attenuatescurses' – or because they call out 'Euius,' i.e., Bacchus."
