Egyptologist Discovered Strange Boxes Buried Below Egypt And Their Origins Are Mystifying Scientists
It’s 1851, and French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette strides up to an imposing tower of boulders, ready to blast them with explosives. When the dust clears from the detonation, though, an extraordinary subterranean labyrinth from more than 3,000 years ago finally reveals itself. And the mysterious stone boxes that Mariette finds within the structure are astonishing – even if they present a seemingly unsolvable puzzle.
Specifically, Mariette had unearthed an ancient burial ground known as the Serapeum of Saqqara. This landmark lies about 15 miles south of Giza, which plays host to Egypt’s best-known pyramid site. And the structure of the underground burial chamber is basically that of a tunnel bored into the rock of a mountain. Positioned off that passageway, meanwhile, are a series of chambers or alcoves.
The Undiscovered Pharaoh Sahure still rests in his Pyramid?
The pyramid of Sahure at Abusir has suffered greatly from the ravages of greed and time. But perhaps a twist of fate has allowed the monument to preserve the king’s undiscovered remains.
The hazards of exploring and excavating this fallen structure have protected the chambers within for centuries or Millennia. John Perring in 1837 was the first and only explorer to reach an inner chamber since it catastrophically collapsed in the ancient past.
New research in the past few years has brought amazing discoveries that are already rewriting the history of Egyptian pyramids. Parts of the pyramid remain buried in rubble, waiting for their secrets to be unlocked. New excavations are underway that may be the best chance of finding the remains of a ruler from the Old Kingdom.

Oldest God Ever Found is Mind Blowing
A Venus figurine is any Upper Palaeolithic statuette portraying a woman, usually carved in the round. Most have been unearthed in Europe, but others have been found as far away as Siberia, and distributed across much of Eurasia.
Most date from the Gravettian period (26,000–21,000 years ago). However, findings are not limited to this period; for example, the Venus of Hohle Fels dates back at least 35,000 years to the Aurignacian era, and the Venus of Monruz dates back about 11,000 years to the Magdalenian. Such figurines were carved from soft stone (such as steatite, calcite or limestone), bone or ivory, or formed of clay and fired. The latter are among the oldest ceramics known to historians. In total, over 200 such figurines are known; virtually all of modest size, between about 3 and 40 cm (1.2 and 15.7 in) in height. These figurines are recognised as some of the earliest works of prehistoric art.
Most have wide hips and legs that taper to a point. Arms and feet are often absent, and the head is usually small and faceless. Various figurines exaggerate the abdomen, hips, breasts, thighs, or vulva, although many found examples do not reflect these typical characteristics. Depictions of hairstyles can be detailed, and especially in Siberian examples, clothing or tattoos may be indicated.
The original cultural meaning and purpose of these artefacts is not known. It has frequently been suggested that they may have served a ritual or symbolic function. There are widely varying and speculative interpretations of their use or meaning: they have been seen as religious figures, an expression of health and fertility, grandmother goddesses, or as self-depictions by female artists.
The Venus of Tan-Tan (supposedly, 500,000-300,000 BP) is an alleged artifact found in Morocco. It and its contemporary, the Venus of Berekhat Ram, have been claimed as the earliest representations of the human form.
The Venus of Berekhat Ram (280,000-250,000 BP) is a pebble found at Berekhat Ram on the Golan Heights. The pebble was modified by early humans and is suggested to represent a female human figure.
The object was excavated and first described by Naama Goren-Inbar from the Institute of Archaeology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The artifact is a scoria pebble, 35 mm long, 25 mm wide, and 21 mm thick. It weighs approximately 10 g. It was excavated in 1981 at the Acheulian site of Berekhat Ram, Golan Heights. The object is dated 280,000-250,000 BP.
Goren-Inbar reported several artificial grooves on the object: one is a transversal groove in the upper third, others are longitudinal grooves on the sides below the traversal groove. Alexander Marshack performed a microscopic study of the object in 1997. He also reported artificial modifications including the transversal and longitudinal grooves found by Goren-Inbar. Finally, Francesco d'Errico and April Nowell re-examined the object using a comparative approach. They partly confirmed, partly corrected the findings of Marshack. d'Errico and Nowell also reported the above grooves (with some corrections) and, additionally, reported areas of possible abrasion on the front, back and bottom of the object.
The Lion Man is a masterpiece. Sculpted with great originality, virtuosity and technical skill from mammoth ivory, this 40,000-year-old image is 31 centimetres tall. It has the head of a cave lion with a partly human body. He stands upright, perhaps on tiptoes, legs apart and arms to the sides of a slender, cat-like body with strong shoulders like the hips and thighs of a lion. His gaze, like his stance, is powerful and directed at the viewer. The details of his face show he is attentive, he is watching and he is listening. He is powerful, mysterious and from a world beyond ordinary nature. He is the oldest known representation of a being that does not exist in physical form but symbolises ideas about the supernatural.
Found in a cave in what is now southern Germany in 1939, the Lion Man makes sense as part of a story that might now be called a myth. The wear on his body caused by handling suggests that he was passed around and rubbed as part of a narrative or ritual that would explain his appearance and meaning. It is impossible to know what that story was about or whether he was deity, an avatar to the spirit world, part of a creation story or a human whose experiences on a journey through the cosmos to communicate with spirits caused this transformation.

The Sex Lives of Early Humans
The Sex Lives of Early Humans: A Journey into Prehistoric Intimacy
Human intimacy is as old as humanity itself, yet the sex lives of early humans remain shrouded in mystery and speculation. While we may never know every detail of their personal lives, researchers have pieced together a fascinating picture of how our ancestors approached relationships, reproduction, and the complexities of social bonds. Here, we explore what science and archaeology reveal about the sex lives of early humans—and how those behaviors shaped the course of human history.
Life, Love, and Survival in the Prehistoric World
Early humans faced a world where survival depended on community, adaptability, and resourcefulness. In this context, sex and reproduction were not just private matters but integral to the survival of the species. However, the motivations and dynamics behind these intimate acts went beyond mere reproduction.
1. Social Bonds and Cooperation
Anthropologists suggest that early human groups thrived on cooperation and interdependence. These tight-knit communities often used intimacy and sexual relationships to strengthen social ties and maintain harmony. Unlike modern societies with strict monogamous norms, some prehistoric cultures may have practiced fluid mating strategies, where sexual relations were less about exclusivity and more about fostering group cohesion.
2. Pair Bonding: The Roots of Modern Relationships
Despite the communal aspects of early human life, evidence suggests that pair bonding—a precursor to modern romantic relationships—emerged as a strategy to ensure offspring survival. By forming close partnerships, early humans could better share resources, protect young children, and divide labor. This behavior likely provided an evolutionary advantage, enabling the survival of more offspring.
The Role of Sex in Early Human Communities
Sexual behavior in early human societies was multifaceted, playing roles in reproduction, social order, and even conflict resolution. Here are some insights into the complexities of their intimate lives:
1. Reproduction and Genetic Diversity
One of the most intriguing aspects of early human sexuality is the interbreeding between different hominid species. Homo sapiens, for instance, are known to have had intimate relationships with Neanderthals and Denisovans. This genetic mingling wasn’t just a historical curiosity; it enriched the gene pool, providing modern humans with traits that helped them adapt to various environments. For example, certain immune system genes inherited from Neanderthals continue to protect us today.
2. Sex as a Social Tool
Sex wasn’t only about reproduction. In many early human societies, it likely played a role in reducing tension, building alliances, and strengthening group bonds. Some anthropologists compare these behaviors to those of our primate relatives, such as bonobos, who use sexual activity to resolve conflicts and foster cooperation within their groups.
Cultural Expressions of Sexuality
Early humans were not just practical in their approach to sex—they also expressed it in symbolic and ritualistic ways. Archaeological evidence, including cave paintings and carvings, suggests that sexuality had a place in their art and possibly their spiritual practices. Fertility figurines, such as the famous Venus of Willendorf, hint at a cultural appreciation for reproduction and the female form.
1. Rituals and Symbolism
Artifacts and ancient art suggest that early humans may have associated sex and fertility with cosmic or spiritual forces. These rituals likely served to reinforce communal values and celebrate the continuation of life.
2. Storytelling and Teaching
Oral traditions and symbolic depictions may have also been used to teach younger generations about reproduction, social norms, and the responsibilities tied to intimacy. These practices helped preserve knowledge and guide behavior within the group.
How Modern Science Unlocks Ancient Intimacy
Researchers rely on a combination of tools to uncover the intimate lives of early humans:
Fossil Evidence: Examining pelvic bones and other skeletal features provides clues about reproductive anatomy and childbirth practices.
DNA Analysis: Genetic studies have revealed surprising insights into interbreeding between species and the inheritance of traits linked to sexual behavior.
Artifacts and Art: Objects like fertility figurines and cave paintings offer glimpses into how early humans viewed sex and its role in their lives.
Lessons from the Past
Understanding the sex lives of early humans helps us appreciate the diversity and adaptability of our species. From fostering community bonds to ensuring genetic diversity, intimacy played a pivotal role in shaping human evolution. It also reminds us that sexuality, while deeply personal, has always been intertwined with larger social and biological forces.
As we continue to uncover new evidence, one thing remains clear: the story of early human intimacy is as complex and fascinating as humanity itself.
