The oldest 6,000-year-old piece of wood from the Mesolithic era has been discovered in England

This special piece of timber was unearthed on a building site in the village of Boxford in Berkshire, England. Decorated with mysterious carvings, this rare wooden artifact has been compared to Shigir Idol, the oldest piece of carved wood in the world.

Until now, the oldest piece of wood discovered in England, known as the "Sweet Track," was an ancient walkway in the Somerset Levels that dated back to the Neolithic period, around 3807 BC, making it over 5,000 years old. Now, a large chunk of oak has been discovered in England, that was well-preserved in peat, and it has been dated to the European Mesolithic period, “more than 6,000-years-ago”.

Euphrates River is completely drying up and Something terrifying is happening

Euphrates river is drying up in 2023. Once teeming with life, now the Euphrates River resembles a desolate wasteland. Its once-gushing waters have dwindled to a mere trickle, leaving behind a cracked and parched riverbed that stretches as far as the eye can see. The ominous silence that fills the air is only broken by the anguished cries of desperate inhabitants, struggling to comprehend the magnitude of the disaster unfolding before them.

This Mysterious 1000-Year-Old Flag Survived The Norman Conquest And WW2: The Fairy Flag Of Scotland

Scotland is renowned for its mystical past, rich with fairies, kelpies, selkies, and monsters lurking in the deep lochs which populate its lands. However, some of these legends are much closer to the truth than others…

Associated with Scotland’s many tales of folk creatures are artifacts believed to hold magical properties and spiritual significance.

Amongst these is the prized Fairy Flag of Clan MacLeod, an ancient relic believed to hold a wide array of mysterious powers. These powers are said to include the ability to enhance a clan's forces when unfurled in battle, the capacity to heal plagues, and the power to save lives. Additionally, it is thought to bolster fertility if used as a lining for a nuptial bed and even has the supposed capability to call forth shoals of herring.

Some superstitions suggest that waving the flag three or more times would cause it to vanish, or lead its sacred powers to dwindle, whereas others believe this is the only way the flag's gifts can be harnessed.

The ancient flag itself is made from a 45-centimeter square of time-stained yellow or brown silk, now ripped, tattered, and threadbare. It features a number of small red dots, known as "elf dots," and scars from where its bearers have carefully mended it.

Historical records suggest that, in the early 19th century, a series of crosses were added to the markings on the flag, but these have since vanished.

Its deterioration stems not solely from the passage of time but also from pieces being taken as souvenirs and repeated examinations for scholarly and historical research.

These analyses have determined that the silk from which the flag was cut likely originated in the Far East, making it incredibly rare - such hard-to-come-by materials would only have been used to create the most precious relics...

History's Most Brutal Execution Method

Have you ever heard stories about entombed human remains in the walls of fortresses or old manor houses? Scientists have long wondered how the human body got there until they came to the awful conclusion that such finds are echoes of the ancient execution by immurement.

Like many other tortures and executions, this type of torture received its greatest expansion in the Middle Ages. It was mainly used by the Christian church to punish monks who broke their vows or questioned the scriptures of the church. Echoes of these times are often found in castles, fortresses, and ancient temples.

People were placed in specially created chambers to be entombed in the walls of buildings or in dungeons, leaving them a small supply of food and water and then blocking the only way to freedom with bricks or masonry. This made the cell of the condemned invisible, subjecting the prisoner to a slow, painful death in complete solitude and darkness.

As you have already realized, this video will focus on the most horrific types of punishment in the history of mankind. We're going to tell you what it's like to be shot out of a cannon, why people were boiled alive in England, and how pirates were executed.

Archaeologists unearthed a 1700-year-old statue of the Greek god Pan in Istanbul

Turkish archaeologists have unearthed a 1700-year-old statue of the Greek god Pan, a marble figure, during excavations at Turkiye's Saraçhane Archaeological Park in Istanbul.

A Pan statue thought to belong to the Roman period was recovered during excavation works carried out by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) teams at Saraçhane Archaeology Park, where the Church of St. Polyeuctus is located.

There are modest ruins of a structure that was once the largest church in Constantinople and was constructed to resemble the Solomon Temple in Jerusalem in a small park right in the middle of Istanbul’s Fatih neighborhood, close to the location of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.

Before the erection of the new Hagia Sophia by Emperor Justinian in 537, the Church of Saint Polyeuctus was the largest temple in Constantinople.
