TERRIFYING THINGS that were normal with the Vikings

In the ancient era known as the Viking Age, these seafaring warriors were often labeled as savages, heathens, and barbarians by outsiders. However, delving beneath the surface, one discovers a society that defied the expectations of contemporary Europeans, challenging their preconceived notions. Vikings were not solely menaces, but rather remarkably sophisticated and civilized civilization. Yet, it is true that their victims were not entirely wrong in their perceptions. The Viking Age was replete with practices that, though considered normal at the time, would be deemed nutty and deeply unsettling by modern standards. Today we will unearth the chilling truths of what constituted normalcy in the Viking Age.

Scientists Examining Fragments Of The Dead Sea Scrolls Have Made A Startling Discovery

In a laboratory in the German capital of Berlin, a team of researchers are poring over fragments of an ancient-looking text. Previously on display in Washington, D.C.’s Museum of the Bible, the artifacts purportedly form part of the world-famous Dead Sea Scrolls. However, soon the experts discover that something doesn’t quite add up.

The 12 Olympians: The 12 Supreme Gods in Greek Mythology

In Today’s video, we’re going to discuss the 12 Olympians gods, the 12 greatest gods who lived in Olympus, the abode of the gods, which was located in Thessaly atop Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in all of Greece. (There’s also some information that suggests Olympus was suspended in the sky high above the earth and its mountains.) The entrance of Olympus was a gate made of clouds that was watched over by the seasons, and beyond were the magnificent palaces of the gods, made by Hephaestus himself - a place of paradise where its divine denizens feasted on nectar and ambrosia, where the winds never blew, rain never poured, and snow never fell.

12 Most Incredible Archaeological Finds

We like to make videos about incredible archaeological finds on this channel, but we don’t have a set criteria for what makes an incredible archaeological find. It could be anything that catches our eye, whether that’s a tiny piece of old jewellery or the discovery of an entire ancient town! We’ve got plenty of discoveries both large and small for you in this video, so let’s get started.

Archaeological Discoveries In China, That Shouldn't Exist!

Incredible archaeological discoveries have been made by Archaeologists when they accidentally came across a cache of ancient jades, bones, pottery, elephant tusks and colossal bronze specimens. This unexpected find of two "sacrificial pits" would become one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, requiring historians to rewrite China's early history. The artifacts were dated to about 1800 BC, a period when the cradle of Chinese civilization was believed to be located 1,200 kilometers to the northeast on the Yellow River in China's central plain.

On the other hand, the bronzes cast at Sanxingdui were significantly larger than anything else seen before and also appeared very different. It is estimated that the Sanxingdui culture lasted more than 500 years before disappearing without a trace, leaving no written records or human remains. A further archaeological discovery was made in 2001, this time in the Chengdu town of Jinsha. This discovery provided possible clues to the riddle of where they may have gone. This exhibition will explore the huge conundrum of where this 3,500-year-old civilization could have originated, where and why they suddenly disappeared, and will present many of the key findings made from. Here are the most recent archaeological discoveries in China.

Celtic woman found buried inside a TREE ‘wearing fancy clothes and jewellery’ after 2,200 years

It’s believed the woman, who died 2,200 years ago, commanded great respect in her tribe, as she was buried in fine clothes and jewellery.

Scientists say the woman was Celtic. The Iron Age Celts are known to have buried members of their tribe in “tree coffins” buried deep underground.

The woman’s remains were found in the city of Zurich in 2017, according to Live Science.

Bedecked in a fine woolen dress and shawl, sheepskin coat, and a necklace made of glass and amber beads, researchers believe she performed little if any hard labor while she was alive. It’s estimated she was around 40 years old when she died, with an analysis of her teeth indicating a substantial sweet tooth.

Adorned in bronze bracelets and a bronze belt chain with iron clasps and pendants, this woman was not part of low social strata. Analysis of her bones showed she grew up in what is now modern-day Zurich, likely in the Limmat Valley.

Most impressive, besides her garments and accessories, is the hollowed-out tree trunk so ingeniously fixed into a coffin. It still had the exterior bark intact when construction workers stumbled upon it, according to the initial 2017 statement from Zurich’s Office of Urban Development.

While all of the immediate evidence — an Iron Age Celtic woman’s remains, her bewildering accessories, and clothing, the highly creative coffin — is highly interesting on its own, researchers have discovered a lot more to delve into since 2017.

According to The Smithsonian, the site of discovery has been considered an archaeologically important place for quite some time. Most of the previous finds here, however, only date back as far as the 6th century A.D.

The only exception seems to have occurred when construction workers found the grave of a Celtic man in 1903. They were in the process of building the school complex’s gym, the Office of Urban Development said when they discovered the man’s remains buried alongside a sword, shield, and lance.

Researchers are now strongly considering that, because the Celtic woman’s remains were found a mere 260 feet from the man’s burial place, they probably knew each other.

Experts have claimed that both figures were buried in the same decade, an assertion that the Office of Urban Development said it was “quite possible.”

Though archaeologists previously found evidence that a Celtic settlement dating to the 1st century B.C. lived nearby, researchers are rather confident that the man found in 1903 and the woman found in 2017 belonged to a smaller, separate community that has yet to be entirely discovered.

The department’s 2017 press release stated that researchers would initiate a thorough assessment of the grave and its contents, and by all accounts, they’ve done just that.

Archaeologists salvaged and conserved any relevant items and materials, exhaustively documented their research, and conducted both physical and isotope-based examinations on the woman.

Most impressive to experts was the woman’s necklace, which had rather impressive clasps on either end.

The office said that its concluded assessment “draws a fairly accurate picture of the deceased” and the community in which she lived. The isotope analysis confirmed that she was buried in the same area she grew up in.

While the Celts are usually thought of as being indigenous to the British Isles, they lived in many different parts of Europe for hundreds of years. Several clans settled in Austria and Switzerland, as well as other regions north of the Roman Empire.

Interestingly enough, from 450 B.C. to 58 B.C. — the exact same timeframe that the Celtic woman and man were buried — a “wine-guzzling, gold-designing, poly/bisexual, naked-warrior-battling culture” called La Tène flourished in Switzerland’s Lac de Neuchâtel region.

That is until Julius Caesar launched an invasion of the area and began his conquest of western and northern Europe. Ultimately, it seems the Celtic woman received a rather kind and caring burial and left Earth with her most treasured belongings by her side.
