Rök Stone For over a century since its discovery, researchers have remained puzzled over Sweden’s Rök stone, an eight-foot-tall (2.4 meters) Viking monolith featuring the world’s longest-known runic inscription. It was raised by a father who dedicated it to his son who had died. It is a 700-character essay written by Varinn, the grieving father who feared that winter was coming, a long period of catastrophic cold. Or perhaps in the metaphorical, Game of Thrones “Winter is Coming” way. 8. Arkaim While performing routine digging in the steppe of Russia’s Southern Ural in 1987, a team of archaeologists unearthed the circular ruins of a 3,600-year-old fortified settlement called Arkaim. This mysterious site was built sometime between the 17th and 16th centuries B.C. and it’s actually one of several similar structures throughout a large territory spanning the southern Trans-Urals and northern Kazakhstan known as the “Country of Towns.” 7. Missing War Planes In 2003, search teams from the U.S. military discovered dozens of buried Iraqi air force fighter jets in the al-Taqaddum airfield west of Baghdad, when searchers saw the tops of two tail fins belonging to a Cold War-era MiG-25 interceptor protruding from the sand. The aircrafts were buried fully intact, but with no measures taken to protect them from the elements, begging the question of whether they would ever fly again. Other planes were found hidden under trees or draped with camouflage sheets. 6. Horse Domestication The history of horse domestication is shrouded in mystery, with researchers occasionally making discoveries that bring them one step closer to understanding how humans came to develop such a close relationship to these animals. Although sometimes discoveries seem to just confuse us more!! 5. Berkeley Mystery Wall Across California’s East Bay Hills and throughout the Bay Area in general, there are a series of rock walls and other formations whose histories are only partially solved. Some acted as property boundaries for Spanish ranchers, while others were built by Chinese workers clearing land for farms and ranches. 4. Devil’s Corkscrews During the mid-19th century in Sioux County, Nebraska, ranchers began discovering spiral structures about as thick as a human arm, made from a hard, rock-like substance, standing vertically in the ground. They contained an upward chamber at the bottom end, which often contained animal bones. Some of these bizarre formations, which were nicknamed “devil’s corkscrews,” were taller than a grown man. 3. The Giants’ Wheel Rujm El-Hiri, which is Arabic for “mound of the wild cat,” is a megalithic stone circle and burial mound in Golan Heights, currently occupied by Israel. Local surveyor Yitzhaki Gal discovered the formation, which also goes by the Hebrew name Galgal Harefaim, or “the giants’ wheel,” in 1968. It sits on a remote volcanic plateau in the company of thousands of Middle Bronze Age tombs called dolmens. 2. Girsu Bridge Archaeologists started excavating the ancient Sumerian city of Girsu located in modern-day southern Iraq in 1877. In 1929, they discovered an ambiguous, large stone structure that resembled a pair of parentheses, measuring 130 feet (40 meters) long and 33 feet (10 meters) wide, with 11-foot-high (3.4 meters) walls. Researchers theorized that the “enigmatic construction,” as they called it, was a temple, dam, or water regulator and didn’t think much beyond that, instead writing the seemingly inconsequential structure off as unimportant. 1. King Tut’s Gemstone British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered King Tut’s untouched tomb in 1922. As you know this discovery is one of the most incredible archaeological discoveries ever and King Tut has become a symbol of Egypt. Its burial chambers were chock-full of treasures like ivory statues, gold objects, and precious jewelry. One treasure chest contained a pectoral, or breastplate, covered in silver and gold accents and various gemstones, including a peculiar yellow-green stone in the shape of a winged scarab, representing the god Ra. #archaeology #discoveries #originsexplained
