Sutton Hoo Since its discovery in 1939, Sutton Hoo is the most important physical link that we have to the Anglo Saxon World. Located near the Suffolk coast, there is a stretch of land covered in mysterious mounds of earth surrounded by legend. 9. Chariot and Two Horses In 2013 some archaeologists hit the jackpot in Bulgaria when they discovered the remains of a complete chariot and two horses standing, practically frozen in time, ready to take the deceased to the underworld. 8. Greater Adria Consider the following: have you ever visited someplace without knowing it? Maybe you were sleeping in the car during a long drive and missed it! But based on recent geological discoveries, it appears that every year, thousands of tourists may have been vacationing on a long lost continent! 7. Knockan Crag This is a sight a billion and a half years in the making. Located in Scotland, the Knockan Crag is a national nature reserve where billions of years of geological history come alive. There were many geological firsts in Scotland, but the Knockan is perhaps the most visually striking, and even controversial. 6. Prehistoric Teeth This might make you want to take a trip to the dentist. Recently, in Eppelsheim, Germany, archaeologists uncovered two teeth – but they were around 9.7 million years old. While not human teeth, they look a lot like Lucy’s teeth, the famous Australopithecus afarensis from which scientists believe humans descended. 5. Pulpit Rock If you’re into hiking, then this next discovery is sure to interest you. Norway is pretty cold, but it was definitely a lot colder during the ice age. During that era, the glaciers formed the huge fjords into the Norwegian countryside. 4. Ness of Brodgar The Orkney Islands are well hidden off the coast of Scotland. In 2012, archaeologists announced that they were home to an ancient settlement dating back to approximately 3200 BC. The Ness of Brodgar, as archaeologists call this settlement, is home to a wealth of history. Its walls are perhaps the oldest painted walls of Europe, and its local stone crafts date well before Stonehenge. 3. Knossos In the early 20th century, Sir Arthur Evans discovered the ancient ruins of Knossos, and the site of its unearthing has become one of the most intensively examined archeological sites in the world. Given that some say that it is Europe’s oldest city, we have a lot to learn from its ruins. 2. Thrihnukagigur This is a tongue twister, much like many things you might find in Iceland. But if you’re a thrill-seeker, then this archaeological hot spot may be just the place for you. Discovered in 1974 by Árni B Stefánsson, Thrihnukagigur is a volcano located near Reykjavík. But don’t worry about melting in its interior; it has been inactive for the past 4000 years. 1. Mega Stonehenge I know you’ve heard of Stonehenge. Well, scientists now know that the Stonehenge area is much bigger than that one pile of rocks. In fact, about 2 miles away from the original, there is a space that was home to burial grounds, places of worship, and a mound of stones even bigger – about five times bigger, in fact – than the one that tourists travel from around the world to see. #discoveries #mysterious #incredible #amazing #recent #europe #finds #archaeology #unexplained #artifacts #originsexplained
