Taulas Of Menorca Menorca, a small Mediterranian island belonging to the Spanish Balearic Islands archipelago, contains a series of 13 fascinating prehistoric stone monuments of unknown origin called taulas. They range up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) in height and date back between 1000 and 300 B.C. 8. Paracas Candelabra Carved two feet (61 cm) deep into a Peruvian hillside at Pisco Bay, the Paracas Candelabra, also called the Candelabra of the Andes, is a 600-foot-tall (183 meters) prehistoric geoglyph of unknown origin. Dating back to 200 B.C, the most accepted theory is that it was built by the Paracas civilization, but that’s another thing that researchers are unsure of. 7. Nan Madol Located in the Federated States of Micronesia, Nan Madol is an ancient city built atop coral reefs on a small island called Pohnpei. (Not Pompei, but Pohnpei). It’s believed to be the only city of its kind and defies experts’ understanding of ancient architecture. The stones and columns that were used to build Nan Madol are so incredibly heavy, researchers admittedly don’t know how it was done. 6. The Lost City Of Gold Following the arrival of Europeans to the New World, tales spread of a lost city made entirely of gold, called El Dorado. Given the widespread lust for gold throughout Europe at the time, colonizers searched tirelessly for this supposed gilded metropolis during the 16th and 17th centuries. 5. Ollantaytambo Located roughly 47 miles (75 km) from Cusco, Peru is a town called Ollantaytambo, which is also the name of the archaeological site with enormous ruins from the Inca Empire. Now it is also known as the Sacred Valley of the Incas and was the stronghold for Inca Resistance when the Spanish came to conquer Peru. 4. Gobekli Tepe In southeastern Anatolia, Turkey lies the oldest known temple in human history, Göbekli Tepe. At roughly 11,500 years old, the stone complex predates Stonehenge, yet it contains evidence of architectural planning, challenging long-held beliefs among scholars about how ancient hunter-gatherers lived. 3. Temple Of Jupiter The Roman empire’s largest sanctuary, the Temple of Jupiter, was located in Baalbek, in modern-day Lebanon. All that remains of it today are six Corinthian columns attached to their entablature, or horizontal beam. This is because the temple was dismantled under the emperor Justinian’s instruction, after being struck by lightning during the 6th century, according to ancient written records. 2. Chachapoyas Dubbed the “Machu Picchu of the north,” Kuélap was a pre-Incan walled settlement located on a Peruvian mountaintop cliffside and built by a mysterious culture called the Chachapoyas, also known as the “Cloud People” or “Cloud Warriors.” 1. Ggantija The ruins at Ggantija, on the Mediterranean island of Gozo, near Malta constitute the world’s second-oldest religious structures after Gobekli Tepe. Dating back at least 5,500 years, they’re even older than Egypt’s Great Pyramids. #mysterious #unexplained #wonders #ancient #world #discoveries #artifacts #archaeology #originsexplained #top10
