It was an American-made AN-M57 aerial bomb. From their understanding, war-related hazards had already been cleared from the building zone, which sat next to the Ho Chi Minh Highway. Kind of a dangerous surprise!! A worker in 2015 was operating an earth-moving machine when he discovered the bomb roughly five feet (1.5 meters) underground. 11. 12,000-YEAR-OLD MASTADON In April of last year, construction workers digging a new sewer line on a Seymour, Indiana farm discovered a mysterious collection of large bones. They alerted Tony Nehrt, one the property owners, who initially wrote the find off as inconsequential. “When they called and told us they found bones, we thought they might be cattle bones,” Nehrt told United Press International (UPI). “We didn’t get the true picture until we saw the size of the bones.” 10. 14TH-CENTURY CAVE Earlier this year, railway construction workers in Surrey, England discovered a small sandstone cave and drawings while doing repair work on a railroad! This is just one of several discoveries workers have made while working on railroad projects. 9. WORLD WAR II GRAVES In a discovery that was unexpected, to say the least, construction workers building a memorial to victims of communism near the Estonian capital of Tallinn came upon the unmarked graves of an estimated 100 German soldiers who died during World War II. Found in early 2018 near the Baltic coast, the undocumented burials represent what researchers believe is a larger nearby German military cemetery. 8. Message In A Bottle While up on 12 feet (3.7 meters) of scaffolding and demolishing an 18-inch (45.7 cm) thick brick wall at Montclair State University in New Jersey in late 2019, a construction worker named Robert Kanaby heard the unexpected sound of glass shattering. Tucked three bricks deep into the middle of the wall, where there would normally be a middle layer of brick, was a message in a now-shattered beer bottle dated July 3, 1907. 7. DINOSAUR EGGS Construction workers in China’s Jiangxi Province received the surprise of a lifetime on Christmas day 2017, when they discovered a clutch of 20 to 30 perfectly-preserved dinosaur eggs while blasting through rock and soil. Right as the workers were about to dispose of a large boulder, they noticed oval stones and black fragments in the rock. 6. AN ACTUAL POT OF GOLD In the central Netherlands village of Hoef en Haag in 2018, employees from the Oasen utility company discovered a literal pot of gold -- and silver -- while preparing to lay water lines. The employees’ supervisor notified Landscape Heritage Utrecht, an archaeology company that documents local discoveries. They dated the find to the 15th century, when a French noble family called the Dukes of Burgundy ruled the Netherlands. Perhaps you've heard of them? 5. Rare Mosaic While installing communication cables in Jerusalem’s Old City in 2017, construction workers stumbled upon an incredibly rare 1,500-year-old mosaic floor bearing a Greek inscription that mentions the Roman Emperors Justinian I and Constantine the Great. 4. Mammoth Skeletons Construction workers in Mexico City recently uncovered at least 200 mammoth skeletons while making way for the new Santa Lucía airport, offering renewed hope for learning more about the creature’s mysterious extinction. 3. Nice Flooring Amid the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, Jersey City, New Jersey Mayor Steven Fulop decided to move forward with plans to restore City Hall, taking advantage of the building’s emptiness and the ability to conduct renovations without distracting anyone. 2. Human Skull In March of this year, construction workers found an unpleasant surprise- a human skull and a piece of gravestone while digging in St. Louis, Missouri’s Central West End neighborhood. Not really the same as a pot of gold. 1. New England’s Oldest Human Remains In early 2019, work crews from the Connecticut Department of Transportation encountered evidence of New England’s earliest human inhabitants while excavating a new bridge site. Dating back roughly 12,500 years to the Paleoindian period, the remains were found about six feet (1.8 meters) underground, along with evidence of human activity #recentdiscoveries #archaeologicaldiscoveries #ancientartifacts #originsexplained
