Coffins Of The Cursed Well Thirteen completely sealed Ancient Egyptian graves were recently excavated from an alleged “cursed” well, where they were buried 36 feet (11 meters) underground in several niches. The wooden coffins, rare for their remarkably preserved state and even bearing some of their original colors, were stacked atop one another within the tombs. 9. Giant Footprint In one of the most bizarre discoveries ever, in a rocky area in South Africa, a hunter discovered what looks like an enormous fossilized footprint embedded in the rock. Measuring four feet (1.2 meters) tall, to some it is evidence that giants once roamed the earth a long, long time ago. 8. Mystery Coin Hoard Earlier this year, Israeli teenagers volunteering on an archaeological dig made quite the discovery- a clay jar stuffed to the brim with gold coins, dating back 1,100 years. They were very excited as it’s not very often that people strike gold!! Researchers and experts are now very curious about the 425 coins. 7. Mustang Caves Also called the Sky Caves of Nepal, the Mustang Caves are a collection of around 10,000 artificially-constructed rock-cut cave tombs in Nepal’s Mustang District. Nepal annexed the region, formerly known as the Kingdom of Lo, during the 18th century. 6. Saudi Desert Gates In 2017, archaeologists identified around 400 previously unknown stone structures, called “gates,” in the Arabian desert. Thought to be constructed by nomadic tribes thousands of years ago, the gates, made from basalt boulders, call attention to the lack of scientific attention paid to the vast region. 5. Horned Face Ornament Southeast of Krakow, Poland in the village of Biskupice, archaeologists recently unearthed an ancient ornament bearing an eerie, horned face. Measuring just four inches (10 cm) across, the strange object was found beneath one of three ancient homesteads dating back to the Stone Age. 4. Royston Cave Located near Cambridge, England, Royston Cave is an artificial cave believed to have once been used by the Order of the Knights Templar as a secret meeting place. Measuring roughly 26 feet (8 meters) high and 17 feet (5 meters) in diameter, the circular, bell-shaped chamber was accidentally discovered during the mid-18th century, and its origins remain unknown to this day. 3. Ancient Human-Like Footprints Eerily human-like footprints discovered in Crete in 2017 suggest that a previously unknown hominid -- in other words, an ancient primate closer to humans than chimps -- wandered the area as far back as 5.7 million years ago. 2. The Havering Hoard Popularly known as a “Bronze Age Mystery,” the Havering Hoard is the largest-ever collection of Bronze Age artifacts ever discovered in London. Unearthed in 2018, the nearly 3,000-year-old hoard contains axe heads, spearheads, and fragments of swords, daggers, and knives, as well as other objects rarely discovered in the U.K., amounting to 453 artifacts total, dating back to between 900 and 800 B.C. 1. The American “Lost Colony” One of the earliest groups of settlers in the United States, including the first European baby born in the U.S., inhabited the long, lost colony of Roanoke Island east of modern-day Virginia during the 1570s and ‘80s, from which they disappeared without a trace. The group of several hundred stayed on Roanoke while their ship returned to England to re-supply and pick up more people bound for the “New World.” #mysteriousdiscoveries #archaeologicalfinds #strangemysteries #originsexplained
