Tomb 7 At Monte Alban The Mixtec people are considered to be some of the most extraordinary artisans of Mesoamerica. Dating back to around 1000 to 1697 AD they occupied the areas of Oaxaca to Puebla and Tlaxcala in Mexico. They along with some Zapotec people were known to the Aztecs as Cloud People since they lived high up in the mountains. 10. Mysterious Medieval Brooch In May 2019, a metal detectorist in Norfolk, England made quite the discovery when he found a 1,100-year-old medieval brooch in a truckload of topsoil that was used in a landscaping project. It was a lucky find for the discoverer, who came across the brooch on his third day exploring as an amateur metal detectorist. He originally thought the artifact was Victorian, but he alerted authorities just in case (as is required by law in the UK) and archaeologists reported to the scene and correctly identified it as medieval. 9. Roman Shipwreck Graveyard The recently-announced discovery of a Mediterranean ship graveyard that archaeologists detected using sonar back in 2009 is shedding light on the Roman world of 2,000 years ago. There are five trading boats that make up the graveyard sitting on the seafloor near the Italian island of Ventotene, 328 feet (100 meters) beneath the water’s surface. 8. Gothic Jewelry A collection of jewelry and ornaments dating back between the first and fourth centuries has been discovered in a village in Poland! Found in a Gothic cemetery in northern Poland, it has been declared to be as good as that produced by the Romans!! 7. Neolithic Figurines Archaeological discoveries in the Near East from the early Neolithic period, which started during the 9th millennium B.C., are scarce so when anything is found, it is automatically considered an archaeological treasure. There is very little information about what humans were doing and how they developed in this area. 6. Royal Bronze Age Tombs In late 2019, a team of American archaeologists from the University of Cincinnati who were working in Greece’s southern Peloponnese, near the ancient city of Pylos, announced the discovery of two 3,500-year-old royal Bronze Age tombs filled with treasures near a palace from the Mycenaean era. 5. Pre-Revolutionary Gem While excavating a colonial-era tavern dating back to the 1730s at the Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson Historic Site and pre-Revolutionary port in North Carolina, an archaeology student discovered a jewel inscribed with the words “Wilkes and Liberty 45.” 4. $394 Million Shipwreck Hoard Back in 1804, a treasure-laden ship called the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes sank off Portugal’s Cape St. Mary during a battle. The wreck was discovered in 2007 by Odyssey Marine Exploration. The U.S.-based salvage company raised 594,000 gold and silver coins, totaling a value of roughly $394 million, and sent the treasure to Tampa. 3. Rare Viking Artifacts Climate change is revealing previously undiscovered artifacts in many parts of the world as glaciers, permafrost, and other long-frozen ice melts for the first time in centuries or longer. One such place is Norway, where archaeologists discovered a so-called “treasure trove” of rare artifacts earlier this year along a forgotten mountain pass. 2. ‘Magical’ Iron Age Treasure The earliest example of Iron Age gold ever discovered in Britain was found in 2016 in Staffordshire, England by treasure hunters Mark Hambleton and Joe Kania. They were ready to give up after a long day of absolutely zero luck when Kania announced that he thought he spotted something. 1. 4,000-Year-Old Paintings Starting back in 2001 at Tell el-Burak, an archaeological site in southern Lebanon, a Lebanese and German team of archaeologists from the American University of Beirut and the University of Tübingen discovered a series of fresco paintings that are believed to be the oldest in the Mediterranean region. The well-preserved artwork was found at an ancient palace, with the most recent discoveries taking place in 2019. The images depict the Tree of Life, an ancient symbol of fertility and growth, as well as a procession and hunting scenes.
