10. Mystery Heads
Finding disembodied heads underground in an Ancient Egyptian tomb sounds like something from a horror movie. But don’t worry, they’re not real heads. As for what they were doing there, the jury’s still out. The heads are a bit of a mystery to this day. The first examples were discovered in 1894 and since then, over 30 have been located. They were nicknamed ‘reserve heads’ because… well, they looked like a bunch of spare heads!

9. The Giza Void
It’s amazing how even the oldest landmarks can still surprise you. In 2017 experts were very surprised when examining the legendary Great Pyramid of Giza on the West Bank of the Nile. As you may know, but just in case you don’t this ancient wonder of the world was built for Pharaoh Khufu and is the largest one of 3.

8. Kites
Mysterious lines in the Egyptian deserts have been seen from the air for around a century. Everyone was wondering what they were! It turns out, they’re made up of little stone walls, not very high at all, in a kite-style formation. Some of them are as long as 40 miles. Even more mysterious was the fact that they lead toward a pit in the sand.

7. King Tut’s Mummy
One of the great mysteries of Ancient Egypt is the circumstances surrounding the death of Tutankhamun. Howard Carter found his legendary tomb in 1922 and made him a historical superstar. What’s maybe not as well known is that King Tut died very young, while in his teens.

6. Black Boxes
If you thought the Great Pyramid of Giza sounded mysterious, wait till you hear about what was found in Memphis! In a cave network 12 miles away from Giza, 24 big black boxes were found. They weigh 100 tons each and are so unusual that some believe them to be alien artefacts!

5. Lost Labyrinth
In the vicinity of the Middle Egyptian city of Faiyum, 100 km (62 miles) southwest of Cairo, there is an area known as Faiyum Oasis. Supposedly, there lies what’s left of one of the most immense and talked-about structures of Ancient Egypt… the mysterious Lost Labyrinth.

4. That’s a Wrap
Though people don’t know a lot about Ancient Egypt, there are certain things everybody knows about, hopefully. Egypt is famous for its pyramids and also the mummies. Examples have been found of mummies that don’t look the way you’d expect. Take this one in the Louvre museum in Paris. It’s an exhibit in the long-established Department of Egyptian Antiquities, which is made up of an impressive 30 rooms showcasing all manner of finds.

3. The Dendera Light
While we believe the light bulb is a relatively modern invention, some commentators would dispute this. In fact they’d go so far as to say the Ancient Egyptians had access to a power source that gave them things like electric light way before it was officially invented!

2.Exploding Pyramid
So I just mentioned a possible power supply in ancient Egypt. But what if I told you about
another theory on this subject that takes place on a MUCH bigger scale? It all revolves around that classic image we associate with the time… a pyramid.

1. The Building of the Pyramids
I know, we’ve talked a lot about pyramids but this is a video about Ancient Egypt! What did you expect? After many, many years, the question still is, how did the pyramids get built in the first place? The construction of these mighty structures is a matter of ongoing debate between pros and amateurs alike.

10. Bakoni, South Africa
In South Africa, on the hills around Machadodorp to the southeast of the country, are the remains of a series of structures built by the Bakoni people. The hilly countryside is covered with terraces made of stone walls and large complex of ruins.

9. The African City of Stone, Zimbabwe
The Country of Zimbabwe actually took its name, in 1980, from this archaeological site…. The ancient city of Great Zimbabwe. This city of stone was the center of the region between the 10th and 15th centuries and covered an area of around 1779 acres. Now, the structures that remain include a number of stone enclosures, some of which are as tall as 36 feet (11 m).

8. Gedi, Kenya
First found in 1884…. The Gedi ruins, in the Arabuko Sokoke Forest in Kilifi, Kenya, are all that remains of an ancient town- one that continues to be a mystery to archaeologists. There are no written records of Gedi, but the structures and artifacts that have been found there show evidence of a once thriving town that was both advanced and affluent before its demise at some point in the 17th century.

7. The Lalibela Churches, Ethiopia
In the center of Ethiopia, about 400 miles from the capital city Addis Ababa, there’s a mountainous region that was once a site of religious significance. Here, 11 monolithic churches were carved into the rock, thought to have been built by King Lalibela in an attempt to build a ‘New Jerusalem’ in the 12th century after Muslim conquests prevented Christians from being able to travel to their holy city.

6. The Stone Circles of Senegambia
The stone circles of Senegambia are a series of megalithic structures that cover an area 62 miles wide along a 200 mile stretch of the river Gambia. It’s not certain when the monuments were built, with estimates ranging between 2300 and 400 years ago. Along with the stonework, pottery, graves, and pieces of metal have also been found… showing signs of a fairly advanced society.

5. A Lost Tswana City, South Africa
The Difaqane civil wars in the 1820’s led to the collapse of the majority of Tswana city-states, that once stood strong along the northern parts of South Africa. Many of them were never even documented before being abandoned, and are only now being re-discovered.

4. The Ledi Jaw, Ethiopia
As the continent where the human species developed, there are still a lot of questions about our ancestral lineage- some that have been answered recently by the discovery of the Ledi Jaw. There’s a big gap in our knowledge about how our own Homo genus evolved.

3. Meroë, Sudan
Egypt is, of course, well known for its pyramids… but it’s not the only country in Africa where they were built. In the desert to the east of Sudan, along the river Nile, there’s a series of almost 200 ancient pyramids, with most of them serving as tombs for the leaders of the Meroitic Kingdom.

2. Laas Geel, Somalia
Laas Geel, which means ‘source of water for camels’, is a series of rock shelters and caves that lie about 34 miles northeast of the capital city of Somaliland, Hargeisa. The site is now dry, but it's near the confluence of two former rivers, which would explain why it was once known as a water source and a place with extensive evidence of human activity.

1. Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
In northern Tanzania, the Olduvai Gorge is where some of the most important discoveries have been made about our ancient ancestors. Archaeologists and Paleoanthropologists have worked in the area for more than a century, and have found stone tools and bones dating back millions of years. This means that we humans evolved in Africa.

8. Shwe Inn Thein Pagodas
The small village of Indein, located on the western bank of Inle River in the heart of the Myanmar jungles, contains hundreds of pagodas of varying shapes, sizes, and states of decay, as well as a central shrine. The easiest way to access the village is by taking a boat ride down the narrow, foliage-lined Inn Thein Creek, which can only be done during the winter or the rainy season, as it’s too dry in the summer.

7. Beng Mealea
The Cambodian capital of Siem Reap is home to the Angkor Wat temple complex, one of the largest religious monuments in the world. About 25 miles (40 km) east of the main temples is a separate site called Beng Mealea. To get there, you must make an hour-long journey out of Siem Reap down a bumpy, remote road.

6. Calakmul
The remains of the ancient Maya city of Calakmul are located in Campeche, Mexico, deep in the tropical forest of the Tierras Bajas, in the southern central portion of the Yucatán Peninsula. This UNESCO World Heritage site is far from most of the region’s modern towns, and getting there requires a long drive.

5. Wat Palad
Tucked into the heart of the jungle in Chiang Mai, Thailand is a temple known as Wat Palad, also called Wat Pha Lat and Wat Sakithaka. Located on Mount Doi Suthep a little outside of town, it’s largely unknown to tourists, despite being named by Thailandee.com as “probably the prettiest forest temple in Chiang Mai province.” To get there, visitors provide their taxi driver with the temple name and are dropped off on the side of the road.

4. Saleshwaram Cave Temple
The Saleshwaram Cave Temple, is located in the Nallamala Forest of India’s Andhra Pradesh district. Getting there isn’t easy, it’s a long climb and a walk so hopefully you are in good shape.
After a 6.2-mile (10 km) drive into the forest, visitors must cover an additional 1.9 miles (3 km) or more on foot.

3. Mount Koya
Mount Koya is a small, secluded mountain-top Buddhist community located in a wooded area of Japan’s Wakayama Prefecture, south of Kyoto and Osaka. Over 100 temples and monasteries are located within Mount Koya, which has been considered a spiritual retreat and one of Japan’s holiest destinations since it was established in the year 819 by a famous monk named Kukai, or Kobo Daishi.

2. La Ciudad Blanca
The Honduran jungle is one of the least-explored places on Earth, and is also the alleged site of a rumored White City, or “City of the Monkey God,” an ancient, abandoned metropolis that was once inhabited by an unknown civilization. In 2012, the suspected site was discovered among a valley located within the Mosquitia Mountains using LIDAR, or “light detection and ranging” technology, which has the capability of finding structures and mapping terrain through even the densest jungle foliage.

1. El Mirador
Deep in the sub-tropical forest of Guatemala’s Petén Department are the tallest known Maya pyramids and the largest Maya city ever discovered. The site is named El Mirador, or “Viewpoint,” after the pyramids, which exceed the height of the surrounding trees. The only options for reaching El Mirador are to take mule trails through the thick jungle or by helicopter.

8. THE LOST CITY OF GIANTS
According to ancient Ecuadorian legend, giants once roamed the remote Amazon rainforest and built huge megalithic cities. In 2012, a group of explorers teamed up with some locals to find one of these alleged sites known as the Lost City of Giants. The site contained various megalithic structures, including an irregularly-shaped 260-foot-tall by 260-foot-wide pyramid.

7. AN ANCIENT SHOPPING MALL
In 2013, archaeologists working in the ancient coastal Greek city of Argilos discovered a portico, or a cluster of shops, resembling an ancient strip mall. Around 2,500 years ago, crowds of shoppers regularly flooded the portico, also known as a stoa, which was located near the Aegean Sea. It’s one of the oldest buildings of its type that have been uncovered in northern Greece.

6. THE LOST ISLAND OF KANE
Ancient records frequently mention an island called Kane, or Canae, which contained a city by the same name. The historical Battle of Arginusae was fought on this island in 406 BC, resulting in an Athenian defeat over the Spartans in the Peloponnesian War. Although historians were pretty confident that Kane existed, they were unable to find it until 2015, when it was rediscovered in Turkish territory in the Aegean Sea.

5. THE GIANT SKULLS OF LOVELOCK CAVE
According to a legend among various Native American tribes, including the Paiute, a race of giants roamed the Nevada region thousands of years ago. The Paiute term for them is Si-Te-Cah. In the myths, the giants are described as tall, strong, and redhaired, and were known for being cruel, barbaric, and cannibalistic. They came from a distant island and crossed the ocean on rafts made out of tule plants, or so the story goes.

4. SAI ISLAND TOMBS
During the 1970’s, excavations on the northern Sudanese island of Sai led to the discovery of 24 Ancient Egyptian tombs. Archaeologists predicted that they’d find more graves on Sai, since it was one of the biggest islands in the Nile Valley and once contained an Egyptian settlement and a gold mine, so they kept digging.

3. Chichén Itzá
This four-square-mile (10 sq. km.) complex of ancient Maya ruins is located on the eastern side of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Throughout Chichén Itzá’s 1,000-year history, the pre-Hispanic city and sacred site became one of the region’s major Mayan centers. Various manuscripts have dated the settlement’s beginnings to somewhere between 415 and 455 AD.

2. CLIFF PALACE
This 150-room cliff dwelling was built around 900 years ago by a Native American pueblo tribe called the Anasazi. It’s located within the Four Corners region of Colorado, in Mesa Verde National Park. Some archaeologists believe that Cliff Palace was a sort of social center for the Anasazi, but it was most likely an apartment building. It contains 23 sunken ceremonial areas known as kivas and likely housed about 100 people.

1. THE UNFINISHED OBELISK
In the northern region of the stone quarries of Ancient Egypt in Aswan, about 500 miles north of Cairo, you’ll find the largest-ever ancient obelisk, known simply-and appropriately- as the Unfinished Obelisk. An obelisk is a four-sided, tapered monument that was typically placed at the entrance of a temple. These structures are considered trademarks of Ancient Egyptian innovativeness and engineering, and several civilizations, including the Romans, admired them so much, they built their own.

9. Skeleton in the Driveway
A man named Bertie Currie was doing some work on his land where he owned a bar in Northern Ireland. He was trying to make a driveway, but instead found himself looking at some human bones. He called the police, and they were able to determine that luckily, he wasn't sitting on a murder scene because the bones were much older.

8. Pictish Anvil
The Pictish people were a “lost people” that we know very little about. They were called the Picti, or Painted people by the Romans and they were a confederation of tribes located in Northern Scotland.
In 2016, archaeologists found an unusual artifact on the island of Rousay: an anvil that is believed to be 1,500 years old.

7. Otzi The Iceman
In 1991, two German hikers were climbing through the Alps when they came across a frozen body. At first, they thought it was the body of a hiker, like them, who had gotten trapped in the snow and so they called the police. It turns out the body was over 5,000 years old. This makes him older than the pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge! Nicknamed Otzi, the mummy of this ancient man is actually Europe’s oldest naturally formed mummy (as he was not embalmed by human hands).

6. Mega Stonehenge
The mystery of Stonehenge (both in terms of construction and its true purpose) is something that has puzzled scientists, researchers, archaeologists, and people in general, for centuries. But what some don't realize, is that just two miles away from Stonehenge is another structure that is even bigger, and even more puzzling in some ways. Its name...is Mega Stonehenge, or Superhenge, whichever you prefer!

5. Horses and Chariot
There are a lot of ancient weapons and vehicles that have been found during archaeological digs. But in Bulgaria, they found something they didn't expect, an extremely well-preserved carriage and its two horses. But the strangest thing was that they were found buried in an upright position. Pillows of some kind were even placed under the horses heads to keep them propped up.

4. Prehistoric Cult Complex
Cults may be something you would associate with the modern world, but they have been around for awhile!, At least as far as the Stone Age! This came via a discovery in Bulgaria, where a team of archaeologists found a prehistoric complex on the island in Durankulak Lake. The complex or city was completely made out of stone, and one of the buildings dated back to 5500 BC, which would make it the oldest prehistoric stone building in Europe!!

3. Britain's "Pompeii"
During an archaeological dig in Cambridgeshire in Great Britain, a rather large wheel was found. It was traced back to the Bronze Age, which was impressive given the size of the wheel and the fact that it was made entirely out of planks made of oak.

2. Gobekli Tepe
Gobekli Tepe is an archaeological site in Turkey that has changed the way we see the rise of civilizations. While the debate about Turkey being in Europe or not is still going on, as an archaeological site, many of the archaeologists are from Germany, Belgium, and the countless universities and the significance of this place applies to everyone.

1. Knossos Was Big!!
At one time, Knossos on the Greek island of Crete, was an important part of the Greek economic structure, and during the Bronze Age, it was a huge trading center. You remember Knossos and the legendary King Minos. And, of course it was also home to the legendary labyrinth that spawned the legend of the Minotaur.
