10. Hanging Coffins
All across central and southern China there are hanging coffins suspended on cliffs or placed in caves or crevices high up in the air. The mystery of the hanging coffins in China is believed to have been started by the Bo people and dates back to 3,000 years ago, although scholars aren’t quite clear why they did this, and most importantly, how they were able to place the coffins in such hard to reach places.

9. Underwater Buddha Statue
Renovation works often reveal long forgotten objects, but workers in the Jiangxi Province couldn’t have possibly expected to find something of such significance as they began construction of a hydropower gate on a reservoir. The work caused the water levels in the area to fall, which revealed a 600-year-old Buddha statue! Looking quite peaceful out over the water.

8. Ancient Murals
In 2013, archaeologists in Shuozhou city made a fascinating discovery… a tomb of a military commander and his wife, both of whom had died more than 1500 years ago. The treasures of the tomb and even the bodies themselves had been looted a long time ago, but a set of colorful murals remained remarkably intact. Covering about 860 square feet of plaster, they are of a man and a woman, who are thought to have been those who were buried in the tomb, in various poses.

7. Giant Cave Hall
In 2017, a team of researchers went to explore a sinkhole in China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and they couldn't believe what they found. Deep in the misty valleys in the ominous looking hole, is one of the most stunning cave halls in the world. To get there requires going down a rope at least 200 meters long (656 feet

6. An Extinct Ape in a Tomb
Tombs are very important historical sites that can tell us a lot about ancient people and how they lived. However, this one took everyone by surprise! One that was discovered in the Shaanxi province went further than that- because it contained the remains of an extinct species of ape.

5. The Truth Behind a Legend
There's an ancient Chinese legend that tells the story of a terrible flood along the Yellow River that, ultimately, led to the formation of the Xia dynasty just under 4000 years ago. According to the myth, a hero, named Yu, learned how to stop the approaching waters by dredging, which allowed him to establish the bronze age dynasty.

4. Huge Gold Find
It's hardly a secret that China is home to some of the richest mineral formations in the world but, in 2017, the country's second-largest gold mining company, the Shandong Gold Group, made an amazing announcement. They had found the largest gold deposit to have ever been discovered in the country.

3. Two New Dinosaurs
Covering such a large area, it’s perhaps no surprise that fossils are often discovered in China. In 2018, researchers announced the discovery of two new species of dinosaur, both of which were types of alvarezsaurus. These dinosaurs were theropods, which means they were meat eaters and were very similar to birds.

2. A Pyramid
When you think of pyramids, you will, of course, be reminded of those in Egypt, and maybe even Mexico…. But what about China? Researchers were excavating a site that was believed to be a part of the great wall, but they soon discovered something completely different. They began to uncover a 4300-year-old walled city, now referred to as Shimao, that is believed to be one of the largest of the ancient world- covering more than 400 hectares.

1. Blue Monster Tomb
In 2013 and 2014, researchers began to search inside a mysterious 1700 year tomb and were amazed at the intricate decorations that lay within. Located in the modern-day Xinzhou city, the tomb had been heavily looted, but some ornaments remained, along with some amazing murals.

10. Mount Roraima
This giant plateau soars up into the sky and is often surrounded by a sea of clouds. It has its own very unique ecosystem with many tall waterfalls and highly specialized plant and animal species such as pitcher plants and the Roraima bush toad. Located on the border of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil, 75% of the mountain is in Venezuelan territory.

9. Pripyat
Following the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl in 1986, thousands of people were evacuated from the neighboring city of Pripyat. Over 30 years later, most of the town is still there, frozen in time and left to decay.

8. McMurdo Dry Valleys
The McMurdo Dry Valleys are a row of snow-free valleys in Antarctica. What? No snow in Antarctica???
That’s right. The Dry Valleys have extremely low humidity levels and the mountains around the valley prevent any ice from flowing down around it from glaciers.

7. Abandoned Military Hospital
Beelitz-Heilstätten is a district in Beelitz, Germany that is made famous by a hospital complex that contains almost 60 buildings. At first, the complex was built to treat TB and then became a sanatorium . But at the beginning of the first war, it became a military hospital.

6. Travertine Pools of Pamukkale
Pamukkale means "cotton castle" in Turkish which makes sense, once you see the pools in this place! They are made up of hot springs and travertines which are terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water.

5. Richat Structure
The Richat Structure or the Eye of the Sahara is a mysterious round formation found in the Sahara near Mauritania.
It appears to be some sort of sci-fi experiment, but it is actually a deeply eroded, slightly elliptical dome that is 25 miles wide.

4. Shicheng, China
Shicheng City or China’s Atlantis or Lion City, is an underwater city in the Chinese province of Zhejiang. This city is strange for two reasons! It was forgotten and lost for thousands of years…and it has survived remarkably well underwater!

3. Fly Geyser
Likely the most beautiful geyser in the world, Fly Geyser can be found in Washoe County, Nevada. It is just 5 feet high, by 12 feet wide. So why is it is amazing or mysterious? Well look at it! It isn’t natural, but rather the result of a test site after a geothermal power company drilled into the rock.




2. The Maunsell Sea Forts
From afar, these guys look kind of like oil rigs or something, but they’re really just old sea forts known as the Maunsell Forts. These were built during WWII to help defend the UK. Each fort has built-in firearms and were originally used by both army and navy personnel, a rare occurrence.

1. Door to Hell
If the name isn’t enough to scare you, wait till you hear the story behind the Gates of Hell. Officially known as the Darvaza gas crater, the “door” is actually a natural gas field in Derweze, Turkmenistan. When seen up close, which you never ever really want to be, you will see fire, boiling mud, and orange flames in the hole.

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.

10. The Piri Reis Map
In 1929, a German theologian was cataloging items in the Topkapi Palace Library in Istanbul, and he came across a gazelle skin parchment with an unusual map drawn onto it. Dated back to 1513, it was drawn and signed by Turkish cartographer Hagji Ahmed Muhiddin Piri, an admiral in the Turkish Navy at the time and the map is now known as the Piri Reis map.

9. The Jehoash Inscription
In 2001, a group of Israeli archaeologists were shown a stone tablet, supposedly dating back to 1000 BC, with writing that describes repairs that were made to the temple of Solomon… the first evidence ever to have been found about the renowned building. It underwent a series of tests, including radiocarbon dating, before being declared as a genuine artifact.

8. Spanish Hill, Pennsylvania
Spanish Hill, in Pennsylvania, was first described by an explorer in 1795 who said it was ‘the shape of a sugar loaf, about 100 feet high, with a level top, on which are the remains of intrenchments'. Others saw the remains of walls, and further archaeological investigations have found potential evidence of a Native American society, including shell heaps, corn, flint chips, and various other implements.

7. How Alexander the Great Died
By 323 BC, Alexander the Great had secured an empire that stretched from the Balkans to modern day Pakistan, but his at the age of 32 that year has been a mystery ever since. He was on the verge of attacking another empire, when he became ill and, after 12 excruciating days, finally passed away.

6. Otzi
In 1991, the body of a 5,000-year-old mummy, now known as Otzi, was discovered by mountain climbers. The remains of the 45-year-old were remarkably well preserved, which has allowed researchers to examine in detail the causes of this. Despite this, there's a lot that remains unknown, and there's still great debate about how he met his end.

5. Tikal Temple 33
Tikal Temple 33 was a 108-foot-high Maya funerary pyramid that was found in the remains of the Maya city of Tikal, along with a number of other monuments. It was built in three different stages of construction in the year 457 when King Siyaj Chan K'awiil II's shrine was remodeled, and it's one of the most investigated structures of the city.

4. The Cyrus Cylinder
The Cyrus Cylinder is a clay cylinder which is inscribed in Akkadian cuneiform script. It was created in 539 BC on order of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the first Persian empire when he took control of Babylon.

3. The Sandia Cave
The Sandia Cave in Las Huertas Canyon, New Mexico, was once believed to be a place with vast evidence of the earliest inhabitants to live on the continent, but a set of events has led the archaeological community to question everything that they once thought to be true.

2. The Runamo Inscription
With ancient cultures having used symbols that we wouldn't necessarily recognize today, how would you know for sure whether something was actually written, or just occurred naturally? That's the question that's divided archaeologists in the case of the Runamo inscription, which is located near a church in Blekinge in southern Sweden.

1. The Talpiot Tomb
In 1980, a tomb was unearthed at a burial site in the Talpiot neighborhood of East Jerusalem, and inside there were 10 ossuaries… some of which bore inscriptions that have been translated as saying ‘Jesus son of Joseph’, ‘Mary’, and a few other names associated with the New Testament. These names led some researchers to believe that this was the burial place of the family of Jesus of Nazareth, while many others rejected the idea, saying that these names were very common at the time.

10. Finding Someone
Nowadays we think of DNA testing as an integral part of identifying, but the ability has only been around for just over 30 years. In the 80's the idea of genetic fingerprints was unheard of- that was until a case was solved by using this innovative technique- and it changed investigations forever!!

9. Mummy Identity
In 1940, an ancient skeleton, known as the “Spirit Cave Mummy” was found in a cave in the Great Basin Desert in Nevada. Those who unearthed it knew that this find was an important discovery, but it would be decades until scientific techniques were developed to find out more about it.

8. The Recipe for Milk
Milk is something we all take for granted- after all, it’s available in virtually every food or drink store in the world. Despite its prevalence, though, milk is actually a very complex liquid, and it was only recently that genetic sequencing was able to explain how it’s made.

7. Identifying Smugglers
The ivory trade is one of the biggest contributors to the decline in numbers of elephants around the world, and the high prices people are willing to pay for it means that, despite it being illegal, it's estimated that as many as 40,000 African elephants are killed each year solely for their tusks. With a population of only 400,000, the need for action is greater than ever.

6. Triple Hybrid Bird
In May of 2018, a Pennsylvania local spotted an unusual looking bird in his backyard. He took photos and videos of it, and then realized something strange- it looked like both a Golden-winged Warbler, and a Blue-winged Warbler, and was singing like a Chestnut-sided Warbler.

5. The Tigrina
The improvement in genetic profiling techniques, as well as the way that more animals are being tested than ever, means that scientists are quite often discovering new species, and learning far more about the ones we thought had already been identified.

4. Debunking Alien Theories
In 2003, in an old mining town in the Atacama desert, a small skeleton was found, wrapped in white cloth and tied with a violet ribbon. It was extremely unusual- it was about 6 inches tall, with the features of a 7-year-old child, but only had 10 pairs of ribs- as opposed to the 12 found on humans. Furthermore, the skull was elongated into a cone shape.

3. Panda Ancestor
In 2014, a team of paleontologists were searching a cave in China in search of remains of an ancient ape species. They returned that day with a collection of bones, none of which were from the ape, but what they did find was the lower jaw of an ancient panda that lived around 22,000 years ago.

2. Food Contents
When we buy food at a store, we check the labeling to see what's in it and take that as the truth. The thing is, due to the way that meat is processed, there's a good chance that what you think you're eating may not be the full story. In 2017, some pretty startling results were released by the Food Standards Agency in the UK, which will make you re-think the way you approach your food in the future.

1. Parents of Two Species
There have been a number of different human species, most of whom were thought to keep to themselves and only breed within the same group. But recent evidence has shown that things weren’t quite that contained, and that inter-breeding was quite common.

10. Cave of the Jaguar God
The Maya city of Chichén Itzá is one of the most renowned ancient sites in Mexico, but even though it’s been known about and explored for a long time, it continues to provide surprises. In 2018, researchers were trying to look for a sacred well beneath the city, but instead found a series of caves, known as Balamku, which contained more than 150 ritual objects that had laid untouched for more than 1000 years.

9. The Longest Salt Cave
Researchers have recently announced the discovery of the longest known salt cave in the world… one that starts at the southern tip of the dead sea in Israel, and extends more than 6 miles in length. Malham cave is about 2 miles longer than the previous record holder and, like other salt caves, is full of rare and unusual features.

8. An Ancient Casino
For as long as humans have lived in communities, they’ve played games with one another- often applying stakes to the outcome. A discovery in Utah in 2015 shows that even as far as 800 years ago, gambling was a popular pastime. Probably even much further back than that.

7. Mysterious Fish
The dark, humid, and gaseous environments inside caves allow for the evolution of unusual creatures unlike anywhere else, and they can be great places to discover new species. An expedition into a remote cave in northern Vietnam found one of the weirdest ever- a previously unknown type of fish.

6. Ice Age Remains
So much can be learned about earth’s history by studying the fossil record, but bones don’t preserve very well in tropical environments, which has left a number of gaps in what we know. One area, in particular, that’s devoid of data is Central America during the late Pleistocene period, but a recent discovery has changed all of that.

5. Rhino Cave
The Tsodilo Hills, located in Botswana, Africa are a UNESCO world heritage site that’s home to more than 4,500 rock paintings. People have lived in the region for thousands of years, and new artworks are continually being found across the Female Hill, the Child Hill, and the Male Hill.

4. New Human Species
In early 2019 it was announced that the remains of a previously unknown species of human were found in a cave in the Philippines. Tests on the bones have shown that they lived in southeast Asia around 50,000 years ago, were four feet tall, had curved fingers and toes, and were able to climb up trees and walk on two feet.

3. The Lupercale
According to legend, Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus- twin brothers who had been raised by wolves. The myth also says that there was a cave, known as the Lupercale, where a female wolf nursed them, and now researchers claim to have found its location.

2. The World’s First Winery
After a long day, there's nothing quite like being able to sit back and relax with a glass of wine, but this is hardly a newfound enjoyment… as researchers investigating a cave in Armenia found the world's oldest known winemaking equipment, which was more than 5,500 years old!

1. The Missing Fleet of Egypt
So much has been discovered of the ancient Egyptian empire, but for a long time, there was a mystery that divided historians. Carved into the walls of a temple at Deir el-Bahri were images of a fleet of cargo ships returning from the land of Punt. Some believed this mystical place was inland, or a fictitious place, while others truly thought they were a more accurate depiction of a grand sea voyage that took place.
