Accidental Discoveries You've Probably Never Heard Of 

What we are all curious about… what happens when the rock is plugged in?

Anybody who has ever owned reptiles, knows damn well that rock is a heating rock for pet reptiles. That's where the power cord connects

22:25 How can anyone say it's the "last underground city in the world"?!? We have no idea what's under our feet!!

not so fun fact, the first matches used white phosphorus which is toxic and lead to many people developing phossy jaw. Diamond match company found that they could make matches with red phosphorus, which isn't toxic, thus making matches "non-poisonous" and eliminating phossy jaw. I have a box of matches here that still bear the label 'Non Poisonous" on them.

The hidden city discovery is incredible

Another interesting fact about quinine, the reason you can still find tonic with quinine today is because that is typically how it was ingested as a medicine. Along with a bit of gin. Hence, the "gin and tonic." Today it's used for the flavor, not for its anti-malarial properties. Although it would still certainly be effective.

I agree. BE AMAZED is a great RU-vidr.

Gotta love scientific breakthroughs in the late 19th/early 20th century. “I don’t know what it does, or WHY, but it does SOMETHING!” As a “scientist”, I can relate to this!

When i was using a shovel to dig a hole on the beach, i found a shoebox with some of the oldest legos ever made

I would have sold that rock so fast, Ancient artifact or not. 500k is life changing.

I hope that 13 year old boy who discovered that treasure or whatever was given some sort of payment. Anybody could have discovered that and kept it for themselves to maybe sell at some point. This boy clearly is a very honest boy. What an amazing discovery for a child to find.

That lost city entrance he found isn't just free real estate, its a free emergency bunker. -Tucker

I once found a fiver amongst the sweets below the checkout counter. I was 9. It was the best day ever.

That ultraviolet lighting on animals could be as an added identification for animals who have low light ability to see... In other words, that night vision of theirs is not limited to being able to see in lower lights

The World Trade Center sloop isn't the first ship to be discovered during excavations in America. Up until the advent of metal-hulled ships, it was common practice to drag decommissioned ships into landfills. Similar finds have been discovered in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Maine.

Does anybody else want to know what would happen if they plugged the rock in?

Ships found under buildings, such as the one found under New Yorks' World Trade Center, were purposely placed there to have some what of a foundation in which to build. Similar artifacts can be found in San Francisco, CA.

I really love Be Amazed He's posting facts for us for years

That rock at the beginning. I would try to plug it in to see what happens 😂 What i really think it is. it's probably an electrical plug that has been in a mineral ritch water. And the. "Stone" just minerals that has been layered on by time.

I'm wondering if the biofluorescence in some mammals is actually an adaptation that protects them from harmful UV rays.

Imagine the bragging rights the guy with the underground city had

Seriously dude. Have you ever heard of Penicillin? Accidentally discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming. That seems pretty important. BTW, Turkey has loads of underground cities, including in Urgup, Cappadocia. An awesome place to visit.

Soooooo... Perry the Platypus being green/teal was a prediction of the glowing mammals discovery! 😂

I once made a interesting discouvery my grandfather often used a disformed piece of metal to flaten his scythe with a hammer, It was very heavy and in the garage under a younger part of the roof he told me that it was there since he was a child... It turned out to be a White Phosphor bomb the US dropped over his home in WWII

I was amazed by all of the findings. Love your videos + humour! Cheers

I love the underground cities. That takes bunkers to a whole new level...pun intended.

Hi I watched your videos and it’s awesome and fun to learn about something new. Also, I love to discuss about stuff and discover too.

Last I read...humans are also slightly bioluminecent aswell.....and someone even built a machine to detect animal and plant auras too!

You called one of those underground cities in Turkey "the last". I think you're overlooking Coober Pedy in Australia. That city was necessitated by the extreme heat, and it thrives today.

There couldn't have been tobacco pipes in that 3,000 yr old underground city , tobacco comes from the America's , those had to be opium or cannabis pipes because that's the side of the planet those plants are from.

I accidentally discovered that the RU-vid trend was broken

I hate it when I accidentally remove my dog's pancreas.

Awesome content! I'm glad I get to know about these shocking facts, thank you.

That first one is not real. The plug can't be made from non-identifiable metal. No matter what kind of material, it will always be made of elements from the periodic table, so you will always be able to identify it.

Not even a minute in and we are talking about fricking John Williams?!?😂

2:31 it might have ben this: a traveler lost his potential charger, and because of nature, it might have molded with the rock

It could have been calcified or he just managed to get it in That's the older style of UK socket. Its still used in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and some other nations. Also can sometimes be used as a lamp socket in the UK. The UK socket has allways been what I think to be the safest socket type in the world due to the top tip that is earth/ground being longer than the bottom pos/neg and the wall and extentions sockets have flaps that only open when the earth is in. Plus it had a fuse in the socket and on the wall it had an off switch. The US type of socket is very flimsy and you can just pull it out, plus an idiot could but a penny between the contacts. The cowdies of the UK socket is that it can be used as an are access denial weapon as it allways lands contacts up and if you think stepping on a lego is bad..... Plus it's big and we can't have those little flip recharge things built in.

That "rock" was probably a part of a security grid, most likely a pressure sensor.

The color white also glows under ultraviolet flashlights, but it looks different. It makes spotting white specs as small as a piece of fuzz easier.

I'm Amazed no one in comments replied about your pun, him being shocked by finding an electric rock. 😅😂🤣

Ahh yes this rock is made of rock

Not going to lie, the LAST TWO! I was BORN and RAISED in TURKEY, BURSA (pretty far to both Uluburun, Antalya and Nevşehir but STILL!) but EVEN I DIDN'T KNOW about those beautiful and astonishing finds in my country! Crazy, right? No wonder if a person from outside wouldn't know about Uluburun or Nevşehir but a CITIZEN of Turkey who doesn't know about these? I feel a bit ashamed to be honest! I MUST TRAVEL MY OWN COUNTRY *MORE* ! -- Hey, I just realized that I've never went to Uluburun or Nevşehir before... 😂😄

That first rock with metal still has me pondering

But, the real question is...... How did the locals understand the underground water levels well enough to keep the water out? We know you cannot in modern days see water just before or after 5 storeys down

As someone who has Type 3c Diabetes the insulin discovery is life saving ❤ but that poor dog 🙁 Absolutely loved this video, so much to take in! Loved how matches were discovered how we recognise them still today and also loved the underground cities 😮 I'll be having a search for more videos about those, I didn't know of the last one 😊 Absolutely fascinating as always, and bloody loved hearing you say gobsmacked 😂😂😂❤

Dan Povenmire and Swampy Marsh unwittingly predicted the color of the platypus’ biofluorescence when they created Perry the Platypus for _Phineas and Ferb,_ which first aired in 2007.

What an absolutely amazing coincidence! An electrical engineer finding a rock with an electrical device imbeded in it. Some cynical people might think something is a bit sus but I can't imagine why.

Anyone else find it odd that an ELECTRICAL ENGINEER “found” the plug in rock

He doesn't wanna sell cause he don't want to be exposed

I get that RU-vid video makers cant find new stuff all the time but i have seen that last one at least 3 times on this channel. I will still give a 👍.

Walker didn't patent his friction matches because there were other, much more dangerous chemical means of making fire in common use at the time. Walker allegedly didn't patent them because he wanted a safe alternative to be quickly adopted for the good of humanity.

God loves you, best of health and strength to everyone

2:23 it’s just a ancient vibrator

The Turkish are really good at accidentally discovering historical artefacts that give lots of insight into our past.

You know this channel never ceases to amaze me

Your videos makes me laugh so loud that's Why I love watching your videos because it's make me feel better and think not of my sorrows again, thanks alot I really appreciate your efforts and I love your videos❤ ❤❤❤❤

there is no wikipedia article on engimalith. so I am going to call bs on this

Anyone else wondering if someone at least tried to plug in that rock thingy that sharted the video? LOLOL

So wait… scientists proved that platypi can glow bluish-green right? I’ve only seen one other platypus like that… his name was Perry. Perry the Platypus… the writers of Phineas and Ferb knew something we, or I, didn’t.

Love your vids with no actual vids. Keeps me in utter shock. Keep up the good vids😮

We appreciate you “Be Amazed”…..also, I enjoyed the underground cities most. They will come in to being useful again with the coming heat of Climate Change…..Lucy people in Turkey.

An electrical engineer found a rock with an electrical outlet plug in it. Ironic? I think not

Back in 1999 when my daughter was 4, we would take daily walks and there was a pile of dog poo that I told who to walk around and not through. After a few months she kicked it one time and it flipped over. Turned out it was a Geode, a very beautiful one. It was in half and had purple and pink crystals in it.

OK this is like a dream of coming here super early but come here too get here here in a minute ticket🎫 edit how did I only get one like??😢

I really hope the sponge diving kid that made the discovery got handsomely rewarded for that.

I thought that the cowerpage was a cabbage but is was not😂

BE AMAZED you are the best

The insulin was originally used for type 1 diabetes (the pancreas cannot produce insulin) but now it has been missused for type 2 diabetes that's cause by over consumption of sugar.

8:23 there would be no pun if the word ,,yard,, wouldn't have existed.

Be amazed is my favorite RU-vidr he is so smart and funny at times I want to be like him

Man I do one speech work at school every 2-3 months and you do this everyday and big researches with that

There's no such thing as an unidentifiable metal.

DON'T HURT THE DOGS ANYMORE

Thanks for another addition

I'm not gonna lie but @be amazed is addictive and it always keep me amazed if the channel taken down I'd freak out😅

I know it sounds like a joke but: I was born 3 years to the day of September 11th. It's my actual birthday and people never really take me seriously when I say that.

Be amazed I noticed for me he’s the best informational RU-vidr keep it up

Lighters don't work in cold. Trying to light a candle for heat in winter stuck-in-snow car proved this one to me. Always carry a little box of matches in your car. One candle can raise car interior temp by 10 degrees.

Umm, slight problem with the "Slinky" segment. To be used as a platform for use in controlling sea motion, the "springs" would have had to be compressible to absorb the up and down motion put on them. Slinkys aren't compressible: they're already compressed when at rest. They are only extendable and their motion is the "spring" trying to compress back into it's normal state. I'd rate that particular story as a myth. The more likely one is that they were discovered while handling uncut surplus piston rings after WW2. Who knows?

The slinky dude - in the English I learnt in 1970s/80s New Zealand, he didn’t “slinked away”, (ugh to our ears!), but, “he slunk away”… very interesting stories!

FYI: Dan Povenmire is positively tickled that the unintentionally colored Perry the Platypus correctly more than a decade before their bioluminescent was discovered 😅😅😅

Oops here I use corn flakes to make desserts who knew they were supposed to be a healthy breakfast, bet those Kelloggs brothers roll in they Graves everytime someone making desserts with them.

If the rock with the electrical plug is that old, what is the metal made of??? As its not rusted

Counting tree rings tells you how old the tree was when it died. That's it.

I actually live in a city near battle creek, and have gotten in a tour of the Kellogg building

Love your video Be Amazed

Can't believe my city was featured in a video (Pombal). Thank you so much :D

Amazing beautiful 🥰❤️💞💕

Platypus are semi aquatic and spend about 10hrs a day feeding in Rivers and the rest of their time on land in their burrows or catching some sunshine, I’m nearly 60 and have only ever seen two in a river I was swimming in that was very clear, when I was a teenager as they’re very shy and will avoid people. It was one of the coolest experiences, also I’m a city boy, so there wasn’t much chance for me to see any , except on our 3 weeks camping from Dec 26th (Boxing Day) and in our Summer, by a beautiful river in the mountains.

Fun fact! Lighters are actually invented before matches! 😁👍💯

Thank you I have learned more from you than my own teacher

That story about the slinky I have heard from other sources that it was founded and invented a totally different way. Lathe operators and those who drill through metal know what I talking about. Apparently ( I forget the name ) invented it because they were inspired by the spiral thing of the remain of what comes out when drilling holes in metal or when shaving off metal when using a lathe. That curly metal remain rubbish was the inspiration for the slinky, I remember hearing or reading or watching a story about that about 20 or 30 years ago.

Bluish-green platypus? >Platypus puts on hat. Perry the Platypus!

The rock with the plug looks like a power bank

I agree, be amazed is awesome, and I don’t know what to think of that rock

18:24 - You've got the location wrong on the map for the shipwreck. The map point that you have marked is around Inceburun, near Sinop, at the northernmost point of the Anatolian Peninsula. The shipwreck was found 500 miles south of there, near Kash, and the second-most-southern point on the Anatolian Peninsula. The location marked in the video for the shipwreck would have made zero sense for a voyage from Cyprus or Syria to Greece.

My guess is the rock with the plug is it's just somebody found a rock with a hole and they put a plug in it and super glued it in or something. Most likely because the person was drunk.

Hate to harsh, but the enigmalith not confirmed to exist, John J Williams isn’t officially a name on record to the rock beyond Reddit lore, and lastly, is a an older Greek pin plug. Still fun to think about.

Be amazed is amazing them for your vids bless you 😎

What about microwaves? That was an accidental discovery by ww2 sailors when thier caramel peanut bars were melting in thier pockets working near the radar dish
