There was a discovery of skulls in the town of Onavas in the state of Sonora México what made them inusual is were similar as the Inca culture (oval shape) 😮 which shows other cultures practiced besides mayan and Inca who practiced skulls modifications. It says that Itsy is cursed because the majority of the investigators died in mysterious ways 😮
the Discovery of the oldest Homo sapiens skull remains from Morocco dated to 315.000 years ago push back our species' origins by 100.000 years and suggest we didn't evolve only in east africa
That's a real struggle, especially if you've got little kids. My son used to hide the remote when he was little and now my niece, who's 2, does it 🤣🤣🤣 it's like an Easter egg hunt
23:53 King Tut's gold mask was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever laid eyes on! It came to the field museum in Chicago when I was a little girl and our school went there as a field trip it was on 55 years old now and I can still close my eyes and see it
@@geekdivaherself I wish you could have seen it it really was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and then it lost all its shine when I saw my very first baby ☺️
The Easter Island stone heads still hold many yet-to-unlock mysteries, making the Rapa Nui emoji (🗿) something to be proud of. I still don’t understand its official meaning, but I’m happy both exist.
Regarding the Trojan horse, there was a type of Greek war ship used at the time referred to as a horse and had a wooden horse head on the front. The Trojan horse could've been a war ship brought on land, placed on wheels that the soldiers his inside of
@@eVilutio oh I dont recall what it called. I just remember watching a show about it a number of years ago. It was hidden way way up a deep gorge river, top of a mountain, all covered in jungle and trees and vines and everything. Nobody even knew it was there. Then they dug it up and uncovered it. Many different buildings. I don't recall what country it was in.
I was surprised not so see Machu Picchu in that list. Also, although I kind of agree with The Rosetta Stone being number 1, I think the top five should be: 1. The Rosetta Stone 2. King Tutankhamun’s Tomb 3. The Terracotta Army 4. Pompeii / Herculaneum 5. Machu Picchu
I think we are all going to have different favorites depending on our varied interests but I bet one of them will be mentioned by most....the Rosetta Stone! We have to understand each other before we can share ideas and problem solving.
As an Orthodox Jew, I was very excited to see the Dead Sea Scrolls so high on the list. Although they are written in ancient Hebrew, I can still read and understand large parts of the scrolls. It's an amazing feeling. In Hebrew they are called: "מגילות ים המלח"/"Megilot yam h'amelah".
What a joy to listen to Rebecca's voice for 37+ minutes, plus her effort in correctly pronuncing the names like "Piedra del sol" as close as possible to the native language is commendable. Kudos for a top-notch video!
@@SunflowerHeliotrope my dodgy memory… but yes, what a stroke of absolute luck I loved how the Richard III society had been complaining that he’d been vilified and stories about his disability were Tudor propaganda - then the skeleton emerged with a severe scoliosis
I was fortunate enough to see the cave at Altamira before it was closed to the public. Also got to climb the Pyramid of Kukulkan (El Castillo) at Chichen Itza before that was stopped. (Not boasting -- just incredibly lucky.) As to the latte,r people fell down those horridly steep steps. When I asked if people fell, my Mayan guide said, "Oh yes. About one a month." When I asked if those people die, he said, "Yes, some of them." Yikes!
Wow, those are some incredible experiences! Seeing the cave at Altamira and climbing the Pyramid of Kukulkan must have been unforgettable. It's wild to think about how dangerous some of those ancient sites can be. Have you had any other once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences?
Klinefelter syndrome isn’t intersex either. These men have a penis and small testes. They are considered male and are often first diagnosed at ivf clinics with their wives… they are almost always infertile.
@@AwfulDog1it’s hard to deny intersex people exist. It has nothing to do with gender, aka the social assumptions and behaviours associated with sex; sex being what one is born with. People can be born with sex characteristics (genitalia, reproductive organs, hormones) of both sexes. 1.7% of the population is intersex. We can say whatever we like about recent developments relating to gender and how people choose to label themselves but sex is hard to dispute.
20:52 Too advanced = Aliens... This thinking is EXACTLY why ppl assume they were made by aliens... We NEED to do better...Instead of just saying they were built by aliens... Do you realize how irritating that is?
Klinefelter men are male, there is no way of knowing their sexual preference. It is just wrong to assume you do based on how they were buried. These men have a penis and small testes. They are scientifically male.
You have to remember that in those days many of these places had no expertise to excavate, restore anc care for these relics. That is why the English and French in particular became involved. Many things have been lost forever from local looting and incorrect excavation. It always irritates me when I see these uneducated comments based on a completely different time in history. The real question should be how many of these relics should be returned to the countries of their origin
Which monarchy are you talking about? There are several countries that have monarchies. And there are also places that have no monarchy but are in possession of artifacts that belong to another culture.
WatchMojo, I love your content. But there are so many white men who have been named in this episode as a result of their discoveries. But the same courtesy has not been extended to the person who discovered Mohenjodaro. The employee of the Archaeological Survey of India (then run by the British colonisers) was an Indian gentleman named RD Banerji. Just wanted to give him the credit he deserves.
I found my keychain pocket knife that is shaped like an old fashion flintlock pistol. It had been lost and forgotten for nearly 10 years. I couldn’t believe it when I found it. I had all but forgotten about it. Assumed it was lost to time.
I loved the Turkish city underground. With climate change ramping up, we might want to study that pretty carefully. Maybe make a copy -- just for research purposes, of course.
The Antikythera Mechanism calculates motions of celestial bodies based on a Geocentric system, with the Sun circling the Earth.. Aliens would not have been so patronizing as to create such a device reflecting such a mistake. Rather, they would have told the Greeks the truth, and built their device to reflect it.
WatchMojo call seriously need to do some freaking quality control Pompeii was a city not a village but right after you get a village to show video of it which is clearly showing a massive City I mean come on guys set like this is what makes you all look like a bunch of 4th graders
Yes, it’s a noble idea to return artifacts to their rightful place BUT not when those places are ill equipped to care for and safeguard them. It does no justice to allow priceless items to be vulnerable to modern day looters only to either be destroyed or to be sold to the highest private bidding, never to be seen in public again. Therefore, curated collections must remain in the possession of those able to protect them best until such time as it is safe to return them. For example, Egypt & Rome are extremely close to being able to safely have a significant portion of their antiquities back and every country in the world that is holding them now needs to start letting them go…..they don’t belong outside of their homeland and it upsets the balance the longer they are missing! The case is the same with the majority of the US’s Native American artifacts. They need to be returned to their rightful tribes. India, Cambodia, China and New Zealand are also in good positions to take back their items too. Peru, Hawaii, Indonesia, New Guinea, Aboriginal, etc. have a ways to go yet but are making great strides thanks to tourism dollars!!
Think about the Easter Island statues, this small island middle of nowhere. If you were a lost fishing party from another island, what would be the best way to get someone's attention if they come by in other ships? Much easier to see big statues! Kind of an SOS why doesn't that make common sense
Early Turkish civilisations? The Turks were nowhere near that area in the 8th-7th century BCE, when these caves were thought to have been first used by the Phrygians and Greeks. The Turks conquered Cappadocia in the 11th century AD, they are not the native population of those areas and, therefore, those caves tell us nothing about early Turkish civilisations. For that, you’d need to look at Central Asia. Good lord, if you touch upon history, try knowing what you’re talking about…
This AI written narration is ridiculous. It sounds like what a community college DEI sociologist with no knowledge of history or archaeology would say. Although it manages to work in the MOST important terms in today's weird world: Diversity, Cultural, Non-Binary...etc etc. What a load of garbage, Also Derinkuyu was not "ancient Turkish." It IS however, IN Turkey.
Its absurd. Archaeologists should start using a more sensible system that starts at least 20 or 30 37:01 thousand years ago so we don't have all this before after nonsense
