9. Giant Kites
In Central Asia, you will probably find one of the oldest animal traps in human history. Known as desert kites, they are found in extremely remote areas and very few people have ever seen them. Thanks to aerial photography and satellite data, nearly 5,000 desert kites and arrow formations have been found in many countries.

8. Skystone
Skystone is a very enigmatic and mysterious blue rock. There are different reports regarding how it was discovered, but it is believed to be made mostly out of oxygen and was spotted in a gold pit in Sierra Leone in the early 1990’s.

7. Santorini and Atlantis
While the existence of Atlantis is mostly believed to be a myth, some scholars and scientists of the past have claimed that Santorini is a good candidate for the lost city of Atlantis. According to Plato's account, the advanced civilization was punished by the gods as the people became arrogant and greedy.

6. Plague pit
In 2017, archaeologists discovered what has come to be known as the ‘Plague pit’, which is a mass grave meant exclusively to bury victims of the Black Death. The Black Death was the most notorious and deadliest plague that’s ever beset humanity, leading to an estimated 75 million deaths – on low estimates. Some studies put the number as high as 200 million.

5. Shroud of Turin
The Shroud of Turin has baffled archeologists and scientists alike for years. The shroud is a piece of linen cloth that appears to depict the image of a man in the negative, with the dark coloring appearing against the pale linen background. To many it is a sacred relic that served as the burial shroud of Jesus Christ, used to wrap him after he was taken down from the cross.

4. Codex Gigas
The Codex Gigas (which means ‘giant book’) is a gigantic manuscript from medieval times which weighs around 165 pounds (74 kg)! It is actually the largest medieval manuscript in the world, believed to have been made by just one monk working alone. The 620 pages are almost 3 feet (91 cm) in size!

3. Maine Penny
In 1957, a couple of amateur archaeologists turned history upside-down when they came upon a truly strange artifact. They were hanging out on a friend’s property in Maine exploring the coastline, they came across a bunch of stone chips, knives, and fire pits. Over the years, they kept going back to explore even more when the weather was good and it became known as the Goddard site.

2. Hoard in Kazakhstan
The Tarbagatai mountains are a remote and desolate place, but not too far for archaeologists! They recently uncovered a treasure trove of gold artifacts numbering in the thousands!! It is believed to belong to royal members of the Saka society, Eurasian nomads that were believed to be Scythians.

1. Oldest Handwritten Document
The written word hasn’t been around for forever, so when archaeologists discover old tablets with inscribed text, they’re right to get giddy. That’s why when archaeologists uncovered a set of tablets in London with text on them, they were curious to see where they came from.
