10: The Dropa Stones
The dropa stones are a real mystery. This peculiar story all started in China when a Chinese archaeologist found caves that were supposedly being used as makeshift graveyards for the remains of tiny beings that had large, oval-shaped heads. Along with the strange bodies, there were allegedly 716 stone discs found, each lined with bizarre spiral grooves.

9: The London Hammer
The London hammer wasn’t actually discovered in England, but that’s not even the strangest part. It was actually found in London, Texas, way back in 1936 by a man named Max Hahn and his wife as they were out walking. The hammer soon became known as the London artifact, as it was allegedly found encased in a piece of rock 400 million years old.

8: Bathtub of Czar Alexander I
The Babolovo Palace is an impressive and eye-opening historical location near the Russian city of St. Petersburg. The palace was built near the end of the 18th century during the reign of Catherine the Great. And while the palace itself is quite amazing, so are the artifacts that were discovered inside.

7: The Saqqara Bird
The Saqqara bird could be evidence that the ancient Egyptians knew how to fly. An archaeological expedition found an incredible bird-shaped object inside an Egyptian tomb that dates back all the way to 200 BC. There is no denying this artifact looks exactly like either a bird or an airplane. It's made out of sycamore maple wood and is currently exhibited in the Egyptian Museum of Cairo.

6: The Piri Reis Map
The Piri Reis map is one of the most confusing artifacts ever discovered. As reported by The Vintage News, a German theologian who was working in Istanbul back in 1929 at the Topkapi Palace Library found a curious parchment made from gazelle skin in a stack of discarded items while cataloging antiques.

5: The Great Wall of Texas
The great wall of Texas is a highly debated artifact. Sitting beneath the city of Rockwall is a row of hard mineral stones that look an awful lot like a wall. It has been the subject of debate for over 160 years, as specialists argue whether it's a rock wall built by an ancient civilization, something left behind by aliens, or a naturally occurring phenomenon.

4: Ancient Earthquake Detector
It's sometimes hard for us to believe that our ancient ancestors could develop complex technology. But they definitely could. A modern seismograph may be an extremely sensitive piece of equipment, recording the slightest movements beneath our feet, but that doesn't mean ancient humans were too stupid to make one out of the materials they had handy.

3: The Viking Sword
The Ulfberht Sword was the ultimate weapon of the Viking warrior. It was also 1,000 years ahead of its time. Roughly 170 of these swords have been found so far, all of them dating to between 800 and 1000 AD, but what makes these Viking weapons so interesting is that the technology required to have forged them came from the industrial revolution of the 1800s and 1900s.

2: The Klerksdorp Spheres
The Klerksdorp spheres are probably the most controversial artifacts on this list. They were found originally in the mines of South Africa several decades ago. According to researchers of prehistoric culture, the spheres are evidence that intelligent life did indeed exist on Earth long before we think it did.

1: Coso Artifact
Sometimes there's nothing you can do to dissuade the true believers. A perfect example is the Coso artifact. It was originally discovered in 1961 by three amateur rock hunters who were hunting for geodes in California.
