9. Jordan Lead Codices
It is possible that a discovery has been found that may rival that of the dead sea scrolls. 70 books or codices reportedly made of impure lead pages, were allegedly found in a cave less than 100 miles where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered. This incredible collection is now in the hands of a Bedouin farmer and trucker named Hassan Saeda who says that he inherited the treasure from his great-grandfather.

8. TOMB OF THE SILVER HANDS
In the 18th century, archaeologists found numerous fascinating discoveries in and around the ancient tombs of Vulci in Italy, which are located roughly 75 miles (121 km) northwest of Rome. Included among the discoveries are some Etruscan burials dating back between the seventh and fourth centuries B.C.

7. THE GIANTS’ GRAVES
Throughout modern-day Sardinia are a series of megalithic tombs known as the Giants’ Graves or Giants’ Tombs. Built by the Bronze Age Nuragic civilization, they date back to around 1800 B.C. There are around 800 altogether, and they were constructed in various styles, including in the shape of a bull’s head and featuring depictions of male sex organs.

6. MEDIEVAL HOARD
Recently an archaeologist trying to learn more about a large coin hoard discovered in Poland in 1935, discovered another one!! Adam Kędzierski was interviewing locals to try to document the location of the original hoard for a book. He was chatting with the local priest and a farmer who told him a local rumor about another treasure collection being buried somewhere nearby.

5. Ancient Goddess Statue
While plowing a field on his family farm in Mexico City with plans to plant watermelons, a man named Cesar Cabrera noticed a mysterious limestone object poking up through the soil. With the help of some friends, he eventually unearthed the item, which turned out to be a life-sized statue of a woman, which may represent the Huastec goddess of lust.

4. ROYAL DYE
Israeli archaeologists recently made a groundbreaking discovery at a site called Slaves’ Hill in Timna, roughly 137 miles (220 km) south of Jerusalem -- a cloth fragment bearing evidence of a purple dye possibly dating back to the reign of the Biblical King David. The pigment is reportedly more valuable than gold, and the discovery marks the first time the color has been found on textile from that particular period in the region.

3. Early Mosque
The remnants of an early mosque were just discovered in Israel, according to archaeologists from the University of Jerusalem, who say that it may date back to the earliest decades of Islam. It was found in the northern city of Tiberias, just south of the Sea of Galilee, the Associated Press reported.

2. Rare French Portrait
Last year, an English auction house sold a miniature portrait that it mistakenly thought was of Sir Walter Raleigh, the English adventurer and explorer. But the observant art dealer who purchased it last year, Philip Mould, realized that this assessment was wrong, and that the portrait is actually a rare depiction of Henry III of France, a controversial French king who was known for cross-dressing.

1. Pre-Columbian Settlements
Until relatively recently, scientists mistakenly believed that the Amazon rainforest was a paradise that remained mostly untouched by humans. But archaeologists are increasingly disproving this widespread misconception, including with the 2018 discovery of 81 pre-Columbian settlements in the Amazon’s Tapajós Basin, a region previously thought to be historically largely uninhabited.
