“Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Or so the expression goes. It is a testament attesting to the need fortime to create great things. Another expression, “Good things come to those who wait” is alsoanother way to express the same thing. Sometimes all you need to achieve greatness is a little bit oftime. Centuries even… Whether it’s Egyptians mastering pyramids, the creation of the first automaticdoor, or programmable robots that play music- here are the 15 Most Mysterious AncientTechnologies in The World
Hi everybody! From a long lost water cult to temples that have been hidden under river sand for years, here are 9 incredible recent archaeological discoveries.
9. Oldest Known Work Of Art
If you thought the Lascaux cave paintings were the oldest works of art in the world, like most of us, then surprise!! Scientists recently discovered a cave painting in Indonesia that’s been dated back to approximately 44,000 years ago, which makes it the oldest known work of art on the planet.
7. Temple From A ‘Water Cult’
Researchers recently uncovered the remains of a temple from 3000 years ago in Peru which they think was used by a prehistoric Cult of Water for fertility ceremonies. This would place its construction square in the middle of the stone age. But interestingly, this discovery marks the first stone age temple discovery in the region; it was located in the Huaca El Toro archaeological site in Oyotùn, Peru, nestled in between two rivers which are inside of the Zaña Valley, and it’s the only one of its kind in the area.
2. Megalithic Monument
When you hear about the Neolithic age, you probably think about the megalithic structures of Europe, which are pretty popular. But structures in Middle Eastern countries from the same period are less well known, even though they are equally impressive. In 2020, archaeologists added yet another one of these to the list; deep inside Dûmat al-Jandal, an ancient oasis which contains a number of ruins in Saudi Arabia, they discovered a large triangular platform in the middle of nowhere.
1. Temple of Nageswara Swamy
Recently, villagers in a tiny Indian village unearthed a remarkable discovery; the remains of a well-preserved temple that had been lost to time since the 1850s. It was found in Perumallapadu, which is a village in the Nellore district of India. In about 1850 AD, the village was rendered unlivable, because the nearby Penna River was rising and kept flooding the village. When everyone moved away, the sand dunes engulfed the temple whole.
10. Shugborough Inscription
The mysterious 10-letter sequence known as the Shugborough inscription can be found on the 18th-century “Shepherd’s Monument” on the grounds of Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire, England. You can see it just below an engraving of “Arcadian Shepherds” by Nicolas Poussin.
9. Whale Cemetery In The Desert
Dozens of fossilized marine animal skeletons, including baleen whales and extinct dolphins and aquatic sloths, were discovered beside the Pan-American highway in northern Chile’s Atacama Desert region in 2011. Researchers believe the remains were there for somewhere between six and nine million years.
8. Ingá Stone
The Ingá Stone, also called Itacoatiara do Ingá, is a rock formation in the Ingá River in northeastern Brazil’s Paraíba State. Measuring 150 by 12 feet, (46 x 3.8 meters), it contains low-relief carvings of unknown origin and meaning, including figures and geometric shapes.
7. Cthulhu’s Remains
In April of last year, international headlines buzzed about the alleged discovery of the fossilized remains of the fictional Cthulhu entity created by writer H.P. Lovecraft. That’s as close as I can get to pronouncing it!!
They contained remarkably well-preserved mummies, courtesy of the extremely dry conditions, dating back to the first and second centuries B.C., as well as advanced artifacts that, as far as researchers knew, didn’t exist yet in China’s Central Plains, like bronze, high-quality woolen textiles, and the wheel.
5. Silbury Hill
Located in Wiltshire, England, Silbury Hill is the largest artificial mound from prehistoric Europe discovered so far. This flat-topped Neolithic monument measures roughly 98 feet (30 meters) tall and 525 feet (160 meters) wide, and was constructed using nearby soil and chalk.
3. Ballyshannon ‘Sun Disc’
The Ballyshannon ‘sun disc’ is a small gold-foil disc depicting a cross surrounded by circles and other geometric shapes. A group of men searching for a fabled grave discovered the object at a prehistoric gravesite in 1669 in Ballyshannon, County Donegal, Ireland.
1. Minaret Of Jam
Built in the late 12th century in what’s now Afghanistan, the Minaret of Jam is the only standing remnant of a great mosque that once stood at the site, along with a large courtyard. In fact, the minaret could be the last remaining structure of the “lost” Turquoise Mountain city, according to some scholars.
