10. The Crick Stone
Mên-an-Tol, also called the Crick Stone, is a series of small standing stones in Cornwall, England that likely date back somewhere between 3,500 and 4,000 years, to the Late Neolithic or Bronze Age. Its Cornish name means “stone with a hole,” which appropriately describes one of the monuments at the site. The original design of these megalithic remains is up for debate but they were most likely once part of a big stone circle.
9. CHILD AMPUTEE BURIAL
In an extremely rare discovery, archaeologists working on Indonesia’s Alor Island found the 8,000-year-old burial of a legless and armless child. A recently published study detailing the remains describes how the people who buried the child removed their long leg bones and disposed of them elsewhere, and how a pigment called red ochre was painted onto the face as part of the burial ritual.
8. Ancient Dog Origins
Dogs have been our best friend for thousands of years. But the exact origins of modern domestic dogs and the nature of their relation to wolves are long-running mysteries to scientists. Actual, solid proof remains elusive. In the process of their ongoing quest to learn more about where today’s dogs came from, scientists recently conducted the most extensive study to date on ancient dog DNA.
7. ELITE VIKING SETTLEMENT
Thanks to radar technology, archaeologists have identified an elite Viking settlement and burial ground in southern Norway. Dating back to sometime between 550 and 1050 A.D., during the Nordic Iron Age, the site may have once served as a political and/or religious center for those who inhabited it, and is offering researchers a glimpse into Nordic society’s transition from the Iron to the Viking Age.
6. Where did hooved animals come from?
Did you know that rhinos and horses originated in North America about 50 million years ago?? Known as Hyrachyus and Eohippus, they were quite different from the animals that we know today but they all come from the same family, perissodactyls.
5. Our Prehistoric Cousin
In 2018, archaeologists working in the Drimolen cave system near Johannesburg, South Africa unearthed the two-million-year-old skull of one of our early distant relatives, Paranthropus robustus. The skull belonged to a male and is the oldest and best preserved example of the species.
4. Earliest Twin Burial
It’s rare for archaeologists to discover prehistoric infant remains, let alone those belonging to twins. But it happened in 2005 at the Krems-Wachtberg archaeological site in Austria, where two male infants from an ancient hunter-gatherer society were discovered, and DNA evidence recently confirmed it as the oldest known twin burial.
3. Rare Brick Tombs
Construction workers in eastern China recently stumbled upon formations made from colorfully-painted bricks. Suspecting that they had encountered an important historic structure, the team reported the discovery to local officials. As it turns out, they had found two rare, 1,800-year-old tombs.
2. New Dinosaur Species
Last year, a Ph.D. candidate from Virginia Tech College of Science found fossilized bone fragments of a rat-like creature in the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. The fossils belonged to a previously undiscovered species of cynodont, or stem-mammal, a predecessor of modern mammals.
1. Secret Treasure
While working mostly in isolation on a restoration project at Oxburgh Hall in Oxborough, England during the ongoing pandemic, archaeologist Matthew Champion discovered a treasure trove of artifacts beneath the historic structure’s floorboards. Not bad for a quarantine project!!!

Hi, Katrina. I just want to thank you for keeping all of us fascinated and entertained during one of the worst years in modern history in such a fun and interesting way everyday if only for just a few minutes. Thank you for doing such good work for all of us right now.

[@msverde6292]

I was digging a fire pit earlier this year and I found an 1865 large cent piece. My own little buried treasure!

[@OG-GenX065]

Very cool !!

[@gerarduspoppel2831]

Cool find💪

[@philmassie1179]

Great find

[@doodlerdave]

I am an avid metal detectorist. My earliest find I a 1798 large cent penny.

[@sylvesterprimus1392]

Good for you ... Don forget to call up the spirit who own it to find another bigger treasure around his journey

[@kymbab3471]

All the things we find from the past It’s just an infinite puzzle 🧩 And we still haven’t a clue of the big picture.. that’s life 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@chrisaguirre6431]

I just got done taking down my Christmas lights and then found this and I thought I should watch it I'm chilling

[@ewewerwe4342]

Now the stone has to pay child support.

[@darrenbishop92]

🥱

[@davidthomson5513]

I absolutely LOVE your videos

[@cindymurten6000]

I love your videos. I learn so much. Please do more on archaeology finds

[@marlanadial8190]

I LOVE your channel especially the lost cities and findings or artifacts. How can you be so knowledgeable knowing all these years and centuries I didn't know existed?? I'm so blown away... I WANNA LEARN MORE KEEP POSTING

[@leebremel9713]

Archeologists have all the fun... This was one of my favorite videos

[@Facetiously.Esoteric]

Lmao Archaeology is a slow tedious labor intensive job. Far from excited.

[@leebremel9713]

But if it's something you love doing it's a pleasure that leaves you satisfied at the end of the day

[@aftersexhighfives]

😂😂 yea dusty, dirty, hot, scorching hot all to find something cool and have the "lead" for the dig take credit for the find. wait 30 years to become the lead. only 5% worldwide do. never get to be the lead. always just digging in painful conditions. but the places you get to see are gorgeous.

[@donpruett9194]

Thanks for the informative comment I enjoy history and like learning about new discoveries

[@tombowers536]

I live near men-an-tol and although a popular location it isn't the most spectacular standing stone structure in the area which is very rich in these things. Check out lanyon quoit which is a cool one

[@robovermeyer6674]

Great work as always Katrina

[@tasossaros8375]

Never heard of Katrina, thank you so much ❤️👍

[@gregoriarevilla5665]

Happy new year Katrina! Part of the early crew 😁

[@scrapfancy]

Enjoy your vlogs. Keep up the good work. 💜😊

[@daguard411]

German Shepherd's (Deutscher Schäferhund) throw a bit of wrench in this episode in that the man who started the breed development, Max von Stephanitz, bought a dog that impressed him, and the dog was half wolf.

[@kcvlogs3946]

It’s the intro for me lol “ Hi it’s Katrina”

[@jamesbriggs3092]

thanks katrina.

[@nickeldime3867]

All very interesting i like it learning things i never thought of.

[@Justanotherfuckingobserver]

You should take a look at my what's really happening playlist

[@sicklilttlebunny]

I live near the Men an Tol and used to ride my bike to it all the time. Grew up hearing all the cornish myths and Legends. So cool to see something i know personally appear on here. Oh and there are hundreds of these old burials and standing stones. Wells. Mounds and much more and that's just in that part of Cornwall.

[@BlenderStudy]

I learn new things each day..!! Thank you for the update, Origins Explained..!!

[@supportyourtroopsathletes6460]

[@sirenamarieneblina2314]

I'm only 18 and what dad didn't tell me I found out when I died, and school was good for 1 thing, learning the ability to read and write, the rest was just jargon.

[@raccoonresident5760]

The child buried without leg and arm bones.....likely to keep the child in place......may have been something wrong with the child and when it died removed bones to keep it from digging and walking out of the grave......

[@lawrenceeytcheson1317]

1 0 1.... binary code?

[@inaaronshead7331]

The only one I knew about was dogs and wolves.

[@sylvesterprimus1392]

The men a tol is use to count the time on day time and date on night time by counting the moon measurement and the sun preposition to sunset .

[@StevenStarksjbirdcapitalllc]

In regards to the time disparity between the spread of domesticated dogs and human expansion, wouldn’t that imply that civilized humanity is far older than experts originally said?

[@tommymonday9132]

Puppies....!!!!!

[@drewv9493]

Oh yeah

[@sirenamarieneblina2314]

That used to be called 'hole in the wall.'

[@jaredquinney204]

Interesting

[@Annihilator27]

4:42 I wouldn’t say shockingly. We’ve ruined dogs with breeding for shows.

[@leomcmlx]

Stoneage Stargate oh no

[@floydriebe4755]

hi Katrina! just one question. is that you hiding in the start and the 1st mystery? teasing us, are you? little devil, you. 🙃 more fun than a bunch of puppies! well, maybe not but fun. the crick stone is quite interesting. makes me wonder what those ancient people were thinking. big ideas, i'm sure. oohh, for a time machine!

[@regislepan8359]

Whenever a person is mentioned, a fictional character appears, casting doubt on the veracity of the allegations.

[@jennycooper8006]

The gaurdian of forever

[@jaynehorn151]

Re DNA in wolf dogs. Of course wolf dog crosses demonstrate their genetic origins. Why to you think suspected wolf dogs are genetically tested.

[@aswaltan8962]

Stone 101 !😂

[@darlahenri8095]

Enjoyable. Wh as t if dogs came from dogs or foxes (their more fox like than wolf) but when someone of importance assumes something it becomes fact.

[@abhiramanne9649]

No pinned comment today?

[@joannashaw4668]

I've crawled through the men an tol, it's said that it heals, but I can't vouch for that!! 😉

[@williamrbuchanan4153]

Woman through stone backwards, when can we see this bit? Did it hit anything?

[@ronaldbelken396]

1865 wow! 186fiveee!! !!!you scored that will Make the archeologist Today magazine not!!!! Thats like last week in a archeological time keep digging you try digging in your neighbors yard thats what archeologist do lol

[@SmokieMcShatter]

Ya i still dont understand the whole decendants of Apes thing, even Darwin said people took his theory too far, yes we share over 85 % of DNA but thats just random sequences matched to small parts not the whole strand, pig share over 90% DNA in full sequence but nobody ever says were relatives lol, something to think aboot

[@ejwski3615]

On dog part . There are wild dogs in countries besides wolfs Foxes are related to dogs So who truly knows their origins

[@bruhagent7310]

1:07 noice

[@dawndyreed8031]

Something I didn't know fasicnating.

[@Medichio]

Bronze coin or button at 2:55

[@elvisdawson7404]

The Creek stone all your imagination

[@Seawolfaka]

Did it breed with Desinovians Neanderthal or cromagnon

[@OG-GenX065]

Dogs (canis familiaris) are descendants of the wolf ( canis lupus). Which is why you should never have a half-breed wolf-dog as a pet. It might not end well.

[@osmosisjones4912]

If a woman passes through the hole 7times she gets pregnant. So she's the 🐓

[@Ounouh]

I wonder if there's 7 step-druids on the other side waiting to see if she backs trough the stone in right way...

[@liamsmith9244]

Hi

[@williamrbuchanan4153]

Why people took their dogs when they moved. Dogs have sax too. So that about it.

[@melon9680]

Experts not sure? Seems anyone can call themself an expert these days.

[@thomasbranson8796]

Wow, you just showed where fruit loops are fashioned from. Congratulations.

[@iulianispas8634]

Im quite shure the limbs of the child wore eaten

[@jesseflynn1259]

Starvation sacrafice

[@yourlastingimpression9849]

[@osmosisjones4912]

So dogs might have came from different breads of wolfs maybe even c Some cyotes . Can foxes cross bread

[@enrico7474]
