12 Most Ancient Archaeological Discoveries Scientists Still Can't Explain

The man made cave has survived nearly 1,000 years and you say it could collapse at any time? How long does the cave need to prove it's solid?

[@GrandmaBev64]

Odessa has 1500 miles of catacombs under it. Odesa was a huge star fort, just like Malta. Malta has hundreds of miles of catacombs and tunnels too. The whole city is built on a giant star fort. Amsterdam is a star fort too. There are hundreds of catacombs and "Bastian" or "Star Forts" all over the world, even in the US, and tiny islands in the middle of the ocean. At the time the catacombs were built, the population does not match up with the amount of bones it takes to fill hundreds of miles of geometrical patterns in those tunnels. Who built the tunnels? Who dismantled and sorted the bones, and what happened to the people whose bones were found. They say they found millions of bodies at St. Innocence Cemetery in France alone. The tunnels under these cities are extensive and no one knows who built them or why.

[@r.martin3494]

I have a feeling we are soon going to find out why they were built and why so many died. They were sheltering from danger.

Likely massive underground facilities are for protection from excessive energy coming from the Sun but why .... likely increased energy arriving at the Sun from Birkeland Currents..

Egyptian’s can create flatter than glass surfaces on almost diamond, hard stone with copper chisels, but you were amazed that Neanderthals used fire to cook food. Listening I have to think about the Borg from Star Trek saying “we are smart.”

[@calglider13]

I think you are mistaken. It was The Pakleds that said "we are smart." They also asked Geordi La Forge to" make us strong."

[@Siluetae]

Egyptians didn't do that, if they did they would still know how. And it's pretty obvious some other type of technology was employed to create such precision, because it is beyond our capabilities, definitely not copper chisels

​@usmcmsgt1720 science is proven by math and observable processes. Also, they knew how to explain covid and space. Obviously, they were wrong about almost everything like 1,500 years ago, but that was because they had almost no technology and were just making guesses or hypotheses.

IF Davidbirdman is a scientist, I am a starman from Antares. No scientist would say they were able to explain nothing. Birdman is an anti-science nutjob and a liar.

The same can be said of some of science, especially that at the cutting edge of physical accessibilty or understanding.

Copper often occurs with arsenic as mined. it makes the copper harder than it would be. So not deliberately added.

[@AlfredMoi]

Round stones like this are concretion. In the center was something that hardened the weak sediment sooner then the surroundings. This can be tissue from a large shell or other compact and slowly deteriorating animal. The circumvents of the stone and anything within it is turned into concrete while the rest of the sediment remained sand or mud or a layer that was far less strong. It weathered away. This is so common that there is no question about its origins and the fact is well known. Fossils are also often surrounded by a more or less round shape of stone.

[@H-Bomb295]

You are absolutely right. I have read of these concretions.

Similar stones can be found in Canada on the shores of a Great Lake. These perfectly round stones of all sizes were created by the waves rolling along a marble like shore floor rarely more than a foot deep. They are called kettles and can be found in Ipperwash. They are naturally formed. No carving whatsoever.

[@torvilasulvstle362]

That last one is wild. If fire happened 800k years ago, there is no way they stayed primitive for 700k years. I think there is another species on this earth that is more advanced. But with high intelligence can come low reproduction

Yes red sandstone in Ireland

[@davidchurch3472]

Not sure which of the swords you were showing was the one discovered, but if it was from Britain (UK did not exist back at that time!) then it would be a BRITISH type of sword ,and why would you assume it is a Viking one?

[@iamperplexed4695]

Because the Vikings controlled large parts of BRITAIN for a couple hundred years? Just because it's made on BRITISH soil doesn't mean it was made by BRITONS.

[@judewarner1536]

​@@iamperplexed4695The Iron Age preceded the age of Vikings. British "pattern iron" swords were famous across Europe, so much so that some were imbued with magical powers, such as "Caliburn", better known by its anglicised name of Excalibur.

[@r.martin3494]

​@@iamperplexed4695well explained but it doesn't mean it WAS Viking any the more than it wasn't! Does it? If at the time of the Viking invasion, surely it wasn't even known then as Britain but rather as individual, independent countries named England, Wales, Scotland and Eire and all spoke their own languages too such as ye olde English, Cymraeg, and Gaelic.

[@iamperplexed4695]

@r.martin3494 Yes, that is true. You cannot account for it any more than you can discount it. Although I am pretty sure that the Norse had extensive trading networks around the island and the emerald isle as well, before the invasions of the late 800's. Just as they already had the same relationships into the eastern Slav and northern European regions. To me, this feels like finding an example of Damascus Steel in a viking burial and claiming that Vikings made Damascus Steel first, which clearly wouldn't be the case.

The arsenic in the bronze occurs naturally in copper deposits or it can occur in copper deposits, some but not all... and makes a hard arsenic bronze simply by being present Thats how the Egyptians discovered bronze
