7 Mysterious Discoveries That Left Even Archaeologists Baffled


7 MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERIES THAT LEFT EVEN ARCHAEOLOGISTS BAFFLED

Archaeologists are not always faced with ordinary discoveries. Sometimes, they
stumble upon things that are quite perplexing and baffling. Here are seven of
the most sensational discoveries that are still to be properly explored.


THE VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT


 



Rather than being named for the author, the Voynich manuscript is called after
Wilfrid Voynich, a book dealer who purchased the mysterious codex back in 1912.
Still, nobody can identify the person behind the hand-written artifact that’s
written in an unknown language. In addition to the unreadable text, it is
adorned with illustrations of unidentifiable plants and objects. Naturally, the
manuscript has become a source of constantly evolving conspiracy theories. The
last one claims that it was created as a sophisticated practical joke. However,
writing 240 pages of text using an elaborate sign system might be too much even
for a prankster with ADHD.



THE YONAGUNI MONUMENT



Discovered by a scuba diving instructor Kihachiro Aratake after he plunged into
the water off the coast of the Japanese island of Yonaguni in 1986, the unsolved
underwater mystery became known as ‘Japan’s Atlantis.’ A series of monoliths
terraced into the side of a mountain lay six meters below the surface of the
ocean. The gigantic rectangular formations with strikingly perfect 90 degree
angles, straight walls, steps and columns are believed to be the remains of an
ancient city that sunk due to seismic events thousands of years ago. Still, no
one knows for sure.




MOUNT OWEN MOA



In 1986, a group of archaeologists discovered an enormous, dinosaur-like claw
when they were digging in a large cave system on Mount Owen in New Zealand. The
claw was still intact with muscles and scaly skin attached to it. Later, the
experts confirmed that it is a foot of now extinct wingless bird moa. The
species disappeared about 2000 years ago. Moas were huge birds measuring up to
12 feet in height and up to 250 kg in weight. Unfortunately, they got hunted to
extinction by our early ancestors.

NAZCA LINES



The unusual formation of white lines that can be seen and appreciated only from
the sky remains one of the world’s biggest enigmas. The purpose of trapezoid
elements, strange symbols, plant structures, pictures of birds and
unrecognizable beasts etched on a giant scale is still unknown. Scientists
estimated that the lines were created by Nazca Indians between 500 B.C and 700
A.D. meaning that these ancient drawings remain intact for more than 2500 years.
The fans of conspiracy theories believe that the lines in the Nazca desert were
created as an enormous airfield for aliens.




COSTA RICA’S STONE SPHERES



Still considered one of the world’s unsolved archaeological mysteries, nearly
flawless spherical stones were first found in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica
during the 1930s. Hundreds more have been discovered all over the country.
Ranging in size from a few centimeters to over 2 meters in diameter, the spheres
sparked numerous myths and speculations. Scientists still don’t know for sure
what the purpose of these mysterious polished orbs might be.



THE GOBEKLI TEPE



The ancient site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey has rewritten the early history of
civilization. Since the excavations started there in 1995, the discovery has
changed the way archaeologists think about the Neolithic era and the origins of
humanity. Scientists dug out circular structures with elaborately carved stones
and distinctive pillars that are more than 12,000 years old. It was believed
that in the Neolithic period pottery and agriculture hadn’t been invented.
Today, the Göbekli Tepe site possesses the most ancient cathedral developed by
humankind. This significant discovery is still to be explored thoroughly
explored and explained.




THE UNFINISHED OBELISK



Taller than any known obelisk ever raised, the ‘Unfinished’ Obelisk is one of
the most famous stones ever excavated. It could become the largest known
Egyptian obelisk if it was erected. Once semi-carved from the solid bedrock,
this gigantic stone block was intended to be 36m tall. It’s estimated that its
weight would be between 1100 and 1150 tons.
