** Archaeologists are not always confronted with ordinary discoveries. Sometimes, they stumble on things that are quite confusing and confusing. Here are seven most sensational inventions that still need to be explored properly. **
** The Voynich Manuscript .**
Instead of being named for the author, the Voynich manuscript was called after Wilfrid Voynich, a book dealer who bought the mysterious codex back in 1912. However, no one can identify the man behind the artifacts hand-written in the unknown. language. In addition to unreadable text, it is decorated with illustrations of plants and unidentifiable objects.
Of course, manuscripts have become a source of conspiracy theories are growing. The latter claimed that it was created as a sophisticated practical joke. However, writing 240 pages of text using a complicated sign system may be too much even for a whim with ADHD.
** Yonaguni Monument **
Discovered by dive instructor Kihachiro Aratake after he plunged into water off the coast of the Japanese island of Yonaguni in 1986, an unsolved undersea mystery is known as the 'Japanese Atlantis'. A series of storied monoliths to the side of the mountain lay six meters beneath the surface of the ocean. Giant rectangular formations with very perfect 90 degree angles, straight walls, stairs and columns are believed to be the remains of an ancient city drowned by 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.
