We have
become familiar with the term artifacts and what that means. Usually things
like animal bones, arrowheads, ancient
documents
and complex statues are what comes to mind when we think of things like
artifacts. However, like with everything
else in life,
there are plenty of strange artifacts that have been found by archaeologists
that defy reason and have no
explanation.
Here are a list of several strange artifacts that have been found over the
years:
Strange
Fossils: Modern science has led us to believe that people have not been around
in our current forms for that many
years.
However, researchers have found strange looking fossils that have defied
traditionally accepted ideas. Like for
instance,
several handprint and footprint imprints have been found that scientists have
dated back millions of years. This
is much
longer than people have been thought to be around. There has even been a fossil
unearthed that looks like a man
wearing a
sandal that appears to also be several million years old. Who can explain it!
No one, yet.
Metal
Spheres: People have been digging up odd metal spheres in Africa for years now.
These metal spheres are perfectly
round and
some have designs etched into them. No one can explain what they were used for,
but one thing is for certain.
They have
been around for billions of years and do
not look like they are going anywhere anytime soon.
Ancients
Discs: Researchers have unearthed amazing looking gold discs in Chinese caves
that look to be ancient version
of records.
What were they used for? I guess we will probably never know.
Ancient
batteries: Researchers have found examples of batteries developed by ancient
people in the Middle East that are
similar to
that of the batteries of today. Amazing to think of the technology that could
have existed millions of years ago.
Aircraft
Shaped Artifacts: Scientists have unearthed artifacts in Egypt and South
America, two entirely different continents
that are
shaped unusually similar to modern aircrafts. Did they have the technology and
the know how to make flight back
then? WE
will probably never know.
Huge
Spherical Balls: Balls, perfectly circular, have been found in the jungles of
Costa Rica and Central America for
decades.
Some of these weigh a few ounces, others a few tons. Though they are clearly man-made, it’s not
clear what purpose
they
actually served for the people who made them.
The list of
strange fossils can go on and on and the debates that go along with them will
last forever. What can we make of
the strange
findings of scientists and researchers? Well, civilizations could have been
much more advanced that we have
previously
given them credit for. Or, other beings have inhabited the Earth earlier than
we realize. Who really knows for
sure? One
thing is for certain: it is pretty amazing what ancient people could do and
what similarities we have with them
now. These
artifacts will continue to amaze us for thousands of years to come.
