Finding a historically significant artifact is only half of the battle for an archaeologist. As soon as they’ve located an object or a place, their next job is to explain its purpose or its history. That isn’t always possible for them, and nor is it always possible for their fellow experts, who they contact when they get stuck! That means some of the most amazing discoveries of recent times are currently unexplained, so we’ve put them together in this video for you to see if you can solve the mysteries!

Archaeologist here: we've found plenty of "portable" pocket sundials from ancient Rome. The Smithsonian has quite a collection. And the Padmanabhaswamy temple has 8 vaults (two more were discovered in 2020) AND vault B was opened to reveal three sets of doors (metal grille, wooden, and a solid iron door that was jammed shut). Experts attempted to have a locksmith open the final door, however, the Indian Supreme Court ordered the vault sealed citing religious reasons.

I wish I could’ve traveled back in time and see what ancient times were like. Just spend a few hours there and see what it was like

I studied hard at University, became an archeologist. Now my life is in ruins. I enjoyed this video, There is so much we do not understand about our history.
-
If you are going to show artifacts, then show them for more than a few seconds. I really don't want to see clips from Indiana Jones movies.

Interesting compilation of Archaeological Finds And Artifacts. These will always baffle the mainstream.

The story in the desert at 10 minutes . I think they were just farmer people who really appreciated the animals that serve humanity . Donkeys, horses and camels . We couldn't have done much with out those 3 animals. So I think its a shrine to the animals that help us

$168k to xray a box of thimbles? Somebody gettin paid af

The items in the incrustation from the 1700's shipwreck look very much like sewing thimbles stacked together. Thimbles are used today to protect fingertips from a hand sewing needle. Looking at them next to the people's hands in the photo they appear to be the same size to fit on their fingertips.

Those are thimbles stacked up on top one another.

How did Napoleon’s coin collection end up in vault B if it’s never been open?
-
And 4 or 5 thousand years from now, archeologist will think the faces on Mt Rushmore were ancient gods.
-
Its important to remember that when someone says “scientists can’t explain...” 90 percent of the time it means “I can’t explain it and didn’t look up what scientists say about it.”

great compilation! I only knew about half of these

4:33- I'd say they're metal thimbles. That's EXACTLY what they look like. That is, if they're finger sized. Thimbles would normally be made of ceramic, bone, or wood, but if someone decided to created copper ones, that could've worked.

For PraveenMohan to give this video a compliment, is high praise indeed....
-
$165,000 to make sure what looked like piles of thimbles were files of thimbles! :)

If you look at that Crocodile Stone carefully, you will see that it was indeed used for Human sacrifices. But these sacrifices were limited to incredibly well-endowed Klansmen. As such, you can imagine that the stone saw very--very--little use.

The burial of the decapitated Mayan girl, sevvered head placed on the chest, is creepily reminiscent of the burials of persons suspected of being vampires in eastern Europe up until the early 20th CE.

Thanks for all the movie clips, very educational.

As soon as l saw them I identified piles of thimbles straight away. They have not changed in hundreds of years.
