It is time to take a look at 2017 and comb through the numerous archaeological discoveries that have were made this year, and pick out 10 of the most fascinating, worth remembering. Note there isn’t a particular order. Tower of skulls  A group of archaeologists has found more than 650 skulls amalgamated with lime near the ‘Templo Mayor’ of the Aztec capital Tenochitlan, in Mexico. Archaeologists believe they were part of the Huey Tzompantli, a massive tower of skulls that horrified the Spanish conquerors when they captured the city in 1521. Cavity in the Great Pyramid  Scientists who used cosmic ray-based scanning technology detected a large mysterious “cavity” inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. The mysterious space, 20 meters long, is located just above the Grand Gallery, and it is the first large structure discovered since the 19th century inside the pyramid, which is believed to date back around 4,500 years. The Dead Sea Scrolls—the 12th cave  Researchers announced in 2017 the discovery of a series of jars, wrappings, and ties related to the Dead Sea Scrolls (the manuscripts that include the oldest known copies of biblical texts) in a cave, the twelfth of the Qumran caves near Qumran, Israel. “This exciting excavation is the closest we’ve come to discovering new Dead Sea scrolls in 60 years,” said Hebrew University archaeologist Oren Gutfeld, director of the excavation. Two sunken cities  Tunisia and Italy. Archaeologists discovered the existence of two submerged ancient Roman cities: Neapolis, near the city of Nabeul, and Baia, on the Italian coast. They disappeared in the 4th century, as a result of seismic and volcanic activity in the Mediterranean. Stone gates in Saudi Arabia  Researchers came across more than 400 strange structures which date back thousands of years in Saudi Arabia. It is believed that the ancient stone structures—dubbed as Gates by experts—could go be around 7,000 years old. Their purpose remains a mystery. Some of these “gates” are located next to a volcanic dome that at one time spewed out basaltic lava. The Antikythera wreck  The Antikythera shipwreck yielded more fascinating discovers as researchers discovered a vast array of relics and an arm of a bronze statue. This is quite a find as experts say that bronze statues are among the rarest artifacts from ancient times. What makes this discovery even more fascinating is the fact that the arm fragment does not match any statue bodies discovered to date, which brings us to the question: Where’s the rest of the statue? The Oldest Pottery fragments in America  2017 has yielded what many experts consider as the oldest pottery fragments ever discovered in the American Continent. A team of Russian and Ecuadorian experts recovered artifacts that are believed to date back more than 6,000 years and belonged to the little-studied culture of San Pedro. A 4,000-year-old clay tablet reveals location of Ancient Cities  Researchers have analyzed a 4,000-year-old clay tablet created by ancient merchants from the Assyrian Empire which details the approximate location of 11 long lost ancient cities. Written in the ancient Cuneiform script—developed by the ancient Sumerians—the clay tablets detail a set of business transactions, accounts, seals, contracts and even marriage certificates. Buddha’s remains?  Archaeologists have recovered cremated bones hidden away in a 1,000-year old chest in China that according to reports, may belong to Siddhartha Gautama, better known as Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. 9,7-million-year-old teeth  Experts found a 9.7 million-year-old fossilized denture that belonged to a species that in theory appeared in Africa several millions of years later has taken experts by surprise. The revolutionary finding may put Europe as the cradle of humanity. The discovery was made by experts from Germany who after making the discovery said: “We do not want to dramatize it too much, but I would hypothesize that we will have to start rewriting the history of humanity after today.” Is there really an underground world beneath the Pyramids of Giza? If we take a look at ancient texts written thousands of years ago, we find incredible details of a long-lost world hidden beneath our feet. As if the Pyramids at the Giza plateau and the Sphinx weren’t fascinating enough on their own, there are numerous accounts of secret tunnels, passageways, and chambers located beneath the Giza plateau. Some of these chambers are said to date back more than 15,000 years. It is a massive underground world, kept away from society, hidden from history books. In fact, the entire region of Memphis (Giza) is said to be covered by underground chambers, and secret rooms. Not far from Giza, at Fayum Oasis Herodotus once described the existence of an incredible Labyrinth which according to his writings was “an endless wonder to me.” This ancient labyrinth was, according to Herodotus of impressive size, and contained up to 1500 rooms, and subterranean chambers which were back then already off limits. This ancient structure left Herodotus awestruck, and he was compelled to write about it: “…There I saw twelve palaces regularly disposed, which had communication with each other, interspersed with terraces and arranged around twelve halls. It is hard to believe they are the work of man, the walls are covered with carved figures, and each court is exquisitely built of white marble and surrounded by a colonnade. Near the corner where the labyrinth ends, there is a pyramid, two hundred and forty feet in height, with great carved figures of animals on it and an underground passage by which it can be entered. I was told very credibly that underground chambers and passages connected this pyramid with the pyramids at Memphis…” Herodotus even wrote about a massive multi-level megalithic complex beneath the Pyramids at Giza, said to have been at least 15,000 old. Interestingly, quite a few authors supported Herodotus’ writing s about underground passages connecting major pyramids.  Iamblichus Chalcidensis, or Iamblichus of Apamea a Syrian Neoplatonist philosopher, and the biographer of Pythagoras wrote about an entranceway through the body of the Sphinx into the Great Pyramid: “…This entrance, obstructed in our day by sands and rubbish, may still be traced between the forelegs of the crouched colossus. It was formerly closed by a bronze gate whose secret spring could be operated only by the Magi. It was guarded by public respect, and a sort of religious fear maintained its inviolability better than armed protection would have done. In the belly of the Sphinx were cut out galleries leading to the subterranean part of the Great Pyramid. These galleries were so art-fully crisscrossed along their course to the Pyramid that, in setting forth into the passage without a guide throughout this network, one ceasingly and inevitably returned to the starting point…” The Giza plateau is well-known for a massive underground system that is composed of both manmade tunnels and chambers, as well as subterranean rivers and passages which have been mapped using ground penetrating radar since 1978. Several historians have pondered about the size of these underground structures, and what they may represent.
Some researchers claim that there are chambers beneath Giza larger than our largest cathedrals and that the legendary “City of the Gods”, may, in fact, be a massive structure located beneath the surface. Further evidence of secret underground passageways can be found in a manuscript currently housed in the British Museum, written by Altelemsani, which details an extensive square underground passage built between the Great Pyramid and the Nile river, with a ‘strange thing’ blocking the Nile entrance. “In the days of Ahmed Ben Touloun, a party entered the Great Pyramid through the tunnel and found in a side-chamber a goblet of glass of rare color and texture. As they were leaving, they missed one of the party and, upon returning to seek him, he came out to them naked and laughing said, “Do not follow or seek for me”, and then rushed back into the pyramid. His friends perceived that he was enchanted. Upon learning about strange happenings under the Pyramid, Ahmed Ben Touloun expressed a desire to see the goblet of glass. During the examination, it was filled with water and weighed, then emptied and re-weighed. The historian wrote that it was “found to be of the same weight when empty as when full of water”.”
Furthermore, other writers such as Masoudi (10th century) wrote about fascinating ‘mechanical statues with amazing capabilities’ which stood as guards, preventing anyone from entering subterranean chambers located beneath the Great Pyramid. These ‘robots’ from ancient times were supposedly programmed to destroy all “except those who by their conduct were worthy of admission”. “…written accounts of Wisdom and acquirements in the different arts and sciences were hidden deep, that they might remain as records for the benefit of those who could afterward comprehend them.” “…I have seen things that one does not describe for fear of making people doubt one’s intelligence… but still I have seen them…”—Masoudi, 10th century.

Noah’s ark is a mythical, massive-ship, that is said to have ‘saved’ all of the animals on Earth together with Noah’s family, before the great flood destroyed everything on the planet. If we take a quick peek at history, we will find that ‘Noah’s Ark’ is a story from the Hebrew Bible, which tells how, by order of God (Yahweh or Jehovah), Noah built a boat for to save him, his family, and countless animals who, saved from the great flood, would repopulate the Earth with their offspring. This story can be found both in the sacred texts of Judeo-Christianity (the Torah and the Old Testament) and in the Koran of the Muslims. Its origin can be traced back to the Sumerian myth of Ziusudra, and to the eventual contact of the ancient Hebrews with Mesopotamian cultures after the fall of Jerusalem. Despite the fact that in the past the universal flood was accepted as a historical fact, modern-day scholars remain skeptical regarding its literalness, given the lack of geological evidence for such an event. However, several biblical scholars continue exploring Mount Ararat, where the Bible says the ark rests.  Ummm…so, have found the Arc? A recent discovery could shed light on the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition, specifically in relation to the Ark of Noah, the ship that according to the biblical story saved all animal species of Earth during the great Flood. God, angry with the evil of man, told Noah to gather pairs of each of the animal species on Earth and shelter them in an ark where he and his family would survive the days following a massive, planetary flood. The question—if of course, one considers this story to be real and historical—is evident: what happened to the ark after the Flood? There are many scientists in the world who have tried to find evidence about it, and there are some who claimed to have found the remains of the ark. According to Genesis 8:4 the Ark landed on the “mountains of Ararat” on the 150th day of the great flood. A team of researchers claims to have found the remains of Noah’s Ark on a 90-meter thick glacier on Mount Ararat in Turkey. According to researchers, they found Noah’s ark after combing through satellite images. The old wooden structure would now be more than 4,800 years old and inside it, there are countless compartments, which would have served to accommodate each pair of animals. While many have expressed enthusiastic emotions about the discovery, others prefer to remain cautious, waiting for more evidence to determine whether or not it is the remains of Noah’s Ark. According to Noah’s Ark Ministries International, a documentary team based in Hong Kong, they’ve recovered wooden pieces from a massive structure which according to initial carbon dating results, dates back around 4,800 years. The remains of the alleged Ark were found at around 13,000 feet above sea level. “It’s not 100 percent that it is Noah’s ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it,” Yeung Wing-Cheung, a filmmaker accompanying the explorers, told The Daily Mail. “The structure is partitioned into different spaces,” said Noah’s Ark Ministries International team member Man-Fai Yuen in a statement. “We believe that the wooden structure we entered is the same structure recorded in historical accounts…” The Ark isn’t on Mount Ararat According to Dr. Andrew Snelling, in an article for Answersingenesis.org: “Several teams have continued searching for the real Ark. “Most of them have focused on Mount Ararat in northeastern Turkey, where eyewitness accounts of a wooden structure have spurred interest for centuries. “The biblical reference to ‘mountains of Ararat’ as the landing site of the Ark suggests those mountains formed well before the Flood ended. “The Flood was a global catastrophe that totally reshaped the earth’s geology, and the earth’s surface has continued to change since then. “Perhaps the geology of the modern Mount Ararat region sheds light on whether we should be looking for Noah’s Ark on that mountain.” Source: Noah’s Ark Found in Turkey? The expedition team is “99.9 percent” sure. Others, well, aren’t.

An Amateur astronomer snapped a few extremely interesting images from the Orion nebula, and UFO hunters are turning towards his images as proof as massive, interstellar alien spaceships. The Amateur Astronomer from North Carolina was exploring the Orion Nebula when he spotted a strange cigar-shaped UFO. Further analysis of the footage revealed a few mystery objects. While the astronomer was focusing on his Newtonian telescope, he observed a massive cylinder-shaped UFO that popped up on the screen of his laptop, capturing the enigmatic event in a single frame that lasted for 30 seconds.  Immediately after noticing the object that ‘should not have been captured’ near the Orion Nebula, the amateur astronomer turned to MUFON for explanations. The amateur astronomer wrote the following report to MUFON: “I was out collecting data on M42 Orion nebula, as I was fine focusing my 8 in astrograph / Newtonian Telescope this appeared on my laptop screen after the 1st I ran 5 frames @ 30.2-second sequence and it shows the movement of the objects at the bottom of the frames. The single cigar-shaped object was captured in a single 30.2-second frame and the 5-frame sequence followed because I’d thought the thrill was over Not the case. It had backup right behind it in the sequence. It’s not the 1st and surely not the last as I search the night sky for galaxies, nebulae and the truth that’s out there.”   Furthermore, after observing the UFO, the amateur astronomer noticed that the UFO sighting was not over as he identified several ‘other’ cigar-shaped objects which he also captured in a sequence of 5 frames at 30.2 seconds, and they clearly show the movement of objects at the bottom of the frames. However, Facebook page UFO of Interest takes a closer look at the alleged UFOs, and offers a possible explanation proposed by Dave Greg and Jerry Bell from the Facebook group “dazzathecameraman”: Here are the images of the mystery objects spotted by the amateur astronomer: Pictures from MUFON: Just how ancient civilizations that existed on Earth thousands of years ago managed to erect massive structures, gigantic monoliths, Pyramids, or polish, cut, and transport blocks of stone weighing more than 100 tons remains an enigma for experts. Some of the achievements of ancient cultures rival our very own capabilities today. Furthermore, no matter where we look, we find stunning ancient structures that have left experts wondering, how ancient cultures were able to do it. If we travel to Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs, in addition, the pyramids, we will find supermassive temples with blocks of stone fitted as if they were massive Lego blocks. Perfectly interlocking stones are seen in various temples in Egypt, and some of these structures have created confusion among experts who are unable to explain how ancient cultures did it. Curiously, if we travel halfway around the globe to South America, we will find eerily similar characteristics in Bolivia and Peru. If we take a look at the Koricancha temple, we will notice extremely smooth blocks of andesite that have been worked with such precision that some modern engineers have said: “they must have used laser-like tools, it’s impossible they used primitive tools like sticks and stones…” The truth is ancient civilizations that existed on Earth thousands of years ago were far more advanced and capable than what we credited them for today. Tiahuanaco is home to mind-altering structures. Within the Tiahuanaco complex in Bolivia, we find Puma Punku. The Door of the Puma, as Puma Punku translates, features some of the largest stones ever seen in that part of the world. One particular block of stone at the site is 7.81 meters long, 5.17 meters wide, averages 1.07 meters thick, and is estimated to weigh about 131 metric tons. It still remains an enigma as to how the ancient builders of Puma Punku—and Tiahuanaco—managed to transport these massive stones from their quarries. The precision cuts, sharp corners, and millimetric drill holes are another mystery which has left experts awestruck. The Osirion temple in Egypt features construction details that eerily resemble those found in America, more precisely Ollantaytambo and Sacsayhuaman. The Osirion temple offers us evidence of how ancient mankind managed to erect massive temples and place together gigantic blocks of stone to a millimetric precision, almost as if they could manipulate the weight of the stone, making them easier to transport. The same can be said about the massive stones and structures and Ollantaytambo and Sacsayhuaman. To get a ‘picture’ of what I am talking about, here are 20 images that have left archaeologists awestruck.
