Entdeckung in Italien, die niemand erklären kann

Every archaeological find is surrounded by a touch of mystery. Without living witnesses who have witnessed the origin of such thousands of years of discovery, we can only make assumptions based on what we believe to know about the story. But some discoveries are shrouded in an even denser veil of mystery, and the most fascinating of them are shown in this video. The horn of the unicorn, known as Alicorn, is a legendary object whose existence has been accepted both in Europe and in Asia since ancient times. It supposedly comes from the mythical creature unicorn, and numerous healing properties as well as potent antidotes were attributed to the Alicorn, which made it one of the most renowned and most expensive remedies during the Renaissance. It was believed to be able to clean water and neutralize toxins. Such a horn was used to make scepters and other royal objects, such as the unicorn throne of the Danish kings. The belief in the power of the Alicorn was maintained until the 16th century, when the true origin was revealed. This marine mammal is the actual bearer of the Alicorn, which is actually an elongated tooth that occurs in males and some females. Since then, the horn of the unicorn has been quoted in fantasy works, role-playing games and video games, which use its legendary symbolism. The big question remains, how could the belief in the authenticity of unicorn horns have existed for so long, if no one has ever seen a unicorn with their own eyes? In a fascinating discovery, which raises the heart of every magician, an extensive collection of old spells was excavated in a library in Leipzig, Germany. These enchanted manuscripts, some of them up to 1,600 years old, contain an impressive number of 10,000 pages and offer a seductive insight into the complex mystical practices of past times. The spells cover a wide range of topics, from summoning angels or demons to detailed instructions to achieve specific goals. One of these spells describes the careful preparation required for a magical ritual, including fasting, wearing new clothes and preparing a flawless room, filled with smoke and adorned with new furniture. The spell even indicates the starting time, 10 o'clock in the evening on the first Friday of the New Moon. We do not know which spirits were summoned by this ritual, but they obviously consisted of those who were well-dressed. This extraordinary collection, one of the most important of its kind on the European continent, underlines the persistent fascination for magic and the supernatural and offers a unique window to the mysterious practices of our ancestors. In the following we are confronted with a entangling and mysterious underwater riddle, the treasure of Rochelon. A collection of 2,500-year-old artifacts, which were found off the southwest coast of France, still raises questions for scientists. The treasure was first discovered in 1964 by André Bouscaraz, a wreck enthusiast, and contains 800 kilograms of copper bars and about 1,700 bronze artifacts, such as bracelets, large brooches, belt buckles and weapons. The artifacts were spread over an area of ​​about 25 by 14 meters, in a depth of 6 to 8 meters. Theories about the origin of these artifacts range from Etruscan to Phoenician, but there is no consensus. Some experts suspect that it could be an underwater sanctuary, in which objects have accumulated over the years, while others suggest that the artifacts could be the cargo of a ship that was destroyed in a storm on its way to the Italian waters. All this, however, is pure speculation and the truth is that we just do not know. Even the assumption that they are 2,500 years old is an estimate. These artifacts could be much older. The treasure of Rochelon, with its diverse origins and mysterious circumstances, emphasizes the importance of underwater archaeology in revealing the secrets of our ancient ancestors. Our next groundbreaking discovery has the potential to rewrite the history of water supply in China. Archaeologists have excavated six ancient wells in the district of Zanping in the province of Henan. These wells, which date back up to 9,000 years, are the oldest that have been discovered in China so far. The differentiated construction of the wells, where the deepest is almost 5 meters below the ground, shows amazing engineering skills. Some were provided with steps, probably to make it easier for the inhabitants to remove water from larger depths. The team also found ancient tools and five ceramic vessels, which were probably used to transport water from these wells. The exact purpose of these wells is still a mystery, with theories ranging from drinking water supply through irrigation of land to water collection for potteries. This find shifts the chronology of Chinese wells by 2,000 years, as it was assumed that the oldest wells would come from the Neolithic period, 6,000 to 7,000 years before. This find emphasizes the importance of the wells, which freed people from the dependence on rivers. With the development of this new water construction technology, our ancestors continued to venture into the interior of the country from the coastal areas and founded new settlements. Many of you have certainly heard of the legend of the sword in the stone, which is associated with the myth of King Arthur in England. But what is unknown to many is the existence of another sword in the stone, which is not in England, but in the chapel of Monteciepi in Ciusdino, Italy. Instead of waiting for the just monarch who pulls it out of the rock, this sword was rammed into the stone by a saint. This saint was Galgano Guidotti, born near Ciusdino in 1148. Once a wealthy knight, he became an eremite after his return to Christianity. In his later life, he claimed to have been visited by the archangel Michael, who asked him to give up all his material goods. Galgano replied that this was just as likely as a sword hitting a massive stone. When he tried to demonstrate this impossibility, he was surprised that the blade entered the rock effortlessly, where it remained firmly anchored. He died in 1185 and was made Pope Lucius I the following year. Holy spoken. The chapel of Monteciepi was then built around the sword in the stone. Tests confirmed that the sword comes from the 12th century, which makes us think about it. Who could claim that the story is not true? In a development that adds another dimension to the constant mystery of Roanoke's lost colony, a ring was taken from which it could be a decisive indication of the search for the missing settlers, as if it did not reveal what it seemed to be. Discovered in 1998 on the Hatteras Island in North Carolina, the ring was originally considered gold and brought into contact with a family that participated in expeditions to Roanoke in the 1580s. Current investigations at the East Carolina University, however, have shown that the ring is actually made of brass, a material that was often used in mass production, which was sold to the American natives long after the failed colonization attempt. While some archaeologists argue that the ring could still belong to a settler from Roanoke and have been preserved as a relic, others believe that it is more likely that it was acquired by the natives of later English settlers. This revelation underlines the complexity of the search for the missing colony and the need for a careful analysis when interpreting archaeological finds. Nevertheless, this event takes us further than ever from the decryption of the true history of Roanoke, and frustratingly enough, we may never find out the truth. We tend to think of Tutankhamun as the young king of ancient Egypt because of his young age. But Tutankhamun was already old enough to have children. We know this because we found two of them. Unfortunately, they did not live long. The two girls were buried in their father's grave and were discovered when it was opened by Howard Carter in 1922. The inscriptions on their small coffins only refer to them as Osiris, which means the deceased, so we do not know their names. Today they are referred to as mummies 317a and 317b. The mother of the girls was probably Ankesen Amun, Tutankhamun's wife, who is possibly the mummy, which is now referred to as KV 21a. Mummy 317a was prematurely born after only 5 or 6 months of pregnancy, while mummy 317b was born in full or almost full time. Her appearance is unusual, and although diseases such as spina bifida and spina bifida were suggested as possible causes, none could be confirmed. In fact, scientists were never able to determine the cause of death of one of the children. In the heart of the Jewish Alps, a captivating story unfolds, which changes between folklore and pareidolia. I present to you the Eidowska Deklika, or pagan virgin, a rock formation that, from the right point of view, shows an amazing resemblance to the face of a woman. However, it is not about any face, but about the face of a noble village resident, a guardian spirit of the forests, who guided travelers during snowstorms, and who had the gift of foreseeing the fate of unborn children. According to local tradition, she prophesied that a young man would break up to hunt the Zlatorog, a legendary Gamsbog with magical powers. Enraged by her prediction of the end of the Zlatorog, her brothers cursed her to stone her body when she returned to Mount Priseunik. Today, the image of the pagan virgin is engraved in the north wall of Priseunik, a silent witness of a story that intertwines the supernatural with the tangible world. So if you ever wander through the Jewish Alps, be sure to look for this mythical stone lady. Science may ensure that it was not created by man, but there are many who firmly believe in it. In an archaeological adventure that is worthy of a cinematographic production, researchers confirmed the existence of an extensive underground complex under the old town of Mitla in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. It was assumed that this complex network of chambers and passages was an entrance to the Zapotec underworld named Liobar. With non-invasive geophysical tools, the research team of the Liobar project discovered several chambers and tunnels under the structures of the city. The most important finds were found under the church group, where a Catholic church was built at the end of the 16th century. Historical documents identified this area as the entrance to the temple of Liobar, where the believers communicated with gods and spirits. The researchers also examined areas under the palace of the pillars and discovered geophysical anomalies that are probably hidden graves. This find not only confirms the existence of Liobar, but also offers valuable insights into the spiritual practices of the Zapotec people who lived in pre-Columbian South Mexico. The team plans to continue their explorations, in the hope of uncovering more secrets of this old underworld. Our next discovery is an archaeological find that takes us back to a time before Stonehenge in England. It is 25 monumental prehistoric graves that were discovered near Linmere in Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire. These graves, which date back to the Mesolithic period of about 6,000 to 12,000 years, represent an important find that could offer insights into life in Great Britain during this era. Radiocarbon dating has shown that these graves are between 8,500 and 7,700 years old. Their impressive size is one of the most remarkable Mesolithic remains found in the United Kingdom. The graves, with a diameter of around 4.5 meters and a depth of more than 1.8 meters, contained remains of various wild animals, including oryx, marder, deer and wild boar. In particular, the oryx bones helped determine the age of the graves. Archaeologists at the Albion Archaeology and the Archaeological Museum of London continue their work on site, in the hope of learning more about the old landscape and the purpose of these graves. This find emphasizes the importance of radiocarbon dating in archaeological research, as it can clarify the importance of traces that would otherwise possibly be overlooked. Will it bring us closer to the mystery of Stonehenge? Probably not, but we can dream. It is known that some of the old inhabitants of China had a passion for making jade artifacts known as Kongs. However, the reason for this remains hidden. Numerous artfully decorated jade Kongs were found in the province of Zhejiang in China, which indicates that they were created by the Liangzhu culture, which lived there during the Neolithic period. Each Kong is a square tube with a central round hole. However, to describe them in such a simple way does not meet the refinement of their decorations. The decorations vary from Kong to Kong, but many of them show human faces, which are painted in the corners around the central hole. It is assumed that these faces represent ghosts. This assumption is based on the fact that jade Kongs, except for a few exceptions, are found exclusively in graves. They certainly have a spiritual meaning, although we can only speculate what that could be. We can also only guess why these artifacts seem to have suddenly gone out of use. They were omnipresent until about 2,000 years ago, after which it seems that no one else produced them. The Colossus of Rhodes was one of the Seven Wonders of Antiquity and is one of the most impressive sculptural masterpieces that humanity has ever created. Its absence today is a regrettable loss. Historical records tell us that the Colossus represented the Greek sun god Helios and once majestically reigned over the city of Rhodes on the equally famous Greek island. The exact location of the Colossus is the subject of heated debates among historians and remains a secret. The sculpture was designed by Chares von Lindos in 280 BC and built to celebrate the successful resistance of Rhodes against the armies of Demetrius Poliorcetes after a one-year siege. It is claimed that the Colossus was about 32.9 meters high, which would put it on a similar scale as the Statue of Liberty. Only 54 years after its completion, the Colossus was destroyed by an earthquake. Some parts took too long and, according to some reports, Hadrian ordered the reconstruction. But this claim is contradicted by other sources. In 653, Arab forces were the first under the command of Muawiyah, ruler over Rhodes, and destroyed the remaining remains of the sculpture. The idea of ​​building a new Colossus continues to this day. To stay up to date and not miss any of our exclusive content, please subscribe to our channel and activate the notification bell.
