in ancient times avoided direct contact with ostriches and preferred only stolen ax for food despite of 8X supports a hypothesis that people deliberately brought ax here and cooked them on a fire however not only sand helps to preserve artifacts in their original form swamp people in Europe [Music] throughout Europe archaeologists have found hundreds of mummified people in swamps the first finds of this kind even scared archaeologists because the preservation of the deceased was amazing however later scientists were able to

understand how the process of mummification takes place in the Marshland at the same time the researchers realized that all the people buried in the swamps were victims of ritual murderers scientists have studied more than a thousand Swamp People found throughout Europe fragments of skeletons and Bones skin and soft tissues were studied in detail forensic experts found traces of cuts and stab ones on all the remains once were not inflicted with the intent to quickly kill a person all injuries were inflicted with a specific

purpose animal Burns and weapons were also found nearby all this points to Ritual killings and offerings ritual killings and Barrels in swamps date back to 5000 BC at least at the moment these were the oldest lines archaeologists found the oldest swamp mummies in Scandinavia the earliest ones date back to the Middle Ages but they look more like an accident than a sacrifice such a mummification process is considered natural and the most accessible so to speak if a person falls into a swamp and drowns then nature will do everything

itself and next I will tell you about the mummy more usual in our understanding the oldest mummy and the ruins of an unknown City in Egypt archaeologists made two interesting discoveries at once an unknown city of the era of the Roman Empire and a mummy completely covered in Gold it is currently the oldest mommy found in the country if you didn’t know it has recently been illegal in Britain to call a mummy now it’s a mummified person therefore be more tolerant of the mummified personality of Tutankhamun and

others please the ruins of the ancient city were discovered on the East Bank of the Nile not far from the Luxor in addition to the buildings the researchers found metallurgical workshops with various utensils to dovecoats Roman copper and bronze coins approximate age of buildings second and third centuries A.

D the tons of the late Roman Empire the uniqueness of the city is that usually archaeologists manage to find temples and tombs and hear the whole city but in the Sakara necropolis near KIRO archaeologists found a mummy in Limestone sarcophagus which is 4000 300 years old at the moment it is the most complete and oldest mummy found in Egypt and as we already know if the mummy is covered with gold then it did not belong to an ordinary person The Mummy has a name gagashaps in addition to this tomb for more of about the same age were found scientists preliminarily

consider that they belong to the highest Palace officials and one of them belongs to a judge and writer named fatak in order not to offend mummies do not forget the dessert mummified remains or a mummified person in recent years a lot of interesting and fascinating finds have been found in Egypt in terms of the scale of the discoveries this is reminiscent of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun at the beginning of the last century all these events will raise the level of tourism in the country to an even greater one while archaeologists

are clearing Their fines of sand I suggest you see the place where the ancient Sumerians ate canteen of ancient Sumerians on the territory of Iraq in the ancient city of lagash archaeologists have found the remains of an ancient public dining room and more than 5 000 years ago there was a full-fledged indoor building where chefs prepared a large amount of food and local workers or ordinary residents came here to eat maybe it was even free for them the researchers found something similar to a clay refrigerator benches

an oven and the remains of dishes where food was even preserved finding the tavern is actually a big Discovery this tells us that there was a middle class of people in this region in ancient lagash in addition to the elite and slaves they were ordinary hard workers who could come to the tavern after a working day and drink beer with a piece of meat or fish the area of the city of lagash is 450 hectes it was one of the largest settlements in southern Iraq in the third millennium BC in addition to the dining room archaeologists found a

Pottery Shop with sex ceramic Kilns a residential building they had a kitchen and a bath and what looked like a shop ancient Roman relief depicted a god in the north of England not far from the defensive wall of Hadrian there was a fortified military Camp vendolanda it was built back in 85 A.D to defend against the Celtic tribes of the pits and brigantes from Scotland the fort existed until the 4th Century A.

D and at this place amateur archaeologists found a sculptural relief depicting a naked man with a spear next to a horse or donkey archaeologists have been Excavating here for more than 100 years and during this time they have found thousands of artifacts and the unique ones are exhibited in the British museum a few years ago 25 wooden riding tablets dating back to the first second centuries of our era were found there which were comparable in importance to novguard Birch Bark letters excellent preservation was achieved thanks to the

clay soil now you know that Sans Clays and swamps are the best places to preserve artifacts if you want to leave something for your descendants or at work to archaeologists in the future then bury it and Clay incense or in a swamp and we will return to the study of the ancient plate according to archaeologists usually when people are depicted naked this indicates their belonging to the gods it is not customary to draw an ordinary Cavalry Warrior next to a horse without pants this man has a spear in his hands the

spear was the main attribute of the God of War Mars however some features of the hat look like wings and this is more like the god of travel Mercury the horse and Donkey were also often painted next to Mercury but most of all archaeologists like to interpret the fines according to the place of their Discovery near this place was an ancient Cavalry Barracks the locals could portray an unknown God who had the characteristics of Mars and Mercury but if archaeologists fail to find something similar in the future then this image of

a God can be attributed to an artist’s mistake it’s good that these amateur archaeologists were not fine like our next Heroes also from Britain 18 years in prison and 1.2 million pounds fine in some countries there are very strict rules for Treasure hunters and amateur archaeologists if for example you find a treasure Trove or some ancient artifact and do not report it to the government then you will face a prison or a huge fine in our story two treasure Hunters received both the present sentence and a

huge fine so in 2019 George Powell and Leighton Davis found a treasure in Hertfordshire approximately 5th Century A.D it consisted of a 9th century gold ring a dragon hat bracelet a silver bar dating from the 5th Century a crystal pendant and over 300 coins some of which date back to the reign of King Alfred the Great the treasure was valued at 3 million pounds however historians consider this treasure to be Priceless which it seems to me added even more problems to amateur archaeologists since 1996 there has been a law in the UK that

states that if you find ancient artifacts there are more than 300 years old even one coin you must report it to the appropriate Authority when Powell and Davis found the treasure they decided to sell everything on the black market they were arrested when they were selling the last batch of jewelry they now face 8 and 10 years respectively plus a 1.

2 million pounds fine that they must pay by this spring if they do not pay then their term in prison will increase by four and five years it was seen that the laws are very harsh but there is one more fact if they had immediately told the government about the treasure then after studying and evaluating the property the country’s authorities would have paid each of them 500 000 Pounds Sterling as I understand these guys were just greedy disguise thorus in the Great Wall of China millions of people visit the Great Wall of China every year but researchers

continue to study it and find something new recently employees of Tianjin University found 130 camouflage doors the trick was disappearing or passing through the Chinese wall was demonstrated by the magician David Copperfield and it turns out there is some truth in that the doors are so carefully disguised that they are almost invisible from the outside and if you stand next to the wall and watch you can see how merchants or soldiers approach the wall and disappear or on the contrary appear from nowhere previously

this effect was little studied by official history and these doors were not given much attention to see the hidden passages in the wall the researchers had to shoot in high resolution the doors fit so well into the wall that sometimes even the masonry coincided while the passages were so large that a small herd could pass through previously it was believed that there was no passage in some sections of the wall but now we understand that there are passages everywhere just somewhere they are carefully disguised

such cunning passages and the Very construction of the world 21 000 kilometers long gave the Chinese a huge advantage in Antiquity most likely this is not the last surprise that awaits us while exploring the Great Wall of China and now let’s go to Italy to creepy Cemetery the ominous Cemetery of the revenants the next find May Scare You a little in the central part of Italy archaeologists have excavated in the cemetery in fact this is a common practice in the world of archeology but not all cemeteries are

1 600 years old and not all of them are associated with legends about revenants so in local folklore they called the resin from the graves of the Dead I wanted to say that in ancient times people were more superstitious than in our time but I would most likely be mistaken there have always been superstitious people and human fear has always forced people to commit crazy acts so in ancient Italy people believed that the dead could rise from the graves and so that it doesn’t happen the disease should be buried in a huge Stone
