What Are Some Strange Archeology Finds?

There are many strange and seemingly unexplainable archaeological finds out there. Most of them involve technologies that were not believed to be around at the time or show things that happened before the beginning of civilization. Let’s look at a few of these bizarre finds both in sites and artifacts.     

Peru

To look at some strange archeology finds you can start with a journey to Peru:

  • The rock carvings at Marcahuasi are very strange and have been researched extensively. 
  • They were discovered in 1952 by Daniel Ruzo and what is interesting is that they are representations of people and animals that are not native to the area. That would suggest some kind of contact with other parts of the world.

Egypt

Mysteries abound in Egypt and one of them is the amount of stoneware that is not primitive but needed advanced technology to make. 

  • There are vessels made of a very hard stone that have a narrow opening at the top but are round and smooth. The technology to make such a vase does not exist today.
  • There are bowls and containers from ancient Egypt that cannot be duplicated with our modern technology.

Giant Remains

No list of strange archeology finds would be complete without mentioning the giants. 

  • A giant is considered to be a humanoid form anywhere from seven to twelve feet tall. 
  • Giant remains have been found in California, West Virginia, Ohio, and Louisiana. 
  • A cave was also discovered in Nevada where many of these remains were found.

Strange and Puzzling Archeology Finds

Now that your appetite has been whetted with these finds, let’s look at more strange artifacts and archeology finds. 

Dropa Stones

Hundreds of these stones were found in a cave in China.

  • They are round stone disks with a hole in the middle resembling a phonograph record. 
  • They are at least 10,000 years old and the etched grooves that spiral from the center to the outside contain tiny hieroglyphics that tell a story of alien spacecraft crash landing in the mountains. 
  • The language was translated by 1962 but was not allowed to be published for some time. 

Also found were skeletons of beings three feet tall with enlarged heads.  These people were named Dropa and could not repair their ship so they had to live out their lives here. The natives hunted down and killed most of the Dropa.

Model Airplanes

There have been artifacts found in Egypt and Central America that look like airplanes. 

  • The one in Egypt was made of wood and the one in Central America was made of gold. 
  • It resembles a delta wing airplane and even has a pilot’s seat.  It is estimated to be 1000 years old.  

Really Old Fossils

A fossil of a human hand print was estimated to be 110 million years old and a fossil of a footprint, which may have been wearing a sandal, was estimated to be at least 300 million years old.

Metal Objects

There have been metal objects found in rock dating back to the Mesozoic Era, which was more than 65 million years ago. 

  • Metal tubes were found in France, metal pots, nails, and metal cubes have been found in other places.

Giant Stone Balls of Costa Rica

These are perfectly spherical balls of stone and vary in size from a few inches in diameter to eight feet and can weigh 16 tons. Researchers are clueless about how they were made or why.

Antikythera Mechanism

Antikythera is a small island near Crete and a bronze object was found near there that has intricate gear work. 

  • It was estimated to have been made in 80 BC and has a very sophisticated network of gears and wheels. 
  • This kind of technology did not exist until the 1500s.

Coso Artifact

A small relic was found in California inside a rock that remains a mystery. 

  • It is a metal mechanical device with porcelain and copper that shows no corrosion. 
  • It resembles a spark plug and is some kind of electrical device. 
  • There are two strange things about it.  It contains a substance that we can’t identify and it was encased in a stone that is 500,000 years old.   

So, now you know about some strange archeology finds. Of course, there may even be more out there that is strange and unexplained.
