6 Mysterious Historical Discoveries of 2015

February 21, 2024

In this video, we explore the intriguing encounters historians and archaeologists often have with enigmatic discoveries while delving into historical texts or unearthing ancient remains. Some of the most baffling historical findings and revelations of 2015 include:

  1. A rare metal believed to be from Atlantis was salvaged from a shipwreck off the Sicilian coast. The metal, likely originating from Greece or Asia Minor, was possibly en route to port when it encountered a storm.

  2. Mysterious stone discs, estimated to be around a million years old, were unearthed in Russia's Vrad region. Containing traces of the metal tonson, these discs fuel speculation about extraterrestrial involvement in their creation.

  3. Inside a 1,000-year-old Buddha statue in China, researchers discovered the mummified remains of a monk, possibly indicative of a form of self-mummification practiced by ancient monks.

  4. Thermal irregularities detected within the Great Pyramid of Giza hinted at potential hidden chambers or treasures concealed within its structure, offering tantalizing prospects for further exploration.

  5. Uncovered in the Turpan Basin of northwestern China were approximately 200 mysterious stone circles, potentially dating back as far as 4,500 years, adding to the area's mystique and historical significance.

  6. New evidence suggests that Stonehenge may have had its origins in Wales, challenging previous assumptions about its construction and purpose.
