12 Most Incredible Archaeological Finds

January 16, 2024

This video presents a collection of incredible archaeological discoveries from around the world. The first discovery is a cache of beer bottles found at the site of the old Scarboro Castle Inn in Leeds, England, which had been bottled and stored in the 19th century. The beer was found to be 0.15% lead, which would be poisonous if consumed.

The second discovery is a 2,000-year-old bronze ring featuring a stunning solitaire gemstone found in what is thought to be an ancient ritual bath in the city of David, Israel.

The third discovery is a tomb in Israel that may be the fabled Lost Tomb of the Maccabees. Experts are still debating whether the tomb they found in 2015 was the real thing or not.

The fourth discovery is a pair of tombs buried below the city of Xiang in China, one of which is cylindrical and the other a pyramid.

The fifth discovery is a recreation of ancient wall paintings found in a mysterious tomb in Shanxi, China. Enjoy!
