Scientists Are Discovering Artifacts All Over The World That Should Never Have Been Found!

Max Hahn and his wife Emma were on a stroll in June of 1936 when they came across a rock with a piece of wood sticking out of its center. They took the peculiar item home and later opened it with a hammer and chisel. Strangely, what they discovered inside resembled a hammer from the ancient world. After handing it over to a group of archaeologists for examination, they learned that the rock casing the hammer dated back more than 400 million years to the Ordovician period!

The accuracy of that dating has been called into question, but here's the kicker: preliminary estimations put the age of the hammer at more than 500 million years. The handle is so ancient that it has already begun to coalify in places. It didn't take long for creationists to jump on this, and in the 1980s, creationist Carl Baugh used the hammer as a springboard for his conjecture about how the Earth's atmosphere before the flood would have fostered the development of giants. The iron used to make the hammer's head is purer than anything nature could produce without human intervention.

Scientists Terrifying New Discovery Hidden Under the Amazon

The Nuragic Civilisation of Bronze Age Sardinia

Three thousand years ago, on the island of Sardinia, flourished a remarkable society.

Right across the island, between about 1800 BC to 800 BC, they constructed around ten thousand astonishing stone structures called nuraghes. The ruins of around 7,000 of these structures can be seen today.

Evidence for the kind of society this was, is also seen in the unique bronze figurines and models that they left behind. Hundreds of these show armoured warriors bearing bows, swords and shields, along with the horned helmets they wore into battle.

This society reached its peak in the late bronze age when their influence spread beyond their home island. Sardinian material culture from this era is found as far away as Crete while at the same time Mycenaean pottery and Cypriot bronzes appear all over Sardinia.

So who were these people? Why did they build thousands of these enormous, complex structures? Were they really as warlike as their figurines suggest? And what happened to them?

This is the story of the Nuragic Civilisation.

5 Unexplained Things Found in the Middle of Nowhere

In 1987, when the lawyer and explorer Dr. Oscar Padilla received a particular photograph that had allegedly been taken in the 1950s, his interest was piqued.

The photo, taken in the deepest jungles of Guatemala, depicted a large stone head, looking up toward the sky. Most unusual, however, was the fact that this head had predominantly Caucasian features, rendering it inconsistent with comparable discoveries.

Later, Dr Padilla was tracked down by the well-known author and explorer David Childress, who sought further confirmation of the mysterious statue.

Despite the photographer mysteriously dropping dead shortly after taking the picture, Padilla claimed to have found the family on whose land the stone head was situated, at least 10 kilometers from the nearest village. However, when he had reached the site of the stone head, he found it to have been ravaged.

Padilla stated that, quote, “It was destroyed by revolutionaries about ten years ago. We had located the statue too late..."
