Mysterious Ancient Stairs Discovered On The Giza Plateau
A HUGE drawing has been discovered carved into the ground of Hawaiian wasteland, which some believe could be an ancient star map.
Brett Cousins, who runs YouTube channel thirdphaseofmoon, travelled more than an hour after spotting the strange formation on Google Earth.
When he got there, he used his drone to follow the same path he had found on the online mapping site.
And video footage reveals the amazing scenes he uncovered.
The clip shows a three-mile-wide structure, which appears to be man-made.
And Brett thinks it could be a star map used by an advanced ancient society.
"This is one of the oldest areas of Hawaii and this map could date back 100,000-150,000," he revealed.
"To me, it matches up perfectly to ancient star maps we've seen before.
"Why would it only be visible from the sky though? We asked many of the locals and they have never even noticed it.
"Whatever this thing is must have been some kind of message or signal for someone in the sky looking down."
The clip was uploaded to YouTube on October 29, where it has since gained more than 19,000 hits.
And viewers were just as stunned.
"They are similar to Nazcar lines," one pointed out.
Another added: "Very fascinating. Thanks so much. Will be looking forward to more info from you."
And a third claimed: "Awesome Good Job! that just may be the oldest petroglyph on the planet."
The Ancient Greek Fisherman and His Astonishing Villa Mosaics
Phainos was the most famous fisherman of his time who lived in the 2nd century AD in the ancient Greek city of Halicarnassus.
His villa, adorned with astonishing mosaics depicting sea creatures, was accidentally discovered by property developers in 2018.
Phainos was considered the richest fisherman of the Roman period in Halicarnassus, located near the modern Turkish city of Bodrum.
The luxury villa of the ancient Greek fisherman
Moreover, 10 tombs and human remains have also been discovered as well as a well, a Roman bath, marble work that was used in luxury residences back then, pottery, perfume bottles, and fishing equipment.
“The first findings of Phainos, the most famous fisherman of his time, were first discovered in the ancient city of Halicarnassus in 1890s. More mosaics and villa ruins that had the marks of Phainos were later discovered during the excavations at the city center,” archaeologist Candan Temizel said.
He added that “Those findings which have been unearthed should be carefully protected. This invaluable world heritage should be shared.”
Halicarnassus was famous for the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, also known simply as the Tomb of Mausolus, whose name provided the origin of the word “mausoleum”. The mausoleum, built from 353 to 350 BC, is ranked as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Ancient Greeks were particularly fond of fresh fish
Ancient Greeks were gourmands and particularly fond of large fresh fish and eel, according to research headed by zooarchaeologist Dr. Demetra Mylona.
The zooarchaeologist, who does research for the Institute of Aegean Prehistory Study Center for East Crete, is collecting data from written sources, scientific texts and also from the study of ancient remains of fish, such as bones.
“We can also learn a lot from ancient bones of fish brought to light by the archaeologist’s hoe and by the pots in which they were cooked, conducting chemical analysis of food residues,” Mylona told the Athens News Agency.
According to Mylona, the ancient Greeks had a special preference for Aegean fish living in rocks, but also liked fish from the open seas, such as tuna, a sought-after fish. They also liked mackerel, bonito and anchovy, which were abundant during their season and were easy to catch with nets.

It is a quest that has fascinated scholars and adventurers for century after century. What happened to that treasure and centerpiece of ancient Jewish life — the Ark of the Covenant? No one knows what happened to it, but researchers never give up seeking for this, which will no doubt rank among history's greatest finds if it is ever discovered. In this action-packed documentary shown prime time on NBC, Biblical scholar and modern-day "Indiana Jones" Mike Sanders journeys to one of the Middle East's most dangerous territories to find the elusive ancient ark that once held the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments.

Eventually these would be expanded to form elite units of horse and foot companions during the reforms of Philip the second of Macedon.
Why This Highly Advanced Ancient Civilization Disappeared | Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson
While the western Roman empire was falling in Europe, in the Americas one of the most spectacular civilizations was reaching its peak. With advanced astronomical capabilities, a precise calendar system, massive pyramids, and millions of people, the Mayans had no equals in their day. A few hundred years later, the classic Mayan cities emptied, and their written inscriptions ceased. In short order, their enormous temples were swallowed by the jungle and remained hidden under dense foliage for almost a thousand years. Then, in the early 1800s, the mysterious classic Mayan civilization was re-discovered. Why did it disappear?
For decades, mainstream scholars have debated this question without resolution. Now, with new genetic discoveries in hand, this long-standing mystery might finally be resolved. Tune in to find out what happened to the Maya!

Why did the Protestant Reformation Happen?
The Protestant Reformation is widely known for Martin Luther’s publication of his “95 Theses” or “Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences” and marks the second schism of sorts for the Catholic church. In reality, the reformation of western Christianity was long in the making, and Martin Luther was not its only leader…
While many view the start of the Protestant Reformation as having been in 1517 following the publication of Martin Luther’s theses, the actual date of its beginning is somewhat unclear. There were essentially three main reformation movements; one in Germany, one in England, and one in Switzerland - with all of them occurring around the same time in the 16th century.
