Don’t you believe that Atlantis existed? Maybe you have doubts about who discovered America?
Almost every year, scientists make new discoveries that often contradict what’s written in history textbooks. Take a look at 13 astounding discoveries that will make you rethink your whole knowledge system!

SUMMARY
– In 2012 in Dawson County, Montana, paleontologist Otis E. Kline, Jr. discovered a Triceratops brow horn. After thorough research, scientists claimed that the horn could be dated to around 33,500 years ago.
– Although today 98% of Antarctica is covered with solid ice, scientists think that 50 million years ago the south pole was a tropical island. Having explored the territory, they found the fossilized remains of thermophilous plants — baobabs and ferns — as well as the ancient reptile ichthyosaur, which lived in warm areas.
– There are suggestions that the Romans landed in America much earlier than Columbus did. In 1933, a tiny head sculpture was found under an old building in Mexico. The head’s facial features matched those of Roman artifacts created in the 2nd century BC, and it looked nothing like the works of local artists of that time.
– Another unsolved mystery that baffles many scientists is the origin of the giant stone spheres found in Costa Rica. Their shape is perfectly round (like Charlie Brown’s head), and they are made of different materials: limestone, sandstone, and magmatic rock. Their approximate weight is 16 tons each.
– Everyone knows the Egyptian pyramids. They are perhaps the most massive and unique structures on the planet. However, in 2015, amateur archaeologist Semir Osmanagić made a sensational discovery: people built pyramids in Bosnia long before the construction of the Pyramids of Giza.
– The existence of the legendary Atlantis still bothers many scientists and archaeologists. However, a recent discovery might end this endless dispute. Diver Franco Cassarino made an amazing find near the coast of Gela in Sicily: 39 ingots under a 2,600-year-old shipwreck.
– Previously in our video, we have established that not Columbus but the Romans discovered America. But wait a bit! In several US states, scientists have found thousands of carved stone drawings. Some of them were identified as ancient Chinese scripts.
– The data from the artificial satellites and the Mars Rovers confirms that Mars used to have a higher surface temperature, and it was covered with water. This new data suggests that Mars could have been inhabited millions of years ago.
– Baghdad battery is one of the most curious discoveries of the modern times. It really is a battery built to create electricity. The power of ten such batteries put together was only 4 and a half volts (seemingly nothing if you compare it with the modern ones), but, in fact, they could actually be used by people of the past to power something.
– In 1901, in Greek shipwreck archeologists made an interesting discovery. They found a very intriguing mechanism. Not all of its purposes and uses have been discovered yet: it consists of intricate gears that interlock and are covered with some mysterious inscriptions.
– The pilots of the 20th century saw from the sky huge formations made from the rocks put in lines. Such strange constructions could be found in the deserts of Israel, Egypt, and Jordan. Later it was discovered that these mysterious formations were nothing else but ancient traps for animals.
– It was the discovery made in 2003 on Flores island, in Indonesia. Tiny human skulls were found there by a group of scientists. These little versions were just like our modern skulls but belonged to tiny people – their height was about three and a half feet.
– The exact purpose of this wall keeps archeologists confused. It is not the fact that not much is left of this construction, which dates between 300 BC and 100 AD. It is considered the most puzzling wall ever built because even in its best times, it wasn’t higher than 3,3 feet.
