[CRUNCH] 10 UNEXPLAINED Discoveries That SCARE Scientists
Science keeps making amazing discoveries that we can’t keep up with, and sometimes, even
they can’t keep up with them. Let's explore 10 Unexplained Discoveries that SCARE Scientists:
10. Blue Dogs in India
There are lots of different dog breeds and at this point, most people can name at least
5. Dog breeds can come in all kinds of different shapes, sizes, and colors, but no one ever
thought of a dog being blue. Well, in the largest city of India, Mumbai, which also
has one of the largest stray dog populations in the world, locals started noticing something
really strange with the stray dogs in their areas, they were blue. At first, it seemed
like a joke, but eventually, more and more people started to notice blue dogs walking
around all over the place. There were even a few scientists involved who conducted a
lot of tests on these strange dogs. As it turned out, their weird blue color wasn’t
the result of natural factors, but because these dogs were swimming and living around
rivers that were heavily polluted by nearby factories and they were having disastrous
effects on the local dog population.
9. Stonehenge
One of the most famous monuments to come out of prehistoric Europe, that we know of today,
is probably the Stonehenge. While on the surface, it looks like a bunch of rocks randomly put
next to each other, it may have been something more significant. There are many theories
as to why the Stonehenge was built, one of the more popular ones being that it was a
place of worship for the ancient religion of the time, but some conspiracy theorists
believe it might have actually been built by aliens or some other sort of extraterrestrial
creatures. While scientists believe it’s highly unlikely that’s the case, they haven’t
outright denied any outside help in the creation of this structure, nor do they know exactly
how and why such a structure was built, which makes it the perfect structure for all of
our mysterious theories.
8. The Antikythera mechanism
When we think of computers, we usually think of the technological progress we made within
the 20th century and beyond, we don't necessarily think of ancient Greece, but in reality, there
were computers that existed even before the 20th century, thousands of years ago. One
of ancient Greece’s most astonishing artifacts that we were able to discover was the Antikythera
mechanism. The Antikythera mechanism was a fully functional analog computer that was
built all the way back in 87 BCE, but it may be as old as 205 BC according to some historians.
This is by far the earliest computer that has ever been discovered, and it was actually
capable of some pretty crazy stuff, such as being able to predict astrological positions
wherever you are, and also being able to predict solar and lunar eclipses months in advance.
It was surprisingly complex, and something of this scale wouldn’t be built for over
a thousand years later.
7. London Hammer
In the mid 1930s, a British couple was out on their daily walk when they came across
a strange object along the way. It was a strange rock with some sort of wood coming out of
it. They took the object home as they assumed it must’ve been a hammer from a few hundred
years ago, or even, at best, a few thousand years ago. Either way, it would’ve been
a great discovery, but after they contacted some archaeologists to get an actual date
on the thing, you wouldn’t believe what they were told. The hammer that they found
on a simple walk ended up being hundreds of millions of years old. What’s incredible
about this hammer is that it was built in a way that was previously thought to be impossible
500 million years ago, and used technology we thought was way more recent. This hammer
proved to the scientists themselves that we know far less about our history than we think.
6. 8 year old girl fossil
In 2018, scientists who were studying archaeology sites in Sweden were looking for more clues
on what daily life was like in the area thousands of years ago. They came across many artifacts,
such as homes, artwork, and weapons, and one of these weapons may have accidentally taken
the life of an eight year old child. They discovered the fossilized remains of an 8
year old girl, who seemed to have died after they accidentally stepped on an old sword
she found, bleeding to death. What’s insane is that these sites were supposed to be from
well before the viking era, hundreds of years before it, but the sword she fell on seemed
like it could’ve been from the Viking era as well. Either the pre-Viking era of Sweden
was more advanced than we thought, or there were some Viking time travelers who went and
put the sword there, we’re gonna go with the previous option.
5. The Dropa Stones
One of the most mysterious discoveries of the 21st century were the Dropa Stones, found
in an archaeological expedition in China in the 1930s. The expedition was led by archaeologist
Dr. Chi Pu Tei, who found hundreds of these strange stones with unexplainable design patterns
on them. They were dated back to at least 10,000 years ago, and Dr. Chi Pu Tei, after
carefully deciphering the stones, found out that they tell a story of how spaceships crashed
into the mountains of the ancient Dopra people. There was a lot of confusion at first, which
led to a lot of ridicule for the doctor, but to this day, many people believe this story.
Eventually, the disks were sent to the Soviet Union for further research, where the findings
were kept hidden from the public, never to be revealed to this day.
4. Baghdad Battery
Batteries are a really recent phenomenon, being able to charge an electronic device
and take it wherever you want is something we all take for granted, but what if we told
you some people may have come up with the battery concept before we even had electricity?
Some wacky guys in Baghdad might’ve made something like that over 2,000 years ago!
The Baghdad battery consisted of a ceramic pot, a copper tube, and an iron rod, and when
used together, these could actually work as a battery. In fact, researchers have even
reconstructed this 2,000 year old battery and concluded that it was, indeed, as perfect
as a battery of that time could be. No one knows why this “battery” was used, as
such an electroplated object of that time has ever been discovered before, that will
probably remain a mystery forever.
3. Strange Spirals
One of the most popular conspiracy theories to exist are crop circles and strange spirals,
and their connection to potential extraterrestrial life. These strange formations keep appearing
all over the earth, and some of them are completely natural! To this day, scientists haven’t
been able to figure out exactly why these mysterious spirals are so common, and over
time, there have been many hoaxes related to them, but you have to admit that it seems
there is something much more sinister behind these mysterious formations popping up in
random areas of the world. Do you have a theory about any of these spirals? Let us know in
the comments below!
2. The Saqqara Bird
Humankind was always intrigued by the concept of flying, and we weren’t able to fly ourselves
until very recently, but what if we told you there was an object that strikingly resembles
a modern aircraft found in ancient Egyptian ruins, dating back thousands of years? This
ancient item may seem like a small, although detailed, bird replica, it actually had very
similar dimensions to a modern airplane. In fact, if it had a jet engine, this would even
be able to fly on its own! So what was the purpose of the Saqqara Bird? No one knows,
but it gave scientists more of an insight into how ancient Egyptians saw aviation.
1. Yonaguni Monument
The Yonaguni Monument is one of the most mysterious structures discovered in the late 20th century
was the Yonaguni Monument. Accidentally discovered in the 1980s, this structure was completely
underwater, and seemed to show an entire building, with stairways and pillars. Even though it
seemed man-made, scientists concluded it must’ve been a natural rock formation, but people
aren’t letting this Asian Atlantis go, many people still believe it’s evidence of some
sort of underwater community off the coast of Japan. When taking a look at the pictures
of the monument, we’re actually inclined to believe the conspiracy theorists.
