There has been an insane amount of discoveries all around the Earth that still remain a mystery.
Some of these scary discoveries can’t even be rationalized or explained by science.
So that just goes to show you that Earth is still a bizarre and crazy world to live in.
How’s it going YouTube?
I’m your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing video.
Before we get started be sure to check out our sister channel called Top 5 scary videos.
They have a bunch of scary and unusual videos that will definitely keep you
up at night.
Alright let’s jump right into this list of the top 10 scariest discoveries found on
earth.
300-year-old child mummy starts this list off in at number 10.
The body of a child that died 300 years ago apparently opened up her eyes in a video.
Let’s take a look.
Her body has been preserved in wax and people in this village treat her as a Catholic saint.
The video was taken on December 12, 2012 by a tourist who couldn’t believe his eyes.
Some pessimistic people believe that this video is a hoax while others think that paranormal
activity is responsible for her eyes opening.
Either way, I think its kinda creepy to have a little girl who was murdered preserved in
wax for hundreds of years and have her displayed in a church.
I think she should be able to rest in peace.
Rolling into number 9 we have the Bosnian Sphere.
This mysterious sphere was discovered in a forest near a Bosnian town and people believe
that this rock could be the oldest stone sphere that was made by humans.
The ball has a radius between four to five feet and it has an extremely high iron content.
One scientist believes that this sphere proves that there was an advanced lost civilization
that dates back more than 1,500 years.
He also believes that this region used to have a lot more of these spheres but they
were ruined because people thought that there was gold hidden inside.
Either way, the discovery of this sphere means that there could have been an ancient civilization
that we have no written records for.
And it also shows us that they were highly advanced and had the technology to create
something like this way before humans ever walked the earth.
Biting into number 8 we have Venetian vampires.
Back in 2006 the skeleton of a woman from the 16th century with a brick in her mouth
was discovered in Venice.
Historians believe that the remains might have belonged to someone who was accused of
being a vampire and this might have been the first vampire burial known in archaeology.
Back in the day, people believed that vampires were behind the spread of plagues such as
the black death so they were heavily feared.
Gravediggers would sometimes come across corpses that were bloated, their hair still growing
or blood seeping from their mouths so they believed that they were still alive and that’s
why they would perform a vampire exorcism and then bury them with bricks in their mouths.
It’s kind of disturbing to see what we used to do in the past.
I wonder what future generations are going to say about us.
Pits of severed hands brings us to number 7.
A team of archaeologists have dug up the skeletons of 16 human hands that were buried in four
separate pits in Egypt.
Oh, and all of them were the right hands, no lefts.
Most of the hands were actually really large.
Apparently, soldiers would present a cut off right hand of an enemy in exchange for gold
and they also used this as a way to count how many victims they killed.
This ritual also was significant because they believed that by cutting off an enemy’s
right hand, you are taking away their strength and power.
The Mount Owen Moa claw brings us to number 6.
This insanely large claw was discovered in the caves of Mount Owen located in New Zealand.
Archeologists were really surprised when they found this claw because it was extremely preserved.
The flesh and muscles were still attached to it.
When they took this massive claw back to be examined, it was later concluded that it belonged
to the Moa bird which was wingless bird that disappeared from Earth 2000 years ago.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how big this claw is?
It looks big enough to pick up a grown man.
The Moa was a heavy bird that measured up to 12 feet in height and it weight nearly
250kg.
They went extinct because of excessive hunting by humans.
If you want to see this ginormous claw in person, you can do that at the natural history
museum in New Zealand.
Moving on to number 5 we have a massive finger.
No seriously, take a look at this thing.
This is a huge mummified human looking finger that measures in at 38 cm in length.
Many people believed that this was a hoax, but upon further research and examination,
scientists have given it a certificate of authenticity and x-ray images.
Researchers from Egypt believe that this huge finger belonged to a creature that was over
5 meters in height.
The owner of the finger was apparently a grave robber that found this thing while searching
through a tomb in Egypt.
Well hopefully this creature isn’t still out there roaming the Earth, looking for its
next victim.
Nazca Lines make an appearance in at number 4.
The Nazca Lines are famous world wide that can be found in the southern desert region
of Peru.
These lines are massive drawings in the soil that are known as geoglyphs.
These designs were carved sometime around 1-700 AD and some of them are up to 1,200
feet and there are over 300 of them.
The designs are all very different.
Some of them are spirals or they are more intricate ones that are shaped like animals
or flowers.
They are best seen from above like in a plane or satellite.
The Nazca Lines were designated as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1994 but their origins
still remain a massive mystery.
Some archeologists believe that they are used as some sort of astronomy related purpose,
some believe that they were used in some sort of ritual and then there are some people who
believe that aliens are behind the Nazca lines.
But no one knows anything for certain.
Mohenjo-Daro lands into our number 3 spot.
This archaeological site is considered to be one of the best examples of ancient alien
contact.
Ancient astronaut theorists claim that thousands of years ago, advanced alien civilizations
visited Earth and they set off a lot of nuclear bombs in order to destroy this city.
The ruins of the city were discovered in 1922 and they were able to see hundreds of skeletons
scattered around the city as if some horrible event had just taken place.
These bodies were some of the most radioactive ones ever found and it was believed that this
ancient city in Pakistan was destroyed in an instant by an incredible explosion that
could have only been by some sort of atomic bomb.
Which is super strange considering this city was built in 2600 BC.
Floating into number 2 we have alien skulls.
Residents in a small Mexican village of Onavas made a shocking discovery while they were
trying to build an irrigation canal.
They found deformed skulls that were warped into strange looking alien heads in a 1,000-year-old
cemetery.
There were 25 human burials and 13 of them had these strange looking alien heads.
They thought that these were corpses belonged to an unknown species.
Their skulls were elongated, pointy at the back and their teeth were mutilated.
When people came in to investigate this discovery it was later concluded that these skulls belonged
to humans but their heads were mutilated in some sort of ancient ritual.
And now in at number 1 things get really creepy with the Grauballe man.
This corpse looks like he was taken from a horror movie.
He was discovered in a bog located in Denmark back in 1952.
Experts believe that his throat had been slit and his remains were dumped in a bog sometime
in the 3rd century BC which is over 2000 years ago!
They also believe that he was apart of some ritualistic human sacrifice.
The Grauballe man is considered to be one of the best discoveries in Denmark’s prehistory
because his body is exceptionally preserved.
They were even able to take the mans finger prints because his body was in really good
condition.
Well there you guys have it…
