Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet, I am your host Rebecca
Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Sites That Could REWRITE History…
Before we get started, though, I just want to tell you about a brand new channel we have
called Fornite Central!
If you love gaming and you love fornite, this is the perfect place for you.
Also, if you enjoy Landon….
Then there is even more reason to check the channel out, because he is the one playing.
Soo… the top 10 ancient sites that can rewrite history….some of these have been found,
others lay awaiting discovery.
10 - Stone Henge We haven’t yet solved the mystery of Stonge
Henge, a prehistoric stone circle made of 13 ft, 60 thousand pound stones situated on
the Salisbury Plains in England.
The stones date back to around 2400 BC, at which time all historical knowledge suggests
that humans would not have had the man power to construct such a site.
The area has been a focus of archeological interest for hundreds of years, and perhaps
one day we will finally have an answer as to how and why the stones are there.
This answer may well change what we know about our ancestors, or feed into a few wilder conspiracies
that could change what we know about the planet.
Predating Stonehenge by 6,000 years, we have the Gobekli
Tepe at number 9.
The discovery of the Gobekli Tepe in Turkey changed history.
Prior to the discovery of the 11 thousand year old structure, humans were thought to
have been a lot more primitive than they must have been to make this building.
The ruins are so old that they pre-date the Pyramids, as well as simple things like villages,
pottery, domestic animals and agriculture.
The area is being excavated by archeologists, led by German Klaus Schmidt, and could one
day tell us more about our ancestors and what they were up to in Turkey.
8 - Antikythera Mechanism The Antikythera Mechanism was found in 1900
in the sunken wreckage of ancient Greek Ship, found off the coast of Crete.
The device was largely ignored for 75 years and not decoded until around 2006.
The Device changed the way we perceived our ancestors as it seems they were much more
intelligent than they thought.
Made thousands of years before its discovery, the device is considered to be the worlds
first computer.
The device calculated celestial information including phases of the moon and luni solar
calendars.
The mechanism was so advance, nothing came close to it in terms of tech for at least
another 1,500 years.
The discovery goes to show that the middle ages really were harmful to human progression
and that the Ancient Greeks were one of the smartest civilisations.
How can we apply what we know now to our life today?
7 - Cleopatra’s Tomb Cleopatra’s Tomb has been missing in action
for over 2,000 years.
We know from studying ancient Egypt that she was supposed to be the last pharaoh and she
has been much discussed in history as a beauty and temptress.
Historically, it is said that the last Queen of Egypt killed her self, some say by encouraging
a poisonous snake to bite her, however nobody has ever found her tomb.
Until Cleopatra’s tomb is found…if indeed it ever is… history surrounding one of the
most famous Queens of all time remains murky.
If and when it is found, who knows what ancient secrets will be uncovered with it.
6 - The Lost City of Atlantis The illusive Lost City of Atlantis was discussed
by the otherwise credible Greek Philopshopher, Plato.
Atlantis was said to be a thriving city that had fallen upon misfortune and sunk.
The location given by Plato can these days be traced to the Straits of Gibraltar, the
sea separating Spain and Africa.
The city has been much searched for, but has yet to be found, leading many historians to
write it off as myth.
However, if it were to be found, the site could totally re-write history and we could
come across a missing civilisation that at present we know nothing about.
5 - Khatt Shebib The Khatt Shebib is a 93 mile long ancient
wall in Jordan and archeologists are puzzled by questions of who could have built it and
what purpose it serves.
The wall was first spotted by British Diplomat, Sir Alec Kirkbride, who was flying over the
country.
When archeologists began studying the site, they found an area where two walls ran together
side by side.
Remains of two towers have also been found, that have allowed archeologists to predict
it was built somewhere between 300 BC and 600 AD…which is almost a 1000 year window.
The wall is small in height, meaning it probably wasn’t used for defence… but once again,
the true purpose remains a total history.
The Khatt Shebib isn’t the only strange structure in Jordan….
4 - Giant Circles These giant stone circles are a huge mystery
that have baffled scientists and archeologists.
Found in lava fields, these stone structures vary between circular, wheel looking shapes,
kites and walls.
They are at least 2000 years old and researches have no idea who built them and why – they
are definitely too low to pen animals.
What is puzzling archeologists is the near perfect shape of the circles, which would
have been near on impossible to create back in those days.
As of yet, we don’t have an answer here… but when we do, it could be a game changer.
3 - Nazca Lines The Nazca lines are giant design motifs etched
into the ground south of Lima in Peru.
As of the filming of this video, new lines are still being discovered and people are
baffled by them.
The Geoglyphs date back from around 500 BCE to 200 CE and archeologists are still baffled
as to how and why they are there and are working on an answer.
Of course, as with all things we cant explain yet, some conspiracists are pointing to aliens.
2 - Barringer Meteroite Crater This excites me the most!
The Barringer Meteroite Crater in Winslow Arizona formed 50 thousand years ago.
Scientists are studying the crater with keen interest as they probe the dent to find out
more about our own planetary history and also for clues about our wider universe.
Obviously a meteorite is a foreign body rock from out of space.
Crashing into earth – there is a lot to be discovered about space matter.
Also, refining the age of the impact will help geologists understand what else was going
on on earth at the time.
1 - Ancient Soil Under Greenland Ice Sheet Okay, forget concrete, wood and stone buildings….the
building blocks of nature are concealing some major secrets that could re-write our history
and what we know about the earth…we aren’t just talking learning what the world was like
a few thousand or even hundreds of thousands of years ago – the soil under the Greenland
ice sheet dates back 2.7 Million, so beyond the dawn of man kind.
This discovery has lead to our re-evaluation of the ice sheet, that we now know has never
fully melted, but is at risk of melting now due to human activity.
Beyond that, studying soil from so long ago can seriously aid scientists in understanding
the formation of our planet….which has the potentiality to rewrite history as we know
it.
So that was the Top 10 Archeological sites that could re-write history.
