AI 3D-Scans FINALLY Decoded Stonehenge Mystery — And The Result Is SHOCKING [35:58]
AI 3D-Scans FINALLY Decoded Stonehenge Mystery — And The Result Is SHOCKING [35:58]
Advanced AI has analyzed Stonehenge with millimeter precision—and what it found challenges everything we thought we knew. The stones encode mathematical knowledge that shouldn't exist for another 2,000 years, acoustic engineering that rivals modern cathedrals, and astronomical alignments tracking cycles lost until today. But the most disturbing discovery? The earliest work shows the HIGHEST precision, then skills decline over centuries—as if the builders were preserving knowledge they were already losing.

Mysterious holes in the Andes may have been an ancient marketplace, study suggests
Mysterious holes in the Andes may have been an ancient marketplace, study suggests
New research published in Antiquity by Dr Jacob Bongers at the University of Sydney has uncovered compelling evidence that brings us closer to solving the mystery behind one of the most unique archaeological sites in the Andes. Monte Sierpe (translated as ‘serpent mountain’ and known colloquially as the ‘Band of Holes’) is located in the Pisco Valley of southern Peru and consists of over 5000 precisely aligned holes.

Hieroglyphic texts found elsewhere at Caracol refer to Te K’ab Chaak as the founder of the dynasty that ruled the city for more than 460 years and say that his reign began around A.D. 331. The tomb itself contains no writings identifying who was buried there, so the researchers rely on timing to make this claim.

A pivot point in Maya history: fire-burning event at K'anwitznal (Ucanal) and the making of a new era of political rule - Volume 98 Issue 399
Rather than examine this event as part of a Classic period Maya collapse, the authors propose that it was a revolutionary pivot point around which the K'anwitznal polity reinvented itself

6 Things You Didn’t Know About the Rosetta Stone — History Facts
The Rosetta Stone, an ancient artifact discovered in Rosetta, Egypt, in 1799, was the key to unlocking the centuries-old mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphics. The black granite stone is a “stela” — a large standing slab used by ancient civilizations as a marker, typically for dedications or commemorations — inscribed with a text known as the “Decree of Memphis.” The text is, frankly, somewhat dull: It outlines the achievements of Ptolemy V Epiphanes, who ruled Egypt from 205 to 180 BCE. However, it’s not the subject of the stone but the script itself that is important.  The text is written in both Egyptian hieroglyphs and ancient Greek script. Because the ancient Greek and modern Greek languages are so similar, the Greek inscription served as the starting point for translating the Rosetta Stone. Using the Greek script, researchers translated the language of ancient Egypt for the ...Read More
