Germany The only baffling thing that comes from this article is that archaeologists and historians believe Bronze Age human beings to be little more than barbarians who ran around forests chasing animals and each other. It’s not the fault of the article, of course, it’s the general consensus of our arrogant scientific community who strongly … Read More

Turkey Turkey keeps popping up a lot lately but that’s not surprising as it is literally the bridge between East and West and also the home of the oldest structures on planet earth (as accepted thus far by mainstream science – there is an older site in Indonesia but that story is for another day). … Read More

Tibet More anthropological than archaeological but, nevertheless, these videos are absolutely awesome. I have a personal vested interest in Tibet as I have a close friend who is from there, currently exiled in the UK with no hope of any kind of future due to the political situation. He is constantly being forced to either … Read More

Turkey Ancient Gordion, the famed elevated citadel of King Midas, is still giving us valuable historical data. Dating back 4,500 years, the site is located approximately 45 miles south-west of Ankara in western central Turkey. Alfred Körte started excavations in 1900, seven years after he discovered the site. Now, 115 years later, excavations have uncovered … Read More

Russia Throwing up a string of surprises, our friends from the largest country on earth have now produced the world’s oldest geoglyph, up to 4,000 years older than the famous Nazca glyphs! The moose, or should I say elk considering its location, dates from between 4000 – 3000 BC, some 5 to 6,000 years ago, and … Read More

Mexico. Reporting on this excavation last year, archaeologists have now reached the end of the tunnel underneath the Temple of the Serpent at Teotihuacan. Absolutely nothing is known about the culture that built this huge city and its mysteries are baffling even to the most sane. For a start the giant Pyramid of the Sun … Read More

Russia After more than 120 years, archaeologists are still baffled by the structure known as Por-Bajin (Clay House), located in the middle of lake Tuva in high altitude in Siberia. It’s the kind of place one would expect to find in the middle of lake Titicaca in South America, but this beautiful and magical fortress-like … Read More

China Proof is now affirmed that the terracotta army – one of the most incredible archaeological finds in the world – is made of individual soldiers.

Greece. Back to Greece once again and the story I reported here on 30 March, namely that of the stunning tomb that was discovered in the Macedonian part of Greece and dating to the time of Alexander the Psychopath. Oops, sorry, I mean Alexander the Great. A skeleton has now been found, albeit in pieces, … Read More

Greece This beautiful wine cup dates back 2,600 years and may show the earliest Greek visualisation of the constellations. The article questions how the Greeks came to know about the constellations, but common sense suggests that knowledge came from the ancient Egyptians. In fact I don’t think there’s any mystery there at all in that respect. The … Read More

Palestine The amusingly named Antiochia Hippos sits on a hill above the Sea of Galilee, a once formidable Greco-Roman town with a commanding position. Excavations have been underway for some time and a wealth of artefacts are coming to the surface. The site was abandoned in 749 AD after an earthquake, the second to hit … Read More

Jordan These huge circles were first discovered by aircraft in the 1920s but little research has been carried out and not many scientists know about them. Circle building seems to have been a worldwide phenomenon which demands its own answers. We see thousands of stone circles in the UK which date back 5,000 years and … Read More

Indus culture (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, India). The unknown language of the Indus culture, contemporaneous with Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia but four times larger than both, has baffled scientists since the first excavations took place in north-western India. The Indus culture covered what is now the entire land of Pakistan, parts of Afghanistan, Iran and most … Read More

Egypt. The real Tutankhamun? Here is the perfect example of my love / hate relationship with archaeology and science in general. Science is a fundamental tool which the human race needs, there is no doubt about that, but I have many an argument with people who believe science is the only tool worth using. This … Read More

Crete (Greece) Is this the oldest CD-ROM ever found? It certainly operates like one! This incredibly beautiful disc containing symbols that, for more than a hundred years have been completely unknown, have now been deciphered. Well, at least a few of them have. The famous Phaistos Disc, found in 1908 in the town of the … Read More

Ukraine Yet another Trypillian site has been found, this time in Nebelivka, Ukraine. Ukraine might not be on the top of everyone’s lips when it comes to ancient sites but being located across the Black Sea from Turkey, which contains the oldest sites found in the world thus far, it’s not so difficult to see … Read More

Easter Island. This is an astounding discovery because of one little fact that seems to be ignored during the article. I am certainly of the opinion that the Americas were populated much earlier than science accepts thus far. But putting that argument aside for a moment, here it states that contact between Easter Islanders and … Read More

Dating from 550 BC, the area enjoyed nearly 150 of pottery, roof tile and terracotta idol making before the area was destroyed by the invading Carthaginians in 409 BC. No wonder there are … Read More
