Here you will get to know six ancient works that have created many questions and puzzles for archaeologists for different reasons.
Electronic Journal of the World of Touring, quoted by Faradid – Countless ancient artifacts have been discovered all over the world, which have greatly increased our knowledge about the lives of ancient people. But there are works that surprise and amaze us because of their secrets and mysteries more than they are informative.
Here we introduce some important ancient works that, despite all the knowledge we have about them, still hide many secrets.
Stonehenge, England-1
The Stonehenge stone monument located in the Wiltshire region of England was probably built 5000 years ago; This era was probably the era of hunters and itinerant food seekers. But the mystery that surprises archaeologists is how such a magnificent and detailed building was built by primitive people using very primitive tools. Interestingly, in the area around Stonehenge, remains of other buildings such as wooden structures and stone walls have been found. What was it about this area that made it so attractive to people thousands of years ago?
2-Çatal Hoyuk, Turkey
So far, many ancient cities have been discovered in different parts of the world, but Çatalhöyük is one of the most ancient. This city was built about 9 thousand years ago; That is, when writing, wheels and metals were not yet discovered. One of the wonders of this city is that there were no alleys or streets between its houses and the entrance to the houses was through a ladder that reached a hole in the roof of the house. The residents of this city have buried their dead under their houses. How this city was designed and built in that era is one of the wonders and mysteries of archeology knowledge.
3-Snake Hill, USA
This hill is actually an ancient work that dates back to 320 years BC. The snake-like mound created on this hill is 411 meters long and was probably created by the Adena people (a group of Native Americans). Studies show that the curves of the body of this huge snake are precisely adjusted according to the position of the sun in the sky throughout the year. If a straight line passes through the curves of this snake’s body, it will accurately show the geographical north direction.
4-Nazca Lines, Peru
In the Nazca desert in the south of Peru, there are shapes that can be called the most mysterious pictures in the world. These huge shapes, which are sometimes up to seventy meters long, were created by removing colored stones on the ground in the heart of the desert. The people who created these shapes around 200 BC could not see them properly, because they can only be seen from the sky. So why have they done such a laborious task? So far, many hypotheses have been proposed about this, but it is still a mystery in the realm of archeology.
5-Gantija Temples, Malta
These temples date back to about 4500 to 5600 years ago; That is, even before the stone monument of Stonehenge and before the pyramids of Egypt. The local legends of Malta say that these temples were built by giants, and this is because of the astonishing grandeur of the structures. These buildings are most likely and based on the evidence found, related to the performance of rituals that were performed in relation to the “fertility ritual”. Moving the huge stones of this temple at a time when even the wheel was not invented and there were no metal tools for stone cutting is a great wonder.
6-Scarborough, Scotland
This ancient settlement, which was built around 5100 years ago, is another amazing ancient building in the world. The oldest toilets in the world have been found in this settlement; Toilets whose sewage was transported to the ocean through drains. These ancient buildings, which have remained very intact due to being buried in the sand, are known as the “Pompeii of Scotland”. Based on the findings, it seems that the residents of this city quickly left their place of residence for an unknown reason and went to another place.
