During my Crete vacation 3 years ago, I went to Knossos and it was very interesting. The archeologic musem nearby, in Heraklion, was boring as hell, though.
Enjoyed The narrating of this video. She did a nice job. It’s funny though how what we view as “facts”, becomes laughable shortly after. For instance JWT has proven the “facts” of how the Big Bang worked, wrong. It will be the same…with the “theory” of evolution. There’s as much blind faith in this theory as those who say “once saved always saved”…. “The blind leading the blind, both will fall into the pit.”
Göbekli Tepe should be way higher than 20th. First ever known temple, first signs of religion, first known human settlement, first known monolith... 20th on the list? Cmon guys.
The order is irrelevant. The point is these are all equally important finds. The fact is you could produce multiple top 20 important archeological finds without repeating a single one that are all equally important and just as interesting.
Went to Gobekli Tepe the other year, the sheer mystical feeling there had me in awe, almost 10,000 BC, insane what humans were capable of even then it’s incomprehensible
I think Gobekli Tepe is by far the most significant of the 20. While I have a deep appreciation for all archaeology, Gobekli Tepe challenges what we think we know about ancient humans. This site predates many ancient civilizations by 6-7000 years. The monoliths weighed tens of tons. It really doesn’t add up that hunter gatherers constructed this marvelous site. This challenges our knowledge and excites me!
Other than the obvious fact that we know a bit and a lot more is left to understand from all of the 20 . I believe Lucy and other "records of information" deserve to be higher up because of the amount of information that can be or has been decoded from it and it's contribution to the gaps of our understanding that has or is expected to fill. Gobekli tepe is greatly important, arguably the most in terms of history due to its unique nature, the Rosetta stone beats it in terms of contribution to humanity as it has a good chance of helping us unlock a massive treasure trove of information that is staring at our face with no means to unlock it.
People never talk about Herculaneum, the town up the coast from Pompeii. They found the most amazingly preserved artifacts and humans. They found statues that I’ve always believed were white were actually colorfully painted. Beautifully painted furniture. They were able to analyze the sewers to determine local diets for both upper class and lower class people. Truly more astonishing than Pompeii, imo. If you’ve not heard of it, I’d highly recommend YouTubing a documentary! Edited for nitpicking. The point is it’s a cool discovery that a lot of people don’t know about. Like jfc touch some grass.
Yeah they do. I just watched a documentary all about Herculaneum. It was very interesting and seemed like it had much more interesting, beautiful things compared to Pompeii I thought anyway.
I'd say Gobekli Tepe is one of, if not the most, important discoveries ever made. The site literally turned what we understood as "ancient history" on it's head.
I agree. Not only the fact it was built so early - but that they actually purposefully buried it so that it could exist today in the manner of a giant time capsule.
@@t2av159Yes they do but scientists looked at how it was buried and realized it wasn’t a natural burial over time. It seemed very intentional and done so they could preserve it for us. That place is weird. It defies all we knew ab history and when civilization started. And it shows us pictures of things they should not have known giving science and astronomy should not have existed then. This place predates the pyramids by like 7,000 years like the place makes no sense it shouldn’t exist. You really think it could’ve been preserved THAT well for over 12,000 years just by nature burying it like that for the whole time?
Cave art is a very important part of History. It was humanity's first way of documenting events in history. If it wasn't for cave art then Jon Snow may have never convinced Daenerys to help them fight the Night King and we wouldn't even be here.

It's by far not the only one. There's for example the Behistun inscription in Old persian, Elamitic and Babylonian language. This was the final point to finally understand the cuniform scripted languages. The Letoon trilingie is written in old greek, lykian and aramean language. The Myazedi insciption is even a Quattrolingue in Pali, Pyu, Mon, and Birmanian. It was the key to understand Pyu.
I would be cool if you also do one of this with all the archeological findings un the Americas, not just Asia and Europe. South America also have mummies, one of the oldest cities in the world.
I’m a huge history/genealogy/archaeology fan . I would have loved to dig with Mick Aston (RIP) or Phil Harding both from time team. Archaeology is brilliant m, just seeing and then holding history in your hands
I remember in school (around 2nd or 3rd grade) we were taught that the bible was accurate to history 😂 and then ofc around 2008 or so our school had to re-teach us about history. Some of us were kinda confused, but i didn't really believe any of it.
It's amazing that so many of these were (re)discovered in my lifetime. I remember each of the ones in my life were discovered/announced. I remember being fascinated by Dr. Leakey and Olduvai Gorge as an 11-year old in 1979. I had the great fortune to go on a month-long dig in 1987 in Southern California... much newer history but just as fascinating.
Fun fact: Troy's emplacement was common knoweldege at least up to the fifteenth century. It is mentioned in 1406 account of the trip of the Castilian ambassador Gonzalo Ruy Clavijo, who was sent in 1403 to establish an alliance between the king Enrique the Third of Castile with the emperor Timur. The ambassadors met Timur but the embassy finished with their host demise in 1405, so they simply returned to Spain. The chronicle describes in detail the trip from Southern Spain to Samarkand, all along the Mediterranean Sea up to the Black Sea and then by land from what is todaty Northern Turkey to Uzbekistan. The detailed description includes places like Gaeta, Rhodes, Constantinople, Trebisond, Tehran or Samarkand. Troy is explicitily cited when the expedition enters the Dardanelles strait (mentioned as the 'Romanian Mouths') and it said that is 'in the land of Turkey' (at the time the North Western bank of the strait was still Greek, except Gallipoli while the South Eastern bank was already Turkish). It is also described a 'Four Ways Cape' (which I could not have located but it may be modern Kumkale where 'there was a city and ancient castle where the Greeks established their base against Troy'). It is possible that the emplacement was forgotten to Western Europeans with the fall of Constantinople in 1453, while the Turks may have simply ignored it as Homer's writings were not part of their cultural heritage,
@@JuanCChavez in other words, at the beginning of 15th century it was common knowledge where Troy ruins were. However this knowledge was lost until German archaelogist Schliemann rediscovered them in the late 19th Century.
Oh man I’ve seen the Madaba Map. It’s beautiful and detailed and it’s hard to believe that’s it’s thousands of years old. The mosaic tiles found throughout the Middle East are some of the most beautiful art work in the world that should be recognized more often by the world.
I've been to Gobekli Tepe. And I admire the dedication it must've taken to find ten-second clips from 'Ancient Aliens' that have actual information in them.
Göbeklitepe should have a higher place in this list. Not only because it’s importance in terms of history, but also for the story behind discovery that is not mentioned in this video.
The biggest one for me was Richard III's discovery, because not only is it a part of my own history and a legend, but I watched it as it was taking place on the news.
Oh me too. I've always been fascinated with Richard III and how his death ended The War of The Roses. The detective work it took to find him us just so remarkable. Biggest for me too
To find his grave underneath a disabled parking spot in a parking lot of all places,I kept thinking how many people walked on his grave and parked their cars on the grave of a king. I am so glad though they gave him a proper royal funeral with honours .It is awesome though that the Richard ||| society bought the parking lot and adjoining buildings and turned it into a Richard ||| museum. I so want to go back to the UK some day just for the history.
@@emmyg And the fact that they painted a giant "R" on the parking spot. Apparently, it meant "Reserved", but it's still a highly unusual thing to paint on such a spot. Normally they paint the full word or a symbol rather than just a letter. It's the first time I've seen a parking spot marked in such a way.
A huge horse with an army inside seems far fetched but maybe a smaller one with just a few men inside, possibly only one. They only needed to open the gate.
@@dannysulyma6273 .It reminds me quite a bit of the bible story of the city of Jericho. Besides, I know that the bible is not a history book. but who knows there might be a connection.
For my 15th birthday I wanted to go see the emperor of the sun exhibit in Seattle Washington. They had 4 of the Terra Cotta soldiers there. I was amazed with all the artifacts on display
@@rooting4starks239 Mohammed? Siddhartha Gautama? Iulius Caesar? Columbus? Sargon II? Ramses II? Qin Shi Huang? Hitler? Stalin? Sorry, this view is very much outdated. It's not anymore common sense, that "important men made history".
@@marcuscyron7382 yeah ofcourse they’ll all be Big discoveries and some more than others but Alexander the Great and Ghengis Khan changed actual state of the world to a point where they’re impact is bigger than anyone else’s. Obviously finding the bodies of Jesus, Hitler, Stalin, Mohammed and so one will be massive discoveries but no two people effected the whole planet as much as them two i mentioned, according to most historians anyway. Also must be said there’s a difference between cultural, historical and religious importance of archeology.
Only Mohammed of those mentioned had an impact as Alexander's.its not only the conquests of Alexander but the Hellenization of a huge area of the ancient world that changed everything that followed.
I JUST LOVE THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS !!!! I overstand that is very hard to date stones and rocks, and there are alot of ancient sites that's spreads all over our planet, especially Gobekli Tepe, which your presentation states, BUT, the Sphinx of ancient KEMET (Egypt) was dated before the Age of Leo, and the evidences of great water weathering damage to the body of the Sphinx, surmised that the carving of the Sphinx could be greatly under-dated. ALMOST ALL OF THE ANCIENT SITES AROUND OUR PLANET WAS PRIMARY USED AS A PLACE OF WORSHIP !!!! Things that makes you go hmmmm.........! 🤔🤔🤔🤔 💯❤️🙏🏿😇
That's absolute utter woke nonsense. Science is defined as “the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.” Science is a method that mankind can use to gain a greater understanding of the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. I have a degree in Ecology/Environmental Science, including coursework in Evolutionary Theory and Genetics, from a Big Ten university and there is NO doubt in my mind God's fingerprints are all over the natural world. Our great and loving God is a God of law & order and science, as defined above, well illustrates and defines the natural laws and order of the universe around us. Also, there is no denying that science has limits. All one has to do to see that to be true is to look at the history of "science" and both the monumental discoveries and blunderous errors made by scientists. But if you want to ignore the checkered history of "science" and think you can prove there is no God, please tell me: 1) where life came from (biogenesis); 2) where physical matter came from; and 3) where the processes (both on the macroscopic and microscopic level) that permeate and drive our natural world began. You can't do any of that, can you. If you are one of those people who have made yourself a god, you worship at the altar of science, and let the culture determine your values, but you refuse to listen to reason, just watch the scene from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" where Mac argues the whole "Science vs. God" argument. It's a real hoot, but it will make you realize some of the flaws in your stance. p.s. I am most certainly NOT one of those people who worship or follow Trump. I'm not even a Republican.
The Bible itself is scientifically accurate, though yes, many religions ignore what is written.... -Job 26:7 God is "suspending the Earth on nothing." -Isaiah 40:22 "There is One who dwells above the circle (or sphere) of the Earth.) -Leviticus chapter 13, 14 Diseased people to quarantine. People should bury waste and wash after touching unclean things like bodies. (Germs/bacteria only discovered in modern day.)
I was a little girl when the Tut exhibit first came through Chicago The museum of science and industry.... They had the gold mask that King Tut was wearing, that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my lifetime it was so impressive that right now even at my age of 55 years old I can still close my eyes and see it and I must have been seven or eight years old, that is something you never ever forget if you have the blessings to be able to see it. If you ever get a chance to go see it or it comes to you and you can see it do it you will not regret it 😊
I got to go to a King Tut exhibit around 2005. A friend bought me tickets for Christmas. Only a partial scope of the artifacts but impressive. I also got to see the Egyptian exhibit at the Louvre, the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum and visited the Petrie Museum in London. There was a Bog Mummy at the British Museum but I don't think a famous one.
So far, the only of these finds that I've been able to visit is Pompeii. My tour was rather short, but i found it fascinating. I was in awe of the ancient city. However, I'd still love to see ANY of these locations in person. I love history and have a deep interest in archeology.
South Africa is the cradle of Humanity, is expected to have such finds. The interesting thing about Altamira and Lacroix is how far we travelled and how early in history.
5000 years from now: “Some say these computers they made, so small that it could fit on the palm of their hands, were not made by them, but by… ALIENS.”
LOL. You just jogged a memory of walking down the Siq to Petra behind a group of Jordanian schoolgirls. While us old Westerners are prattling "Gee Whizz Mom" and waving cameras around, 1 bright-eyed little miss in the group spun around, waved her hands and called out "Action!" - to gales of laughter from us and stifled giggles from her mates! 1999 - happier times!
I've been to Troy. I'll always remember all the beautiful red poppies growing everywhere. There was a larger wooden horse there. Put there for a nod to the history, but not the one spoke of in the story.
7, Cave of Altamira always tickles me when archeologists say they've not discovered the meaning of early cave paintings. I always think maybe they were bored!
Yep. Anyone would think that they ARE aware that their nutty beliefs are pure BS and are scared that someone might stumble on the actual evidence to prove that. 🤔 😉
A great discovery worth mentioning is the Book of Kells. Found in a bog in Ireland is one of the earliest illustrated texts of the gospels of the bible in latin.
Good work, WatchMoJo. This is one of your better videos. See what you can do when you don't focus on producing videos on the King of Canada, Jim Carrey.
Yeah it's not like Britain doesn't have it's own rich history of its own, what with Celts, Picts, Scots, Woads, Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Normans, all the various wars like the War of the Roses and the Hundred Years Wars, the Industrial Revolution. That's a lot of history, such a shame that the British Museum doesn't showcase any of it and only showcases stuff appropriated from other countries.
The British Museum doesn't actually "own" anything. It acts as a storehouse and display facility for many of the world's past civilizations. The collections are freely available to all interested scholars for research purposes and for the world's population to peruse in a safe and secure location where nutcases with serious mental issues can't destroy them because some little green man from space told them to do so. Long may it continue so! The Brits also have a vast array of other museums (most free to enter!) on many other subjects.
How can a museum own things, that people much earlier has made? No, museums collect, explore, preserve and display things - but they don't own this. Things belong to mankind. Modern museums also know this and act accordingly.
What I would like to know, is what happened to that shepherd boy who discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls, or the farmers who found the terra-cotta army. Or the teenagers who discovered those ancient cave paintings. There are literally hundreds of shows and documentaries telling about all these discoveries, and at most, they barely mention the person who discovered it. Noticed how they didn’t even mention the boys name who discovered the dead sea scrolls. Did any of these people who made such an astounding discovery’s receive anything? Did they get compensation free college tuition? Did they even get a pat on the back along with a good job? I wish someone would make a video all about all the different people who stumbled upon ancient artifacts and sites, and exactly how it affected their lives.
A bit anglo-centrist. I doubt most of the world would find the tomb of Richard II of England or the site of Sutton Hoo (burial site of an anonymous anglo-saxon king) amongst the Top 20 greatest archeological discoveries ever. They are great discoveries but not in the Top 20, in my opinion. They did not changed or challenged views of history and neither have the scope or importance of others discoveries. I was expecting Machu Pichu or L'Anse-aux-Meadows (proof of the Viking presence's in North America) to make the cut.
Lists like these will always be subject to bias. Treat them as a starting point to inform those interested. Add your own (personal) choices to allow visitors here to expand their interest and education. It's not a contest.
U guys should've put Dwarika here too. Its a sunken city in the Arabian Sea near the coast of Gujrat, India. Its about 5000 years old and the story of its sinking has been told in the MAHABHARAT (Indian Hindu Epic). Its discovery further proves that MAHABHARAT actually happened and not just a story.
I touched the Rosetta Stone in a museum in the UK, London I think, before they put it behind glass. My grandfather too me on a trip with my cousin, and when the security guard wasn’t looking, told both of us to touch it. He was a lover of history, and knew us touching such a massive piece of history would be special. Although I can understand how many might think that was selfish, I’ll never forget it.
In the far distant future, an archaeologist is uncovering the remains of modern-day 2022 and asks himself "What were the remains doing there? Who were they of? What did they do? What was their life like?" Eventually investigations ensued and it came up that this person was a famous high society entrepreneur / king of the time. He was loved by all and some thought he was mad and involved in all kinds of criminal activity. They thought he was loved by all & feared by others. Years after the discovery, a portal opens up & a man steps through into modern day 2022. A visitor from the future traveling to the past to meet the person whom they have discovered in the future. The archeologist from the future. The archaeologist finds the person living & is ecstatic. He asks "Oh my God, it's you! I have so many questions?" To which the guy replies "Welcome to Wendy's, may I take your order?" Moral Of The Story: Be careful when meeting your heroes, you might be disappointed.
The creator of the Rosetta Stone to his master: Sire! I wrote what you asked. Master: Good, now write it in two more languages so those idiot tourists would understand it too. Creator, to himself, as he gets to work: What bs. This is a total waste of time and no one will ever read this nonsense anyway. ***Proceeds to create one of the greatest archeological finds in the world.
Impact of Pompeji is greater, also Pompeji is the greater city. But it is true, it makes more sense, to combine this. Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae and Boscoreale.
Places or objects mentioned in the video: I've been to Pompeii. I've seen the Rosetta Stone and Hutton Soo artifacts at the British Museum. I saw parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. I saw a cast of the Lucy skeleton at the Field Museum in Chicago. I recently visited White Sands and the tour guide mentioned the footprints, but the actual site is not open for the public. Significant archaeological sites I've visited not mentioned in the video: Ephesus, the Acropolis, ancient Olympia, Delos, Herculaneum, sites of ancient Rome, Glendalough, Skara Brae, the Ring of Brogdar, Maeshowe, Lamanai, Tulum, Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Dzibilchaltun, Mesa Verde, Gila Cliff Dwellings, Bandelier NM, Petroglyph NM, Three Rivers Petroglyph, Blackwater Draw, Alibates Flint Quarries, Spiro Mounds, and Serpent Mound, among others.
I spent countless hours in the Field Museum from 11-13-years-old. I gladly would have lived there, if they would have let me. Hell, I'd probably still be there if I hadn't moved across the country.
It's awesome just seeing these places and objects, but imagine being among the people who discovered them and understood their significance. I can't even imagine the feeling.
perhaps ought to check the following two discoveries in Malta: the Megalithic Temples, 1,000 years older than the Pyramids, now UNESCO world Heritage sites, including the Saflieni Hypogeum an underground cemetery dating back 5,000 years The Cippus, discovered in 18th century Tas-Silg complex, used to decipher the Phoenician alphabet
I'm still hoping that they found Caecilius, Metella, Quintus, and their dog Cerberus in Pompeii. So that I can finally figure out of Caecilius est pater.
5:35 Those who burned Alexandria Library and destroyed the Temple of Serapis in Alexandria and turned it into a Christian church in 391 AD are the ones who are now screaming stupidly and ignorantly, accusing all Muslims of brutality. While the Islamic civilization built the Baghdad Library (the greatest library on earth at that time), which was destroyed by the Mongols in 656 AH. And here I am not exonerating some Muslims today of fanaticism and ignorance, But what I say is that it has nothing to do with a particular religion In that incident in Alexandria, when the Coptic Orthodox Church ruled in Alexandria, they acted just like ISIS in Syria and Iraq. (By the way, the Christians are also the ones who killed the philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria in March 415 AD)
Not gonna defend destroying the great library or killing anyone, but growing up around Christians, idk where this misconception that they go around claiming that all Muslims are bad or that any of them are for that matter.. I’m sure maybe in the Bible Belt in some hick ass small town there are some idiots who believe what you’re saying to be true ( I’ve never heard it still but I’m sure there could be), but that’s definitely not the bulk of Christians beliefs pretty much none in my experience. That being said I’m sure just like you don’t like being perceived to be something you’re obviously not, I’d imagine they wouldn’t like it much either and I would argue that you’re just being decisive and are a part of the problem instead of helping find a solution..

Thank-you for this video, WatchMojo. I have never heard of some if discoveries before like Mojenjo Daru.
I would be cool if you also do one of this with all the archeological findings un the Americas, not just Asia and Europe. South America also have mummies, one of the oldest cities in the world.
I’m a huge history/genealogy/archaeology fan . I would have loved to dig with Mick Aston (RIP) or Phil Harding both from time team. Archaeology is brilliant m, just seeing and then holding history in your hands

Well Time Team is kinda iffy when it comes to archaeology (coming from someone who has study archaeolgy for four and a half year). Its very much Tv
Gobekli Tepe being as old as 9500 BC that changes everything we learned in bible and history classes.
There is nothing historically crucial tu learn in the Bible.
Who learn something on the bible?
@@Heidelbergensis80 the bible is the ramblings of someone who was so damn bored he made fairytales
I remember in school (around 2nd or 3rd grade) we were taught that the bible was accurate to history 😂 and then ofc around 2008 or so our school had to re-teach us about history. Some of us were kinda confused, but i didn't really believe any of it.
@@komoativ5122wrong it wasn’t made by your mother you fool
It's amazing that so many of these were (re)discovered in my lifetime. I remember each of the ones in my life were discovered/announced. I remember being fascinated by Dr. Leakey and Olduvai Gorge as an 11-year old in 1979. I had the great fortune to go on a month-long dig in 1987 in Southern California... much newer history but just as fascinating.
Wow, starting out with Göbekle Tepe at the bottom of the list? Dis gon be good!
Fun fact: Troy's emplacement was common knoweldege at least up to the fifteenth century. It is mentioned in 1406 account of the trip of the Castilian ambassador Gonzalo Ruy Clavijo, who was sent in 1403 to establish an alliance between the king Enrique the Third of Castile with the emperor Timur. The ambassadors met Timur but the embassy finished with their host demise in 1405, so they simply returned to Spain.
The chronicle describes in detail the trip from Southern Spain to Samarkand, all along the Mediterranean Sea up to the Black Sea and then by land from what is todaty Northern Turkey to Uzbekistan. The detailed description includes places like Gaeta, Rhodes, Constantinople, Trebisond, Tehran or Samarkand. Troy is explicitily cited when the expedition enters the Dardanelles strait (mentioned as the 'Romanian Mouths') and it said that is 'in the land of Turkey' (at the time the North Western bank of the strait was still Greek, except Gallipoli while the South Eastern bank was already Turkish). It is also described a 'Four Ways Cape' (which I could not have located but it may be modern Kumkale where 'there was a city and ancient castle where the Greeks established their base against Troy').
It is possible that the emplacement was forgotten to Western Europeans with the fall of Constantinople in 1453, while the Turks may have simply ignored it as Homer's writings were not part of their cultural heritage,
Uh, What 😐… I just read this and I didn’t understand one word. Can you dumb it down please?
@@JuanCChavez in other words, at the beginning of 15th century it was common knowledge where Troy ruins were.
However this knowledge was lost until German archaelogist Schliemann rediscovered them in the late 19th Century.
This was awesome. Thank you for making content on history!
Great list! Hope to visit/see one of these discoveries in person.
I really liked this video, good and easy explaining with nice pictures. And the discoveries are pretty cool
Oh man I’ve seen the Madaba Map. It’s beautiful and detailed and it’s hard to believe that’s it’s thousands of years old. The mosaic tiles found throughout the Middle East are some of the most beautiful art work in the world that should be recognized more often by the world.
Hey WatchMojo! I really love your content and I’ve been a fan for god knows how long. Kindly note that Madaba isn’t Jordan’s capital. Amman is..
I'm a bit surprised none of the central and South American sites made it.
Yes. Strange.
Have to agree.
Agreed to much focus on the Middle East and Europe archaeology finds
watchmojo always making bangers
I've been to Gobekli Tepe. And I admire the dedication it must've taken to find ten-second clips from 'Ancient Aliens' that have actual information in them.
Göbeklitepe should have a higher place in this list. Not only because it’s importance in terms of history, but also for the story behind discovery that is not mentioned in this video.
Not as important as others.
@@paradox3734 bro it is litteraly oldest city in the world we known how its not important as others ?
Impressive and important list!
The biggest one for me was Richard III's discovery, because not only is it a part of my own history and a legend, but I watched it as it was taking place on the news.
Oh me too. I've always been fascinated with Richard III and how his death ended The War of The Roses. The detective work it took to find him us just so remarkable. Biggest for me too
To find his grave underneath a disabled parking spot in a parking lot of all places,I kept thinking how many people walked on his grave and parked their cars on the grave of a king. I am so glad though they gave him a proper royal funeral with honours .It is awesome though that the Richard ||| society bought the parking lot and adjoining buildings and turned it into a Richard ||| museum. I so want to go back to the UK some day just for the history.
@@emmyg And the fact that they painted a giant "R" on the parking spot. Apparently, it meant "Reserved", but it's still a highly unusual thing to paint on such a spot. Normally they paint the full word or a symbol rather than just a letter. It's the first time I've seen a parking spot marked in such a way.
@@white-dragon4424 same here it is surprising I loved the documentary about the find though
Funny. It was by far the most unimportant find of all what is mentioned.
This channel is a real find for anyone interested in history. 💎👏
Archeology is a cool form of science
History is so freakin FASCINATING!!! 🤗
I love David Gemmell's interpretation of the Trojan Horse as been a heavy cavalry regiment,makes sense to me.
A huge horse with an army inside seems far fetched but maybe a smaller one with just a few men inside, possibly only one. They only needed to open the gate.
@@dannysulyma6273 .It reminds me quite a bit of the bible story of the city of Jericho. Besides, I know that the bible is not a history book. but who knows there might be a connection.

For my 15th birthday I wanted to go see the emperor of the sun exhibit in Seattle Washington. They had 4 of the Terra Cotta soldiers there. I was amazed with all the artifacts on display
Only seen only 2 in this list: Troy and the Rosetta Stone. This video is motivating to never stop exploring.
Finding king Philip of Macedon‘s tomb in Egypt is pretty much just as good as finding Alexander’s tomb but sadly we still have yet to find it
Grave of Philipp II. was found in Vergina, Greece, not in Egypt. Same with Philipp III.
With all due respect it’s not on the same level as Alexander the Great. Only Genghis Khan or Jesus on on that level of historical importance
@@rooting4starks239 Mohammed? Siddhartha Gautama? Iulius Caesar? Columbus? Sargon II? Ramses II? Qin Shi Huang? Hitler? Stalin? Sorry, this view is very much outdated. It's not anymore common sense, that "important men made history".
@@marcuscyron7382 yeah ofcourse they’ll all be Big discoveries and some more than others but Alexander the Great and Ghengis Khan changed actual state of the world to a point where they’re impact is bigger than anyone else’s. Obviously finding the bodies of Jesus, Hitler, Stalin, Mohammed and so one will be massive discoveries but no two people effected the whole planet as much as them two i mentioned, according to most historians anyway. Also must be said there’s a difference between cultural, historical and religious importance of archeology.
Only Mohammed of those mentioned had an impact as Alexander's.its not only the conquests of Alexander but the Hellenization of a huge area of the ancient world that changed everything that followed.
I JUST LOVE THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS !!!!
I overstand that is very hard to date stones and rocks, and there are alot of ancient sites that's spreads all over our planet, especially Gobekli Tepe, which your presentation states, BUT, the Sphinx of ancient KEMET (Egypt) was dated before the Age of Leo, and the evidences of great water weathering damage to the body of the Sphinx, surmised that the carving of the Sphinx could be greatly under-dated.
ALMOST ALL OF THE ANCIENT SITES AROUND OUR PLANET WAS PRIMARY USED AS A PLACE OF WORSHIP !!!!
Things that makes you go hmmmm.........! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
💯❤️🙏🏿😇
Imagine all of the things out there that we’ll never know existed
because of light speed and the universe expanding there's things in space that humans will never discover since it will be impossible to see
That just makes the Journey for Knowledge all the more exciting!
Imagine all the knowledge lost that we did know.
God I love science. It's a shame that denying it has become popular among a certain group of people.
Christians
Agreed...Any idea when being Uneducated or Misinformed started to become a badge of honor for some people?...my guess around 2016.
@@jairangel463 Ah yes, Believers of Jesus, Believer of Superstitions (And in some cases, Believer of Hypocrasy)
That's absolute utter woke nonsense. Science is defined as “the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.” Science is a method that mankind can use to gain a greater understanding of the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination.
I have a degree in Ecology/Environmental Science, including coursework in Evolutionary Theory and Genetics, from a Big Ten university and there is NO doubt in my mind God's fingerprints are all over the natural world. Our great and loving God is a God of law & order and science, as defined above, well illustrates and defines the natural laws and order of the universe around us. Also, there is no denying that science has limits. All one has to do to see that to be true is to look at the history of "science" and both the monumental discoveries and blunderous errors made by scientists. But if you want to ignore the checkered history of "science" and think you can prove there is no God, please tell me: 1) where life came from (biogenesis); 2) where physical matter came from; and 3) where the processes (both on the macroscopic and microscopic level) that permeate and drive our natural world began. You can't do any of that, can you.
If you are one of those people who have made yourself a god, you worship at the altar of science, and let the culture determine your values, but you refuse to listen to reason, just watch the scene from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" where Mac argues the whole "Science vs. God" argument. It's a real hoot, but it will make you realize some of the flaws in your stance.
p.s. I am most certainly NOT one of those people who worship or follow Trump. I'm not even a Republican.
The Bible itself is scientifically accurate, though yes, many religions ignore what is written....
-Job 26:7 God is "suspending the Earth on nothing."
-Isaiah 40:22 "There is One who dwells above the circle (or sphere) of the Earth.)
-Leviticus chapter 13, 14 Diseased people to quarantine. People should bury waste and wash after touching unclean things like bodies. (Germs/bacteria only discovered in modern day.)
I was a little girl when the Tut exhibit first came through Chicago The museum of science and industry.... They had the gold mask that King Tut was wearing, that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my lifetime it was so impressive that right now even at my age of 55 years old I can still close my eyes and see it and I must have been seven or eight years old, that is something you never ever forget if you have the blessings to be able to see it. If you ever get a chance to go see it or it comes to you and you can see it do it you will not regret it 😊
I got to go to a King Tut exhibit around 2005. A friend bought me tickets for Christmas. Only a partial scope of the artifacts but impressive. I also got to see the Egyptian exhibit at the Louvre, the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum and visited the Petrie Museum in London. There was a Bog Mummy at the British Museum but I don't think a famous one.
me too; in nyc
@Florida Ladybug I saw Rameses II (as a mummy) and actually touched him when I was 4.
I seen king tut tomb when I went to the Luxor in Vegas it was fascinating to know they brought him all the way from Egypt to Las Vegas.
Simply awesome
So far, the only of these finds that I've been able to visit is Pompeii. My tour was rather short, but i found it fascinating. I was in awe of the ancient city. However, I'd still love to see ANY of these locations in person. I love history and have a deep interest in archeology.
Always learn something new everyday.
The Blombos cave in South Africa contains the first known drawings by humans, some of which are literally more than twice the age of those in Spain.
South Africa is the cradle of Humanity, is expected to have such finds. The interesting thing about Altamira and Lacroix is how far we travelled and how early in history.
I was lucky enough to see the Dead Sea Scrolls, it was quite awe inspiring to see the depth of history within Israel
5000 years from now: “Some say these computers they made, so small that it could fit on the palm of their hands, were not made by them, but by… ALIENS.”
More like 400 years from now and after the religious far right take over and the second dark ages starts
I know I take information presented to me seriously, when it is emphasized by clips from "Ancient Aliens".
Yeah,...not a particularly compelling selling point, I agree.
Yes!! This makes me very happy!! I’m a history major in college and I just watched Indians Jones and the Last Crusade
LOL. You just jogged a memory of walking down the Siq to Petra behind a group of Jordanian schoolgirls. While us old Westerners are prattling "Gee Whizz Mom" and waving cameras around, 1 bright-eyed little miss in the group spun around, waved her hands and called out "Action!" - to gales of laughter from us and stifled giggles from her mates! 1999 - happier times!
Greatest discoveries YET. Still so much work to be done!!!
Cool this is great awesome
When in Chicago, be sure to visit
The Field Museum and
The Art Institute.
You might find some information
about many of these artifacts.
The inclusion of "ancient aliens" clips really brings it down a notch.
I've been to Troy. I'll always remember all the beautiful red poppies growing everywhere. There was a larger wooden horse there. Put there for a nod to the history, but not the one spoke of in the story.
Think Hammurabi’s Code should’ve made it here too, over who is a different and more difficult question.
Great video
7, Cave of Altamira always tickles me when archeologists say they've not discovered the meaning of early cave paintings. I always think maybe they were bored!
I've always considered just like interior decorating before the invention of gaudy flower wall paper.
Are we going to see more archeological discoveries like these in the future? Which one of these do you think is the best?
lol
Gobeki tepi definitely
We will always see new discoveries. But mostly they can't be panned. What I expect is, tha Africa will come more and more in the focus.
the actual reason why Antikythera Mechanism is museum. Is to keep people from from putting and playing DOOM on it
Machu Pichu, anyone???
Cheer~~~the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains.
I love Gobekli Tepe but it's the oldest until the NEXT oldest is found.
As always. On the other hand, there's probably not that much more possible in earlier times. If - we would need to completelty rewrite prehistory.
They already found it. A temple very near to Gobekli Tepe. Even bigger and more puzzling and even older.
and just think, there's groups of people running around destroying this stuff..
Yep. Anyone would think that they ARE aware that their nutty beliefs are pure BS and are scared that someone might stumble on the actual evidence to prove that. 🤔 😉
How about Caesar the great? He burned the library of Alexandria?
Globeke Tepi is the best as it re writes history humans have been in civilisations since well before 10,000 years ago
Great job on this video!
Steely Dan wrote a song about
The Caves Of Altimira.
It's on their album , THE ROYAL SCAM.
The wonders of archeology are at least as important as the wonders of space, and much less expensive.
A great discovery worth mentioning is the Book of Kells. Found in a bog in Ireland is one of the earliest illustrated texts of the gospels of the bible in latin.
Good work, WatchMoJo. This is one of your better videos. See what you can do when you don't focus on producing videos on the King of Canada, Jim Carrey.
“best I can do is 20 but let me call a buddy of mine first”
Nobody ever talks about the Bogman that was found in Ireland he served an important glimpse into ancient Ireland
Pretty cool list
Good to know british museum have something that they actually owns 👍
Yeah it's not like Britain doesn't have it's own rich history of its own, what with Celts, Picts, Scots, Woads, Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Normans, all the various wars like the War of the Roses and the Hundred Years Wars, the Industrial Revolution. That's a lot of history, such a shame that the British Museum doesn't showcase any of it and only showcases stuff appropriated from other countries.
The British Museum doesn't actually "own" anything. It acts as a storehouse and display facility for many of the world's past civilizations. The collections are freely available to all interested scholars for research purposes and for the world's population to peruse in a safe and secure location where nutcases with serious mental issues can't destroy them because some little green man from space told them to do so. Long may it continue so! The Brits also have a vast array of other museums (most free to enter!) on many other subjects.
How can a museum own things, that people much earlier has made? No, museums collect, explore, preserve and display things - but they don't own this. Things belong to mankind. Modern museums also know this and act accordingly.
What I would like to know, is what happened to that shepherd boy who discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls, or the farmers who found the terra-cotta army. Or the teenagers who discovered those ancient cave paintings. There are literally hundreds of shows and documentaries telling about all these discoveries, and at most, they barely mention the person who discovered it. Noticed how they didn’t even mention the boys name who discovered the dead sea scrolls. Did any of these people who made such an astounding discovery’s receive anything? Did they get compensation free college tuition? Did they even get a pat on the back along with a good job? I wish someone would make a video all about all the different people who stumbled upon ancient artifacts and sites, and exactly how it affected their lives.
A bit anglo-centrist. I doubt most of the world would find the tomb of Richard II of England or the site of Sutton Hoo (burial site of an anonymous anglo-saxon king) amongst the Top 20 greatest archeological discoveries ever. They are great discoveries but not in the Top 20, in my opinion. They did not changed or challenged views of history and neither have the scope or importance of others discoveries. I was expecting Machu Pichu or L'Anse-aux-Meadows (proof of the Viking presence's in North America) to make the cut.
Lists like these will always be subject to bias. Treat them as a starting point to inform those interested. Add your own (personal) choices to allow visitors here to expand their interest and education. It's not a contest.
Small heartattack at 10:55. Thanks WatchMojo....
Hopefully Watchmojo won't have to do a Top 20 of how many of these were ruined by Morons. 🤷🏿

Wow hearing Leonard Nimoys voice come in at the end. Chills.
U guys should've put Dwarika here too. Its a sunken city in the Arabian Sea near the coast of Gujrat, India. Its about 5000 years old and the story of its sinking has been told in the MAHABHARAT (Indian Hindu Epic). Its discovery further proves that MAHABHARAT actually happened and not just a story.
It's more than 12000+ years old brother.
As usual, narcissistic Indians always want to put their country on every topic in youtube.
and it had more toilets than india combined
I like to imagine what amazing discoveries will happen over the next few hundred years as we get better at finding 'lost' sites.
I touched the Rosetta Stone in a museum in the UK, London I think, before they put it behind glass. My grandfather too me on a trip with my cousin, and when the security guard wasn’t looking, told both of us to touch it. He was a lover of history, and knew us touching such a massive piece of history would be special. Although I can understand how many might think that was selfish, I’ll never forget it.
Lucy in the Sky with diamonds was something else 😆
In the far distant future, an archaeologist is uncovering the remains of modern-day 2022 and asks himself "What were the remains doing there? Who were they of? What did they do? What was their life like?" Eventually investigations ensued and it came up that this person was a famous high society entrepreneur / king of the time. He was loved by all and some thought he was mad and involved in all kinds of criminal activity. They thought he was loved by all & feared by others. Years after the discovery, a portal opens up & a man steps through into modern day 2022. A visitor from the future traveling to the past to meet the person whom they have discovered in the future. The archeologist from the future. The archaeologist finds the person living & is ecstatic. He asks "Oh my God, it's you! I have so many questions?" To which the guy replies "Welcome to Wendy's, may I take your order?"

I'm still hoping that they found Caecilius, Metella, Quintus, and their dog Cerberus in Pompeii. So that I can finally figure out of Caecilius est pater.
5:35 Those who burned Alexandria Library and destroyed the Temple of Serapis in Alexandria and turned it into a Christian church in 391 AD are the ones who are now screaming stupidly and ignorantly, accusing all Muslims of brutality.
While the Islamic civilization built the Baghdad Library (the greatest library on earth at that time), which was destroyed by the Mongols in 656 AH.
And here I am not exonerating some Muslims today of fanaticism and ignorance,
But what I say is that it has nothing to do with a particular religion
In that incident in Alexandria, when the Coptic Orthodox Church ruled in Alexandria, they acted just like ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
(By the way, the Christians are also the ones who killed the philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria in March 415 AD)
Not gonna defend destroying the great library or killing anyone, but growing up around Christians, idk where this misconception that they go around claiming that all Muslims are bad or that any of them are for that matter.. I’m sure maybe in the Bible Belt in some hick ass small town there are some idiots who believe what you’re saying to be true ( I’ve never heard it still but I’m sure there could be), but that’s definitely not the bulk of Christians beliefs pretty much none in my experience. That being said I’m sure just like you don’t like being perceived to be something you’re obviously not, I’d imagine they wouldn’t like it much either and I would argue that you’re just being decisive and are a part of the problem instead of helping find a solution..
