AMAZING Artifacts Unearthed By ACCIDENT
Not all incredible discoveries are made by trained scientists or adventurers like Indiana Jones. In fact, a lot of the most important archaeological discoveries are made completely by accident!

5. Derinkuyu City
Cappadocia, a region in Turkey, is dotted with immense structures called “fairy chimneys.” They are made of a rock soft enough to carve and people have been carving living spaces into them for thousands of years. There are a number of known underground cities in Cappadocia, but the one located underneath Derinkuyu is among the most impressive. In 1963 a man was doing renovations on his home when he tore down a wall that led to a room, connected to a long passageway. That passageway was one of thousands in the Derinkuyu underground city. It is incredibly elaborate with 11 storeys, 15,000 airshafts, and enough room to house 20,000 people. The city features wine cellars, homes, stables, livestock pens, freshwater wells, and more. Even more impressive is the fact that they had an incredible defense system, being able to shut large stone doors to seal the city from the inside and seal each level off from one another in times of invasion. There have been absolutely no cave-ins in the city and it is still safe enough to house the archaeologists who are studying it. The mystery behind this find is...no one knows who built it!
4. Lascaux Caves
The story behind one of the most significant archaeological finds in history goes like this: In southwest France in the year 1940, four teenagers and a dog named Robot were out for a walk when Robot decided to chase a rabbit into a hole in the ground. The boys chased after their dog, thinking he had found a tunnel to buried treasure, which was somewhere around this area according to a local story. They found they were surrounded by vivid paintings of animals and decided to make some money by showing it their friends (if they bought a ticket). News travels fast and soon archaeologists were on the scene. They determined the paintings were authentic examples of cave art from the Paleolithic Period, about 17,000 years old. The cave has over 600 paintings and 1500 engravings, nearly all of them of extinct species of fauna and flora. Today, the cave is closed to visitors, who have inadvertently caused the deterioration of the paint literally just by breathing around them.
3. WWII Bomb
In 2013, construction workers in Belgrade were in for a surprise when they went to work at 11p.m. in the city center. While working on Budimska Street in downtown Belgrade, workers unearthed an amazingly unexploded bomb that had been buried 20 feet below the streets since 1941. It weighed over 1 ton and contained 1300 pounds of explosives. The bomb was safely excavated after the area was evacuated and was taken to a military base, where it was destroyed safely on February 5, 2016.
2. Roman Villa
A man living in Wiltshire, England was attempting to run electricity to a building in his backyard so his children could use it as a recreation room when the electricians running the cable declared they had found something. They had unearthed an elaborate mosaic tile, which turned out to be the bottom floor of an ancient Roman Villa, built around 175 AD. The villa was incredibly well-preserved and so intricate, it may have been the home of a Roman Emperor. It’s believed the villa was once three-storeys high. Among the finds here were oyster shells, suggesting they were specifically cultivated for the family, elite pottery, and the coffin of a Roman person which was being used as a flowerbed. The find is one of the most important of its kind in years, because the site has not been touched for nearly 1500 years, allowing scientists and archaeologists to study how the wealthiest 1% of Roman society lived in incredible detail.
1. Venus de Milo
You’ve almost certainly heard of and seen photos of this famous Greek statue, but what you might not have known is that she was discovered completely by accident. In 1820, a peasant by the name of Yorgos Kentrotas came across a cave covered in a slab of marble while he was searching for building blocks. Some people are up in arms over who actually made the discovery, with some crediting Yorgos Bottonis and his son Antonio. Whoever found it certainly wasn’t looking for it. The Venus de Milo has become one of the most iconic classical works of art, probably because very little is known about her. She is called Venus, but she very well may be a depiction of Aphrodite. She may not even be a goddess at all, but the lover of the sculptor, or someone else entirely. Her lack of arms has transformed her into a surrealist piece and left many questioning how her arms were broken off, but the rest of her remained undamaged.
British tourist unearths treasure
An amateur British archaeologist has discovered almost 300 gold coins dating from the 7th Century at a dig just outside Jerusalem's Old City.
Nadine Ross had been volunteering at the site for the past month and found the coins in the last week of her stay in Israel.
The 24-carat coins date back to the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius, before the Persians conquered Jerusalem.
She later showed how she made the discovery.

The Most Horrifying Things Discovered In The Great Outdoors
When you think about it, there are lots of good reasons to avoid the great outdoors, like the fearsome power of sudden storms or, y'know, bugs and mud or whatever. Some brave people have gone outside anyway, and have found some pretty awful things there. Here are some of the most horrifying things people have discovered in the not-so-great outdoors.
The Geological Society of London described Holyrood Park as a place of sanctuary from the crowded streets of Edinburgh, Scotland, and a piece of countryside within the city limits. With its 150-foot cliffs and freshwater loch, it sounds like a great place to relax after a long week of bagpipe fights and haggis-eating contests. That park's main landmark is an extinct volcano known as Arthur's Seat, which last erupted 340 million years ago. Sitting at 823 feet above sea level, Arthur's Seat is the highest hill in Edinburgh.
It was also once a secret cemetery for 17 incredibly creepy dolls.
Smithsonian noted that accounts of how the dolls were found vary somewhat across sources, but the gist of it is that in 1836, three boys went poking around Arthur's Seat for rabbits' burrows. But instead of finding long-eared fluff balls of joy, they found tiny coffins each 3 or 4 inches long which contained wooden dolls. According to National Museums Scotland, newspapers at the time speculated that the coffins were used for witchcraft or some ancient form of mourning. Meanwhile, experts have since suggested they might've been toy soldiers. But in the end, nobody seems to know just what they are or why they were buried.

EGYPT: ARCHAEOLOGIST UNCOVERS NEW EVIDENCE OVER SHIP-WRECKS
English/Nat
New archeological investigations into the one of the most famous sea battles in history has uncovered a tale of destruction of Napoleon's French fleet by the British navy off the coast of Egypt.
After three and a half years of exploration, a team of French marine archaeologists have revealed that poor judgment and bad luck lead to the defeat of Napoleon's French fleet and the fall of his empire.
The exploration included both evidence gathered from descendants of those involved in the sea battle and the examination of artefacts found at the site of the wreck located in the Mediterranean.
After lengthy investigations, French researchers now believe they have shed new light on the obliteration of Napoleon's naval fleet.
Hidden deep in the Mediterranean for hundreds of years, marine archaeologists have now uncovered evidence that has helped them piece together one of the most famous sea battles in history.
On August 1st 1798 British and French armies staged the battle of the Nile.
The result was wrecked ships and more than 12-hundred dead sailors.
The battle of the Nile heralded the final destruction of Napoleon's oriental aspirations.
After more than three and a half years of investigations, French Marine Archaeologist Franck Goddio has revealed that poor judgment and bad luck lead to the French fleet's ultimate fall.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
This finding is important because it enlightens some point of history which shows us what (mistakes) the French army has made before the battle, which caused the French disaster. And also we have seen by the way that the artefact were scouted (found) and from what is remaining by the hull of the Orient (the wreck) that there has been two explosions, two explosions, not one, and this was not known (before) and we could reconstruct, illustrate what has happened before the battle, during the battle, and after the battle.
SUPER CAPTION: Franko Goddio, French Marine Archaeologist
It's the first time since the famed Battle of the Nile, that members from the two families, whose ancestors were enemies, have met.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
I am very grateful to Frank Goddio who was able to come here today to look at these authentic artefacts. The artefacts were in the ocean since the French fleet arrived in Egypt and epically since the cruel battle was a naval disaster for the French navy.
SUPER CAPTION: Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte-Wyse, Member of Napoleons family
Goddio's expedition mapped out a treasure trove of artefacts, including gold belt buckles, regimental buttons, silverware and crystal flasks.
The search on the ocean floor revealed the explosive last moments on board the ship that once proudly carried Napoleon's fleet to war in Egypt.
SOUNDBITE: (French)
The search has revealed very interesting facts. It showed us the errors that Admiral Bruner made before the battle really started. It showed us that at the moment of the explosion, there were two explosions, one on the back set fire to all of the gunpowder on the ship.
SUPER CAPTION: Franko Goddio, French Marine Archaeologist
At the wreck, they found gold coins bearing the crowns of Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI, along with small arms, and gold coins from Malta, the Ottoman Empire, Venice, Spain and Portugal.
The diversity of the haul led archaeologists to assume that the loot may have been part of the Maltese Treasure, captured by Napoleon on his way to Egypt.

Gulf Stream and the Next Ice Age - Documentary
The Gulf Stream and The Next Ice Age is about the consequences of global warming on The Great Atlantic Conveyor, which has to do with regulating climate and the fear that the melting of ice will stop it, perhaps triggering an ice age.
In the battle against climate change there is no enemy to fight, just our attitudes. - Nicolas Koutsikas, Director. Climate Change is hot on the political and social agenda internationally. Our climate is changing, with industrial production, habitat, transport and everyday human activities acknowledged as causes of global warming.
The Gulf Stream and the Next Ice Age is a one-hour documentary which explores the results of a recent American government report that believes the collapse of thermohaline circulation will take place around the year 2010 and impose a minor ice age on Europe. Could Dublin acquire a climate like Spitzberg, and London like that of Siberia? The Gulf Stream is a powerful surface current, driven by the Trade Winds.
Its origins lie in the Gulf of Mexico and it carries the tropical waters from the Florida Strait to the great banks of the United States, where it heads eastward, carrying its warm waters to the borders of the North Atlantic. As soon as the tropical waters hit the Arctic Ocean, they cool abruptly and plunge towards the abyssal zone to form a loop, known as thermohaline circulation. Then, like an immense conveyor belt that slows down in the ocean depths, it sets out again southward to rejoin the beginning of the Gulf Stream.

Lobsters : Knights of the Deep Documentary
The knights of the deep are on the move; almost no part of their bodies is without armor. Like medieval warriors, these fighters are well armed – not with sword and shield, but with scissors and forceps and defensive armor that is covered with spikes and hooks. And even though they are well protected and have an uncanny awareness of their surroundings, many of these proud knights will face a gloomy destiny. Many of them will end upon a plate.
Gourmets all over the world are in love with these famous crustaceans: lobsters! For marine biologists lobsters are similarly fascinating: as research objects. We are on their trail in Cape Breton, an island in the northern Atlantic and part of the Canadian province Nova Scotia, where one of the largest populations of lobsters has its home.

Living the life aquatic: a maritime archaeological odyssey
A Marine Life Talk at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton
by Dr R Helen Farr --
With Titanic mania sweeping Southampton this month in memory of the 100th anniversary of its demise, Helen will provide a whirlwind tour of the development of seafaring and maritime activity from its origins in the Pleistocene, and our ancestors' first open water crossings, to the cutting edge technology that maritime archaeologists deploy today.
The technological development and the symbolic role of the ship within society will be explored alongside the developing discipline and challenges of maritime archaeology.
Helen Farr is currently a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow within the Centre for Maritime Archaeology at Southampton University. Her research interests include ancient seafaring and island colonization, prehistoric submerged landscapes and the dynamic relationship between people and their changing environment as sea-levels rose during the Holocene. Combining skills in marine archaeology, palaeoevnvironmental analysis and geoarchaeology Helen has projects in the Solent, central Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean.
Helen is on the editorial board for the Journal of Maritime Archaeology where she is also Reviews Editor, an HSE commercial diver and a keen sailor.
SHIP SHAPE: Newport's Medieval Ship - 10 years on
ShipShape: AHRC Film commemorates 10th anniversary of Newport Ship discovery
In 2002 the remains of a medieval ship were discovered during the construction of a Theatre and Arts Centre, on the bank of the river Usk in Newport, South Wales.
Ten years on, The Newport Ship remains the most substantial, and arguable the most important medieval ship found in Britain in modern times. The recovery of the ship in 2002 captured the imagination of Newport and sparked strong local support for its rescue and display, mirrored by widespread academic interest.
An ongoing funding commitment from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in a project led by Nigel Nayling, Associate Professor, University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, has been instrumental in the conservation, reconstruction and display of the ship.
In this short film we hear from Nigel Nayling who gives us a history of the ship's discovery and tells us how AHRC funding is helping Newport unravel the secrets of this mysterious vessel.
After discovery, the ship was dismantled and the remains were excavated piece-by-piece and stored in large freshwater containers to prevent decay. A total of 1,700 ship timbers and over 600 associated timbers were retrieved and catalogued. With the help of AHRC funding, each individual timber was painstakingly recorded using 3-dimensional recording arms to produce a digital record of the ship's key structural elements.
Each of the waterlogged timbers is now being chemically treated to remove contaminants such as iron and sulphur. Once treated, the timbers are put in a giant freeze dryer to get rid of the water. Drying is scheduled to finish by 2014, and it will take another three years to rebuild the ship.
In the meantime public interest (demonstrated by tens of thousands of visitors to the Newport Ship Centre) has needed to be sustained. This has been achieved through the production of a 1:10 scale model of the ship which was built using pieces modelled from the 3D digital records.
The AHRC also funded an interim exhibition, of which the 3D model formed the centre piece, which addressed some of the most common questions asked by the public such as What did the ship look like?, How big was the ship?,and How much cargo could it carry?
Feedback from public responses to the exhibition has been used to help develop display concepts for a permanent display of the ship once all the timbers have been treated and dried, and the ship has been reconstructed.
The exhibition, and the AHRC-funded research underpinning it, was achieved through partnerships between the Newport Museum and Heritage Service (keeper of the ship) and the University of Wales, Lampeter, which has provided archaeological consultancy support since the ship's discovery.

Sea Monster in Alaska CAUGHT on Video by U S Government ?
From Nessie making an appearance in Alaska, to the Russian's finding something extremely unsettling, this is Crypto Fun Friday !
While most people have to go searching for the Loch Ness Monster, a vacationer was fortunate enough to be gazing at the Loch … when Nessie simply popped her head out of the water … at least that’s the story we heard. A 28-year-old woman was on the balcony of her holiday home at Loch Ness when she saw a mysterious ripple on the surface, followed by a ‘blue thing’ swimming across. She grabbed her phone and managed to snap a few pictures … but when she tried to zoom in, the object disappeared. The woman claimed it’s not often one sees a monster while on holiday … but did she really see one?
Here’s another potential sea monster that was caught on video … this time in Russia. What appeared to be a huge, serpent-like object in remote Lake Turgoyak (tur-goy-ak) has people making the Nessie tie-ins. A kayaker said he spotted the mysterious object causing ripples on one area of the lake’s surface. The video footage shows large black rings that conceivably resemble the coils of a snake. While the kayaker claims the object appeared to be around 15 meters long and serpentine … he also conceded the ripples could have been caused by divers training. But as it turns out, no dive teams were swimming deep in that area of the lake on that day. Aside from the obvious comparison to Nessie, we couldn’t find that many theories about what this snakelike thing might have been … Care to give it a go?
Some of the clearest pictures of the Loch Ness Monster appeared earlier in 2016 … if it really was the legendary Nessie. An amateur photographer named Ian Bremner snapped the pictures that show a dark creature with a long, serpentine body bobbing along the surface of Loch Ness. The animal is estimated at around 2 meters long appears to have a tail, and and has a silvery sheen on its skin. Many sceptics point out that the animal’s head could be a seal, and the picture merely shows three of them playing in the water. But Mr Bremner has his believers … and they say the images closely resemble the most sharply focused examples of Nessie yet found.
Accounts of a sea monster have been documented since the 1800s in Barmouth, Wales when footprints as big as an elephant’s were found on the beach. Subsequent accounts described the creature’s appearance as similar to a crocodile’s. WItnesses who claimed to see the creature in broad daylight in 1975 described it as having a square face with a long neck and tail, and flippers. Earlier in 2016, the first-ever photograph of the legendary beast possibly surfaced.
Have you ever heard of the Morag (mor-rag)? It’s a Scottish sea monster that makes its home in Loch Morar (mora) … about 70 miles from Loch Ness. Stories of the creature date back to 1887 … and this cryptid is something of a paradox. It’s been described as having a beautiful, mermaid-like visage … but it’s also described as a demonic character whose presence was considered to portend death. According to folklore, the Morag can appear like a black heap that slowly rises in the water and moves along like a waterlogged boat. But more recent accounts describe it as a humped, serpentine creature, more along the lines of Nessie. The best known sighting occurred in 1969, when two men accidentally struck the creature with their boat.
Let’s head back to Russia for this one … At remote Lake Labynkyr (la-bink-er) in Siberia, a mysterious dark creature is said to inhabit the deep, icy waters. It’s called the 'Labynkyr (la-bink-er) Devil’ … and the lake it inhabits is so secluded that no one lives within a 100 mile radius. Except for an adventurer named Andrey Solovyez, who’s keeping a vigil there.. He’s braving temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius because he’s convinced he has proof of the creature’s existence -- his fishing nets were torn and shredded by something too powerful to be a fish. Reports of a Nessie-type creature have persisted in the region since the 19th century. And according to some scientists, sonar readings do indicate that at least one huge creature might lurk under the surface. Sightings analyzed by experts conclude the creature is up to 10 meters long, with a massive jaw that has a beaklike appearance and lots of teeth. Theories include the creature being a prehistoric marine reptile such as an ichthyosaurs (itch-thee-o-sore) or plesiosaur. Another possibility is the creature being a relic killer whale that was somehow marooned in the lake. For now, scientists still have no explanation for what the kind of animal it might be.

The Desecration of South West Australia's Most Important Aboriginal Sites & Rare Biodiversity
A Short Documentary on my time discovering this one and only piece of real Aboriginal History in the district of Dumbleyung, Western Australia.
This is a place littered with the rich history of an ancient Noongar Aboriginal past, and a site containing much rich, rare and beautiful flora and fauna, located in the District of Dumbleyung, Great Southern Region of Western Australia.
A perfect example of white man not seeking any input from local aboriginal custodians, not seeking permission for the clearing of land, the disrespecting of mother nature in an area already destroyed by land clearing, salinity and soil erosion.
This place is Meteorite Island, an Oasis in the middle of a vast plain of death.
Now at the extreme risk of being destroyed for the sake of the Yellow sand being mined by the landowner and the Shire of Dumbleyung... please read my comments to this below.
I call this Sacred place Meteorite Island... all of the below videos are made here (But not all!)...I ask my viewers and subscribers to please watch and please understand and you'll see why it is so special... the Shire of Dumbleyung and the Land Owner is Digging up the Island to mine the yellow sand for surfacing gravel roads... disgusting, this sand contains thousands of ancient aboriginal tools and no doubt the remains of ancient aboriginal Noongar people!
The Island contains an amazing variety of flora and fauna, snakes, reptiles, frogs and hundreds, thousands more... this flora and fauna is stuck on this island... surrounded by a desolate dead, yet beautiful salt pan, there is no leaving this island, the generations of animals, flora and fauna have been stuck on this island since the surrounding land as cleared by pioneer farmers in the 1900's.... please read exactly hat I write below, and then you'll see ho sacred this place is!
It also contains the only remaining piece of real freshwater swamp land left in the Dumbleyung District, surrounded by ancient paperbark trees... yes real freshwater swamps.... you show me a freshwater swamp in Dumbleyung ... there are none others!

Ed Winters: Can This One Simple Change Save the Planet? | Talks at Google
Ed Winters, also known as Earthling Ed, is a vegan educator, filmmaker, public speaker and entrepreneur based in London, England. His speech You Will Never Look at Your Life in the Same Way Again, has been viewed over 33 million times across YouTube and Facebook. Winters is the co-founder and co-director of Surge, an animal rights organisation, which in 2016 founded The Official Animal Rights March, which has grown from 2,500 participants in London in 2016 to 41,000 participants across the globe in 2019. In 2017, Winters produced the documentary Land of Hope and Glory, and in 2018 he opened Unity Diner, a non-profit vegan diner in London where all of the profits go to Surge as well as the development of a new sanctuary for farm animals outside of London. Winters has spoken at multiple companies, schools and universities in Europe and in North America, including 1/3 of UK universities and at 6 Ivy league colleges, where he was also invited to be a guest lecturer at Harvard University in April 2019. He has also given two TEDxTalks, one at Lund University and one at Bath University. Recently, Winters launched his own podcast called The Disclosure Podcast.
To keep up with the demand of animal products without compromising the environment, we need drastic changes in our food systems.
