13. Shiva Lingas
In India, a body of water known as Shamala river in Karnataka found itself at levels much lower than what it usually was. The reason for this was a mix of overuse by the local people and a drought that swept through the area. When the water levels dropped, it revealed something that no one expected, ancient sculptures known as Shiva Lingas.

12. The Mystery Stella
Egypt was home to many Pharaohs, both male and female, but one of the most famous of all was that of Ramses II. He was not only well-known, he was one of the longest-reigning pharaohs in Egyptian history. Making many curious when a stella was found during a dig that featured him making an offering to a god.

11. Dinosaur Footprint
The idea of dinosaurs leaving traces of themselves behind is nothing new, in fact, many archaeologists have found bones of dinosaurs throughout the centuries. But in terms of leaving footprints behind? That's a little more special, because given how the world changes, a simple footprint in the dirt would be hard to keep intact. Unless...you're in Daimler Peninsula in Australia’s Kimberley region.

10. New Dead Sea Scrolls
There are many historical documents in the world that hold a major place in the world's history, but few of them compare to the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls. These scrolls were found by accident, and sold off for cheap because the children who found them didn't know what they had. What they had found was the oldest known copy of the Bible.

9. A Human Jawbone
You might look at this entry title and think, "A human jawbone? How is that an amazing discovery?" Well it's quite simple, you can't think of it as just a jawbone, you have to think of it as a jawbone with a lot of age attached to it. You see, this jawbone (found in 2018) is believed to be the oldest human bone found outside of Africa.

8. Hominins and Humans
Human evolution is a very important field of study, not the least of which is because it helps determine the origins and grows of our species. One of our "forefathers" if you will were the Hominins. They have been studied by many for a long time, but a 2018 study reveals that in the Arabian Peninsula, they might have lasted for much longer than expected.

7. The "Second" Pyramid
In Egypt, a discovery in 2017 of a new pyramid belonging to a dead pharaoh made some waves. While this may not be the most "legendary" of finds, it's a curious one because 60 years prior, in 1957, another pyramid was found...and it housed the very pharaoh that was named on the 2017 one. Which begs the question, what's going on here?

6. King Henry VIII's "Blockhouse"
King Henry VIII is one of the most famous, and infamous, kings in the history of the world. He's legendary for his "mood swings" that made him a very vindictive man. And part of this "side" of him went from being a legendary "poster boy" to the Church and the Pope, to suddenly deciding to ransack the Church and take all the wealth they had for himself.

5. Cargo Ship Under The World Trade Center
After the tragedy that was 9/11, the people of the United States decided to rebuild the site of the former Twin Tower into what we know now as One World Trade. Yet to do so, they had to dig down deep into the Earth to help secure the foundation of the new building. As they reached about 20 feet down, they found something very odd, a cargo ship.

4. The Hunley
The history of naval warfare is littered with radical concepts and disastrous test runs and combat tests. A good example of this is the submarine known as the Hunley. What might surprise you right off the bat is that this submarine was let loose into combat in 1864.

3. Neolithic Mask
At first glance, the mask you see here (found in 2018) appears to be nothing special. But actually, it's anything but. For you see, this was a mask that was made around 9000 years ago. During a part of the Neolithic Era, making it quite the find. Adding to the story, it was honestly found by accident in Israel.

2. Body In A Tree Trunk
In 2015, a body was found in the trunk and roots of a tree near Collooney in County Sligo, Ireland. The tree itself was 215 years old, and thus this was an ancient death, and the only reason the body was found was due to a strong wind blowing the tree over, and the body being found during the "clean-up" of the incident.

1. Different Declaration Of Independence
In 1776, the people of the Colonies agreed to separate from England and become their own country. The document that helped proclaim this was called the Declaration of Independence. This legendary piece of paper is a key part of American history, and there have been many versions of it shown throughout the years.
