9. Amazon Warrior Women
For a long time, Greek stories about fierce female warriors, called the Amazons, were widely regarded as purely mythical. At some point, however, historians and other experts began questioning whether these Amazon warrior women once truly existed.

8. Ancient Pirate King’s Treasure Trove
A small, uninhabited Greek islet in the Aegean Sea, called Vryokastraki, contains a treasure trove of artifacts that are helping to paint a picture of the region’s past, as well as the story of an ancient pirate king.

7. Nageswara Swamy Temple
Earlier this year, ambitious volunteers in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh discovered the sand-covered ruins of a 200-year-old Hindu temple along the Penna River. Locals had long known about the temple, called Nageswara Swamy, and collected money to fund its excavation since everyone was bored during quarantine and a group decided to take matters into their own hands!! In less than a day, the pinnacle of the long-buried structure was uncovered.

6. Zoomorphs Of Quirigua
During the 1880s, Alfred Percival Maudslay, also known as the “father of Mesoamerican archaeology,” discovered a series of zoomorphic structures at Quirigua, an archaeological site along the Motagua River in Guatemala, near the border with Honduras.

5. Ancient Sword
Roman Novák, a mushroom picker in the Jesenik area of northeastern Czech Republic’s Moravia region, recently discovered a rare, 3,300-year-old Bronze Age sword and an ax. He noticed the sword’s blade sticking out among some stones and so he dug further and was able to unearth the items.

4. Lola’s Chewing Gum
In the first-ever case of scientists extracting a complete ancient human genome from “non-human materials,” turns out ancient people also chewed gum! Studies of a wad of chewing gum covered in ancient salive found at the Syltholm archaeological site on the Danish island of Lolland is offering a clearer glimpse than ever at Europe’s early Neolithic hunter-gatherers.

3. Ancient Female Hunters
A recently published Science Magazine report confirms that the bones of an ancient hunter discovered at the Wilamaya Patjxa archaeological site in Peru belonged to a female, challenging long-held notions of traditional gender roles in prehistoric societies.

2. First-Ever Furnace
Archaeologists recently published a study revealing the discovery of a 6,500-year-old furnace in Beersheba, a city in southern Israel’s Negev Desert. The findings, featured in the Journal of Archaeological Science, resulted from three years of research at the site that began with an emergency excavation in 2017.

1. Early Humans In Greece
In mid-2019, a study revealed the possible discovery of the earliest human remains ever found outside of Africa. In the 1970s, skull fragments from two individuals were found along the coastline of southern Greece.
