9. Ancient “S.O.S.” Letter
Over 3,000 years ago, the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II received an S.O.S. message on a clay tablet from the Queen of Hittites, who ruled in what is now Turkey, stating: “I have no grain in my lands.”

8. Mogao Caves
The Mogao caves, also called the “Caves of the Thousand Buddhas,” are what they sounds like: a series of hundreds of hand-carved caves containing thousands of Buddha depictions on the walls and ceilings, as well as over 2,000 brightly-painted sculptures of Buddha and other figures.

7. Lost “Dragon City”
In 2017, a team of archaeologists working in central Mongolia made some seemingly important discoveries near the banks of the River Orkhon in the country’s Arkhangai province. But a lack of funding prevented the experts from exploring further and forced them to put the dig on hold.

6. Offering Table Of Defdji
Little is known about the 165-pound (75 kg) alabaster tablet known as the Offering Table of Defdji, which measures 19.3 inches (49 cm) in diameter and five inches thick (13 cm). This rare Ancient Egyptian artifact is remarkable for numerous reasons, namely its round shape, as most of the civilization’s offering tables were rectangular, according to the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, Netherlands, which houses the object.

5. Kangaroo Island Log
In what appears to be a woefully boring discovery at first glance, archaeologists working on Australia’s Kangaroo Island unearthed a mysterious log in 2016. Subsequent ground penetrating radar data revealed the possible presence of more buried logs, further deepening the mystery and indicating that a former shipyard may exist at the site.

4. Iron Age “Mystery” Murder Victim
In mid-July of this year, the 2,000-year-old skeletal remains of a man who met a violent end were discovered facedown at a site called Wellwick Farm in Buckinghamshire, England. Archaeologists working for the U.K.’s HS2 high-speed rail project made the gruesome find, along with numerous other significant artifacts, including a Stonehenge-like wooden formation, a Roman burial, an Iron Age coin and funerary monument, and other objects dating from the Neolithic Age to the Medieval period.

3. Egyptian Anchor
While swimming off the coast of Atlit in January 2018, an Israeli veterinarian named Rafi Bahalul spotted a heavy trapezoidal stone object with a hole at the top and rounded corners. The artifact was covered in hieroglyphics and ornaments, prompting the man to swim deeper to get a closer look and to touch the item.

2. Phoenix Button
During a typical leisurely outing with friends and fellow metal detector enthusiasts at a public beach along Puget Sound in Washington State, a tugboat worker named Phil Massie discovered a brass button unlike anything he’d ever seen before. Measuring less than an inch (2.54 cm) in diameter, the button was buried about six inches (15.24 cm) underground

1. The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon
The definitive locations of six out of the original Seven Wonders of the World have been established, but the whereabouts of the famed Hanging Gardens of Babylon remains a long-standing mystery that seems like it may never be solved. A Greek engineer named Philo compiled the list around 225 B.C., and while only the Pyramids of Giza still stand today, documentary and archaeological evidence has helped to identify where five of the others once stood.
