Occasionally, archaeologists unearth items that leave even leading experts completely stumped. However, such discoveries are also a great chance to see the centuries of old objects. Here the list of 5 Most Unexplained Archaeological discoveries in history.
Gateway Of The Sun. It’s located in Bolivia and dates back to around 14,000 BC. Carved from a single piece of stone, the Gateway is approximately 2.8 metres high and 3.8 metres wide. Its weight is estimated to be 10 tons. The lintel is carved with 48 squares surrounding a central figure. Each square represents a character in the form of winged effigy. There are 32 effigies with human faces and 16 with condor's heads. All look to the central figure which some identify with the sun god. But no one knows its purpose. The Copper Scroll Treasure The copper scroll was discovered in 1952 in what it is now known as Cave 3 at Qumran. Analysis showed that it is composed of copper alloyed with a small amount of tin. The copper scroll is not religious and includes words and phrases not found in any other ancient text, making an accurate translation difficult. Many experts believe that might describe a massive amount of hidden gold and silver, but no one knows where that treasure might be or if it even exists.
