10 Bizarre Happenings and Discoveries You Won't Believe
From mummies with strange juice in their tombs to bizarre blood-red rain coming down in Siberia.
5.Ireland Stonehenge
The exhausting heatwave that has come to the British Isles brings a discovery in Ireland. A brand new Stonehenge was revealed as a result of the immense heat. Because of the ascending temperature thick grasses that hid the crop marks unveiled a whole array of settlements.
A photographer using a drone captured some photos of the new Stonehenge in Ireland, Newgrange, a tomb that was built 5000 years ago. In a radius of one and a half km, seven monuments were discovered, which is largest by density across the globe.
Roman ruins were discovered in Norfolk and Wales; a Victorian garden appeared once again in Lancashire. Airfields from World War 2 appeared in Cambridge and Hampshire. The scorching heat is yet to be over, and who knows what bizarre discoveries will bring us?
4. French Mastodon Skull
Southern France farmer hit the jackpot when he found a large part of a skull in 2016 on his estate, and for the most of the time, he left it hidden because it was unknown to him. In 2017 he made contact with experts in the Toulouse Natural History Museum and when they got to the sighting scientists were baffled. The That mastodon skull was first of its kind to be found from the species that are called in Latin- Gompotherium pyrenaicum. That species is extinct, and it also involves mammoths and elephants.
France has a lot of fossil sightings, but scientists didn’t have the luck, until recently. The skull is now complete, but before the revelation just four teeth of this mastodon, species were ever discovered. That happened approximately 60 km from Toulouse, in 1857, also on a local farm.
The skull is around 1.5 m long and weighs 600 kg with the plaster so it can be moved to a specified location. Skull's age varies from about 11-13 million years ago. The strange thing is that no traces of the body is found, only the skull. What species will the next discovery unveil?
3. Poisonous Books
The book from Umberto Eco's novel „The Name of the Rose" reportedly is now a matter of reality. Not one but three toxic books covered in arsenic were found in the region of Southern Denmark. The books originated from 16-17 the century covering a wide array of subjects.
Experts accidentally discovered the poisonous books, when they had an X-ray done on it’s contents. What the xrays unveiled was completely unexpected - the green paint from the books covers had a high concentration in arsenic. People covering the books in the green color was not a rare happening in the 19th century, since they realized long after that, that when ingested, arsenic is extremely poisonous.
Arsenic was used as a dye for dresses, stamps and it was considered safe, but that was proven otherwise obviously.
These books are set apart from each other, stored in individual boxes with labels marking their toxicity. Today, scientists want to make the text in digital form because it's complicated to handle them.
2. Elongated Paracas Skull
In 2014, researchers stumbled upon some elongated skull in Peru making it a fantastic revelation. Scientists did some DNA testing and came to a conclusion that these skulls have mitochondrial DNA. Experts determined they had mutations unknown to any species on the planet.
Another DNA testing was made, and the results are full of controversy just as the previous testing showing that the skulls have Middle Eastern and European descent aging around 2000 years.
This testing changed the history of how America first became populated.
1. Blood rain
Residents of Norilsk, Siberia were in a shock when on July 5th, 2018 blood-colored rain fell from the sky. Many people took footage and photos of what looked like a rain from Biblical plagues. A parking lot was full of reddish puddles and the cars had stains from the blood rain, it looked apocalyptic.
Blood rain’s coloration is actually caused by dust, that is picked and carried from long distances with the wind as a carrier. Probably, this rain was caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017 blowing the Saharan wind all the way to Siberia.
This phenomenon is rare but it was seen across some regions of Europe, occasionally not with blood red color but brown yellow. Some people say it’s not as dramatic as it seems, but the rain that looks like blood is falling down from the sky? You have to say it is pretty bizarre.
