from Spanish Stonehenge to the Mona Lisa of Dinosaurs, let us take you on an amazing journey of 10 surprising recent archeological discoveries.
10. Spanish Stonehenge
Intense drought exposed the Dolmen de Guadalperal, the landmark renowned as “Spanish Stonehenge”, which was long submerged beneath the waters of the Valdecañas Reservoir.
Spanish Stonehenge consists of about 100 boulders, some reaching as tall as six feet, forming a circle, and is estimated to be 7,000 years old. The monument has been underwater since the government built the reservoir in 1963 and up to 2019 only tips of the standing granite stones could be seen peaking out of the water.
The Dolmen of Guadalperal was first discovered in 1926, in an excavation campaign led by the German archaeologist Hugo Obermaier. A settlement was also found not far away from the site, thought to date back to the time of the monument’s construction.
9. A 1,000-year-old sword found in a lake in Sweden
Imagine leisurely swimming in the local lake and suddenly coming upon an ancient sword. Weird,right? Few people can brag about having even remotely such an amazing summer holiday experience as 8-year-old Saga Vanecek, who accidentally found a 1,500-year-old sword while she was swimming in Vidöstern Lake, Sweden.
This surprising discovery urged teams, including museum staff and local council to carry out more excavations at the site. As a result, they found more ancient items, such as a brooch and a coin from 18th century, hidden at the bottom of the lake.
8. Medieval Female Scribe revealed by her teeth
Even in medieval times there were women who contradicted restricting social norms. Women can’t have been scribes! Says who?
The discovery of a rare precious medieval mineral, lapis lazuli, in the dental plaque of a woman buried in the 11th or early 12th century at a German monastery led the researchers to examine how the woman of that time could have come into contact with that lavish and expensive mineral. What the pioneering research revealed was that the woman must have been a scribe, since the aforementioned mineral was known to be used to illuminate sacred manuscripts in medieval times.
7. Buried treasure dug out in Greece
Ready for some treasure hunt? Then stay tuned to hear more about the buried treasure dug out in Greece.
The University of Cincinnati archaeologist team had been working on an 18-month excavation project near the ancient Palace of Nestor, in the town of Pylos on the southwest coast of Greece, when they literally dug out buried treasure.
6. The Mona Lisa of dinosaurs
Are you a fan of Game of Trones series? Then I bet you’re gonna love hearing the story about the “Mona Lisa of dinosaurs”.
5. “Graffiti stone” in Jerusalem discovered to be part of a Crusader-era altar
What was before known as the “graffiti stone”, an undistinguished large rock tilted against a wall in a dark corner at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem’s Old City became an evidence of a complex and troubling religious and political scene of Jerusalim, which actually traces its roots way back in the past.
4. The newly-found room of the Golden House, Rome
Domus Aurea or "Golden House" was an immense palace built by the Emperor Nero in the heart of ancient Rome after the great fire in 64 AD had wiped out a big part of the city.
The Golden House covered about 125 acres over parts of the Palatine, Esquiline, and Caelian hills, and it was actually built as an estate that included not only a palace, but abundant gardens on top, vineyards, green pastures with flock and an artificial lake of immense size, so no wonder that it was described as “rus in urbe” or “countryside in the city”. It was built using groundbreaking technologies, and decorated in the most lavish and extravagant style using precious metals for embellishment.
3. A major breakthrough in Maya archeology
Thanks to advanced technology called LiDAR (light detection and ranging), researchers were able to scan more than 800 square miles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in the Petén region, Guatemala, and find tens of thousands of, previously undetected, Maya ruins, which include its infrastructure, along with farms, houses and defensive structures.
2. An ancient Aztec temple discovered after an earthquake in Mexico
This discovery will shake you to the ground! Quite literally. After the devastating earthquake in 2017, archaeologists responsible for evaluating the damage caused by the earthquake used radar to scan the 13th-century Teopanzolco pyramid south of Mexico City.

![15 Weirdest And Funniest Of Walmart! [Part 6]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sGSn5icLuX4/mqdefault.jpg "15 Weirdest And Funniest Of Walmart! [Part 6]
From people who just dont have a clue, to ones that are clearly not tasteful, or tactful. Join me as I reveal to you 15 of funniest and weirdest people of Wal-Mart!
15. The Hamburglar Strikes!
Anyone who has ever been to a McDonalds knows that they have some very memorable characters. Including one that is very mischievous in the form of the Hamburglar. Which, as the name implies, is a character that likes to steal hamburgers from the fast food chain.
What does this have to do with Wal-Mart? Simple, a woman walked into the store one day and was basically dressed as the Hamburglar. Why they thought that this outfit was appropriate for a Wal-Mart is a mystery lost to time. But theres no doubt in anyones mind that this is rather hilarious. Especially when you consider that just behind this woman is a sign for a Big Mac.
Which proves that even the universe likes to create perfect moments inside a Wal-Mart. Although, without the person taking the shot, the moment may have been lost forever.
14. The funny Man In A Dress lol ( meanwhile at walmart..)
As a popular meme would say...but why though?
Here we have a man going about his day in Wal-Mart, but with one very key difference. Mainly, this man isnt in what you might call standard attire. Instead, this man (who is clearly in his sixties) is wearing a dress. The public reaction..
No, really, hes just going about his time while wearing a basic spring dress. And for those who are glad its a still image, youll notice that the skirt of the dress is pretty low cut. Why this man, who is complete with long beard, would want to wear such a thing is beyond me. My guess is that somewhere along the line, he lost a bet, a very big bet. Else, why even bother?
What might get lost in his dress wearing though is that he actually is wearing shoes to match the outfit. No matter the reasons, this is one image youll likely not get out of your head very soon.
13. The T-Rex ( strange)
Its a hard life being a dinosaur. You were the dominant species in the past eras of the world, then a meteor and an ice age wiped out most of your species and other dinosaurs and now youre forced to live life amongst humans, including going to a Wal-Mart to shop for now basic necessities. Its so tragic that this T-Rex has to go and belittle itself when it...wait, what? Oh, thats not an actual T-Rex? Thats just a guy in a T-Rex suit? Duly noted.
Truthfully though, these dinosaur suits have been all the rage the past few years. They dont just show up in places like Wal-Mart, theyre at Comic-Cons, sporting events, and one person actually took on American Ninja Warrior in a dinosaur suit, and succeeded!
What really makes this picture worth it though is that there are two older ladies next to the T-Rex and theyre just as perplexed as we are as to why this person is there in Wal-Mart in the outfit.
In this case, you honestly have to wonder why Wal-Mart actually let him in. It honestly is kind of a security risk if you think about it.

12. Father Of The Year
For all you parents out there, or people who are thinking of having children, you know better than most that the worst thing to do when you have a young child is go shopping with them. Theyll often never be quiet, ask and beg for things youre not going to get, and then whine and cry when you dont get them. its a never ending and honestly exhausting thing, but, you still have to do it.
But for this guy? Yeah, he takes things to another level, because whether this picture is to be believed or not, hes not paying attention to his child, and is having them try and push the cart theyre on instead of leading them ride inside the basket.
Again, we dont have the context here, but thats not exactly the proper way to treat a child. Even if hes playing a game, this can end badly REALLY quickly. Guess well have to hope it ended well for all parties involved.
11. Too Much Skin
Its a fact of life that people can have all kinds of body types, and should be comfortable with them even at their worst. Or at the very least, if they arent comfortable, be willing to work hard to get better so that they can be more comfortable. However, if you are a person who has an excess of body shall we say it is common courtesy to make sure youre clothed enough to not expose all of said excess.
This lady didnt get that memo.
To be honest, I dont even know what Im looking at for the most part. Thats a lot of back skin, and that thin top is not concealing it well at all!
Know your limits, and make sure to respect others with your clothing choices.
10. The Cheetah...Guy?
This is another that Im going to put under, But why though? Because not only is this man wearing a cheetah outfit, hes actually posing for the camera in this shot! There are so many questions running through my mind its honestly crazy.")
