5 Out of Place Objects Archeologists Can't Explain
Вставка

- The object seen here is alleged to be a watch, discovered in 2008 within an ancient Chinese tomb from the Ming dynasty era that had been sealed for some 400 years. It was first thought to be a ring, but was reported to be a tiny gold watch with the word “Swiss” written on the back.
The Ming Dynasty ended in 1644, and Switzerland was not to be founded for another 200 years. The tomb itself has been dated to 500 years before the founding of The Old Swiss Confederacy... So how did this watch manage to find its way inside this ancient mausoleum?
While it is difficult to assess the exact date the first watch was created, it is known that watch technology dates back to around 1520, with almost no existing archeological watches predating 1550. As for ring-style watches, Queen Elizabeth I supposedly wore one in 1558, but they were not common among European nobility until 1780. Ring watches were not popular or sought after in China at any point during the Ming Dynasty.
Details of the find remain sketchy, with inconclusive information as to whether the artifact was found within the sealed tomb, or lain on top of it. Theories for its origin range from time-travellers who dropped the anachronistic artifact to the possibility that tomb-raiders may have accidentally left it behind. While the second theory can’t be discredited, the area showed no signs of thievery or damage. Alternatively, some suspect an animal could have picked it up and dropped it at the site.
Some also believe the mystery could be linked to the Knights Templar who are thought to be guardians of magical artifacts. They are rumored to have been central to the foundation of Switzerland and its long tradition of secrecy and are thought to have been active around the world at the time...
I honestly think most of this stuff can be chalked up to people significantly underestimating how smart and capable our ancestors were.
A fair point- there'll always be those that are 'humans are the greatest' and 'humans are just animals' but- lets be honest, the one thing we did rightfully earn is our place in the evolutionary chain. Many animals were smarter, faster, stronger, etc- but did they evolve to sapience? No, not yet anyway, we did.
Personally I think humanity peaked in the Neolithic to Iron Age
@@PeachysMom we haven’t even begun to peak
I agree. The human race has barely scratched the surface with our past history.
Exactly
The first one;
"This one deserves an award for originality - a Swiss watch discovered in an ancient Chinese tomb.
It’s still touted as ‘proof’ that time travel is real.
Sadly, the watch ‘found’ in an undisturbed 400-year-old tomb from the Si Qing era is a digitally edited fake."
Ugh god why
The antikythera mechanism is incredible - ancient people were far more intelligent and capable than we know.
Hopefully someone will find another one or something similar.
Yes, I think so too.
Nero's rotating dining room, the great Colosseum having navale battles on water and 'Machines of the Gods' with floating chariots using magnets used by the ancient Greeks in temples.
Ancient Man wasn't as stupid as modern monke think they are.
Not really … not that surprising and not at all accurate …
It was discovered that the Vikings would dig up the bones of some of their most legendary warriors, which were put into the fires that their blacksmiths used while forging new blades and other weapons to impart the strength of that warrior into the new weapon. Today modern man uses cattle bones (usually) while doing this, in a process called "case hardening", which adds significant amounts of carbon into the steel and creates an outer shell or "case" of extra hardened steel. There are some companies that do this process for peoples firearms to strengthen them to prevent scratches and dings if dropped on rock.
This is why the Vikings were known for having exceptionally strong weapons and were unknowingly doing so, because of their beliefs.
As it turns out, in Cicero's De re Publica (54-51 BC), he wrote about orreries and mechanisms of the same type as the Antikythera mechanism made by the Greeks. He and other Roman writers of the time attributed them to Archimedes. The surviving texts from ancient times describe many of his creations, some even containing simple drawings. One such device is his odometer, the exact model later used by the Romans to place their mile markers (described by Vitruvius, Heron of Alexandria and in the time of Emperor Commodus). The drawings in the text appeared functional, but attempts to build them as pictured had failed. When the gears pictured, which had square teeth, were replaced with gears of the type in the Antikythera mechanism, which were angled, the device was perfectly functional. So no, we do have ancient documentation of this technology and similar analog devices such as the Roman odometer in the same time frame as the mechanism, suggesting it was fairly widespread but definitely something only the rich might have been able to afford.
Never hurts to do the research.
Also, the youtube channel Clickspring has been making an antikythera device using ancient methods.
Only a few tools, good material, great skill, and just a replication job.
Great nugget of insight and knowledge. I appreciate that.
Bravo. You are always generating fantastic content after being a history major in college, you have legitimately inspired me to start making content. Thank you!
"Fuck all that talk and let's do it"
@@WvlfDarkfire😂 yeah enough chat get on it lol . I believe in you
Waiting on said content. 4months and counting...⏳⌚🥱🥱
Im a firm believer that most of history's "firsts" were just the first recorded to do something and nowhere near the first. So a terracotta head in mexico tells me there _was_ contact between Asia and South America before we thought it first occured. At least on extremely minor scales, but it only takes one person to drop one asian artifact hundreds of years before recorded history dictates for the facts to get screwed up!
agreed, given what we do know about the past it is not impossible that the Ulfbert swords were better because it used techniques learned from region we now call the middle east and well China, Scandinavian weapons back then were already tougher than most European weapons, and then Uthbert did something more, I don't know, just a thought
You didn’t mention the Russian spiral things. I’m going off memory but- Some metal spiral shaped things (spring shaped) that were made before technology to do so existed were found frozen somewhere in Russia. There’s more to this making it more unusual but I cannot remember what it is.
You talking about the OOPA's found in the Ural Mountains in Russia? That shit right there should have people really questioning our reality more. Like, how tf do you even fake that shit with moderate resource bruh 💀
@@blackshogun272 Probably that’s it. Metal spiral things. I’m going off memory but if I remember right, the biggest mystery about them is that they were ‘machined’ at a precision not possible before the 20th century.
The gold watch is a bit sus. Gold doesn't tarnish. Wouldn't be green if it was pure gold.
I liked this.
It’s a nice change from the military stuff.
Subscribed.
They had so little to do back then that specialized skills had time to become extremely specialized.
China is full of great mystery. Be great to know why the Longyou caves were built. But there is no record, we don't know who or why. Seems they were built as massive water reservoirs. The secret story if we ever learn one day, must be phenomenal.
They are decorated really nice for water storage.
The first is obviously an example of a compromised site. It happens all the time. History is replete with examples of treasure hunters from ancient times up to the modern day leaving behind items when they were looking for loot in an old site. They have discovered Roman era artifacts in ancient Egyptian sites, Medieval artifacts in Neolithic burial mounds, and Coca Cola bottle tops in Mayan sites. It is not shocking that an item from the 1600s-1700s was found in a Chinese site. Also, it is not shocking that if it was lost by a treasure hunter 200+ years ago, the ground would no longer show signs of having been disturbed.
Or, if that explanation seems too far fetched. . .ALIENS! 😁
Often, people think ancients were somehow ignorant. I'd argue this is largely due and owing to subscription to the idea of evolutionary science. To examine the documents from early Sumaria, Sudan, and Egypt, we see there were technological wonders that rival what we see today. Albeit, we like to think we are advanced we forget there were books in the time of Menes 2925 bce.
I think when it comes to human history progress isn’t linear, we make leaps and bounds and then regressions whether it’s from a disaster or simply one small group having a brilliant idea but it maybe not catching on at the time. I would bet these all probably did happen at the stated times as hard as it might be to wrap our minds around 😊
I agree.
Correct. We go forward and then fall back. We've had about the same DNA for 200,000 years. That's a lot of time for a lot extraordinary human minds to have existed.
yeah well i hope you're ready for the next leap backwards with the current state of affairs.
War
Yup there's still tribes living in essentially the stone age today as we discuss these things on our magic electronic bricks.
It's been thought that only a handful of individuals could possibly have had the skills to create the antlkythera mechanism. Among them was Archimedes.
Yeah this ain’t humanity’s first rodeo. At a guess, Pole flip / Flood / Ice Age x 3
I've been a Dark5 sub for years. Still love your work and constantly amazed you don't sprain your tongue!! Cheers Ausgranny 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤶
Interesting content as usual, thanks! Although it would have been nice to include a picture the terracotta Roman head.
I agree. Such pictures are readily available. It wouldn't have been difficult to include one. Anyone can find it just by typing "Roman Terra Cotta head found in Mexico" into a search engine.
I thought the watch found in the tomb was debunked already?
It was. But people will do anything for views.
The fact that this "watch" appears to have stopped at 10:10 -- just like every watch or clock in every advertisement or clip art photo, leads me to call BS on this one.
The 'watch' is a gumball machine prize. They were common toys when I was a kid. Sorry.
Yep, I had one
Another great channel. There is a lot of old Dark5 content that could be revisited here. I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos. 👍
I've already subscribed and would like to see videos on the mysteries of ancient Egypt and Greece.
The watch was dropped by somebody working the find. Complete idiocy thinking it came from a different time
JUST recently 'Sub'......Love 'Dark5' soundtrack(s)...........wished they would list them again....
I’m subscribed and I love this as well as your other channels. I find out of place artifacts fascinating. A video on items and people found encased in coal would be an interesting idea for a video. Thanks!
love the content!
If a Swiss watch was in the tomb then SOMEONE has been there recently -- that watch didn't travel back in time, so obviously the tomb wasn't sealed as well as everyone thought...
There’s nothing obvious about it
Loving this new content..and channel. Thanks so much.
Nampa Figurine, This makes me wonder if it wasn't dropped in a water well and found later from it moving through the aquafers. However the time line is at least 100 years off. Hmmm.
Everyone of these finds are establishing their origin dates based on what is around them. Earth quakes shipwrecks on top of other shipwrecks can account for the inaccurate dating. While the origins remain a mystery, the dating can be off by thousands of years
I think our ways of figuring out how old an item is (all the different forms we use today) r just about All inaccurate...at least 95% of the different methods r NOT reliable. Just like I don't believe humans were around at the very least 200,000+ years old & we used to be Much More advanced then we r now....thats just my belief. God Bless
Complete and utter nonsense, as usual. Every single 'mysterious object' in this video has either been completely debunked many many times, or fully explained.
why is this content in a different channel? why not the original?
Humans have come and gone, for as long as Earth has been habitable.
It does seem that in some ways we have become quite advanced in this cycle, but maybe just in different ways than those who came before us.
A theory is that the swords were ceremonially made with ground animal bones
I love how with the blacksmith stuff everyone forgets that our ancient ancestors had no distractions, no radio, no tv, no movies, no plays/opera (except for one put on at local festivals a few times a year), no internet or UA-cam or stupid fucking TikTok, you worked. If the rule of 10,000 hrs. is true then these men and woman were stacking numbers, they would become experts who were bound to innovate and there weren't alot of career choices.
I thought the ring watch was proven to be a hoax
It was. I remember seeing that because I had a cheap little ring watch like that in the early 80s
Just found this channel and subbed before even watching the video...another fantasic channel. As for things I'd like to see visited that would be anything to do with the unger drias age of man such as gobekli tepi or how ever they are spelt haha anything to do with the acenent appocolips by Graham Hancock and Randel Carlson and any others that have revieled info about that time period in history around 12,000 years ago..also anything to do with Atlantis and its suggested locations.
Everytime you start a new channel; I subscribe to it. You haven't let me down on good content yet.
if the watch is gold why is it corroding
Explore the lost city of the monkey God also called the white city in the mosquitia jungle in Honduras
Once you start basing ANYTHING using Evolution as a benchmark you can totally forget any accuracy.
That watch is fake or planted
The Roman era stone head found in the grave under a pyramid temple in South America could possibly have arrived by a Roman ship lost at sea (with no humans on board) that floated around for years and washed ashore near there.
It's a possibility.
I hope he does a video u.s. Hobbit since he did 1 on on the Giants found in Idaho as well as Wyoming as well as South America Peru
Where was this found? China? Hahha.. And you believe this is real? Its China.
Wow I have been laying here and listening to your voice on the last 20+ videos and lts still you but this must be one of your first ones because you sure sound young lol
Great video. Subscribed.
That’s awesome! I live right next to Nampa Idaho and had no idea !
Yes,I have subscribed to this and all of the Dark Channels, Thank You Sir!
Dark5 you should make one channel just like your old/original format. No voiceover, only text on screen, creepy music and ambiance. I miss that shit and so do many others!
I believe our ancestors had technology that we no longer have.
The antikythera mechanism is incredible. Thanks for the video! I said wow multiple times. Would love to see you do one on ancient technology like the Egyptian batteries and what not.
They weren't batteries, most likely used for plating metals
Great job on this video.
Oh snap, is this another channel from Dark5?!? Friggin sweet! He's always got awesome content! Much love Dark5, congrats on a new channel as well 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏼
Oh, and hell yeah I subscribed!!
3:28 Aaarrrggghhh! Can we please ban that cave man clip art that appears in thousands of UA-cam videos? 😀
Also ban emojis. Just like the one you used. They’re way more common than caveman clip art.
good stuff. keep em coming
That's my watch I dropped it 450 years ago.
Always glad to get a new Dark5
Yay, more Dark5 content!!!
While I am a realist and grounded in science, I do believe in worlds seen and unseen. Is time travel possible? The Mayans believed that time was circular, so of course the lines might be blurred from time to time. People in Peru have told of a flat stone surface that seems to transform to a portal and that priests/shamans disappear through it. (I've been there and didn't go anywhere.)
Based on Graham findings it's suggested there was a civilization at least at advanced as ours before a cataclysm event occurred

You didn't have the time traveling mushrooms before stepping on the platform😂
The Roman head had been debunked by one of the archeologists as a prank he pulled on others.
And the first one (the ring watch in the Chinese tomb) is a famous photoshop hoax.

i know your scared to fight me
im much bigger and stronger then you boy
@@lordsosa9383 Um. . . what?
The Roman figurine just makes me shake my head. "Scientists" doubt a people known for their boat-making and sailing prowess actually visited a distant place, but then chalk it up to two other peoples who weren't particularly known for their naval skill? If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it's probably a duck. If you have to pluck off all the feathers so you can say it's a dragon, you're either an idiot or just being deceitful.
Why present "sketchy" items?
Nova scientific documentary series is WGBH, they would work with the BBC but it can’t be both. BBC’s most famous documentary series is panorama, news and current affairs is its best.
That's an old tin fake watch ring from an 80s gumball machine. Ancient people had different measures of time.
The antiKythera mechanism is more advanced than in that time frame but not a ton. It'd be like finding a creation of Tesla. Ahead of it's time, but not by much.
Obviously someone figured out a way to break in
why so many channels? why not stick with Dark 5 and Dark Docs?
Why ask why ?! 😆😆
With the Ulfbert swords, someone probably learned the technique in Asia and applied it in Europe as a "new" craft.
Intricate gears can be very easily created with files, which have been in use by humans practically forever
When the stage hands left they forgot to double check their pockets.
So far this new channel is really good 😊 thanks for posting
It’s not new
I would have liked to see the head closer up found in Mexico I believe. Enjoying all your videos
We will never fully know about these things because we weren't there.
What about:
Noah's hammer
Dino + human footprints.
Artifacts in coal seams.
Smithsonian style coverups.
Why don’t you show clear images of the objects your discussing. It’s frustrating to hear you describing something and the imaginary doesn’t reflect it. Seems weird. Why?
I'll believe that "tale" about the watch when I see it even exists, let alone some actual records? Love the channel, but this story is an obvious crock; now There's an ep. you shld do - where did the first crock-of-shit originate frm?
I'd love to see a video of the London hamer
I heard a thought on the Ulfbert swords a while back that perhaps Ulfberth was a real person and had a team of workers who learned his art, and that one or two of them were themselves imported for their knowledge of working with Damascus swords. I wonder of if one of these workers were possibly Asian, ie what we now call Chinese or Japanese.
and brought with them the art of sword making and the result was the Ulfberth swords, and perhaps based on other comments about these swords there was more than one generation of maker, but they ended up taking their art secrets with them to the grave.
speculation of course since most do not accept the idea that people spread across the world back then. and there is no proof found that anyone really knows of. so yeah just a thought
lol, details of the find remain sketchy - therefore it must be time travelers...
Who made the giant “rock wall” that Rockwall, Texas is named after?
If we would stop assuming extreme ages and just look at evidence and go where it leads, it would not be so contradicting. That probably will never happen.

Now my theory is that human beings are far more intelligent that we give ourselves credit for just look at how far we've come in the last 60 years from no computers to literally living in space in 60 years so you take the tens of thousands of years that human beings had to advance and every now and then you get one that is so intelligent they will play around with materials until they find a better way to use them so the device found on the Roman ship was most likely to circumnavigate the entire planet which explains why Roman artifact was found in Mexico dating from the same era not because aliens not because of Chinese or any other Asians trading definitely not because of Viking of course there is the theory that states that the knights Templar when ordered murdered and but they disappeared along with all the treasure gallions there were sitting in the harbor ended up in Scotland and Ireland where are they evolved into the Freemasons and Christopher Columbus's father-in-law was a Freemason and shortly before petitioning for his trip around the world he travels to see his father-in-law and supposedly this is where the map to get to America came from which means that be nice Templars who were from the holy Roman empire and made it to America hundreds if not thousand years before any other Europeans if you do the math that adds up not to mention the fact that there's been other artifacts found in America that point to Romans and Knight Templar being here before Columbus and the bike but it's always considered either falsified evidence for just complete the ignored by mainstream science because if they can't place it then hey it's not true but how do you explain the roads built to the island of Crete that have been underwater for 7,000 years and are in perfect shape and they will build a Time before settlements in that area where even advanced enough to build roads according to mainstream science the first roads were built in 4000 BC in Babylon Mesopotamia which still makes them younger than the roads that were built running from Crete to Rome I mean they've been submerged for 7,000 years that means they had to have been built and used for several hundred years minimum before the water levels Rose high enough to submerge them that would put them at at least 1500 years older than the previously known oldest road according to mainstream science. And if you have a society that is smart enough to literally invent steam engines and robotic toys that serve drinks then you have engineers smart enough to build the first analog computer because you don't just build toys with new technology first of all it's extremely expensive time consuming and pretty much impossible to just randomly invent new type of toy altogether what would been the point of coming up with a device that could pour drinks by winding the gear in it it was either an offshoot of the first analog computers or it was the beginning research leading to the devices that allowed the Romans to start navigate the entire planet that's why a Roman letters new rules words architecture artifacts have literally been found across the entire planet but science says it's either alive somebody planted it they made it up or it's a flute it was dropped there why can't we just admit to ourselves that we're a lot smarter than we got ourselves credit for why would aliens come to this backwater planet and established trade with two continents for obviously One trade agreement and then leave without the ability for us to continue improving ourselves no race that advance would expose themselves to anyone less advanced let alone for something so simple there's a reason that we have not heard from extraterrestrials it's because we can't even stop killing ourselves and we're the same species what do you think we'll do to an entirely new species especially if they introduce themselves and give us faster than light travel and the weapons that go along with it you got your trumpers and white supremacists that would try to wipe out every species in the galaxy that doesn't look like them
The swiss watch was obviously dropped by someone post Switzerlands founding lol
If the small clay figure was found at that depth while drilling with that small diameter piping (only a few inches wide), imagine how many other small figurines might be down there.
It's always time travel or alien's with this channel.
One is impossible physically. And the other hasn't happened yet, and most likely never will.
it maybe they didn't develop over time these advanced techniques and sword making maybe the technique they made to begin with was that it enough unless.
Do a show on the runestones in Oklahoma.
Yes I have subscribed
Ancient peoples sailed across the Atlantic prior to Columbus? Inconceivable!
What if the country's name has something to do with the watch?
Most of these are 100% explainable. Ugh humans are ignorant.
The mechanism probably fell off a boat sank into the water then lodged itself on to the ancient shipwreck, and became one with it over these experience of years.
Like tripping and falling, so your head lodges in a .... That sort of serendipity happens ALL the time!
Except that there is writing on it in ancient greek and the decomposition of the components would not be so great.
love this channel and these mysteries
At the time of time traveling, my ring was lost in China, Thank god! Now it is found!
Millions of years is crazy. IYKYK
As for the swords, we know exactly where the steel came from: India and China.
The Dark channels are like a faceless Simon Whistler with a channel for tons of different topics.
