7 Mysterious Objects We STILL Don't Understand

- From strange dodechahedrons to ancient machinery to pipes that just...should be there...these are the 7 Most Mysterious and Ancient Objects We STILL Don't understand.
We don't know what these trinkets were used for, but what we do know is that they are extremely well designed, as in 1994 two German men, Peter Belting and Conrad Lubbers, created simplified versions of the Quimbaya artefacts fitted with radio controlled aircraft technology.
6.) The Lanzhou Screw
This mysterious object was discovered in 2002, a simple rock which dates back around 300 million years old. It was found in the Mazong Mountain area on the border of the Gansu and Xijiang provinces, and whilst this particular type of rock isn't naturally found in this area and has a mysterious composition that is yet to be determined, that is far from the most fascinating thing about it.
In the Qinghai Province of China exists a strange collection of metal pipe work which has baffled those who are attempting to study its origin. Initially discovered by a group of American palaeontologists, these pipes lead into Mount Baigoing from a salt water lake close by. So okay, clearly this was built by a group of ancient Chinese freshmen who wanted to build a hot tub somewhere on the mountain right? Well not according to scientists who've studied them.
This object was discovered by a man named Dmitry who was mining for coal in the Vladivostok region of Russia in 2013. The strangely shaped hunk of metal looks man-made doesn't it, and closely resembles a tooth wheel you'd find in a regular microscope. However, the intervals in between each tooth indicate it was part of a much larger mechanism, and if you're thinking this was just discarded by some lazy scientist out of their car window you are wrong.
These objects are known to have been created by the Romans and date back to around the second or third centuries, so there's no weird alien backstory to this one. We call them Roman Dodecahedrons, and they are often made of bronze or stone and covered in a mixture of zodiac signs and weird undecipherable symbols. The first was uncovered in 1739, and since then we've found another 115 of these artefacts, yet we still have no clue as to their actual purpose.
In 1909 American Army Major Frederick Barnham and his associate Charles Frederick Holder discovered a huge stone in the Yagui Valley, Mexico which has now been identified as Mayan in origin.
Discovered just outside Baghdad in 1936, the Baghdad Battery comprises of a small clay jar, an iron rod, and a cylinder of copper. These three items aren't particularly interesting on their own, but when the iron rod is suspended inside the cylinder, the cylinder is soldered shut, and you place this into the jar, you have the makings of a rudimentary battery. - Zábava
My wife should be on this list.
Is she looks like an airplane or the Baghdad battery? : /)
mate that joke's been done to death
No way!!! Nathan's back. Everyone rejoice the ruler has returned.
Yay our Nathan has returned!
yaaaaas
FINALLY!! Our lord Nathan has returned
hail nathan!
I just read the ruler has reruled
The plane shaped gold object is actually part of a series of flying fish sculptures. Flying fish are common in the same area of which the artifacts were located.
that does make sense, but it is very hard to believe that they made these sculptures that can legitimately fly when scaled up with the exact same design and ratios by accident if they really were just interpretations of birds and flying fish. Making something that can fly requires precision and knowledge, not something you can really do just by coincidence.
paper airplanes fly with little or no practice creating them.. not like its hard to make something that flies..
+yelsew82 paperplanes doesn't fly, the glide...
+yelsew82 Well I guess you're right. You got me XD
1:27 freeze......kind of proves that
Or maybe they just don't want tourists to touch the highly radioactive pipes.
Y'know, because they're highly radioactive.
The aliens finally let Nathan come home!!!!
it was rough
+Strange Mysteries very happy you're back! Your voice is much better than that other guy.
+Strange Mysteries yaay
+Strange Mysteries hey you voice like it
Dat is Sexy.
Nathan's back!! I'll cherish this moment..
He was probably just sick fam, chill. You scare me
We did it, guys.
😑
The swastika actually was a widely used symbol all over the world, from Asia to the Nordic countries to even Native American cultures.
its almost sad to tell people my ancestors are from Germany. far as I can tell they were here before the war started. exept maybe one set of great gradparents. but ya. no harm no foul
I always blamed ancient antisemitic aliens for creating that geometric figure because it's COMPLETELY impossible for humans to create that on their own even though many languages in different parts of the world developed similar characters.
Mate, in 30,000,000 years, people will find an iPhone 6 in the ground and be like "dafaq is this!? Why is there an extra hole on the top!?" And thus, sparking up a world mystery...
There is an episode of "The Simpsons" where humans in the future are trying to work out how "Bart was here" was written IN SOLID CONCRETE!!!!! There are simple solutions to many things, they are just not evident to us.
I swear, as soon as I recognized that once familiar voice behind that little screen I immediately hit the "Like" button. And that was like 2 seconds into the clip.
You and me both. I was starting to think he'd never come back because of all those dicks who made fun of him in past videos
I liked your comment right when I read I swear cuz I knew what your were gunna put
Gone for almost 2 months. I think it was a health thing. Probably had to go to the hospital.
+IAmDeath people like me. But I give him credit, he talks much better NICE JOB NATHAN
Same
Well look who dropped in! :D
A Quimbaya representative?
Get the clay jar battery they said. Sooo portable and easy to use they said.
Always happen with new technology...
love u bro
Bae!!!
"is this evidence that ancient civilizations existed?"
I think that we already have enough proof that they existed...
T-Rex in a lab coat is my spirit animal
"t-rex in a LAB COAT" nailed it!!
Everyone was making fun of nathan and posting hatful comments against him and when he leaved everybodys comments turned into "wheres nathan?" "I miss nathan" "i liked nathan more" did anybody else notice that?
Because he is awesome
Yeah people are dicks
I've bin thinking about that forever!
+Johana Resendiz awesome probably both
+Ryan Donnelly lil mayo loves you all
we are entering a dark age . music is devolving
Abandoned NorthJersey FACTS.. why should one abandom north Jersey

The sun in my eyes
Puns.
peter griffon i never seen you where you been?
Never mind all that i like the guys voice im going to like the video just because of that, (Im mocking the retards)
hahaha
I think we're not giving ancient people enough credit. We have just as much brain potential today as we were thousands of years ago, so why couldn't people have invented things like kick-ass gliders and such? Human beings are crazy smart and when we get bored we create cool stuff. Then we decorate than cool stuff with more cool stuff and the result is something that doesn't make logical sense. Try explaining a big metal wind chime to a time traveler, for example.
The thing is: paper rots. Wood rots. Fabric rots. We only have the more permanent records and objects around today, so it's obvious that we don't have the delicate things anymore. All we have are metal depictions of something that unfortunately didn't survive wear and tear, and after a few generations of being out of style everyone forgot about them. I want a dragonfly glider, damnit!
Good point.
I agree, it really annoys me when people claim that any ancient structures they don't understand must have been made by either aliens or giants
Writing, Math, Medicine, Astrology and the wheel. I am so proud of my parents comming from Iraq ;). Many people forget the important history behind the country.
Great video, keep up the work!
He should make a video called '7 mysteries on where Nathan went and how he came back'.
Nathan! You're back! I like the other narrator, but you're the man. Maybe you guys can swith off narrating every other day?
I totally wouldn't mind that! I did like the other narrator too! Both of them are great
Actually I hated some of Nathan's quirky narration. He's improved 100%!! I really enjoyed this video! I like the other guy he hired also though. Either way it's still Nathan's script. Good job Nathan!
+Cow Chop HM 🐮🔪
Nathan for you?
nathan izzzz baccck!!! just subscribed again!?!???? oh what a relief
Good to have you back ☺
literally Jumped out of my sit when i heard his voice. Welcome back lord commander.
we should make a religion called nathanism
this is a good idea.
+Strange Mysteries . is it approved or nah!?
please do more voice overs. You deliver jokes perfectly
How do i join?
+Strange Mysteries where have you been man we missed ya
Good to hear you again Nathan!!
Best narration yet! I really enjoyed it this time! Great job!
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, how was your vacation?
OMG I thought the same thing!
can you do your next video about when you die where do you go
i'll keep it in mind
+Strange Mysteries Nathan!
+Strange Mysteries don't a war will happen
+Strange Mysteries Nathan do one on hells gate
+Strange Mysteries hey Nathan would your last name happen to be drake?
I like this Top Mysteries channel. A lot less spooky and creepy than most others and adds that feel of curiosity rather than fear.
Every freaking time I watch any of your videos it make me look over my shoulder, you guys are awesome keep up the good work
HE LISTENED AND CAME BACK!!!
Wish my dad did
+f*ckers in school telling me wish my penis did
yay! nathan is back!
I love your channel Nathan and your narration, who was the other voice in your recent videos? He was a very comical fellow.
Fun way to be introduced to this channel.
Nice to hear your voice again Nathan. By the way who was the guy who did the voiceovers while you weren't? His voice sounded kinda familiar to me..
I think Nathan's had the other guy on his channel before for some videos. Not sure though.
Jody Baxmeyer
dude number 2 isnt 300 million years old.
It was you...... :D
Dude, you're not really so smart either, he tried to say number 2 is the second, like 7 is number 1 and 6 is number 2...
that other guy wasnt really that bad but that being said im glad nathan is back
One of my favourite video's on here.........
(especially the maya aircraft)
The Roman dodecrahedon was proven out to be a quick knitting tool to make gloves. * Fingerus Coverum Maximus Wal-martium. *
my goodness he's back
3. Another possibility for the dodechahedrons is that they were used as a thermostat. If left out in the sun the metal heats up, and an accompanying ball or stick would be passed through the holes. The more holes you can pass the ball through gives you an idea of the temperature.
Based on what you are saying it could also be a portable calendar of some sort that can be used as a compass of you were on place or boat, since it’s easy at night be navigate by stars but by day you would need another method. By the same principles as you have described they could navigate by day.
Yay! Nathan's back!
I'm a sloppy time traveler, so sue me.
Sue doesn't date time travelers.
So sloppy that you left a youtube comment and went back to the future
i feel like crying, thank you lord Nathan for blessing us with your presence.
I think the mayan carvings just happened to be similar. I mean swastika is an incredibly simple geometrical shape. Some kid could have carved it as a graffiti.
I thin that too. XD
ya in art class, sort of thing.
T Rex in a lab coat. You made my day
Where is the Chintimani Stone? Or the Statue of El Dorado?
mysterious objects we dont understand 2
+Strange Mysteries among theives
What is the Statue of El Dorado?
+GermanyFan01 an ancient artifact that possesses an ancient curse
Where was it found?
talking about ancient screws..."what screwed them over" lol was that pun intended?
one of the best comedy channels on youtube xD
Sure....I will love it
Thank's,keep it up mn
Everyone my nigga Nathan is home
NATHAN
Good, interesting vid.
Welcome back Nathan
Number 7 could have been used as weapons launched from a slingshot
1:25 i am more inclined to believe that these resemble fish with the eyes and the teeth and the pectoral fins. modern aircraft do not have teeth, eyes and fins.
A-10 warthog lol
or the earliest versions of MiG lol
Ancient civilizations often out animal features onto non-animal ornaments and objects. That doesn't really take away from the fact that these very much look like airplanes. But, I think the most plausible answer is that these are just pimped out versions of ancient glider toys people made for their kids.
It's just a representation of a dragon with a tail, the proof of it is there a face, if it was a representation of a plane, then, there will be no dragon head.
The dragon shape was taken from the shapes of actual existing flying animals. Flying animals have aerodynamically efficient body shapes. Therefore, the aerodynamically efficient shape. I don't see the mystery there.
There would be no dragon head? Maybe, maybe not.
Was there a scientific reason for vikings to put dragon heads on their longboats? Did it make the boats faster or safer? No, the reasons were entirely cultural.
I'm not saying that those things are actually supposed to be airplanes. Just that people designing planes in dragon style is plausible. Heck, there is even a plane decorated with Pikachu...
Daniel Simard you ever see a figurehead in a ship?
i like ur vids a lot... plz keep doing it. its very educational n it helps a lot in clearing some of the false info that r given to us just to keep the real truth hidden. so thank u :)
Scientists at Argon Labs near Chicago have proven that coal can be formed in a matter of weeks and have done this in an experiment. That toothed gear piece could be modern.
didn't you hear that studies showed it's millions of years old
-,-
Well if the Scientists can replicate the process,
it proves that coal can be created in a short time. And scientists have used the Ca. 14 testing method on an unearthed prehistoric wolf dug out of the Siberian Permafrost that exhibited widely varying ages from different
parts of the animal. Many thousands of years difference from tip to tail. So how reliable is that method of testing for age on carbon bearing substances?
yea what i'm trying to say is go back to the video and listen what he says you know that that specific piece is millions of years old and the guy says it could be modern
I've missed that voice bro...
tbh i also like the other narrator. You should do 1/2 vid nathan
The Roman dodecahedron, made of metal, found at 4:57, has twelve different size holes. The text at 5:38 says "...candlestick holders (wax was found inside two examples)..." Back in the days before standardized candlestick sizes, the hand-made candles were all different sizes. These were universal candlestick holders. The knobs were feet to keep the device stable on a tabletop, no matter which way it was turned. The stone ones were done in this style because it was a popular candlestick holder design. You soften the base of the candlestick with flame and press it onto the stone candlestick holder.
Nathan we missed you wooohoooo your back!!!
This is not a place to get educated people. Don't watch these videos for facts.
Smarter Everyday, Veritasium, Vsauce...
ITS FUCKING N A T H A N
4:55 "a t-rex in a lab coat" me - ALPHYS!!!!!!
cool, nate is back.
Ancients used dragons to show fire or a creature that breaths fire. Those plane trinkets are interesting, they are planes with a dragon head, so fire? right? That is more interesting, think about it.
Sorry to ruin the magic, but there is a species of catfish located in a river near where the trinkets were found that looks remarkably like the artifacts.
Really, could you site that? Sounds interesting.
The trinkets look like fish, not birds.
Look more like fancy golden dicks with wings, don't look like fish even a tiny bit to be honest.
KreZn1x
Nah, dicks with with wings was an ancient European thing.
At :22 That is call hardened lava.
the little circles on the wings of the gold amulets remind me of the air swirling around the wings like what you see in a wind tunnel test.
The moble strike ad is a never ending cycle of death
#7 - The Quimbiya or Tolima gold sculptures that are supposed to be of space ships are of catfish. Of course they aerodynamic. Fish by nature are aerodynamic.
#6 - Those screws are fossilized ancient shellfish.
#4 - There is no provenance to that aluminum object. How do we know it REALLY was found in a piece of coal? How do we know that it wasn't put there by a broken piece of mining equipment?
#3 - We know who made them and when they were made. All we don't know is why. They look like gambing pieces.
#2 - The Mayans probably made the symbols up themselves. There is no proof otherwise.
#1 - Never underestimate the ingenuity of people.
Fish are not "aerodynamic" (though I suppose flying fish are to a small extent). Fish are hydrodynamic.
Fish may seem to fly/glide, but all possess one of three things at least by any artists hand when wanting to convey the notion his offering is that of a fish. A Dorsal fin. A Caudal fin, or the most common...Scales. Without at least one of these, there is no defining feature that says "FISH". Not now, nor in any image or sculpture I can find in all the long history of art does such an example exist.
What about #5
These are your assumptions, not facts, right? Imma move on then.
Stop bashing the third Reich, pleb.
found a nazi
+Bernie ist ein Bolschewik Jude lol
Rebel420 Free Rebel Army The west needs it's religious foundation to maintain cultural and moral order. Without religion we are a bunch of transgenders, gays, sluts, thugs etc. We need to let people know that if you aren't a good person than you will burn alive forever and that if they behave they will go to heaven. Only way to keep the humans in line with natures rules. Man and women have a child and raise it according to God's law. God may not exist but we sure as hell need God. Don't rebel against a God and western values. We need to preserve the west or we will fall like the Romans.
Religion... HAHAHAHA (get it, it's a joke).
+Bernie ist ein Bolschewik Jude the last braincells you have were just removed gj
Esperanza Stone is so interesting. I can barely find info one it. THat's the most fascinating thing to me on the list.
on #2: all it proves is that lines sometimes cross in certain angles
wonderful news, thanks for sharing it.
I love your intro!
Enjoyed this video but was feeling sleepy and woke up to meet those alien eyes around time 4:51. Really freaked me out for a while
Good video!
Nathan's voice returned to Strange Mysteries and I... JIZZED IN MY PANTS!
yea!!!! Nathan is back!!!
'Baghdad battery' most likely used for electroplating...
yay, it's Nathan, my favorite narrator!
Yay Nathan's back
Amazing !!!
okay... you got me... i'll subscribe.
edit: did it.i just like how you leave it all up in the air for the viewer to think about instead of drawing your own conclusions.
I always thought the Roman dodecahedron was just a fancy gimbal, probably for an inkwell or something.
#3 Looks like it'd be a pretty fun "toy" to roll around... Maybe they had an ancient game they played with it when they were bored that they never really bothered writing down because it was so casual and common? Who knows?
love your video
"A T-Rex in a lab coat?" Literally my aesthetic
He's BACK ! YAY !
The battery may have been used for electroplating. Still cool though.
Strawberries, ice! Haha, the 'ancient' artefact at 1min has a modern pin badge fastner.
Nathan is back!!!!
YAAYY he's back :)))))
hahaha I still can't get the T-Rex in a lab coat out of my mind
number 3 is probably the inspiration of treyarch making the summoning key LOL
(7) I think it means that they are trying to represent a way a human can try to fly not trying to make a plane
good video, better than most.
Hey he is back yeah where have u been man
