Top 10 Archeological Discoveries

[MrZachgonz]

I would think the rosetta stone would be more important than number 5. It basically made it possible to read egyptian hieroglyphs and thats pretty damn important.

[mindGamesEU]

Tutenkhamun? or however it's spelt.

[Orim669]

You're forget Troy, discovered by Schliemann in 1871, one of the great myth and legends of humanity that turned into one of the greatest archeological sites ever.

[silver760]

The Rosetta stone was not discovered in France,it was found in Rosetta in the Nile delta and had been used as construction material for Fort Julien.It was discovered by a soldier Pierre-Francois Buchard in 1799 of the French expedition to Egypt.

[rogo321321]

what about the melinium clock, why isn't this on the list?

[chezzyms]

What's the dead sea scrolls

[Texan2525]

@chezzyms The dead sea scrolls are a collection of texts from the Hebrew Bible and are the oldest known surviving copies of Biblical and extra-biblical documents written in Hebrew Greek and Aramaic but we don't know who wrote them it is believed it was written by The Essens a Jewish priest sect but experts debate if the really did. The significance of this is document is the improve the knowledge between Christianity and Judaism maybe prove the two religions are connected.

[yoyocomedy]

doesnt the oil from our hands help erosion? stop touching the artifacts with your bare hands!

[NbSxbox]

these bin weevils ads are pissing me off

[Vildman12]

who cares..its tastes nice

[jasonsdeathpage]

How about the discovery of porn

[fossilhunterCarlos]

actually the mammoth is a paleontology find because it is an extinct animal, in other words its a well preserved fossil.

[TheScreamingWaffle]

In soviet Russia mammoth hunts you!

[unbound1978]

Wait...what!!? The Rosetta Stone was discovered in France, 1799. No it wasn't. It was 'rediscovered' by a Frenchman in 1799 during an expedition to the port city of Rosetta. It now resides in the British Museum following an antiquities dispute between the French and the British. Ironic really considering it all rightly belongs to the Egyptian people. Much like The Elgin Marbles rightly belong to the people of Greece, but I cannot see them getting them back anytime soon. Sadly.

[hbmelgarejo]

50% Indiana Jones.

[4RealNumbersRreal]

saw #1 coming

[omar1bgd]

1947 it was called Palestine :-)

[JecaDelaCruz]

gives us more discoveries

[hotdogsLikeMe123]

@scottanddrewwhutchins correction, archaeology also deals with things like dinosaurs and creatures WAY back then. so the mammoth counts as archaeology

[Mem0therfucker]

rosetta stone was found in Egypt by napoleon while he was trying to conquer Egypt.....

[Sirzyber]

israel FTW!

[IrishlyMad]

The dead sea scrolls were found in Palestine later partitioned to become The Shitty state of isreal!

[slayuh]

the skull in the display case around the 42-45 sec mark moves unexplainably.

[acer0169]

@slayuh The whole case shakes are people walk past - pretty obvious.

[Compadect123]

FUCK SCHOOL ! WE HAVE ALL TIME 10s IN OUR HOMES.

[razark9]

I was just going to watch one alltime10s before I went back to reading my book, now it's been half hour and I'm still not reading. I'm addicted to alltime10s D;

[edgar360Bar]

WTF!? at 0:45 you can see the skuul at the far end slightly move O.O

[crazydtfan]

The rosetta stone was discovered in america by rick perry...

[oldnewbutter]

im a muslim..

n in the koran.. all the things thats like the tomb of tutankhuman..

the dead sea scrolls was founded before the time of the "archeological Discoveries"

[MrRichy96]

I think I actually have seen the Rosetta Stone in the British museum

[DaveyBoy1337]

Guys! Pause the video, get rid of the annotation in the top left, and look to the right of the big 10 sign! Seriously look!

[thenoseyrosie]

@DaveyBoy1337 What is it? I don't see it

[magicthunder666]

your chanel is tha shit!

[GreenGravity1]

go to the Lucy (Australopithecus) wiki, read the upper sentence.

[Countrygent100]

Technically, if it's something that's ancient and was MADE by humans, it's "Archaeology". If it's something that was once alive a long time ago but is now extinct (eg: dinosaur skeletons, mummies of mammoths, etc) it's "Paleontology". If it's remnant body tissue of a still extant species, preserved or deteriorated, well, that belongs to the world of History. Working out how it died, that's Forensics.

[IndianRiverMan1]

@Countrygent100  ...really appreciate this clarification!

[Stormeris]

@Countrygent100 Cpt. Obvious strikes again :D

[Countrygent100]

@Stormeris Obvious to you, maybe. But at least 28 other people thought my clarification was noteworthy. Perhaps you'd like to add some more of your academic insights and scholarship to help clarify the discussion?

Then we can count YOUR thumbs up.

[Stormeris]

@Countrygent100 sorry, didnt want to insult you :(

[Skyrim1990BestGame]

Baby woolly mamomth are discovered in Siberia no Motherfucking russia...

[thesomebody3]

@Skyrim1990BestGame wtf r u trying to say?

[TheRimDoctor]

@Skyrim1990BestGame Siberia IS in Russia.

[CrazyShooter199]

Wtf this is just anthropological discoveries and ancient texts, where's shit like the Antikythera Mechanism and other things which I cannot currently remember ¬.¬

[Padraigcoelfir]

What about Otzï instead of the Dead sea Scrolls?

[TheRimDoctor]

@Padraigcoelfir I agree

[mustknowstuff]

I will NOT click on that video right above this comment.. *cough*

[CODMASTA]

@mustknowstuff neither will I.

[mustknowstuff]

@CODMASTA I will not click on my channel!

well.. worth a try though.. **o

[VicariousViewer]

@drseafrog That would count as paleontology. 

[manwithplan61]

I think the Rosetta one is implying that the french discovered it.

[thewishmaster1686]

and what happened to the Aztec calendar????? D:

[manwithplan61]

@thewishmaster1686 You mean the mayan one?

[G4ThatsTough]

You forgot about the dragon body they found frozen in a ice berg (Dragon's World: A Fantasy Made Real) (Part 1).

[Aelskad]

@G4ThatsTough that wasnt real :p It was just a"fake" documentary. Thats why its called "a fantasy MADE real" :)

[G4ThatsTough]

@Aelskad it is real !

[Aelskad]

@G4ThatsTough No it is not. It is a Docufiction made by the Animal planet. Would be cool if it was real though!

[godofsounds]

why not pompei, why not in top 10?

[wakemeup54]

The discovery of the body of tutankhamun found preserved without any preservatives and unrotten is amazing.. It was mentioned in the Quran 1500 years ago that the body of the Pharaoh would be found (now) and it's still preserved after it was washed down by the River of Neil...

[jeremy1000100]

This is a joke. So alltime 10 thinks the Rosetta stone was discovered in France. Ha Ha Ha.

The clue is in the name. It was found near the town of Roestta, which is in Egypt.

[ATsarIsBorn]

What about Schliemann's discovery of Troy (Turkey, 1871-73), the discovery that led to the invention of modern archaeology as a discipline? Or his work at Mycenae in 1876? or Flinders Petrie's work in Ur (Iraq)? Or Bingham's discovery of Machu Picchu?

This is a very superficial piece of film.

[idontwantnoname]

ffs! great vids but far to fast and short!!

[nationalist19]

what about the cyrus cylinder. surally the first declaration of human rights would be one of the greatest discoveries of all time.

[tomer12266]

2 of the top 10 are from Israel, what an honor :D

[MrIwan09091994]

no 9 is so fuck

[TheGamingSociety10]

I Just Watch These When Im Bored And Then I look At The Comments and I Say to Myself What The H*ll Are These Peaople Talking About

[Slik00Silk]

#1 is gobekli tepe - type that into the search panel

[abu5alaf91]

dead sea scrolls in Jordan not Israel ..

[theallmightycritic]

Rosetta stone was discovered in Egypt indeed but. the man who discovered it was french

[asphaltdog74]

The rosetta stone was not discovered in France it was discovered in Egypt

[Ebo9508]

Paleantology or Archaeology?

[WhiteInvas1on]

What about pre-historic discoveries in Malta? [which are older than Stonehenge]

[noppeltopia]

ive seen the dead sea scrolls LAMMME

[SuperInebriator]

I wanna know what the guy who discovered the terra cotta army first said. I bet it's something along the lines of "Who the fuck are you people? Why are you down here you nutty bastards?"

[ismelljello]

A baby wooly mammoth is not an archeological discovery, archeology deals with human society.

[communistraptor]

@ismelljello that paenteology.

[aDMC4fan]

What about Lucy?

[scottandrewhutchins]

How is a baby mammoth archaeological?  Archaeology has to do with human civilizations.

[SlayerX114]

@scottandrewhutchins actually any scientific digging is archaeology. Study of strict human archaeology and such would be anthropology

[outlaw87100]

@SlayerX114 Correct

[tatamarero]

@scottandrewhutchins wouldnt that be anthropoarchaeology? :-?

[RyanBlader212]

I'm sorry, but there's no Ancient Rock from Indonesia? or some Ancient Building, like Angkor Wat, Borobudur, Prambanan etc.? sorry if this comment not helping

[toasttoasttoast12]

code of hammurabi

[Rexxyn]

What about Ötzi and the Sky Disc of Nebra?

[nintendowiiman321]

Beer?

[carbuster13]

@nintendowiiman321 yeahhh

[howser12]

Wasn't Peking man a hoax?  How did it make the top 10?

[scottandrewhutchins]

@howser12 I thought so, too, but perhaps we're confusing it with Piltdown man, which was a hoax.

[drseafrog]

Uh what about Lucy? The prototype human found in Ethiopia which proved that human beings originated around there?

[CruSh3rpz]

@drseafrog humans not important.. :D

[Khaled14322]

@drseafrog Negus? Ethiopia?

[ZENUDIE]

@drseafrog i hope you realized that you called humans robots, there is no such thing as a prototype life form. Prototype only apply to inventions.

[elgazar99]

@drseafrog What about "ARDI"????

[thesomebody3]

@drseafrog u know i really believe that humans originated from there, i dont know y it just seems right

[TheJuzMii]

@drseafrog Huh?!!

[korsrud1]

@drseafrog it turns out it was my wife...

[Devilock79]

What about the Bosnian Pyramids or Gobekli Tepe? I'd say they are more important than some baby woolly mammoth or religious texts.

[WH1T3YHD]

pompey/herculaneum?

[TheRimDoctor]

Rosetta Stone was discovered in Egypt.

[TristanMrH]

@TheRimDoctor i think egypt at the time was considered a part of france, with napoleon invading and all that, not sure though, but either way it was in egypt, that much is true

[haseng86]

@TheRimDoctor we call it in egypt " rashid stone " because rashid is the city in wich it was discovered

[luv4drums1]

@TheRimDoctor well by Napoleon.

[TheRimDoctor]

@luv4drums1 by Napoleon's armies. Napoleon was busy eating truffles in Malta at the time.

[Q17sk8]

@TheRimDoctor but its in france now though

[tony19o8]

@TheRimDoctor plus the language is greek

[TheRimDoctor]

@tony19o8 Greek, Heiroglyphic and Demotic.

[AssKicker411]

@TheRimDoctor It's the translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs and some other language in two different translations and dialects... if i'm not mistaken..

[TheRimDoctor]

@AssKicker411 It's a Stone with Greek, Demotic and Heiroglyphic text. It was used to translate the meaning of the Egyptian Heiroglyphs, which before that no one had any clue how to translate, when it was realized that the Greek and Demotic said the same thing as the Heiroglyphs.

[TheRimDoctor]

#1 The remains of New Orleans

[yossj]

0:44 skull on the back moving!!!!!!

[migitraper]

@runklefobbes

[babarkorai]

you miss the Indus Valley Moen-jo-Daro who was Discovered By John Marshall..

[runklefobbes]

i once found a peking man outside my bathroom window

[wambampham17]

what about the preserved ice dragon found in Romania. that sh!t proves that dragons did exist and that dragons in folklore in most cultures are actually true

[kcrimz]

All discovered items seems to contradict with each other like religion and evolution for example. what an absurd presentation.

[Za7a7aZ]

Must be hard to chose 10 out of dozens and order them from 1 to 10..

[CruelModder]

Wheres the Starchilds head?

[cagurtay]

i always thought rosetta stone was name of a woman

[MsCrazyfangirl]

Actually the rosseta stone was discovered by the French in Egypt.

[Carnage660]

mother fucking ads on mother fucking youtube.......shit

[9antsa6]

you can see the "mouse" at 1:39 in upper right corner

[MrMorry123]

Puma Punku beats all of these and the writers of history are stupmed to explain it!

Look it up...

[olliesteer]

Shroud of Turin had to be there surely!

[Purplelady0790]

I remember reading about the wholly mammouth in a National Geographic magazine. The story of how she died was sad and the fact that she was a young one even sadder.

[7beckham7cronaldo7]

What about Justin Bieber's penis?? Oh wait...that was never discovered

[chuchuminmin]

@7beckham7cronaldo7 HAHAHA

[TheRobinator143]

What about the discovery of Troy by Schliemann? Or the lost Minoan city in Knossos by Arthur Evans? I could add some more interesting discoveries...

[danutztox]

0:30-0:33 that green eye blinks

[AgrxLegends]

Who else has a shit ton of tabs open of this channel's videos?

[TranThanhHai1]

where is jesus shroud of turin?

[anerki90]

and the one you deemed to be number one it couldn't possibly be discovered in israel in 1947 as israel was borne in 1948 so it was still Palestine according to the UN in 1947

[anerki90]

what the fuck the rossetta stone discovered in france?? atleast get it right obviously it was discovered in egypt land of the pharaohs and the french stole it in there brief stupidity

[kittycatgirl537]

i like pie :3

[denjski]

the Rossetta Stone was discovered in Egypt by the French 

[alza3im4ever]

@denjski YUP U R RIGHT

[TheZmon2020]

im not even going to look for the top comments person they replied to 3 weeks and 2 weeks ago i dont think so buddy

[AnerchX]

Israel at 1st (: I love Israel !

[FOTARAStheGREEK]

And of course rosetta stone is written in Greek..

[Jason1975ism]

the mammoth isnt Archaeological, its paleozoological.

[SXLePiC]

where was the 46 (give or take a few million years) old fossil of a human?

[TheRimDoctor]

@SXLePiC Did you just say 46 million year old human fossil?

[AbduCola]

Instead of showing the date of discovery it should show when it dates back to. Also, Rosetta Stone should be number 1

[TheCowboyfromhell87]

#8 should have been finding my iphone in my couch

[SuppleGooch]

anyone else google #1?

[mraaronkiss]

OMG! its a baby woolly mammoth, Nope chuck testa

[megaPURPLEninja12]

what lucy the cavegirl what about her

[Urkellover333]

Woolly Mammoth!

[PostApocalypticSure]

I feel the Rosetta Stone and the baby woolly mammoth should be switched, with Rosetta Stone going to 3 and the baby mammoth going to 5. But otherwise great list.

[jeboshifru]

and no Lepenski Vir in top ten. Yeah, right.

[ErisAmara0411]

great video! but i want to point out that archaeology is the branch of cultural anthropology that studies prehistoric cultures. but the taung child (australopithecus africanus) is more physical anthropology related. correct me if im wrong

[angellicvoices]

This is all just an opinion of what is top ten. I think there are much much more interesting ones in India like the recent underwater city find. Only if more funding to discover them was provided. The fact there was a recent find of 22 billion dollars worth of Gold and jewels hidden in an Indian Temple and only found in 2011, tells me that India hasnt really been tested yet.

[936justme]

why the dead sea scrolls are a big thing? Older things should be more valuable. Well you forgot Queen Puabi, the royal queen tomb in Iraq!

[ABEJOHNDERDANSER]

The rosetta stone was discovered in France ? :p That can hardly be true.

[killa200ful]

whats so important about dead sea scroll?

[ThirdNUnion]

@killa200ful The oldest bible known to man,some text found near the dead sea date from 250 BCE, would you like more info?

[GR8TM4N]

The antikythera mechanism

[MW2noobssuck]

pausing at 2 okay is pompeii next

[MagikGimp]

@MW2noobssuck Technically Pompeii is (was) a whole city; all of these are discoveries of artefacts.

[MW2noobssuck]

#4 is pretty obvious im mean ITS IN A GIANT PYRAMID

[MagikGimp]

@MW2noobssuck Tutankhamun wasn't buried in a pyramid.

[lhrmeonom]

@MagikGimp where then?

[MagikGimp]

@lhrmeonom Valley of the Kings. It's thought he died before a larger tomb (again not necessarily inside a pyramid) was able to be built.

[MJfan4ever123456]

Rosetta stone was discovered in egypt by french not in france.

[skean2]

the ice man

[grimelately]

I've heard that the reason Jews are in Israel is because they are looking for the scrolls that is burried somewhere within that land, to control black magic and interfere with the jinns. Seeing that scrolls have been found by archeologists in Israel makes me curious...
