Cairo, Egypt | A team of archeologists at the University of Cairo lead by Egyptologist Nabir Ibn Al-Sammud has uncovered ancient papyri and a number of stone palettes dating back to 3,500 BC which could prove ancient Egyptians might have lived amongst dinosaurs. Astonishingly, the papyri were written by men who participated in the building of the Great Pyramid, the tomb of the Pharaoh Khufu, and mention the use of “beastly creatures” of “enormous size” according to Professor Al-Sammud. The outlandish claim would have been rapidly dismissed if it did not come from one of Egyptology’s most eminent figures and has definitely…
An almost 3,400-year-old industrial, royal metropolis, “the Dazzling Aten”, has been found on the west bank of the Nile near the modern day city of Luxor. Announced last week by the famed Egyptian archaeologist Dr Zahi Hawass, the find has been compared in importance to the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb almost a century earlier. Built by Amenhotep III and then used by his grandson Tutankhamen, the ruins of the city were an accidental discovery. In September last year, Hawass and his team were searching for a mortuary temple of Tutankhamen. Instead, hidden under the sands for almost three and a half millennia, they found the…

Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities has announced that a group of French and Egyptian archaeologists have discovered a new chamber in the depths of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Antiquities authorities revealed the newly-discovered large chamber contained dinosaur bones and wall-paintings of dinosaurs resembling velociraptors, a genus of theropod dinosaurs that lived 75 million years ago. The Ministry added that the bones were assembled and that the archaeology team concluded that the velociraptor was approximately 1.79 meters in size. While it is unclear why the bones were buried in the chamber, the head of the French archaeologist team Avril Sap…
The skeleton of a giant 100-million-year-old marine reptile has been found in Australia, raising hopes for researchers to uncover important evidence of prehistoric life.

The elasmosaurs, which were 8 to 10 meters long, lived in the Eromaga Sea, which covered large parts of the Australian inland with 50-meter-deep water about 150 million years ago. Queensland Museum Espen Knutsen, senior curator of palaeontology at the Queensland Museum, likened the discovery to that of the…

Until now archaeologists had believed that chickens were domesticated for the sake of watching them fight, which the ancients found marvelously entertaining Are eggs good for you, or are they not good for you? That depends on your medical history and your god, but the fact is – from soft-boiled to shirred, eggs are a fairly new addition to the regular human diet. Chickens in ancient times seem to have been cultivated mainly for entertainment, not consumption. Now archaeologists analyzing garbage in Jerusalem from the late First Temple period have concluded that among other animal-based proteins, the ancient Jerusalemites ate eggs.…

There are theories that aliens built the pyramids. Almost always these theories are rejected by leading archaeologists. Including prominent Egyptologists and Egyptian government officials. So some ufologists and conspiracy theorists had said. Affirming that the Pyramids were built by beings from other worlds.

According to researchers who have analysed the artefact, it is a 100,000-year-old electrical component embedded in stone. It is one of the artefacts that a few have heard of, yet its characteristics are incredibly interesting. There have been dozens of objects discovered through the years that do not fit into the mainstream view of history, archaeology, and anthropology. This discovery was made in 1998 when electrical engineer John. J. Williams found what appeared to be an electrical connector protruding from the ground in a hiking trip in North America. The object was found in the middle of nowhere, far way from…
