This is the Rosetta Stone. It dates back to 196 B. C This is the Rosetta Stone. It dates back to 196 B.C. You might just think it looks like a big rock with a bunch of random carvings in it. A closer look reveals that this stone is written in 2 different languages (Greek and Egyptian) All this stone did when discovered was unlock the mystery as to how to read and interpret ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs…..which unlocked the history to an entire civilization. This is the Antikythera Mechanism. This ball of metal was found among usual shipwreck items off the coast of Greece. It is regarded as the grandfather of modern computing systems. It’s several wheels, spokes, and cogs aligned to accurately predict eclipses, astronomical positions, and celestial movements of the planets with incredible accuracy. It was designed by Greek scientists, dating back to 150 B.C.

Dating back to 312 B.C., the lost city of Petra is in the modern day country of Jordan.

Think this is just another nature picture. Think again Think this is just another nature picture? Think again. This is Olduvai Gorge, located in Eastern Africa. The only think special about this place is that it is the location where this was found. These skeletal remains come from the earliest known human ancestor. The bones date back 1.9 million years. This skeleton, named Lucy, was the most complete skeleton found at this site. The site also contains numerous early human tools and other forms of hunting evidence. It was perhaps the first “human city”.

How do we know all that we know about history? ARCHAEOLOGY: The study of human activity in the past. Archaeologists like Dr. Jones look for the following things like: Artifacts such as tools used for hunting. Architecture With the use of advanced scientific methods, such as carbon dating, we have been able to learn much about our past. Every year, new discoveries are made, and history books are rewritten.
