History Could Be Rewritten By The Following Shocking 10 Discoveries (Part II)

5. The T.rex

New scientific reports proved that all what we know about how T.rex hunted and moved might have been completely wrong, and the reality is far from what was depicted in the 1993 blockbuster “Jurassic Park”.

Firstly, the T.rex were too massive to run without crippling themselves. With the height of 12-13 feet tall at the hip and 43 feet from tooth to tail, and the weight of between 5.5 and 9 tons for an adult, the bones cannot handle more pressure while running before it breaks.

If one tried to move faster than 12 mph, even slower than a Jeep crawling, it bones would simply shatter. This make the Jeep chase scene in Jurassic Park by the T.rex completely inaccurate.

Secondly, juvenile and adult rexes were different in looks in addition to size, while young ones were covered in feathers on its head, neck and tail for warmth and camouflage, both for hunting and avoiding larger predators.

4. Ancient high-tech workshop

Israeli archaeologists have discovered a 6,500-year 'high tech' workshop in Beer Sheva in the Negev Desert that could change the history. They found evidence of world’s first-ever use of furnace in the Copper Age, used in smelting copper ore.

Shards of a furnace, copper ore and a lot of copper slags were found, yet the site was still considered part of the Stone Age, where most tools were made of stone. Right, humans weren’t supposed to do so, producing copper tools during Stone Age!
The research also surprisingly suggested that the ore was processed far from its mining location, contradicting the traditional furnaces during this time, which were often built near the mines to maximize efficiency. This might have been a means of keeping the technology secret.

Researchers also say that the refining of copper was high tech of that period, indicating no technology was more sophisticated in the ancient world. It wasn’t just simply tossing lumps of ore into a fire, which would get you nowhere.
Instead, certain knowledge related to construction of special furnaces able to reach high temperatures with low levels of oxygen are required.

3. The Dragon Man

The massive "Dragon Man" skull, hidden in a well in China for 90 years before being found, might be a new human evolutionary branch.

The skull, originally found in 1933 in Harbin, China, was hidden to avoid falling into the Japanese hands, only to be rediscovered when the man who concealed it told his grandson, shortly before his last breath.
The remarkably well-preserved fossil has been labeled a new human species, Homo longi. The species has been dubbed "Dragon man," after the region where it was found – the “Black Dragon River” region.

The skull belonged to an approximately 50-year-old man, said the scientists, with the most notable aspect being the massive size of 9 inches long and 6 inches wide, significantly larger than the modern human counterpart.
Geochemical techniques were used, figuring out the skull to be at least 146,000 years old. Compared with the fossil of 95 other skulls, scientists found that the Harbin cranium, together with some other Chinese skulls, might form a new branch, closest to modern humans than Neanderthals.

2. Nubian super church

Sudanese archaeologists have discovered the ruins of a cathedral likely to have represented Christian power in the Nubian kingdom of Makuria 1,000 years ago.

The cathedral’s remains, discovered in Old Dongola, northern Sudan, might prove to be the largest church ever found in Nubia, with an 85-feet width and the height of a 3-story building. The apse walls were painted with portraits believed to represent the 12 Apostles.

The size, the splendor, the luxury, and the location of the church might be the evidence that Old Dongola was the seat of a powerful Christian kingdom in Medieval Nubia that have foreign diplomacy with Muslim Egypt, Byzantium and the Holy Roman Empire, completely different from previous archaeological records, in which the Nubian never appeared as a powerful Christian empire.
Scientists are working hard to find out the reason for the kingdom’s downfall and how it came into extinct in the 18^th century.

1. Mysterious runes

Archaeologists discovered unusual markings on a cow bone in the village of Lany, Czech that may upend accepted beliefs of Slavic history, and may also stir up nationalistic sentiment about how early European tribes interacted some 1,400 years ago.

They found that the scratches were Germanic runic letters – a shocking discovery as Slavic people weren’t supposed to develop an alphabet until the 9^th century. Theories are that the runic words were of either a Slav who learned German runic alphabet or an individual of Germanic origin living in Slavic territory.
The discovery’s significance stems in part from longstanding tensions between Slavs and Germans. During World War II, the Nazis targeted Eastern Europe’s Slavs, whom they viewed as inferior, much as they did the continent’s Jews.

One scientists said the writings indicated that the two groups “were trying to communicate with each other and were not just fighting all the time.” However, others disagreed, claiming that they were made by a local who spoke and wrote an early Germanic language.
Some scholars even stated that the bone wasn’t inscribed with a specific message; instead, it seems to be a learning aid due to several mistakes in the inscription.
