Research shows that the site has continuously evolved over a period of about 10,000 years. The structure that we call “Stonehenge” was built between roughly 5,000 and 4,000 years ago. While Stonehenge is a very fascinating structure due to the big rocks that stand atop one another, It is one of the biggest mystery of ancient time.

Reidl had never seen anything like it before, so after showing it to his boss, they turned it over to the Heimathaus Museum.

9. Aluminum Wedge of Aiud
Back in 1974, a group of workers in Romania discovered three different objects 10 meters deep in a sand trench. Two of the items were prehistoric elephant bones that have been dated as old as 2.5 million years ago. The third object however, is an aluminum wedge that was found together with the ancient bones. This discovery dumbfounded most researchers, as aluminum was difficult to create even by 19th century standards. While some call it evidence of extraterrestrials, others are calling it a hoax. Whatever it is, we may never know.

Lamps that kept on burning without using any fuel were discovered all over the world during the Middle Ages.
