Are you someone that is interested in ancient history or the discovery of ancient fossils? If so, then you should check out these amazing excavations that have taken place all over the world and the amazing finds that these archeologists have unearthed. There are numerous sites around the world that take us back to ancient times and bring us the discovery of cities such as Troy and Jericho. 

Archaeologists all over the world have the same goal and want to show people the memories of our past. There have been a large number of treasures that have been found and some ancient cities that were always thought of as myth. The 1800s was the time to explore and find these lost cultivations that nobody thought existed. 

If you are someone that enjoys history and the discovery of lost artifacts then you should check out these interesting findings that have been going on for the past several hundred years. 

Troy

The ancient city of Troy was a myth and legend until it was discovered in 1871 by Heinrich Schliemann who was a millionaire that was obsessed with ancient artifacts and the legends that surrounded them. Schliemann and his team started digging in 1873 and discovered the remnants of a massive city just like it was described in Homer's Illiad.

The ancient city was found in a region of Turkey that was a proposed site by many scholars. Other than finding ruins, Schliemann found a treasure trove of jewelry and other objects that were made of gold which he named Priam's treasure. This was a tremendous discovery for the millionaire that didn't have much experience in archaeology. 

The Sphinx

When people think of the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx is always in mind since it is the guardian of the pyramids. The Sphinx has been around longer than the pyramids but when the mighty ancient Egyptian empire fell, the structure was covered by years of sand and was covered all the way up to the head.

In 1817, an Italian explorer and archeologist Giovanni Battista Caviglia decided that he wanted to excavate the remaining body of the Great Sphinx. So he led 160 men to start the process but was unable to keep the sand out of the lower portion of the body. It wasn't until the 1930s that an Egyptian archaeologist, Selim Hassan, was able to set the body free. 

Miami Ancient Excavation 

This ancient excavation site was found in the middle of downtown Miami. The discovery was made when the location was being prepared to construct a new complex building. When archeologists started excavating the site they found massive stones that could have been used to make up a structure and little artifacts were found lying around as well.

This wasn't the first time that ancient remains were found in the city of Miami, Florida. There is another site called the Miami Circle which is known to be of ancient origin and scientists believe that these two sites must have been built by the same ancient people who they think are ancient Native Americans. 

Mass Grave at Dickson Mounds

This extraordinary mass grave was found in Fulton County, Illinois in 1927 by an excavator named Dickson Mounds. The site is a Native American burial site that was in use during the years 800 to around 1200. Dickson was a chiropractor that was digging around on his family's farm when he discovered the remains of hundreds of skeletons and named the mounds after himself.

After contacting some archeologists, Dickson started excavating as much as he could and found 237 bodies in the process. Once Dickson found all the bodies he decided that he wanted to make the site a private museum and in 1972 it was officially made a museum by the state of Illinois. 

The Theatre

In 2008, archaeologists were digging around the grounds of a theatre when they discovered an interesting structure that is known as The Theatre which was a prominent spot where William Shakespeare would perform. This was quite a surprise to find in London and a discovery that had an impact on the rest of the theatre.

This was the theatre that Shakespeare performed in before he moved onto the Globe Theatre and was well preserved when the archaeologists excavated the site. Aside from finding this theatre there was another that was located on the same grounds, this location was a hotspot for London's past theatres. 

Tomb of Herod

The Tomb of Herod is a famous Jewish archeological site that was discovered in 2008 by archaeologist Ehud Netzer who is part of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He started digging at Herodium in 1972 because he heard of the story of Herod who became the king of Jerusalem in 37 BCE with the help of the Romans.

It took years for Netzer to find the lost tomb of the late king, he thought that the tomb might be located on the top of this hilltop and started digging there. Once Netzer found the tombs he was relieved that his work paid off and the tomb can be viewed by people all over the world. 

Body of Lucy

This skeleton is the ancient body of a female Australopithecus which is a certain type of species that was walking the earth before human beings were. She was discovered in 1974 by paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson in Ethiopia. The reason for Lucy's name is the song "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" was playing in the background all day at the excavation camp and when she was found Johanson thought it was an appropriate name.

When the scientists dated the bones they were astonished by the date which dated back to around 3.2 million years ago, the team pieced together the skeleton and almost got a full-body worth of bones. Lucy became world-famous and went on a tour around the world in an amazing exhibition. 

Tomb of Tutankhamun

The most famous discovery on this list is the discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun who was an Egyptian King that was stored with a large amount of gold and was the biggest archaeological find in Egypt. This remarkable excavation was carried out by archeologists Howard Carter, he discovered the elaborate tomb in 1922 and was surprised by the number of items that were stored inside.

The tomb was untouched as robbers thought that they had gotten into the main chamber in previous years. It took Howard and his team almost eight years to carefully take out all the items of the tomb, all of these items were transported to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo where you can see most of them on display. 

Site of Ur

In 1922, the English Sir Leonard Wooley wanted to find the ancient city of Ur and was given some locations that the city might be located. With the help of the locals, he discovered the city and started excavating the site which took around 12 years to fully excavate. Upon his findings, Wooley discovered 16 kings and queens that each had their own graves and artifacts that were known to be the Queen's Treasure.

Since this excavation occurred during the 1920s in the middle of what is present-day Iraq, there wasn't much machinery that could be used so most of the work was done by hand, this is why it took so long to excavate the whole site but in the end, it was worth it. 

Aguja Formation

The Aguja Formation is a large rock formation that contains the remains of several dinosaurs and is located in the state of Texas and a part of Mexico. Scientists first started finding dinosaur fossils in this formation in the early 20th century and have found numerous amount of species including Agujaceratops and Yehuecauhceratops.

There have been many findings on both the Texas and Mexico side and there are still paleontologists that are still looking for any signs of fossils that have been overlooked. There are not too many ancient sites that were left in America but what the country has an abundance of is dinosaur fossils. 

Pyramids of Meroë

The Pyramids of Meroë are a series of pyramids that were built by the people of the Kushite Kingdom, they are part of an even bigger group of Nubian Pyramids. These pyramids were made for the kings and queens of the Kushite Kingdom but were sacked by tomb robbers in ancient times so there weren't as many artifacts left behind.

During the 1930s, a treasure hunter by the name of Guiseppe Ferlini began excavating these pyramids but in the process destroyed around 40 out of the around 80 pyramids. A couple of other explorers visited the site but didn't excavate anything as it was dangerous. 

Henry VII Chapel

In 2006, archeologists discovered a chapel that was once used by the English King Henry VII, it was discovered under a parking lot at the Royal Hospital in Greenwich, United Kingdom. The chapel was built between 1500 to 1504 and served as a place where the king was married.

There was also signs of other building that were used by Henry VII as well, his royal home wasn't located too far away and was one of the favorite houses that the family-owned. There have been numerous amounts of excavation sites located all over the United Kingdom due to the amount of history the land has gone through. 

Sutton Hoo

The site of Sutton Hoo is the location of two excavation sites that were located on a farmer's land in Suffolk, England. There were a series of mounds that were on Edith Pretty's land and she became interested and contacted some archeologists that might be interested. In 1938, they started excavating these mounds and found numerous amount of artifacts including a ship and helmet that came from the Anglo-Saxon era. The ship was almost fully intact and the helmet is one of the best-preserved artifacts of that time.

Since then scientists have been excavating portions of the mountain that show signs of human remains. They have found around 1,600 human fossils that are in good condition and have tested these bones to find out that these bones come from a new species of humans that we haven't found before. 

Staffordshire Hoard

These impressive trinkets are part of the Staffordshire Hoard which is the largest stockpile of Anglo-Saxon treasures that has been found in the United Kingdom. There are around 4,600 pieces in total that consist of gold, silver, and garnets of different kinds.

It was discovered in a field in 2009 by a team of researchers near the city of Staffordshire, hence the name. The hoard has many items that were made by some of the best artisans of the Anglo-Saxons, these items are on display at the Birmingham Museum. It is estimated that the hoard of treasure costs around $4 million. 

Royal Mint Site

In 1986, researchers discovered the site of a mass grave that was created during the Black Death named the Royal Mint Site. The cemetery is located not too far away from the Tower of London and was not just a cemetery as excavators found the remains of the Cistercian Abbey and Royal Navy Yard.

There were numerous amount of skeletons that were found that were either laid closely next to each other or all in one pile. The Black Death was a deadly disease that spread through medieval Europe and killed a majority of the population. The dead had to be buried as quickly as possible to stop the spread of disease. 

Temple of Hatshepsut

The Temple of Hatshepsut was first discovered in 1891 by Edouard Naville, he started excavating the site but soon found that the project would take a lot of work and require a good amount of money. In 1911, Herbert Winlock heard of the site and wanted to fully excavate the temple. It ended up taking Winlock around 25 years to fully excavate and restore the Temple of Hatshepsut.

The scientists found an amazing circular structure that was thought to be used as a temple to worship the deity, Ehecatl Quetzalcoatl who was the goddess of the wind. There were remains of animals' bones and urns which suggested that rituals were being performed on or near the structure. The site has been covered up and made into a museum for the public to view. 

Mount Nemrut

Mount Nemrut is located in the southeastern part of Turkey and is the site of a royal tomb that was built for King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene in the Hellenistic period. The site was first discovered by Karl Sester who was a German engineer working for the Ottoman Empire. While he was creating roads for the army he stumbled upon this site and started excavating.

Sester didn't complete excavating the site and gave up, it wasn't until 1947 that Theresa Goell decided to dedicate her life to the excavation of the site. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to reveal more of the tomb due to money concerns but in 1987 the site was made part of the World Heritage Site by UNESCO. 

Chan Chan

This unique-looking site is named Chan Chan and it is located in the La Libertad Region in Peru. The site was first discovered in 1986 by a team of archeologists and believe that the structures at Chan Chan were built by a pre-Columbian culture that dates back to 900 AD.

Once the team found the location for Chan Chan, they started excavating the area and discovered these perfect column walls that were made up like a maze. After finding more evidence the researchers concluded that Chan Chan was built by the Chimor Empire, these people were later defeated by the Inca Empire. 

 France Gallo Roman Mosaics

French researchers were quite surprised when they discovered some Roman mosaics that date back to the Gallic Wars. These mosaics are some of the best that have been excavated and feature some amazing designs that the Romans were creating. Located in the small town of Uzes, these mosaics were discovered in 2017 by a team of archeologists that thought there were some Roman remains in the southern city and they were correct.

The site is located not too far from the capital of the country San Jose and has become a place to visit as there are a good number of ruins that have been left behind. There is also a church located in the region that features a large stone that must have been placed there by pre-Columbian ancestors. 

The Grave of Richard III

In 2012, a team of British archeologists found the remains of Richard III who was the King of England from 1483 to 1485. Richard III was killed in battle but his grave was unknown to the modern world. Upon finding the skeleton, the researchers noticed that the placement of the body looked like the king was thrown into the grave and buried up.

This was unusual for a king to be buried like this and could explain the attitude that the people under him had about him. After the discovery, a team built a structure around the site to preserve the body and create a museum about the late king. 

Olduvai Gorge

The Olduvai Gorge is one of the world's largest sites that has numerous amount of fossils from the past. The site was first discovered by German archeologist Wilhelm Kattwinkel in 1911 while he was doing work for German East Africa. This was the first major discovery made in the country of Tanzania and excavations could have started early but the start of World War I delayed everything.

Upon excavations, archeologists found the remains of thousands of people that were frozen in time due to the explosion of a massive volcano that destroyed the city in minutes. Amazingly even the shadows of the victims that suffered the explosion were captured in time forever and the position of many bodies shows that they didn't know the explosion was going to occur. 

Sahatsakhan

In 1994, a massive site of dinosaur fossils was found in Sahatsakhan, Thailand. There were numerous amount of fossils that were found by Phra Kru Vijitsahassakun and the fossils were dated to be around 120 million years old. Since there were so many fossils that were unearthed, the Thiawnese government decided to make a museum that would house these bones.

In 1967, Spyridon Marinatos was responsible for the structures that you have seen today. It took him around 2 years to fully excavate the site which is now turned into a museum for the public to view. There is now a large structure that protects the structures from the outside elements to help perverse this wonderful ancient city. 

Ljubljanica River Roman

In 2003, a team of archeologists found evidence of Roman bronze age weapons and artifacts in the Ljubljanica River in Slovenia. When most people think of excavations, they think that all of it is done on dry land but there are numerous teams that have investigated sites that are now underwater.

The site was first discovered in 1881 by Imperial forces of Japan, it wasn't until 1933 that the site started getting excavated. World War II put the project on pause and in 1973 the rest of the site was completely excavated. Researchers found the remains of people that lived during the Asuka period but are still not sure how these were built. 

Sunabara Ruins

In 2009, a team of Japanese archeologists discovered the remains of a structure that was built around 120,000 years ago. This is the oldest dated artifact that has been found in Japan and proves that people have been living on the islands for thousands of years.
