8. AN ITALIAN POT O’GOLD
In late 2018, construction workers in the northern Italian city of Como discovered a literal pot of gold. They had been tasked with demolishing the historic Cressoni Theatre, which had been in place since 1870 and had closed its doors in 1997, to make way for an upscale residential building.
7. SOVIET-ERA BUOY
After the historically infamous category-5 Hurricane Irma ravaged parts of the Caribbean and the southern United States in 2017, a 12-foot-long, Soviet-era float appeared on Dania Beach in south Florida.
6. A TREE BURNING FROM THE INSIDE-OUT
When a truck driver in Ohio noticed the sight and smell of smoke during a break in late 2015, he decided to investigate. He happened upon a hellish sight: a blackened tree that appeared to be burning from the inside-out.
5. A GOLD HANDBAG
When Welsh sisters Linda and Margaret Pritchard found an apparently worthless chainmail handbag in late 2018, one of them decided to err on the safe side and seek a second opinion about its value. They soon learned that it was a 105-year-old Art Deco bag made completely out of gold. It was valued at around $3,900.
4. THE WORLD’S OLDEST CHUNK OF CHEESE
While cleaning around a 19th-dynasty tomb at Saqqara in the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis between 2013 and 2014, archaeologists discovered a broken jar containing a solidified, whitish substance. They now believe that it is the oldest solid cheese residue ever found. It was uncovered within the tomb of Ptahmes, the ancient mayor of Memphis. The tomb had become consumed by sand following its initial discovery in 1885 and was rediscovered in 2010.
3. CHINESE HOURGLASS SPIDER
In 2016, an orange farmer in southeast China named Li Wenhua spotted what he thought was a brooch sticking out of the soil. He took a closer look and realized that it was a huge spider. It wasn’t just any spider, but a rare species known as the Chinese hourglass spider, which possesses a uniquely cylindrical abdomen. The species was once presumed to be extinct, but was rediscovered in the year 2000. Since then, only six known sightings of the Chinese hourglass spider have been made.
2. THE LONELY CASTLE
Among the ruins of the Mada’in Saleh archaeological site in the Saudi Arabian desert sits an unfinished temple from the first century known as Qasr-al-Farid, or “The Lonely Castle.” Built as part of the ancient Nabatean site of Hegra, the so-called castle is actually a tomb that was chiseled from the top-down out of rock, per the unique construction techniques of the Nabateans.
1. THE LIVER JAR
When one British family’s eccentric uncle passed away in 1989, his descendants inherited a 13-inch-tall terracotta jar that they used as a decoration in their garden and sometimes stored in their shed, atop a piano. This alternating use continued, on-and-off, for around two decades. When the jar’s owner took a closer look at the item and realized it bore a striking resemblance to ancient Egyptian artwork, they decided to have it looked at by a professional.
