Our ancestors may be no more but some amazing things they made back in their days have
survived even after thousands of years, and scientists have recently started finding them. From
2000 years old gold spirals to ancient computers, here are some of the oldest manmade objects
ever found. Watch out for the first
Number 10. 2000 years old gold spiral
If you think finding gold coins is fascinating, wait till you hear about the time when some weird
2000 years old gold spirals were found. This discovery was made in Denmark. Finding gold in
Boeslunde, Denmark, is no huge surprise, it’s known as an area where Bronze Age gold offering
is often uncovered. But the discovery was unlike anything else and it puzzled even the greatest
archeologists. Thousands of tightly-wound gold wires, each about one inch long, that together
made up more than half a pound of solid gold, which seems to have been buried in a wooden box
lined with fur which has long since disintegrated. Fascinatingly, no one’s quite sure how these
tiny wires were actually used—the museum calls it “a little mystery” in its press release about
the find, which dates from around 900 BC. But researchers do have some guesses, some propose
that they were decorations meant to invoke the power of the sun on the clothing of a priest or
king. They had some weird taste
Number 9. St. Albans Hoard
In September 2012, a middle-aged man Westley Carrington went into a shop in the English town
of Berkhamsted and bought a beginner's metal detector. He then went out to hunt for coins on a
farm field. What Carrington found was one of the largest hordes of Roman gold coins ever found
in Great Britain. It included 159 Roman Solidi, which date to the late fourth century A.D. This

was when the Roman occupation of Britain ended. The coins were struck during the reigns of
Emperors Gratian, Valentinian II, Theodosius I, Arcadius, and Honorius, and they were far more
valuable than the typical silver, and bronze Roman coins. During the fourth century A.D., St.
Albans was the important Roman town of Verulamium, and the coins are now displayed at the
Verulamium Museum. The value of these coins was estimated to be $100,000
Number 8. the lost city of helike
Maybe not really an object, but this man-made city is one that holds a lot of importance in the
hiamong the most famous Greek cities, Helike is the one that often escapes our notice. The
Greek civilization is known for its prowess in cultural, academic, and social spheres, from its
loose collection of city-states to the famous Olympic Games. It is one of the most historically
important regions of the world. Situated in Archaea in the northwestern part of the
Peloponnesian peninsula, Helike was one of the leading cities in ancient Greece. Due to
unknown natural factors, Helike was completely obliterated in 373 BC, only to be rediscovered
in the 19th and 20th centuries. Many theories existed about its submersion and possible location
in the Gulf of Corinth. However, it wasn’t until 2001 that a preserved Helike was found in an
inland lagoon under a layer of silt. In 2012, the location was finally confirmed by the destruction
of the silt layer. But the myth still holds that the city was destroyed by the wrath of the patron
god Poseidon.
number 7. Baghdad Battery
A small, undecorated artifact with rather plain appearance, is believed by some scientists to be an
example of a prehistoric, electrical power source. It’s the so-called Baghdad Battery, also known
as the Parthian Battery. The artifact, thought to be a 2,000-year-old electric battery , was found in
1936 by railroad workers in the area of Tel Khujut Rabu, south of Baghdad. Most sources date

the batteries to around 200 BC, but the first known electric battery, the Voltaic pile, was not
invented by Italian physicist Alessandro Volta until 1799. The bottoms of these mysterious
cylinders were capped with copper discs and sealed with bitumen or asphalt. Another insulating
layer of bitumen sealed the tops of the pots and held in place iron rods suspended into the center
of the copper cylinders. The rods showed a strong evidence of having been corroded by an acid
solution that evaporated long ago
Number 6. Roman Coins
For 1,800 years the story of the 'lost British emperor' who defied ancient Rome has been merely
a footnote in history books. Carausius was a brave soldier but his seizure of power and seven-
year reign over Britain and much of Gaul have largely been forgotten. But thanks to the
astonishing discovery of 52,000 Roman coins in 2010, new light was shed on one of the most
raging periods in British history.
