Gobekli Tepe

Gobekli Tepe

A discovery that “changes everything”, Gobekli Tepe is a prolific discovery and dates to a time when humans were literally mere decades from being cavemen. Who built these, how did they build them, why did they build them… even to the experts, there are far more questions than answers on this one.

Amazing coincidences

Polybius

Polybius

A new arcade game arrived in Portland Oregon in 1981 but was pulled from arcades just weeks after it arrived. It’s never been seen again. Was it having strange effects on the kids who play it? Was it a government test? Is it just an urban legend?

Baghdad Battery

Baghdad battery

Baghdad, Iraq, 1939, a new curator takes over the National Museum of Iraq, bringing to light a confusing discovery- a ceramic pot with a metallic rod inside. Speculation over what this artifact is, what it was used for, and why it produces electricity has run rampant ever since.
