Pretty sensational isn’t it? If you check out the article The 10 Most Puzzling Ancient Artifacts or an alternative version here, it seems a bit too god to be true. I am probably quite gullible, but not when it comes to articles like this.

If you do a quick search on Wikipedia several of these gets debunked instantly.

• The Grooved Spheres or the Klerksdorp spheres are natural.
• The Dropa Stones seems to be a hoax.
• The Ica Stones seems to be a hoax. Here is another site that debunks this.
• The Antikythera Mechanism is real, but not necessary something beyond the skills of a very skilled man of that era.
• The Baghdad Battery is probably not a battery.
• The Coso artifact is obviously not 500.000 years old. That kind of stone can not be used for dating.
• Ancient Model Aircraft seems to be disputed. But to make models of birds is something mankind has done for thousand of years so I am curious, and I am thinking, why not.
• Giant Stone Balls of Costa Rica. I would have called them spheres, but hey… I think this site explains it better.
• Impossible Fossils seems to be fakes or misinterpreted.
• Out of place metal objects. These seems to be fakes. At least neither I nor other sites can find a reliable source where they are mentioned. They are only mentioned on sites having this list.

This list has been debunked several times before I see. Oh well. Now it has been done once more.

Wonder why they forgot this little nugget, the helicopter hieroglyph.
