About this episode

This episode explores various out-of-place artifacts that have puzzled archaeologists throughout history.

Over the centuries, archaeologists have come across countless incredible relics that bring humanity’s past to life: King Tut’s sarcophagus, the bodies of Pompeii, intricate silver and gold llama figurines crafted by the Inca. But some of even the most famous artifacts to ever be unearthed simply don’t seem to match the time, place, or context in which they were found. https://allthatsinteresting.com/out-of-place-artifacts Learn more about your ad choices.
