11 Fascinating Archeological Finds That Challenge the Past

Archeologists are some of the most amazing scientists and detectives on the planet, solving the mystery of our history one dig site and artifact at a time. Considering they rely on discovering old things in the ground, it's incredible that we know as much about the history of our species as we do. But some things will always remain a mystery. These awesome 11 archeological finds changed the way we see our history, and made us rethink where, when, and how we were doing things in ancient times. 


You probably know that humans as we think of ourselves today first evolved in Africa, and slowly migrated away around 60,000 years ago. Although there were other human-like species at the time, the people in that original group are the forefathers of 90% of modern humanity. However, one dig site in India is placing all of that into question. 


Advanced stone age tools were found and dated to be 200,000 years old, well before we would have arrived there. Either groups of humans developed and left Africa far before we thought they did, or a different stone age species was operating in India 200,000 years ago. 


Read about that, and other archeological finds that make us question out past.
