The Lion Man is considered to be a masterpiece from the Ice Age. Dating back to around 40,000 years old it is a figurine carved from mammoth ivory with the head of a cave lion and the body of a human.

7: Bronze Age Graves
Stonehenge is still revealing secrets even after all this time. Now Bronze Age graves have just been uncovered at the site of Stonehenge, and they are shedding some new light on the ancient architects of this amazing monument.

6: An Ancient Figure
Archaeologists exploring the ruins of the ancient city of Myra have found 50 unique terracotta figurines that depict humans, gods, and even animals. The discovery of the figurines was made by researchers working for Akdeniz University, at an ancient Roman theater. Researchers believe that the figurines date as far back as the Hellenistic period, right around the time that Alexander the Great died in 323 BC.

5: Beast Carving
DNA evidence has revealed some extraordinarily strange truths about a rather odd bovine creature that was painted on a European cave wall during the last Ice Age. Here's how it happened. Cave paintings all over Europe depict two different kinds of bison. There is one with long horns and a big hump, and there is another with shorter horns and a smaller hump.

4: The Newton Stone
The Newton Stone is a very strange monolith inscribed with a message that nobody has ever been able to solve. It was first discovered in 1804 when the Earl of Aberdeen was laying a road near an old farmhouse.

3: The Taming of Fire
Did you know when we started using fire?? This was long up for debate but now according to new archaeological evidence, humans mastered fire about 350,000 years ago. This is based on some burnt flints recently discovered in Tabun Cave in the north of Israel, leading experts to speculate that these were some of the first tools ever used by early humans to make fire.

2: Viking Dope
Did ancient vikings smoke marijuana? Researchers have recently found traces of cannabis at the only verified Viking settlement on the mainland of North America, suggesting the possibility that these ancient warriors had been using cannabis for either medicinal or recreational purposes.

1: Shipwreck Treasure
Archaeologists were left shocked when they discovered the remains of an amazing shipwreck just off the coast of Panama. The biggest surprise from this discovery is that researchers believe the vessel could have belonged to the infamous Captain Morgan. The discovery involved researchers from Texas State University who were diving at Laja Reef.
