Curious findings throughout the year have pushed back the timescales on the beginnings of ancient structures in Europe and other parts of the world, unusual artifacts found in odd places, and in some cases, discoveries that are bridging the gap between ancient history and mythology. This week on The Micah Hanks Program , we look at some of the most fascinating and unusual archaeological discoveries of the last twelve months, from curiosities of the ancient world to lost technologies, forgotten societies, and monumental structures that are reshaping our views on the lives of the ancients.
