Brad Arroyo+FollowAncient China’s OG Rice Wine Hack UncoveredTurns out, people in Bronze Age China were already brewing up some serious red rice wine using a wild fermentation starter called qu—think of it as the original sourdough, but for booze. Archaeologists just found pottery with traces of this ancient brew at a burial site, proving the Mogou people were mixing up rice, millet, and even barley for their ceremonial drinks. Basically, they were the original craft brewers! #History #Archaeology #AncientChina00Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowAncient Wolves Rewrite Dog HistoryTurns out, 5,000 years ago, humans were hauling wild wolves to a tiny Baltic island—way before dogs were a thing. These wolves weren’t just strays; they were fed, cared for, and even buried with people. But here’s the twist: they weren’t quite dogs, but not fully wild either. This find totally messes with the old “one-way” domestication story. Maybe humans and wolves were experimenting with friendship way before Fido! #Science #archaeology #history90Share
susanfoster+FollowIce Age Humans Built Mammoth Bone Houses?!Did you know people in Ukraine 18,000 years ago literally built houses out of mammoth bones?

susanfoster+FollowAncient Mass Grave Mystery UncoveredArchaeologists just found a Bronze Age mass grave in Scotland, and it’s got everyone buzzing. Eight people were cremated and buried together over 3,000 years ago—way different from the usual burial customs back then. Experts think a sudden disaster, like famine, wiped out a whole family or group at once. The site was discovered during wind farm construction, and now researchers are digging deeper to uncover what really happened. Creepy, right? #History #Archaeology #BronzeAge70Share
eday+FollowAncient Water Cult Built Stonehenge’s Older CousinsDid you know there are massive stone monuments in Armenia that are even older than Stonehenge? Archaeologists just found out these “dragon stones” (some shaped like fish or cattle hides!) were built by a mysterious water cult over 6,000 years ago. They’re all placed near springs and streams way up in the mountains—no one knows how they got them there! The placement and shapes hint at ancient rituals tied to water as the source of life. Wild, right? #History #Archaeology #AncientHistory20Share
Debra Taylor+Follow600-Year-Old Seal Found in Polish FieldImagine just digging in your backyard and stumbling on a 600-year-old artifact! That’s what happened in Poland, where archaeologists found a medieval brass seal with St. Catherine of Alexandria on it. This thing survived centuries and was probably used by local militia during the epic Battle of Grunwald. It’s wild to think about how such a rare piece of history ended up in a random field. History nerds, this is the kind of discovery you dream about! #History #Archaeology #Poland130Share
jason40+FollowAncient Scottish Mystery: Mass Cremation UnearthedArchaeologists just found 3,300-year-old urns in Scotland with the cremated remains of eight people, all buried together. The weird part? They likely died in some sudden disaster—maybe famine, disease, or war. The urns were packed so tightly, it looks like a rushed, collective burial. Plus, the bodies were cremated before fully decomposing, which was super unusual for the time. What happened to these Bronze Age farmers? The mystery is still unsolved! #History #Archaeology #HistoryMystery70Share
