Began diving in 1981 and took a very long time to track this one so if you're in any great lakes keep your eyes open for you know 50 foot long ships from the late 1600s number six magnificent alien okay tinfoil hats put them on folks now's the time a list of deep-sea discoveries how don't I talk about this little guy while the rest of the world was in panic mode a new sea the sponge was discovered back in 2020. It was named advance which translates to magnificent alien yeah this sponge gets its name because it looks like e.t and to be fair it looks like an alien it looks like a literal extraterrestrial an ROV found this sample over 6 000 feet deep in found it in what they called a forest of weird which is a cool nickname I guess Christiana Costello bronco the researcher who found this deep sea squishy explains the discovery in an NOAA interview saying that all these organisms are intricately connected by documenting and describing marine diversity we are building a better understanding of life and the impact of humans on earth in this case in the ocean end quote this little guy could be the key to humanity's survival
Roberts or the Sammy b probably won't be beat record-wise this is extremely rare and so deep I can't even fathom how deep this is number two Mayan caves back in 2018 a diver was exploring flooded caves in Mexico's peninsula they were diving around and saw this peculiar opening they just had to check it right the divers accidentally discovered one of the largest underwater cave systems in the world that ought to be fun it's better than a sword I guess a team of divers then explored many kilometers of Mayan history bones everywhere a lot of bones of course got involved and explains that these skulls gave amount found was more than likely involved in some sort of ancient sacrifice yeah that they found an ancient burial site underwater see ya I'd go right back up so fast many elongated skulls were found suggesting that the ancient Mayans were up to something a little darker last time these caves were occupied if curses are real there are probably a few in here so avoid them and finally number one a cursed tablet well I'm is listed off with a super recent discovery, it's small it is mighty this tablet here was discovered it comes in at just two centimeters by two centimeters very small discovered in 2022 in the west bank this artifact has historians scratching their heads because it's a hundred years older than any Hebrew text previously it predates the scrolls by 1 350 years these ancient letters once translated mean to call on anybody who breaks this curse there are around 40 letters early Hebrew writing all folded onto this tiny little lead tablet also the fact that the small tablet mentions the curse of Yahweh is pretty alarming the sediment comes from excavations done in the 80s on mount evil so many believe that this is from the ancient stone structure Joshua's altar which would make sense the tablet was dated to around 1200 bc and the chemical isotopes in the tablet suggest that it's from mountainous ranges in Greece or possibly from the mountain of curses yeah the mountain of a curse that's a hard past for me that's worse than death mountain in Zelda I'm out thank you so much for Join us the most amazing top 10.
