Archeology Thread

Weird but seems effective to keep unwanted people out.

Parts of the Dutch city around Fort Zeelandia has been unearthed.

Hikers discovered ruins of a previously undocumented Bunun village

New archeological site discovered in Kenting’s Oluanpi. The site seems to be used for prehistoric shell tool manufacturing, with artifacts found dating back 3,800 to 4,200 years. Shell tools made at this site were then taken on voyagers to other Austronesian islands.

There are also 51 burials found at the site in stone coffins and they were buried with coral burial artifacts.

4000-year-old rock art from a previously unknown culture discovered in Venezuela.

There’s a 大 looking shape next to the farm.

On the right, there’s a 麥 looking shape, that looks like a crop of some sort. Maybe 黍 or something similar.

I mean… if I am to interpret this, the rock art is someone asking for a divination for rain so they can grow their crops.

Could this place in the Manila Bay be the ruins of an ancient city in the bay?

Excavation of Lalu island (the island in the middle of Sun Moon Lake) yielded artifacts from 1600 to 1000 years ago. There’s a iron bracelet, glass rings, and left-over jade material after manufacturing jade ware, with nephrite from Hualien.

Giant stone coffins carved out of giant rocks in Taidong and Hualien. Two of the most famous sites are Mararo’ong (Gongxia 宮下) and Xinshe (新社) in Fengbin (豐濱) Hualien.

I wonder if the sites in A’tolan (都蘭) are also the same thing.
