7 of the Most Amazing Archaeological Discoveries Made in People's Back Gardens

Us humans have inhabited Earth a long time, leaving behind many remnants of the past and historical nuggets along the way. While it's common knowledge that many incredible discoveries have been made in fields and deserts, and the like; some equally intriguing archeological finds have been made from the gardens of normal folk like us. Maybe you are sitting on a skeleton dated back to Ancient Greece, or even a couple of bows & arrows from the battle of Hastings. There’s only one way to find out if you are housed on top of the lost city of Atlantis, and that’s to excavate your whole property! However, if you don’t fancy getting the bucket and spade out of the shed in effort to find Tutankhamun’s favourite handkerchief, have a look what these folks dug up at home...

Not got a Cranium Clue!

Recently in a neighborhood swimming pool in Orlando, a contractor stumbled upon two sinister looking skulls. However, these skulls are not of this time whatsoever – but date back to 1200 AD judging by the pots that were with it (and the extra ‘Inca’ bone both skulls possessed). The biggest mystery, however, is that how the skulls became wrapped in an English newspaper which was dated 1978.
