#10 The Mount Owen Moa
This claw is from a Moa, a flightless bird which has not been in existence for nearly 500 years, so this claw is in unbelievable shape.
#9 An Unfinished Obelisk
This is an obelisk, which is essentially a decorative stone pillar, but the cracks in the granite signal that the project was ultimately abandoned.
#8 The Gate Of The Sun
This intricate, Stonehenge-like structure resides in Bolivia and is possibly the spot of origin for all of mankind.
#7 The Longyou Grottoes
These caves are manmade, and likely are the remnants of the Qin dynasty, dating as far back as 212 BC.
#6 L’Anse aux Meadows
This Canadian province is the result of Viking settlers, proving that Chris Columbus was not the first dude to touch land on the continent.
#5 Gobekli Tepe
This ancient Turkish pyramid represents the importance of religion in the ancient society, as it was constructed before even homes in the city.
#4 The Voynich Manuscript
This manuscript was discovered centuries ago, and experts remain conflicted about which language it actually is, even to this day.
#3 Stone Age Tunnels
A long, seemingly never-ending series of underground tunnels are confirmed to be man-made, and the architecture boggles even the most sophisticated designers.
#2 Mohenjo-daro
This Sindh, Pakistan ruin is proof that an ancient civilization planned drainage, had social order, and housed nearly 40,000 people.
#1 Saksaywaman
This ancient stone structure found just outside of Peru uses nothing to hold the stones together, and they fit together like a game of Tetris.
