There is actually an older site than gobeli tepei called karhan tepei which also shows evidence of burying..

really excellent documentary which was uploaded 6 months ago,

Ramesses the Great, also known as Ramses II, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. He ruled for approximately 66 years, from 1279 BC until 1213 BC.
He is one of the most famous pharaohs, thanks to the numerous remnants that exist from his active reign.
The reign (1279-1213 B.C.) during which he ruled was the longest reign in the history of Egypt.
The meaning of his name is “Keeper of Harmony and Balance, Strong in Right, Elect of Ra.”

importance.

"Archaeologists excavated a 2.4-meter-deep midden on Jiigurru over a two-year period to discover evidence of occupation, such as the remains of shellfish and fish collected and eaten by people on the island, which are more than 6,000 years old.

"Less than a meter below the surface, the team found dozens of pottery shreds dating between 2,000 and 3,000 years old—the oldest pottery ever discovered in Australia," said Professor Ulm.

In a paper published April 9 in Quaternary Science Reviews, traditional owners and researchers report on the pottery find.

Professor Ulm said the discovery challenges previous notions that Aboriginal Australian communities were unaware of pottery manufacture before European settlement, instead suggesting a rich history of long-distance cultural exchanges and technological innovation long before British arrival.

THE ONLY ROMAN BOILER IN THE WORLD, FOUND INTACT, WITH ALL ITS PIPES, VALVES AND ACCESSORIES.
An extraordinary find, unique in the world, found in the excavations of the Villa Della Pisanella in Boscoreale.
The Villa della Pisanella, located in the Roman countryside of Boscoreale (Naples), constitutes one of the many productive settlements that, in Roman times, were scattered in the northern suburbs of Pompeii. Unfortunately, these settlements, except in rare cases, have not been the subject of systematic excavations, but only partial explorations. These rapid excavations, carried out without any scientific systematics, had the objective of recovering precious finds, which today are scattered in various museums around the world.
The first testimonies of the Villa Della Pisanella date back to November 1868, when Modestino Pulzella, while tracing the foundations of a wall, found some pre-existing wall structures. Continuing the excavations, some mosaics were found. The excavations then had to stop because the owner of the neighboring land, Vincenzo De Prisco, highlighted the danger of damage to his land. Only in September 1894 were excavations resumed, which continued until June 1895. This time precisely at the initiative of De Prisco who, evidently, no longer feared "damage." This is how the famous "Boscoreale Treasure" came to light, sensationally sold abroad due to a failure in legislation protecting cultural heritage. There was another interruption, which lasted about a year, before excavations resumed in May 1896. Thus the Roman baths and boiler came to light, found intact, with all their pipes. De Prisco then carried out the restoration of part of the villa, transforming it into a kind of museum (before it was decided to rebury it). And it is precisely during the life of the “Museo De Prisco” that the Alinari Brothers had the opportunity to take this extraordinary photo.
The boiler was equipped with real taps to regulate the flow of water. The valves were of the male type: the upper cylinder was then inserted into the valve body and, by piercing it, it closed and opened the flow of water with a 90 degree rotation. The production of this type of mechanisms by the Collegia Fabrorum had to comply with precisely established standards, similar to those defined today by the EU, which we know through the work of Frontinus: De aquae ductu urbis Romae.
The boiler and pipes were made of lead but the valves were made of bronze and cast in a single block using molds. The connection to the lead pipes was made by soldering. Instead of the blowtorch, small flat-tipped rods (a type of screwdriver) were used, the tips of which had been heated to red hot thanks to the use of portable forges. Additionally, a solder wire with a 70% lead alloy was used. For the flux (the product that favors the distribution of the new metal on the surface to be soldered, protecting it from oxidation) pine resin was probably used.
As for the current location of the caldera, thanks to the information provided by Nobile Di Castroreale, it is known that it is preserved in the technological section of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN). Section currently under renovation and not open to the public.

Impressive ancient stonework and zoomorphic figurines carved on megalithic stones in Peru. (Peru conócelo). The ancients were truly artistic and masters of their craft..

A cross section of ground from the A303 highway in England that traces the path of the ancient Roman road, the Fosse Way, which has historical significance dating back thousands of years. This route passes by Stonehenge, the famous prehistoric monument, and has been a hub of human activity since the Iron Age and possibly even earlier.

The Denisovans were an ancient human population that once roamed the Earth alongside the Neanderthals and modern Homo sapiens. However, nobody knew about them up until a path-breaking discovery in the Denisovan Cave in Siberia. In 2010, an analysis of mitochondrial DNA extracted from a finger bone found in the Denisova Cave in the Russian Altai revealed the existence of a new hominin taxon. This newly described group was found to be genetically distinct from both Homo sapiens and homo neanderthalensis. The bone, dating back to the Initial Upper Paleolithic, opened up a whole new chapter in our understanding of human evolution. But it did not stop there! Thanks to the power of ancient DNA analysis, researchers have been able to piece together the story of the Denisovans, their migration patterns, and even their interactions with other human species. The Denisovan DNA has revealed fascinating insights into our own genetic makeup, such as their contributions to our immune system, metabolism, and even the ability to adapt to high altitudes. The small bone fragment, from a girl's little finger, discovered from the Denisova Cave was sent to Svante Pääbo, the Head of the Department of Genetics at the Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology.

10 million years ago, turtles could eat you with a single bite. The world’s largest turtle that roamed South America 10 million years ago - the Stupendemys Geographicus

Stupendemys is an extinct genus of freshwater side-necked turtle, belonging to the family Podocnemididae. It is the largest freshwater turtle known to have existed, with a carapace over 2 meters long. Its fossils have been found in northern South America, in rocks dating from the Middle Miocene to the very

start of the Pliocene, about 13 to 5 million years ago. Male specimens are known to have possessed bony horns growing from the front edges of the shell and the discovery of the fossil of a young adult shows that the carapace of these turtles flattens with age. A fossil skull described in 2021 indicates that Stupendemys was a generalist feeder
