299,999 Year Old Human Skull
Compared to others, this is a rather new discovery. A team of researchers from the London Natural History Museum and Griffith University in Australia found a skull from the early 20th century. However, it was dated inaccurately back then. The 20th century researchers thought that the Zambian skull came from 500,000 years ago! A century after that, research teams learned the truth with the help of modern technology. In 2020, researchers revealed that the skull was 299,000 years old instead. And yes, the skull was indeed formerly inside a breathing person from species of humans that resided in the area.

Original Gibson Stradivarius
In 1713, the Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius was crafted. The antique violin is believed to be worth $15 million, so it is not shocking to hear that it has been stolen twice in the past. An Italian craftsman from Cremona called Antonio Stradivari made the beautiful musical instrument. It has been gone through a number of owners due to the thefts. It is now owned by a violinist by the name of Joshua Bell. He sold a Tom Taylor Stradivarius to bring it home. He shelled out $4 million for it a few decades ago, and its value has since more than tripled. His first recording with it was “Romance of the Violin” in 2003.
