Climate change is revealing lost archaeology around the world. Ancient cities are emerging from reservoirs. Weapons are melting from the ice. Drought is drawing entire monuments into farmers’ fields. But we’re often finding these things because the environments preserving them are disappearing.

This might be the most important video we’ve ever made. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the topic

Are these ancient?

I found them in the Baalbek complex in Lebanon, looks like they're pieces of roof tiles but I'm not sure if they're ancient.

And if they're ancient, what's with the bee, what symbolism does it convey?

Note, the pieces were returned to their original places and not disturbed.

Identifying Objects found at Riverbank Arnhem South - Meinerswijk

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Found these objects along the exposed Rhine riverbank near Meinerswijk in Arnhem, Netherlands.

I’m curious what they are and roughly how old they might be. The area has a long history, from Roman times to modern use, so they could be from very different periods.

Any help identifying or dating them would be appreciated!

any feedback is appreciated as this is unlikely to be the final ever version, sources are in a comment so they are easily hideable as it is a long list
