Archaeology has had some jaw-dropping moments when the past decided to surprise us. Like when a farmer in China accidentally stumbled upon the Terracotta Army while digging a well—an entire clay army buried with China’s first emperor! Or the time a forgotten city, Machu Picchu, was "discovered" high in the Andes, hidden in plain sight for centuries. Even Rosetta Stone changed the game by helping us finally decode ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. And let’s not forget the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient texts found in caves that revealed secrets of early religious practices. These unexpected finds show us that history can still surprise us, lurking in the most unassuming places.
