The Grave Of Richard III (25 August 1485)
Archaeologists from the University of Leicester in England discovered King Richard III's grave in 2012. The king passed away in battle in 1485, and rather than a state funeral, Richard's body was reportedly held at the Grey Friars Church in Leicester. Archaeologists found the former church and recovered the late king's bones using historical records. Richard III was reburied in Leicester Cathedral in a marble tomb in 2015.

#14 Oh, it's definitely aliens. You know, because they've mastered intragalactic space travel, but can't write in straight lines and draw pictures like a six year old with a box of crayons.

Samson,
it's interesting because nobody was able to decipher it. It was sold to Rudolf II at some point so chances are it was just faked to make money, however when they analyzed the texts there was no statistical evidence that it was just made up. It checked out as a language (from a statstical point of view) so it _may_ well be a code.

I think you started overusing the term "most famous artifact" when you got to #21.
#24 Mm-hm. "Detailed."
#28 Is he resting his massive chin on his... ? Impressive, indeed.
#30 No forms of entertainment? There were toys for kids, there was music, dancing, many forms of art, plays, drinking, orgies... more drinking and more orgies... that's... well, that's about it, I guess.
#33 They seem unsure. The sign reads: "Burial site of Richard III?"

#16 It was their obsession with making these things that ultimately led to their downfall. The process used up almost all of the island's resources, which led to massive cultural upheaval.

#4 due to the fact that it had the same script written in 3 languages and one of it was ancient Greek that people can still read even today. I understand that Russia has allied with turkey against Ukraine and you russians hate anything that reminds you of Democracy, but don't be so scared to mention historical facts. After all you live in America, the land of freedom.
