9. The Heart Of A Saint
In March 2012, a sneaky thief stole the 800-year-old heart of Saint Laurence O’Toole, Dublin’s patron saint, from the Christ Church Cathedral. The intruder, who investigators believe may have hidden in the church overnight, took the time to light two candles at the altar before making off with the relic.

8. ‘Xenomorph’ Skulls
Many societies throughout the ancient world engaged in a practice called intentional cranial deformation or ICM, which involved purposely reshaping their head. Archaeologists unearthed some of the oldest known evidence of the custom in 2019 at the Neolithic Houtaomuga site in northeastern China.

7. A Structure Frozen In Time
A farmhouse in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland that looked pretty ordinary from the outside served as a spooky time capsule before it was demolished two years ago. The home’s last occupant, a man known as ‘Dessie,’ was the last of three brothers who lived there.

6. Ofuka-Cho Mass Grave
Earlier this year, archaeologists excavated a series of strange, circular holes at the Ofuka-Cho site in Osaka, Japan. The holes contained the remains of over 1,500 people and animals squished inside creating a large cemetery.

5. Eerie Shipwreck
The ruins of the SV Carl, a German ship that ran aground off the Cornish coast during World War I, reappeared in late 2019 during low tide following a violent storm. The British Navy was towing the 60-foot (18.3 meters) three-masted steel-hulled sailing vessel to London in 1917 with plans to dismantle it for scrap metal when it became stuck on a reef during a storm and broke away from its tow line. It sounds like it knew what was coming!

4. A Scary Massacre
When a Siberia resident named Vitaly Kvasha began digging in his yard in 2019 with plans to expand his home, he unexpectedly encountered human bones -- and not just a few of them. The skeletal remains kept turning up so Kvasha just kept going, putting the bones in flour sacks. The bags started stacking up against his house.

3. A Crash From The Past
In September 1942, during World War II, a U.S. fighter plane went down off the coast of North Wales. The pilot, 24-year-old Second Lt. Robert F. Elliot, crash-landed the Lockheed P-38 Lightning Fighter during a gunnery practice mission after running into mechanical difficulties.

2. New Forest Arborglyphs
This year has not been good for travel and visiting historical and archaeological sites around the world, so many organizations are turning to the internet so that people can visit virtually. In October, England’s New Forest National Park Authority (NPA) displayed over 100 examples of historic tree etchings, called arborglyphs, on its website.

1. Notre Dame Crypt
The April 2019 fire at the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris put the historic building out of commission for a long time. Even parts of the structure that were not damaged in the blaze had to close, including the archaeological crypt that sits beneath the courtyard, which was covered in toxic lead dust, mold, and debris.
