Herodium is a major archaeological site, home to an impressive palace dating to the time of King Herod. Located about 10km south of Jerusalem, the site was also the burial location of Herod, hence the tumulus shape of the hill. Herodium is known as “Mountain of Franks” or “Jabal al-Fourdis” the “Mountain of Paradise”.

The cave Di Cusa situated in Sicily is the Mediterraneans best kept secret from the ancient past because this particular megalithic site shows clear signs of advanced machining on its gigantic cylindrical pillar sides. While archaeologists state that there are and I quote "Pick markings from various stone tools" visible as to how these massive pillars were cut from the existing resistant limestone, yet the evidence of a consistent rotating cutting tool coincidentally aren"t mentioned, a cutting tool may I add to suggest obvious boring techniques to get the job done. Anyone with an ounce of common sense or basic understanding of engineering would see evidence of advanced technology within this ancient site which is unbelievably ascribed to the preposterous notion of primitive stone tools. It"s also suggested that the construction job was quickly abandoned in 409 BC due to the arrival of Carthaginian invader Hannibal Mago which I"m highly opposed to.
I am opposed to this notion because I think this site is far older than what is currently proposed and I"m also going to go on record to suggest that this site was abandoned by a possible earth catastrophe which also put a stop to many other inexplicable megalithic sites such as the unfinished Monolith in Aswan,Egypt and the 1200 ton stone of the pregnant woman at Baalbek in Lebanon to name just a few. I am also strongly inclined to believe as I"ve said before that this global network of advanced mega builders who I personally believe were responsible for many of these feats were also either wiped out much like their handiwork or they departed knowing of the incoming catastrophe we see referenced in more or less every ancient text and scribe within all cultures worldwide.

Roman tombstone that was discovered in 1829, during work on a road at Harraby Hill (Gallows Hill) in the city of Carlisle in Cumberland/Cumbria, England. It is the tombstone of a woman named Aurelia Aureliana and dates to the 3rd century AD.
There were two forts in what is now Carlisle: Luguvalium and Uxelodunum. There were also several cemeteries nearby, including one at Harraby Hill.
The buff sandstone tombstone depicts a female figure holding poppies symbolizing the sleep of death. The inscription reads:
"D(is) M(anibus) Aur(elia) Aurelia(na) vixsit
annos ###XI Ulpius
Apolinaris coniugi carissime
posuit."
Translation:
"To the spirits of the departed; Aurelia Aureliana lived 41 years. Ulpius Apolinaris set this up to his very beloved wife."
(ROMAN INSCRIPTIONS OF BRITAIN, 959)
Below is a short extract from The Gentleman"s Magazine 1829 part 2 p.357 "ROMAN ANTIQUITIES NEAR CARLISLE," which describes the discovery and tombstone:
"As the cutting down of Gallow-hill, near Carlisle proceeds, many interesting remains of former ages are brought to light; but especially memorials of the dominion of the Romans, whose chief northern stations, as is well known, were in this district. A discovery was made lately, of a well-executed and neatly designed Roman tomb, in fine preservation, five feet four inches long, and two feet nine inches and a half wide. It contained a female figure, in alto relievo, three feet in length, holding in her left hand a rudely sculptured flower; in her right a scarf, or some emblematical ornament, which is thrown over the shoulder. Underneath is the inscription: "D. M. Avr. aurelia vixit annos ###xi: mil. Pius Apolinaris coniugi carissime posuit." Probably:- Diis Manibus Aureliae. Aurelia vixit annos 41: Memoriae loco Pius Apolinaris conjugi carissimaae posuit." Near the stone was also discovered a roughly executed capital of a Corinthian column, 24 inches by 10, in red free-stone; also six Roman urns, of various dimensions, (one of them full of ashes), a lachrymatory, and three jet rings; the largest three inches in diameter, and in an extraordinary perfect state."
The tombstone is on display in the Great North Museum: Hancock, in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.

The ruins of Sanquhar Castle just outside the village of Sanquhar in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland—then and now.
Unfortunately, I don"t know the date of the old photo. It is probably early 1900s.
Sanquhar Castle was first built in either the 13th or 14th century and fell into ruin after the 17th century. Restoration work was undertaken by John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, but with his death in 1900 work stopped.
Today, it is in a ruinous state and unsafe. A fence blocks public access to the ruins.

1,100-year-old Viking sword pulled from English river by magnet fisher
Trevor Penny, a magnet fisherman, pulled a corroded Viking sword dating back to as early as CE 850 from the River Cherwell in Oxfordshire.
The sword, authenticated as Viking and estimated to be over 1,200 years old, represents a period of conflict and cultural exchange between the Anglo-Saxons and the invading Danish Vikings. It hails from a time when England was divided, and skirmishes between the two factions were common....

"2000-year-old marble thrones at the ancient theatre of Amphiareion of Oropos, Greece.
The Amphiareion at Oropos, sanctuary of the hero Amphiaraos, was greatly famed and frequented by pilgrims who went to seek oracular responses and healing.
The largest building in the sanctuary is a stoa (mid-4th century BC) which served as the enkoimeterion for the patients.
The sanctuary also contained a theatre. The theatre is dated to the 2nd century BCE by inscriptions and the seating area was likely composed of wooden seats on stone supports.
Five marble prohedria (seat of honor at the front of the seating area) were discovered placed around the orchestra."

"Odeon of Herodes Atticus, on southwest slopes of Acropolis, Athens 🇬🇷.
Built by Herodes Atticus, a rich Greek aristocrat and Roman senator, in 161 AD, in memory of his wife, Aspasia Anni Regilla. The Theatre was destroyed in 267 AD by Herules, Germanic barbarians of 3rd Century AD.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus - or simply the “Herodeon” as it is more commonly known - is one of the most prominent ancient sites of Athens. And that says a lot, given that Athens brims with all kinds of archaeological attractions and architectural wonders of a glorious past.
Part of the open-air theater’s present fame stems from the fact that it’s nowadays used as a stage for concerts, plays, and all kinds of performances.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is one of the oldest and most prestigious theatres in the world. In the times of ancient Greece, the amphitheaters called Odeons were used for hosting plays and musical performances as well as gathering places for locals – and the “Herodeon” was the most famous among them.

"One of the most beautiful, surprising and brilliant masterpieces of Egypt""s righteous son, warrior king and architect, King Ramesses II.
This amazing statue was made of black diorite, the same stone from which the statue of King Hafar was made, as well as Rosetta, which is of extremely hard fiery stone, and the third is a bright to classic color.
This statue represents a masterpiece of Egyptian sculpture. It represents him in a different image from the official royal establishment that was familiar before. It shows the king sitting on the throne, with his back clearly on a column with inscriptions on it, wearing loose Egyptian clothing, and it was not the blue crown, or the khabarish crown. . (Helmet of combat and war), and he holds the scepter of Haqqa (authority) in his hand, while wearing on his feet the strappy shoes (sandals) with which he desecrates the enemies of Egypt surrounding it, represented in the form of nine arches, confirming the king’s absolute dominance over Egypt and foreign countries..
To the right of the king, next to the witch, is a small statue of his old wife, Nefertari, with the words “Beloved by the Theban Goddess” written underneath, and on the left side is a small statue of his son, Amun Harkhepshef.
The statue was made early in the period of Wisdom of Intelligence (1279 - 1213 BC), in the era of the nineteenth modern Egyptian dynasty, from the Kingdom. This statue is the most famous historical piece in the Turin Museum, Italy, as the statue of Ramses represents this museum’s pride."
