Hobbit Village Discovered

Much of the real Irish, Scottish, and even British history has been lost and is no longer taught, but parts remain in European myths and legend. Long before Stonehenge, or most of the Egyptian pyramids were built, a thriving village existed in Scotland. One day, a farmer on the island of Orkney, found a large stone that didn’t look like it belonged in its environment. When the farmer flipped over the stone, he was shocked at what he discovered underneath, a hidden and lost village that existed over 5,000 years ago. More from Robert Sepehr, anthropologist and author.

Myths That Probably Existed

Hobbits, one of the more visual subjects in the popular J.R.R. Tolkien The Lord of the Rings trilogy, may not really be a figment of his vivid imagination after all. Excavations of a limestone cave on the Indonesian island of Flores uncovered a 3-foot-tall skeleton and nine other similar bodies, resembling hobbits the way we picture them today. Signs of early civilization were found with the bodies and scientists believe they were a different species of Neanderthals. Check out nine other mythical things that probably existed in this edition of Top 10 Archive.
