#30 Maritime Archaeologists In Israel Uncovered A Giant Treasure Trove Of Ancient Artifacts From Two Shipwrecks That Sank 1,000 Years Apart — Including A 1,700-Year-Old Gold Ring With An Early Christian Symbol For Jesus Carved Into It
Among the other finds were hundreds of silver and bronze Roman-era coins, bronze eagle figurines and bells, and a precious red gemstone with a lyre carved on the surface.
But archaeologists are most excited about the gold ring, which shows Jesus as the “good shepherd,” one of the first images associated with Christianity and one that’s rarely found on jewelry.

#32 For Nearly 60 Years, The Small Town Of Centralia, Pennsylvania Has Been On Fire. Neither The State Nor The Federal Government Have Been Able To Figure Out How To Extinguish The Blaze, And The Town Has Been Abandoned Except For Five Remaining Residents
When they die, the state will seize and raze their homes, as it has done with every other structure that once stood in what’s now a ghost town.
Today, this abandoned town is covered in a constant blanket of smoke and plagued by plumes of noxious smoke that burst out of enormous cracks that have opened up in the ground. Its environs are so chilling that it inspired the setting of the horror franchise “Silent Hill.”
