(Strangest Things: Season 3: Crystal Skull, Dragon Chair, Assyrian Star Map) Věda Locked away in the vaults of museums, laboratories and storage rooms are the most remarkable and mysterious objects on Earth. Until now, the public has never had such access to these rare finds. Using the latest 3D imaging, we can pull them apart, zero in on small details, and rebuild lost or damaged features to uncover their mind-boggling, ancient and bizarre secrets. Scientists and historians reveal the most up-to-date understanding of these oddities and ponder the unanswered questions that remain. From the rarest artifacts found in buried tombs to the weirdest inventions of military engineers and mad scientists to the most beautiful and feared relics of cults and lost societies, these are the world’s strangest things. In 1898, a stunning object shows up at the British Museum. Carved and polished from a single piece of quartz, it is shaped like an immaculate human skull. Is this a creation of Mesoamericans, as originally claimed? Why is it rumoured to possess supernatural power? A gruesome-looking chair from ancient China, housed at the Wellcome Collection in London, is covered in sword blades, spikes and ornate decorations. Clearly, this is no love seat. Is it some kind of torture device, or more than meets the eye? From a long-buried library in the lost Assyrian city of Nineveh comes a peculiar round tablet scribbled with cuneiform writing. Is it the work of astronomers, proof of an ancient apocalypse, or a 3,000-year-old instruction manual? MN 7 (United States)
