9Mount Owen Moa

Archaeologists discovered the claw of a bird in a cave in New Zealand in 1986. The claw still has muscles and flesh attached to it. Scientists later confirmed the foot came from a moa–a now extinct wingless bird which died off more 2000 years prior to the discovery.

The moa was a large bird which stood up to 12 feet tall and weighed as much as 552 pounds. The moas were hunted into extinction by early man. The sharp moa claws are currently in a museum in New Zealand. Click On the Next Button to See Next.

  1. WTF? – how did something un-discovered make the list of The Most Mysterious Archaeological DISCOVERIES Of All Time? At No 1 no less!

  2. Hello Mikw!
    You have a very unusual name there!
    Apparently you misunderstood.
    While some think it could be Atlantis, it has not been officially confirmed as such. Therein lies the mystery and the reason why it tops the list.
    At any rate, thanks for reading!

  3. Hi!
    The trouble is that the moment someone makes a claim another person comes along and claims something else. So who knows? It is fascinating though, isn’t it? Thanks for your comment and thanks for reading my stuff!

  5. Hi!
    To be fair, that is not always true. In fact, when I initially publish the articles that i write, you can scroll. So keep a closer eye on this website and you will be able to scroll the articles before they are permanently formatted. Oh, and let’s be clear: Many other websites also use that click next format as well. Thanks for your comment. I will assume from your brief missive that you think everything else is perfect or at least to your individual liking.
