China’s 3,800-Year-Old Mummies—and 9 Finds That Fooled Scientists In this video, we count down ten ancient human discoveries that overturned stories scientists once thought they understood—from the three-foot-tall humans of Flores and the Ancient One of Washington to a Denisovan skull, a country beneath the North Sea, and China’s three-thousand-eight-hundred-year-old desert mummies.
