It comes with a morbid caution.<\/h2>\n

Just when we think we\u2019ve uncovered every secret of the past, archaeologists unearth a new discovery that unlocks more answers.<\/p>\n

Last year researchers found an incredibly preserved\u00a03,000-year-old sword<\/a>, which likely dates back to the 14th century B.C.E.<\/p>\n

The blade wasn\u2019t the only thing found, it was discovered in a grave site along with a range of other\u00a0artifacts<\/a>\u00a0and the skeletons of three people – a man, a woman and a child.<\/p>\n

Now scientists have uncovered even more mysterious items from the past and one in particular comes with a terrifying warning.<\/p>\n

Last year,\u00a0archaeologists<\/a>\u00a0came across a\u00a0royal seal from the Hittite Empire<\/a> in the ancient city of B\u00fckl\u00fckale, in modern day Turkey.<\/p>\n

The team had been excavating the site for more than a decade when they found the seal which comes with a worrying warning.<\/p>\n

The haunting message emblazoned onto it states: \u201cwhoever breaks this will die\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now the recent find is shedding new light on the practices of the ancient empire, how their religious customs and legal operations were conducted.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the \u0130hlas News Agency, Dr. Matsumara, who led the group to the discovery, said: \u201cThere is cuneiform writing on this seal. On the seal, the Great King Tabarna (Sovereign King) or Tavananna (Sovereign Queen) writes \u2018Whoever breaks this will die\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese seals were usually stamped on contracts, stating that if something was done against the contract, it would be penalized. The king and queen from Hattusa sent something here. This shows that this city was in intensive relations between Hattusa and the royal family.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, Hurrian tablets have been found. The discovery of Hurrian tablets shows that religious ceremonies were held here. It is known that these ceremonies were held by the Hittite royal family, the king or queen. Therefore, it is thought that the Hittite king came or resided here. It shows that B\u00fckl\u00fckale was an important city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exactly how important the ancient city once was may become clear with further excavations.<\/p>\n

There have been other artifacts uncovered recently that have also unlocked secrets to civilizations that are long gone.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0small stone seal that depicts Hercules<\/a>\u00a0– known in Greek and Roman mythology as the god of strength and heroes – dates all the way back to around 800-750 BCE and was found by an archaeological team in Tel Hazor, Israel, in 2022.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hoped that the more we unearth, the closer we\u2019ll get to understanding these mysterious, ancient empires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
