This is a sure-fire way to ruin a beach day. Two beachcombers found something strange on Ocean Beach, San Francisco in 2012. The tombstone of Emma Bosworth was found. She died in 1876 at the age of twenty. A month after the discovery of this tombstone, another one washed up on shore.
This one was dated back to 1890, and it belonged to Delia Prescot, who died at just twenty-six-years-old. San Francisco relocated cemeteries in the city to Colma. This is how tombstones ended up on Ocean Beach. The tombstones that were used in the film were left on Ocean Beach, where they became a seawall. These stones were washed up on the beach when parts of the seawall fell off.
58. A mysterious cone-shaped structure found in the Sea of Galilee
Location: Sea of Galilee in Israel
Year Found: 2013.
Est. Value: Unknown
Many strange things have been found on the bottom of lakes, oceans and other bodies. Scientists were testing sonar gear in Israel’s Sea of Galilee, when they discovered something strange at the bottom of water.
Scientists were confused by the massive cone-shaped structure, which measured 230 feet wide and 39 feet high. This giant underwater cone was estimated to weigh up to 60,000 tons. It is possible that the structure was a ceremonial one, as it resembles other nearby burial sites. It is difficult to study because the cone is so deep under water. Researchers have estimated it to be 6,000 years old.
