unexplained mysteries no one heard of, aluminum wedge

 

There are tons of unusual discoveries that conspiracy theorists claim as evidence of all kinds of things. One that eludes any kind of explanation is the Aluminum Wedge of Aiud. Found in 1974 on the banks of the Mures River in Romania, this oddly-shaped form was resting in the same layer of soil as a pair of mastodon bones, implying that it is at least 11,000 years old. What makes it perplexing is that humanity didn't learn how to shape and cast aluminum until 1808 at the very earliest. Some theorize that the Wedge was the head of a primitive hammer or a hunting tool, but nobody knows its exact purpose or provenance.
