Actually, ancient artifacts that shouldn't really exist according to our scientists have always facinated me.
The Peri Reis Map accurately maps the northern coast of Antarctica - which shouldn't be possible, as the coast has supposedly been covered by icecaps nearly a mile thick for nearly a milliion years. Additionally, it accurately maps portions of North and South America long before they were discovered.
The Antikythera Device is a 2000 year old computer believed to calculate the motions of stars and planets.
There are many, many more questions that are unanswered, and I doubt they ever will. The past will always be surrounded in mystery, but it is amazing to think - even now - how little we know of it. For some of these items to simply exist throws a wrench into modern scientists' view of ancient technology and culture, and makes you wonder what those times were really like - and how advanced they actually were...
