This medieval skull, safeguarded by chain mail, belonged to a courageous warrior who lost his life in the fierce Battle of Visby back in 1361 AD. After the clash, the remains of the fallen, along with their weapons and armor, were laid to rest in a communal grave, making the site a remarkable archaeological treasure. Today, this artifact resides at the Gotland Museum in Sweden, serving as a solemn tribute to a soldier whose story lives on in history. #archaeohistories

Olmec colossal heads are stone representations of human heads sculpted from large basalt boulders. They range in height from 1.17 to 3.4m. The heads date from at least 900 BC and are a distinctive feature of the Olmec civilization of ancient Mesoamerica. Here are some vintage photos of people posing with Olmec colossal heads in Mexico. #archaeohistories
