In 2010, as the site of the World Trade Center attack was being excavated, researchers discovered something strange underneath the rubble.

Archaeologists found a an ancient ship which sat at 22 feet (6.7 meters) below street level, as per Futurism.

The old wooden ship left researchers dumbfounded, with teams rushing to figure out where the incredibly it came from and how the hell it wound up in the middle of the Big Apple.
