    Indeed. He/she missed a couple that I know of: the ancient clock mechanism pictured at the start of the video but not talked about and the 1000 year old battery found in India.

    There are loads of weird things like that.

    Pipe found in China
    Weird little engraved balls that are thousands of years old
    Bolt found fossilised
    Aluminium artifacts found waaaaay before aluminium was 'invented'

    I need to start going back to the office...
