The biggest trilobite ever found
Terataspis is a comparatively huge, 60-centimeter-long trilobite from the Early Devonian period, about 397 million years ago. It lived in a shallow sea in what is now New York state and Ontario. No whole specimens have been found, only disarticulated fragments of its exoskeleton, but enough fragments have been found to allow researchers to form reconstructions of the entire animal.

A Babylonian clay tablet dating back to 2003 BC containing a solution to a problem in planar geometry regarding a rectangle with a specific area and diameter. In the last part of the text, the validity of the solution was proven using the Pythagorean theorem. It is believed that the solution steps represent geometric cut-and-paste operations that include a diagram, noting that this tablet predates the birth of Pythagoras by 1433 years, which confirms that the Pythagorean theorem was derived from the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia

In the colossal, cathedral sized water tank beneath the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey, several heads of Medusa have been used as pillar bases for the past 1.500 years. It is not entirely known where the heads came from, but they were believed to be taken from some other Roman ruin. The heads are upside down or sideways to inhibit the power of the Gorgon Medusa's gaze.

The water tank's existence was forgotten for hundreds of years, despite being beneath the Hagia Sophia. When it was rediscovered, explorers found fish inside of it.
