Who doesn’t like looking at old things from the past? When we see interesting items from days gone by, we want to shout, in the words of Indiana Jones, “That belongs in a museum!” From priceless treasures to crumbling buildings and from abandoned vehicles to historic artifacts, these photos of cool old stuff will make you appreciate – or question – the past.

Remember back twenty-plus years ago when everyone was buying up collectible plush toys because they were certain that they would be so valuable in the future that they could pay for their children’s college education by selling off their plushies? Yea, that was a crazy time. Wonder how much these plushies are worth today, after sitting untouched on the shelves of a shuttered restaurant’s gift shop. Do you think selling these dusty relics would net enough money to pay for tuition, room and board, and books at an Ivy League college? 

A trove of 24 bronze statues was just discovered in a network of baths built by the Etruscans in Tuscany, dating back 2300 years.

This bronze statue is one of 24 statues that were found in early 2022 in San Casciano dei Bagni, a town that was known for its thermal baths that is located in the Siena province in Italy. The perfectly preserved statues were protected by the heated water and mud of the natural hot springs. The statues were the works of the Etruscans who built a series of baths in Tuscany to take advantage of the geothermal activity in the region. Archaeologists estimate that the statues are at least 2,300 years old.
