The last mysteries of the world. Mysteries of history

Each of these mysterious stories could be called a detective story. But in detectives, as you know, all secrets are revealed to the last page. And in these stories the answer is still far away, although over some of them humanity has been puzzling for decades. Perhaps we are not destined to find clues for them? Or will the veil of secrecy ever open slightly? And what do you think?

43 missing Mexican students

In 2014, 43 students from a pedagogical college from Ayotzinapa went to a demonstration in Iguala, where the mayor's wife was to speak to the residents. The corrupt mayor instructed the police to rid him of this problem. On his orders, police detained students, and two students and three random witnesses died as a result of hard detention. The remaining students, as it turned out, were handed over to the local criminal syndicate Guerreros Unidos. The next day, the body of one of the students was found on the street with skin torn from his face. Later found the remains of two more students. Relatives and friends of students organized mass demonstrations, provoking a full-blown political crisis in the country. The corrupt mayor, his friends and the police chief tried to escape, but were detained a few weeks later. The provincial governor resigned, several dozen police officers and officials were arrested. And only one thing remained a mystery - the fate of almost four dozen students is still unknown.

Oak Island Money Pit

Off the coast of Nova Scotia, in Canadian territory, there is a small island - Oak Island, or Oak Island. There is the famous "money pit". According to legend, the locals found it back in 1795. This is a very deep and complex mine, in which, according to legend, innumerable treasures lurk. Many tried to get into it - but the design is insidious, and after the treasure hunter has dug to a certain depth, the mine begins to flood intensively with water. They say that daredevils found at a depth of 40 meters a stone tablet with a scratched inscription: "Two million pounds buried 15 meters deeper." More than one generation has tried to get the promised treasure out of the pit. Even the future president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, when he was a student at Harvard, came to Oak Island with a group of friends to try his luck. But the treasure is not given to anyone. And is he there? ..

Who was Benjamin Kyle?

In 2004, an unknown man woke up outside a Burger King diner in Georgia. He was not wearing clothes, there were no documents with him, but the worst thing was that he did not remember anything about himself. That is, absolutely nothing! The police conducted a thorough investigation, but could not find the traces: neither missing people with such signs, nor relatives who would have identified him from the photo. Soon he was given the name Benjamin Kyle, under whom he continues to live until now. Without documents and evidence of some kind of education, he could not find a job, but one local businessman, learning about him from a television program, out of pity gave him the place of a dishwasher. He works there now. The doctors ’efforts to awaken his memory, and the police’ efforts to find his previous traces, did not yield results.

Severed legs

“Severed Legs Shore” is the name given to the shore on the northwest Pacific coast of British Columbia. He got this terrible name because the locals several times found here severed human legs shod in sneakers or sneakers. From 2007 to the present, 17 have been found, most of them right-wing. There are several theories that explain why feet are thrown to this shore - natural disasters, the work of a serial killer ... some even claim that the mafia destroys the bodies of its victims on this remote beach. But none of these theories looks convincing, but where the truth is, no one knows.

Dancing Death, 1518

One day in the summer of 1518 in Strasbourg, a woman suddenly began to dance in the middle of the street. She danced wildly until she fell from exhaustion. The strangest thing is that others gradually joined her. A week later, 34 people were dancing in the city, and a month later - 400. Many dancers died from overwork and heart attacks. Doctors did not know what to think, and the clergy also could not in any way drive out the demons that settled in the dancers. In the end, it was decided to leave the dancers alone. The fever gradually came to naught, but no one recognized what caused it. They talked about some special kind of epilepsy, about poisoning, and even about a secret, pre-coordinated religious ceremony. But the scientists of that time did not find the exact answer.

Alien Signal

On August 15, 1977, Jerry Eman, who monitored signals from outer space at the Volunteer Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Civilizations, caught a signal on a random radio frequency, clearly coming from deep space, from the constellation Sagittarius. This signal was much stronger than the cosmic noise that Eman used to hear on the air. It lasted only 72 seconds and consisted of a completely specific, in the observer's opinion, completely random list of letters and numbers, which, however, was accurately reproduced several times in a row. Eman disciplinedly recorded the sequence reported about it to colleagues in the search for aliens. However, further listening to this frequency yielded nothing, as well as any attempts to catch at least some signal from the constellation Sagittarius. What it was - a rally of completely earthly jokers or an attempt by an extraterrestrial civilization to get in touch with us - no one still knows.

Unknown from Somerton Beach

And here is another perfect murder, the secret of which has not yet been revealed. December 1, 1948 in Australia, on the Somerton Beach in southern Adelaide, the body of an unknown man was discovered. There were no documents with him, only in one of his pockets was a note with two words found: "Taman Shud." It was a string from the ruby \u200b\u200bof Omar Khayyam, meaning "end". It was not possible to find out the causes of the death of the unknown. The forensic investigator considered the issue to be poisoning, but could not prove it. Others believed that it was a suicide, but this statement was also unproven. The mysterious affair excited not only Australia, but the whole world. They tried to establish the identity of the unknown in almost all countries of Europe and America, but the efforts of the police proved futile, and the history of Taman Shud remained covered in a veil of secrecy.

Confederate Treasures

This legend still haunts American treasure seekers - and not only them. According to legend, when the northerners were already close to victory in the Civil War, the treasurer of the Confederate government, George Trenholm, in desperation decided to deprive the winners of their legitimate booty - the treasury of the southerners. Confederate President Jefferson Davis personally took on this mission. He left Richmond with his guard with a huge load of gold, silver and jewelry. Nobody knows where they went, but when the northerners captured Davis, there were no jewelry with him, and 4 tons of Mexican gold dollars also disappeared without a trace. Davis never revealed the secret of gold. Some believe that he gave it to South planters to bury it until better times, others that it was buried somewhere in the vicinity of Danville, Virginia. Some believe that the secret society of the “Knights of the Golden Circle”, secretly preparing revenge in the Civil War, laid a paw on him. Some even say that the treasure is hidden at the bottom of the lake. Dozens of treasure hunters are still looking for him, but none of them can get to the bottom of the truth or money.

Voynich manuscript

The mysterious book, known as the “Voynich manuscript”, is named after the American second-hand book dealer of Polish origin Wilfred Voynich, who bought it from an unknown person in 1912. In 1915, taking a closer look at the find, he told the whole world about it - and since then many have not known peace. According to scientists, the manuscript was written in the XV-XVI centuries in central Europe. The book has a lot of text written in a fine handwriting, hundreds of drawings depicting plants, most of which are unknown to modern science. Here are signs of the zodiac, medicinal herbs, accompanied by text, apparently, recipes for their use. However, the content of the text is only the speculation of scientists who have not been able to understand it. The reason is simple: the book is written in a language still unknown on Earth, which is also practically undecipherable. Who wrote the Voynich manuscript and why, we may not know even through the centuries.

Karst wells in Yamal

In July 2014, an inexplicable explosion was heard on Yamal, as a result of which a huge well appeared in the ground, the width and height of which reached 40 meters! Yamal is not the most populated place on the planet, so no one was hurt from the explosion and the appearance of failure. However, such a strange and potentially dangerous phenomenon required explanation, and a scientific expedition set off for Yamal. It included everyone who could be useful for studying a strange phenomenon, from geographers to experienced mountain climbers. Nevertheless, having arrived, they still failed to figure out the reasons and nature of the incident. Not only that - while the expedition was working, two more similar failures appeared on the Yamal in exactly the same way! Until now, scientists have managed to express only one version - about periodic explosions of natural gas coming to the surface from under the ground. However, experts consider it unconvincing. Yamal failures remain a mystery.

Antikythera mechanism

Discovered by treasure seekers on a sunken ancient Greek ship in the early twentieth century, this device, which at first seemed like another artifact, turned out to be, no less, the first analog computer in history! A complex system of bronze discs, made with precision and accuracy, unthinkable in those days, made it possible to calculate the position of stars and stars in the sky, the time in accordance with different calendars and the dates of the Olympic Games. According to the analysis, the device was manufactured at the turn of the millennium - about a century before the birth of Christ, 1600 years before the discoveries of Galileo and 1700 before the birth of Isaac Newton. This device has overtaken its time by more than a thousand years and still amazes scientists.

Sea people

The Bronze Age, which lasted from approximately XXXV to the X century BC, was the heyday of several European and Middle Eastern civilizations at once - Greek, Cretan, and Hanan. People developed metallurgy, created impressive architectural monuments, and tools were complicated. It seemed that mankind was moving by leaps and bounds to prosperity. But everything collapsed in a few years. The civilized peoples of Europe and Asia were attacked by a horde of "people of the sea" - barbarians on countless ships. They burned and smashed cities and villages, burned food, killed and took people into slavery. After their invasion, ruins remained everywhere. Civilization was discarded at least a thousand years ago. In the once powerful and educated countries, writing disappeared, many secrets of building and working with metals were lost. The most mysterious is that after the invasion the “sea people” disappeared as mysteriously as they appeared. Scientists are still wondering who and where this people were from and what their future fate was. But there is no intelligible answer to this question yet.

The Murder of the Black Dahlia

Books and films were written about this legendary murder, but it was not possible to solve it. On January 15, 1947, 22-year-old aspiring actress Elizabeth Short was found brutally murdered in Los Angeles. Her naked body was brutally mocked: it was almost cut in half and bore traces of many injuries. In this case, the body was completely washed and completely devoid of blood. This story of one of the oldest unsolved murders was widely circulated by journalists, giving Short the nickname "Black Dahlia." Despite an active search, the police could not find the killer. The Black Dahlia case is considered one of the oldest unsolved murders in Los Angeles.

Motor ship Ourang Medan

At the beginning of 1948, the Dutch vessel Ourang Medan sent an SOS signal while in the Strait of Mallaki, off the coast of Sumatra and Malaysia. According to eyewitnesses, the radio message said that the captain and the whole team were dead, and it ended with chilling words: "And I am dying." The captain of the vessel "Silver Star", having heard a distress signal, went on searches of "Ourang Medan". Having discovered the ship in the Strait of Malacca, sailors from Silver Star boarded the ship and saw that it was indeed full of corpses, and the cause of death was not visible on the bodies. Soon, the rescuers noticed suspicious smoke coming from the hold and, just in case, chose to return to their ship. And they did it right, because soon the Ourang Medan exploded spontaneously and sank. Of course, because of this, the possibility of an investigation has become zero. Why the crew died and the ship exploded is still a mystery.

Baghdad battery

Until recently, it was believed that humanity mastered the receipt and use of electric current only at the end of the XVIII century. However, an artifact found by archaeologists in the region of ancient Mesopotamia in 1936 casts doubt on this conclusion. The device consists of a clay pot, in which the battery itself is hidden: an iron core wrapped in copper, which is believed to be filled with any acid, and then began to generate electricity. For many years, archaeologists have debated whether the instruments really related to the generation of electricity. In the end, they collected the same primitive products - and managed to get an electric current with their help! So, were they really able to arrange electric lighting in ancient Mesopotamia? Since the written sources of that era were not preserved, this riddle will now probably forever haunt scientists.

Baghdad battery

As soon as a person doesn’t dignify himself? And the king of nature, and the crown of creation, and homo sapiens. But is this really so? Both on planet Earth and in Cosmos, there are many unexplored secrets and mysteries. Man cannot solve the secrets of nature, the mysteries of ancient civilizations, comprehend inexplicable and mystical phenomena. And so I want to know everything!

Doubles - a truly amazing phenomenon, especially when you consider that there are doubles not only in the flesh, but also ghostly. And sometimes they arise not only spontaneously, but also deliberately, by someone’s will, and then the borders of the meteorous ghost and creature literally disappear in the flesh.

Each of us at least once! I heard about monsters that live in the depths of some bodies of water. The most famous of them, of course, is a mysterious animal from the Scottish lake Loch Ness. But there are also mysterious underwater creatures, meetings with which do not promise anything good. Some consider them relic dinosaurs or fish, preserved from ancient times, others - a game of imagination or a consequence of natural anomalies. But what exactly are these monsters?

In the pages of Slavic epics and traditions, besides gods and heroes, dozens of amazing creatures freely walk around, no less interesting. It’s only that we know much less about them.

Probably, many have heard of the miraculous crying and bleeding icons. There are many legends about their miraculous acquisition and renewal. But there are icons that have very strange properties. Sometimes this is the work of human hands, and sometimes explaining the “anomaly” is very difficult.

Kiev Pechersk Lavra is one of the oldest monasteries in the world. For centuries, legends have been made about him. But the most mysterious of them is about the damned treasure of the black prince Mafava, who to this day haunts the treasure hunters.

At all times in Russia, people treated icons with reverence. In almost every house, holy images hung in the most honorable place - in the red corner. In trouble and illness they turned to them for help. There are many cases where icons helped to overcome adversity. However, while studying the healing power of icons, scientists found that the effects of some of them could be ... dangerous to humans.

Even those who do not particularly like forest walks know that the swamp is a pernicious place.
True, this does not bother mushroom pickers and hunters. After all, it is in the marshy area that there are many berries and mushrooms, and hunting there brings rich trophies. Tikhvin swamps on the Veps Upland, north of St. Petersburg, are especially notorious.

We live in an era when everything that seems strange at first glance can be easily explained. Many diseases have become curable, history has already been studied in general, and technological progress is growing rapidly. But still there are some bizarre moments that are still worth considering.

But still, there are many secrets and mysteries that can not be solved by a person. Many books have been written about these phenomena, fierce debates of scientists and research are being conducted, but the truth is still lurking somewhere in the shadows. And their explanation can scare in earnest!

In this collection, you will learn about the 25 greatest unsolved secrets that excite humanity throughout its history.

Taos noise

In the small city of Taos, New Mexico, a certain rumble often arises, often heard on the horizon, which can be compared to the sound of a distant diesel engine. Although the human ear can hear it, various sound detection devices are not able to recognize it. This is known from studies of Taos noise, and to this day no one still knows how this sound is created.

Voynich manuscript

The Voynich manuscript was written in a language that researchers have tried to decipher for centuries, but it was all in vain. The only thing that can be recognized is the drawings found on some pages.

Jack the ripper

The name Jack the Ripper is mentioned in many shows and films, referring to the serial killer who killed 11 women in the East End of London in the late 1800s, but was never found. Most of his victims were prostitutes whose bodies were mutilated beyond recognition and their throats were cut. Until now, absolutely nothing is known about this man; he seemed to dissolve and disappear as unexpectedly as he appeared. Nevertheless, his story excites the mind of mankind to this day.

Bermuda Triangle

Known as the Bermuda Triangle, this legendary ocean space can be found between the points of Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Pilots often talk about their malfunctioning devices and the numerous ships that were lost at sea. With explanations and clues to the secrets of the Bermuda Triangle, ranging from gas bubbles to aliens, no one is sure what is actually behind such strange phenomena.

Cryptos

Near the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, you can contemplate a statue that encoded encryption on its surface. This charming sculpture was created by Jim Sanborn to show that everything can be solved and decrypted using ciphers. Of the four parts of the inscription on the sculpture, only the first three were deciphered. But even the brilliant minds in the CIA could not get to the bottom of the fourth part.

Shepherd Monument

In Staffordshire, England, there is a sculpture that struck the wit and intelligence of many intellectuals in an attempt to decipher the inscription on the Shepherd’s monument - DOUOSVAVVM. Although the Monument was built in the 18th century, the inscriptions found here were never deciphered, even 250 years after it was finished.

Tamam Shoud

In December 1948, an unidentified man was found dead on Somerton Beach, located in Adelaide, Australia. In one of his pockets they found a piece of paper with the words “Tamam Shud”. The words were translated as “finished,” or “finished,” based on excerpts found in the works of Rubai by Omar Khayyam. Although governments around the world tried to identify the person, his identity remained a mystery.

Zodiac letters

During the 1960s and 1970s, a criminal was identified in the San Francisco Bay Area who was identified as the Zodiac killer because of his stunning letters he sent to the police and the press. Although one of these four letters was decrypted and contained a very disturbing message, the other three have never been decrypted, so far.

Tablets of Georgia

Also identified as the American version of Stonehenge, the Georgia Tablets are located in Albert County. The stone blocks are covered in mystery, although they were only installed in 1979. The 10 “New Commandments” written on the walls are translated into English, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Spanish, although no one is sure why or for whom they were intended.

Rongo rongo

On the mysterious Easter Island, where the statues of Moai stand, a series of glyphs called Rongo-Rongo were discovered. These glyphs have never been deciphered, although they may contain clues regarding the huge heads found scattered around the island. Be that as it may, these places are shrouded in mystery, which they have been trying to solve for decades.

Loch Ness monster

For ages, people have heard tales of the Loch Ness Monster, confusing even advanced scientists. There have been many observations over the years and photos, and the video of the actual video has been checked and revised again and again. People tried to understand if it could be a sea snake, or a descendant of dinosaurs. Even today, some argue that the Loch Ness monster still exists and swims under the waters of Loch Ness.

Yeti

Also known as Bigfoot, Bigfoot is supposedly a creature that lives in the snowy mountainous regions of the United States and Canada. The mysterious creature can be identified as a gorilla, but its gait is more like a human gait.

The murder of Black Dahlia

22-year-old Elizabeth Short was very active and successfully advancing in show business at the time the murder of Black Dahlia happened (that was her nickname). However, no one ever learned anything about the murder and its causes. There are still many rumors, but the truth has not been revealed.

Stonehenge

While Stonehenge is a very exciting structure due to the large blocks of stones that stand on top of each other, the biggest secret is not how the structure was created, but why it was created.

Shroud of Turin

Atlantis

The city of Atlantis was considered the abode and capital of Neptune, where mermaids and aquatic lived. About Atlantis became known thanks to the records of Plato, who heard a conversation about a mysterious continent during his travels. Now that Atlantis is deep under water, many are still wondering if it really existed, knowing that there are certain objects under water that may be the remains of this once beautiful city.

Extraterrestrial Mind

From secrets found on Easter Island to the Bermuda Triangle, and even with the Roswell Incident during World War II, people have always thought that we are not alone in the universe. Some claim that they were abducted by aliens, while others believe that this is all nonsense. But there is still no consensus on this issue.

Floating feet beach

It is very common for people to rinse their feet in the sea on the beaches, but for one beach in British Columbia, the appearance of floating legs in the water, separated from the body, has become commonplace. The dismembered legs have been washed ashore over the past few years, which has given rise to numerous theories, among which no real ones have been discovered.

Signal Wow

When Jerry R. Ehman was working on the SETI Project at Perkins Observatory, Ohio, he did not expect to be able to receive the radio frequency supposedly coming from outer space. He was able to receive a 72-second signal from the constellation Sagittarius, which was no longer repeated. To this day, no one is sure of the origin of the signal. The signal got its name Wow (“wow!”) Because that is how Jerry wrote on the edge of the printout.

D.B. Cooper

When the criminal who called himself DB Cooper, hijacked a Boeing 727 along with $ 200,000, he jumped out of a plane with a parachute. He was never found, and this remains the only unsolved case in American aviation history.

Lal Bahadur Shastri

He died an inexplicable death, while being absolutely healthy. Many claimed he died of a heart attack, but the doctors and other specialists who tested him, including his wife, confirmed that he was fine. His wife also made a statement that he was poisoned by signing the Tashkent Treaty. This has never been proven since there was no posthumous diagnosis.

Nazca geoglyphs

The Nazca civilization has created some of the most spectacular geoglyphs on the face of the Earth. They include everything from spiders, monkeys, sharks, killer whales and flowers, the accuracy of which is simply unbelievable, given that Nazca had no way to explore their work from above. Nazca geoglyphs are still one of the most mysterious places on Earth, reports Lifeglobe.

Orang medan

What happened to the Orang Medan cargo ship, or “The Man from Medan” in Malaysia, is perhaps one of the most fascinating and stunning secrets that have ever existed in seafaring history. It all started with a SOS message in 1947, which reported that the captain, along with the rest of the crew, was dead. Worse, even the telegrapher died while transmitting a message. When the Silver Star was able to receive a distress signal and went to inspect the ship, they confirmed the deaths of everyone on board. Variants of ghosts, hazardous chemicals, and even aliens arose, but there is still no conclusion as to what actually happened to the ghost ship.

Ayuda aluminum wedge

In 1974, a group of workers in Romania discovered three different objects in a sand trench 10 meters deep. Two of them were prehistoric bones of an elephant, which were dated to a period of 2.5 million years ago. The third object, however, was an aluminum wedge, which was found along with ancient bones. This discovery stunned most researchers, as aluminum was difficult to create even by 19th-century standards. While some consider this evidence of aliens, others call the aluminum wedge a hoax. No matter what it is, there is no definite evidence yet.

Poltergeist mackenzie

The Greyfriars Cemetery in Edinburgh is famous for the poltergeist Mackenzie, one of the most documented poltergeists in the world. Tours are led here, calling them a tour to the world of the dead. The atmosphere of the Black Mausoleum, where Sir George Mackenzie lies, is especially scary. Is all this just a show? Perhaps, but there is only one way to find out about this - to go here on your own and explore everything.

The miracle happened, despite the fact that the body of a woman who called herself the Russian Princess Anastasia was cremated according to her will. Researcher James Lowell, already known to us, made a stunning statement: he discovered Anna Anderson's body tissue preserved by medical means! Lowell's statement produced a real storm among both the “Anastasians” and the “Anti-Anastasians”. A key appeared, with the help of which, in the end, one could get closer to the truth ... Where was the research done? Of course, where the bone remains of the Russian imperial family were determined. And here is the conclusion ...

In the myths and traditions of the peoples from time immemorial inhabited Kamchatka, one can often find references to a certain valley in which all living things die - the real Death Valley. True, according to the hunters, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Geysernaya River there really is a place where for some reason animals instantly die. Hunters found this site, all covered with corpses of animals, by chance ... Having run up a bit later, hunters with amazement saw the valley. Not far from them lay a dead hare, next to them were dead huskies, in the valley there were many other dead animals: wolverines, bears, birds, foxes and field mice ...

Overcoming the almost unbearable pressure of water at 235 meters depth, reaching 23 atmospheres, John Rosier, a 27-year-old diver, was the first to approach the Edinburgh hull. Gathered, Rosier forced himself to take the first step. He did not know how much time had passed - it seemed to him for ages, when suddenly a hand touched the sharp corner of a metal box. Its walls were so corroded by sea water that the diver with ease, like through paper, put his fingers inside the box. No, in it lay not shells, but massive rectangular bars. For a moment, the joy of the find made Rosier forget about everything except the heavy bars of gold ...

The president got up, dressed hastily, and, taking a candle, went down from his bedroom, located on the second floor.
