Many scientists have been trying to unravel the mysteries of the past for decades, putting pieces of the puzzle together. But there are artifacts and historical moments that are still shrouded in mystery.
1. Nazca geoglyphs
Geoglyph is a drawing on the surface of the Earth. In Nazca, similar images are made in the form geometric shapes or animals. It looks like they were carved on a hard surface.
To a person on the ground, they appear to be a plexus of lines. yellow color. Only once in the air can you see full-fledged figures: fifty-meter monkeys and spiders, condors 120 meters wide, or lizards one and a half times longer.
No one can say exactly how old the geoglyphs are. They can only be dated approximately. It has been proven that all this was created in different times. The first of them appeared in the 6th century. BC e. And the last ones - in the 1st century AD. e.
2. Mummies from the swamps of Europe
Back in the 17th century, it was mentioned that human mummies were found in the peat bogs of Denmark, Germany, Ireland and neighboring countries, which were perfectly preserved. Some are even worthy of display in museums.
Each body found was carefully studied by many specialists. All of them showed signs of violent death: a cut throat, damaged areas from strangulation and blows, broken main bones, a pierced head. Sometimes all at once.
For example, the “man from Lindow” lost his life due to an ax in his skull. The "Boathouse Woman" died because of the letter V, which was found deep in the back of her head. The “Kayhausen teenager,” who was no more than 15 years old, was found tied up so tightly that he could not even move.
Until now, many experts argue about what exactly it was: execution or sacrifice. After all, each of those found was dealt with cruelly.
3. Easter Island Statues
It is known that graceful stone creatures are the remains ancient civilization. They are noticeably different from those seen in other parts of the Pacific Ocean. 
The structures were first noticed by the Dutch traveler Jacob Roggeveen, who ended up on the island on Easter Day.
In 1955, Thor Heyerdahl, with the help of local residents, was able to erect one such statue vertically in two weeks. Using beams, they lifted the block several meters and placed large stones under it. This was repeated until the sculpture was in the desired position. But how exactly the hats weighing several tons ended up on their heads is not yet known.
4. Pope Joan
Medieval biographers report that Pope Ionna was born in 882. Since childhood, she loved to study and adolescence went to Athens to obtain the necessary knowledge. At that time, any education related to religion was unavailable to the fair half. Therefore, she decided to impersonate the young man John the Englishman. 
When the girl ended up in Rome, she was noticed due to her learning, beauty and piety. After some time, she managed to become a cardinal. And after Pope Leo IV was appointed successor. From the outside, no one had any idea about the trick. But during the next festive procession, Joanna suddenly gave birth to a child right in front of everyone. Soon she died.
After this, starting from 1000 and for five centuries, a mandatory ceremony was carried out, during which the gender of the chosen one for the throne was checked.
This story was considered authentic back in the 13th century. Already in the 15th century they decided to challenge it. In the 16th century, historians had little doubt that this was all fiction. It was believed that the legend appeared as a result of someone's joke, when women dominated the Pope's court - 920-965.
Similar phenomena were noted at the end of the 16th century, when Alexander VI Borgia appointed his mistress as a “medieval accountant”. At the same time, her brother, at the age of 25, without having the corresponding rank, became cardinal-treasurer and bishop of three dioceses. After that, he took the throne under the name Paul III.
It is also known that during the military campaign of Alexander VI, by his own appointment, his youngest daughter was on the throne.
5. Tomb of Genghis Khan
Until now, the best minds in the world have not been able to figure out where exactly the grave is located. famous Genghis Khan. This place attracts many. It is of unique historical value. In addition, according to legend, incredible wealth is hidden in the ground along with the deceased. According to some estimates, the grave can be found precious stones, weapons and gold worth two billion dollars.
After his death, Genghis Khan's body was returned to his place of birth. Now this is Khentii aimak. It is assumed that the great military leader is buried next to the Onon River. Along the way, everyone who met the funeral escort was killed. The slaves who performed the burial were slaughtered. And then the executioners who carried out the execution also died.
There are several legends that explain why searchers fail to find the grave. According to one of them, Genghis Khan’s followers laid a riverbed directly above the burial. On the other hand, a thousand horses were driven across the dug up ground, and then trees were planted on top.
6. Origin of the Basques
The Basques are considered one of the most incredible historical mysteries. At one time they occupied a small part of modern Spain and France. The first thing that is noted is that this people had a unique language that did not overlap with others present in neighboring regions. Genetics were also able to establish that these are people who had the highest percentage of Rh factor in their blood - 25. The difference between these people and others living in the neighborhood stands out noticeably. 
Most scientists believe that the Basques can safely be called the indigenous inhabitants of Europe. They came from the Cro-Magnons, who appeared in these places 35 thousand years ago. Presumably, these people decided not to change their location anymore, since no evidence could be found to refute this until the arrival of the Romans.
7. Time Travelers
Scientists in Lately More and more people are confident that time travel is possible. And numerous facts serve as proof.
For example, this photo shows the opening of the South Fork Bridge in British Columbia, which occurred in 1941. In the frame you can see a person who clearly stands out from the rest.
He has short hair, dark glasses, a sweater over a T-shirt, and is holding a modern camera.
This image can often be seen these days. But for the 40s it seemed strange. Experts conducted their own investigation, during which they managed to find the person who participated in those events. But, unfortunately, he did not remember the “strange” stranger.
The authenticity of the photo has been proven several times using various analyses.
8. Ancient Swiss watches
This small object was found in a Ming Dynasty burial site. The tomb was opened in 2008 during the filming of a documentary. To the surprise of the operator and archaeologists, a Swiss watch was found inside.
The former head of the Guangxi Museum, who then took part in the expedition, shared: “We were removing soil from the surface of the lid when suddenly a small piece of rock bounced off and fell to the floor with a metallic sound. The object looked like a ring. But when we cleaned it of dust, we discovered a miniature dial.” 
At the same time, we were even able to see the Swiss inscription inside. The Ming Dynasty ruled China until 1644. At that time, they had no idea that such technologies would ever become a reality. At the same time, experts claim that this tomb has been closed for the last 400 years and no one has ever been in it.
9. Ancient computer
In Kamchatka, several hundred kilometers from settlement Tigil St. Petersburg University of Archeology found unexplained fossilized remains. 
According to the head of the excavations, this discovery surprised scientists, but could completely change history. Special analysis showed that these were originally metal parts that form a mechanism that is not yet understood. The most amazing thing is that the find dates back 400 million years.
10. Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript is a mysterious book from the 15th century that no one has been able to decipher until now. It was written between 1404 and 1438 by an unknown author. In addition, the words inside have still not been translated. They are made up of a strange alphabet, which no one knows about either.
Book size: 23.5x16.2x5 cm. It contains about 240 pages. The manuscript has been repeatedly studied by many cryptographers, archaeologists and historians. No one could even come one step closer to deciphering even a single word. 
After futile attempts, some experts came to the conclusion that the pages contained random characters that were in no way related to each other. Others adhere to the theory that the paper contains not only information telling in detail about that time, but also data about the future.
11. Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper is a serial killer (or killers) who committed several high-profile crimes in London in 1888. All his victims are girls of easy virtue from the poorest neighborhoods. The maniac cut their throats, after which he opened the abdominal cavity. He took some organs. It is believed that the killer had good knowledge of anatomy. 
Only recently, a collector who purchased a shawl allegedly belonging to one of the victims handed it over to specialists. Using careful testing, they isolated the DNA of the alleged maniac. It turned out to be Pole Aaron Kosminsky, who came to England to work as a hairdresser. Despite this, many have criticized this method, since it does not definitively prove the emigrant's involvement in the murders.
12. Crystal Skulls
Many experts are already trying to solve the mystery of the origin of crystal skulls. for a long time. No one yet knows who could have created them and how? 
Scientists talk about 13 heads from rock crystal. All of them are kept in museums or private collections. Artifacts have been found in Tibet and Central America. Exact time Their production has not yet been established. In addition, the tools with which this can be done are not known.
13. Ancient aircraft
The Incas, Aztecs and other peoples living in pre-Columbian America are known not only for their amazing pyramids and strange rituals. They also left behind many small figurines. One of them turned out to be the so-called “ancient aircraft”, which resemble modern aircraft in similar elements. 
Initially, experts believed that these were simply figurines of insects or birds. However, it turned out that they have parts more similar to modern aircraft: stabilizers, landing gear, etc. Large aircraft could not be found from that time. What the ancient tribes wanted to show by this is not yet known.
14. Phaistos Disc
The Phaistos Disc is a small clay round tablet that was found in 1908 in the Minoan Palace in Italy. Her secret still remains unsolved. 
There are various unknown symbols on the plate. It is believed that this language was created in the 2nd century. BC. Some people think that the drawings resemble the hieroglyphs of Crete. However, they cannot find the decryption key. This disk is one of the most famous mysteries in archeology today.
15. The Taman Shud case
So far, the best inspectors have not been able to solve the Taman Shud case. It was also called "The Case of the Mysterious Man of Somerton."
The case was opened when the body of a man was found at half past seven in the morning in the city of Adelaide, Australia. He was on Somerton Beach. It was never possible to establish who the deceased was. Then experts found out that death occurred as a result of drug poisoning.
In addition, a piece of paper found in a secret trouser pocket caused a stir. There were only two words written on it - “Taman Shud”. These were words taken from a rare book by Omar Khayyam. 
The police managed to find the required copy, which was missing the last page. On the back were several words written in pencil, resembling a code. It was never possible to find out what exactly was written there.
To this day, this case remains one of the most confusing and mysterious.
There's so much in the world unsolved mysteries and secrets that even make you feel a little uneasy! These secrets higher worlds Someone is constantly trying to comprehend, but once again fails. Ciphers, encoded messages, mysterious signs in the margins, cryptograms, etc. - all this intrigues not only scientists, but also ordinary people. Each of us, at least once in our lives, thinks about one of the many mysteries of our universe. Or maybe someone else has yet to solve it?
Mysteries are all around us.
How many films have been made and books written about how to solve these mysteries, but all these films are just science fiction. In fact, neither the world-famous manuscripts nor the complex messages to descendants from their ancestors have ever been fully unraveled.
The Voynich Mystery
It was never possible to unravel the unknown language in which the manuscript was written. In 1912, Wilfrid Voynich, an antiquarian book dealer, acquired a very strange book. All of its 240 pages contained completely new letters and numbers (if they were these characters at all). In the book, except for the words incomprehensible language There were also diagrams and illustrations that demonstrated incomprehensible events, and also depicted unimaginable plants. Mystery? And what a one! It was not possible to determine who the author of the manuscript was. But scientists were able to determine the time period in which the book was created - 1404–1438.
The Voynich Mystery Manuscript No one has tried to decipher the handwritten manuscript, but all in vain. But it doesn’t look like the author of the text simply decided to make fun of his descendants and drew scribbles to mislead everyone. Today there are a large number of theories in which the great scientists of the world are trying to uncover the secret of the book. Some think that this is a manual on alchemy, others - a pharmacopoeia, and still others generally see the intervention of other worlds in the creation of the manuscript and assign the book the status of an extraterrestrial manuscript. But whoever the author of the manuscript was, he definitely did not spare his personal time, effort and money to create it!
Secrets of the higher worlds! Difficult to understand, encrypted and not completely solved, the riddle on the sculpture located near the CIA in the USA is the sensational Kryptos! The sculpture was created by master Sanborn, and the four encryptions on its surface have never been fully solved (despite this “neighborhood” with the CIA). Scientists managed to solve the first three riddles, but they are still struggling with the last one (despite the artist’s hints that the answer to it is encrypted in the first cipher). In 2010, the most persistent researchers were still able to unravel one word in the code - Berlin, but what other words are nearby is still unknown.
Finding Bale's Treasure
Thomas Bale in early XIX century was able to extract treasure during the development of gold deposits in Colorado. It is unknown what motivated this man, but the location of the real wealth from large quantity he decided to encrypt precious metals and stones. For this he used a set consisting of three encryptions. Of these, only the second was decoded, and the key to it was the Declaration of American Independence. This code indicated the area where the treasure is located, but the exact location of the cache is still unknown. Many seekers of adventures and mysterious treasures still hunt for untold wealth to this day.
How to find the Holy Grail?
In the UK there is the famous Shepherd Monument, created in the 18th century in Staffordshire. Many people think that this is a message from the ancients to our contemporaries regarding the place where the Holy Grail is kept. The letters of the code have a certain sequence, but no one can decipher it. The author of the code is unknown, and this is another mystery of the surrounding world. Scientists suggest that in this way the Templars encrypted the secret of finding the Grail. Many celebrities tried to decode this code, including Charles Dickens and Darwin.
Writing system or Rongorongo
Mysterious signs depicted on artifacts and called Rongorongo were found on Easter Island. Scientists believe that these may be writing systems invented by different branches of humanity. It has not yet been possible to decipher the secrets of the ancient words, but there is an opinion that the encryption contains some information about the civilization that built the statues on this island.
Message from Space
In 1977, as part of a program to search for signals from extraterrestrial intelligence, Jerry Eman recorded an incomprehensible signal, and it actually did not come from Earth. Human communication with an extraterrestrial civilization lasted only 72 seconds, which was supposedly located in the constellation Sagittarius, which is 120 light years away from our planet. On his transcript, the young man wrote the word “Wow” as an expression of delight at communicating with aliens. Perhaps the younger generation uses this word for a reason, but at the suggestion of other worlds!
Secrets of the Phaistos Disc
This is the most difficult riddle that Indiana Jones himself would be unable to solve if he existed in reality, and not just on the TV screen. The disk was found at the beginning of the last century by an archaeologist from Italy named Luigi Pernier. There are some strange symbols on this disc. Their similarity with the hieroglyphs of ancient Chinese can be seen written languages. Supposedly the secrets ancient world contained in this message, because it is at least three thousand years old, made in the second millennium BC. The Phaistos Disc is the most important of all archaeological mysteries.
Mysterious underwater world
The secrets of the underwater world are interesting to scientists and ordinary people on all continents. Learn about ancient civilizations that lived even before the Flood, reveal the secrets of Atlantis that went under the water and solve other most complex tasks related to Hydrocosmos - this is important for understanding our history. And if earlier they devoted a lot of time to studying the underwater world, now they have switched more to space exploration. But there are also many secrets in the depths that have not yet been comprehended!
Who are NZOs?
Unknown noises are recorded using modern acoustic devices (hydrophones). For the first time, they were used by American military services to track the movement of enemy submarines - the USSR. With the help of the devices it was possible to listen not only to the songs of whales, but also to something more interesting. The secrets of the underwater world were not completely revealed to scientists, but they concluded that in the ocean someone was sending targeted, conscious signals. received the name NZO - unidentified sound object. And who issues these signals has not been established to this day. Maybe these are messengers from the ancient world, aliens, sea monsters or someone else?
"Quakers" of the World Ocean
Great scientists tried to answer the question of who makes the interesting “kwa-kwa” sounds underwater. Maybe it's a huge sea frog? Doubtful! It all started with the interest of sailors who served on submarines in this phenomenon. Using hydroacoustic devices, they picked up strange signals and called them Quakers. This name is even mentioned in the official documentation.
The sound came from objects circling around the boats. This is exactly what was established thanks to direction finding. The strange creatures, which could not be detected, seemed to be trying to establish contact with the submarines, because they willingly responded to the signals of the submarine itself. And there was no aggression from the Quakers. The submarine was accompanied by the creatures to a specific area and then they left it, saying their usual “kwa-kwa” in parting. What it was is still a mystery. So far, scientists have stopped working on it (or are doing it unnoticed by large masses of people, so as not to spread panic), but the sounds have not disappeared and still bring fear to sailors.
This anomalous zone does not reveal one iota of the secrets of the underwater world, but only confuses researchers even more. Complex calculations, great research - but the mystery is still not solved. Since 1492, this place has been considered at least strange and frightening. The glow of water and sky, tongues of flame, frantic compass needle - all this is noted in the notes of Columbus’s own expedition. In 1840, the place located near Bermuda was given the informal name of the triangle. In this area, a self-moving ship was then found, which was completely without a crew. Where the crew and thousands of other people who disappeared in this area after the strange discovery went is unknown to modern science.
Not only ships have disappeared and are disappearing in this place, but also aircraft. Moreover, it has never been possible to find any debris or remains. But scientists studying the seabed in the Bermuda region came across a huge pyramid, several times larger than the famous pyramid of Cheops. The walls of this structure are absolutely smooth - there are no plaques, shells or algae on them, and they are made of a material that resembles glass ceramics. The secrets of the underwater world, even with this discovery, were not fully explored. The ocean is still a mystery to us today, one that interested ancient scientists and our contemporaries. Many studies of great scientists are classified. But sooner or later everything secret becomes clear, so let's wait!
Atlantis has disappeared from view
The world only learned thousands of years later that there was another continent. And searching and researching it will take the same amount of time. The secrets of the underwater world are revealed only to those who are persistent! Among representatives of the ancient world, Aristotle mentioned Atlantis. But words are words, but evidence of the existence of the continent in the form of the remains of civilization has not yet been found. They say that not all of the Atlanteans perished and founded their city in Tibet. And Mount Kailash is nothing more than one of the pyramids built by these giants. But where they lived before and what actually happened to their homeland is known only from myths. But to believe them or not is up to you to decide!
Secrets of the ancient world, depths of the sea, one generation to another - this has always aroused and continues to arouse interest among people. Great scientists have not yet been able to solve many mysteries. Maybe you will be the one to do this, write in the comments!
Our world is full of secrets and mysterious events. Some of them seemed mysterious and mystical just yesterday, but today their secrets have been unraveled by scientists. We invite you to find out the secrets of some mysterious objects and phenomena that for a long time defied scientific explanation.

1. Moving Stones of Death Valley
Rocks in Death ValleyDeath Valley- this is nothing more than the bottom of the dry lake Racetrack Playa in the USA. And it is famous for a very interesting phenomenon - its moving stones. It’s as if an unknown force moves these stones from place to place from time to time, leaving only small grooves in the dried mud. The sizes of stones can vary, from several kilograms to hundreds of kilograms ( maximum up to 300kg.) No one saw these stones in motion, but it was obvious that the stones moved without the help of people or animals.
This phenomenon has given rise to many speculations regarding its nature. Almost all explanations for the phenomenon of moving stones boiled down to the influence of supernatural forces.
Since the middle of the 20th century moving stones Representatives of science began to actively study. Many scientific explanations for this movement have been proposed, but most of them have not been supported by anything. Thus, the only correct answer to the question “ What or who sets these stones in motion? “The scientists didn’t have it.
Heavy stone in Death Valley The only more reasonable explanations were in which the stones could be driven by wind force at certain weather conditions, such as moisture on the surface of the earth. But it was difficult to imagine how the wind could move a 300-kilogram block.
In the 70s of the last century, a theory began to emerge according to which stones were driven by wind loads and helped to slide thin layer ice that could have formed from moisture during the rainy season. This theory was increasingly confirmed by scientific calculations and research.
In 2011, a group of young American researchers decided to study the moving stones in Death Valley, they installed a time-lapse camera, a weather station to measure wind gusts, and also installed GPS beacons by 15 various stones in Death Valley.
The most painful thing was the waiting. No one could know exactly when the stones would begin to move. It is known that stones can stand for years without moving. But they were lucky. In December 2013, the stones “floated” and their mystery was completely solved.
The reason for the movement of stones was heavy rain and snow, which left behind a 7-centimeter layer of water at the bottom of the lake. This water froze overnight into sheets of ice that, under the midday sun, broke up into large floating patches of ice.
In turn, the stones, drenched in rain, formed a small crust of ice on their surface overnight, which significantly reduced the coefficient of friction with the surface. Thus, ice floating on the surface, icy stones and light wind turned out to be those rare ideal conditions for the drift of stone blocks. The stones left trails in the mud beneath the icy surface. After a few months, these marks dried out, leaving only small grooves on the surface.
Incredible facts
These mysteries still raise questions among scientists and researchers.
1. Holes in the ground in Yamal in Siberia
In July 2015, a 100-meter sinkhole appeared on the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia. Although a team of researchers was sent there in November 2015, the cause remained unknown. Since then, two more craters have opened in the Tazovsky region and on the Taimyr Peninsula.
There is an assumption that the formation of holes in the ground is associated with a gas explosion or an eruption from within the permafrost.
2. Walrus at St Pancras Burying Ground
The walrus at St Pancras was discovered by archaeologists in old church St Pancras in 2003. The site was used for mass burial due to a series of epidemics in the early 19th century.
One of the graves contained the remains of eight people along with the bones of a Pacific walrus.
Scientists have never been able to find an explanation for how the walrus' remains got there.
3. D.B. Cooper
In 1971, a man known only by his first name, D.B. Cooper boarded a Boeing 727-100 at Portland International Airport. The flight, which took place on Thanksgiving Day, was headed to Seattle. During the flight, Cooper passed a note to the flight attendant and said he had a bomb, demanding $200,000 and four parachutes.
The flight was delayed two hours to give the FBI time to collect the ransom and parachutes.
The plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, and once all of Cooper's demands were met, the passengers were released, except for one flight attendant. Cooper ordered the pilots to take off again and head towards Mexico City. On the way, he jumped out and disappeared.
4. Max Headroom Invasion
During the broadcast of an episode of the television series Doctor Who, the signal from the television station was interrupted and a man wearing a Max Headroom mask appeared on the screen, making inarticulate sounds.
The reason for this and the identity of the masked man remains unknown, although there are several theories about it.
The broadcast blackout lasted just over 90 seconds and occurred on November 22, 1987, which some associate with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on the same day in 1963.
Earlier that day in 1987, the same man had silently interrupted a news program on another television channel.
5. Meat Rain in Kentucky
In the spring of 1876, pieces of meat fell from the sky within minutes in Bath County, Kentucky, and were reported in several major media outlets. According to some eyewitnesses of the event, the meat tasted like lamb.

He was known to call victims beforehand, and sometimes afterwards, to abuse them.
The perpetrator of these crimes is believed to still be alive, and the FBI recently launched a campaign in hopes of finding the man who managed to evade justice for so long.
9. Rumble
We truly appreciate silence when it disappears, especially if it concerns some incomprehensible sounds.
A hum is a constant, low-frequency noise that people have heard in different parts light from the UK to New Zealand. However, the source of the sound cannot be explained.

13. Silent Twins
Twins June and Jennifer Gibbons were born in Wales in the 60s and did not interact with other people, speaking only to each other and sometimes in a way that was incomprehensible to everyone else.
The story got even stranger when the twins grew up and were admitted to a mental hospital. They had an agreement that if one of them died, the other should start talking to other people. Jennifer died suddenly a short time later from acute myocarditis, but doctors could find no evidence of poison or drugs in her system, and her death remains a mystery.
After June's death, as agreed, she began to communicate with others.
14. Tunguska meteorite
On June 30, 1908, a major explosion occurred in the Podkamennaya Tunguska region. The nearest city was 60 km away, but still felt the effects. The explosion produced 85 times more energy than atomic bomb, dropped on Hiroshima, and leveled about 80 million trees.
Although the destruction is believed to have been the result of a meteorite, no impact crater was found, prompting many hypotheses.
15. Cicada 3301

The Taman Shud case involves the discovery of a dead man on the Australian coast. He did not have a passport and his identity could not be established. An autopsy showed that he was poisoned, but there were no traces of poison.
The case became even more confusing when an expert examined the man's body 4 months after his death. In his pocket he found a small piece of paper with the inscription "Taman Shud".
These were the last words in the collection of poems "Rubaiyat" by Omar Khayyam, which translates as "completed." A piece of paper was torn from a book that was in a car near the beach. The book contained the nurse's phone numbers and a coded message that the police were unable to decipher.
The nurse reported that she gave the book to a man named Albert Boxall. However, after some time, Boxall appeared alive, and he had the same book with the last words.
19. Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
One of the unsolved mysteries remains Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8, 2014. There were 277 passengers and 12 crew members on board the international flight from Malaysia to Beijing. The last contact with ground services took place less than an hour after takeoff, and the plane itself disappeared from radar screens a few minutes later.
Military radar tracked the plane for an hour after the incident, watching it veer off course until it disappeared into the Andaman Sea.
There were no distress calls, warnings of bad weather conditions, or reports of technical problems. The plane is believed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, but the wreckage has never been found. Theories regarding the disappearance range from black holes to alien abduction.
