Five Unsolved Mysteries of Ancient China that are being glossed over
Perhaps the most mysterious legacy of past civilizations on Earth is rightfully considered to be the pyramids, which can be found in different parts of the world. In one of my videos, I already told you about many questions that the pyramids of Egypt pose to specialists, but at least as many questions are raised by the pyramids built in China. While the Egyptian pyramids are more or less accessible for research, the Chinese ones remain closed to the general public to this day.

THREE REAL-LIFE MYSTICAL HORROR STORIES THAT HAPPENED IN THE WOODS.
**This happened about two years ago in the spring when it had already warmed up. We got tired of sitting in the parking lot and drinking beer, so we decided to gather and go somewhere. We thought about the place for quite a long time, about two weeks, but we finally decided. There was a suggestion to go to Lytkarina, to the Brides' Glade, a rather notorious place where people often die in car accidents. But back then, it hadn't yet become so heavily rumored, so we had no fears in mind. The long-awaited day came, and we set off around 2:00 pm. The road didn't please us at all; there were monuments almost every 10 meters, and everywhere were signs indicating a dangerous road section. We turned off the highway and found a nice clearing right in the middle of the forest. We spread out, and everything was more or less normal: guitar, alcohol, fun. When it got dark, we were still having fun. We didn't even notice how the fog surrounded us and decided to take a walk to the Brides' Glade.**

That's Why People Don't Fly to the Moon! What Astronauts and Scientists Are Silent About
The public has yet to receive clear explanations as to why people stopped flying to the Moon. The lunar programs developed by both the Americans and the Soviet Union were closed in the early 1970s. While the Soviet Union, after the successful flight of the American spacecraft Apollo 11 to the Moon, simply admitted its defeat in this critical race, the Americans unexpectedly and sharply abandoned further flights, brushing off questions with a rather primitive response, claiming they saw no significant scientific value in Moon missions to justify the enormous budget expenditure. But then why do people not even plan to go to the Moon now? After all, technology has advanced so much that Elon Musk, with his MCT program, plans a manned mission to Mars with a surface landing as early as 2025.

Three Times When Humanity Could Disappear
Ancient civilizations and prophets from around the world have consistently predicted the demise of humanity and the Earth. The calendar of the Maya, the ancient civilization of America, ended on December 21, 2012. At that time, the whole world awaited the end of the world, but it did not happen. However, the prophecies of the famous French soothsayer Michel Nostradamus are detailed until the year 3797. Does this mean that life on Earth will end then, and should we believe such predictions at all? Incidentally, the death of our planet will occur when the Sun goes out, plunging the world into darkness, but this will not happen for at least another billion years. Some even believe in the possibility of black holes forming in the Large Hadron Collider, but that is beyond the realm of fantasy. What catastrophes have threatened and could threaten humanity in the future?

The process of demilitarization of Japan after World War II.
The primary factor influencing Japan's disarmament process should be recognized as the geographical difficulties faced by the authorities responsible for the disarmament. This refers to the placement of equipment and weaponry, as Japan was well-prepared to defend its main islands and had preemptively constructed makeshift fortresses equipped with brigades. Strategically important positions, such as the peninsula forming Tokyo Bay, the coastline of Fukuoka (northwestern Japan), and many other positions, were fortified with heavy artillery. In general, significant stocks of military equipment and other assets were dispersed throughout Japan, in thousands of hidden caches located deep in the mountains, in underground tunnels, and camouflaged warehouses, as well as scattered across the extended Japanese landscape.

The Real North Pole: 5 Mythical Ancient Islands That Might Actually Exist
There are many stories of places that have been deemed mythological only for it later to be discovered that there is much more to these myths than was first thought. Vitra Manand, also variously known as Great Ireland or White Man's Land, is one such place. Amongst the most significant and influential of ancient Norse texts are The Saga of Eric the Red and The Saga of the Greenlanders. These sagas allude to the island of Vitra Manand, described as being six days sailing west of Ireland or alternatively somewhere near Vinland, the name once given to the coastal area of eastern North America. In The Saga of Eric the Red, the native people of Vitra Manand were described as always being dressed in white and that they, quote, "uttered loud cries, bore long poles, and wore fringes." Another source mentions albinism in the population with, quote, "hair and skin as white as snow." Jedis Mercader, the flist geographer and cartographer who created one of the first world maps, also mentioned a similar land in a 1577 letter to John Dee, the English academic and occultist. In the letter to Dee, Mercader mentions that in the 14th century a group of eight men had come to Norway from a distant land, claiming to have been part of an expedition sent by the legendary King Arthur of Britain and that they were, in fact, his fifth-generation descendants. The true location of the legendary Vitra Manand is a subject of scholarly debate, with several theories proposing locations along the Eastern Seaboard of North America. Carl Christian Raen suggests the Chesapeake Bay area, referencing legends of white men with iron instruments. However, historian Farley Moat offers a more detailed theory, placing the land on Newfoundland's western shore. According to Moat, European settlers from the Northern British Isles, referred to as Alans, reached Iceland, Greenland, and North America before the Vikings. These Albans, thought to be the original Neolithic inhabitants of Britain, were displaced by the Celts and pushed to Europe's northwestern fringes. Moat asserts they were skilled walrus ivory hunters, which led them to discover and settle in Newfoundland due to its suitable land for farming and rich walrus population. Moat argues that the Albans' presence in Newfoundland predates the Vikings by centuries and that their settlements along the southwest coast influenced Viking exploration. The Vikings knew this area as Vitra Manand, and Moat speculates that voyages by figures like Leif Ericson were attempts to raid this land, which either failed or resulted in hostile encounters with the natives. The Albans are believed to have maintained connections to Europe into the early Middle Ages, but these links were severed by the 14th century as European pirates forced their migration inland, where they assimilated with other populations. Moat's theory is a fascinating possibility, placing the Albans and Vitra Manand at the heart of an untold chapter of pre-Columbian transatlantic contact and settlement in the New World.
