Five unsolved mysteries in the world.

1. MAN MADE PYRAMID UNDER THE ICE IN ANTARCTICA.

On the bottom of our planet lies the frigid land of Antarctica, the coldest and most inhospitable continent in the world. stretching over 5 million square miles. Antarctica is covered in ice sheets that are more than a mile deep. The average daily temperature is 49 degrees Fahrenheit, and wind speeds can reach over 100 miles per hour.

Today, the only inhabitants of this barren landscape are scientists who work in research stations scattered across the continent. Mainstream geologists have long believed that ancient humans never settled on Antarctica because of its hostile climate, but incredibly, in 2016, satellite images revealed a curious formation emerging from the ice that some researchers believe could be a man-made pyramid.

Recently, there have been a number of reports of huge pyramids in Antarctica. They jut out of the ice and snow, and they look perfect, just like those in Egypt, but they dwarf those in Egypt like the

The Great Pyramid one has a perfectly square base that is two kilometers square in each direction. Is it therefore possible to conclude that our ancestors did actually reach the Antarctic continent and perhaps even settle there?

If such an incredible motion is true, then it naturally begs some questions: how was such a massive structure built on Antarctica, when was it done, and by whom? Geologists say it has been under ice for millions of

however there is evidence that it could have been free advice certainly in certain areas until perhaps 4000 BC.There are a large number of stories from Polynesia of so-called culture Heroes who reached the Antarctic continent a French academic by the name of Argo put together all of these different stories in the book titled out of Antarctica. The Polynesian people's stories describe this strange land where these white rocks that came out of the water, which were icebergs, and other creatures such as

as seals and penguins, and seem to describe an area that we now

known as Antarctica. The Polynesian people believed this was the place of the ancestors, and they said this is where we came from.

Originally Why did they believe this if it was untrue? Is it really possible that the coldest place on Earth was once warm enough to be inhabited by humans? Well, in 2017, German geologists collected core samples from deep within the frozen Antarctic seafloor in order to analyze what the continent's climate might have been like thousands of years ago.

What they discovered was astonishing. In the case of that early expedition, they used a very special seafloor drill rig that hadn't been used before in Antarctica. When they used this special drill rig and the sediments came up, they saw more than 60

different taxa of plants similar to something that you would find

in a rainforest in a temperature regime that was similar to what we today know from Northern Italy and finding that on the Antarctic continent.

That was the most exciting thing because the climatic conditions today don't allow any vegetation to survive under those conditions.

So based on that location and the environment we found, I think that the

The Antarctic continent and the secrets that still need to be recovered will tell us a lot about planet Earth.

2.THE SPHINX

In Cairo, Egypt, on a plateau just a few miles west of the Nile River is the Giza Necropolis, perhaps the most famous collection of ruins in the entire world, believed to have been constructed during ancient Egypt's fourth dynasty around 2550 BC. These limestone monuments attract thousands of tourists every day who come to marvel at the immense pyramids, forbidding tombs, and a mysterious stone sphinx known as the Sphinx.

I think you can argue that the Sphinx is the most recognizable statue anywhere in the world. Its scale is immense; it's one single piece of stone cut from the natural rock of the Giza plateau. The Sphinx stands 240 feet long, 66 feet tall, and 62 feet wide.

For thousands of years, this massive statue has been an object of both fascination and wonder, but even after centuries of study, the Sphinx holds many secrets that archaeologists are still trying to uncover. o

Unravel.The Sphinx that we know today from the Great Pyramids of Giza is the most famous of all sphinxes, but there are sphinxes all over ancient Egypt there are smaller sphinxes there's an Avenue full of sphinxes between the temples but the Great Sphinx at Giza is

something very different. It's a single sculpture; it sits in a very particular place; it doesn't seem to have performed the same function at all; what was it for? This is what we really want to know; no one has understood exactly what it means because for literally thousands of years, the Sphinx was buried up to its neck in sand, so there's only a head sticking out of the sand. For much of its history, there is a very famous painting of Emperor Napoleon standing in front of the Sphinx, buried still at this point.

On its shoulders, you might wonder what Napoleon has to do with Egypt and the Sphinx. In fact, Napoleon led an invasion of Egypt in 1798, which had a big impact in Europe by raising awareness and interest in ancient Egyptian sites. It wasn't until the 1920s that a team of archaeologists led by engineer Emir Barrez succeeded in unearthing the Sphinx from the desert sands. They were able to expose it and reveal it for the

first time in centuries that this was not just a head of a disembodied head but a full Sphinx sculpture, and this is a watershed moment for us in understanding the Sphinx. Archaeologists and geologists believe that their Sphinx was sculpted around 2500 BC by King Catherine as a part of his funeral complex, but a lot of scholars disagree about these things, and there are a lot of mysteries surrounding when the Sphinx was actually sculpted. One of the most important documents we have to do with the dieting of the Sphinx is the inventory stealer. This is a commemorative stone that actually records details of how the

Pharaoh Khufu repaired the Sphinx after it was struck by lightning. The significance of this is that Kufu came before Cafe, the pharaoh who is conventionally said to have constructed the swings and inventory. tory Stella has an inscription that goes back to about 4600 years ago. That inscription says that the Sphinx is a much older structure that the Egyptians adopted, repaired, and venerated based on the inscriptions on the inventory. Still, there are some archaeologists who believe that the

The Sphinx is so ancient that it could predate any records in human history.

that are known to exist, and some researchers are convinced that physical evidence of the Sphinx's true age can be found on the structure itself.

3.CINCINNANTI OHIO.

Just outside the city are the normal Suburban Street in an ordinary neighborhood is the home of Greg and Dana Newkirk. From the outside, their home is not much different from any other house on the

block, but inside it contains something quite extraordinary because there is a room in the basement that is filled with a collection of strange objects sent by people from all over the world that are believed to be

Cursed .

Visitors to Kirk Newkirk's home are given ample warning that the basement is filled with objects that are cursed. They have a lot of haunted robes, but curiously, every day the new Kirks receive requests from people who are eager to view their cursed collection. You would think with cursed objects you would want to avoid them, but there are drawbacks.

to them. When an object is said to be cursed, another word you could use is special. It's special if this chair is cursed; it's different from every other chair in the world, and that makes it unique; that makes it interesting; that draws our attention every single time; and the fact that that

The specialness is that it hurts people, which appeals to a certain macabre streak that we all have as human beings. People think of cursed objects as being kind of fun and spooky, but working with them feels a lot less like that and a lot more like that kind of heavy responsibility to keep some of these objects with us under lock and key, maybe out of the wrong hands, and maybe in a place that's safer not only for everyone else but for them.

Kirk's collection includes several objects that are considered to have the

power to inflict harm on anyone who comes near them. is the cursed deer skull that I picked up from a woman who saw it in an antique store and took it back to her office. Almost all of her employees started getting sick. One employee was hit by one employee on the wall, and this was hanging on actually fell down and

took half of the building with it. In Kirk’s collection are a deadly ring that's claimed to kill anyone who wears it, a Bible used during a failed exorcism, and a doll that is believed to spread illness wherever it goes.

4.TALL EL-HAMMAM

In the lower Jordan River Valley, north of the Red Sea, a distinct ridge rises from the landscape, but this is no ordinary ridge because buried under layers of dirt and rock are the ruins of an ancient city that dates back almost 4000 years. Modern archaeologists have named the

Site Tall el-hammam When you look at Tall El-Hammam from satellite imagery, it's long and narrow; it's about a mile from end to end. It's believed that as many as 50 000 people occupied the city, according to

Experts . It is shrouded in mystery. We don't know what it was named in ancient times or who lived there, but in recent years, some archaeologists have theorized that Tall El-Hammam is actually the ruins of the biblical city of Sodom and Gomorrah. In Genesis, you have cities like Sodom and Gomorrah, and there's wickedness and inequity in the city, but then

God decides that this city is doing horrible things, so I'm

literally going to rain fire and sulfur down on this city.

God said enough is enough fire and burning. Stone came forth from the

heavens from Yahweh and consumed the city. In fact, the Bible says that every person, crop, tree, twig, or thing that was living was destroyed.

The Sodom and Gomorrah story is fascinating, and it's meant to be a

metaphor, an understanding of "Oh, do, when human beings don't do what they should do, here's what God does to destroy us; it's God's power being manifested; it's an act of God." God, But the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has long been associated with the wrath of God; until recently, many scholars thought that the story was only a myth. Some experts believe that Tall El-hammam is the remains of the city of

Sodom and Gommorah.

There is more geographical data in the biblical text for the location of Sodom than there is for any other biblical site. The Bible was very clear that it was north and east of the Dead Sea, and it was very clear that it was east of Jerusalem, and this matches the geographic location of the text, the time frame of the text, and all the possible descriptions of the text. The idea that Tall el-hammam matches the location of Sodom in the Bible is intriguing, and researchers also claim that there is physical evidence on site that confirms the biblical description of Sodom's destruction and that the actual destruction event is recorded.

in just two verses in Genesis chapter 19, verses 24 and 25.

Where it talks about the fact that rock and fire came down from the heavens and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, one theory

is that an incoming meteor or meteor fragment exploded over the North End of the Dead Sea and destroyed Tall el-Hammam There are numerous proxies that give a strong indication that an air burst or impact event has occurred. The first is the evidence of thermal damage that's represented by melted building materials and partially melted

Pottery fragments The second is the appearance and occurrence of microspherols, very-tiny spherical-shaped melted pieces of sandgrains, and the third is a high concentration of rare earths.

elements . Rare earth elements are very common in asteroids, but concentration is a problem. not so common on Earth.

What's interesting is that the middle layer of tall el-hammam has a really high salt concentration. It's so salty that a lot of times we excavate P, which is just coated with thick salt crystals. That's pretty unusual. Why is that layer so salty? Well, it's the same salt as that found in the Dead Sea.

probably because this airburst event pushed a massive amount of dirt

water and salt over the landscape If Tall El Hammam really was Sodom, could such an explosion be the reason?

Some experts believe the answer is yes, and they point to the biblical story for further evidence of the connection between the destruction of Sodom and salt.

The story of Sodom essentially picks up in Genesis 19, where you have these two angels that look like men who travel down to visit Lot, who's living down in Sodom, and Lot shows them tremendous hospitality.

God has decided to destroy the city because of its wickedness.

So the Angels grab Lot and his family, and as they're leaving Sodom, the Angels give them the command, don't even look back, and then you have this fascinating detail where it says that Lot's wife turned and looked back, and she turned into a pillar of salt. What could be the significance of Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt?

There's been a lot of talk about fire in Brimstone coming down from the heavens. This is one of these unexplained mysteries, and there have been a lot of theories. This probably has something to do with wanting evidence that proves faith.

A lot of people believe in these stories, and archeology can confirm them.

I think from the point of view of science, as we look at the biblical text and the statement that this was fire and burning stones from God out of the heavens, if such an event actually occurred, would it have left some

evidence around, well, of course, yes, that's all confirmed by the science.

and how science can't tell me one way or the other whether it's an act of God, but the event is confirmed.

5. Pompeii, Italy, 79 A.D.

At approximately 1 p.m. on a peaceful late summer day, this ancient Roman city in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius is shaken by a massive

Within minutes, superheated gas and lava engulfed the city and its surroundings in an inch to thousands of pounds of water, and they were buried alive as a city that was once their home suddenly became their tomb.

Nearly 2000 years after the eruption, Pompeii is a city that remains frozen in time. This eruption was what we call a "pyroclastic eruption," where clouds of ash and debris hundreds of degrees hot came flowing down the mountain, flashing everything in its path. Miraculously, the heat of this cloud was enough to carbonize and preserve rather than destroy all kinds of information. We have well-preserved architecture, wood, and organic materials for foodstuffs.

human remains and animal remains that have been preserved for two thousand years beneath this volcanic debris.

Today, the excavated ruins of Pompeii offer archaeologists and tourists a

breathtaking look at the doomed ancient city, perhaps the most intriguing discovery found beneath the ash from Mount Vesuvius's eruption

was an ancient Roman structure located not far from Pompeii known as “The Villa De Papyri.”

The De Papyri was a Roman luxury villa that was full of sculpture, marble, and bronze. The villa was discovered by chance in 1750 by

Welldiggers who tunneled about 75 feet through volcanic debris first hit a

colored marble floor with an amazing pattern made up of bright red and yellow marbles, and we think this was once the vacation home of a Roman senator of the highest rank of an old noble family named Lucius.

Calpurnia's Pizzo, the volcanic ash that buried Villa De Papyri, did not only preserve the physical structure; it also entombed a library that contained more than 1800 Papyryi scrolls. These scrolls are

record of the thoughts and writings of people who lived nearly 2000 years ago. Those texts were discovered when the city was excavated and some of the artifacts were first found The people who discovered them didn't know what they were they thought that maybe they were pieces of branches or logs because they were rolled up and

carbonized until someone finally realized these were texts from the Villa de Papiry Library. This library is very significant because it's the only surviving library from antiquity. In its contents, scrolls were found.

that date to the third, second, and first centuries BC in the first century A.D.

About 300 of them or so have been unscrolled, and they contain mostly

philosophic texts, some poetry, some literary criticism, and a little bit of history, but many of the scrolls are so tightly bound together and carbonized that there's been a moratorium on attempts to read them. Their fear of damaging the scrolls left many of them virtually untouched for over a hundred years.
