1. Zone of Silence—where radios don’t work, clocks are lost in time, and compasses spin out of control. But in addition to the above, there’s another interesting place, and it is located in present-day Mexico. Referred to as the zone of Silence or “Zona de Silencio,” this area of land located in northern Mexico is one of the most anomalous places on Earth. According to reports, nothing seems to properly function there, as scientists have failed to understand how clocks stop, radios go haywire, and the compass spins out of control.Located some 2,000 meters above sea level, the Zone of Silence is strangely located at the same parallel as the enigmatic Bermuda Triangle, and the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. 2. Göbekli Tepe, our planets OLDEST temple The oldest temple on the surface of our planet is located in modern-day Turkey and is referred to as Göbekli Tepe. This fascinating ancient structure is considered to be 6,500 years older than Stonehenge and around 7,000 years older than the oldest of the Pyramids—meaning that it was created around 12,000 years ago by a mysterious civilization. This ancient temple referred to as the Stonehenge of the desert, is an ancient encyclopedia written in stone. 10 Likes 2 Shares

3. Gravity Hills—A place where Gravity isn’t gravity. There are hundreds of so-called gravity hills around the globe. Due to their peculiar characteristic, they are also referred to as Magnetic Hills, Mystery Hills, and Anti-Gravity hills. It is said that objects and cars on the hill may appear to roll uphill, defying the laws of gravity. This, however, is just an optical illusion produced by the surrounding landscape which makes a downhill slope appear to be an uphill slope. Although not unexplainable, gravity hills are pretty cool, and I felt a need to include examples of the phenomenon in this list. 4. Eternal Flame Falls, New York—where fire defies water Located in the New York is a strange phenomenon that looks almost as if there’s a fire burning in the middle of a waterfall. This unusual waterfall is the product of mother nature, and scientists say that it’s perfectly explainable as there are small fissures in the rock which emit natural gas, causing to burn. At times the flame extinguishes and needs to be reignited. Legends say that whoever manages to reanimate the flame will be blessed with fortune. 4 Likes 2 Shares

5. Meet the enigmatic Castle Frangokastello—home of the only documented time mirage in the world. Built by the Venetians sometime between 1371 and 1374, the castle was constructed as a garrison to protect Venetian nobles and their land. Its builders named it Castle of St. Nikitas but locals contemptuously dubbed it Frangokastello, meaning the Castle of the Franks. On May 17, 1828, a famous battle took place at the castle when hundreds of Sfakiots and Epirotes commanded by Hatzimichalis Dalianis, a Greek patriot from Epirus occupied the fortification but were eventually besieged by the Turks. Later, the Turks were also killed and massacred by ambushes. The anniversary of the battle shows the shadows of the fallen soldiers march towards the fortress around dawn. Every year around May, the castle is home to a bewildering phenomenon where ‘shadows’ of armed soldiers march from the monastery of Agios Charalambos to the Castle. The phenomenon is observable—and was even documented—in the early hours when the sea is quiet, and humidity in the air is high. The event lasts for around 10 minutes. 6. For centuries has the Bermuda triangle created chaos among sailors, and pilots in recent decades. The area is known as the Bermuda Triangle, aka The Devil’s triangle, and it stretches some 700 kilometers from Florida, Puerto Rico to Bermuda. In the last 100 years alone has the enigmatic area has taken the life or around 1,000 people without explanation. The Bermuda triangle just happens to be one of the most transited areas on the planet, as it is an international “highway” for shipping lanes as countless vessels transit the area in order to arrive from America to Europe or vice versa. Explanations for the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes range from Aliens, mystery pyramids, weather phenomena to portals to another dimension. 6 Likes 2 Shares

'The mystery of life and the world we live in is certainly the most persistent problem ever placed before the thought of man. It is high time we accept the fact that science has no explanation to everything on the surface of the earth. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

7. The enigma behind the Cochno stone—an ancient Star Map. Few have heard about a mysterious 5,000-year-old stone slab covered in strange, alien-like symbols. Discovered in 1887 by Rev. James Harvey, this enigmatic piece of stone contains around 90 strange indentations and is considered to host one of the finest sets of petroglyphs not only in Scotland but on Earth. Scientists cannot agree on what the symbols mean and why so many of them are similar to crops circles, or constellations in the sky. Some have ventured out and said that the Cochno Stone is a 5,000-year-old star map. 5 Likes 5 Shares

8. Dolmens Just like there are Pyramids scattered on nearly all continents on Earth, there are Dolmens spread across different continents. We can find these mysterious stone structure everywhere, from Korea, China, Scandinavia, Russia, Spain, Portugal, etc… Why so many exist, and why many of them are so familiar has bothered experts who are unable to fully explain their purpose and origin. Archaeologists believe they were built as tombs for people belonging to the royal class, but many authors disagree. Oh and, there’s that strange thing that happens when you bring electric devices near some of the dolmens—they behave erratically almost as if something was interfering with the apparatus.

Righteousness89:You will remain the daftest person ever. We cannot know and should not know because your God will be jealous. If everybody had followed this philosophy, u will still be living in caves and wont even have the opportunity to make use of the phone u use in typing this daft comment. Idiotic, if earth is useless to u, u can get sniper and stop disturbing the peace of those who have taken sacrifice to explore and made it better for u to live. If u can't do same or at least appreciate it then the best u can do is shut up. I pity the children u will raise, they will be so backward in thinking, I am afraid they will grow up to be non achievers and useless to their generation 17 Likes 4 Shares |

Missyajoke: I am more interested in the battle that was fought at the Frangokastello.  If you say it was fought in the year 1828(May 17 1828 to be precise), then it must have been an episode of the Greek War of Independence{1821-1830}. It was a war that had pitted the Greek nationalists/revolutionaries{supported by Russia, Britain and France} against the Ottoman Empire because the Greeks wanted independence from the Ottoman Empire which it had been part of since the 1400s. Now, to this particular battle of Frangokastello; it would seem that it was part of the larger Greek plan to expand the Greek War of Independence to Crete- an island which up until that battle was fought had remained largely unaffected by the war. The Greek incursion into Crete failed oof course and the Ottomans responded by massacring almost every single thing Greek on the island- especially those associated one way or the other with the revolt. |

Science doesn't claim to have explanation for everything, but is constantly researching to find answers to phenomena yet unraveled. This is unlike religion that makes one to just believe with faith that everything both known and unknown revolves around a supernatural being. Such blind beliefs ain't good for our progress and survival as humans living in this globe. 3 Likes |

hmmm. This is one of education and comedy. Shalla to missyajoke. Interesting topics such as this can make me start crushing on you As for righteousness89, I might not be a believer. But existence of people like you makes me question what kind of creator would plant an annoying,daft and idiotic individual in the midst of his creations. Guy change. BTW, this VirginFinder guy always cracks me up with his corrections of this Righteousness guy. Talk about your nemesis following you bumper to bumper 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Righteousness89:The chemistry of planet earth, the universe and indeed the multiverse is actually well researched and well known. Stop generalising your ignorance. Just because your mind and thinking has been warped by medieval fierry tales doesn't mean scientists haven't found answer to these "mysteries". Peharps it's one of the things The ALMIGHTY GOD will Show to us up there in Heaven..This life is all we got. There is no proof whatsoever that heaven and hell exist. Until you or anyone else can prove beyond reasonable doubt that heaven and hell exist and your religion's heaven and hell is the real one, kindly stfu! Without proof or evidence, any idiot can make any moronic claim expecting people to believe them. And believe me, there are lots of moronic claims out there like talking snakes, tower of Babel, fallen angel, flying to heaven on a winged horse etc. GOD is GOD irrespective of the Creatures that have allowed the devil to use them to misbehave or talk anyhow..The idea of the devil is probably the most funny, ingenious and deceptive ever made by man. Why take responsibility for your lapses and inefficiencies when you can easily blame the devil? Nations with high numbers of atheists/thinkers such as China, Netherlands, Denmark are light years ahead of Nigeria where everyone is basically a believer and very prayerful. Isn't that ironic considering that "prayers can move mountains"? I Have Personally Decided to Follow Him and Enter Heaven by Rapture or by Death , any that Comes First!Your problem is that you have been brainwashed beyond redemption! Honestly, the differences between you and Boko Haram terrorists isn't much. One of my favourite author, Armin Navarbi who wrote "Why there is no God" actually attempted suicide as a boy because he was led to believe that boys who die before 14 are going to heaven. You are no different from young Armin Navarbi because you are absolutely convinced spamming every thread with inanities will help you make heaven. How pathetic is that! 1 Like 1 Share |
