You really believe that we can build the world trade centre and other engineering feats but not the sphinx? And the fact that we dont know how exactly it was built by the ancients does not mean that it was built by aliens. Besides, if aliens or gods travelled across stars and came to earth, why not teach people how to make something like penicillin? why a pyramid that virtually serves no real use except being a monument?

The pyramid serves no use to today's world. But to the world that built it, it served a purpose.

All these remains mysterious.... That dancing mystery got me cracking. That one go good for all the politicians in the government house.... They should all dance to an unknown rhythm and die of heart attack or stroke... Op weldone

....Thanks sis.

I've seen a documentary about the Stonehenge. Geologists say each stone is so heavy that they didn't know how the ancient guys made them stand erect like that. Also there is no known technology on how they lifted those stones on top of one another thousands of years ago.

Only God knows, the Pyramid, Stonehenge, Statues on Easter Island and others.

Buried for more than a century, 1,400 gold coins worth an estimated $10 million were unearthed in a California backyard in 2014. The middle-aged California couple who discovered the eight decaying tin cans full of gold remain anonymous. Where did the gold come from? The tale grew even more curious aswe discovered that $30,000 worth of similar gold coins that amount would be in the millions in today's dollars had been stolen from the U.S. Mint in San Francisco in 1901. Soon we were all playing a game of whodunit. Former San Francisco Mint clerk Walter N. Dimmick was chargedwith that theft, but, by the prosecution’s own admission, he was convicted on wholly circumstantial evidence. Despite the fact that the Secret Service searched all over California for those coins, they were never found.
But maybe that couple living in Northern California finally did.

19. Missing Mexican Students.


Nearly four dozen high school students disappeared in Mexico after police stopped them from traveling to a protest. The cops then reportedly handed over the students to a drug gang, who investigators say killed them. However, their bodies have never been found. Nearly 80 people have been arrested following the kidnapping, including a mayor, his wife and a local police chief. But without their bodies, the case remains unsolved.

18. Chibok Girls.

Nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped in April from the Government Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria, by a radical Islamic group called Boko Haram. In early May, the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls began to spread on Twitter, raising the world's awareness of the mass abduction. In May, Nigeria's chief of defense staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, said the country's militaryhad located the schoolgirls, but using force to free them is currently out of the question. Badeh did not specify the girls' location, and a U.S. Defense Department spokesperson said it could not confirm Nigeria's report.

17. Stonehenge.


While Stonehenge is a very fascinating structure due to the big rocks that stand atop one another, the biggest mystery isn’t how it was created but why.
Stonehenge is one of the greatest unexplained mysteries of the world. It's certainly no hoax (estimated to be more than 5,000 years old) and is probably the most important prehistoric monument in the whole of Britain. When you visit Stonehenge, you'll find yourself driving for miles through rolling hills and countryside until, suddenly, you catch sight of this bizarre structure. There's an eerie feel to the area around Stonehenge, and for thousands of years it has soon silently, giving away few clues as to the meaning of its existence. Excavations have revealed that Stonehenge was built in four stages:

1. First a series of holes were dug around 3,100 BC for religious ceremony.

2. Then, more than 1,000 years later, the most dramatic stage of building took place. Huge bluestones from mountains in Wales were lugged more than 240 miles to the Stonehenge site. Why would anyone do this in the age before the wheel? And how would they accomplish sucha feat? These are true unexplained mysteries - because it really wouldn't have been hard to find rocks closer nearby. The stones were then set up to form an incomplete double circle, aligned perfectly with the midsummer sunrise.

3. The third stage in 2,000 BC saw the arrival of the more stones, transported by land from the Marlborough Downs some 25 miles away.

4. Finally, after a further 500 years had passed, someone felt the need to rearrange the massive Welsh bluestones into the familiar horseshoe and circle we see today.

16. The Voynich manuscript was written in a language that men through the centuries have tried to decode to no avail. The only idea anyone has of its origin are the drawings found on various pages.

15. The Taos HumIn the small town of Taos, New Mexico, there is a certain buzz often heard on the horizon that can be compared to the sound of a distant diesel engine. Although it can be heard by the naked ear, various sound detection devices are not able to pick it up. This is known as the Taos Hum and up to this day, no one still knows how this sound is being created.

14. The Dancing Plague of 1518.

The story of the dancing plague sounds like something straight out of fiction.On a summer’s day in the town of Strasbourg during the year 1518, a woman began dancing wildly in the street. The day turned into night, the night turned into morning, and she was still dancing. Within a week, 34 others had joined her, dancing as though they were possessed, without stop, for no apparent reason. And within a month, the number of dancers had reached 400. Religious sermons were called to address the issue. Physicians were called in to document the event and try to find a solution. And all the while, the dancing worsened. Many became ill or died as a result of exhaustion, strokes, or heart attacks. The authorities eventually decided that the only way the dancers would recover is if they danced it out of their systems.Gild halls and a grain market were opened to the dancers, and a wooden stage was even constructed for them. Musicians were even brought in to keep those affected moving. Numerous theories have been proposed for the cause of the bizarre event, including poisoning, epilepsy, typhus, mass psychogenic illness, and even secretly coordinated religious rituals, but to this day we still have no answer for this truly unbelievable historical event.

13. The Moai statues of Easter Island.



The mystery of Easter Island and the Moai statues that inhabit it is something that most ofus are at least vaguely familiar with, but the fact that there are still so many legitimate unanswered questions surrounding the island is in itself quite remarkable. Back in Easter in 1722, a Dutch explorer happened upon something strange. He was originally in search of a hypothetical land mass called Terra Australis, thought to exist because at the time they thought that the northern and southern hemispheres should be balanced.Instead though, he discovered an island in the Southeastern Pacific Ocean, which he would later name Easter Island due to the date of its discovery. He was surprised to discover that the island was inhabited, and he reported seeing 2,000 to 3,000 people there. This was surprising, because the island is well really far from anything else at all. A staggering 1,900 kilometres away from the nearest inhabited land, and about 3,500 kilometres off the coast of Chile. And yet despite its incredible remoteness, The Rapa Nui people who called the island home managed to carve and transport a mind-blowing 887 statues, some measuring 33 feet tall and weighing up to 82 tonnes, an average of 17 kilometres each. And this all happened roughly 700 years ago. The biggest remaining question mark concerning the statues themselves is definitely their transportation.Theories have been proposed that involve ropes, sleds, rollers, levelled tracks, or even that the people slowly rocked the statues back and forth to their destination. Attempts have been made to recreate the methods that could have been used, but most resulted in damage to the statues, or would have required hundreds of people making just 0.08 kilometres of progress per day. The truth is, we don’t really know exactly how they did it. But however the Rapa Nui managed to move the Moai, they would have certainly needed to be incredibly patient, creative, and organised to make them a reality.

12. Wow! Signal.

On a summer night in 1977, Jerry Ehman, a volunteer for SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, recorded the strongest hard evidence of extraterrestrial life in human history. Ehman was scanning radio waves from deep space, as his volunteer position entailed, hoping to come across a signal that bore the hallmarks of one sent by intelligent aliens. And on that night, he saw his measurements spike, in a big way. The signal lasted for 72 seconds, the longest period of time it could possibly be measured by the array that Ehman was using. It was unmistakable, and appeared to have originated from within the Sagittarius constellation near a star called Tau Sagittarii, 120 light years away. Ehman wrote the words “Wow!” on the original printout of the signal, thus its being known as the “Wow! Signal.”
If you’re wondering what the fuss is about the signal, think of it this way the signal that was received was at precisely the right frequency that wouldn’t be interpreted as noise, and wouldn’t be intercepted along its journey.In other words, if we were going to send a signal out into the universe to try to communicate with an alien race, that’s exactly the frequency we would use.Despite the incredible occurrence however, all attempts to locate the signal again have failed, leading to much controversy and confusion about its origins and its meaning.

godofwar666:
Explorers and Sile12 are the best adventurers in NL

Lol....thanks bro.

Just few weeks after NigerianEye made a report about how a female Channels TV presenter was caught on live television blowing her male colleague a kiss during a news broadcast, another female presenter from NTA this time around was caught applying make-up during a news broadcast on LIVE television to the amazement of TV viewers .After the TV aired a commercial in between the news broadcast, the TV presenter was busy doing her make up while the camera got her back on air for a few seconds.

11. The Pyramid Power.

As unexplained mysteries go, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt really are something special. We still don't really know how the Egyptians built the largest pyramid of all, known as the Great Pyramid of Cheops (or Khufu), some 5,000 years ago. Remember, this was even before the invention of the wheel. The Pyramid of Cheops is the size of a 40-storey building and covers an area big enough to fit 10 football fields in it. More than 2.5 million stone blocks were used to make the pyramid, each weighing 2-5 tons, covering about 13 Acres of land
and cut from a distant limestone quarry on the other side of the Nile. It’s important to keep in mind that it originally had an outer casing of white limestone blocks that were perfectly polished and fitted. For thousands of years, it looked like a gleaming, white structure like no other. Keep in mind, we are talking about structures that were built sometime between 10,500BC and 3,500 BC. Over time, earthquakes and erosion were responsible for what we see today. Experts reckon it took 400,000 men some 20 years to complete. Engineering feats aside, I'd like to examine the unexplained mystery of Pyramid Power. In the 1940s, a French hardware dealer spotted some mummified animals exactly one-third up the height of the Pyramid of Cheops. The remarkable thing was they showed no signs of decomposition. He deduced that the pyramid shape was responsible for preserving them. Later, a Czech radio engineer claimed to conduct an experiment in which heplaced a brand new razor blade inside a 1:1,000 scale model of Cheops. He aligned his pyramid on a north-south axis exactly like the real thing. After getting 50 shaves from the razor, he was forced to conclude that it was only getting sharper from being inside the pyramid. It took him 10 years to obtain a patent for this device, which he claims still has no scientific explanation today.

What power could have moved these stones? Each stone has been estimated to weigh approximately between 2 and 20 tonnes each. Think about that, that’s 2.5 million blocks of stone that weight between 2 and 20 tonnes each. How did they cut the blocks with laser like precision and fit them perfectly in place? How did they lift and transport the rocks from their original position? How did they move across the terrain, dessert, water, and sand and then lift them on top of each other in order to build the pyramid? Even if the workers had achieved the impossible and unimaginable feat of ten blocks piled up on top of each other a day, they would have assembled the 2.5 million stone blocks into the stone pyramid in about 250,000 days, that’s 664 years, not even long enough for the one whom it was supposedly built for to see its completion. “It would be impossible to assemble enough men even around a 9,000pound stone that is perhaps only three and a half feet by three and half feet. To lift this stone onto and off of a barge, and then to maneuver it in place on the pyramid would take ten men, three on each side and two at each end. This placement means that each man, if all lifted equally, would be lifting 900-pounds. Obviously such a miraculous display of strength not only seems impracticable, but impossible. These pyramids built by the Egyptians 4,000 to 4,500 years ago are one of the seven wonders of the world. If there were any references to any machines used in building pyramids they may have burned in the fires of the Alexandrian Library.” Richard Coslow.

10. The Kepler telescope has spotted roughly 1,200 possible worlds, including 68 that are earthsized planets.

1 out of every 37 to 1 out of every 70 sun-like stars may harbor an alien earth.These findings alone can hint to billions of planets in our galaxy that could harbor life.

9. In 2003 a Boeing 727 was stolen from an Angolan airport even though the suspected thieves were believed to have no abilities to fly an aircraft.

The plane took off without any communication or clearance from the tower. With the lights off, and transponder disabled, it flew above the Atlantic Ocean never to be seen of again.

8. In 1967, Australia lost a prime minister. It was one of the largest search operations in the country’s history, yet no remains, or personal belongings were ever found.

Harold Holt was Prime Minister for 22 months before he disappeared while swimming at Cheviot Beach. A massive man hunt began by police, Royal Australian Navy divers, Royal Australian Air Force helicopters, Army personnel, and many local volunteers.

“The Black Knight Satellite” whose origin and purpose were unknown, was spotted before any man-made satellites were launched.

In 1954, a retired air force major reported that the U.S Air Force spotted two satellites orbiting Earth. Some claim this black knight satellite may 13,000 years old, and has been both sighted and photographed.

6. Nearly 90 different commercial airliners have gone missing in the last seven decades.

Without a single piece of wreckage ever located, the mysteries of what happen to almost one-hundred different planes, continue baffle people to this day. No one knows where they went, or what happened to the vanished planes.

5. A skeleton, 6-8 inches long, was discovered outside a Chilean ghost town.

Hard teeth, bulging head, and scaled skin made most think this was something extraterrestrial. Only after it was declared human, did the question arise for an explanation for it’s size, mutations, and origin. None of those answers were ever found.

4. Scientists are still baffled as to why humans have different blood types.

Karl Landsteiner, in the early 1900s, discovered the types of blood, and that certain kinds cannot mix. There are many theories on how we came to have these categories, but the question of why humans have different blood types at all, still remains unanswered.

3. Found over 2,000 years after her death, one of the world’s well preserved ancient human remains were buried in a mysterious liquid that scientists still can’t replicate.

Lady Dais of the Han Dynasty, is China’s eternal mummy. Her skin was still soft, and her arms and legs could flex at the joints, and remains to this day, the most well-preserved ancient human ever discovered.

2. When the MH370 Malaysian Airlines Flight vanished(239 passengers), everybody had their own theory as to what happened to the flight. At first, we thought it was a terrorist attack, given the rise in the number of terrorist groups in the world today. When they couldn’t link any terrorist organizations to the disappearance of the plane, they began investigating the plane’s pilot just to make sure he didn’t do anything stupid like hijack the plane. When they couldn’t find anything that insinuated the pilot was a hijacker or a terrorist, rumors began flourishing that North Korea had taken the plane. South Korea claimed that North Korea attempted to take out a Chinese plane carrying 220 passengers on March 5, 2014, so there’s a high chance they were guilty of taking the MH370. There were also other rumors such as the U.S. military took out the plane, Vladimir Putin hijacked it, it was a life insurance scam, UFOs were involved and so many other theories. Even though they found some debris of a plane on the Southern Indian Ocean west of Perth, Australia, they haven’t yet concluded that it was from MH370.

v. Trislander 2008.


The most recent disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle was in 2008, and after the incidents and missing crafts seem to just come to an end. Priorto the final incident, multiple unexplained occurrences happened every year in the area. On December 15, 2008 a British-Norman Islander took off from Santiago for New York with 12 people on board. Only 35 minutes after takeoff the airplane ascended and went off the radar. A massive search operation was launched by the US Coast Guard but the airplane was never seen again. The plan went missing around the West Caicos island.

iv. Flight 441, 1954.


Flight 441 was a huge US Military owned carrier aircraft which was one of the most successful models of all time. On the day it disappeared, it was flying 42 passengers, all naval officers and their families overseas. It was only 400 miles from the coast inside the Bermuda Triangle whenit simply vanished becoming one of the largest mysteries of the infamous spot to date. The investigation included the plane, weather and pilot capabilities but nothing was found that could point to how the plane disappeared. The plane’s cargo contained life rafts which would have floated on water if the plane broke apart on landing and would have been easily traceable. The pilot never even sent an SOS call.

iii. Flight DC-3, 1948.

On December 28, 1948 a Douglas Dakota DC-3 airplane took off from Puerto Rico, heading for Miami, Florida. When it was 50 miles from the airport, the flight sent out its final radio call to indicate its position. There was only twenty minutes to go before landing, but the flight was never seen or heard from again. It had 26 people on board, and became the first Douglas Dakota aircraft to go missing in the Florida Keys. Since then, there have been two more cases all of themaround the same location in the string of islands just south of Florida.

ii. The USS Cyclops, 1918.


The USS Cyclops was a massive carrier ship that supplied fuel to the American feet in WWI. The ship set sail with 309 people on board and was full of heavy cargo. The ship was last heard from in Barbados where it stopped to load more cargo before making the final stretch of journey to Baltimore, where it was expected. It never arrived, a huge search initiative started covering the entire route of the Cyclops looking for leftover debris fearing the ship had fallen victim to the German Submarines. No trace of the ship was ever found and it makes for one of the largest losses of life in the Bermuda Triangle. In 1941, two of the Cyclops’s sister ships disappeared along the same route.

Disappearances of Bermuda Triangle.

i. Flight 19, 1945.


Flight 19 was the title given to five TBM Avenger Torpedo Bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle, December 5, 1945 during a training flight. All 14 men on the flight disappeared without a trace. Later during the search, a Martin Mariner Flying Boat also disappeared over the water and was never found with 13 men on board.
