00:00In one hour, the explosion and the great fire that followed destroy a region of forest the size of greater London.
00:07People who observed that thought, the end of the world had come, judgment day, divine intervention.
00:23Plato wrote the story of Atlantis around 360 BCE.
00:29Just after Haliki was destroyed.
00:36It's baffled scientists, it's baffled experts, it's even baffled the newspapers.
00:58For a long time, the extraterrestrials.
01:00At the beginning of the 1970s, a particular series of circles of crops was discovered in Wiltshire, England.
01:08Which ignited a fever of curiosity and panic about the extraterrestrials that lasted decades.
01:14However, in 1991, Doug Bower and Dave Churley admitted that they were responsible for more than 200 incidents in the area.
01:29Before the eyes of the journalists, they showed how they made the patterns using a wooden board, a little rope and a baseball cap with wire.
01:47Number 9. Crystal skulls.
01:58During years, several international museums have preserved an unusual crystal skull.
02:04The origin of these apparent relics was unknown for a long time, although some believed they dated from pre-Columbian Mesoamerica.
02:12According to a legend, if 13 skulls are combined in particular, the infamous event of the day of the final Mayan trial could be stopped, which came and went on December 21, 2012.
02:28There are many who believe that this so-called reunion of the skulls will awaken sacred knowledge of the gods.
02:35Knowledge that has been hidden from mankind for thousands of years.
02:40However, with all the myth and intrigue, there have also been doubts.
02:45In 2008, during the uproar over the film related to Indiana Jones, which was released at that time, several important institutions carried out investigations.
02:55Including the Ducal Branly Museum in France, the Smithsonian in the United States and the British Museum in the United Kingdom.
03:02They discovered that it is likely that the skulls are not so old at all and that they are more likely to have been manufactured in the 20th century.
03:09Maybe even after the Second World War and in Europe.
03:25Number 8. The death of Tutankhamen.
03:42When the tomb of Tutankhamen was discovered in the Valley of the Kings in 1922, it was a historic day for the Egyptologists.
03:49However, what really led King Tutankhamen to his grave, being a teenager, was a mystery.
03:56How did the emblematic pharaoh die?
03:58There were several theories, including that he had fallen out of a car or that he had been murdered.
04:04But no conclusive evidence.
04:06All we know is that King Tut was alive and at the age of 19 he was being mummified.
04:13However, in 2005, a computerized tomography of Tutankhamen's mummified remains was carried out.
04:19And it was discovered that, in addition to several hereditary problems, he had suffered an exposed fracture in the leg shortly before he died.
04:27Genetic tests found that he was also infected with malaria.
04:31Therefore, researchers now believe that he died from a combination of disease and the severity of the open wound in the leg.
04:51Number 7. The Walking Stones.
05:02Since the beginning of the 20th century, there has been confusion about some apparently wandering rocks,
05:07the most famous of which are found along Racetrack Beach in the National Park of the Valley of the Death of California.
05:14It has been shown that the large stones move and leave large marks of footprints, without evidence of interference by humans or animals.
05:22Some as heavy as 700 pounds that move across the desert floor and leave long trails behind them.
05:52They will be propelled by thin layers of ice that form and break continuously under them.
05:58It is a strange process, but it is enough to push the rocks and solve the mystery.
06:17Number 6. The name of Somerton.
06:22There is now a potential breakthrough. A local researcher claims he solved the puzzle and can finally put a name to the face.
06:52The police even found the book from which the piece was extracted, inside which a coded message was discovered.
06:58All this fit to give rise to speculation, which has been made for a long time that the unknown man could have been a spy.
07:06In 2022, after the analysis of a sample of hair, we finally obtained more details.
07:22It was revealed that it was actually Carl Charles Webb, an electronic engineer from Melbourne, born in 1905.
07:42Number 5. The disappearance of Cheryl Miller and Pamela Jackson.
07:46It was a mystery that followed the city of Vermilion for decades.
08:02They didn't pack, they didn't cash their paychecks, they didn't call home. None of it makes any sense.
08:16In 2013, a severe drought reduced the water level enough in a nearby stream so that you could clearly see the bottom of a car buried in the mud.
08:33Surprisingly, there were human remains inside the vehicle. The following year, the DNA analysis concluded that the bodies were those of Miller and Jackson.
08:41The investigation also mentioned that there was no evidence of dirty play, which probably indicates that it was just a tragic accident.
08:59Number 4. The lost city of Elike.
09:11Built at the beginning of the Bronze Age, the city of Elike was an important center in the history of Ancient Greece.
09:17However, in 373 BC, it disappeared from the map. There were vague accounts that some kind of disaster had occurred, but the details were never confirmed.
09:28Centuries later, the Greek geographer Strabo stated that Poseidon, the god of the sea, had become angry directly because Elike had captured a statue of his, causing an earthquake, creating a tsunami that sank and destroyed everything.
09:43Plato wrote the story of Atlantis around 360 BCE, just after Elike was destroyed.
09:51Naturally, this led to speculations that Elike could have been the Atlantis of real life.
09:57But for millennia, no one even knew where their remains were, until in the early 2000s, archaeologists found evidence that it was submerged in an ancient lagoon.
10:08Atlantis or not, at least now we know where Elike was.
10:13In Plato's tale, the citizens of Atlantis angered the gods who then sent an earthquake that made Atlantis sink into the sea. The Heliki legend offers up a direct parallel.
10:26Number 3. The vampire of Connecticut.
10:28In the middle of the 19th century, the city of Grisgold, Connecticut, was suffering from an epidemic. Entire families got sick and coughed blood before dying.
10:38At that time, it was believed that a vampiric curse was widespread.
10:43We move quickly to the 1990s and a nearby tomb was discovered with an unusually buried skeleton.
10:50His arms were arranged in the shape of an X and the cut skull was on his chest.
10:56This macabre burial is related to a superstition that fearful people usually perform to prevent vampires from coming back to life to feed on the living.
11:09The field stone and the brick crypts, that really seems to argue some idea of keeping them down.
11:15At the time of the deaths of Grisgold, panic must have been extreme, but in 2019 the true nature of the events was discovered.
11:24After the analysis of other skeletons in the area, it was discovered that the mysterious wave of deaths was really caused by tuberculosis, instead of vampirism.
11:34Number 2. The event of Tunguska.
11:36In 1908, a massive explosion occurred near the Potkamennaya River, Tunguska, in Siberia, Russia.
11:56More than 800 square miles of forest were devastated by it, without any clear sign of its cause.
12:02The explosion had been detected by seismic stations as far away as Washington DC.
12:08According to some witnesses, three people could have lost their lives.
12:12It is believed that the force of the event was up to 50 megatons, almost the same as the Tsar bomb, the most powerful weapon ever tested.
12:20At that time and in the years immediately after, thousands of scientists tried to explain what happened.
12:27But it was not until 1930 that it was suggested for the first time that it was a comet.
12:33From there, more and more evidence was accumulated, and now it is firmly believed that the event of Tunguska was an asteroid that had entered the atmosphere of the Earth.
12:43In fact, we now know, since Tunguska, that we are potentially at the center of cosmic impacts.
12:52They have happened in the past, and they might happen in the future.
13:03If it was a meteorite, and the Earth had turned a bit further, it would have destroyed St. Petersburg.
13:09An hour later, it would have destroyed Helsinki.
13:11One hour later, Stockholm, and after that, Oslo.
13:40The archaeologists began to work.
13:43They discovered evidence of a settlement that dates back to the middle of the Homun period, around 4,000 to 2,500 BC.
13:51However, it was a terrible find, with about 170 skeletons contained in small tombs.
13:57One in particular, had 790 wounds in all the bones, and was missing a hand and a leg.
14:04In 2021, the researchers reconstructed what happened to this person, and what caused his death.
14:11Now we know that his death is the oldest known by a shark attack in history.
14:16Fishing equipment and shell jewelry were also found nearby,
14:20since it was known that Tsukumo number 24 had unfortunately lost a battle with a shark while hunting.
14:35Which of these mysteries did you just hear for the first time?
14:38And what problems that have not yet been solved do you think we will never be able to solve?
14:42Tell us in the comments.
