The most mysterious place in the world. For everyone and about everything
Planet Earth is unique in its nature.
There are many beautiful and enchanting places in the world that many people want to visit. But there are mysterious, unusual and mystical places.
While scientists are trying to unravel the mystery of their uniqueness, they arouse keen interest among tourists.
So, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the TOP 5 most mystical places on planet Earth.
5th place - Roopkund Lake, India
The glacial lake is located at an altitude of 5029 meters in the Himalayas. The alpine reservoir is called “skeleton lake” for the many skeletons and skulls on its shores.
Rumors about it have circulated since the late 19th century, but it is believed that it was discovered by a local forester in 1942. Many believed that these remains belonged to Japanese soldiers, but numerous examinations showed that the age of the remains was more than 800 years.
In 2004, an expedition of scientists found that human remains had been lying around since 850 AD. DNA analysis revealed that the bones are divided into two parts: belonging to people vertically challenged and people of normal height.
The cause of their death was hail. It has been suggested that, most likely, these were pilgrims to sacred place Homkund.
4th place - Arkaim, Russia
In 1987, in the Chelyabinsk region, archaeologists discovered this mysterious city. Previously, it belonged to the ancient arches, which unexpectedly abandoned it and finally set it on fire.
Arkaim is well preserved and practically not destroyed. Inexplicable things are happening in this place.
There are legends that people are healed here and illnesses go away forever. The city consists of two circles with four entrances, according to the cardinal directions.
This place is popular among tourists. It is even possible to spend the night in an open-air tent on the territory of this mystical place.
3rd place - Loch Ness, Scotland
This place gained popularity after the appearance of a mysterious animal. The huge monster was first seen in the 20th century by a Mackay couple who had a hotel nearby.
Many eyewitnesses describe it as a huge dinosaur with an elongated neck.
An English pilot even made a film confirming its existence. Scientists have found a long cave at the bottom of this lake.
Scientists are still studying this lake, but for now a huge flow of tourists visits it every year.
2nd place - Heizhu Valley, China
Black Bamboo Dell is located in the southern region of China. The fame of this place lies in the fact that people die and disappear here repeatedly, and accidents occur.
There was a plane crash here in 1950, although no faults had previously been discovered. One day, an expedition team disappeared in the valley.
The leader of the squad fell a little behind the rest of the participants and saw how a thick fog appeared around him. He was terribly scared and when the fog cleared he discovered that the rest of the group had disappeared.
It is believed that this anomalous zone located on the border of the transition to a parallel world. It is worth noting that the evaporation of the roots of rotting plants, which are located in the hollow, can affect the psyche of people.
1st place - Bermuda Triangle, Atlantic Ocean
The most dangerous and mystical zone on Earth. In the Devil's Triangle, planes, ships and people disappear without a trace.
The anomalous zone got its name because it looks like a triangle, where the vertices are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the southern cape of Florida.
Vincent Gladdis dedicated an article to this place in 1964 and became the author of this phrase. Many films have been made and many books written about the Bermuda Triangle.
Skeptics argue that in this place there are no less cataclysms than in others. It is believed that the triangle is a transition to a parallel world.
But there are also scientific points of view on incidents in this anomalous zone, and several books have been written where the authors debunk myths about the dangerous zone.
In any case, while skeptics and scientists argue, this place rightfully takes first place in the ranking of the most mystical places on Earth.
On our beautiful planet, there are places that evoke mystical horror. Many of them are the activities of man himself, like abandoned cities and accident zones, but even more of them were created by nature itself. And to those and other places travel companies offer trips, because man is designed in such a way that he is attracted not only by everything beautiful and interesting, but also by everything scary and mysterious.
The most terrible places on planet Earth
Manchac Swamp
Such a swamp is located in the American state of Louisiana. An abandoned place with a huge number of alligators, twisted and rotten trees. It emanates mysticism, many tourists see ghosts, guides explain this by the fact that many slaves who once fled from their masters found their death in the swamp. In 1915, a terrible hurricane swept through here, which added more casualties - several villages along with people and animals were washed into the swamp. That's why the swamp is called the place of ghosts. It's especially creepy there at night.
Suicide Forest in Japan
At the foot of the famous Mount Fuji lies the dense Aokigahara forest, which attracts suicides. But the fact is that since ancient times this forest was considered the “place of residence” of ghosts, and sick and infirm people were brought here to certain death. These were mostly old people, children and disabled people. Yes, the morals then were such that if a person cannot feed himself, then his place is precisely in this quiet and gloomy forest, full of dark rocky caves. The forest is literally saturated with dark energy, affecting the suffering of the people abandoned here. It’s not for nothing that people who want to commit suicide choose this place.
Not many tourists take the risk of seeing the Aokigahara forest; mostly suicides and rescuers come there to try to find them and talk them out of their fatal mistake. They also install signs with inscriptions about the value of life and loved ones left at home. But it seems that this stops few, since every year more than a hundred corpses are found in the forest, which the looters have already managed to search. And since it is very easy to get lost in the forest, the corpses of marauders are also added to the suicides.
Chernobyl Ukraine
Here the human factor played a tragic role. In 1986, an accident occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant site. For two days, the city of Pripyat and adjacent to the station settlements were in urgently evacuated. People were sure that they were leaving their homes for several days, so they left not only their acquired property, but also their animals. Today, the radiation level has decreased significantly and short excursions are held in the exclusion zone. Tourists are invited to examine the sarcophagus and walk along the streets of the abandoned city. A very painful impression is left by hastily abandoned residential buildings with children's toys, empty kindergartens and schools, to which people will return for a long time, or perhaps never.
Danakil Desert
This is the Ethiopian desert, which is also called “Hell on Earth”. It received this name because of its strange landscape, similar to that of Mars. All this is aggravated by a lack of oxygen, the fetid smell of saturated gases, and scalding air. They are born from the boiling earth and melting stones underfoot. Traveling in fifty-degree heat, suddenly awakening mini-volcanoes, harmful sulfur fumes, warring semi-wild tribes - all this adds up to thrill-seekers great harm for good health. But this does not stop many, because the African Danakil desert is very beautiful and mysterious.
Babi Yar
Another terrible place in Ukraine due to its tragic events is the Babi Yar tract. Here, during the Second World War, mass executions of the Jewish population of Kyiv were carried out. The German occupiers herded Jews, Gypsies and those who sheltered them here and, according to eyewitnesses of those events, the executions did not stop for several months. Historians claim that more than one hundred thousand people died here. Those tragic events left their mark on the entire area.
Today there is a memorial “Menorah at Babi Yar” and many monuments with a variety of inscriptions. So the site was immortalized in memory of all the innocent victims.
Hell Gate
In 1971, after an accident on a Soviet drilling rig, a 100-meter wide fault was left in Turkmenistan. Gases began to emerge from the crack, which it was decided to set on fire. But no one could calculate their number, and since then a fire has been raging in the well. It can be seen for many kilometers and, it seems, will burn there for a very long time.
Island of Abandoned Dolls
In Mexico, among the many islands, only one is marked with a terrible feature - the Island of the Dolls (La Isla de las Muñecas), the territory of which is hung with forgotten or thrown into the trash dolls. It all started with the death of a girl who drowned in one of the island’s ponds. The guy who witnessed this tragedy kept the doll of the drowned child and hung it on a tree, supposedly in memory of the deceased. Since then, he has constantly found discarded dolls and brought them to the island, and in 2011 he himself drowned in the same lake, shortly before becoming a hermit and the only inhabitant of the island. The toys are mostly broken and mutilated, which is why an eerie and ominous atmosphere reigns throughout the island.
Catacombs of the Capuchins
In the Italian city of Palermo there are catacombs with the mummified remains of about five thousand monks. The last burial here dates back to 1990. Since then, the catacombs have been open to tourists.
Overtown Bridge
The Arch Bridge near the Scottish city of Glasgow became famous not because of its beauty, but because of the strange suicide of dogs that began in the mid-20th century. The mysticism is that every month on the same day dogs jumped from a fifteen-meter bridge. Under the bridge there is a waterfall site with many stones, so almost all the animals died. Those who survived again climbed the bridge and jumped from it.
The Scots explain this behavior of dogs with a legend about how a father threw his son off this bridge and now the ghost of the child calls the dogs to him on the very day he drowned. Most likely, only dogs see the boy’s ghost and rush to his aid.
Scientists explain the fact of the suicide of dogs by the fact that they are all hunting breeds and, walking across the bridge, they see and smell the minks living under the bridge, and just like that, obeying instinct, they die. But there are skeptics who refute this theory, saying that dogs jump from the bridge on a certain day, and not spontaneously. The question remains open, although more and more new versions of strange animal behavior constantly arise. One of which, absolutely incredible, is the opening of a portal site to other worlds. But there is still no solution, and the dogs continue to die.
Paris catacombs
Unlike the Italian catacombs, the Parisian ones are much larger and famous throughout the world. They are a chain of winding tunnels with many caves and descents. The length of the catacombs is about 300 kilometers, they pass under the whole of Paris. According to experts, more than 6 million people are buried here.
Despite the fact that such places have a negative impact on people, hundreds of tourists visit such creepy places in search of thrills.
There are many places in the world that both attract and frighten with their mystery. People disappear there, things fly there, ghosts appear there. Scientists still cannot really understand these phenomena, either explaining them as mass hallucinations or simply throwing up their hands. Below we will tell you about the 10 most mystical places on the planet.
Arkaim. This is a rather mysterious place. First of all, you need to be able to get here in the right way. According to beliefs, it is not enough to just buy a bus or train ticket to this mystical city. Another aspect is much more important here - will this place want to receive a guest? People come here not just attracted by an interest in antiquity. Quite strange and unusual things happen here. So, you can spend the night on the top of the mountain, where it is quite cold and windy. In this case, a thick sleeping bag will not be needed - the cold will not overcome you anyway. They say that all diseases that are dormant in the body and sometimes make themselves felt come out in these places and never return to a person. People literally experience withdrawal symptoms after visiting Arkaim. The old life loses all meaning. Anyone who has been here begins to feel renewed, starting with a lot of clean slate . This ancient mystical city was found by Soviet archaeologists in 1987. It is located at the confluence of the Karaganka and Utyaganka rivers. This is in the Chelyabinsk region, south of Magnitogorsk. Among all the archaeological monuments of Russia, this is, without a doubt, the most mysterious. Once upon a time, the ancient Aryans built their fortress here. However, for some unknown reason, they left their home and left, finally burning it. This happened about 4 thousand years ago. But during this time the city practically did not collapse; another Aryan city, Sintashta, looks much worse. According to the plan, Arkaim looks like two rings of defensive structures, inscribed one into the other. There are two circles of dwellings, a central square and again a circular street, in which the flooring was wooden, and there was even storm drain . The four entrances to Arkaim were oriented to the cardinal points. There is no doubt that the city was built according to a clear plan. After all, everything here they have a single center where all the radial lines converge. In addition, the city also has a clear orientation by the stars. The fact is that it was not only built, but also lived taking into account astrological aspects. Arkaim is often compared to Stonehenge, but it would be more appropriate to compare it with the City of the Sun by Tommaso Campanella. This philosopher was fond of astrology and dreamed of creating a society that would live according to the laws of the Cosmos. The City of the Sun, which he invented, was to be built in the form of a ring, taking into account astrological calculations. The culture of the found city existed 38-40 centuries ago. This correlates with the theory of the settlement of the ancient Aryans on the planet. Legends of those times say that the white race came to Europe from the continent of Arctida, which sank in the Arctic Ocean. Then the Aryans settled along the Volga and in the Urals, Northern Siberia. From there they moved to India and Persia. Thus, it is Russia that can be considered the cradle of two ancient world religions - Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. The Avesta and Vedas came to Iran and India from us. As proof of this, we can cite the Avestan traditions, according to which the prophet Zarathustra was born somewhere in the foothills of the Urals.
Devil's Tower. This place is located in the US state of Wyoming. In fact, it is not a tower at all, but a rock. It consists of stone pillars that seem to be made of bundles. The mountain has correct form . It was formed 200 million years ago. For a long time, it seemed to an outside observer that this mountain was of artificial origin. But man could not build it; therefore, it was created by the devil. In size, the Devil's Tower is 2.5 times larger than the Cheops pyramid! It is not surprising that the local population has always treated this place with trepidation and even fear. In addition, there were rumors that at the very top of the mountain there were often. A variety of science fiction films are often filmed at Devil's Tower. The most famous of them is Steven Spielberg's film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. People have only climbed to the top of the mountain twice. The first conqueror was a local resident in the 19th century, and the second was rock climber Jack Durrance in 1938. The plane cannot land there, and from the only area suitable for helicopters they are literally torn away by wind currents. Experienced parachutist George Hopkins intended to become the third conqueror of the summit. Although he was able to land successfully, the ropes that were thrown to him from above were damaged due to the impact on the sharp rocks. As a result, Hopkin became a real prisoner of the Devil's Rock. The news of this shook the whole country. Soon several dozen planes were circling over the Tower, dropping down free equipment and food supplies. However, most of the parcels were broken on rocks. Rats became another problem for the parachutist. It turned out that there were quite a lot of them on the top of a smooth rock, inaccessible from below. Every night the rodents became more aggressive and bolder. In the USA, a special committee was even created to save Hopkins. Experienced climber Ernst Field was called to help him along with his assistant. But after only 3 hours of climbing, the climbers were forced to abandon further rescue. Field said that this damn rock was simply too tough for them. This is how it turned out that professionals conquering eight-thousanders turned out to be powerless in front of a rock 390 meters high. Through the press, the same Jack Durrance was found. Within two days he was there and decided to conquer the peak along the only route known to him. The climbers, led by him, were able to reach the top and lower the unfortunate parachutist from there. Devil's Tower held him captive for a whole week.
White Gods. In the northeast of the Moscow region there is a place called White Gods. It is located in a tract near the village of Vozdvizhenskoye, Sergiev Posad district. As soon as you delve deeper into the deep forest, a regular stone hemisphere appears. Its diameter is 6 meters and its height is 3 meters. This place was mentioned in his notes by the famous traveler and geographer Semenov-Tyan-Shansky. Legends say that here in there was a pagan altar. Its layout was somewhat reminiscent of the English Stonehenge. There, by the way, according to some sources, sacrifices were also made to the gods. In the pantheon of ancient gods, good was personified by Belbog. His idols were installed by the Magi on a hill, people prayed to him for protection from Chernobog - the personification of evil. The father of these two gods was Svantevit, the god of gods. Together they made up Triglav, or the triune deity. This was the image of the pagan system of the universe among the Slavs. Our ancient ancestors did not build their settlements just anywhere. A number of conditions had to be met for this to happen. Usually the Slavs tried to build near river bends so that they would be present groundwater, ring structures and geological faults. This is evidenced by photographs from space, as well as an analysis of the location of old settlements, churches and monasteries, as well as stories that the mystical properties of nature are manifested in such places.
Hatteras. There are many mysterious and mystical substances in the Atlantic. One of them is Cape Hatteras. It is also called the Southern Cemetery of the Atlantic. The East Coast of the United States is generally quite dangerous for shipping. There are islands here called the Outer Banks or Virginia Dare Dunes. They constantly change their shape and size. This creates difficulties for navigation even in weather with excellent visibility. In addition, there are often storms, fogs and swells. The local "Southern Haze" current and "Gulf Stream soaring" make navigation in these waters quite stressful and even deadly. Forecasters say that during a “normal” force 8 storm, the wave height here is as much as 13 meters. The Gulf Stream near the cape flows at a speed of about 70 kilometers per day. The two-metre Diamond Shoals are located 12 miles from the cape. There the famous current collides with the North Atlantic. This leads to the formation of a very surprising phenomenon, observed only in these places. During a storm, the waves collide with a roar, and sand, shells and They fly up like fountains to a height of 30 meters. Few managed to see such a spectacle live and then get out of there. The Cape has many victims. One of the most famous is the American motor ship "Mormakkait". It sank here on October 7, 1954. Another famous case occurred with the lightship Diamond Shoals. It was tightly tied to the bottom with anchors, but strong storms tore it out every time. As a result, the lighthouse ended up being thrown over the dunes into Pamlico Sound. In 1942, he was finally shot from his cannons by a fascist submarine that unexpectedly surfaced here. In general, sandbanks during World War II became a favorite place for German submarines. There, submariners swam, sunbathed and even organized sporting events. And all this is under the very noses of the Americans. After resting, the Germans boarded their boats and continued the hunt for Allied transports. As a result, in this area from January 1942 to 1945, the following were sunk: 31 tankers, 42 transports, 2 passenger ships. The number of small ships is generally difficult to calculate. The Germans themselves lost only 3 submarines here, all in April-June 1942. Cape Terrible at that time became an ally of the Nazis. Those natural factors that hindered American ships only helped the submarines. True, shallow depths posed a danger for the Germans too.
Czech catacombs. In the city of Jihlava, in Czech South Moravia, there are catacombs. These underground structures were created by man. This place has a mystical fame. The passages were dug here back in the Middle Ages. They say that in one of the corridors exactly at midnight they begin to hear the sounds of an organ. Ghosts were repeatedly encountered in the catacombs, and other supernatural phenomena occurred here. Scientists initially rejected all these mystical incidents as unscientific. However, over time, even they were forced to pay attention to the increasing evidence of something wrong happening underground. In 1996, a special archaeological expedition arrived in Jihlava. She made an interesting conclusion - the local catacombs hide secrets that science simply cannot unravel. Scientists have recorded that in the place about which we're talking about In legends, the sounds of the organ are actually heard. Moreover, the underground passage is located at a depth of 10 meters; there is not a single room near it that could accommodate this musical instrument in principle. So there can be no talk of random errors. The eyewitnesses were examined by psychologists who said there were no signs of mass hallucination. But the main sensation told by archaeologists was the existence of a “luminous staircase.” It was discovered in one of the hitherto little-known underground passages. Even the old-timers didn’t know that it even existed. Samples of the material showed that there was no phosphorus in it. Witnesses say that the staircase does not stand out at first glance. However, over time, it begins to emit a mystical reddish-orange light. Even if you turn off the flashlight, the glow will still remain, and its intensity will not decrease.
Coral Castle. This complex includes huge statues and megaliths, whose total weight exceeds 1100 tons. They are folded here by hand, without the use of any machines. The castle is located in California. The complex has a square tower with two floors. She alone weighs 243 tons. There are also various buildings here, thick walls, leading to an underground pool spiral staircase. There is also a map of Florida made of stones, hewn stones, a table created in the shape of a heart, accurate sundial, stone Saturn and Mars. The moon, weighing 30 tons, points its horn directly to the North Star. As a result, many interesting objects were located on an area of 40 hectares. The author and creator of such an object was Edward Lidskalnins, a Latvian emigrant. Perhaps he was inspired to create the castle by his unrequited love for 16-year-old Agness Skaffs. The architect himself came to Florida in 1920. The mild climate of this place extended his life, because it was in danger due to progressive tuberculosis. Edward was small person with a height of 152 centimeters and a weight of 45 kilograms. Although outwardly he seemed frail, he built his castle for 20 years alone. To do this, he dragged huge blocks of coral limestone here from the coast, and then created blocks from it. At the same time, he didn’t even have jackhammer, the Latvian created all his instruments from discarded car parts. It is quite difficult to understand now how the construction itself took place. It is unknown how Edward moved and lifted multi-ton blocks. The fact is that the builder was also very secretive, preferring to work at night. The gloomy Edward was extremely reluctant to let guests into his place of work. As soon as an unwanted guest arrived here, the owner stood behind him and stood there silently until the visitor left. One day, an active lawyer from Louisiana decided to build a Villa next door. In response to this, Edward simply moved his entire creation 10 miles south. It remains a mystery how he managed to do this. It is known that the builder hired a large truck for this purpose. Many witnesses saw the car. However, no one saw how Edward himself or the builder loaded anything there or unloaded it back. To astonished questions about how he managed to transport his castle, he answered: “I discovered the secret of the pyramid builders!” In 1952, Lidskalnin died unexpectedly, but not from tuberculosis, but from stomach cancer. After the death of the Latvian, parts of diaries were found that talk about the magnetism of the Earth and the control of the flow of cosmic energy. However, nothing was explained there. A few years after Edward's death, the American Engineering Society decided to conduct an experiment. To do this, they tried to move one of the stone blocks, which Edward never managed to install, with the most powerful bulldozer. The machine turned out to be unable to do this. As a result, the mystery of this entire structure and its movement remained unsolved.
Kyzylkum. Between the Syrdarya and Amudarya rivers Central Asia There are a number of anomalous areas that still cannot be explored. Thus, in the central part of Kyzylkum, in its mountains, strange rock paintings were found. There you can clearly see people in spacesuits and something very reminiscent of spaceships. In addition, UFOs are often observed in these places. A famous incident occurred in November 1990. Then employees of the Zarafshan cooperative "Ldinka", driving at night along the Navoi-Zarafshan road, saw a long forty-meter cylindrical object in the sky. A strong, focused, clearly defined cone-shaped beam descended from it to the ground. An expedition of ufologists found in Zarafshan with supernatural powers. She stated that she is constantly in contact with representatives of an alien civilization. In the spring of 1990, she received information that an unearthly flying object was destroyed in low-Earth orbit, and its remains fell 30-40 kilometers from the city. Only six months passed and in September two local geologists, breaking down drilling profiles, stumbled upon spots of unknown origin. Their analysis showed that they cannot be of earthly origin. However, this information was immediately classified and was never officially confirmed by anyone.
Loch Ness. This Scottish lake has long attracted all lovers of mysticism and mysteries. The reservoir is located in the north of Great Britain, in Scotland. The area of Loch Ness is 56 km², its length is 37 kilometers. The maximum depth of the lake is 230 meters. The lake is The Caledonian Canal, which connects the west and east coasts of Scotland. The fame of this lake was brought by the mysterious large animal Nessie, who supposedly lives in it. Outwardly, it is very reminiscent of a fossil lizard. Scientists estimate that since the creation of the road on the lake shore in 1933, more than 4 thousand evidence of a monster emerging from the waters of the lake have been recorded. It was first seen in the 20th century by the Mackay couple, owners of a local hotel. However, there are not only documented stories of eyewitnesses, science also has dozens of, albeit unclear, photographs, there are underwater recordings and even recordings of echo sounders. One or more lizards with a long neck can be seen on them, in whole or in part. Supporters of the existence of the monster cite a film made in 1966 by British aviation employee Tim Dinsdale as proof of their theory. There you can see a huge animal swimming in the water. Military experts only confirmed that the object moving around Loch Ness cannot be an artificial model. This is a living creature moving at a speed of about 16 km/h. It is also believed that the lake area itself is a large anomalous zone. After all, UFOs were often observed here; the most famous evidence dates back to 1971, when alien “irons” flew here. Researchers do not leave the lake alone. So, in the summer of 1992, the entire Loch Ness was carefully scanned using sonar. The results were sensational. Dr. McAndrews' team stated that at least several unusually large living creatures were found under water. These could have been dinosaurs that somehow survived to this day. The lake was also photographed using laser equipment. Researchers said that the lizard living in the waters is unusually smart. Even a submarine was used to search for the monster. In 1969, the Pisiz apparatus, equipped with a sonar, descended under water. Later, the search was continued by the Viperfish boat, and since 1995, the Time Machine submarine also began to take part in the research. Important research in February 1997, carried out by the military led by Officer Edwards. They were patrolling water surface and used deep-sea sonars. A deep crevice was found at the bottom of the lake. It turned out that the cave is 9 meters wide, and its maximum depth can reach 250 meters! Researchers want to find out further whether this cave is part of an underwater tunnel connecting the lake with other bodies of water in the neighborhood. To find out, they are going to launch a whole batch of non-toxic dyes into the hole. Individual particles of it will then be searched for in other bodies of water. The lake can be reached from London by train, and from Inverness by bus or car. A whole extensive tourist infrastructure has been created around Loch Ness. There are many hotels and hotels here. You can even pitch a tent, but not on personal land. In summer, the lake warms up enough to swim in. But only Russian tourists dare to do this, and local residents simply mistake them for crazy people.
Moleb triangle. Between the Sverdlovsk and Perm regions on the banks of the Sylva there is a geoanomalous zone. This triangle is located opposite the village of Molebki. Discovered it strange place geologist from Perm Emil Bachurin. In the winter of 1983, he found an unusual round footprint in the snow with a diameter of 62 meters. Returning here in the fall of the following year, he saw a hemisphere glowing blue in the forest. Further study of this place showed that there is a strong dowsing anomaly. Large black figures were observed in the triangle, glowing balls and other bodies. At the same time, these objects demonstrated reasonable behavior. They lined up in clear geometric figures, watched the people exploring them, and flew away when people approached them. In September 1999, the next expedition of the Cosmopoisk group came here. They repeatedly heard strange sounds here. The researchers mention that they heard a running engine. It felt like a car was about to roll out of the forest into the clearing, but it never appeared. And no traces of her were found later. The Moleb triangle is generally quite famous among tourists and ufologists. In the early 90s, so many curious people began to come here that it became simply impossible to do any research here. It has become increasingly mentioned in the press that the Perm anomalous zone has ceased to exist under the massive impact of people. That is why interest in the mysterious triangle has noticeably decreased recently.
Chavinda.
This unusual place is located in Mexico. In Chawinda, according to the beliefs of local residents, there is the “intersection of worlds.” Therefore, no one is surprised that anomalous and mystical incidents occur more often in this area than in other places. In the 1990s, a sensational incident occurred here. Eyewitnesses say it was a moonlit, cloudless night. You didn't even need a flashlight to see what was going on around you. The treasure hunters suddenly heard a horseman approaching them. He was in national costume. The horseman told the frightened Mexicans that he saw them from the top of a distant mountain and rode here in 5 minutes. It was physically impossible! The treasure hunters dropped their tools and fled in panic. When they came to their senses, they naturally doubted what they had seen. The Mexicans soon began searching again. But it turned out that this was just the beginning! Their new cars began to break down, and within just one day they turned into old wrecks. No repair could stop this process. One of the cars was even no longer visible to other drivers on the road. Once she was even rammed by a truck, whose driver watched in amazement as he crashed into an “invisible” car. Such mystical troubles continued until the Mexicans, who had previously believed in nothing, were forced to promise themselves that they would abandon the search for this treasure.
Ancient cities that have become legends have long attracted the attention of archaeologists, historians, and just amateurs. Often legends endow these settlements with untold riches, luxurious temples and palaces, and it seems that they can only exist in legends.
Today we can only imagine their former greatness and power, and archaeologists will read the writings on the ruins of these cities. Cities that were swallowed up by seas and jungles, cities that were destroyed during wars and abandoned during periods of severe drought. Cities that left behind many secrets and few clues. And although the existence of some of them has not yet been proven, archaeologists persistently continue to search for them.
On a hill near Hisarlik, archaeologists found a wall 6 meters high, and some finds suggest that there were nine cities in this area, one of which may have been Troy.
There are many legends associated with Babylon: this is the biblical instructive story about the division of languages, these are the famous Hanging Gardens Semiramis, which has already become an unspoken symbol of the once powerful city. More than a thousand years ago, Babylon ruled this land and dictated its rules to neighboring states, and now all that remains of it are ruins.
In the 19th century they discovered brick walls city with the ruins of the northern palace, and parts of the Ishtar Gate were collected in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.
Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is the most famous city Incas. Today it can tell a lot about its inhabitants, their culture and religion, but it was not remembered for more than four hundred years, when the Inca Empire fell into decline in the 30s of the 16th century. Only in 1911 was it discovered by the American explorer Hiram Bingham, and the whole world paid attention to the city.
The city has a rather unique location: in the heart of the jungle. It is still not clear why the Incas chose this particular place, but there is an assumption that the reason was due to some religious or astronomical factors.
Carthage

1. Currently, scientists have already come to a consensus about the reasons for the installation of strange monuments on easter island, but how they were made and transported is still a mystery. The average Moai weighs several tons, and there is a considerable distance from the place where it was created to the place where it now stands. According to one version, for transporting the idol they used wooden beams and a sleigh, which, by the way, explains why the green island is practically barren.
2., unlike other ancient monuments, were a mystery from the very beginning. Four granite slabs support one central stone. The strange monument is not many years old. It was created by a certain R. C. Christian in 1979. The tablets are oriented to the cardinal points and also have holes pointing to the sun and the polar star. But the most heated debates are caused by the inscriptions on the slabs addressed to those who will survive the global cataclysm. According to one version, the Georgia Tablet is a kind of textbook for those who will restore society after the nuclear Holocaust.
3. Cahokia is an Indian site near Illinois, USA, founded in 650 AD. e. Judging by the complex structure of the city, the society was highly developed and prosperous. 40 thousand Indians lived in Cahokia and before the arrival of Europeans it was considered the most densely populated area in America. But the main mystery remains mounds of Cahokia. The 2,200-acre site also contained a network of terraces, and it was believed that only important buildings, such as the ruler's house, were built on the topmost one.
4. Newgrange is the most famous prehistoric and oldest structure in Ireland today. Built from earth, wood, clay and stone in 3100 BC. e., it is a thousand years older than the pyramids in Egypt! The long corridor of the building ends in a transverse chamber, which most likely served as a grave. In addition, the structure was designed in such a way that on the shortest day of the year (the winter solstice), the sun's rays fall through a 60-foot hole, illuminating the floor of the central room of the structure.
5. On a dry plateau in the Nazca Desert in Peru are a series of lines and pictographs called geoglyphs. Created by the Indians in the period from 200 BC. e. to 700 AD e., they cover an area of 50 miles. remained unharmed for centuries due to the arid climate. Insects, animals, simple lines
6. - the most mysterious building in Germany. Constructed from wooden palisades, gravel and earth, it served as the oldest solar observatory. The monument was erected by Neolithic peoples in 4900 BC. e. The precise use of the circle is still in question, but it may have served as a solar or lunar calendar.
7. Underwater Pyramids of Yonaguni puzzling like no other monument in Japan. Discovered in 1987 by divers observing sharks, they immediately sparked a sea of debate among scientists. Carved massive platforms and stone pillars lie at a depth of 5 to 40 meters. The currents in this area can be quite dangerous, which does not stop divers from all over Japan. The main debate among scientists is about the origin of the pyramids. Some believe that they were carved out by currents and erosion, since the monument is a continuation of the underwater rock. Others point to right angles and other formations of clearly artificial origin. If the latter theory is confirmed, the question will arise of who created the pyramids and why.
8. - a mysterious complex of stone walls, which is located very close to Machu Picchu. The walls were assembled from 200 ton blocks of rock and placed in a zigzag along the slope. The monument is in perfect condition for its age, especially considering that it lies in an area prone to earthquakes. Under the fortress, catacombs were discovered leading to other Inca buildings. It remains a mystery how this wall was erected, because it is impossible to stick a sheet of paper between the blocks!
9. 240 feet long, 20 feet wide and 66 feet high was carved from a single solid rock! This is the largest monument in the world. The Great Sphinx stands next to the pyramid of Pharaoh Khafre and most historians agree that it is his face that is depicted on it. Despite the fact that the statue is one of the most famous in the world, it is still unknown who and how it was created. If the Sphinx was erected during the reign of Khafre, then its age dates back to 2500 BC. e. But scientists were able to prove that in fact it is much older, which means that the monument was not erected by the ancient Egyptians!
10. No other famous monument in the world is shrouded in such mystery as. Since the Middle Ages, debates between archaeologists, historians and scientists have not subsided. Stonehenge is located 130 km southwest of London and is a stone megalithic structure. In a circle from the outer shaft there are 56 Aubrey burial holes, named after the scientist who first described them in the 17th century. Despite its impressive size ancient monument, it is believed that it is what remains of a much more massive structure. Since the Neolithic people did not leave any inscriptions, it remains to be assumed that Stonehenge was some kind of monument near the burial mounds.
