10 More Unsolved Mysteries of the World

The Grooved Spheres


Over the past few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysteriousmetal spheres. The origin is unknown, these spheres is about an inch in diameter, andsome of them etched with three parallel grooves running around the equator. Two types of spheres have been found: one consists of a solid bluish metal with white spots, the other hollowed out and filled with a spongy white substance. the kicker is that the rock in which they were found is Precambrian - and by up to 2.8 billion years old! Who madethem and for what purpose is unknown.



The Dropa Stones


In 1938 an archeological expedition led by Dr. Chi Pu Tei Baian-Kara-Ula mountains of China made ​​an astonishing discovery in the caves, which apparently were occupied bysome ancient culture. Buried in the dust of centuries on the cave floor were hundreds ofstone disks. Measuring about nine inches in diameter, each circle cut into the centerand was etched with a spiral groove, making it look for all the world like some ancientphonograph record some 10,000 to 12,000 years. spiral groove, it turns out, is actuallycomposed of tiny hieroglyphics that tell the incredible story of spaceships from somedistant world that crash-landed in the mountains. ships were piloted by people whocalled themselves Dropa, and the remains of whose descendents, possibly, were foundin a cave.


The Ica Stones


Beginning in 1930, the father of Dr. Javier Cabrera, Cultural Anthropologist for Ica, Peru,discovered many hundreds of ceremonial burial stones in the tombs of the ancient Incas.Dr. Cabrera, continuing his father's work, has collected more than 1,100 of theseandesite stones, which, with estimates ranging from 500 to 1500 years, and becameknown as the Ica Stones. The stones bear etchings, many of which are sexually graphic(which was common to the culture), some pictures of idols and others depict such practices as open-heart surgery and brain transplants. The most astonishing etchings, however, clearly represent dinosaurs - brontosaurs, triceratops (see photo), Stegosaurus and pterosaurs. While skeptics consider the Ica Stones a hoax, theirauthenticity has neither been proved or disproved.

Giant Stone Balls of Costa Rica


Workers hacking and burning their way through the dense jungle of Costa Rica to clearan area for banana plantations in 1930, stumbled upon some incredible objects: dozens of stone balls, many of which were completely spherical. They varied in size from as small as a tennis ball to an amazing 8 feet in diameter and weighing 16 tons! Although the great stone balls are clearly man-made, it is unknown who made ​​them, for whatpurpose and, most puzzling, how they achieved such spherical precision.


Oera Linda Book


Oera Linda Book controversial Frisian manuscript on the historical, mythological andreligious themes, which first came to light in the 19 century. Topics passes through OeraLinda Book include catastrophism, nationalism, matriarchy, and mythology. text arguesthat Europe and other lands, for most of its history, ruled consistently popular motherspresiding hierarchical order of celibate priestesses of the goddess Frya, daughter of the supreme god of Wr-Alda and Irtha, Mother Earth. claim also that it is Frisian civilizationpossessed an alphabet, which was the ancestor of Greek and Phoenician alphabet.current manuscript bears the date 1256. Internal requirements, suggest that the copiesof old manuscripts, which, if true, would have been written by several people between2194 BC and BC 803.

Impossible Fossils


Fossils, as we learned in grade school, appear in rocks that were formed many thousands of years ago. However, there are a number of fossils that just do not makegeological or historical sense. A fossil of a human hand print, for example, was found inlimestone estimated to be 110 million years ago. What seems to be fossilized humanfinger found in the Canadian Arctic also dates back to 100 to 110 million years ago.And that seems to be a fossil of a human may need to be wearing sandals, was foundnear Delta, Utah in a shale deposit estimated at 300 million to 600 million years.

Out-of-Place Metal Objects


People were not even around 65 million years ago, not to mention people who couldwork metal. So how to explain the science of semi-ovoid metallic tubes dug out of the65-million-year-old Cretaceous chalk in France? In 1885, the block of coal was broken open to find a metal cube obviously worked by intelligent hands. In 1912, employees ofpower collapsed a large piece of coal, from which fell an iron pot! nail was foundembedded in a sandstone block from the Mesozoic era. There are many, many moresuch anomalies.


Ark Of The Covenant


The Ark is the greatest of all treasures and its discovery will give an indisputable truththat the Old Testament is hard fact. Its restoration is goal of every modern archaeologistand adventurer. His aim was, as a container for the Ten Commandments, the data onstone tablets by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. According to the book of Exodus, the ark made ​​of acacia wood (similar to the acacia) and gold-coated inside and out. Hewas crowned with a cap consisting of two cherubs are also made of gold. It was believed that supernatural powers because of several events, including the infliction ofthe death of a man who tried to steady the ark, as oxen carriage he tripped, reducing thewalls of Jericho in a single battle, and the soul of misery to the Philistines after theycaptured it in another. There are several speculations about the last resting place of the ark, and while it will take a shrewd operator, to find him, he must brave, even recklessman, to open it!


Angel Hair


Angel hair is a rare phenomenon, which until now has defied explanation. It consists ofsilk, the rain on the ground, but turn to touch her, and she will almost certainly disappearbefore your eyes. This phenomenon is worldwide with the most regularly occur in NorthAmerica, New Zealand, Australia and Western Europe. There is no known evidence thatthe causes of this matter, or even what it consists of. Speculation is that it came fromspiders or other type of silk-spinning insects, and even a UFO, as it often was associated with UFOs. Due to the sensitive nature, it was difficult to gather and analyzehow it is subject to contamination by exhaust fumes of cars, and even contact with someone who can distort the results of the chemical.


Piri Reis Map


Map of Piri Reis is known in advance the modern world map created 16 th centuryOttoman-Turkish admiral and cartographer Piri Reis. The map shows the western coastof Europe and North Africa with reasonable accuracy, and the coast of Brazil is alsoeasily recognizable. Various islands of the Atlantic including the Azores and the CanaryIslands are depicted as the mythic island Antillia. Map mention his image of the southern continent that some controversial statement indicates an early awareness of the existence of Antarctica. Some scholars argue that this and other maps support thetheory of global exploration of undiscovered pre-classical civilization.
