TOP 5 UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF 2022 | The UnXplained

At the bottom of our planet lies the frozen land of Antarctica, the coldest and most inhospitable continent in the world, stretching over 5 million square miles. Antarctica is covered by ice sheets that break up more than a mile deep. The average daily temperature is negative 49 degrees Fahrenheit and wind speeds can reach over 100 miles per hour currently. The only inhabitants of this arid landscape are scientists working at research stations spread across the continent. Traditional geologists have long believed that ancient humans never settled in Antarctica due to its hostile climate, but incredibly in 2016 satellite images. revealed a curious formation emerging from the ice that some researchers believe could be a man-made pyramid recently there have been a number of reports of enormous pyramids Great Pyramids in Antarctica that jut out of the ice and snow and look perfect like those in Egypt, but they dwarf those of Egypt, such as the Great Pyramid, which has a perfectly square base of two square kilometers in each direction.

Is it possible, therefore, that our ancestors actually reached the Antarctic continent and perhaps even established a man-made pyramid there beneath the Antarctic Ice? If such an incredible notion is true, then some questions naturally arise: how is it possible? built such a massive structure in Antarctica, when was it made and by whom, geologists have told us, Antarctica has been under ice for many millions of years; However, there is evidence that it could have been free advice, certainly in certain areas until perhaps 4000 BC. There are a lot of Polynesian stories of so-called cultural heroes who came to the Antarctic continent.

A French academic named Argo put all of these together. Different stories in the book titled Out of Antarctica, the stories of the Polynesian people describe This Strange Land where these white rocks that come out of the water with their icebergs and other creatures like seals and penguins and seem to describe an area that we now know as Antarctica. The Polynesians believed this was the place of the ancestors and said this is where we originally came from. Why did they believe this? If this was not true. Is it really possible that the coldest place on Earth was once warm enough for human habitation?

In 2017, German geologists collected core samples from deep beneath Antarctica's frozen seafloor to analyze what the continent's climate might have been like thousands of years ago. What they discovered was surprising, in the case of that expedition at the beginning of 2017 we used a very special seabed. drilling equipment that had not been used before in Antarctica, so when we used this special drilling equipment and the sediments came up, we immediately saw over 60 different taxa of plants similar to something you would find in a rainforest in a regime of temperature that was similar to what we know today in northern Italy and discovering that on the Antarctic continent was the most exciting because the current climatic conditions do not allow any vegetation to survive in those conditions.

So, based on that location and the environment we found, I believe that the Antarctic continent and the secrets that have yet to be recovered will tell us a lot about planet Earth Cairo Egypt a plateau just a few kilometers west of the Nile River is believed to be is home to the Giza Necropolis, perhaps the most famous collection of ruins in the entire world. These limestone monuments, which were built during the Fourth Dynasty of ancient Egypt around 2550 BC. C., attract thousands of tourists every day, who come to marvel at the immense pyramids, forbidden tombs and a mysterious stone sentinel known as the Sphinx.

I think it can be argued that the Sphinx is the most recognizable statue anywhere in the world its scale is immense it is a single piece of stone it is cut from the natural rock of the Giza Plateau the Sphinx measures 240 feet long 66 feet high and 62 feet wide for thousands of years this enormous statue has been an object of fascination and awe, but even after centuries of study, the Sphinx holds many secrets that archaeologists are still trying to unravel. The Sphinx that we know today has things from the Great Pyramids of Giza. It is the most famous of all the sphinxes, but there are all sphinxes.

In ancient Egypt there are smaller sphinxes, there is an avenue full of sphinxes between the temples, but the Great Sphinx of Giza is something very different, it is a single sculpture, it is located in a very particular place, it does not seem to have fulfilled the same function absolutely. what this was for is what we really want to know no one has understood exactly what it means because for literally thousands of years the Sphinx was buried up to its neck and in sand, so it's just a head sticking out of the sand for much of his life.

In history there is a very famous painting of Emperor Napoleon standing in front of the Sphinx, still buried at this point up to his shoulders. You might think what Napoleon has to do with Egypt and the sphinx. Well, in fact, Napoleon led an invasion of Egypt in 1798, which had a huge impact on Europe by raising awareness and interest in ancient Egyptian sites, it was not until the 1920s that a team of archaeologists led by the engineer Emir Barrez managed to unearth the Sphinx from the Desert Sands and they were able to expose it and Sembramos to reveal for the first time in centuries that this was not just the head of a disembodied head but a complete sculpture of the Sphinx and this is a decisive moment for us to understand that Sphinx archaeologists and gypologists like me believe that her Sphinx was sculpted around 2500 BC by King Catherine as part of her funerary complex, but many scholars disagree about these things and there are many

mysteries

around When was the Sphinx actually sculpted?

One of the most important documents we have to do with the diet of the Sphinx is the thief's inventory. This is a memorial stone that actually records details of how Pharaoh Khufu repaired the Sphinx after it was struck by lightning. The significance of this is that Kufu arrived before Cafe, the pharaoh who is conventionally said to have built the swings. Stella's inventory. It has an inscription that dates back to about 4,600 years ago and that inscription says that the Sphinx is a much older structure that the Egyptians adopted, repaired and venerated based on the inscriptions in the inventory of Stila, there are some archaeologists who believe that the Sphinx is so old that it could predate any record of human history known to exist, and some researchers are convinced that physical evidence of the Sphinx's true age can be found in the structure itself.

The first time I visited the Sphinx was in the summer of 1990, in my early years. The Sphinx studies looked at the erosion features on the body of the Sphinx and compared them to other erosion features right on the Giza Plateau and what I found was that the body of the Sphinx and the walls of the Sphinx enclosure are worn differently than everything else. On the Giza Plateau, the rest of the plateau shows classic wind erosion, but what is in the Sphinx is water that resists precipitation and this does not make sense when the Sphinx sits on the edge of the Sahara Desert, which has been a completely dry desert for literally thousands of years so what I concluded is that the body of the Sphinx and therefore the original Statue had to go back to the pre-Saharan era when there was a much milder climate, much more humidity, much more rain and it has to go back not just a little bit from that period, but quite a bit back, given that we have an incredible amount of weathering and erosion on the Sphinx.

I now believe it dates back to the end of the last ice age, around 10,000 BC. C.. I am convinced that it is a the ruins of the predynastic agent Cincinnati Ohio, on the outskirts of the city, are the normal suburban street in an ordinary neighborhood, it is the home of Greg and Dana Newkirk. From the outside, his house isn't much different from any other house on the block, but inside it contains something. Quite extraordinary because there is a room in the basement that is filled with a collection of strange objects sent by people from all over the world that are believed to be cursed.

Greg and I lead a normal life and live our lives the same way everyone else does we are just caretakers of very strange objects the way we started collecting cursed objects was a complete accident it was not something we ever set out to do I would never have Imagined doing this that we were just interested in general rarities, my wife and I researched all kinds of high rarities and we were both very interested in the idea of ​​cursed items, we slowly gained a reputation for being people particularly good at this, so every time someone had a problem with a device they would come to us and say: I don't know what to do with this.

This is affecting my life. Could you take it off my hands? It would be easier to give it to you and let you deal with it, so we built this collection. of very strange things, visitors to the Newkirk house receive ample warning that the basement is full of cursed objects. We have a lot of haunted robes, but interestingly every day the new Kirks receive requests from people eager to see their cursed collection. You'd think with cursed items you want to avoid them, but there's an appeal when an item is said to be cursed. Another word you could use is special.

Is special. If this chair is cursed, it is different from all the other chairs in the world. That makes it unique, it makes it interesting and that catches our attention every time and the fact that that particularity is that it hurts people that it appeals to a certain macabre streak that we all have as human beings people think that cursed objects are a kind of fun and creepy, but working with them feels a lot less about that and a lot more about that kind of huge responsibility of keeping some of these objects with us under lock and key and maybe out of the wrong hands and maybe in a place that be safer. not just for everyone else but for them.

Kirk's collection includes several objects believed to have the power to inflict damage to anyone who approaches them. This is the cursed deer skull that we drove to Nashville to pick up from a woman who saw this. at an antique store and took it back to his office and almost immediately his employees started getting sick, one of his employees got hit by a car and then the wall he was hanging on fell down and took out half the building . certain objects specifically in our Museum that without people knowing why they feel the way they do, they will definitely have heart palpitations anxiety, we have had people almost faint, we have had people vomit, we have had people with dry heat, people have very visceral physical reactions to being close to some of the objects Among the cursed objects in Kirk's new collection is a deadly ring that is said to kill anyone who wears it, a Bible used during an exorcism failed and a doll that is believed to spread disease wherever it is found. he says, but of all the cursed objects and eucharists they've come across, there's one that's so heartbreaking that they refuse to keep it in his collection.

It is a disturbing wooden effigy known as the Chrome. Chromium is truly the definition of a type of cursed item. It is a carved statue of a woman, someone at some point took this object and placed the rope and nails on it that were given to us by some hikers who found it in the Catskills, off the beaten path and in a cave, they took it home and Initially they began to experience really scary things, their animals were behaving strangely, they were finding wet footprints on the ground and they didn't know what to do. Someone we had previously worked with put them in touch with us and after finding out, we had some communication with them.

They sent us to the Witch people who would approach the Witch would be overwhelmed with anxiety. This guy came all the way from Canada to come see the Witch. He begged us to take it out of the box almost immediately. He put his eyes white. on the back of her head and she starts bleeding from her mouth and she has a violent seizure and the paramedics have to get her out and that's when Dan and I looked at each other and said we have to do something about it. This got to a point where the Crone was too dangerous for even us to take on bringing her back to the Catskills, which is where she is from to remove the Crohn's curse.

The trainer's new plan was to return to the area where she was originally. found by two hikers many years earlier, at which time they removed the nails embedded in Chrome in a cleansing ritual. We wanted to bring it back and every time they removed a nail the intention was for us to remove that curse from the object. He walked for miles in the woods. I established a circle. The idea of ​​establishing a circle was basically to create aenergetic space to contain this ritual. The whole time we were doing this we heard footsteps, strange sounds that weren't animals around.

In our Circle we couldn't see anything, we were absolutely terrified, but we began to perform the ritual. I pulled out the nails as soon as that happens, we felt this almost electric pop in the air when we were done, all the coyotes on the mountain started howling and the ritual was over and what we were looking at was just a block of wood and we just knew that We had done what we were going to do there in the lower Jordan River valley, they rise clearly from the landscape, but this is no ordinary ridge because it is buried.

Beneath layers of earth and rock lie the ruins of an ancient city dating back almost 4,000 years. Modern archaeologists have named the site from satellite images. It is long and narrow. It measures approximately one mile from end to end. We believe that up to 50,000 people occupied the city according to experts. It is shrouded in mystery, we do not know what it was called in ancient times or who lived there, but in recent years some archaeologists have theorized that such elham are actually the ruins of the biblical city of Sodom in Genesis you have these cities Sodom and Gomorrah and there is evil, there is inequity in the city, but then God decides no, this city is doing some kind of horrible things, so I'm literally going to rain down fire, brimstone, I'm going to destroy this city.

God said that's enough fire. and a fiery stone came out of the heavens of Yahweh and consumed the city. In fact, the Bible says that every person, crop, plant, tree, twig, anything that was alive, was destroyed. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah is fascinating and is intended as a metaphor to understand oh, when human beings do not do what they should do this is what God does to destroy us it is the power of God manifested it is an act of God the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has long been associated with the wrath of God until recently many scholars thought the story was just a myth, so why don't some experts believe it could be the remains of the city of Sodom?

There is more geographic data in the biblical text for the location of Sodom than for any other biblical site. The Bible was very, very clear that it was north and east of the Dead Sea and it was very clear that it was east of Jerusalem and tell it that it matches the geography of the text it matches the time period of the text it matches all possible descriptions of the text describes it The idea that Tyler Lamar matches the location of Sodom in the Bible is intriguing and researchers also claim that there is physical evidence at the site that confirms the biblical description of the destruction of Sodom.

The actual destruction event is recorded in just two verses in Genesis chapter 19 verses 24 and 25. where it talks about the fact that rock and fire came down from heaven and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, one theory is that an incoming meteor or fragment of meteorite exploded over the northern end of the Dead Sea and destroyed the tala hamam. There are numerous surrogates that give a strong indication that an air burst or impact event has occurred. The first is evidence of thermal damage represented through melted building materials and partially melted pottery shards. The second is the emergence and appearance of microspherols, very, very small, spherically shaped pieces of melted mineral grains. and Sands and the third is a high concentration of rare earth elements.

Rare earth elements are very common in asteroids not so common on Earth. The interesting thing is that the middle layer of the high hamam has a really high concentration of salt, it is so salty that many times we excavate ceramics that are simply covered with thick salt crystals, which is quite unusual, why is that layer so salty? Well, it's the same salt found in the Dead Sea, probably because this airburst event will push an enormous amount of dirty water and salt onto the landscape. meteorite explosion in the sky If so and his mom really were Sodom, could such an explosion be the reason why the city is now buried in soil that has a high concentration of salt?

Some experts believe the answer is yes and point to the biblical story of More evidence of the connection between the destruction of Sodom and salt, the story of Sodom essentially begins in Genesis 19, where you have these two angels who look like men traveling to visit to Lot who lives in Sodom and Lot shows them supposedly tremendous hospitality. to be kind to immigrants you are supposed to be kind to foreigners like Lot has done. God has decided to destroy the city for its evil so the Angels grab Lot and his family and when they leave Sodom the Angels give them the order neither. don't even look back and then you have this fascinating detail where it says that Lot's wife turned around and looked back and turned into a pillar of salt.

What could be the meaning of Lot's wife becoming a pillar of salt? This detail from the story supports the theory that a meteorite explosion in the sky buried Sodom and perhaps dirt and salt, but is a meteorite explosion a natural event or is it an act of God? There have been many questions about the fire in Brimstone descending from the heavens right at this moment. It is one of these unexplained

mysteries

and there have been many theories and this probably has something to do with the lack of evidence to prove faith. Many people believe these stories and archeology can confirm them.

I think from the point of view of science as we look at the biblical text and look at the statement that this was fire and burning stone from God fallen from the heavens, if such an event had really occurred, it would have left some evidence, well of course Yes, all of that is confirmed by science and how. Science cannot tell me one way or another if it is an act of God, but the event is confirmed. Pompeii Italy 79 AD At approximately 1 pm on a calm late summer day, this ancient Roman city in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius is shaken by a massive volcanic eruption within minutes of superheated gas and lava engulfing the city and its surroundings by a centimeter and thousands. of people were buried alive as a city that was once their home suddenly becomes their tomb, almost 2,000 years after the eruption.

Pompeii is a city that remains. Frozen in time, this eruption was what we call a pyroclastic eruption where clouds of ash and debris hundreds of degrees hot came flowing down the mountain, blowing away everything in its path and miraculously the heat from this cloud was enough to char and preserve instead of destroy. all kinds of information we have well-preserved architecture wood and organic materials food human remains animal remains that have been preserved for two thousand years under this volcanic rubble today the excavated ruins of Pompeii offer archaeologists and tourists an impressive look at the ancient city condemned as such The most intriguing discovery found beneath the ashes of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius was an ancient Roman structure located not far from Pompeii known as The Villa De Papyrus.

The Villa of Papiri was a luxury Roman villa full of sculptures, marble and bronze. The Villa was discovered. By chance, in 1750, well diggers digging a tunnel of about 75 feet through volcanic debris first struck a colored marble floor with a striking pattern composed of bright red and yellow marbles and we believe it was once the vacation home of a Roman senator of the highest rank from an ancient noble family called Pizzo de Lucius Calpurnia the volcanic ash that buried Villa De Papyri not only preserved the physical structure but also buried a library containing more than 1,800 papyrus squirrels .

These scrolls are an extraordinary record of the thoughts and writings of the people who lived. Almost 2,000 years ago those texts were discovered when the city was excavated and some of the artifacts were found for the first time. The people who discovered them didn't know what they were, they thought maybe they were pieces of branches or trunks because they were rolled up. and charred until someone finally realized that these are texts I am papyrus, the Villa de Papiri Library is very important because it is the only library from Antiquity that is preserved with its contents. Scrolls dating from the third, second and first centuries BC were found. in the first century AD.

About 300 of them have been unrolled and contain mostly philosophical texts, some poetry, some literary criticism, a little history, but many of the scrolls are so tightly bound and charred that there has been a moratorium on attempts to open them for fear of damaging them. The Scrolls left many of them virtually untouched for over a hundred years, but new technology has presented a potential opportunity to read these mysterious ancient texts. Scientists at the University of Kentucky's computer science department have developed a new method known as virtual unwrapping that uses a sophisticated X-ray machine to scan the Scrolls without damaging them.

The virtual unwrapping that we innovated basically allows you to collect 360-degree views of an object rotating in front of an that are broken. Now we're using our software for the second step, which is to trace these wrappers all the way to the end so we can build a 3D model that will allow us to flatten it and then read the text on it once we're done. We have achieved this image on the left, which is the fully unwrapped final version. This is a quote from Democritus, one of the early Greek philosophers and a well-known one. Having postulated with others that materials are made of atoms, it is notable that 2,000 years ago Greek philosophers postulated what we now know to be true thanks to science.

So far, the team has been able to digitally scan two complete scrolls and a number of awaiting fragments. that in the future technology will advance and allow them to reveal even more. What secrets could be contained in those two thousand year old Scrolls. An interesting possibility that has been suggested is that the original letters written by the apostle Paul de Jesús could have been kept within the library. of the papyrus villa The Papyrus Villa was not a tomb some 40 or 50 years after the death of Jesus, at this time the original Apostles are now doing their missionary work in various parts of the Mediterranean, so it is very likely that the Villa of the Papyri The Papyri could have a collection of copies of Paul's letters if the letters of the apostle Paul circulated and reached the collection.

Such a discovery would represent the oldest Christian material we have dating back almost to the time of Christ and his disciples. Using these techniques to understand history in an almost forensic way will bring surprising things and reveal more secrets than we ever imagined before.
