What Is Mystery?
Kryptos
1/19/2015
Kryptos is an encrypted sculpture by the American artist, Jim Sanborn, that is located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley, Virginia.
The name Kryptos comes from the Greek word for "hidden", and the theme of the sculpture is "intelligence gathering.“
Out of Four 3 has been Solved .But one remain unsolved yet
Tamam Shud Case
1/19/2015
The Taman ShudCase, also known as the Mystery of the Somerton Man, is an unsolved case of an unidentified man found dead at 6:30 a.m., 1 December 1948, on Somerton beach in Adelaide, South Australia. It is named after a phrase, tamamshud, meaning "ended" or "finished" in Persian on a scrap of the final page of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam found in the hidden pocket of the man's trousers.
Bermuda triangle
1/21/2015
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as
the Devil's Triangle, is a loosely defined region
in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean,
where a number of aircraftand ships are said to
have disappeared under mysterious
circumstances. According to the US Navy, the
triangle does not exist, and the name is not
recognized by the US Board on Geographic
Names.[1] Popular culture has attributed various
disappearances to the paranormal or activity by
extraterrestrial beings.
Moitius Statues of Island
1/19/2015
Moai or mo‘ai, are monolithic human figures
carved by
the Rapa Nui people from rock on the Chilean
Polynesian island of Easter Island between the
years 1250 and 1500.
Giant stone balls of Costa Rica
1/19/2015
Workmen hacking and burning their way through
the dense jungle of Costa Rica to clear an area
for banana plantations in the 1930s stumbled
upon some incredible objects: dozens of stone
balls, many of which were perfectly spherical.
They varied in size from as small as a tennis ball
to an astonishing 8 feet in diameter and weighing
16 tons!
Although the great stone balls are clearly man-
made, it is unknown who made them, for what
purpose and, most puzzling, how they achieved
such spherical precision.
Green children of Woolpit
1/19/2015
The legend of the green children of Woolpit concerns
two children of unusual skin colour who reportedly appeared
in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England, some time in
the 12th century, perhaps during the reign of King Stephen.
The Crystal Skulls
1/19/2015
No, the mystery of the Crystal Skulls isn’t just a made-up Hollywood legend for Indiana Jones to solve. A total of thirteen crystal skulls have been found in South America since 1881. The extremely valuable skulls have passed hands many times, but their true origin is unknown.
The Shroud of Turin
1/19/2015
The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth with the image of a man who many believe to be Jesus.
There are many disputes about the actual origin of the cloth. Some believe it was the actual cloth placed on the body of Jesus when he was buried. Others believe that the artifact was created in the Middle Ages, because its carbon dating age is between 1260 and 1390.
Stone Henge
1/19/2015
Stonehenge, located in Salisbury Plain in England, is one of the most fascinating monuments of all time. The site, which was built over a time period of 6400 years, consists of 30 giant upright stones and 30 immense horizontal stones placed on top. Each individual stone weighs about six tons.
The Belmez Faces
1/19/2015
In 1971, in the small Spanish village of Belmez,
Maria Pereira claimed a human face
spontaneously appeared on her cement kitchen
floor. It wasn't long before she destroyed the floor
and replaced it - and a new face promptly
appeared.
More and more faces continued to appear on the
floor of Maria Pereira's kitchen, attracting
thousands of visitors every day. Some were male,
some female, some large, and some small. In
time, she discovered that the house, built around
1830, apparently stood above a graveyard used
by the Romans, Spanish Muslims and then
Medieval Christians.
1/19/2015
But did Maria Pereira just paint the faces herself?
If so, she never benefited financially from all the
attention. She lived a simple life in that same
house and eventually died in 2004.
Paranormal fans suggest that the faces were
manifested on the floor by telekinesis. This notion
was based on the absurdly unscientific claim that
the expressions on their faces used to change
with the mood of Maria Pereira.
Finally, modern technology has saved the day for
this unexplained mystery
Who was D.B. Cooper?
1/19/2015
How hard is it to dislike this guy? On November
21, 1971, in Portland, Oregon, a man calling
himself Dan Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 en
route to Seattle by discreetly flashing a bomb to
the stewardess and handing her a note. On
landing, as the other passengers disembarked
without any clue of Cooper’s intentions,
authorities met his demands of $200,000 in cash
and a set of parachutes. The 727 then took off
following Cooper’s instructions and, shortly
thereafter, he leapt from the plane into a stormy
night. Since then, few clues have surfaced
concerning the crime
1/19/2015
. A boy found some of Cooper’s cash along a riverbank and, recently, the FBI thought his parachute had been found, but it turned out not to be the case. One man emerged as a suspect after he died, since on his death bed he told his wife, “I’m D.B. Cooper.” She told the Discovery Channel’s Unsolved History that his confession, true or not, had ruined her life. If Cooper died in the jump, which the FBI contends, his remains won’t be found as Mount St. Helens covered the region with ash in 1980.
Taos Hum
1/19/2015
The Taos Hum is perhaps the best-known among a handful of very low-frequency “humming” sounds that people have reported hearing in various parts of the world, including the UK, North America and New Zealand. Questions persist about its origins, that maybe it’s paranormal or that it may be the sound of the universe expanding. Curiously, the most sensitive acoustic devices -- far more sensitive than the clumsy human ear -- typically fail to pick up a note of humming. While local investigators have succeeded in tracing the source in some cases.For instance, the Kokomo Hum in Kokomo, Indiana, proved to be coming from a Chrysler plant. Could it be that it’s just all in our heads? After all, the regional "hums" and the symptoms reported by sufferers are so varied and often so contradictory that the source of the noise may be our imaginations.
Assassination Of John F kennedy
1/19/2015
The assassination of President Kennedy lands at
No. 1 not because it is one of the great unsolved
mysteries of our time, but because of its
unmatched cultural impact. For many people --
who were alive at the time and who were not born
yet -- President Kennedy represented something
truly larger than life. Consequently it was, and still
remains, nearly impossible for them to imagine a
giant like JFK being killed by a loser with a scope
and a view.
1/19/2015
vAmong the many testaments to this is the
remarkably desperate diligence of conspiracy
theorists, who can ignore 2,999 pages of
declassified CIA documents and focus on a single
line from page 3,000, and build a complicated
theory of a mob hit or a Cuban connection.
The inability to accept the theory of a lone
gunman, and the ability to believe in any other
scenario despite the lack of even a trace of
conclusive evidence, is the greater mystery here
because it hints at something mysterious,
remarkably fragile and even endearing about the
human psyche.
Antelope Springs Footprint
1/19/2015
On June 1, 1968, amateur fossil hunter William J. Meister Sr. took his family on a trip to Antelope Springs. Meister couldn’t take off his fossil-hunting jacket, though, and went in search of trilobite fossils. He eventually found a fossil with what looked like a shoe imprint, the heel digging in deeper than the rest of the foot. Below the imprint, he found two trilobite fossils. Meister immediately thought that the person wearing the shoes had stepped onto the fossils.
Taking it for examination, Meister and fellow researchers dated the fossil at almost 600 million years old and determined it was likely formed in Middle Cambrian Wheeler Shale. When they explored the area, they discovered slabs of mudstone that had, once upon a time, formed an entire land area.
1/19/2015
The mystery, however, is that while the shoe print
clearly indicates someone standing or stepping
on the trilobites, there is no evidence indicating
any pressure on the trilobites themselves. Also,
the trilobites were marine creatures, meaning that
whoever created the shoe print had entered their
area. Why exactly, nobody knows.
The Panxian Dadong Caves
1/19/2015
The Panxian Dadong Caves are known to have
housed humans 300,000 years ago. It is also known
that large animals inhabited the vicinity of the caves
as well. Scientists, however, were extremely surprised
to find prehistoric deposits indicating massive
stegodons and rhinoceros also lived, or at least died,
inside the caves. They found this very strange, seeing
as how the caves are 1,600 meters (5,250 ft) above
sea level.
Paleoanthropologist Lynne Schepartz stated how rare
is is to find animals in a cave that don’t typically live in
them. She believed that stegodons and rhinos were
very unlikely to simply wander into the cave. Rhinos,
in particular, are solitary animals that graze on their
own. And yet, here lie their remains.
1/19/2015
One theory involves carnivorous animals killing
the mammals and dragging them into the cave.
The most likely answer, though, would be human
intervention. Inspection of the bones showed that
they were burnt and then pounded by what could
only have been a tool made out of stone.
The last expedition to the cave took place in
1998. To date, no further progress has been
made in determining just exactly how those large
animals got into the cave at all.
Ever burning Lamps
1/19/2015
Lamps that kept on burning without using any fuel
were discovered all over the world during the
Middle Ages. These lamps were sealed into
tombs, supposedly to ensure the deceased had
light to guide them on their way to the afterlife.
Some of these tombs were opened years later,
and the lamps were still burning.
Superstitious types became terrified of this
phenomenon, destroying any ever-burning lamp
they came across. People accused pagan priests
of trickery. Others simply refused to believe that a
lamp could burn for an indefinite period of time.
The vast majority claimed that the Devil was to
blame.
1/19/2015
Speculation was also rife that Hebrew communities
had discovered and preserved what today is known
as electricity. According to the legend, a French rabbi
named Jechiele possessed a lamp that could light up
by itself, with no fuel or wick. Jechiele, according to
this tale, invented a special button that would
discharge an electric current to his metal door
knocker. If someone touched the door knocker at the
same time the rabbi touched the nail, the person
would receive a shock and double over.
Even with electricity being a common thing nowadays,
all who have tried to replicate the ever-burning lamps
have failed. Therefore the question remains: How
were these lamps able to keep burning for hundreds
of years without fuel?
