The main mysteries of world history. The most complex riddles in the world Why did the plague "mow down" Europe

Incredible Facts

These mysteries still raise questions from scientists and researchers.

1. Holes in the ground on Yamal in Siberia

In July 2015, a 100-meter crater appeared on the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia. Despite the fact that a team of researchers was sent there in November 2015, the reason remained unknown. Since then, two more craters have opened in the Tazovsky district and on the Taimyr Peninsula.

There is an assumption that the formation of dips in the ground is associated with a gas explosion or an eruption from within the permafrost.

2. Walrus at St. Pancras


The walrus at St. Pancras was discovered by archaeologists in the old church of St. Pancras in 2003. This site was used for a mass grave due to a series of epidemics in the early 19th century.

One of the graves contained the remains of eight people, along with the bones of a Pacific walrus.

Scientists have not been able to find an explanation for how the remains of the walrus got there.

3. D. B. Cooper


In 1971, a man known only by the name D.B. Cooper boarded a Boeing 727-100 at Portland International Airport. The flight, which took place on Thanksgiving Day, was bound for Seattle. During the flight, Cooper gave the flight attendant a note saying he had a bomb, demanding $200,000 and four parachutes.

The flight was delayed by two hours to give the FBI time to collect the ransom and parachutes.

The plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, and once all of Cooper's demands were met, the passengers were released except for one flight attendant. Cooper ordered the pilots to take off again and head for Mexico City. On the way, he jumped out and disappeared.

4. Invasion of the Air by Max Headroom


During the airing of an episode of the television series "Doctor Who", the signal of the television station was interrupted and a man in the mask of Max Headroom appeared on the screen, who made inarticulate sounds.

The reason for this and the identity of the masked man remains unknown, although there are several theories.

The shutdown lasted just over 90 seconds and occurred on November 22, 1987, which some attribute to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on the same day in 1963.

Earlier that day in 1987, the same person silently interrupted a news program on another television channel.

5 Meat Rain in Kentucky


In the spring of 1876, in Bath County, Kentucky, pieces of meat fell from the sky within minutes, as reported in several major media outlets. According to some eyewitnesses of the event, the meat tasted like lamb.

There is speculation that the phenomenon is related to nostoc, a type of cyanobacteria present in the ground that swell into a jelly mass when it rains.

6. The Man in the Iron Mask


You may have heard about this story in the book and movies, but the historical truth about this man may seem even stranger.

For more than three centuries, people are still trying to figure out the identity of a man who was mysteriously imprisoned and forced to wear a mask to hide his identity.

7 Hinterkaifeck Farm Incident


This incident has all the hallmarks of a horror movie: a strange house in the village, complaints about ghosts, footsteps in the attic and, finally, the brutal murder of an entire family by an unknown person.

This crime remains one of the most mysterious in the history of Germany.

8. Real night hunter


The unidentified serial killer, also known as the "golden state hitman" and "rapist from the east," committed a string of crimes in Sacramento County over the course of a decade, including robbing more than 120 homes, raping 45 people, and killing 12.

It is known that he called the victims in advance, and sometimes after, mocking them.

It is believed that the perpetrator of these crimes is still alive, and the FBI recently launched a campaign in the hope of finding a man who managed to avoid justice for so long.

9. Hum


We really appreciate the silence when it disappears, especially when it comes to some incomprehensible sounds.

A hum is a constant low frequency noise heard by people in different parts of the world from the UK to New Zealand. At the same time, the source of the sound cannot be explained.

10. Ship "Mary Celeste"


The Mary Celeste is one of the most famous examples of ghost ships, a ship with a crew that disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

The ship was found abandoned off the coast of Portugal, leading to much speculation as to what happened to her crew.

11. Signal "Wow!" 1977


Signal "Wow!" is a radio signal that got its name from astronomer Jerry Eyman, who discovered it by writing "Wow!" on its printout.

The unexplained radio signal is believed to indicate the existence of extraterrestrial beings. Despite many attempts, the signal was never received again.

12. Tarrare


Tarrare was an 18th-century Frenchman famous for his strange eating habits and voracious appetite.

During the performances, he ate stones, live animals and a whole basket of apples, but he never satisfied his appetite. Despite his gluttony, he was of average weight.

13. Silent twins


Twins June and Jennifer Gibbons were born in Wales in the 60s and did not communicate with other people, talking only to each other and sometimes in a way that was not clear to everyone else.

The story got even weirder when the twins grew up and ended up in a psychiatric hospital. They had an agreement that if one of them died, the other should start talking to the rest of the people. Jennifer soon died suddenly from acute myocarditis, but doctors could not detect any signs of poison or drugs in her system, and her death remains a mystery.

After her death, June, as agreed, began to communicate with others.

14. Tunguska meteorite


On June 30, 1908, there was a major explosion in the Podkamennaya Tunguska area. The nearest city was 60 km away, but still felt the effects. The explosion produced 85 times more energy than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and leveled about 80 million trees.

Although the destruction is believed to have been the result of a meteorite impact, no impact crater has been found, leading to many hypotheses.

15. Cicada 3301


Every year since 2012, a secret organization puzzles the Internet by anonymously publishing complex puzzles online. Whether this is some kind of tactic of the secret services or hackers, or the tricks of some kind of cult, is still not known.

16. Green Children of Woolpit


This event took place in 12th century England when two green-skinned children visited the village of Woolpit. They spoke a strange language and claimed to have come from the underworld where other green people live.

17. Voynich Manuscript


The Voynich Manuscript is a manuscript written in an unknown language with an unknown alphabet, containing diagrams and drawings, dating from around the 15th century. Researchers have been trying to decipher the strange book for centuries, but they have never been able to do it.

18. Case of Taman Shud


The Taman Shud case involves the discovery of a dead man on the coast of Australia. He did not have a passport and could not be identified. An autopsy showed that he had been poisoned, but there were no traces of poison.

The case became even more confusing when, 4 months after death, an expert examined the body of a man. In his pocket he found a small piece of paper with the inscription "Taman Shud".

These were the last words in the collection of poems "Rubaiyat" by Omar Khayyam, which translates as "completed". A piece of paper was torn from a book that was in a car near the beach. The book contained the nurse's phone numbers and a coded message that the police could not decipher.

The nurse said she had given the book to a man named Albert Boxall. Some time later, however, Boxall reappeared alive and had the same book with the last words.

19. Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370


One of the unsolved mysteries remains Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8, 2014. There were 277 passengers and 12 crew members on board the international flight from Malaysia to Beijing. The last contact with ground services was made less than an hour after takeoff, and the plane itself disappeared from the radar screens a few minutes later.

Military radar followed the plane for an hour after the incident, watching it veer off course until it disappeared into the Andaman Sea.

There were no distress calls, bad weather warnings, or reports of technical problems. The plane is believed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, but the wreckage has never been found. Disappearance theories range from black holes to alien abductions.

20. Serial killer Zodiac


The Zodiac is one of the most famous unsolved murders in history. In 1969, he killed at least five people in San Francisco.

Zodiac himself sent coded letters to newspapers and confessed to several murders, but he was never found. Several suspects have been interviewed, but the crime remains unsolved.

A riddle is a metaphorical expression in which one object is expressed by means of another, which has some, even remote, similarity with it; on the basis of the latter, a person must guess the intended object.

In ancient times, a riddle was a means of testing wisdom, now it is a popular pastime. Riddles are found among all peoples, no matter what stage of development they are at. A proverb and a riddle differ in that the riddle must be guessed, and the proverb is a lesson. Material from Wikipedia. We bring to your attention the 15 most difficult riddles in the world.

Deep-sea submersibles and 3D bottom scanning techniques have made it possible to discover many of the mysteries of the ocean. But we still know no more about the underwater world than about space.

circles perfect

The American oceanographer T.F. Gaskell predicted the presence of symmetrical and regular shapes on the ocean floor as early as the 1940s. Modern robotic drones, such as the Seaglider, confirm this conjecture of the scientist. The bottom of the world's oceans is covered with seamounts, extinct volcanoes, fissures and objects of unknown origin.

The unusual shapes of seamounts have often given scientists reason to doubt the natural origin of guyots. So, it has not yet been established where the huge circles found on the seabed in Belize, Central America and off the coast of Florida came from. According to one version, they may be the ruins of ceremonial buildings of extensive burials, built around 8 thousand years BC.

Cambay riddle

In 2001, submariners found traces of an ancient city in the Gulf of Cambay in the Indian state of Gujaray. Studies show that the age of the raised artifacts is nine thousand years.

The ruins testify to a high level of civilization, and a drainage system, a granary and water tanks were found here. And the houses themselves were not built randomly, but in accordance with the plan.

The origin of this underwater city has not yet been unraveled, it is even considered an underwater anomaly.

Oceanologists of the mid-20th century suggested that there could be an ancient country called Austronesida. The Cambay underwater city was located on its border, and therefore survived.

Zoogeographer I. I. Puzanov even described the chronology of the subsidence of this territory. “Some originality of the animal population of Java is explained by the fact that it was the first to separate from the Malay land, moreover, its connection with Borneo was first broken, then with Sumatra. Borneo received some forms of its fauna from the Philippines, but, separating from Java, did not have time to get either a tiger or a leopard from India, Puzanov explains, and adds that the famous ancestor of man Pithecanthropus could penetrate the continuous land bridge to Java.

The culprit of this disaster was a giant volcano, like the modern Krakatoa.

Japanese Yonaguni Monument

The Yonaguni monument off the coast of Japan was discovered in 1987 and immediately became the subject of a cult dispute between archaeologists and scientists.

Some argue that this object was built and decorated by man. According to the Japanese scientist Teruaki Ishi, the titanic underwater terrace dates back to the 10th millennium BC (the rock terraces of Sacsayhuaman are given as an analogue). Opponents categorically deny the involvement of people and insist on the natural nature of the monument, arguing, "we see what we want to see."
Critics try on another version: the monument belongs to the so-called "terra-formations", that is, the original natural "base" was later changed and finalized by human hands.

Cuban underwater city

The Cambay Mystery and the Yonaguni Monument may not seem as sensational as the complex of underwater structures that was discovered off the coast of Cuba in 2001.

For oceanologists, archaeologists and historians, the find turned out to be truly shocking, since it was located at a depth of 700 meters. Studies show that it took at least 50,000 years for the surface of the earth in this place to sink to such a depth.

The photographs taken by surveyors clearly show the correct forms of buildings, which unequivocally speak of non-natural origin. At the same time, it is too early to unequivocally state that they were built by man. Unfortunately, there is no scientific explanation for this riddle.

Interesting fact: The Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies declared the discovery heretical and does not recommend further research in such archeology, predicting that this city will turn out to be a natural formation

Baikal rings

Let's return from Cuba to Russia - to Baikal. Baikal phenomenon - rings with a diameter of 5-7 km, first discovered on the ice of the lake in the spring of 1999.

Specialists of Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Rosgeolfond" made an assumption that these rings appeared before, but were not fixed due to ice and their dimensions. “Dark rings on the Baikal ice are characterized by anomalously large sizes,” Rosgeolfond stated. Having started space monitoring through the UniScan station, he revealed that they appear irregularly and tend to move. In particular, in April 2009 they were observed already to the west of the Lower Izgolovye cape of the Svyatoy Nos peninsula.

So far, scientists explain this anomaly by emissions of bottom methane, but there is no unambiguous opinion about the nature of mysterious circles.

Okhotia

Oceanologists are also interested in Okhotia, a country that was at the bottom of the modern Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Archaeologist Ruslan Vasilevsky wrote in his monograph “The Origin and Ancient Culture of the Koryaks”: “The culture created here “was a kind of intermediary between the intracontinental cultures and the cultures of marine hunters of the Pacific North, was part of the area of ​​the initial formation of the northeastern Paleo-Asians, and represented one of the links of the cultural chain marine St. John's wort, stretching from California to the Japanese islands. There is reason to believe that in the northern part of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk there was an independent center for the development of the coastal economy.

According to the archaeologist, Okhotia developed in the waters of a single river system - the Paleoamur, which has partially survived to this day. Oceanologists believe that this civilization died several thousand years ago as a result of the rapid sinking of this territory.

antarctic bridge

According to some oceanologists, the largest natural bridge in the world was the Antarctic Bridge, connecting New Zealand, Australia and South America. It was based on the Macquarie, Balleny, and Maorida ranges. It is believed that it was partly flooded after the end of the last ice age, and partly submerged as a result of tectonic processes.

The famous geologist Gillooly wrote about this, who discovered that "the ancient flora of Macquarie (Tasmania, Australia) is undoubtedly related to the pre-glacial flora of Antarctica."

French ethnographer, anthropologist and director of the "Museum of Man" Paul Rive also recorded amazing similarities in appearance and culture between the inhabitants of the South American mainland and the natives of Melanesia. At the same time, there are opponents of this version. However, both of them call the Antarctic Bridge one of the amazing mysteries of the underwater world.

Coming up with a riddle is a creative task for the development of children in elementary school. Schoolchildren analyze, compare, contrast properties, features, signs of various objects, phenomena, animals, etc.

Composing riddles on your own is a very exciting process that children adore. They are happy to prepare such homework in the world around them or other subjects in grades 1-3 of elementary school. Children especially like to come up with riddles about animals, about the seasons, about birds and plants. Below are riddles invented by students for one of these lessons.
