5 archaeological mysteries are never deciphered

Although the scientific community has tried hard, the archaeological findings below are still the mysteries that have not been answered.

Paracas Candelabra

The giant lines on the ground have the Paracas Candelabra name wide 180 and quite close to the area of ​​the famous Nazca lines. However, these lines are most likely not created by the Nazca people. Through ceramic vases found in this area dating back to 200 BC, the possibility of this drawing appears from Paracas culture . People already know who created this drawing and ever since, but the reason they created it is still a mystery to the archaeologists.

Many people think it relates to religion, because the locals consider it the Viracocha's staff , the creative god. Many others think it has a more realistic purpose. Paracas Candelabra is carved on a hill. Its angle and size make it possible to see from 20km away, from the sea. That makes many believe that it is used as a positioning position for sailors.

However, the real reason these drawings were created is still a mystery that has hurt archaeologists.

Zagreb's linen book

This is the longest book written in Etruscan language . This language has a great mark on the world thanks to its influence on Latin, but today it has been forgotten. Only a few ancient libraries use it, so the Zagreb book has not yet been translated to this day. From what was collected in the book, this seems to be a sacrificial calendar , although it was previously thought to describe funeral rituals.

Surprisingly, the book has existed since the 3rd century BC until now. Very rarely, linen books can survive so long, but there is a definite explanation for this. This book survived because it was cut into pieces by the Egyptians and wrapped in mummies. That makes the book very well preserved, but at the same time makes it unexplained for a long time. Even when found, most people assume that the words are Egyptian.

White Shaman rock

The ancient American civilizations still kept a lot of secrets. One of the ways to decode them is to study pictures on rocks. Near the Pecos River (Texas, USA) there is one of the oldest and most important rock paintings - the White Shaman painting. It is a 7m-wide painting with a lifespan of over 4,000 years. It indicates information about an ancient religion that has been forgotten.

There is much controversy about the meaning of the picture. Most archaeologists agree that the picture depicts five human figures in combat or in rituals before the battle. However, an archaeologist said it was a picture depicting people who are connected with the spiritual world.

The death of Alexander the Great

Although one of the most famous and recorded people in the ancient world, there are still many mysteries surrounding his death. Most experts agree on time and place - June 10, 323 BC, at Nebuchadnezzar II's palace in Babylon. However, the cause of his death is still a mystery. For a very long time, Alexander is thought to be poisoned. Suspected people include generals, his wife, younger brother and many others. It was only known that Alexander was suddenly sick and bedridden for 2 weeks with high fever and abdominal pain before he died.

But it is possible that his death was due to illness instead of being harmed. There are still a lot of hypotheses given to explain the symptoms: Hepatitis, pancreatitis, endocarditis or all of these diseases. Recent theories suggest that he is infected with infectious diseases such as typhoid or malaria. Further mystery is that his death was predicted by Chaldeans, who warned that he would die if he went to Babylon. Not only that, Indian philosopher Calanus, who went with Alexander's army, before he died, made an appointment to meet the young king in Babylon, though the army was never directed towards the city.

Emerald stone plate

The emerald board is the most mysterious thing because it no longer exists. It is not known who created it nor its location. Nobody even knows what it looks like. All that is known is that the first document referring to this sheet is in the ancient Arabic book published between the 6th and 8th centuries. Arabic translation says the text is written in language Ancient Syriac. The Latin translation appeared in the 12th century, and many other translations were born later, including a copy of Sir Isaac Newton.

The text is considered the most important text in chemistry. It is featured by bringing information about the mysterious philosophical stone, which can turn metal into gold. But no one has been able to successfully use this emerald board to achieve this achievement.
