>>> Mysterious stone moves itself on Death Valley

In the 'Death Valley' almost all year round there is not a rain drop and there are up to 6 weeks in a year the temperature reaches over 40 degrees Celsius.

The name ' Death Valley ' was used 150 years ago. In the winter of 1849, a group looking for gold passed through this valley.

A small number of people, after coming out of this place, shouted that 'goodbye to the death valley' and the name 'Death Valley' was born from there.

However, the most difficult thing to explain in " Death Valley " is the traces of free movement of stones. NASA scientist Brian Jackson said that this mystery makes people associate this place with another planet.
