Great mysteries have no solution in human history

1. Manuscript Rongorongo

Considered another mystery of Easter Island , Rongorongo is the name of the hieroglyphic manuscript written by the first inhabitants of the island. Rongorongo mysteriously appeared in the 1700s, while the inhabitants of neighboring islands did not yet have written. This language has long since vanished, making the decoding of the script hopeless. European colonists banned this language because of the pagan origin of the islanders.

Greek writer Pausanias described the spectacle of the terrifying earthquake that destroyed the city of Helike in one night, accompanied by a terrible tsunami that engulfed all the remains of the prosperous capital for a while. .

The capital of these Achaean alliance countries is the center of the Poseidon sea ​​god worship. In addition to the ancient Greek texts, there is no indication that the city had existed until an archaeologist discovered the Helike coin with the head carved of Poisedon.

In 2001, two archaeologists identified the location of Helike City under a layer of mud and gravel. Excavation work is underway and scientists hope to explore the city's growing and exterminating process, which is regarded by some as the city of Atlantis.

3. Mummy swamp

So far there have been hundreds of mummies - mostly from the Iron Age - discovered in the northern European swamp. Much of the well-preserved mummies date back to 2000 years and bear traces of torture and violence. These frightening traces make scientists assume that they are victims of a ritual of ancient worship.

4. The collapse of the Minoan Empire

While historians are increasingly exploring the causes of the collapse of the Roman Empire , the mystery encompasses the disappearance of the Minoan Empire . About 3,500 years ago, an earthquake on Thera Island swept away all life on Crete, where the story of a king and the monster that had eaten him. Clay panels discovered by archaeologists showed that the empire still existed about 50 years before disappearing completely. Assumptions about the collapse include a layer of volcanic ash that failed crops or that they were occupied by Greek forces .

5. Carnac stone columns

Stonehenge in England is still a mystery to scientists, but the Carnac building on the northeastern French coast of Brittany is probably even more curious.

More than 3000 megalithic stone columns are arranged into a perfect line stretching over 12 km. Local legend says that these stone pillars are a Roman legion that was turned into stone by the Merlin mage . A 30-year research scientist has assumed that these pillars are an earthquake prediction tool. The identity of the Stone Age people who built this building is still in mystery.

Who is Robin Hood?

Historians continue to look for the legendary Robin Hood character, a green forest knight who robs the rich and gives to the poor and a list of suspects that appear to be quite popular. Among them was one who fled to Yorkshire named Robert Hod, Hobbehod and a Robert Hood of Wakefield. Filing names becomes increasingly complicated because ' Robin Hood ' means the outlaw person as in the case of William Le Fevre. This person then changed his name to RobeHod, according to court records. The search for this legendary character becomes more difficult because later storytellers embellish more story characters, such as Prince John and Richard Dung.

6. The disappearance of a Roman army

After a poor Roman army of General Crassus was defeated by the Parthians, it was thought that a small group of POWs wandered through the desert and eventually joined the army of 17 years later. The historian Ban Gu, who lived in China in the first century, recorded a confrontation with the strange army fighting fish scales, a feature of the Roman army.

A historian from Oxford University compared ancient documents and said that the Roman army built a small town called Liqian near the Gobi desert (Chinese "writing" in Chinese). They are testing DNA bases to prove the hypothesis and to explain some of the characteristics of current descendants: green eyes, blond hair and bullfighting.

7. Voynich manuscript

Voynich manuscript is probably the most difficult book to read in the world. This 500-year-old relic was discovered in 1912 in a library in Rome, including 240 pages of writing and completely unfamiliar illustrations. Cryptographers have tried to decipher this strange script but no one has succeeded. Even some people even consider this a joke of the ancients. However, the book analysis shows that this manuscript seems to follow the structures and rules of a true language.

8. Lake Tarim mummy

During an excavation underneath the Tarim basin in western China , archaeologists discovered more than 100 mummies with a lifespan of more than 2,000 years. Victor Mair, a university professor, was surprised to face the blonde mummies, the long nose in a museum exhibition that in 1993 he returned to collect DNA samples.

DNA testing reinforced his assumption that these mummies carry European genes. Ancient Chinese literature of the 1st century BC mentions groups of white settlers called Bai, Yeuzhi and Tocharians. However, there is no explanation for why these people appeared here.

9. The disappearance of the Indus Valley civilization

Indus Valley civilization stretches from western India to Afghanistan and a population of up to 5 million. This is India 's oldest known civilization. Until 1922, John Marshall unearthed the city and discovered an extremely 'culture' culture. There is an extremely complex drainage system and well-designed basins. The strange thing is that there is no archaeological evidence showing the existence of the army, the king, slaves, social contradictions or the common evils of ancient times.
