unsolved mysterious happenings

weird happenings around the world with no explaination found.

1. the bermuda triangle

                                                
   the bermuda triangle also known as the "isle of devils"  has some unpleasant stories behind it, coz a number of ships and aircrafts have dissapeared and the mysterious part is that, not even traces of the ships or aircrafts were found in the sea. Flight 19, one of the missing aircrafts in the bermuda triangle and it was claimed that the flight leader had been heard saying, "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white." It was also claimed that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes "flew off to Mars". crazy isn't?? some people claim paranormal activity in the area. Science does not have to answer questions about the Triangle because those questions are not valid in the first place. few believe that its a portal for some other world.

2.  the shroud of turin


                                                 It is a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have suffered physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion. it is kept in the  Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, northern Italy. many catholists believe that its the shroud of JESUS CHRIST. The origins of the shroud and its image are the subject of intense debate among scientists, theologians, historians and researchers. In 1978, a detailed examination was carried out by a team of American scientists called STURP. STURP found no reliable evidence of forgery, and called the question of how the image was formed "a mystery". According to former Nature editor Philip Ball, "it's fair to say that, despite the seemingly definitive tests in 1988, the status of the Shroud of Turin is murkier than ever. Not least, the nature of the image and how it was fixed on the cloth remain deeply puzzling". The shroud continues to remain one of the most studied and controversial artifacts in human history.

3. easter islands

                                                Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is remotely located 2,000 miles off the coast of Tahiti. The original settlers of the island were Polynesians who migrated to the far-off land between 400 and 600 BC. They built many shrines and statues, called moai, from stones quarried throughout the island including a volcano site. Researchers still question exactly how the large stones were moved.

4. the pyramids of giza

As unexplained mysteries go, the pyramids of Giza in Egypt really are something special. We still don't really know how the Egyptians built the largest pyramid of all, known as the Great Pyramid of Cheops (or Khufu), some 5,000 years ago. Remember, this was even before the invention of the wheel!
The Pyramid of Cheops is the size of a 40-storey building and covers an area big enough to fit 10 football fields in it. More than 2 million stone blocks were used to make the pyramid, each weighing 2-5 tons and cut from a distant limestone quarry on the other side of the Nile. Experts reckon it took 400,000 men some 20 years to complete.
Engineering feats aside, there are still some reported unexplained mysteries going on at the Pyramid of Cheops. In the 1940s, a French hardware dealer spotted some mummified animals exactly one-third up the height of the pyramid. The remarkable thing was they showed no signs of decomposition. He deducted that the pyramid shape was responsible for preserving these creatures.
Later, a Czech radio engineer conducted a series of experiments in which he placed a brand new razor blade inside a 1:1,000 scale model of Cheops. He aligned his pyramid on a north-south axis exactly like the real thing. After getting 50 shaves from the razor, he was forced to conclude that it was only getting sharper from being inside the pyramid. It took him 10 years to obtain a patent for this device, which he claims still has no scientific explanation today.
  5.  the voynich manuscripts

                                                   he Voynich manuscript, described as "the world's most mysterious manuscript".some pages are missing, but the current version comprises about 240 vellum pages, most with illustrations. Much of the manuscript resembles herbal manuscripts of the 1500s, seeming to present illustrations and information about plants and their possible uses for medical purposes. However, most of the plants do not match known species, and the manuscript's script and language remain unknown and unreadable.The mystery surrounding it has excited the popular imagination, making the manuscript 
subject of both fanciful theories and novels.
