LIST OF UNSOLVED MYSTERIES

1.  Atlantis, a lost civilization

In about 360 B.C. the Greek philosopher Plato wrote about the city of Atlantis and its destruction. People thought it was just a nice story until the 1800s, when a scholar announced that the city might actually have existed. People have been trying to find it ever since. Was Atlantis real or not?   

2. The Bermuda Triangle

In the Atlantic Ocean, bounded by the island of Bermuda; Miami, Florida; and San Juan, Puerto Rico, is an area where planes and ships have been known to disappear without warning. The U.S. military insists it's all coincidence. But what do YOU think?  

3.  Crop Circles. 

Long before Mel Gibson made the movie Signs, people have tried to make sense of crop circles. People have confessed to making some as practical jokes. But evidence left at others suggests there may be something else at work.   

4.  Amelia Earhart  

Amelia Earhart captured the American imagination as a daring pilot at a time when most women were not allowed to work outside the home. On July 2, 1937, she disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to fly around the world. Her plane was never found. What happened to her?  Easter Island In the middle of the Pacific Ocean sits a collection of huge stone carvings. The Easter Island Moai have been the subject of speculation for centuries. How did the native people move and carve all that stone? And why? 

5.  The Great Pyramids of Giza

The Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, built somewhere between four and five thousand years ago have sparked mysterious debate for centuries. How were the pyramids built and for what purpose?

6.  Jack the Ripper's identity

A series of heinous murders in London's Whitechapel neighbourhood attributed to a figure known as "Jack the Ripper" shocked the world in 1888. The real identity of the murderer has never been established with total conviction, despite extensive police investigations and countless hypotheses over the years.

7. Easter island Heads (Rapa Nui)

Three hundred years ago on Easter Sunday, 1722, European explorers landed on a South Pacific island that they called “Easter Island.” And they were shocked to see nearly one-thousand giant statues of stoic faces, called “moai,” placed all over the island. Who moved them? And how did they do it?

8.  The Ghost Ship, The Mary Celeste

In 1874 the Mary Celeste set sail from New York bound for Italy. It had a captain, his family, a crew, and a cargo. They were never seen again. The ship was found adrift, and there were no signs of foul play. What happened? 

9.  The Loch Ness Monster.  

Loch Ness, a lake in northern Scotland, is home to ... well, something. Known affectionately as "Nessie" by the locals, the Loch Ness monster has spawned many sightings and stories. Just what is it? 

10. Stonehenge

Stonehenge – a circular formation of stones that date back at least five thousand years – stand on a flat plain just north of Salisbury, England.

Was it Merlin the wizard, the Romans, or an ancient civilization?
