I was stationed at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave desert. We actually saw "sailing rocks" sail. They didn't need ice. The dry lake bed (Rogers) would get wet at night from condensation and make the surface have a kind of slimy mud. Any kind of wind could make the rocks move. It was even hard to walk on when it got like that but you could run and then slide for a great distance. It cracked me up that this was considered a big mystery.

​@@m4eouYou know people can care about more than one thing at once, right? African kids dying is bad. Murdering kids because you don't like how their father is doing things, also bad. You also should know that blaming children for the actions of their parents & the adults making the decisions isn't the moral gotcha you seem to think. Blaming a young girl who had zero choice in who she was born to & zero influence to effect any kind of change in circumstances for herself let alone anyone else around her is kind of unhinged ngl. Her entire short life was controlled in every single aspect, right up to who she'd have eventually been forced to marry had she lived & then her husband would have controlled what she did. While the cage may have been guilded & the food might have been good, a prison is still a prison. Nice whataboutism though. Have a great day.

@@tazhienunurbusinezz1703 she was 17 at the moment of her death, she was having a better life than the 99,9% of her country and probably the full world, surrounded by the biggest luxury in a country where the system his father rule was causing hunger and death while they were having exotic orgies and parties than could make Elon Musk parties look like a hippy drinking in the mud. The deaths in his country were the result of him and since crowns are hereditary each son was a chance to go back to tsarist monarchy system, whitewashed by cinema like if it were ok to have a dictatorship as long as you give it back to you son when you die. Nobody is justifing the death of an inocent child, but it sounds to me like feeling pity for Eva Brown or Mussolini's wife during world war ii, showing more empathy towards a 1% of incredibly rich and fortunate parasites because they died with a famous name after ruining countries were millions died nameless in a ditch during famine and wars. Kind regards from a guy born in a country ruled by a monarchy.

I paused the video at Troy because it didn't go into Heinrich Schliemann at all. He was a speculator, got rich from luck and war profiteering, and like nearly all early "archaeologists," was something of a grifter. Sure, as the video says, he discovered the nine levels of the city of Troy, after he profited off of another, poorer, actual amateur archaeologist's work -- I was amazed the video even mentioned the guy who actually deserved the credit -- but after Schliemann began excavating, he utterly destroyed the historical city of Troy by using dynamite. He wrongly believed, for no real reason, that the city of Hector and Priam would be the lowest layer, so he dynamite right down through all the layers to get to it, destroying the entire site in the process, including level six, which is believed to be the actual right time period for the Trojan war. He then found some gold and jewels on the bottom layer, smuggled them out of the country, called them Priam's treasure, and then had his wife wearing them as bling at parties all over England. And this guy has been touted as "the father of archaeology" for decades. Meanwhile, this is only the worst of his atrocities, as it's suspected that he purchased antiquities from elsewhere and then passed them off as artifacts of important figures in history, such as the mask of Agamemnon, and the bust of Cleopatra, solely to aggrandize himself. Anyway ... now you know how to make an archaeology grad angry. Bring up Schliemann...

The problem isnt that the disasters happen, its that planes and ships flat out vanish with no warning or anything. And there is still a very scientific reason being bandied about right now, hydrogen gas. There is a bunch of frozen gas at the bottom of the ocean in that are, sometimes it thaws and releases into the water, that would kill the buoyance of ships sinking em like rocks and would also take out the engines on any plane caught in the gas once it leaves the water and gets into the air. Hard for people to give out maydays when they are sank/crashed faster than they can respond.

Aliens, Magic, God/s - When you can't explain it. That and the supernatural like the undead or ghosts. A lot of haunted buildings have been found to just be old and decaying [hence random movement and slight breezes] and weirdly a lot of them tend to be in areas of high or low magnetism or like that one place in I wanna say Canada where Gravity or the Magnetic Field [forget which] is just oddly weaker than anywhere else.

The settlers moved inland, left a note even in the tree stating such, then made a life coinciding with the natives in the area. It's actually not all that mysterious but historically the records were incredibly biased against the indigenous people, and portraying them as anything other than "savages" was not part of the narrative. If you're really interested please look into the History of the Lumbee tribe in North Carolina (Use caution with your sources though because their story is unfortunately diluted and corrupted bc of politics and systemic racism).

Regarding #12: We do know (now) how the Moai were moved form the quaries to where they were errected: the Rapa Nui "walked" then to their place by wrapping a rope aorund the head, and then have a group of at least ten people on either side pull and release respectively, to wobble the carved monolith. They'd take side steps with each tilt of the monolith in their respective direction, to get it to move foreward. There's a few videos of researchers demonstrating this technique around youtube. But the frustrating part about it is, that all the first europeans who were wondering about how the monoliths got to their pedestals from the quary had to do, was actually _listen_ to the Rapa Nui when they told the europeans that they walked the statues to their place, and not dismiss that as superstious talk.

The Tudor dynasty - is the only dynasty that benefited from killing the princes. They knocked out their competition. Richard III hid them away, trying to save them. It makes sense that they were buried in the same Tower they were hiding in - because the Tudor soldiers were all over the property. Potential witnesses to seeing them alive. In order to blame Richard, they had to be killed in the same place they were found cowering. Their bodies couldn't leave the building or else people would know. The Tudor dynasty got to write history. But the people in the North of England never believed this crap.

Fun fact, it wasn’t even Anastasia who was missing in the first place. The two missing bodies were one of her brother and one of her sister, Maria. Anastasia died with the rest of her family in the basement. The two bodies were found burned not far from the rest of the family’s gravesite in an attempt to throw off people from finding all the royals back when they were executed.

It was the predominant city in that area of Anatolia, but there were other cities who would have allied with them. Unfortunately we'll probably never know all the details since basically all we know 3000 years on is there was a city there and there was a battle there. Unfortunately, the "archeologist" who discovered it actually got which layer was which wrong and so blew up with TNT much of the most probably layer for Troy

The explanation for the so-called "Bermuda Triangle is two-fold: shallow seas and heavy traffic of both sea and air. And always has been. The whole thing about the Bermuda triangle was concocted by a pulp fiction writer back in the early Fifties who needed a quick buck. The ratio of lost ships and aircraft is no worse there than any other comparable heavily trafficked area in the world.

So this may not please you, but the Bermuda Triangle was busted, they just don’t cover everything here. It’s on of the most highly trafficked areas in the world, boats and planes. It’s also notorious for terrible weather. If you’re from the states you know it’s where all our hurricanes and tropical storms form. With high traffic and constant terrible weather the likeliness for incidents rises. Almost any case of someone dying or missing can be attributed to terrible weather. The ocean is extremely unforgiving

Same here about the real mystery. 🫣 My takeaway question is why do they call something from the 12-13th century "ancient Viking". It's not ancient, it's medieval. It's post-Viking age. Just because it's a non-Latin alphabet in Northern Europe does not mean it's as far removed from us as, say, Tutankhamen, and it does not take away from the mystery to admit as much. Arguably, considering the Voynich Manuscript, it actually adds to the mystery. 🙂

Yup, how did they get the stones on the skiffs, how did they lift them into the area to place them, how did they cut them so precisely, how did they get enough water to move that much that far? Moving a 1 ton skiff isnt much, but when you put a 100 ton stone on it things change rapidly, and a bit of water wont be making much of a difference at that point.
@kosaba11
@kosaba11 Ай бұрын
@@dalehammers4425 The answer to all your points can be answered when you remember the purpose of the pyramids - they're giant tombs for the pharaohs of Egypt. With that in mind, you should be able to imagine that it wouldn't be just 10 or so people moving stone, but hundreds. For your question of how they got the stones onto the skiffs, that's simple. While a theory, should be too hard to imagine a few hundred workers / slaves, along with their field animals, like their oxen, donkey's, etc., flipping the stones, after they've been cut, onto the skiffs. And there are various methods they could use - the workers / slaves on side, pushing it, while the oxen pull from the other side with ropes to flip it over, for example. As for the water problem - they really wouldn't need it. Ox can pull equal to, or greater to their weight. Your average ox can weight more than a tone. With the stone on a skiff, it would make it easy for the oxen, along with people, to pull the stones. Now, I'll grant you, the process would likely have slowed immensely as the pyramid got larger, but it would still be doable. As for the cutting of the stones - if you actually look at the stones of a pyramid, they're pretty rough. The answer to this is simple - craftsmen have been able to carve intricate designs with ease since before Ancient Egypt - you really think making a semi-perfect cube or rectangular prism would be difficult?

If the plane went down, with modern technology, have we found ANY remains of aircrafts? I don't think they figured out the Bermuda Triangle.

Maybe for reasons of structural integrity? I’m not an engineer, but larger blocks would make for fewer joints and provide much greater load bearing. Especially as there was nothing used to join the blocks together (dovetailing, mortar, etc). Good question though.

12) That’s just one theory among dozens of others (with no more proof backing it up than the others). None of the mysteries surrounding the Mohai has actually being solved. 11) Same goes for the Mayan pre-spanish collapse: that’s just the umpteenth theory for it, which does not have any bulletproof evidence more than the others have. 10) That is not the whole mystery of what happened to the Franklin expedition: what has been found only shows the fate of the members who were left behind because sick or injured; nobody knows what really happened to the majority of the two ships’ crew (the two ships themselves have never been found either if I recall correctly), that’s still a complete mystery. 4) As for the Mohai and the Mayan pre-spanish collpase, that’s just the latest theory (which its inventor/discoverer boasted is the final solution) in the string. We do *not* yet know *for sure* how the pyramids were built.
