In this article, we will present you photos and a brief description of the unsolved, abnormal and fascinating places of our planet.
The world is surprising without a doubt, because it has many secrets and mysterious places. And the phenomena and legends around them only attract particular interest. Some secrets were revealed and explained from a scientific point of view. But this is only a small share of answers to numerous questions. We will talk about such places in more detail in this material.
20 most mysterious, mystical and mysterious places of our planet
We are so arranged by nature that we are always trying to solve and find a logical explanation to each event or origin. Therefore, we offer you controversial and not fully studied places in order to try to get to the bottom of the truth.
1. Dark hollow or a gystye place in China
The usual Chinese province of Sichuan is known to the world with a rather unusual and even mystical place Hayju or “Black Bamboo Polusia”. Locals bypass the hollow side, seriously fearing for their lives. This is a place in the first lines in the ranking of abnormal places on the planet. There is documentary confirmation that people and animals often disappear in the hollow. And, according to the rumors, in 1950 about 100 people were lost and so many more 1962.
But in the hollow, not only foot people die, but also planes with passengers above her, and entire military detachments. The weather in the hollow is very unstable and often changes. There is a chance that soils are also unstable and constantly sags. The place is dangerous, but very popular among tourists and acute lovers. There is no scientific explanation of the anomalies of the zone yet.
2. A modern monument of civilization after us - the tablets of Georgia
The monument that our civilization left to the future inhabitants of Planet Earth has been huge tablets. A geographically attraction is located on the territory of the USA, in the state of Georgia. The monument is man -made and not ancient, erected by one of the construction companies at the end of 1979. The purpose of the monument is to tell our future generations about our civilization.
It is a granite monument with a height of 6 m and a total weight of up to 100 tons. These are six plates: 1 in the center, 4 on the sides and 1 from above. There are inscriptions in the monument in 8 modern and 4 ancient languages. The monument has an owner, but there is no exact information who he is, and why he spent a lot of money on his construction. There is also a certain astronomical feature: between the plates in one hole you can see a polar star, and in another - solar standing. Also, every day through the hole in the upper plate the sunlight shows the day of the year.
3. An unusual Mexican settlement or the border of the two worlds - Chavinda, Mexico
A small Mexican village in the state of Michoakan, in which only about 6 thousand people live, is bitten by mystical legends. Local believe that on the territory of their town a border passes between our real world and the world to the otherworldly. Another town is also a place of pilgrimage of treasure hunters, which most often became witnesses of mystical stories.
In the 90s, such guests met a rider who caused panic fear and horror to the core with one glance. Invisible cars drive the city’s roads, but the accidents from the collision with them are real. In such a situation, one of the drivers of the truck visited, he was “lucky” twice to ram the invisible car. Another anomaly concerns the course of time. Having visited Chiviva, you can see that the clock goes wrong. And this is not a breakdown - this is a zone of distortion of time. Fans of abnormal excursions will appeal to the place.
4. Blooding with the frightening name - the valley of death
It is located in the USA, between the Mohaw desert and the large pool. It has the status of the hottest place on Earth with a maximum temperature of 57 ° C. But you cannot call the desert completely lifeless. In her open spaces, the population of Timbish settled 1000 years ago. True, only a few families were delayed.
And there were also stones that really move and leave behind them long grooves up to several meters in length and up to 30 cm in width. There is a theory that the moisture freezing at night at the bottom of the lake contributes to this. But the desert received such a name in 1930, when hunters discovered their dogs dead, without any evidence of their death. After that, such cases have become more frequent and, on average, more than a hundred people accidentally died on it.
5. Famous pyramids of Egypt
The most famous pyramids are located on the outskirts of Cairo and Giza. By the way, one of the three popular structures is the Cheops pyramid, which was also awarded the title of one of the seven miracles of our world. They all have a different “age”, but the most ancient pyramids date back to about 2600 BC. e.
Despite the fact that the pyramids consist of large blocks, there is a scientific assumption that they were still built by local residents. Although many mysteries arose against the background of how these blocks raised to such a height in those distant times. The second frightening legend about the curse of the pharaohs, because there are many skeletons on the buildings. Scientists explain this by the fact that slaves simply died during hard work. Although there is a theory of marketing course from thieves. But more mysterious in this is that they have been standing for so long and almost without damage.
6. Forest Aokighara or a place for suicides in Japan
This forest itself appeared after a terrible cataclysm. More precisely, with the destructive eruption of the volcano, whose lava formed a plateau in 864. Its dimensions are approximately 40 km². Then the forest appeared in this place. It stands out with a mystical manifestation - compasses cease to work in it. But many legends are frightened about the presence of demons and signs that they “persuade” a person to commit suicide. It was this feature that made this place mysterious.
About 75-100 corpses are found annually. Moreover, the variations of death are completely different, but most often this is a method with the help of medicines. Many corpses among impassable thickets of trees make this forest frightening, but visitors are located from different parts of the earth. Therefore, local authorities are trying to control this object.
7. Monument of antiquity Arkaim, Russia
In the Chelyabinsk region, near the village of Amursky, there is a unique historical monument of the 16th century BC. e. This is the oldest settlement, on the territory of which a complex of well -preserved structures is located. These are a number of defense buildings, burial grounds and other archaeological monuments of the past. It is unique to this place and the fact that the landscape is preserved and corresponds to the historical description.
The archaeological expedition discovered Arkaim in 1987, the settlement occupies an area of \u200b\u200b3300 hectares. Active excavations are carried out in our time, and have already borne fruit. Many historical artifacts, pottery, tools, the remains of people and animals were found. It became known that ancient residents made products from metal. They had a sewage system, water supply and chariot. Another find - the skulls of local residents, proved that they were all with Coineries, that is, the ancestors of Europeans. The city died during a large fire. But the exact cause of the fire has not yet been established.
8. Lake in which Nessi lives and his riddles
The huge and beautiful freshwater lake lay out in Scotland, and has a length of 36 km. A large reservoir fit in a rocket of Great Glen. The waters of the lake are muddy and deep, because they hide the popular legend of the Loch Nesky monster. But there is no scientific evidence that something similar can live in the lake. Although the mention of Nessi has been drawn from the beginning of the sixth century.
Nowadays, information from witnesses who claim to have seen a huge lizard is not uncommon. In 1932, a resonant article on this occasion in 1932 was published in the newspaper Inverness Courier, and was based on the stories of local residents. Many scientific research was conducted, the last of which occurred in 2016, but Nessi could not find traces. In all likelihood, this is a myth, but mysterious phenomena do not give rest to lovers of supernatural and attract tourists from around the world.
9. The Pato crater without any explanation of the occurrence
Another mysterious place in Russia in the Irkutsk region. Relatively recently, in 1949 a strange find was seen, but the interest in it in the form of photographs woke up only in 1971. The crater has impressive dimensions: 40 m in height and 180 m in diameter. The age of such an education is completely small - no more than 200 years.
Its second name is the "nest of the fiery eagle." Probably related to volcanic rocks in the central funnel. Even visually from a height, it looks like a volcano, but in the center is a dome, about 15 m high. Which is not typical for such formations. There is a version that this is a trace of a comet, but there is no registered data.
10. Giant stone observatory - Stonehenge
On the territory of England there is a famous and popular attraction from huge stones called Stonehenge. From the capital of London, this historical place is 130 km. It is 30 huge wallons that formed a circle with a diameter of 33 m. The height of stones is over 4 m, the width of more than 2 m, and the weight reaches 25 tons. And this is not all, there are still jumper stones that lie on top, more than 3 m long.
Scientists will highlight three phases of the construction of this facility, the last of which ended in 2440 BC. e. There are a lot of theories, who and for what it built it. Some say that it was the Druid sanctuary, others suggested that it was an observatory from the time of the Stone Age. Only one thing is clear - this place asks more questions, which provides answers. And of course, it is popular among tourists.
11. Easter Island and its stone residents
MOAI - idols or statues that from the ancient centuries stand on the island of Easter, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The statues are located mainly facing the sea, welcoming each guest and escorting ships. There are 900 such statues today. The date when the statues settled on the island is not exactly known, but approximately 1250-1500. It is officially believed that they were made by local natives in the quarries of volcanoes. But the mystery remains how they installed the idols. After all, there is a statue weighing 82 tons, and their growth reaches 5 m. Even if you take the average in size of the MOAI, weighing 10 tons, this is almost unrealistic.
Nowadays, the installation could only be carried out using a tap. In addition, these monuments are erected throughout the island, but more of them on the platforms of the funeral and ceremonial significance of AHO. Some of the statues are not destined to rise above the island, since they were cut down to the end. In 1986, an experiment was conducted where local residents, at the request of scientists, reproduced all the stages from cutting to the installation of statues. It turned out that the inhabitants of the island still know how and what tools to do this. The experiment was also repeated in 2012 and documented on the video.
12. The tower that the devil built according to legend
A huge monument that Mother Nature built, Devil-Tower has another folk name-the Devil Tower. Geographically located in the United States, Vaiming. The height of such a tower leaves 1558 m, and age - more than 200 million years. The Rock of the Devil proudly bears the title of “National Monument”. This attraction of this kind was the first to be recognized back in 1906. The decree was signed by President Theodor Roosevelt.
Locals still believe that this rock was built by the devil. And if you look closely, it is very similar to the man -made structure. In fact, she was built by molten magma, millions of years ago, rising from the bowels of the Earth. She has a flat peak, since the breeds in her composition are dark red sandstones. The Devil Tower is a real screen star. For example, in his films she was shot by Stephen Spielberg, or rather, in a fantastic action about aliens “close contacts”.
13. Another riddle in the United States - Kahokia mounds
Kahokia is a group of more than 100 huge mounds. Geographically, this mysterious place is located in the United States near the small city of Collinsville, in the American state of Illinois. The legacy of the North American Indians is now considered one of the largest astrological monuments. The remnants of the Mississippian culture are now under the protection of UNESCO and are recognized as world historical heritage.
According to archaeologists, a big city of Kahokia once existed at this place. The history of the city begins in the middle of the 21st century. The largest mound of the entire complex is a construction with four levels of Monk’s Mound or “Monks of the Kurgan”. The height of this mound is 28 m, and the length is 290 m. Scientists believe that the Kurgan is a former temple of local Indians.
Scientists also managed to excavate in one of the mounds of the leader of the tribe, as well as the local mass burial of people whose hands and heads were chopped off. Most likely, these are the fallen "heroes" of sacrifices to the gods. The exact data of the number of local residents are also unknown, they left behind many puzzles and few artifacts, ceramics and other objects of life. Researchers talk about the numbers of 8 or 40 thousand kahokiy residents. The settlement at one moment became deserted, the reason for this is reliably not known.
14. Irish round grave - Newgraindzh
The Tomb of Newgraija is part of the Bru-on-Boyn complex, which has about 40 mounds. This megalithic structure dates back to 2500 BC. e. Round Kurgan is geographically in Ireland. The national monument is not far from Dublin, only 40 km. The ancient structure is unique in its sizes: the height is 13.5 m, and the mound is 85 m in diameter. Inside there is a long 19-meter corridor, which leads into the main funeral chamber.
It is strange how ancient people cost this tomb. After all, only one vertical monoliths in the center of burial weighing 20 to 40 tons. A six-meter narrowing dome inside, and a clear orientation of the tunnel on sunrise, to the southeast, is also surprising. Although the sun goes inside very rarely - only five days. And, more precisely, from December 19 to 23, through the twenty -centimeter window above the entrance. There is a legend that this is a house of fairies. And on a mystical night without time, which the Coaters considered on the night of November 1, these fairies leave their dwelling and going out.
15. Ancient circle or observatory - Gozeki Circle in Germany
The attraction is more mysterious than mystical. Geographically is located in Germany, in the district of Burghenlandocate. These are two circles with the entrance gate and a moat, the diameter of which is 75 m. The opening of this attraction took place only in 1991, and the studies and excavations of the University of Galle-Vittenberg were carried out in 2002. In fact, the ancient find was discovered recently. And, most likely, this is an ancient observatory. After all, its passages are intended to celebrate the sunrise and the sunset, as well as the winter solstice.
In Austria, Germany and Croatia, there are approximately 250 similar buildings. According to scientists, the Gozeki circle was approximately built in 4900 BC. e., and initially it consisted of four circles. Archaeologists managed to find ancient artifacts and skeletons of people, some were beheaded. Another evidence is that people's interest in the study of the starry sky, planets and the sun come from very ancient times.
16. Steps or bridge for giants, Ireland
The unique memo of nature is geographically located on the territory of Ireland, in its northern part near the village of Bushmils. This natural structure consists of basalt steps or columns, all of which about 40 thousand since 1986 it is a worldwide heritage and under the protection of UNESCO.
The path is popular among tourists as a landmark. In fact, these are the consequences of a powerful eruption of the volcano in ancient times 60 million years ago. The columns have several angles, but most hexagonal. The tops are similar to the springboard. There is also a legend that the path was built by the giant Finn Mac Kumal, preparing to battle with another giant Goll. He drove a number of columns to the bottom of the sea to build a bridge and not to soak his legs.
17. Who built the Jonaguni underwater pyramid: man or nature?
Near the usual Japanese island of Jonaguni, or rather in the depths of the waters near the island, a building was discovered in the form of a pyramid age from 10 to 16 thousand years. A mystery is already how it ended up there. At a five -meter depth, there are a formation of stones, definitely reminiscent of a step pyramid, which was found by divers in 1986. The pyramid had five floors and a height of 42 meters. The dispute about the origin of the object arose due to its correct forms that could be at the hands of a person.
But the scientists who examined the pyramid in 1997 concluded that the structure of a natural nature and its basis are a sandstone stone that can spread and form figures of a geometric nature. But scientists also stuck out the assumption that partial processing by the hands of a person is present on the faces of the object. The next group of scientists made other conclusions, suggesting that the person built the entire pyramid. There is a theory that this section of the bottom was once a land, and it was simply flooded by the ocean about 10 thousand years ago.
18. Drawings of giant sizes with an unknown artist - NASKA, Peru
The Piapo Nask in the southern part of the state of Peru became a certain art gallery in the clean air, which was drawn before the 12th century. That's just the canvases are presented here of giant sizes. Drawings are a group of geoglefs of geometric and curly form. The Gallery occupies an area of \u200b\u200bmore than 50 km and has 30 drawings. The most famous drawings such as the image of a beliber bird of 50 m long, a spider of 46 m long and various huge colors. The largest famous drawing is a lizard with a length of 188 m.
But this is not all, the field is decorated with 13 thousand straight lanes and long lines, hundreds of spirals, and another 700 diverse geometric figures, triangles and trapezoids. There are also images of creatures similar to a person, for example, an astronaut of 30 m long. The images are very ancient, but being on Earth, figures cannot be recognized. Only when a person built a plane, already in our time, they were examined from the sky, and this happened officially in 1994. The first message was in 1553 from the Spanish priest Syes de Leon.
All drawings combine enormous scales and extremely even lines, as if it were the work of one artist. But another is alarming, because the lines are actually a furrow of 50 cm depth and 135 cm width. At the same time, excess soil was seized, but there are no traces of people on the ground. NASKA is a plateau where even a light car and peasants who worked in the field leave the traces for a long time. And if people painted it, then there would be sure to remain trodden with their feet, the comparted paths. The question remains open who should look at them. If they cannot be disassembled from the Earth, the viewer should look from the sky, and this is in such ancient times. There is a version that the drawings were intended to the aliens or made by aliens.
19. Entrance to hell is in Turkmenistan - Darvaz crater
Darvaz crater is a unique attraction that turned out to be almost accidentally. Turkmenistan boasts a large margin of natural gas. To be more precise, it is in second place in the world. In 1971, near the small village of Darwaz, drill work was carried out by drill work. So a very large cluster of gas underground was discovered, where there is a kind of emptiness. The equipment of scientists successfully failed into it, but the employees themselves remained intact. The work was suspended, because the gas could explode, and the death of local residents would not have been avoided.
Geologists have proposed setting fire to gas. According to their theory, the fire was supposed to burn for a couple of days, but the supply was huge and burned to this day, amazing numerous tourists. There are no locals in the village, it was demolished back in 2004. And the crater of Darvaz, with a diameter of 60 m and up to 20 m deep, collects a full house of visitors. Due to the numerous fiery torches inside the crater, it was called the Gate to Hell.
20. The eye that is visible from the cosmos - Richat
A well -known geological formation is proud of the "Eye of Sahara". Geographically is the Sahara desert, or rather its Moorish part. Cosmonauts can consider the attraction well, it is a certain landmark among endless sands. The size is impressive - Rishat occupies a territory of 50 km 2. The desert eye was formed about 60 million years ago, such an age at the oldest of the rings.
The origin of this unique object is still debating. Some say that Rishat was formed due to the raising of the earth's crust. Others suggest that this is the bottom of the salt lake, which periodically appeared and disappeared. As a result, sandstones and sedimentary rocks are located. In the photographs of the "Eye of Sahara" it looks spectacular, even better to look at it from the hatch of a spaceship.
The above places are the most famous in the world and visited by millions of tourists. But this is not all the abnormal and mysterious zones of our planet. Many places with paranormal activities have not yet been studied and are waiting in the wings.
