15 most terrible unsolved mysteries of the world. Yellow balloons from Cuba. Where did the gold of the royal family go?


Many people like to solve all sorts of riddles. And especially attract those of them that have not yet been solved. Ciphers, riddles and coded public messages tease us with their intrigue: why is this message encrypted? what great secrets can it hide in itself?

There are a great many such mysteries, but we decided - in the spirit of the times - to compile some Top 10 mysteries of the world that have not yet been solved.


In the first place, of course, is the Voynich manuscript. Named after the Polish-American antiquarian bookseller Wilfrid M. Voynich, who purchased it in 1912, the Voynich Manuscript is a detailed book, quite thick at 240 pages, written in a completely unknown language.


Unknown so far! And there is not even any suggestion what kind of language it might be. Its pages are also filled with colorful drawings and strange diagrams, depictions of incredible events, and plants that do not resemble any known species, which only add to the intrigue of a document that cannot be deciphered. The author of the manuscript is unknown, but radiocarbon analysis, as well as several examinations, showed that its pages were made somewhere between 1404 and 1438. The manuscript has been called "The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World".


In second place is Kryptos, a mysterious cipher-covered sculpture., created by artist Jim Sanborn, located in front of the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia, USA. It is so mysterious that even the CIA itself could not fully decipher its code.


The sculpture contains four ciphers, and although three of them have been deciphered, the fourth one has not yet been deciphered. In 2006, Sanborn gave a hint that the first cipher contained clues to the fourth, and in 2010 revealed another one: the characters 64-69 NYPVTT in the fourth part mean the word "Berlin".


In third place is the Bale cipher. The Bale Cipher is a set of three ciphers that purportedly reveal the location of one of the greatest buried treasures in the world. American history: many thousands of pounds of gold, silver and precious stones. The treasure was originally mined by a mysterious man named Thomas Jefferson Bale in 1818 during a gold mining operation in Colorado.


Of the three encryptions, only the second was decoded. Interestingly, it seems that the key to the cipher is the American Declaration of Independence - amazing fact, given that Bale's name is the same as the author of the Declaration.

The deciphered text pointed to the area where the treasure was located: Bedford County, Virginia, but its exact location appears to be encrypted in one of the remaining ciphers. Today, treasure hunters scour the (often illegally) hills of Bedford County for this untold treasure.


In fourth place is the Phaistos disc. The Phaistos Disc Mystery is like an Indiana Jones story. Discovered by the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier in 1908 in ruins Minoan palace in Festa, the disc is still one of the most famous riddles in archeology. It is made of baked clay and contains mysterious symbols, which may represent an unknown form of hieroglyphs. It is believed that it was made somewhere in the II millennium BC.


Some scholars believe that these hieroglyphs are reminiscent of the characters for "Linear A" and "Linear B" writing, in other words, written languages ​​that were once used in ancient Crete.


Then what is the problem? That "Linear A" is indecipherable.


In fifth place is the encryption from Chaboro. It is actually the 18th century Shepherd's Monument in Staffordshire, England. If you look at it from afar, you can mistake it for a sculptural reproduction of the famous painting by Nicolas Poussin "The Arcadian Shepherds". But as soon as you look closer, a strange sequence of letters immediately becomes noticeable: DOUOSVAVVM, a code that has not been deciphered for more than two and a half centuries. Although the author of this cipher remains unknown, some believe that this code may be a clue left by the Knights Templar regarding the location of the Holy Grail.

Many of the greatest minds of our world have tried to decipher this code and failed, including Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin.


In sixth place is the so-called Tamam Shud case. Considered one of Australia's biggest mysteries, the Tamam Shud case revolves around an unidentified man who was found dead in December 1948 on Somerton Beach in the Australian city of Adelaide. Apart from the fact that the man was never identified, the matter became even more mysterious when a tiny piece of paper with the words "Tamam Shud" was found in a secret pocket sewn into the man's trousers. This phrase translates as "finished" or "completed" and is used on the last page of Omar Khayyam's collection of poems "Rubaiyat". In addition to this mystery, a copy of the Rubaiyat was soon found, which contained a strange cipher, supposedly left by the dead man himself.

Due to the content of the poems of Omar Khayyam, many believe that this message was a posthumous note of some kind, but it still remains unsolved, as well as the case itself.


In seventh place is not an object - a signal. One summer night in 1977, Jerry Eman, a volunteer for the SETI program (a widespread program for searching for signals from extraterrestrial intelligence), became perhaps the first person to receive a message from another planet. Jerry Eman was scanning radio waves from deep space in the hope of accidentally stumbling upon a signal bearing the hallmarks of an intelligent race when he noticed a jump in his measurements. And stumbled. The signal lasted 72 seconds, the longest possible sample duration allowed by Jerry Eman's equipment and scanning range. It was loud and seemed to be coming from a place no human had ever been: from the constellation Sagittarius, from a point near a star called Tau Sagittarii, 120 light-years from Earth.

Jerry Eman wrote the word "Wow!" on the original printout of the signal, which is why it was called "Wow! Signal". All attempts to catch the signal again failed, leading to much debate about the nature of its origin and its meaning.


In eighth place is the so-called "Letters of the Zodiac", but this has nothing to do with the signs of the zodiac. The Zodiac Letters is a series of four encrypted letters believed to have been written by the notorious Zodiac, a serial killer who terrorized the people of San Francisco in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Letters are written with icons, partly resembling letters, partly runes. There is no separation of words from each other.

The letters were probably written as a way to tease journalists and the police, and although one letter (or rather, three fragments of it) was deciphered, the other three remain unsolved. The deciphered message suggests that in three months the Zodiac from a ready-made Aztec priest became a victim of his own addiction to homicide, tearfully begging to help him stop killing people (by putting him, for example, in a gas chamber). Also, Starliper's transcript ends with the sentence "My name is Lee Allen". By the way, the identity of the Zodiac himself has also never been established, the killer is not caught, although the murders of the Zodiac have not been identified since the 70s.


In ninth place are the waystones of Georgia. The Georgia Waystones, sometimes referred to as the "American Stonehenge", is a granite monument erected in Elbert County, Georgia in 1979. The stones contain engravings in eight languages ​​- English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian - and each contains ten "new" commandments for the "Age of Reason". They look like four steles, practically connected in a cross with a pillar in the middle and covered on top with a "cap" of a small square slab.


Well, what's the mystery here, most will ask. The monument does not contain any encrypted messages! Yes, it does not. Its purpose and origin remain a mystery. It was erected by a man whose identity has never been definitely established, and who was hiding behind the pseudonym R.C. Christian. Where he got these commandments from is also unknown, for no sources contain anything like that.


Of these ten commandments, the first is perhaps the most controversial: "Keep the number of mankind below 500 million in eternal balance with wildlife." Many believe that this is a calling to reduce the human population to the specified number, and critics of the Waystones even demanded their destruction. Some fans of conspiracy theories even believe that they were created by the "Secret Society of Lucifer", calling for a new world order.

There is a version that these giant "letters" were also installed taking into account some astronomical considerations - hence, in fact, the name: "American Stonehenge".


In tenth place are Rongo-rongo boards. These mysterious wooden tablets with the writings of the inhabitants of Easter Island. It is currently not clear whether each character represents a single word or syllable. To date, only about 25 "plates" have been preserved in museums around the world. Traditionally, they are numbered with letters of the Latin alphabet, which, however, is not the only way to designate "tables", among which there is one wand, two inscriptions on the breast decoration of the reimiro, as well as an inscription on the snuffbox and on the tangata manu figure.

The "tablets" were discovered in 1864 by Bishop E. Ayro, who claimed that these tablets were in almost every Aboriginal home, but the islanders could hardly read them. Two years later, almost all the tablets that E. Eiro saw died: either from his own hands, or during civil strife. It is believed that they were written in the Rapanui language. The last Rapanuian who knew Rongo-Rongo, Vike, died in 1866.

Since then, scientists from all over the world have been trying to decipher rongo-rongo. A significant contribution to the study was made by T. Bartel, Yu. V. Knorozov and N. A. Butinov, I. K. Fedorova and many others. However, there is no consensus even on the definition of the type of writing, let alone specific readings. The well-known theorist of grammar I. Gelb believed that this was not writing, but only magical drawings, arguing that his signs are so similar to each other, differing only in minor details, that an attempt to differentiate them encounters enormous difficulties.

Butinov and Knorozov prove that this is by no means a pictography, but a morphemic-syllabic writing. New Zealand researcher S.R. Fisher (in a 1997 monograph) believes that the tablets "for the most part reproduce the magical formula of fertilization, fixed in the later version of the creation of the world, and are built on the repetition of the producing formula: agent X combined with agent Y and gave birth to object (s) Z". According to the ironic characterization of linguists K.I. and I.K. Pozdnyakov, "it turns out a leapfrog, in which everyone copulates in the most incredible combinations."


There are still many unsolved mysteries in the world, despite all the development of science, technology, as well as numerous studies. Although it would seem that there should already be logical explanations for these mysterious things, as before, people can only guess what they are facing.

1. The rumble of Taos


In the small American town of Taos, you can often hear an incomprehensible hum that can be compared to the distant sound of a diesel engine. Although the sound can be perfectly heard with the naked ear, various sound devices are unable to capture it. Until now, no one knows where this sound comes from.

2. Voynich Manuscript


The Voynich manuscript was written in an incomprehensible language that people have been trying to decipher to no avail for centuries. The only thing that is clear in the manuscript is the drawings (but they also look like something unearthly).

3. Jack the Ripper


The name Jack the Ripper can be found in many series and films related to serial killers. He killed 11 women in east London in the late 1800s, but his identity was never revealed. Most of the victims of the maniac were prostitutes, whose bodies were mutilated beyond recognition, and their throats were cut.

4 Bermuda Triangle


Legendary Bermuda Triangle can be found between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Pilots often say that their instruments fail in this place, and numerous ships have disappeared without a trace here. Although there are many theories, from bubbles of gas emanating from the bottom to aliens, no one knows what is behind the strange phenomena.

5. Letters of the Zodiac


During the 1960s and 1970s, a criminal was operating in the San Francisco Bay Area who became known as the Zodiac Killer through cryptic encrypted letters he sent to the police and the press. Despite the fact that one of the four letters was deciphered (any maniac or psychopath would envy its contents), the other three still remain a mystery.

6. Rongorongo


On mysterious island Easter, where the famous moai stand, a set of hieroglyphs was discovered, which was named Rongorongo. These symbols have never been deciphered, although they may contain clues as to who and why the huge stone heads all over the island.

7 Loch Ness Monster


For centuries people have heard about the monster of Loch Ness and how it is unlike any other creature. There have been many sightings of Nessie over the years, and a number of photos and videos have been taken. Even today, some argue, the monster exists and swims underwater.

8. Stonehenge


Stonehenge is one of the most famous and fascinating ancient structures in the world. The most big mystery it is not about how it was created, but why.

9 Lost Atlantis


Whether Atlantis ever existed is still debated. But Plato was firmly convinced of its existence and mentioned Atlantis in his writings. But, according to a number of historians, today mysterious island together with magnificent city plunged into the depths of the ocean and no one has found them so far.

10. Aliens


UFO sightings all over the world. People have been wondering for centuries that humanity cannot be alone in an infinite universe. Although some claimed they were abducted, there is no evidence for this.

11. Signal "Wow!"


When Jerry Eyman worked on the SETI project at the Ohio University radio telescope, he never expected to be able to pick up a real signal coming from deep space. His equipment recorded a 72-second signal from the constellation Sagittarius. But since then no one has been able to catch him again.

12. D.B. cooper


When D.B. Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 in 1971, he received a ransom of $ 200,000. After that, he jumped out of the plane with a parachute. He was never found.

13. Nazca geoglyphs


The Nazca civilization created some of the most spectacular geoglyphs on Earth. The desert plateau features giant lines depicting spiders, monkeys, sharks, killer whales, flowers, and simply abstract patterns. Their accuracy is incredible, especially considering that the drawings can only be seen from an airplane, which the Nazca could not have done.

14. SS Ourang Medan


The Dutch case cargo ship Ourang Medan or "The Man from Medan" in Malaysia is perhaps one of the most fascinating and mind-boggling mysteries that has ever existed in the history of navigation. It all started with an SOS message in 1947 that said, “The captain and all officers lie dead in the cockpit and on the bridge. Maybe the whole team is dead." Further, the telegraph operator reported that he, too, was dying. When the Silver Star came to the rescue, it turned out that indeed the entire crew was dead for no apparent reason.

15. Ayud aluminum wedge


Back in 1974, a group of workers in Romania discovered three different objects while excavating a trench at a depth of 10 meters. Two of the objects were prehistoric elephant bones 2.5 million years old. The third object stunned everyone - it was aluminum wedge, which was found along with ancient bones.

There are so many in the world unsolved mysteries and secrets that even get a little uncomfortable! These secrets higher worlds constantly someone tries to comprehend, but once again fails. Ciphers, coded messages, mysterious signs on the margins, cryptograms, and so on - all this intrigues not only scientists, but also ordinary people. Each of us at least once in our lives, but think about one of the many mysteries of our universe. Or maybe someone else has yet to figure it out?

Secrets are all around us.

How many films have been made and books written about how to unravel these mysteries, but all these films are just fiction. In fact, neither the world-famous manuscripts nor the complex messages to descendants from their ancestors were ever completely unraveled.

Mystery of Voynich

unravel unknown language, on which the manuscript is written, never succeeded. In 1912, Wilfrid Voynich, a dealer in antique books, purchased a very strange book. All of its 240 pages contained completely new letters and numbers (if they were exactly these signs at all). In the book, in addition to words in an incomprehensible language, there were also diagrams, illustrations that demonstrated incomprehensible events, and also depicted unthinkable plants. Mystery? Also what! It was not possible to establish who the author of the manuscript was. But scientists were able to determine the time period in which the book was created - 1404-1438.


Manuscript "The Secret of Voynich"

Whoever did not try to unravel the handwritten manuscript, and all in vain. But it does not seem that the author of the text simply decided to mock his descendants and drew scribbles in order to mislead everyone. Today there are a large number of theories in which the great scientists of the world are trying to solve the mystery of the book. Some think that this is a manual on alchemy, others are a pharmacopoeia, and still others generally see the intervention of other worlds in the creation of the manuscript and assign the book the status of an extraterrestrial manuscript. But whoever the author of the manuscript was, he definitely did not regret his personal time, effort and money for its creation!

Secrets of the higher worlds! Difficult to understand, encrypted and not fully solved the riddle on the sculpture located near the CIA in the USA - this is the sensational Kryptos! The sculpture was created by the master Sanborn and the four encryptions on its surface have not been completely unraveled (despite such a “neighborhood” with the CIA). The scientists managed to solve the first three riddles, but with the last one (despite the artist’s hints that the answer to it is encrypted in the first cipher), they are still tormented. In 2010, the most persistent researchers were still able to unravel one word in the code - Berlin, but what other words are nearby is still unknown.


Bail Treasure Search

Thomas Bale at the beginning of the 19th century was able to extract the treasure in the process of developing gold deposits in Colorado. It is not known what motivated this man, but the location of the real wealth from a large number precious metals and stones, he decided to encrypt. For this he used a set consisting of three ciphers. Of these, only the second was decoded, and the American Declaration of Independence became the key to it. This code indicated the area where the treasure is located, but the exact location of the cache is still unknown. Many seekers of adventure and mysterious treasures still hunt for untold wealth to this day.


How to find the Holy Grail?

In the UK, there is the famous Shepherd's Monument, created in the 18th century in Staffordshire. Many think that this is a message from the ancients to our contemporaries regarding the place where the Holy Grail is kept. The letters of the code have a certain sequence, only no one can decipher it. The author of the cipher is unknown, and this is another mystery of the surrounding world. Scientists suggest that in this way the secret of finding the Grail was encrypted by the Templars. Many celebrities have tried to decode this code, including Charles Dickens and Darwin.


Writing system or Rongorongo

On Easter Island, mysterious signs were found, depicted on artifacts and called Rongorongo. Scientists believe that these may be writing systems invented by different branches of mankind. It has not yet been possible to decipher the secrets of the ancient words, but there is an opinion that the encryption contains some information about the civilization that built the statues on this island.


Message from space

In 1977, as part of a program to search for signals from extraterrestrial intelligence, Jerry Eman recorded an incomprehensible signal, and it really did not come from Earth. Only 72 seconds continued human communication with an extraterrestrial civilization, which was supposedly located in the constellation Sagittarius, which is 120 light years away from our planet. On his transcript, the young man wrote the word "Wow", as an expression of delight about communicating with aliens. Perhaps the younger generation uses this word for a reason, but at the suggestion of other worlds!


Secrets of the Phaistos Disc

This is the most difficult riddle that would be beyond the power of Indiana Jones himself if he actually existed, and not just on the TV screen. The disk was found at the beginning of the last century by an archaeologist from Italy named Luigi Pernier. There are some strange symbols on this disc. One can see their similarity with the hieroglyphs of the ancient Chinese written languages. Secrets are supposed to ancient world are contained in this message, because it is at least three thousand years old, it was made in the second millennium BC. The Phaistos disc is the most important of all the mysteries of archeology.


Mysterious underwater world

Secrets underwater world interesting to scientists and ordinary people on all continents. Learn about the ancient civilizations that lived before the Flood, uncover the secrets of the sunken Atlantis and solve other most challenging tasks related to the Hydrocosmos - this is important for understanding our history. And if earlier they devoted a lot of time to the study of the underwater world, now they have switched more to the study of space. But in the depths there are also many secrets that have not yet been comprehended!


Who are the NZOs?

Incomprehensible noises are recorded using modern acoustic devices (hydrophones). For the first time they were used by the American military services to track the movement of enemy submarines - the USSR. With the help of instruments, it was possible to listen not only to the songs of whales, but also to something more interesting. The secrets of the underwater world were not fully revealed to scientists from this, but they concluded that someone in the ocean was sending purposeful conscious signals. was named NSO - unidentified sound object. And who emits these signals to this day has not been established. Maybe these are the messengers of the ancient world, aliens, sea monsters or someone else?


"Quakers" of the oceans

Great scientists tried to answer the question of who makes interesting sounds “kva-kva” under water. Maybe it's a huge sea frog? Doubtful! It all started with the interest in this phenomenon of sailors who served on submarines. With the help of hydroacoustic devices, they picked up incomprehensible signals and called them Quakers. This name is even mentioned in the official documentation.


The sound came from objects that circled around the boats. This is exactly what was established thanks to direction finding. Incomprehensible creatures that could not be detected, as if they were trying to establish contact with the submarines, because they willingly responded to the signals of the submarine itself. And there was no aggression from the Quakers. The submarine was accompanied by creatures to a specific area and then they left it, saying goodbye to their usual “qua-qua”. What it was is still a mystery. So far, scientists have stopped working on it (or do it unnoticed by large masses of people so as not to sow panic), but the sounds have not disappeared and still inspire fear in sailors.

This anomalous zone does not reveal the secrets of the underwater world one iota, but only confuses researchers even more. Complex calculations, great research - and the mystery has not been solved. Since 1492, this place has been considered at least strange and frightening. The glow of water and sky, flames, a furious compass needle - all this is noted in the notes of the expedition of Columbus himself. In 1840, a place located near Bermuda, was given the unofficial name of the triangle. In this area, a self-moving vessel was then found, which was completely without a team. What happened to the crew and thousands of other people who disappeared in the area after a strange find, is unknown to modern science.


In this place, not only ships have disappeared and are disappearing, but also aircraft. And to find at least some wreckage and remains has not yet succeeded even once. But scientists studying the seabed in the Bermuda region stumbled upon a huge pyramid, several times larger than famous pyramid Cheops. The walls of this structure are absolutely smooth - there is no plaque, no shells or algae on them, and they are made of a material that resembles glass ceramics. The secrets of the underwater world, even with this discovery, have not been fully explored. The ocean is still a mystery to us, which interested ancient scientists and our contemporaries. Many studies of great scientists are classified. But sooner or later, everything secret becomes clear, so let's wait!

Atlantis is out of sight

The world only after millennia learned that there was another continent. And it will take the same amount of time to search for and study it. The secrets of the underwater world are revealed only to the persistent! Among the representatives of the ancient world, Aristotle mentioned Atlantis. But words are words, but evidence of the existence of the continent in the form of the remains of civilization has not yet been found. They say that the Atlanteans did not die all and founded their city in Tibet. And Mount Kailash is nothing but one of the pyramids built by these giants. But where they lived before and what actually happened to their homeland is known only from myths. Whether to believe them or not is up to you!


Secrets of the ancient world sea ​​depths, from one generation to another - this has always aroused and is of interest to people. Great scientists have not yet been able to solve a lot of mysteries. Suddenly it is you who can do it, write in the comments!

1928

Over the village of Shuknavolok near Vedlozero (Karelia), they observed the passage of a cylindrical ten-meter body, from the tail of which a flame came out. Having broken through the ice of the lake, the mysterious object went under water.
