The world is your oyster and you can travel pretty much anywhere
right well not exactly there are some forbidden places on earth which you
cannot go to if you did travel into any of these
places you would put your freedom health and even life at risk so let's
take a look at these amazing yet scary places i
dare you to visit doomsday vault norway when we think of a doomsday world
we imagine politicians and billionaires hiding out after a nuclear blast
but there's no living people allowed in the svalbard global seed vault
if there was ever a nuclear explosion on earth then many seeds would be wiped out
this could mean that certain plants and foods would never grow again
causing massive issues that's why in 2008 the global seed vault was
officially opened it's said to be one of the most guarded
and secure places on earth inside is over four hundred thousand
types of seeds ninety thousand of which are food crops
the reason why it's in an icy area of norway is because it would not be too
affected if there was a nuclear blast lots of funding for this actually came
from microsoft founder and billionaire bill gates
this has led to some theories that gates may try to use the bunker in the event
of a global crisis or apocalypse but that's only speculation for now
though this vault may be the best way to keep humanity going if there's ever an
apocalypse diego garcia britain
on the surface this place looks like an amazing tropical retreat
diego garcia is an island located in british indian ocean territory
it has white sandy beaches and coral reefs
but there's a dark past which means this place is
forbidden in 1973 the uk government forcibly evicted everyone on the island
the government then built a large military base on diego garcia
since then the island has been shrouded in secrecy
many say that the cia used this to do terrible interrogations on people
and it's also known as the british guantanamo bay
in 2016 some thought the base was going to close
but then the uk and usa met up and they decided to continue the base until at
least 2036. so for now we have no idea what
goes on on this forbidden military island
las cow caves france in 1940 this labyrinth of caves was
discovered archaeologists were amazed because it
had the best preserved stone age art in the world it's thought this art is over
17 300 years old it soon became a top
tourist attraction and many went down to the caves
but in 1955 experts realized that tourists were ruining the rock paintings
that's because of the carbon dioxide heat and humidity humans produce there
were basically so many people down there that it was melting the cave paintings
that's why these caves were closed in 1963
but that has not stopped some people from trying to break into these caves to
check out the stone age art to this day though they're closely guarded by french
cops and you're strictly forbidden from going down there
also no one's down there and most of the caves are locked
this means if you did go down there there's a pretty good chance you'd be
lost in the labyrinth of caves the scary thing is it's so dark down
there that no one would ever come and rescue you
