Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing channel on the internet.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 Mysteries that
are close to being solved.
Time….
The most powerful of investigators!
Some mysteries have lasted a millennia, but in the end I feel like time will erode all
secrets… so what is looking likely?
Before we get into the video why don’t you let me know what you think the biggest mystery
of all time is – for me It has to be creation of the universe, right?
We have an idea, a good theory, but no answer to what may have caused the big bang….
Like shar, thumbs up stay tuned – comments
10 - Fast Radio Bursts Fast Radio Bursts were first discovered in
2007 and are powerful radio pulses that emit more energy in one millisecond than the sun
does all day.
While researchers think they are a regular occurrence, we have only picked up the short
bursts a dozen or so times in the past 12 years.
The issue is that they tend to just happen once, although we may have found one that
repeats itself sporadically, which will allow researchers to get a better look at it.
This burst has been named FRB 121102…of course!
This specific burst comes from three billion light years away and is 500 times greater
than the others recorded.
With FRBs getting attention, we are closer to finding out what is causing them and where
exactly they are coming from.
9 - The Void in the Pyramid The Great Pyramids of Giza are still quite
the mystery and the plot has only thickened since The Heritage Innovation Preservation
and the University of Cairo teamed up to scan the pyramids.
Yes.
Scan.
You see archeologists are wary of disturbing the architecture of intact pyramids but without
doing so, they have no idea what is inside.
Very strangely, the Pyramid housing the tomb of the great Pharaoh Khufu showed a weird
void when it was scanned.
Built in 2560 BC, this mysterious void has been locked away and secret for over 4000
years.
By scanning the pyramid with cosmic rays, the team behind the research estimate that
the void of 98 feet long and 50 feet high…which is pretty big.
It seems this void is completely sealed off from any known passageways inside the pyramid.
There is no way to get to it…so how was it built?
Well these are the questions intriguing everyone… and it seems the mystery is on the cusp of
being solved by Robot drones.
Yes.
Robot drones.
In order to minimize damage to the ancient structure, a team will drill a small hall
and send a little robot in to explore.
I mean….
How many more mysteries can be solved by deploying spy robots?
I am here for it!
8 - Zodiac Killer Ciphers The Zodiac killer is the name given to an
unidentified murderer active in North California from the late 1960s to early 1970s.
The murderer took the lives of five people, but claims to have killed 37.
The killer gets their name from a series of Ciphers sent to press publications . The first
cipher was 408 characters long and was decoded by a history teacher and his wife.
The first Cipher behan - "I like killing people because it is so much fun it is more fun than
killing wild game in the forrest.
It was incorrectly spelled but it was creepy anyway.
That was the only cipher to be cracked, although in 2011 it was thought the second cipher was
close to being cracked, while others say that is impossible as the others were total gibberish.
Either way, as time moves on, it seems more and more likely we will find the killer – in
2018 the Golden State Killer’s identity was revealed as 72 year old Navy veteran and
former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.
It took 40 years to find him, but better DNA technology came through in the end.
With this in mind, I wouldn’t write-off the Zodiac Killer just yet/
7 - The Steven Avery Case The first season of Making a Murderer came
out in 2015 and the second part was released in 2018.
Both shed serious doubt on his conviction for the murder of Teresa Halbach.
Avery, as we know from the show, was wrongly convicted of sexual assault and attempted
murder and served 18 years in jail for the crime he didn’t commit.
A lot of holes have been found in the murder case against him and his so called accomplice,
Brendan Dassey had his conviction overturned in the grounds of confession as a result of
coercion.
Avery has hot shot lawyer, Kathleen Zellner, on his case and right now there is a lot of
attention being put into getting to the bottom of what actually happened to Teresa.
6 - MH370 Every day we
get closer to finding out what happened to missing flight MH370 that disappeared on route
from Kuala Lumpu r international aiport in Malaysia to Beijing In China.
The plane went missing 5 years ago and fragments of wreckage have purportedly been found, although
there is no certainty it belonged to the plane.
Well, now a 70 million dollar ocean search has been launched by a Texan company called
Ocean infinity.
The mission is scanning 500 square miles of sea a day in a three montsh search.
Some people think the plane never crashed at all and was hijacked and landed.
There are still a lot of top analysts looking into the disappearance and I have a strong
feeling time will tell!
5 - Yeti Last year, researchers announced that they
were closer to discovering the truth behind rumours of the seemingly mythical yeti, abominable
snowman or sasquatch…whichever name you fancy going with.
It seems that multiple DNA samples thought to have been left by a yeti are being examined
and so far most have been linked to a species of Asian bear.
The creature has been prominent in folklore since the 1900s but more reasonable DNA readings
may render the beast the stuff of legends once and for all.
4 - The Bermuda Triangle Is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle on
the cusp of being solved?
John F Myhre thinks so – and he has been searching for lost flight 19 for over 30 years.
He has written a book about it too and thinks that two of the missing planes crashed around
Sebastian in Florida and the other three crashed in the ocean around Daytona beach.
In a recent interview he said Everyday the technology, the detection equipment, gets
beigger, better and cheaper and more folks are getting out there – they will find these
airplanes.
The Bermuda triangle has been linked to the disappearance of a number of aircraft and
boats.
British scientists believe that the cause is giant rogue waves, although that wouldn’t
effect aircraft.
Others say the entire area is prone to bad weather.
3 - Stonehenge Stonehenge is a collection of monoliths that
were erected some 5,000 years ago.
Until recently, how and why the monument was built at a time before humans seemingly had
the ability to haul such huge pieces of rock has been a mystery.
We didn’t even know where exactly the rocks came from.
It is thought they were dragged from a quarry in West Wales, and the monument was built
in four stages.
It has now been revealed that the bodies found near stone henge likely came from wales, too.
It seems that finally a new study conducted by researchers from the university of Oxford
has unearthed the stone highways used to transport the stones to the Salisbury Plains.
While we still don’t know exactly why the monument was built, we are getting a lot closer
to unlocking the mysteries.
2 - Amelia Earhart The missing case of Amelia Earhart has stumped
people for years.
The female aviator made her name by being the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic
and receiving the distinguished Flying Cross.
She was also an author who wrote about her flying experiences, inspiring more to follow
in her footsteps.
Unfortunately the pioneer pilot went missing in 1937 amid an attempt to fly around the
globe in one swoop.
She was well known in her day and had set many flying records, so when she disappeared
it was big news.
She disappeared along with her navigator, Fred Noonan, over the Pacific Ocean near Howland
Island.
Until very recently her death was quite the mystery – with many people generating wild
theories.
Some say she crashed into the ocean and died, others think she landed safely but was taken
prisoner by the Japanese, who were hostile towards Americans ahead of World War Two.
Others say she became part of a tribe.
Well it seems that modern DNA analysis may have the answer – bones found on the island
of Nikumaroro have finally been linked to the pilot.
They had originally been written off but now testing so far certainly seems likely to point
towards Earhart!
If they are hers, we will know she died as a castaway.
My favourite mystery at number one…a space mystery!
1 - MARS I love to start and end a lost with space
as space really is the greatest mystery.
While we may be a long while off understanding or proving the big bang, we are just moments
away from unlocking the secrets to Mars!
What a mystery!
Humans first touched down on the moon fifty years ago, and since then we have been unlocking
the secrets of space as fast as we can.
After humans landed on the moon we set our sights on our next closest neighbour, Mars.
We sadly lost contact with the last of our Mars Rovers, Opportunity earlier this year,
but we have a brand new Rover mission planned for 2020 and we hope to have a manned mission
by the year 2030.
The more research we do and the more data we get back from Mars, the closer we get to
understanding what is going over there.
Some conspiracists think there is an ancient civilization out there … I guess we will
find out!
WELL that was the Top ten mysteries that are close to being solved!
What did you think to this list?
Let me know!
Comments from the Top 10 Things Pulled Up From Drains
Tina Belec said: In my 18 years of life I found in my drain just a lot of hair.
In my opinion the grossest thing in this video were probably the worms, because they are
just disgusting.
No thanks.
Congrats on 5 million!
Keep up the good work….
WELL thank you!
Alex Coupland said: Rebecca’s hair looks GREAT btw the scariest thing I've found in
my drain was hair ??? Drain chat!
Elvin Ellis Smith Jnr said: I saw this greenish-black water come threw my shower.
It.was.gross.
And yes everyone’s okay and we got a new shower
A lot of you enjoyed all of the hair being pulled up
from the drain – so…you are welcome.
