Hello, my curious! Be all...
Weeeeeeeeeeeeelcome to a new video!
The history of humanity is full of fascinating mysteries
that have never been solved by anyone.
And as the first video of this series liked many of my followers...
Now I decided to do a second part with more mysteries.
From the Olmec Colossal Heads that no one knows how they were found and how they were moved,
to the story of some guys who escaped a maximum security prison,
and never heard from them again.
This video sounds good, right?
Only before I start with the topic, I have a small question for you.
In my previous video do you remember that I told you about an animal
that has the ability to survive extreme conditions, and is almost immortal?
Do you happen to remember his name?
To make it fun, I'm going to leave these 4 options on your screen.
Choose the one you believe is correct and write it down below in the comments at this time.
At the end of the video I'm going to tell you the name of that super tough animal,
and let's see if you guessed right with your answer, okay?
Now we are ready! Make yourself comfortable!
And enjoy it my friend!
I'm the Curious Ben. And... How curious are you?
The Escape of Alcatraz
On June 12, 1962, 3 men escaped from the Alcatraz maximum security prison.
They never heard from them again,
and their true destiny has been one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in all of history.
The 3 fugitives responded to the names of Frank Morris, Clarence Anglin and John Anglin.
As you can imagine, they were not the first to try to escape from this prison.
But they are the only ones in the entire history of Alcatraz that were never found...
Neither alive nor dead!
The story goes that in order to escape from prison,
the 3 men used spoons to dig an escape tunnel,
and made some paper heads that they used to mislead the prison guards.
June 12, 1962, was the last day that was heard of them,
and despite the fact that the FBI and the US authorities sought them tirelessly...
They were never seen again!
It was as well as the history of these 3 men
and their true destiny after escaping of the island of Alcatraz,
became one of the biggest mysteries of all history.
Number 9
The Pollock Twins
Joanna and Jacqueline Pollock were two girls who lost their lives in a tragic accident in 1957.
The funny thing is that only a year later
both girls reincarnated in the bodies of Gillian and Jennifer Pollock;
Even if you do not believe me, this case is still not explained by science.
Joanna and Jacqueline Pollock, 11 and 6 years old respectively,
were two girls from Great Britain daughters of the marriage between John and Florence Pollock.
Unfortunately, both died in a tragic accident in 1957.
Only a year after her death, Florence Pollock became pregnant again
and gave birth to twins Gillian and Jennifer.
At the young age of 3, his parents noticed that their two new daughters
behaved in very strange ways...
For example, they recognized the people of the town with whom they had never been before.
they knew certain corners of the house where the parents had never taken them.
and had birthmarks on their bodies that corresponded to the marks their deceased sisters had.
Even on one occasion, their parents heard them speaking in low voices
about what they felt when they died,
and it was then that they asked for the help of a psychiatrist named Ian Stevenson.
The case of the Pollock twins went around the world when it was made public.
So if you have some time and you think you're brave...
Although I doubt it!
I recommend you read more about it because it's going to blow your mind.
So, for all the unknowns left in the air with Gillian and Jennifer,
the story of the Pollock twins is one of the greatest mysteries known.
Number 8
Olmec Colossal Heads
The 'colossal heads' are gigantic heads
that are located on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
Although it is known that they were carved by the ancient 'Olmec' civilization,
it has never been clear how they were manufactured and transported.
History tells that in the year 1862,
a person found one of these heads in the Gulf Coast of Mexico.
In the following years, others appeared in the area, reaching a total of 17.
Since then the questions did nothing but increase,
especially when it was discovered that probably,
the colossal heads were carved more than 3000 years ago.
If that date is real...
It does not make any sense because for that time the Olmecs lived in the stone age.
Which means that they did not have the necessary tools to carve them.
And if that was not strange enough,
it is assumed that these heads were moved 70 kilometers from their original place.
And nobody knows how they did it,
especially taking into account that some of these weigh up to 40 tons.
As to date there is no explanation of how the Olmecs did to carve or transport them,
this enigma has become one of the greatest mysteries in the history of Mexico.
Number 7
The Loch Ness Monster
Nessie is the official name with which the Loch Ness Monster is known.
The existence of this legendary creature is still debated until our times,
and many consider it as one of the greatest mysteries in Scotland.
The oldest reference to Nessie dates back to the seventh century.
It is said that a certain Saint Columba saved the life of a man
who was being attacked by the beast of the lake.
Since then, the number of people who claim to have seen it was increasing,
and now many think it is a 100% real creature.
According to the testimonies of those who have seen it,
its appearance is similar to that of the plesiosaurs,
aquatic creatures that inhabited our planet more than 150 million years ago.
I know, it is impossible that a plesiosaurus could survive to this day,
but if that were the case, that would only open another mystery in this story.
Of course, the two occasions in which expeditions were organized to the lake
to try to find it, could not find it.
The story of Nessie has been full of strange details,
fraudulent photos and a lot of controversy,
but it is still considered one of the greatest mysteries in history.
-Damn garbage! -Benny, what's Nessie doing in your fish tank?
Number 6
The Shroud of Turin
Also known as the Santa Sindone, the Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth
where the image of a man is marked.
Many assure that this man is Jesus of Nazareth himself,
and that with this cloth his body was wrapped on the day of his burial.
That theory has never been proven,
and the authenticity of it remains a complete mystery to this day.
For many years, the shroud of Turin was recognized as the holy blanket
where the body of Jesus was wrapped when he died.
Due to the great interest that this gave to believers,
a group of experts wanted to study it more in detail to know if it was authentic.
The first analyzes began in the seventies,
but it was not until 1988 that a conclusion was reached.
The 3 laboratories that analyzed it in that year,
said that the Shroud was manufactured by some unknown person in the Middle Ages,
between 1260 and 1390.
If that is the case, that means that it never belonged to Jesus
because he lived more than a thousand years before the fabric was made.
As you can imagine, despite the results of these analyzes,
many believe that the fabric is authentic and that it really belonged to Jesus.
And that is why, it is considered as one of the most sacred and mysterious objects in all history.
Number 5
The Secret Tomb of Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan was a Mongol conqueror
who led the most extensive superpower the world has ever seen.
The mysterious thing is that despite being such an important person in history,
the location of his grave remains a complete enigma but because he wanted it that way.
The story goes that before he died, Genghis Khan left clear instructions:
He did not want his grave to ever be found.
When he left this world on August 18 of the year 1227,
an army was instructed to follow his instructions.
Buried his body in a place so secret,
that although many have searched, have never found.
The reason that nothing is known of his grave
is because necessary measures were employed for it.
For example, it is said that the army that carried his body to the funeral,
was killing all the people they found on the road to leave no witnesses.
After burying it, they took their own lives to fulfill the orders of their deceased emperor.
According to several legends,
it is said that Genghis Khan was buried with several of his most valuable possessions,
and that is why dozens of people have tried to find him,
but until now it has been impossible.
The only clue currently available suggests that the tomb of Genghis Khan
could be located in the province of Khentii, northeast of Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia.
But since that has never been proven,
its true location remains one of the greatest mysteries of all time.
Number 4
The Tunguska Event
In the year 1908, a violent explosion left an area of Siberia totally destroyed,
and to this day no one know exactly what happened.
The Tunguska event is the name given to an explosion that took place on June 30, 1908.
The explosion was so strong
that it is estimated that it released a thousand times more energy
than that released by the atomic bomb of Hiroshima.
The 2,000 square kilometers of this area were totally destroyed
and the trees succumbed to the power of that explosion.
The few witnesses of the event were more than 60 kilometers away from the site,
and they said they saw something like a bluish fireball crashed very fast on the ground.
A few seconds later they began to feel a scorching heat that they had never felt,
and they heard a shuddering sound like a detonation.
The ground trembled at that moment, the windows of the houses exploded,
and many trees could not stand the shock wave either.
Since then, attempts have been made to explain exactly what caused this destruction,
but a definitive conclusion has never been reached.
There are no crater marks or anything like that,
so the questions have never been answered.
Because of all these questions that exist,
the Tunguska event is one of the most mysterious events in all of history.
-What a stupid thing! -Shut up, Benny.
They will discover us!
Number 3
The Bena Tshadi football team
In 1998, all the members of a football team lost their lives
when lightning struck the court in which they played.
The strange thing about this is that other people were unharmed,
and it was never known what caused the 11 players of this team to die.
History says that in October of 1998,
Bena Tshadi and Basanga played a game of the amateur league of the Congo
under heavy and intense rain.
At the beginning of the second half, a strong lightning hit the pitch violently,
ending the lives of Bena Tshadi's 11 players.
Mysteriously all the members of the visiting team,
as well as the people who had arrived to watch the game,
left unharmed and without a single scratch.
This encouraged theories of all kinds,
and many people said that it was an act of witchcraft or something like that.
Although that theory obviously could never be proven or denied,
what is certain is that such a tragic event
remains one of the greatest mysteries of our history.
Number 2
The Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui
As well as the Loch Ness Monster,
in Scotland they also have another mystery that has never been solved...
That of the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui
History says that in a place known as Ben MacDhui
that is on a mountainous area in Scotland,
there lives a creature that they know as the the Big Grey Man.
The few who have seen it describe it as an extremely tall figure,
similar to the Yeti, and sometimes transformed into a transparent spectrum,
as if it were a ghost or spirit.
Those who have climbed this mountain, and have seen it face to face,
say that the gray man makes you feel very strange,
but never behaves violently.
Moreover, to date, no mortal victims are known.
The little evidence that exists about the gray man
is based on the testimonies of these mountaineers,
and in a few photographs of strange footprints, which supposedly belong to him.
Currently there is no explanation for the identity of this gray man,
you do not know what it is, if it is real or it is a simple invented character.
And as long as we do not discover it,
I think it will remain on the list of the biggest mysteries in the world.
Welcome to the Himalayas!
Number 1
Stone Labyrinths of Bolshoi Zayatsky Island
On the Bolshoi Zayatsky island located in Russia,
there are 13 or 14 stone labyrinths that to this day remain a complete mystery.
The investigations have never been able to solve the riddle
about who built them or with what objective.
The island of Bolshoi Zayatsky is part of the Solovetsky archipelago in Russia,
and although perhaps you have never heard of this site before,
It is very famous because it is the home of these mysterious structures.
What little is known about them is that they measure between 6 and 25 meters in diameter,
have shapes similar to circles, and their dating says they are 3,000 years old...
If not more!
The reason that these formations are so mysterious
is that it is not known why they were used or who was their constructor.
There are no official records, much less a story that explains more about them.
And it's weird to run into this on an island in the middle of nowhere.
Don't you think?
Because of that, all kinds of theories and legends about these things have emerged.
Some say that these labyrinths are doors to the underworld or something like that,
while others say they were traps that our ancestors used to catch fish...
Wonder!
So, since we probably never know who built them or why...
To know if they are labyrinths!
At present, the Bolshoi structures are considered
one of the greatest mysteries in Russian history.
And that's all for today!
This video was good, right?
Well if you liked it as much as I did, and you would like it to do a third part,
you should leave a thumbs up at this moment because that helps me a lot
to know if you like the idea, or better not.
So if you want another video about mysteries and data similar to this...
You know what to do!
The answer of the riddle, by the way, is option D.
The tardigrades are amazing animals that can survive all kinds of extreme conditions,
such as cold or extreme heat, among others.
On our planet there are animals with abilities and characteristics that are as surprising
as those of the tardigrade, for example, these goats that climb almost vertically.
So if you want to watch a video with 10 animals that have impressive abilities...
I'll leave a link here above so you can go direct to see it at this time.
And as I always tell you at the end...
Before you leave, do not forget to share this video with all your friends
