Main mysteries. Puzzles

There are so many unsolved mysteries and mysteries in the world that it even becomes a little uncomfortable! Someone is constantly trying to comprehend these secrets of the higher worlds, but in Once again is failing. 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

It was not possible to unravel the unknown language in which the manuscript was written. In 1912, Wilfrid Voynich, a dealer in antique books, acquired 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 early XIX 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 he decided to encrypt the location of real wealth from a large number of precious metals and stones. 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

The secrets of the underwater world are interesting to scientists and ordinary people on all continents. Learn about ancient civilizations that lived before Flood, reveal the secrets of the submerged Atlantis and solve other most complex problems associated with 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 publishes underwater interesting sounds"qua-qua". 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, the 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, but also aircraft disappeared and disappear. 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 the famous pyramid of 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!

The secrets of the ancient world, the depths of the sea, 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!

We will tell you the history of the appearance of riddles, as well as where riddles can be used.

Riddles appeared a very long time ago and have always been a test of not only human knowledge - they required observation, the ability to see their similarities and differences in the most ordinary objects, they required the ability to perceive the world figuratively, poetically.

All primitive peoples had a rite of initiation of boys into full members of the clan - hunters. To pass the test of maturity, the boy had to prove his physical strength, dexterity, courage - to kill a huge predator, withstand pain. And he had to show his mind, knowledge, ingenuity in guessing riddles. It turns out that in those distant times, the riddle was the main body of knowledge and information of a person about outside world. Among the ancient Greeks and Germans, guessing riddles was equated with martial arts. Their legends tell us about how those who did not solve the riddles paid with their lives.

The Slavs also had beliefs that mermaids destroy people who did not guess their riddles. And their riddles were:

what grows without roots? (Stone);

what blooms without a flower? (Fern);

yes that runs without a reason? (Water).

In Russian folk wedding customs, up to the 19th century, guessing riddles was an indispensable part of the wedding ceremony. The bridesmaids made wishes to the groom and groomsmen difficult riddles and did not let them into the hut to the bride until they received the correct answer. Well, in Russian folk tales, you yourself already know this very well, the princess marries the one who managed to guess all her riddles.

The Russian people made things and phenomena that they constantly encountered in everyday life and at work as the subject of their riddles. Earth and sky, natural phenomena, the world of animals, domestic and wild, interior decoration huts, utensils, utensils, agricultural and any other work - this is the main thematic circle of objects and phenomena of life, covered in riddles.

Riddles come up with people to this day. This is a very exciting activity - try it! Any riddle is an intricate question or allegory that requires an answer. They are compiled in a short and entertaining form, most often in verse. They are characterized by clarity, expressiveness and accuracy of definitions. Most often, riddles contain a list of signs by which one must guess what objects or phenomena are being discussed. The simplicity or complexity of the riddle depends on how many of these signs, how detailed they characterize what is hidden. For example, in the riddle “Not fire, but it burns” (nettle), one sign is indicated, but it is so characteristic that it is enough for guessing. Sometimes riddles contain 3-4 signs each: “Round, humpbacked, near hairy, trouble will come - water will flow” (eye). Each of these signs is needed to determine the hidden word. But, of course, the most interesting thing in any riddle is the figurative, poetic perception of the surrounding world.

World history holds a lot of mysteries. Despite ever-improving methods and billions in research budgets, there are some things that science has not explained.

1. Was there Atlantis?

Atlantis is the most famous of. Plato wrote about it in detail. She was mentioned in their writings by Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Posidonius, Strabo and Proclus. According to Plato, the island was located to the west of the Pillars of Hercules, opposite the mountains of Atlanta. During a strong earthquake, he went under water in one day. It happened around 9500 BC.
Atlantis has been searched all over the world, from Gibraltar to Peru and Brazil, but to date there is not a single scientifically based theory of its location.

2. Was there a global flood?

It is mentioned not only in the canonical books of the Bible, but also in the later apocrypha. For example, in the Book of Enoch. There is a story about the flood in other books, in the Jewish Haggadah and Midrash Tanchuma, as well as in the Sumerian myth of Ziusudra. The first Sumerian flood poems that have come down to us date back to XVIII century BC.
There are references to the transgressions of the sea in the myths of all cultures, but was there really a flood? Historians cannot yet give a definite answer. However, it is known, for example, that around 5600 BC. in the Mediterranean there was a real flood, when due to earthquakes the level of the Black Sea rose by 140 meters, it increased by 1.5 times, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov appeared. Perhaps, for the inhabitants of those places, this was the “global flood”.

3. Who built the pyramids?

No matter how modern reenactors and scientists struggle to solve the riddle, no convincing versions of how they were built have yet been found. Some experts say that the pyramids were built from ready-made blocks hewn in the rock, others (Joseph Davilowitz) say that the blocks were already made at the construction site from a mixture of stone chips and “geopolymer concrete” based on limestone. The incredible complexity of the process casts doubt on all hypotheses. The question of who built the pyramids, slaves or civilian workers, and how many there were, also remains open.

4. Where did the Maya go?

The Mayan civilization was one of the most developed, but by the time the conquistadors arrived, only scattered forest tribes remained from the Mayans, underdeveloped and not representing a serious force. They lived in huts and did not build majestic temples with palaces. Where did the Maya go? The mystery is still unsolved. There are many versions, from epidemic and war to alien intervention, but none of them is proven.

5. Who were the Sumerians?

The world community learned about it only in mid-nineteenth century, when scientists proved that there was a state in Mesopotamia, whose age reaches 6000 years. It was from him that Babylon and Assyria inherited their culture.
It is still unknown where the Sumerians came to Mesopotamia. It is assumed that this was a mountainous region, since the words "country" and "mountain" are spelled the same in the Sumerian language. It also had to be an area with advanced technology - the Sumerians were pioneers in many fields of knowledge, from astronomy to physics. Presumably, but not yet proven, that this could be the south of India.

6. Did the Vikings discover America?

The discoveries of America are being voiced more and more often, but the Columbus version is still the official one. What is interesting about both of them is that both times America was discovered by mistake (a Scandinavian merchant named Bjarni Herjulfsson was thrown off course due to a storm, and Columbus sailed to India).
There is much less material on the Norman version than on the Columbus one, and not all of them are considered authentic, which greatly undermines its credibility.

7. Who were the Hyksos?

They are called "shepherd kings". It was during their reign that a two-wheeled war chariot appeared in Egypt, which changed the tactics of warfare. Little is known about them. The Hyksos are nomadic tribes, "rulers of the desert highlands", who invaded Egypt around 1700. BC e. They ruled it for over 100 years and even founded a whole dynasty of Hyksos kings. The Hyksos were expelled from Egypt only by the founder of the XVIII dynasty Ahmose I in 1587 BC. e. The question of who exactly the Hyksos were, where they came from and where they disappeared remains open.

8. Why did the Neanderthals die out?

The human genome is about 99.5% identical, but this does not mean that we are descended from Neanderthals. With monkeys, we have a genome similarity of 98%.
Contrary to popular belief that Neanderthals were semi-wild, they were not. It was a fairly advanced evolutionary branch, they even knew how to make musical instruments. Versions of their disappearance are as follows: 1) Assimilation; 2) Cro-Magnon genocide; 3) glacial period, which they could not stand, because they did not know how to make clothes as unnecessary.
None of these versions is yet scientifically validated.

9. Where did the Scythians disappear to?

The Scythians fought with the Sarmatians, Philip and Alexander the Great, with the Goths and Huns. It is believed that after the defeat by the latter, most of the Scythians died, while many became part of the victorious army. In history, because of this, there is a lot of confusion with the late definition of the Scythians. Some historians rank Chechens and Ossetians among the descendants of the Scythians.

10. Why did Alexander the Great die?

We still don't know where he is buried. This significantly reduces the chances of finding out main riddle- why he died in the prime of his life, at the age of 32. The Persians, whom he mercilessly defeated, claimed that the commander was punished by heaven for desecrating the grave of King Cyrus. The Macedonians who returned home said that the great commander died of drunkenness and debauchery (sources brought us information about his 360 concubines). Roman historians believed that he was poisoned with some kind of Asian slow-acting poison. According to the most common version, Alexander died of malaria. She does not explain why she delivered such a "single blow".

After the trial of the Templars, he discovered that there were not so many jewels and gold in the treasuries. Where the Templar gold went is a mystery. It is known that the surviving Templars transported part of the accumulated treasures on ships, but it is not known for certain where.

According to one version, it was built by the Druids, according to another - by the Celts, according to the third - by the ancient Britons, according to the fourth - by Merlin himself. There are those who claim that Stonehenge is a hoax and was built in modern times.
It is also unknown how exactly Stonehenge was built. During the restoration of the complex, which began in 1901 and was completed only in 1964, the stones were moved using cranes, but in the Middle Ages there was no such technique.

17. How were the monuments built on Easter Island?

Among researchers, the most widely accepted theory is that moai on Easter Island were erected by settlers from the Polynesian islands in the 11th century. How they did it is still unknown. Thor Heyerdahl's experiments were only partially successful. His method of transportation was not suitable for multi-meter colossi weighing 50 tons or more. The Norwegian scientist also failed to explain how caps weighing up to two tons were put on the Maoi.

Destroyed the ancient world, building on its ruins the Middle Ages. Despite many versions, it is still not clear what has become main reason barbarian movements. As is usually the case in such cases, scientists talk about the sum of the factors. Firstly, about overpopulation in Scandinavia, and secondly, about the change climatic conditions(cooling and increased humidity), finally, about a shift in social strata - the tribal elite that came to power was interested in profit. The best target was the Roman Empire.

20. Who sponsored the Bolsheviks?

The question of whether in Russia is still debatable. For a long time the main version was that the German General Staff played the first role in financing, but today more and more historians are inclined to believe that support was from England, and from Wall Street, and even from the Old Believers, who had close business contacts with English industrialists.
