With all the advances in science in the last century, we have gained so much confidence that we can do anything that we could not be done in the past. But what! If I tell you that there are still things that remain as mysteries in this world. Mysteries that even science cannot solve. Unbelievable, right? But better believe it.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Pyramid and the Terracotta Army, China
At the location of this pyramid, it is said that a river of mercury and mini city used to be there. Having been discovered, there was a lot of scientific work done. Recent scientific work at the site has found high levels of mercury in the soil of the said tomb mound. There was also that terracotta army found. Creating an army of sculptures would definitely take a lot of time and patience. So, these Terracotta sculptures are portraying the armies of the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. It is said that this is a form of funerary art buried with the Emperor in 210–209 BCE and its purpose is to protect the Emperor in his afterlife. The army figures vary according to their roles, having the generals as the tallest and so on. In the figures, warriors, chariots, and horses are also included.
Voynich Manuscript
This manuscript has been proven as a very reliable manuscript from the middle ages and believed to be some sort of medical book. It is said that this is a book with consistent script, visible organization, and contains very detailed illustrations. However, this manuscript remains a puzzle for no one has yet succeeded in deciphering it. And because of that, it has become one of the most famous cases in the history of cryptography. It might appear to be a real language but currently, nobody has seen it before. And it might also appear that it means something but nobody seems to know what it is. There is also no consensus on whoever wrote it and what does it mean. So, do you think there will be someone who can finally decipher it?
Giant Stone Balls, Costa Rica
Found in Costa Rica and a few surrounding areas, these giant stones are scattered everywhere and are locally known as Las Bolas. Honestly, these stones have been shaped and molded to perfection by unknown persons. These giant balls are said to have a smooth texture and are nearly perfectly spherical well. So, being curious about these balls, local decided to blast it hoping to find something inside the balls like gold or other valuable items. But unluckily, they found none. And what’s more is that the purpose of these balls are still unknown despite the fact that these were already there for many years now.
Cocaine and Tobacco Mummy Residue
Was residues from those drugs really found in the mummies? Apparently, they were. So, how did it get there? Egyptians are fond of creating mummies especially for their Emperors or Rulers thus making their body preserved until their belief in the afterlife. After having found residues of those drugs in it is a real mystery that no one know how it got there. There was no transoceanic contact between Africa and South America in the ancient times. Or maybe there was? And it disappeared over the centuries. We will probably never know.
