California mistery

Racetrack Playa
How ordinary stones manage to "sail" over the surface of racetrack playa in Death Valley National Park is a mystery people have tried to solve since 1915, when a prospector and his wife noticed tracks that seemed to indicate that the stones had somehow traveled across the dry earth. Short of cosmic intervention, the stones required terrestrial forces to move them.

The current prevailing theory about the "sailing stones" of Racetrack Playa, presented by a team of physicists in 2011, involves ice that forms around the stones, causing them to move and to leave a trail in their wake. Many visitors still hope for a more mystical explanation.

Underground cities mistery

Cheyenne Mountain Once home to NORAD, this underground city was built down Colorado's Cheyenne Mountain to hold thousands of people and withstand a nuclear attack. Though it was secure during the Cold War, advances in missile technology mean that it's no longer a sure bet when the nukes fall.

Portland In Portland, Oregon on the west coast of the United States, there's a wide network of underground tunnels, former homes and businesses. The place was used almost entirely for bars before and during Prohibition,...

And how its possible? Carved from stone, the nearly 900 human figures are sprinkled along the flanks of the island’s extinct volcanoes. The figures average 13 feet tall and weigh 14 tons and appear to have been chiseled from the soft volcanic(heat hill) tuff found in the Rano Raraku quarry. There, more than 400 statues are still in many other states of construction, with some completed figures awaiting transportation to their thought resting place. The reasons for carving the moai are mysterious, though they were likely sculpted for religious or ritual(like ritual reason) reasons. It’s also not exactly clear what happened to the stone crafting Rapa Nui, but a leading theory suggests their civilization s...
