Nan Madol

This is Nan madol, a thousand five hundread year old ruined city near the small island of Temwen.

Temwen is home to only a few people, all of whom are afraid shit less by Nan Madol. They refuse(other) to visit it. To them, the city is taboo, evil, cursed, and, like, really far from any quality restaurants. Just not a good picnic spot, all things considered.

Ofcourse, that does not stop archaeologists(old things), who have to fulfill an annual curse quota or risk losing tenure. They've been searching the massive ruins for a while now, taunting its various angry ghosts(horror) and trying to discover(find) its origins. They basically have no clue. We know very little about Nan Madol. It was likely the seat of the Saudeleur dynasty(different to find clue), but why they built this impossible place, and how, remains a mystery. We know that the 200 plus acre city is comprised of roughly a hundred small human made islands, consisting of about 800,000 tons of building materials. Some of the individual boulders weigh over 50000 kilo grams all by themselves.

All of this makes precisely zero sense. It's a bunch of miniscule islands surrounded by water in every direction what's with all the friggin' mammoth stones? Archaeologists believe they came from neighboring islands, but that doesn't explain how. They've tried to replicate a possible method of transport by floating the blocks over on wooden rafts, only to have the rafts promptly sink because, 50ton stones.

The petrified locals, of course, have their own theories: They believe the blocks were levitated there by dark magic that pervades the place to this day to which Science laughed, and continued sinking boulders in the ocean.

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

Derinkuyu This ancient Turkish city could house more than 50 thousand people, reached eleven stories below ground, and was built in the 7th or 8th century by Christians hiding from persecution. Turkey is full of underground cities, in part because the volcanic rock in the region is easy to carve out. 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. So NORAD has been moved to a new location, and the city remains standing some people still live there but it may become a museum soon. 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,

Chinese mistery

Qin Shi Huang's tomb In 1974, farmers in China's Shaanxi province accidentally unearthed one of the biggest archaeological(old thing) finds of the 20th century the life size terracotta army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 B.C. – 210 B.C.). The not clearly carved figures aren't a mystery:- Historians know that the clay army was created to defend China's first emperor in the after life. What is not known, however, is where exactly the emperor is buried or what treasures his burial chamber might contain. A pyramid shaped mausoleum(cemetry) is located about a mile to the northeast of where the terracotta army was discovered. However, no one has actually entered the mausoleum that holds Qin Shi Huang's remains. The first emperor's final resting place is the most opulent tomb ever constructed in China, according to ancient documents describing its construction. An underground palace, complete with a surrounding "kingdom," the mau
