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.).

Relampago del Catatumbo Thanks to its humidity, its elevation and the clash of winds from the mountains and the sea, the southwestern corner of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela has the world's highest frequency of lightning activity (250 flashes per square kilometer per year).

To put that in perspective: The National Weather Service classifies anything over 12 strikes per minute as "excessive."

Devil sea Also known as Dragon's Triangle because of ancient legends suggesting dragons living off the coast of Japan. There has been a lot of suspicious activity along this region like  numerous disappearances of ships and planes. In 1952, the Japanese Government sent an investigation team of 31 members. Sadly, the whole team including the ship disappeared in the sea, never to be seen again. Another story tells of Kublai Khan's disastrous attempts to invade Japan by crossing the Devil's Sea, losing at least 40 000 men in the process. Other speculations range from aliens, to gates to parallel universes, high volcanic activity leading to disappearances and even to Atlantis.
