Incredible Facts
History is a rather vast subject and it is impossible to fully study it, especially in the smallest detail.
Sometimes these seemingly insignificant details can become a very part of it.
Here are some interesting facts from history that will not be covered in class.

People, stories and facts
9. This amazing view, known as " majestic argentine bird", whose wingspan reached 7 meters, is the largest flying bird in history.

Unexplained and mysterious facts of history

19. It is believed that Catholic saints do not decay. The oldest of the "non-decomposing" is Caecilia of Rome who was martyred in 177 AD. Her body remains virtually the same as it was 1,700 years ago when it was discovered.
20. Cipher from Chaboro in the UK is one of the unsolved mysteries so far. If you look closely, you can see the inscription in the form of letters on the monument: DOUOSVAVVM. No one knows who carved this inscription, but many believe it is the key to finding holy grail.
Sometimes the most incredible things happen on our planet. We are somehow used to fantastic and mystical stories, so we do not always believe in miracles. mysterious phenomena happen in reality. There is irrefutable evidence for this. What are the megalithic structures scattered all over the planet worth! Whatever theories put forward by scientists, they cannot explain their origin. There are other artifacts that also do not fit into existing theories and paradigms. Let's talk about them.
ice woman
This story can surpass in incredible improbability any other mysterious phenomena.
It was in Langby, Minnesota. It was a cold frosty day. The temperature dropped so low that it was scary to go outside. At such a time, Jean Hilliard, a nineteen-year-old girl, was discovered. She was completely frozen. The limbs did not bend, the skin froze. She was sent to the hospital. The doctors were amazed. The girl was an ice statue. The mystical phenomena demonstrated by the young organism were just beginning. Doctors were sure that the girl would die. And even if the situation developed in a positive direction, she was threatened with amputation of limbs, a long serious illness. However, after a couple of hours, Jean came to her senses, thawed out. She had no consequences of "freezing". Even the frostbite is gone.
Delhi: iron pillar
Mysterious phenomena can occur with the most ordinary, at first glance, materials. Well, who are you going to surprise with iron these days? And if you say that it was made more than one and a half thousand years ago?
Of course it's incredible. However, in Delhi there is a structure that already adorns the city. It is made of pure iron. This is a seven meter high column. It is not subject to corrosion. Some experts believe that it could not be made on earth in those days. However, such an artifact exists. It must be indicated when describing the Photo, unfortunately, does not reflect all the incredible majesty and significance of this building. By the way, studies have shown that the column is 98% iron. Ancient people were not able to obtain material of such purity. This is a complex technological process.
Carroll A. Deering
Mystical phenomena often occur in the ocean. The Flying Dutchmen have been talked about for centuries. Not all stories are true, of course. But there are also documented facts.
So, an interesting and mysterious fate befell the crew of the schooner with the name "Carroll A. Deering". She was discovered on the very last day of 1921. Since she gave the impression of a ship in distress, rescuers went to her. Their amazement, mixed with horror, is simply impossible to convey. There was not a single person on the schooner. But there were also no signs of disaster or catastrophe. Everything looked as if people disappeared suddenly, without having time to understand what had happened. They just evaporated. They took with them personal belongings and a ship's log, although they left cooked food in place. No explanation has been found for this fact.
Hutchison effect
A person creates some mysterious phenomena with his own hands, having no idea how it turns out.
So, John Hutchison was a great admirer of Nikola Tesla. He tried to reproduce his experiments. The results were as unpredictable as they were incredible. He received a fusion of metal with wood, small objects disappeared during the experiment. The most significant of the effects was levitation. The scientist was even more puzzled by the fact that he could not repeat the result, that is, some mystical, non-linear events occurred. NASA specialists tried to repeat the experiments, but to no avail.
viscous rain
There were even more incredible, mysterious phenomena on Earth. Among these, one can safely classify the unusual rain that fell on the heads of the inhabitants of Oakville (Washington). Instead of drops of water, they found jelly. The puzzles didn't end there. All the inhabitants of the town fell ill. They developed symptoms of a cold. Jelly guessed to explore. White bodies were found in it, which are part of human blood. How this could happen, scientists could not figure out. In addition, two types of bacteria were identified in the jelly, which did not explain the symptoms of the disease of the local residents. This phenomenon has remained unexplained.
vanishing lake
The mysterious phenomena of nature sometimes look like a fiction of a science fiction writer. Neither mystics nor scientists can find an explanation for them. In 2007, a lake in Chile threw such a riddle. It was not a puddle with a loud name, but rather a large body of water. It was five miles long! However, it disappeared without a trace! Geologists had explored it two months before. No deviations were found. But there was no water. There were no earthquakes or other natural disasters, but the lake was gone. A more or less acceptable explanation for the event was given by ufologists. According to their version, the aliens pumped him out and took him to their "unknown distances".
Animals in stone
Some of the mysterious ones are millions of years old.
So, there are documented cases when frogs were found inside solid cobblestones. But this can still be explained. But the fact of finding a turtle immured in concrete, where it lived for at least one year, is difficult to substantiate. It happened in Texas in 1976. The animal was alive and well. There were no cracks or holes in the concrete. However, this structure was filled a year ago. How and why the turtle existed in the air chamber all this time is not clear.
Donnie Decker
The existence of a boy capable of generating water has been documented! His name was Donny. He could "make it rain" indoors. The first time it happened was when the boy was visiting. He went into a trance, as a result of which water began to pour from the ceiling, and the whole room was covered with fog. Another time this happened a few years later, when Donnie visited a restaurant. The miracle did not impress the owner, and he drove the teenager out. But these two episodes could be called fiction. However, there was also a third case. It happened in prison, where Donnie got for The rain poured directly from the ceiling of his cell. Neighbors began to complain. Donnie did not lose his head and once again demonstrated his abilities to the guards. Where he went after his release is unknown. They say that he worked as a cook.
There are many more amazing things happening in the world. There are people who claim to have seen aliens. Others may sense the future. Others see through walls. Schools have arisen and exist that are engaged in the development of superpowers in ordinary people. Probably, in order to “feel” this unknown, one must believe in it. Then it will become clear that miracles exist! They are real!
Conspiracy theories? What theories, this is the real truth, it's just that governments keep it a secret from us, scientific researchers are deceivers, and the media manipulates us - millions of people around the world think so. They truly believe in even the craziest conspiracy theories. Do you want to know which ones? Read our 20 incredible conspiracy theories and laugh heartily.
20 PHOTOS
1. According to the most incredible theory, all 2000 years of Christianity were based on lies. Jesus had a wife and they had a child. It's just that the apostle Peter could not put up with it and did not want to agree to gender equality. Therefore, we have what we have. The secret of Mary Magdalene and her relationship with Jesus, as well as their child, we will never know. Although, as you know, her descendants are members of the Merovingian family. Ask Dan Brown... (In the photo: Alexander Ivanov's painting "The Appearance of Christ to Mary Magdalene after the Resurrection", 1835). 
2. According to another crazy theory, Hitler survived World War II ... in the basement. The assassination of the Fuhrer was only a cover for his disappearance. At first, he fled to Barcelona, from there he moved to South America, and then to Antarctica. He was hiding in a secret base under the ice with his closest collaborators and planning a grand comeback. It was! Proof? A year ago, in Antarctica, in the images available on Google Earth, strange pits were visible, which are very similar to the entrance to the base ... (Photo: Das Bundesarchiv / CC BY-SA 3.0 DE). 
3. The death of Princess Diana touched people all over the world. However, the behavior of members of the royal family in the first days after the accident caused more comments than the tragedy itself. A halo of mystery, scraps of information and attempts to cover up the circumstances of the death of Princess Diana led to the fact that strange conspiracy theories began to grow like mushrooms after rain.
One theory suggests that the royal family was responsible for the accident. "This is murder!" - as the father of the princess's lover, Mohammed al-Fayed, believed for many years. He claimed that Princess Diana was pregnant at the time of the accident, which was allegedly unacceptable for the royal family, since the child's father was a Muslim. Supporters of this theory believe that the results of the autopsy were falsified, and that the secret intelligence service of England, MI6, was involved in this tragedy. (Pictured: Princess Diana's last entry.)
4. Aliens have infiltrated the ranks of the governments of different states and rule the world. Reptilians or large scaly lizards from outer space have mastered the art of secretly changing their appearance and transforming themselves into humans. The most famous reptilians are US President Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth, billionaires Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg ... They are few, but they all dominate us. They communicate telepathically. We all work for them and, alas, we cannot reveal them. There is no hope for us… (Photo: imgur.com). 
5. The shadow government of the world, the Illuminati, the Freemasons… No matter what they are called, one thing is certain, they run the world. Democracy is just the opium of the people, the illusion of influencing reality. For hundreds of years, we have been ruled by the elect. Now it's easier for them to do their job: they control our minds with the help of pop culture. Their goal is secret power. They will never come out of the shadows. (Photo: Qz10/Wikimedia Commons). 
6. Not only the dark side of the moon is shrouded in mystery. Also, the very landing on it still raises great doubts and even disbelief. Has a human foot really set foot on this silver ball? Or was the landing just a production at a movie studio in Hollywood? Why are there no stars in the photo? How miraculously does the American flag fly if there is "supposedly" no wind on the moon? You can keep asking these kinds of questions ad infinitum. To this day, many people believe that the moon landing never happened. (Photo: Neil Armstrong/NASA).
7. Probably everyone has heard about the famous area 51. It is there that the United States hides the truth about UFOs from the whole world. This zone contains the corpse of an alien found in the wreckage of a crashed flying saucer in Roswell. Various secret experiments are being carried out on it. You will not find this zone on the maps, you cannot find it on Google Maps. Nothing is known about Area 51, except that it exists - this was confirmed in 2013 by the CIA (CIA). Currently, due to the fact that Base 51 has become too famous, it has been disbanded and many small centers have been created located throughout the United States. (Photo: Jim Trottier/CC BY-SA 2.0).
8. It seems that the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 has long been known. However, many Americans still have doubts. Maybe it was controlled explosions? Maybe this is a conspiracy of the secret services and the army, designed in order to have a reason to start a war? Anything is possible in conspiracy theories. Many believe that it was not planes that crashed into the towers, but rockets with holograms of planes. (Photo: Michael Foran/CC BY 2.0). 
9. Although scientists claim that global warming is a fact, and that it is human activity that has become the main cause of climate change, which can have catastrophic consequences for all of us, many are still convinced that this is a fiction. Well, who wants to believe that humanity itself can lead to the destruction of the planet. It's not true! People are so small, but the Earth is huge. After all, we are like ants in an anthill. How can we influence the functioning of the entire planet? This is impossible, unproven and unlikely. Many people think so… (Photo: Brocken Inaglory/CC BY-SA 3.0).
10. One of the conspiracy theories did not spare even the great Shakespeare. Many believe that he did not exist. And if he did exist, then he certainly could not have written such great works, since he was an uneducated ordinary person (especially since nothing is really known about his life). What is the likelihood that such a person could become the author of great plays, poems and sonnets? Someone else should have written them. The question is who? Well, for example, Francis Bacon ... (Photo: portrait of William Shakespeare by an unknown author). 
11. After reading this material, the origin of a person will no longer be a mystery to you. We were created by aliens! This is confirmed by ancient rock paintings, as well as paintings on temples and tombs. The aliens flew in big flying saucers, landed in places that were marked by pyramids all over the world. During the landing, all the dinosaurs were killed, then the aliens created us - people and ... flew away, ceasing to be interested in us at all. That's exactly how it was! (Photo: imgur.com).
12. Mysterious crop circles. They appear mainly in the US and not without reason. Everyone knows that the United States is the main target of aliens. Mysterious crop circles do not appear there by themselves. "Someone" makes them. The most likely explanation is, of course, that aliens mark certain places with their spaceships and transmit messages. Is it possible for some amateur farmers to do this? (Photo: Jabberocky/Wikimedia Commons). 
13. The famous "contrails" or "chemtrails" do not let anyone who believes in conspiracy theories sleep well. Footprints in the sky that are left behind by planes are allegedly harmful to health. The authorities do this purposefully to control the population, poisoning small groups of people over and over again. This phenomenon, of course, has a scientific explanation, but fans of conspiracy theories have their own truth. (Photo: Arpingstone/Wikimedia Commons). 
14. Soon all people on Earth will be implanted with microchips. In this simple way, governments will know literally everything about us. They will be able to learn about our habits, monitor us, diagnose diseases before we feel the first symptoms. And the electrical impulses sent by the chips will control our actions. And how will we install these chips? It's simpler than ever, every person visits a doctor at least once in his life, and it is there that these devices will be implanted in us. Information about us is already being collected, and we do not even know that we are just a number in a giant database… (Photo: Amal Graafstra/CC BY-SA 2.0).
15. Did the Titanic sink? Many believe that this huge ship did not sink at all. How can you believe it was just an accident? For such a ship to just break apart from hitting a piece of ice? No, it was not the Titanic. (Photo: F.G.O. Stuart / Wikimedia Commons). 
16. Fans of conspiracy theories believe that eugenics and genetics have their own hidden purpose, namely the creation of human slaves. Governments and industry need people who will not think, but will be able to do only what they are programmed to do. It’s very convenient when people don’t think about anything and don’t protest, right? Genetics and eugenics will help them with this. (Photo: Christoph Bock/CC BY-SA 3.0). 
17. Contact with aliens has long been established. NASA has been contacting aliens for years, but withholds this information from all of us. Because we could use the inventions of extraterrestrial civilizations, and this is unprofitable for the ruling circles. (Photo: NASA). 
18. Many Americans hate their president for health care reform or Obamacare. Conspiracy theorists believe that this was done for a reason. Obamacare will secretly help kill people who are over a certain age (experts say after 67 years). That is, Obamacare is nothing more than a tool to control the US population. (Photo: Larry Downing/Reuters). 
19. Lee Harvey Oswald certainly did not assassinate US President John F. Kennedy. Either the Russians, or the Cubans, or the mafia, or even Vice President Lyndon Johnson, were shooting. There are so many inconsistencies and uncertainties in the tragic events of that day and the next few that this conspiracy theory is the most popular one so far. (Photo: Walt Cisco/Dallas Morning News). 
20. Do you think you have a free will? You can't even imagine how wrong you are... Back in the 50s, it became known about subthreshold methods of influencing the human subconscious. Do you think you just watch TV? No, no, all TV shows use the so-called 25th frame, invisible to the naked eye, which affects the mass consciousness, manipulating us and forcing us to believe what the authorities want. (Photo: Glogger/CC BY-SA 3.0). Here are collected the strangest events of the 20th century. Some of them raise doubts about their authenticity. However, judge for yourself.

As the investigators later established, having cut the wall of the tent with knives, the tourists in panic horror rushed to run down the slope. They ran, who was in what: in underwear, half-dressed, barefoot. Later, the corpses of all nine members of the group were found down the slope. Most died of hypothermia.

The history of human civilization reliably keeps many secrets, many of which will never be solved. But the last two centuries have presented the world with many mysteries that researchers are puzzling over. The most mysterious incidents in the world of the XX-XXI century - let's talk today about ten secrets of the modern history of mankind.
Crop Circles
The most mysterious incidents in the world are mysterious. These are various geometric shapes formed by crushed plants in agricultural fields. The drawings are created perfectly evenly and can form complex pictograms. Their size varies: they can be small and huge, fully visible only from an airplane. They began to cause great attention in the 1970s in England. In 1972, in the south of the country, two eyewitnesses, watching the sky on a moonlit night in the hope of seeing a UFO, noticed how the grass in the field died, forming a circle. The peak of interest in the mysterious phenomenon came in the 1990s. The earliest references to the appearance of such pictograms (drawings) in the margins date back to the 17th century.
Hypotheses of the origin of crop circles are put forward by a variety of: the activities of an alien civilization, micro-tornadoes, ball lightning and hoaxes of interested parties. So, the British David Chorley and Douglas Bauer admitted in 1991 that the appearance of the first circles was their work. They claim that they have created about 250 pictograms since 1978. But many continue to believe that the mysterious phenomenon of amazing crop drawings is not a hoax, but unsolved messages from mysterious forces. Crop circles - in 10th place among the most mysterious incidents on Earth.
