Strange village in Dubai: Day appears, night disappears, leaving scientists baffled

In the desert of Dubai there is a very special village. It often appears during the day but disappears at night .

When mentioning Dubai, everyone probably thinks of a rich country with a lot of oil. For example, the tallest tower in the world - Burj Khalifa, the largest artificial island - Palm Jumeirah, ... The existence of these famous buildings has made Dubai famous.

However, Dubai is also a place with many deserts and interesting things. But what is more interesting is that in the middle of the desert of Dubai there is a village that is considered by scientists to be one of the most "mysterious" places in the world. That is the village of Al Madam .

The village appears during the day, disappears at night

This village is special in that it disappears at night but reappears during the day. This village is so strange that people have named it "ghost town" . Why does this happen?

During the day, this village appears but disappears at night.

To clarify this mysterious event, scientists decided to go there to investigate. Initially, scientists received information that this village had once had an epidemic, this disease had no cure so no one dared to come near. There were even rumors that people had previously seen people walking around the village but then they never returned. Therefore, local people did not dare to go near the village for fear of danger. Since then, the village has become a deserted place like it is today.

According to their observations, during the day, this village is no different from any other village. From the remaining traces, it can be seen that the villagers are indigenous people, they live a self-sufficient life and have their own unique culture. However, at night, a magical scene will appear, the whole village seems to disappear into the air, leaving no trace . When the experts came to search, they only saw yellow sand. Surprisingly, during the day, the village reappeared before everyone's eyes as if it had never disappeared.

1. The village is surrounded by golden sand.

After that, scientists gave 3 explanations about the strange incident in this mysterious village.

3 answers

At first, they suggested that the village might have been submerged by quicksand. According to scientists, desert sand is abundant and subsidence often occurs. However, this assumption was rejected because during the day, the village did not appear to be affected or submerged by quicksand.

Scientists initially hypothesized that it was due to quicksand.

Second , some scientists explain that the village disappears at night due to a mirage . They believe that because Dubai is half desert and half ocean, it creates such a scene. In the desert, the air is hottest near the surface and gradually cools down with height (due to the hot sand surface and the cold sea surface), so when the light is refracted downwards, it makes us see the village disappear. However, there are also opinions that the possibility of such a mirage appearing regularly is very small. Therefore, this hypothesis is also very difficult to accept.

The second hypothesis is that a mirage caused the village to disappear.

Finally , after testing and analyzing, scientists have found the most feasible hypothesis. Accordingly, this village was actually once inhabited by the Al Kutbii tribe . Due to overexploitation of resources, the environment was also severely damaged, gradually the desert and sand invaded the village, forcing them to leave.

The third hypothesis is that the village was buried by sand-blowing winds.

The people moved away, leaving the houses empty. The sand dunes were constantly blown by the wind and buried, causing them to disappear at night. Only in the morning, when the wind continued to blow continuously, the sand was moved to another place and the village reappeared.

Although scientists have continuously proposed many different hypotheses, no explanation has been accepted to date . The mystery of the village has caused rumors about it to spread to many other people. Therefore, the village has gradually become a tourist attraction that attracts many people who want to explore. However, scientists still advise tourists that those who intend to visit the village should come during the day, avoid going at night and alone to make sure they do not encounter danger.
