TOP 5 UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF 2022

At the southernmost part of our planet lies Antarctica, an extremely cold and inhospitable continent, covering over 5 million square miles and blanketed by ice sheets that reach more than a mile deep. With an average daily temperature of negative 49 degrees Fahrenheit and winds reaching over 100 miles per hour, Antarctica is now home only to researchers working in scattered research stations.

Historically, mainstream geologists believed that ancient humans never settled on Antarctica due to its hostile climate. However, in 2016, satellite images revealed a curious formation emerging from the ice, sparking speculation among some researchers that it might be a man-made pyramid. Reports of enormous pyramids in Antarctica have surfaced, resembling those found in Egypt, but significantly larger in size. These findings raise questions about whether our ancestors could have reached and possibly settled on the Antarctic continent.

The notion of a man-made pyramid under the Antarctic ice begs questions about its construction, when it was built, and by whom. Geologists once believed Antarctica had been under ice for millions of years, but there is evidence suggesting it may have been ice-free, at least in certain areas, until around 4000 BC. Stories from Polynesia talk of "culture heroes" who supposedly reached the Antarctic continent and described a place resembling modern-day Antarctica.

German geologists collected core samples from deep within the Antarctic seafloor in 2017, revealing a climate similar to Northern Italy thousands of years ago, implying that Antarctica may have been habitable in the past.

Shifting to a different topic, in Giza, Egypt, lies the famous Giza necropolis, comprising the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. The Sphinx, an immense statue with a human head and a lion's body, stands as an enigmatic structure, with its true purpose and origins still unknown. Napoleon's expedition to Egypt in 1798 brought attention to ancient Egyptian sites and heightened interest in ancient mysteries like the Sphinx.

Moving on to another intriguing topic, Greg and Dana Newkirk's home holds a collection of cursed objects sent to them from around the world. The objects are believed to carry negative energy and bring harm to those who possess them. Some of the items include cursed robes, a deadly ring, and a doll associated with spreading illness. One particular object, known as the "Crone," was so dangerous that the Newkirks took it back to its original location to remove its curse.

In the lower Jordan River Valley, there is an ancient city called Tall el-Hammam, believed by some experts to be the ruins of the biblical city of Sodom. Evidence suggests that an airburst or meteor impact event could have been the cause of Sodom's destruction, leading to the burial of the city in dirt and salt.

Lastly, at the archaeological site of Villa De Papyrus near Pompeii, Italy, archaeologists have uncovered ancient texts written on papyrus scrolls. Thanks to modern technology, they have been able to virtually unwrap and read these scrolls without damaging them, revealing significant historical insights.

In conclusion, these various discoveries and mysteries continue to captivate researchers and historians, shedding new light on our ancient past and prompting further exploration and analysis.
