People are always full of curiosity about some of the mysteries in the world, so, do they really exist? Whether it is true or false can only be proved by history and time, "when it is false, it is true and false, and sometimes there is nothing." In fact, there are many people who wear the cloak of science and make up strange legends in clever ways.
The following small editor for everyone to take stock of the five "world's unsolved mystery scams" to see if you are one of the "victims".
NO.1 Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle refers to a triangle of sea formed by the three points of Bermuda, Miami in the United States and San Juan in Puerto Rico, with an area of about 1.16 million square kilometers. Since the 16th century, hundreds of planes and ships have mysteriously disappeared in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle, known as the "Devil's Triangle" or "Death Triangle".
The most famous mysterious event in the Bermuda Triangle is the disappearance of Fleet 19, but what everyone does not know is that 76 years ago, the 19th Flight Team of the United States was taken by the commander of the road fool to yaw and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean en masse. Because it was impossible to argue with the commander's mother, the official had to change the cause of the crash to unknown. The writer Vincent thus mastered the writing secret book "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle", and where there was a crash and a shipwreck, he buckled his hat to Bermuda.
In fact, as early as 1980, the United States and Australia scientific expeditions jointly issued a statement, which said: Bermuda has no place beyond nature. But rumors continued to spread around the world, and it wasn't until 16 years later that scientists claimed to have discovered the bermuda mystery.
More importantly, according to the U.S. Coast Guard, the number of accidents in the Bermuda Triangle is actually much lower than in other waters.
More importantly, aircraft and cargo ships are generally insured, and if they have an accident, the insurance company will definitely have to pay a high compensation fee, so for ships or aircraft that often haunt dangerous seas, insurance companies will usually charge higher insurance costs.
However, according to several major insurance companies in the world, there is no overcharge on the Bermuda Triangle area, which proves from the side that the Bermuda Triangle is not more dangerous than other seas.
Since the Bermuda Triangle is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, close to the southern coast of the United States, tourism is its pillar industry, in order to attract more tourists, the Bermuda government not only did not try to clarify this apparently non-existent "Triangle of Death", but instead exaggerated, and even printed it into the travel brochure, the real Bermuda is a tourist resort, the hotel up to 121 nights.
NO.2 Loch Ness Monster
The Loch Ness Monster is undoubtedly one of the most famous legendary creatures of the 20th century.
In August 1933, a London resident said he had seen a very strange creature in Loch Ness.
△ One of the most famous photos of the Loch Ness monster
This statement stirred up thousands of waves, and some people said that they saw "a huge animal tumbling and swooping on the surface of Loch Ness", and the British media always liked to report such news.
Later, a reporter named Duke Weatherroll found the footprints of the water monster on the shore of Loch Ness, which almost confirmed the existence of the Loch Ness Monster from the side.
△ "The clearest photo of the Loch Ness Monster in history"
In 2016, the British "Mirror" recently exposed a "clearest photo of the Loch Ness monster in history", which was taken by 58-year-old distillery worker Ian Brener, who at first thought that it was a few seals playing, but the more they thought about it, the more wrong it was, and then they reacted that it might be a water monster.
In fact, the earliest hot water monster topic is a circus in London, the elephant put in the lake to install water monsters, but also posted a 20,000 pounds of capture reward order, and can not catch the water monster of the locals to the toy submarine to play pranks, there is this fire out of the circle of water monster map, in fact, the water monster is the elephant bathing, but by the legend of the water monster, Loch Ness annual tourism income of more than 30 billion.
NO.3 Nazca lines
In 1939 Paul of Peru stumbled upon a magically large pattern and straight line during a flight mission to the southern wilderness of Peru, many of which were very wide, like the runway of an airplane, and many of the flora and fauna made up of lines, including capuchin monkeys, hummingbirds, spiders, and strangely dressed figures.
These patterns are not simple small pictures, but need to be more than 300 meters above the height to see the whole picture of the pattern, very large, covering an area of about 50 square kilometers. So, the writer said it was the hand of an alien.
But in fact, the Nazca people themselves painted, the stone posed the overall shape, and then scraped off the surface rock layer, completed the graffiti.
The ancient Nazca people believed in the gods, and on certain days they held grand collective sacrifices to pray to the gods for water and food. The Nazca lines are located in the sacrificial area, and every year on June 22, the sun sets directly at the end of one of the lines, indirectly confirming the pattern's association with the sacrificial activity.
Now, the Nazca Line is also a scenic spot, with a $280 trip to a sightseeing helicopter.
NO.4 The Curse of the Egyptian Pharaohs
There are so many rumors about the pyramids.
Some say that the pyramids are too difficult to build, they must have been built by aliens; some say that multiplying the height of Khufu's pyramid by 1 billion is exactly the distance from the earth to the sun; some say that those who break into the pyramids will die because there is a curse of the Egyptian pharaohs in it; some say that putting meat into the tower will never rot.
The pyramid is indeed very difficult to build, but there are always ways, so heavy stones can not be transported by human beings, but they can rely on the buoyancy of water. Archaeology has found that there are ditches near the granite quarries of the pyramids, so the most likely method is water transport.
As for the second rumor, it is obvious that primary school geography is not well studied. The Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse, so the distance between the Sun and the Earth has been changing, is it not possible that the height of Khufu's Pyramid is also changing?
The third rumor is even more ridiculous, and like the bermuda triangle before it, this is also the writer's literary creation. A British Egyptologist discovered that the legend of the pharaoh's curse can be traced back to a "mummy stripping" performance in London in 1828, which inspired a female writer named Webb, so she wrote the novel "The Mummy".
As for the last rumor, it is indeed not a rumor, because the pyramids are all in the desert, and the meat has not yet had time to rot, it is directly dried.
NO.5 UFO
In 2012, Kentucky Police received numerous UFO sightings. A shiny mysterious white object was discovered in the sky. The local government department could not give a definitive explanation, so there were rumors that "aliens" had arrived in Kentucky.
In fact, this mysterious white object did not come from some distant planet, but was an ongoing experimental project by the Internet company Google. They released several large balloons in an attempt to build a high-speed wireless internet in the air and build an information highway for remote areas to solve the problem of poor mobile phone signals and internet speeds.
In addition to Google balloons over Kentucky, a variety of objects and phenomena have all been mistaken for UFOs: In 1995, over Manchester, England, two Boeing 737 drivers spotted some shiny objects gliding quickly above them. At the time, air traffic controllers did not find any flying objects within the range that radar could detect, so the incident was classified as a UFO incident. But the truth is, this is just a scrapped satellite that is falling into the earth, and the bright light comes from the satellite's interaction with the atmosphere. There are many more things like that.
Therefore, the so-called "aliens", most of which are just some phenomena in the atmosphere and the ionosphere that affect the propagation of radio waves, may be mistaken for UFOs.
In fact, if you recall the memorable unsolved mysteries now, you will find two laws: the higher the pixel of the mobile phone, the fewer mysterious events; many of the unsolved mysteries take place in a tourist attraction.
