1. "Avalon"
In the Serte myth, Avalon is a mysterious island in the Western Sea. King Arthur healed his wounds here after completing his final battle.
According to earlier King Arthurian legends, Arthur did not die in Avalon. He just fell asleep until England needed his Excalibur again, and he would wake up.
In the 12th century, monks from Glastonbury Abbey allegedly found the remains of King Arthur and his queen, Corniva, and his excalibur in stone on the island. They also say that the island is full of apples (in Wells, Avalon means "apple").
But some historians have questioned this claim, saying the real Aphalon was in Appledore, Kent, or even in Iceland.
2. El Dorado
The conquerors of the New World have seen many strange things. One of the things they will never forget is the initiation ceremony of El Dorado, chief of the Musica tribe.
His kingdom was near Bogotá, the capital of present-day Colombia. Eldorado painted his whole body with gold powder and jumped into a highland lake.
The Spanish conquistadors plundered Eldorado's kingdom, but never found el Dorado's "El Dorado" they were looking for. The legend of el Dorado has been passed down for centuries, attracting countless explorers to search for treasure, but instead they have lost their possessions and become nothing, but treasure hunters still believe that Eldorado is located in Colombia.
3. "Buyan Island" (Buyan Island)
In Slavic mythology, The island of Buyan (Буя?н) is described as a mysterious island that disappears and appears from time to time in the ocean. There are three brothers of the East, North and West Winds who live there.
Some myths say that the island is the root of all weather changes. In other myths, this is the "other world", where the mythical elves hide their souls in the eye of a needle. After a paleogeographic reconstruction, some speculate that the island is actually a mythologization of a German island.

4. "Shambhala"
According to ancient texts, Shambhala is a beautiful sanctuary of peace and greenery hidden in the Himalayas. The religious scriptures of Tibet and India claim that it is a place where truth exists.
5. "Atlantis"
Plato once described the "Lost Island": Atlantis was a maritime power that conquered much of Western Europe and North Africa in 9000 BC. But after the failed invasion of Athens, it suddenly sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean one day.
Even in Plato's own time, this claim is considered merely a "story." But historians and archaeologists today say satellite photographs of the Greek island of Santorini show that there was indeed a sunken island in the middle of these archipelagos.
Some believe that Plato's writings were mistranslated and that Atlantis should have existed in 900 BC. It coincides with the time when the Minoan civilization of Crete was destroyed by tsunamis. In 2011, an archaeological team claimed to have found the location of Atlantis: under a mudflat in southern Spain.
6. Lemuria and Mu
Lemuria and Mu are interchangeable names. They refer to the same "lost world" believed to be located in the South Pacific or Indian Ocean.
It is also regarded as the origin of mankind, the cradle of the birth of prehistoric super-civilization, and has a highly advanced civilization. It is a Shangri-La heaven and a human Eden.
But thousands of years ago, it may have been sunk under the fury of some form of geological catastrophe. Some of the highlights were reduced to thousands of rocky islands scattered throughout the Pacific, including Easter Island, Tahiti, Hawaii and Samoa.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before the "plate movement theory" matured, scientists had hypothesized that there was a "lost continent" that sank into the sea in ancient times, so some species would "migrate" to the other side of the ocean before the sinking (such as the Bering Strait in North America, which was indeed a bridge between the two continents of the United States and Asia).
British and German zoologists, based on the distribution of lemur populations in Madagascar and Indonesia, deduced a continent that once existed in the Indian Ocean, and theorized that there had been a "ground bridge" between southern Africa and the Indian Ocean peninsula: the continent of Remlia.
Although the above claims have been widely questioned since the emergence of plate tectonic theory, the two continents of "Remlia" and "Mu" are still closely linked to mysterious history.
7. "Ys"
In the early days of modern France, the Pressure on the Countryside by the Paris government intensified. Not only did it raise taxes in Brittany, but it also tried to eliminate the local language and culture. It was during this time that the legend of Isu began to become popular.
Legend has it that Isu is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is built below sea level on the Brittany coast and is protected by embankments and gates. The story goes that Dahut, the ruler of the city, was deceived by the devil in a storm and opened the gates of the city. The sea flooded in, and the city was submerged.
The ruler, Dash, deceived by the devil in a storm, opened the gates of the city. The sea flooded in, drowning Isu.
The old Bretonproverbs once said, "When Paris falls, Isu rises again." Most versions of the legend mark The location of Isu in douarnenez Bay.
8. "Bermeja"
Ancient maps often depict islands and land that cannot be found. As a result, some of them are called "fantasy islands", but they are actually the result of early geographical errors. But Bimeiha is thought to have really existed. It was only later that a natural disaster occurred that it disappeared.
Ancient maps mark the location of Bimeha in the open sea northwest of the Yutcatan peninsula in the Gulf of Mexico. In 2009, the Mexican government began an effort to find Bimeja, hoping to expand their oil extraction program. But so far the legendary island has not been found. Some conspiracy theorists say it was the United States that blew it up with the aim of destroying Mexico's prospects for oil exploration.
9. "TerraAustralis"
This mythical continent was finally shown to be real. From Aristotle onwards, Western thinkers have had a saying that somewhere in what came to be called the Pacific Ocean, there was a continent. During the Age of Great Expeditions, many captains searched for a continent that was thought to be in the Indian Ocean or connected to all southern landmasses.
Finally, Australia was named the "Southern Continent". Although it is not as big as people originally thought. In 1820, a Russian expedition discovered Antarctica. As a result, the last hope of finding the "southern continent" was dashed.
10. "HollowEarth"
The geocentric world may well be right under our feet. Cultures around the world have a saying of the geocentric world. This world can only be accessed through a certain fixed point.
A cave in the north and south poles or in the Alps is considered the entrance to the "geocentric expedition". The geocentric world is often depicted as the place where the new life lived before it came into the world, or the dwelling place where the deceased passed away.
The Renaissance led to the rebirth of science, leading Edmond Halley, the discoverer of Halley's Comet, to infer that there were many other pieces of the earth's central world that were on concentric axes and even had their own atmosphere. When these atmospheres overflow from the North Pole, we see the Northern Lights.
UFO experts say that flying saucers were driven by "Atlanteans" from the geocentric world.
Inhabiting the surface of these "concentric axes", some speculate that it is the "Atlanteans", the "Atlanteans" from the "lost world" who have made amazing progress in technology.
Since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, they have repeatedly emerged from the dungeon in advanced flying machines to dissuade governments on Earth from destroying the world. The flying saucer is out of this geocentric world.
