6.The Great Pyramid Chambers
LOCATION - EGYPT

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of all pyramids in Egypt. It has been part of history and mysteries for more than 4000 years.

Our first modern glimpse inside the structure was around 820 AD when the presiding caliph used battering rams to create a tunnel. The Great Pyramid has been studied and explored over and over, and to this day we find new and intriguing things about it.

The confirmed chambers that exist are the Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery, and finally the King’s Chamber. Of the three, the queen’s chamber is the least explored one.

Researchers have recently found 2 more “secret” chambers hidden deep inside. Operation “Scan Pyramids” has came out with solid proof about the extra chambers after they found 2 anomalies using thermal scanning.

This has sparked new found interested in cracking the mysteries of the pyramids, and the people who built them.

3.Egyptian Treasures in the Grand Canyon
LOCATION - ARIZONA

The year is 1909, and two ambitious archaeologists are embarking on the journey of a century. The expedition organized by the Smithsonian Institute focused on expanding our knowledge of the Grand Canyon and the cultures that call that place home.

The two explorers were Professor S. Jordan, and self proclaimed adventurer G. Kinkaid. Their first trip around the canyon wielded amazing finds, including a network of tunnels and chambers filled with artifacts resembling those found in Egypt or Tibet.

And thats about it, this is where the story ends, and the mystery begins. The only accounts of this expedition was written in a small local newspaper, the Arizona Gazette on March 12, 1909,.

There was a follow up article that quoted Kinkaid saying

""The idol almost resembles Buddha, though the scientists are not certain as to what religious worship it represents. Taking into consideration everything found thus far, it is possible that this worship most resembles the ancient people of Tibet.""

The articles have sparked many theories, and the obvious thing to do was contact the Smithsonian and cross reference the newspaper’s findings. Their response was less than thrilling, stating they had no records of the expedition, or of “Professor S. Jordan” ever existing.

It is impossible to know the truth unless someone comes forward, either from the Smithsonian, or the Arizona Gazette. If it was just an elaborate hoax, who was it meant to fool? The 500 people reading the paper? If it was a cover up, what was so controversial that the public was not ready for?

The Grand Canyon still holds some mysteries and it has many restricted areas, maybe those areas are the ones containing the tunnels and ancient artifacts… only one way to find out !

2.The Yaghan People
LOCATION - TIERRA DEL FUEGO

The Yaghan Tribe living on the islands of Tierra Del Fuego are regarded as the southernmost peoples in the world. And when you look at a map of the place, its easy to see why. They can see Antarctica from their backyards !

The yaghan were hunter gatherers that had not met europeans until the 16th century, but they left a lasting impression on any traveller that was brave enough to stop there.

The strangest part about the Tribe was their extreme adaptation to the freezing climate. They did not wear any clothes, even when the average yearly temperature is around 5 degrees Celsius.

The tribes numbers were estimated to be around 3000 before colonization of the region began, nowadays they number around 1500 people, and there is only 1 surviving member that can speak their old language. Their culture and language will soon be completely forgotten… and with it, our chances of finding out who these people are, where they came from, and what made them impervious to the cold climate.

1.Mount Nemrut
Finally we have the mysterious statues of Mount Nemrut, it is believed they were erected sometime during the 1st Century BC, and served as guardians to the unknown tomb behind them. No one knows who was buried there, or why they were important enough to warrant statues.

It is believed that the tomb might belong to Antiochus, a royal leader of the area during the Hellenistic Period, the ancient site was “discovered” in 1881

The site is deteriorating, fast. There is not much that can be done to reconstruct or repair the statues, and the heavy snowfall during the winter speeds up their erosion immensely."
