10 of the Most Mysterious Events in History

History has been useful for us to understand the past and make better decisions for the future. Ancient empires, revolutions, wars and so many other things have shaped society into what it is today. But not everything in history has a clear explanation. In fact, there are quite a lot of events that just make us more confused as to what really happened in the past. Today I’ll be introducing you to “10 of the most mysterious events in history.” We’ll have a look at some moments in time that are a bit hard to explain, but they actually happened - or at least that’s what we believe. Creepy characters, supernatural encounters, and all sorts of crazy events are coming up. Are you ready for it? Let’s begin.

Oak Island

Captain William Kidd, a Scottish sailor who lived from 1645 to 1701, was tried for piracy after he got back from a trip around the Indian Ocean. While some historians don’t agree with people calling him a pirate, Captain Kidd did some questionable things that led people to give him that title. It is also said that he left a money pit as a buried treasure in Oak Island just off the shores of Nova Scotia in Canada. For hundreds of years, numerous expeditions have gone to this spot, trying to find the said treasure without any success. And the expeditions haven’t been cheap; they’ve cost millions of dollars! But apparently that doesn’t stop people from searching this place. I just hope the treasure can one day make up for all the money they’ve spent in trying to find it. But as of now, no one has been successful. There’s even a History Channel show called “The Curse of Oak Island” that follows a modern-day group of explorers who seek answers to this mysterious treasure and other events happening on the island. The show’s already on its seventh season and so far they’ve found an antique brooch with a 500-year-old gemstone, some very old coins, and a lead cross that apparently was made between 1200 and 1600 AD. But there are still no signs of other religious artifacts, manuscripts, or Marie Antoinette’s jewels - which according to some theories, are part of the biggest treasure.

The Hanging Gardens

Have you heard of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? It’s like an old school version of a “Top 5 Best” list, except that it doesn’t list five wonders; it lists 7! But who am I to complain? We rarely list five things - it’s either 10 or more and you love it! Anyway, back to the Seven Wonders...if you haven’t looked into that list...you should! It includes some awesome places like the pyramids of Egypt and the Temple of Artemis. But some of the wonders don’t exist anymore, but we have more than enough evidence that supports these wonders were once the most remarkable constructions of their time...except for one: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. While there’s an established location for the other six wonders, the Hanging Gardens don’t have one yet. Some people say it used to be near to what’s now a city named Hillah in Central Iraq. Other researchers claim that the gardens were in the city of Nineveh. Either way, no one has been able to find any remains of the garden to confirm its existence. But how do we know about it then? Well, we have some ancient writings that say this was one of the most beautiful places in the world, with plants growing at impressive heights. It was built by a king to please his wife who missed her homeland in the mountains. Isn’t that romantic? Unfortunately, the current day coordinates of this place have been the scenario of lots of wars and looting, so I doubt we’ll ever get a chance to find out anything that can tell us more about the existence of this place.

Atlantis

Just like the Hanging Gardens, the existence of Atlantis can only be confirmed by writings. However, when it comes to Atlantis, the place sounds a bit more fictional than the gardens. The first mention of the now-vanished land was in a story by the Greek philosopher Plato. He talked about a land in the Atlantic ocean and its people who conquered parts of Europe and Africa in prehistoric times. But then the prehistoric Athenians fought back, and eventually, the people of Atlantis, as well as their land, vanished under the ocean. No one believes this story is literally true, but at the same time, no one can fully discredit it. There is evidence of ancient civilizations that somehow fit the things that Plato described, but none of them is fully accurate. The closest one is the story of the Minoan Civilization
