Teotihuacan - 30 Miles North East of Mexico City
Teotihuacan - 30 Miles North East of Mexico City is a very little is known about the people who lived in the city of Teotihuacan.About 30 miles northeast of Mexico City, it was the greatest city in
the Western Hemisphere before the 1400s, the Mayans, and the Aztecs. The
Aztecs, after discovering the city, named it Teotihuacan, “the place
where god were created.”The ruins
of Teotihuacan archaeological site are among the most remarkable in
Mexico. The Aztecs believed that the gods created the universe in this
ancient city that once flourished as the epicenter of culture and
commerce during Mesoamerica's Classic period. Located about 50 km (30
miles) north of Mexico City makes an ideal day trip for history and
anthropology buffs.
The site was inhabited from around 200 B.C.
until its collapse almost one thousand years later. Teotihuacan is
thought to have had a population of about 200 thousand inhabitants at
its peak. This ancient site is enveloped in mysteries that add to
its intrigue and appeal. Experts do not know to what ethnic group the
people of Teotihuacan belonged, nor what language they spoke. For this
reason they are called Teotihuacanos. The name of the site, which means
"place of the gods," comes from the Aztecs.By the time of the
Aztec civilization, Teotihuacan had already been abandoned for hundreds
of years, but the Aztecs considered it a sacred place full of myths and
legends.

Roopkund
Roopkund
is a high altitude glacial lake in Uttarakhand, India. It's famous due
to hundreds of human skeletons which are found at the edge of the lake. The lake, known as 'Skeleton lake', is situated at an altitude of 5,029 meters in the Himalayas. Every year, when the snow melts, hundreds of scattered skulls can be seen. The skeletons were first found by a British forest guard in 1942.
Initially, it was believed that the skeletons were those of Japanese
soldiers who had died while crossing during World War II. Scientists have now found out that the skeletons were of pilgrims and locals as the bodies dated to around 850 AD.

The Hessdalen Lights
The
Hessdalen Light is an unexplained light usually seen in the Hessdalen
valley in Norway. In 2007, a group of teachers, students and scientists
established a science camp in Norway to study the phenomenon.
On a clear night, Bjorn G. Hauge managed to take this pic using an
exposure time of 30 seconds. The analysis of the spectrum reveals the
object to be made of silicium, iron, titanium and scandium.

Umbrella Man.
One of the only two people at the scene of JFK's assassination caught on camera who were not questioned by the FBI. He was nicknamed the Umbrella Man as he was holding up an umbrella despite the sunny weather.
Seconds before the president was shot, he began to spin the umbrella
clockwise, which caused many people to speculate whether he was
signalling the assassin or even shooting the president with a gun
mechanism build into the umbrella.

The Devil’s Sea
The Devil’s Sea is an area of the Pacific Ocean as riddled with strange happenings as its Atlantic counterpart near Bermuda. Therefore, it is located off the coast of Japan, it’s been the site of countless claims
of unexplained phenomena including magnetic anomalies, inexplicable
lights and objects, and of course, mysterious disappearances. The area is even considered a danger by Japanese fishing authorities.One story
has it that in 1952 the Japanese government sent out a research vessel,
the Kaio Maru No. 5, to investigate the mysteries of the Devil’s Sea.
Naturally, of course, the Kaio Maru No. 5 and its crew of 31 people were
never seen again.
Moreover, another story tells of Kublai Khan’s disastrous attempts to invade Japan by crossing the Devil’s Sea, losing at least 40 000 men in the process. The usual theories abound for what’s really going on: from aliens, to gates to parallel universes, even to Atlantis (because why not). Some suggest that high volcanic activity in the region is responsible for some of the disappearances (the Kaio Maru No. 5 may have been caught in an eruption). Our advice? Just stay out of the ocean, period.
