 Kryptos is
an encrypted sculpture by
the American artist, Jim
Sanborn, that is located
on the grounds of
the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA)
in Langley, Virginia.
 The name Kryptos comes
from the Greek word for
"hidden", and the theme
of the sculpture is
"intelligence gathering.“
 Out of Four 3 has been
Solved .But one remain

7. Tamam Shud Case
1/19/2015
 The Taman Shud
Case, also known as
the Mystery of the
Somerton Man, is
an unsolved case of an
unidentified man found
dead at 6:30 a.m., 1
December 1948,
on Somerton beach
in Adelaide, South
Australia. It is named after
a phrase, tamam
shud, meaning "ended" or
"finished" in Persian on a
scrap of the final page
of The Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam found in the
hidden pocket of the
man's trousers.

8. Bermuda triangle
1/21/2015
 The Bermuda Triangle, also known as
the Devil's Triangle, is a loosely defined region
in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean,
where a number of aircraftand ships are said to
have disappeared under mysterious
circumstances. According to the US Navy, the
triangle does not exist, and the name is not
recognized by the US Board on Geographic
Names.[1] Popular culture has attributed various
disappearances to the paranormal or activity by
extraterrestrial beings.

10. Moitius Statues of Island
1/19/2015
 Moai or mo‘ai, are monolithic human figures
carved by
 the Rapa Nui people from rock on the Chilean
Polynesian island of Easter Island between the
years 1250 and 1500.

12. Giant stone balls of Costa Rica
1/19/2015
 Workmen hacking and burning their way through
the dense jungle of Costa Rica to clear an area
for banana plantations in the 1930s stumbled
upon some incredible objects: dozens of stone
balls, many of which were perfectly spherical.
 They varied in size from as small as a tennis ball
to an astonishing 8 feet in diameter and weighing
16 tons!
 Although the great stone balls are clearly man-
made, it is unknown who made them, for what
purpose and, most puzzling, how they achieved
such spherical precision.

14. Green children of Woolpit
1/19/2015
 The legend of the green
children of
Woolpit concerns
two children of unusual
skin colour who
reportedly appeared
in the village
of Woolpit in Suffolk,
England, some time in
the 12th century,
perhaps during the
reign of King Stephen.

15. The Crystal Skulls
1/19/2015
 No, the mystery of the
Crystal Skulls isn’t just
a made-up Hollywood
legend for Indiana
Jones to solve. A total
of thirteen crystal
skulls have been
found in South
America since 1881.
The extremely
valuable skulls have
passed hands many
times, but their true
origin is unknown.

16. The Shroud of Turin
1/19/2015
 The Shroud of Turin is a
linen cloth with the
image of a man who
many believe to be
Jesus.
 There are many
disputes about the
actual origin of the
cloth. Some believe it
was the actual cloth
placed on the body of
Jesus when he was
buried. Others believe
that the artifact was
created in the Middle
Ages, because its
carbon dating age is
between 1260 and

17. Stone Henge
1/19/2015
 Stonehenge, located
in Salisbury Plain in
England, is one of the
most fascinating
monuments of all
time. The site, which
was built over a time
period of 6400 years,
consists of 30 giant
upright stones and 30
immense horizontal
stones placed on top.
Each individual stone
weighs about six tons.

18. The Belmez Faces
1/19/2015
 In 1971, in the small Spanish village of Belmez,
Maria Pereira claimed a human face
spontaneously appeared on her cement kitchen
floor. It wasn't long before she destroyed the floor
and replaced it - and a new face promptly
appeared.
 More and more faces continued to appear on the
floor of Maria Pereira's kitchen, attracting
thousands of visitors every day. Some were male,
some female, some large, and some small. In
time, she discovered that the house, built around
1830, apparently stood above a graveyard used
by the Romans, Spanish Muslims and then

19. 1/19/2015
 But did Maria Pereira just paint the faces herself?
 If so, she never benefited financially from all the
attention. She lived a simple life in that same
house and eventually died in 2004.
 Paranormal fans suggest that the faces were
manifested on the floor by telekinesis. This notion
was based on the absurdly unscientific claim that
the expressions on their faces used to change
with the mood of Maria Pereira.
 Finally, modern technology has saved the day for
this unexplained mystery

21. Who was D.B. Cooper?
1/19/2015
 How hard is it to dislike this guy? On November
21, 1971, in Portland, Oregon, a man calling
himself Dan Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727 en
route to Seattle by discreetly flashing a bomb to
the stewardess and handing her a note. On
landing, as the other passengers disembarked
without any clue of Cooper’s intentions,
authorities met his demands of $200,000 in cash
and a set of parachutes. The 727 then took off
following Cooper’s instructions and, shortly
thereafter, he leapt from the plane into a stormy
night. Since then, few clues have surfaced
concerning the crime

22. 1/19/2015
 . A boy found some of
Cooper’s cash along a
riverbank and, recently, the
FBI thought his parachute had
been found, but it turned out
not to be the case. One man
emerged as a suspect after he
died, since on his death bed
he told his wife, “I’m D.B.
Cooper.” She told the
Discovery Channel’s Unsolved
History that his confession,
true or not, had ruined her life.
If Cooper died in the jump,
which the FBI contends, his
remains won’t be found as
Mount St. Helens covered the

23. Taos Hum
1/19/2015
 The Taos Hum is perhaps the best-known among a
handful of very low-frequency “humming” sounds that
people have reported hearing in various parts of the
world, including the UK, North America and New
Zealand. Questions persist about its origins, that
maybe it’s paranormal or that it may be the sound of
the universe expanding. Curiously, the most sensitive
acoustic devices -- far more sensitive than the clumsy
human ear -- typically fail to pick up a note of
humming. While local investigators have succeeded
in tracing the source in some cases.For instance, the
Kokomo Hum in Kokomo, Indiana, proved to be
coming from a Chrysler plant. Could it be that it’s just
all in our heads? After all, the regional "hums" and the
symptoms reported by sufferers are so varied and
often so contradictory that the source of the noise
may be our imaginations.

24. Assassination Of John F kennedy
1/19/2015
 The assassination of President Kennedy lands at
No. 1 not because it is one of the great unsolved
mysteries of our time, but because of its
unmatched cultural impact. For many people --
who were alive at the time and who were not born
yet -- President Kennedy represented something
truly larger than life. Consequently it was, and still
remains, nearly impossible for them to imagine a
giant like JFK being killed by a loser with a scope
and a view.

25. 1/19/2015
 vAmong the many testaments to this is the
remarkably desperate diligence of conspiracy
theorists, who can ignore 2,999 pages of
declassified CIA documents and focus on a single
line from page 3,000, and build a complicated
theory of a mob hit or a Cuban connection.
 The inability to accept the theory of a lone
gunman, and the ability to believe in any other
scenario despite the lack of even a trace of
conclusive evidence, is the greater mystery here
because it hints at something mysterious,
remarkably fragile and even endearing about the
human psyche.

27. Antelope Springs Footprint
1/19/2015
 On June 1, 1968, amateur fossil hunter William J.
Meister Sr. took his family on a trip to Antelope
Springs. Meister couldn’t take off his fossil-hunting
jacket, though, and went in search of trilobite fossils.
He eventually found a fossil with what looked like a
shoe imprint, the heel digging in deeper than the rest
of the foot. Below the imprint, he found two trilobite
fossils. Meister immediately thought that the person
wearing the shoes had stepped onto the fossils.
 Taking it for examination, Meister and fellow
researchers dated the fossil at almost 600 million
years old and determined it was likely formed in
Middle Cambrian Wheeler Shale. When they explored
the area, they discovered slabs of mudstone that had,
once upon a time, formed an entire land area.

28. 1/19/2015
 The mystery, however, is that while the shoe print
clearly indicates someone standing or stepping
on the trilobites, there is no evidence indicating
any pressure on the trilobites themselves. Also,
the trilobites were marine creatures, meaning that
whoever created the shoe print had entered their
area. Why exactly, nobody knows.

30. The Panxian Dadong Caves
1/19/2015
 The Panxian Dadong Caves are known to have
housed humans 300,000 years ago. It is also known
that large animals inhabited the vicinity of the caves
as well. Scientists, however, were extremely surprised
to find prehistoric deposits indicating massive
stegodons and rhinoceros also lived, or at least died,
inside the caves. They found this very strange, seeing
as how the caves are 1,600 meters (5,250 ft) above
sea level.
 Paleoanthropologist Lynne Schepartz stated how rare
is is to find animals in a cave that don’t typically live in
them. She believed that stegodons and rhinos were
very unlikely to simply wander into the cave. Rhinos,
in particular, are solitary animals that graze on their

31. 1/19/2015
 One theory involves carnivorous animals killing
the mammals and dragging them into the cave.
The most likely answer, though, would be human
intervention. Inspection of the bones showed that
they were burnt and then pounded by what could
only have been a tool made out of stone.
 The last expedition to the cave took place in
1998. To date, no further progress has been
made in determining just exactly how those large
animals got into the cave at all.

33. Ever burning Lamps
1/19/2015
 Lamps that kept on burning without using any fuel
were discovered all over the world during the
Middle Ages. These lamps were sealed into
tombs, supposedly to ensure the deceased had
light to guide them on their way to the afterlife.
Some of these tombs were opened years later,
and the lamps were still burning.
 Superstitious types became terrified of this
phenomenon, destroying any ever-burning lamp
they came across. People accused pagan priests
of trickery. Others simply refused to believe that a
lamp could burn for an indefinite period of time.
The vast majority claimed that the Devil was to

34. 1/19/2015
 Speculation was also rife that Hebrew communities
had discovered and preserved what today is known
as electricity. According to the legend, a French rabbi
named Jechiele possessed a lamp that could light up
by itself, with no fuel or wick. Jechiele, according to
this tale, invented a special button that would
discharge an electric current to his metal door
knocker. If someone touched the door knocker at the
same time the rabbi touched the nail, the person
would receive a shock and double over.
 Even with electricity being a common thing nowadays,
all who have tried to replicate the ever-burning lamps
have failed. Therefore the question remains: How
were these lamps able to keep burning for hundreds
