10 jaw dropping anomalies on Earth that scientists struggle to explain

YouTube Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/iRVVb2gKDEM?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1

Our planet is so far the most unique planet in the universe since it’s the only one which has life—apparently intelligent life—on it. However, that fact aside, Earth has countless mysteries that will never cease to amaze us.

No matter where you look, you’ll find something mind-bogglingly impressive, something weird, something inexplicable.

In this article, we take a look at some of these places which have left scientists bewildered.

Zone of Silence—where radios don’t work, clocks are lost in time, and compasses spin out of control.

One of the weirdest places on Earth.

Situated on the 27th parallel north are the Bermuda Triangle, you know the place that allegedly swallows boats, cargo ships, and even airplanes, the Pyramids of Giza, which according to many were built as massive energy machines by an unknown civilization, and the Himalayas, the Himalayas are really cool, but in addition to those three places, there another once which baffled experts.

Referred to as the zone of Silence or “Zona de Silencio,” this area of land located in Mexico is one of the most anomalous places on Earth.

According to reports, nothing seems to properly function here as scientists have failed to understand how clocks stop, radios go haywire, and the compass spins out of control.

Located some 2,000 meters above sea level, the Zone of Silence strangely coincides with the enigmatic Bermuda Triangle and the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

Göbekli Tepe, our planets OLDEST temple.

Gobekli Tepe

The oldest temple on the surface of our planet is located in modern-day Turkey and is referred to as Göbekli Tepe. This fascinating ancient structure is considered to be 6,500 years older than Stonehenge and around 7,000 years older than the oldest of the Pyramids—meaning that it was created around 12,000 years ago by a mysterious civilization. This ancient temple is referred to as the Stonehenge of the desert, and experts are still trying to understand what its true meaning was.

Gravity Hills—A place where Gravity isn’t gravity.

Located in India we come across the infamous Gravity Hill, a place where if you decide to take your car for a ride and decide to park it for an awkward reason on the hill and decide to put it out of gear into neutral, the car will start moving UPWARDS, almost as if some mysterious force you can’t see was pulling the car upwards.

Eternal Flame Falls, USA—where fire defies water.

Located in the USA is a strange phenomenon that looks almost as if there’s a fire burning in the middle of a waterfall. This unusual waterfall is the product of mother nature, and scientists say that it’s perfectly explainable as there are small fissures in the rock which emit natural gas, causing to burn. At times the flame extinguishes and needs to be reignited. Legends say that whoever manages to reanimate the flame will be blessed with fortune.

Meet the enigmatic Castle Frangokastello—home of the only documented time mirage in the world.

Built by the Venetians sometime between 1371 and 1374, the castle was built as a garrison to protect Venetian nobles and their land. Its builders named it Castle of St. Nikitas but locals contemptuously dubbed it Frangokastello, meaning the Castle of the Franks.

On May 17, 1828, a famous battle took places at the castle when hundreds of Sfakiots and Epirotes commanded by Hatzimichalis Dalianis, a Greek patriot from Epirus occupied the fortification but were eventually besieged by the Turks. Later, the Turks were also killed and massacred by ambushes. The anniversary of the battle shows the shadows of the fallen soldiers march towards the fortress around dawn.

Every year around May, the castle is home to a bewildering phenomenon where ‘shadows’ of armed soldiers march from the monastery of Agios Charalambos to the Castle. The phenomenon is observable—and was even documented—in the early hours when the sea is quiet, and humidity in the air is high. The event lasts for around 10 minutes.

For centuries has the Bermuda triangle created chaos among sailors, and pilots in recent decades.

 

The area is known as the Bermuda Triangle, aka The Devil’s triangle, and it stretches some 700 kilometers from Florida, Puerto Rico to Bermuda. In the last 100 years alone has the enigmatic area taken the life or around 1,000 people without explanation.

The Bermuda triangle just happens to be one of the most transited areas on the planet, as it is an international “highway” for shipping lanes as countless vessels transit the area in order to arrive from America to Europe or vice versa.

Explanations for the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes range from Aliens, mystery pyramids, weather phenomenon to portals to another dimension.

Interestingly, the United States Coast Guard does not recognize the existence of the so-called Bermuda Triangle, aka Devil’s Triangle as an area of specific hazard to ships or planes.

Pyramids—Pyramids everywhere. It’s as if someone traveled to all ancient cultures scattered across the globe and said: Build Pyramids and build them like this.

Pyramdis Giza
Why are so many pyramids eerily similar?

The truth is that Pyramids are spread across the entire planet.

No matter where you decide to look, there are Pyramids of all sizes and shapes, but mysteriously a large number of them is eerily similar despite the fact that many of them were built by different ancient civilizations, scattered across the globe.

Why do Pyramids in South and Central America resemble their counterparts in Asia or India? What was the purpose of the Pyramids? And how come there are so many similarities among the thousands of Pyramids on Earth?

Dolmens—just like Pyramids, dolmens are EVERYWHERE.

Just like there are Pyramids scattered on nearly all continents on Earth, the enigmatic Dolmens are also spread across different continents. We can find these mysterious stone structure everywhere, from Korea, China, Scandinavia, Russia, Spain, Portugal, etc…

Why so many exist, and why many of them are so familiar has bothered experts who are unable to fully explain them. Archaeologists believe they were built as tombs for people belonging to the royal class, but many authors disagree. Oh and, there’s that strange thing that happens when you bring electric devices near some of the dolmens—they behave erratically almost as if something was interfering with the devices.

The enigma behind the Cochno stone—an ancient Star Map?

Few have heard about a mysterious 5,000-year-old stone slab covered in strange, alien-like symbols.

Discovered in 1887 by Rev. James Harvey, this enigmatic piece of stone contains around 90 strange indentations and is considered to host one of the finest sets of petroglyphs not only in Scotland but on Earth.

Scientists cannot agree on what the symbols mean and why so many of them are similar to crops circles, or constellations in the sky.

Some have ventured out and said that the Cochno stone is a 5,000-year-old star map.

Atlantis & Lemuria—Latitudes & Longitudes

There has been speculation about the very existence of the continents of Atlantis and Lemuria for literally hundreds of years. Yes, they did exist, but all records of their societies’ existence for over 50,000 years were destroyed, with the exception of the writings of Plato and legends.

The continent of Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean, but most of it perished in an enormous natural disaster when a line of volcanoes, bisecting the continent on top of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, all erupted approximately 31,000 years ago. A few remnants remained—the Bahamas to the south, a few islands off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire, Bermuda and the Canary Islands. These islands were also wiped clean by the tsunamis that followed. There were seven other islands slightly to the west of the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that I’ll cover below.

Before the natural disaster, the continent of Atlantis was in the shape of a parallelogram. To the east, Atlantis came within 30 miles (48 kilometers) of the African Coast, then named the Land of OZ. To the west, it ran parallel approximately 100 miles (160 kilometers) off the North American coastline.

Please keep in mind these latitudes and longitudes act as BOUNDARIES for the continent. The Atlantean Continent was contained within these boundaries.

Northern edge: Latitude 47° N

Southern edge: Latitude 30° N

Southern tip:  Latitude 26° N, 18° W. Longitude

Western edge: 75° – 80° W. Longitude

Eastern edge: 17°-18° W. Longitude

You can go to www.earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ and place your cursor in the Atlantic and in the right hand lower corner the longitudes and latitudes will be displayed. Just move your cursor to the above coordinates to see Atlantis’ location. There are buttons at the top to zoom out or in as needed.

The Atlantean Continent was about 10% larger than present-day Australia. Since the shape of the Atlantean Continent was a parallelogram, let’s take the 47° North Latitude first. If you were to draw a line across the Atlantic Ocean, starting a little under the southern coast of Newfoundland to where it intersects 17° West Longitude, that’s as far to the east the continent extended. Then, if you were to draw a line across the Atlantic at 30° North Latitude when it intersects 18° West Longitude, you have three sides of the parallelogram.

Where Latitude 47° North intersects 75° West Longitude this gives you the western point for the northern edge of the continent. Draw a line down parallel to the North American Continent curving along the Florida coast until it meets 26° latitude. That is the tail of the Atlantean Continent, encompassing what we know as the Bahama Islands today. The tail began at the 30° North Latitude at approximately 77° West Longitude.

When the Atlantean Continent sank, it displaced an enormous amount of water, resulting in all of the oceans of the world rising 160 feet (49 meters) destroying every single city, town, and village worldwide. Most of the records of the world were lost at that moment in history.

The seven other islands previously mentioned included Poseidia, round in shape and about the size of Cuba, and located on a line to the east, slightly above present day Boston. Aryan, a little larger than the island of Hispaniola was 375 miles (603 km) to the south. Below Aryan, there were five other islands—one so small that some accounts do not list it, but it was inhabited. Over a long period of time, Poseidia was inhabited by the Law of One people and Aryan and its island group by the Sons of Belial. Their dislike for each other reached a boiling point 12,500 years ago and they destroyed themselves in a horrific war, where one-and-one-half million people died the first day. The islands sank into the Atlantic, and the oceans of the world rose 41 feet (12.5 meters). This was when the story of Noah and the Ark actually took place.

The continent of Mu, or Lemuria as it was also called, was in the shape of a potato and about 12% larger than present day Australia. Before the sinking of the Atlantean Continent it was connected to what is now Japan, but the rising seas broke the connection. It came within about 100 miles of present day Hawaii, and for thousands of years the Lemurians vacationed there, imprinting the islands with their energy.

Here are the longitudes and latitudes for the continent of Mu or Lemuria.

Northern edge: Latitude 37°- 38° N

Southern edge: Latitude 14.5° N

Southern Tip: Latitude 12.5° N, 130° E. Longitude

Western edge: 135° – 145° E. Longitude

Eastern edge: 180°-165° W. Longitude

The northern edge of the continent varied between 37° and 38° Latitude North until it intersected with 135° East Longitude and turned down, coming close to Hawaii. Then you have the southern edge of the Mu continent at 14.5° intersecting with 180° West Longitude.

The northern edge of Mu at around 38° Latitude North intersected the western edge at around 145° Longitude to form the western edge and drawing a line down to 14.5° Latitude forming the western edge of the continent.

Mu also had a short tail in the middle of the continent, extending down to 12.5° Latitude North, 130° East Longitude.

The continent of Mu was an idyllic place to live for thousands of years. That ended approximately 7,500 years ago when the seven countries not only destroyed themselves with hydrogen type bombs, but also broke apart the continent. And again, millions of people perished all over the world when the oceans rose 170 feet (52 meters). Additionally, it destroyed all the records kept in those cities and towns.

Is it any wonder that people have doubted these continents’ existence when virtually all the records of their existence no longer exist?

Lastly, I’ve been told to tell you that we will never destroy ourselves again; therefore we can learn the history of these two continents without fear of repeating ourselves.

GJ 1132 b doesn’t have an atmosphere, according to new JWST data

Astronomers sometimes find conflicting data when trying to answer a question. This is a normal part of the scientific process, and it simply means that more data is needed to prove or disprove the theory they are trying to test. One prominent example of conflicting data in recent exoplanet research was that of planet GJ 1132 b, which either had or didn’t have an atmosphere, depending on which data set was being used.
