Now if only the royals would allow dna testing on the bones found in the tower to see if they are the lost princes. Try and get that mystery solved.

I was stationed at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave desert. We actually saw "sailing rocks" sail. They didn't need ice. The dry lake bed (Rogers) would get wet at night from condensation and make the surface have a kind of slimy mud. Any kind of wind could make the rocks move. It was even hard to walk on when it got like that but you could run and then slide for a great distance. It cracked me up that this was considered a big mystery.

I think the saddest one was the find of Anastasia. I think people just were hopeful that one of the children had survived.😥

I paused the video at Troy because it didn't go into Heinrich Schliemann at all. He was a speculator, got rich from luck and war profiteering, and like nearly all early "archaeologists," was something of a grifter. Sure, as the video says, he discovered the nine levels of the city of Troy, after he profited off of another, poorer, actual amateur archaeologist's work -- I was amazed the video even mentioned the guy who actually deserved the credit -- but after Schliemann began excavating, he utterly destroyed the historical city of Troy by using dynamite. He wrongly believed, for no real reason, that the city of Hector and Priam would be the lowest layer, so he dynamite right down through all the layers to get to it, destroying the entire site in the process, including level six, which is believed to be the actual right time period for the Trojan war. He then found some gold and jewels on the bottom layer, smuggled them out of the country, called them Priam's treasure, and then had his wife wearing them as bling at parties all over England. And this guy has been touted as "the father of archaeology" for decades. Meanwhile, this is only the worst of his atrocities, as it's suspected that he purchased antiquities from elsewhere and then passed them off as artifacts of important figures in history, such as the mask of Agamemnon, and the bust of Cleopatra, solely to aggrandize himself. Anyway ... now you know how to make an archaeology grad angry. Bring up Schliemann...

history is truly the greatest story of all time. i don’t get why people don’t want to understand or talk more about it.

You missed the most obvious explanation for the Bermuda Triangle that came out around the same time --- statistically, there simply aren't more disasters in the Bermuda Triangle than anywhere else, once you take into account how heavily-trafficked the area is.

03:15 I expected “This was discovered by the glacier’s namesake” to be followed by something like “Jonathan M Bloodfalls”

So, did we figure out how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? These are real questions 😂😂

0:41 20) King Tut’s Tomb 1:50 19) The Connecticut Vampire 2:51 18) Blood Falls 3:55 17) Ancient Viking Code 4:41 16) The Starchild Skull 5:44 15) The Lost Army of Cambyses 7:00 14) The Flying Dutchman 8:04 13) The City of Troy 9:31 12) The Easter Island Heads 10:56 11) The Classic Maya Collapse 12:04 10) The Fate of The Franklin Expedition 13:13 9) Mysterious Notes in “The Odyssey” 13:51 8) King Richard III’s Death 15:00 7) The Sailing Stones 15:54 6) The Face on Mars 16:32 5) The Location of The USS Indianapolis 17:45 4) How the Pyramids Were Built 18:47 3) What Caused the Tunguska Event 20:00 2) The Bermuda Triangle 21:09 1) Anastasia’s Escape

There are still MANY Egyptian rulers whose tombs are still missing. Tutankhamun was not the last, by any means.

One thing this proves is what my history teacher told me… people tend to point the finger to aliens on things we don’t understand yet

They have discovered how the Easter Island heads were moved. A number of people, working together, would rock them back and forth or "walk" them.

Narrator: "Found in Southern Antarctica..." Me: Wait.... So in the middle???

A lot of the incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle only actually had things go wrong after the ship or aircraft had left them.

Wow, this makes science seem that much more interesting!

I'm still thinking about how the existence of "southern Antarctica" (3:07) means "northern Antarctica" is also a thing

They’ll never figure out who put the bop in the bopshibopshibop. Or for that matter, who put the ram in the ramalamadingdong

If you can find more solved historical mysteries, will DEFINITELY be hoping for an eventual part 2 please🤞

I imagine aliens watching this and saying "Damm Earth scientists! They take away all the credit from us!"
