7 STRANGEST Historical Mysteries that Will BAFFLE You

7 STRANGEST Historical Mysteries From giant unexplained explosions to monuments 10,000-20,000 years old to the idea that Christopher Columbus may never have even existed, these are the 7 Strangest Historical Mysteries. Narration provided by JaM Advertising New Mexico www.tasteofjam.com A few millennia ago ancient Europeans were getting along just fine inventing the baguette and hunting unicorns to extinction, but sometime around 2500 BC a mysterious and unknown event occurred, one which was to change the genetic makeup of European people forever. The development of human civilization from hunter-gatherers to a more permanent existence in towns and cities is believed to have begun around 8000 BC, and the typical process went something like this – find a nice patch of land, build a few homes, raise some animals and crops, and then construct a temple or monument to the almighty God to thank him for providing you with such a delightful place to live. The Indus Valley people were a bronze-age civilisation whose population of five million people straddled the areas of modern day Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. They were a prosperous and self-sustaining society whose advanced cities even had their own sophisticated water and sewage draining systems, which is something Flint Michigan doesn’t even have today. But having first settled the area in 3000 BC, by 1700 BC the entire population of the Indus Valley had been wiped out. In July 1901 a 2000 year old Greek cargo ship was discovered at the bottom of the ocean just off the coast of the Greek Island Antikythera, and within its ruins was this, the Antikythera Mechanism. The Antikythera Mechanism was basically an ancient analogue computer made of bronze clockwork gears which the Greeks used to predict the positions of moons, stars and planets…and maybe also to look up some ancient Greek pornos when everyone had gone to bed. On the morning of June 30th 1908 a huge fireball was seen barrelling towards the Earth, causing an explosion in Eastern Siberia which obliterated more than 2000 square kilometres of forest and wildlife - yet nobody knows exactly what caused this devastating incident.

1. #3 was a comet
2. 5:47 The Greeks also invented anal sex.............
3. October 12 is my birthday. So the twelfth will still be a holiday for me.
4. ... ask aliens they know all (we are animals) ...
5. When are you people going to learn that "decimate" simply means to reduce by 10 per cent?
   Aaaagh!!! You make blood shoot out my eyes!!!
6. end the Christopher Columbus lies how can you discover land that already has people on it I guess by committing the biggest genocide known Earth.... I hate CC
7. I don't understand the confusion with Christopher Columbus. When we say that he discovered America, they mean he discovered it for Spain and the rest of Europe and the world that didn't know about it. Obviously not for the natives. Also, he gets the credit because he was the captain. There's A LOT of evidence of his existence in the Dominican Republic and he was not italian. His name was Cristobal Colón.
8. hmm it is still a mystery why our Indus people suddenly vanished, very little is known abt that advanced civilization,
9. Might have been interesting except for the distraction of the horrible attempt at humorous remarks that were, at best, stupid.
10. philosopher's stone were made st every disappreance of civilisations...the greatest stone has yet to be formed
11. You should learn the proper pronunciation of names next time..still well done.
12. We don't get a day off on October twelfth
13. Way to dumb it all down with that narration. Hey kids!
14. you are peeing people lol
15. Many of these ancient civilisations vanished because the natural resources of the area they lived in became depleted, for example a drought may cause drinking water to dry up, disease may have killed their animals/herds.
16. Your narrator is spewing analytics just as worse as public school text books...
17. unicorns never were
18. Just why does everyone keep stating, and assuming that the builders of Gobekli Tepe were wandering primitive nomads? Nobody knows that?! Obviously they weren't!!!!! Otherwise they wouldn't have been able to engineer such genius, spectacular monuments. This is probably antediluvian construction, since we know next to nothing of human kind prior to that.For all we know, all they were skilled engineers & planners! We need to stop assuming prehistoric people were like the Flintstones. Jeez.
19. Mideasterners are trying to replace Europeans again right now.
20. and the Africans in brazil and Africans in America since the Africans had ships and were nearest to it.
    this is very eurocentric but still interesting.
    he seems to think the Africans didn't exist
