1. Hitler's loot is most likely in banks across the globe
2. Interesting
3. #1 I think the most likely possibility for why the "Babushka lady" was never seen again was that she died.
   Kennedy wasn't the only person to die that day. People still had accidents and some died of illness or suicide. In fact, I'd be surprised if no one chose the President's assassination as a "last straw" event in their decision to end their own life.
4. 8:40 "Neither can Jesus' divinity" Assuming of course, that Jesus was divine, if he ever existed.
5. #4 Most likely the entire story of Jesus was made up, including the Star of Bethlehem. There are many historical and factual inconsistencies in the story. Especially in areas where new laws were created a few hundred years after the time of Jesus that are spoken of in the story, though these laws would not have existed at the time, they are mentioned in the story.
   If the story of Jesus is fictional, them most likely so is the "star".
   I love how Simon includes several possibilities to explain this, INCLUDING aliens, yet he leaves out the most likely possibility, that it never existed.
6. #6 I think this one WAS in fact, sent by aliens, but it was a mistake.
   A long time ago, on a planet far, FAR away a young radio astronomer was sending out "first contact" messages to their galactic neighbors.
   He worked his way down the list when he came to the star known to it's local inhabitants as "Sol" (though it was known to him by a strange alphanumerical code name) and was surprised to see that, though a planet in this system was known to support intelligent life no message was ever sent.
   Wanting to correct this clear oversight he aimed his telescope at the star.
   Fortunately his supervisor happened to walk in just as he pressed the "send" button.
   "What are you doing!" the boss yelled, running to press the abort button, stopping the transmission.
   "There are some really crazy aliens on that world. Totally unsuitable for contact."
   "Why? It says here that they are intelligent and have even begun a primitive space program."
   "Well they are intelligent, but only insofar as engineering and mathematics. but even though they all look alike, aside from how dark their skin is, the people with dark skin can't get along with the lighter skinned ones."
   "But that's stupid. Even our stone age ancestors didn't judge each other by how they looked. How can a species possibly advance out of the stone age while practicing such racism?"
   "That is a very good question!"
   Fortunately the only part of the message sent was an attention getting device designed to catch the eye of radio astronomers. It contained no information. It was simply a "Hey look over here!" call.
   The stupid aliens so xenophobic they couldn't even get along with themselves were just left with a mystery, never to be invited to join the great "Galactic Community" where advanced technology was freely shared among thousands of advanced cultures.
   Until the humans (if they could even do it) overcome their inherent racism they will be forever confined to a single planet with limited resources.
   Perhaps some day they will extinguish themselves and in a few years the Galactic Community will have a nice planet to colonize.
7. Simon, I think it's time to head back to England. The Czech Republic is destroying your English.
   It should be "Unsolved Historical Mysteries."
8. All stolen by the USA and the former Soviet Union.
9. no robot voice. I LOVE IT! GREAT VIDEO. DEFINENTLY WORTH A LIKE. A SUBSCRIPTION AS WELL
10. Wouldn't be surprised if a distant relative of mine stole Hitler's gold.
11. Hitlers gold : Forget it , it was in a tunnel and they found it already !!! It was so much that this just may really have bin IT !!! Bud sure keep surging !!! LOL !!!
12. lol Ferdinand Marcos Is The Riches People of all Over the World Marcos Have Many Gold estimating 1000billion dollars
13. Unsolved Mysteries are not unsolved or mysteries until you can first prove the actually existed/happened.
14. We don't know diddly about his life. We don't know his real name. We don't know where he was born or when. I could go on. Historians have trying to track down his real history for years. What they put in public school books is simplistic and follows established party lines.
15. Edgar Cayce is the truth, im surprised more people dont even know who he is. Bahamian road is was part of Atlantis, he also said the hall of records is inder the sphinx's right paw..well guess what there is a room there but Cayce said we will excavate it in 2030's and the discovery will change humanity
16. We know practically nothing about Christopher Columbus' life before he swam ashore the Portugese coast after the battle of Cape St. Vincent. The suggestion that he was a wool merchant from Genua was debunked almost as soon as it was aired, during the trials concerning his inheritance.
17. If the narrator doesn't learn how to pronounce his words properly, or stop slaughtering people's names, I will be forced to stop watching. Real talk, Top Tenz has more errors than Youtube channels that use robotic automated narrators. It's pretty obnoxious, invest a few minutes of basic research, before you turn on the mic. There's usually 5-10 mistakes, and I give him the benefit of a doubt for any British slang, I've known lot's of Brits. That said,for the most part, watchable content. P.S. I know you don't care if I stop watching, but, c'mon guys.
18. hey what if the star of Bethlehem is realy god showing the world the the son of man has been born
19. You can say Reich? God... You americans who can pronounce g propably! I know its CH but its the same sound, and not the G from Gold, the one thats at the back of the throat you propably suck at Rs too!
20. the treasure IS at the bottom of Lake Toplitz. however because of the amont of logss on the bottim and the murky conditions, its almost impossible for divers to retreave them
