Greatest mysteries in history?


Looking to read or watch something about real mysteries, it can be anything, pyramids, JFK, aliens, cults, life-death-heaven-hell, time travel, bigfoot, mind reading, people who 'vanished', etc...

Can you (seriously) mention some of the greatest mysteries ever.

That one freaks me out. In this day of computerized everything, how does a huge plane disappear?

a true mystery

If I could pick one real life mystery to find the answer to it would be who killed JonBenét Ramsey.

The Princes in the Tower!

Sure, young Edward and Richard had been declared bastards and ex-princes, but people were always being declared bastards and legitimate and bastards again as politics waxed and waned (look at Elizabeth I). They were both a direct threat to the reign of Richard III and his Yorkist supporters, and in the way of Henry Tudor and his Lancaster supporters. Somehow they vanished, and in 500 years, nobody has ever found out where they ended up or who was responsible. All we're sure of is that they're dead now!

Plus, this great unsolved centuries-old mystery has a bonus round: The Perkin Warbeck thing. Was "Warbeck" really Prince Richard, all grown up after having been smuggled out of the tower? Or was he a top-quality impostor?

reply

Still didn’t end well for Warbeck, whoever he was.

reply

Yeah, we're VERY sure that Warbeck is dead by now!

The whole thing mystery makes a great read, but it's very frustrating to know that nobody will ever know what really happened. If 500 years of research hasn't turned up any answers, it's not going to happen now.

No sh*t Sherlock lol

Very true! Like so many of these mysteries...intriguing and frustratingly unsatisfying!

reply

Original face and the age of the Sphinx always fascinates me, Charlton Heston presented a documentary about it.

reply

Ancient Aliens and the ancient astronaut theories - they’re always interesting to watch/read about.

reply

Nobody said Jack the Ripper yet. That one is still unsolved.

reply

Jack The Ripper.

reply

Oh! Yes, that’s always interesting, if very gruesome.

reply

The Zodiac
JFK
How the pyramids were built.
Jimmy Hoffa

Who was DB Copper?

reply

3 of those can hardly be called mysteries. And the pyramid one hasn't been a mystery for centuries
