Why bother with something that is lost and what matter the most is your conscience and how you perceive something. It depends on the point of view of everybody.

    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.

    ​@@m4eouYou know people can care about more than one thing at once, right? African kids dying is bad. Murdering kids because you don't like how their father is doing things, also bad. You also should know that blaming children for the actions of their parents & the adults making the decisions isn't the moral gotcha you seem to think. Blaming a young girl who had zero choice in who she was born to & zero influence to effect any kind of change in circumstances for herself let alone anyone else around her is kind of unhinged ngl. Her entire short life was controlled in every single aspect, right up to who she'd have eventually been forced to marry had she lived & then her husband would have controlled what she did. While the cage may have been guilded & the food might have been good, a prison is still a prison. Nice whataboutism though. Have a great day.

The deaths in his country were the result of him and since crowns are hereditary each son was a chance to go back to tsarist monarchy system, whitewashed by cinema like if it were ok to have a dictatorship as long as you give it back to you son when you die. Nobody is justifing the death of an inocent child, but it sounds to me like feeling pity for Eva Brown or Mussolini's wife during world war ii, showing more empathy towards a 1% of incredibly rich and fortunate parasites because they died with a famous name after ruining countries were millions died nameless in a ditch during famine and wars.

    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...

    The problem isnt that the disasters happen, its that planes and ships flat out vanish with no warning or anything. And there is still a very scientific reason being bandied about right now, hydrogen gas. There is a bunch of frozen gas at the bottom of the ocean in that are, sometimes it thaws and releases into the water, that would kill the buoyance of ships sinking em like rocks and would also take out the engines on any plane caught in the gas once it leaves the water and gets into the air. Hard for people to give out maydays when they are sank/crashed faster than they can respond.

    The settlers moved inland, left a note even in the tree stating such, then made a life coinciding with the natives in the area. It's actually not all that mysterious but historically the records were incredibly biased against the indigenous people, and portraying them as anything other than "savages" was not part of the narrative. If you're really interested please look into the History of the Lumbee tribe in North Carolina (Use caution with your sources though because their story is unfortunately diluted and corrupted bc of politics and systemic racism).

    The Tudor dynasty - is the only dynasty that benefited from killing the princes. They knocked out their competition. Richard III hid them away, trying to save them. It makes sense that they were buried in the same Tower they were hiding in - because the Tudor soldiers were all over the property. Potential witnesses to seeing them alive. In order to blame Richard, they had to be killed in the same place they were found cowering. Their bodies couldn't leave the building or else people would know. The Tudor dynasty got to write history. But the people in the North of England never believed this crap.

    Regarding #12: We do know (now) how the Moai were moved form the quaries to where they were errected: the Rapa Nui "walked" then to their place by wrapping a rope aorund the head, and then have a group of at least ten people on either side pull and release respectively, to wobble the carved monolith. They'd take side steps with each tilt of the monolith in their respective direction, to get it to move foreward. There's a few videos of researchers demonstrating this technique around youtube. But the frustrating part about it is, that all the first europeans who were wondering about how the monoliths got to their pedestals from the quary had to do, was actually _listen_ to the Rapa Nui when they told the europeans that they walked the statues to their place, and not dismiss that as superstious talk.

    The explanation for the so-called "Bermuda Triangle is two-fold: shallow seas and heavy traffic of both sea and air. And always has been. The whole thing about the Bermuda triangle was concocted by a pulp fiction writer back in the early Fifties who needed a quick buck. The ratio of lost ships and aircraft is no worse there than any other comparable heavily trafficked area in the world.

    So this may not please you, but the Bermuda Triangle was busted, they just don’t cover everything here. It’s on of the most highly trafficked areas in the world, boats and planes. It’s also notorious for terrible weather. If you’re from the states you know it’s where all our hurricanes and tropical storms form. With high traffic and constant terrible weather the likeliness for incidents rises. Almost any case of someone dying or missing can be attributed to terrible weather. The ocean is extremely unforgiving

    Same here about the real mystery. 🫣 My takeaway question is why do they call something from the 12-13th century "ancient Viking". It's not ancient, it's medieval. It's post-Viking age. Just because it's a non-Latin alphabet in Northern Europe does not mean it's as far removed from us as, say, Tutankhamen, and it does not take away from the mystery to admit as much. Arguably, considering the Voynich Manuscript, it actually adds to the mystery. 🙂
