5 Ancient Mysteries That Continue To Baffle Scientists Despite All The Advancements In Tech

Every day, we hear about new technological breakthroughs, and it seems that there isn't much out there that cannot be explained. Consider this: there's a billionaire who is ready to establish colonies on Mars, an entirely different planet. If that isn't absolutely bizarre, then what is?

This makes it even more interesting and surprising that some marvels in the world still remain a mystery to us. So, bring out your inner Indiana Jones, and let's explore things that continue to remain an enigma for us.

The Great Pyramids Of Giza: Wizards Made Them Or Aliens?

Pyramids are well-documented archaeological structures that have stood the test of time for more than 4,500 years, yet still leave us in awe. There are so many conspiracy theories surrounding them that may sound ludicrous. Were ancient Egyptians engineering wizards, or did extraterrestrial entities lend a hand? We don't know, and the plot continues to thicken faster than a pyramid's walls.

Stonehenge: Can They Really Heal You?

Okay! Picture this: giant uneven-shaped stones standing tall in the English countryside, positioned in a circle — doesn't it feel like something straight out of a show based on Vikings? But it's very real and very mysterious. Some people think it has astronomical observatory-related purposes, others think it is a hotspot for ancient rituals or a burial ground. There is also a myth which says these stones have mystical healing powers. The truth still remains uncovered.

The Nazca Lines: We Might Know Who Was The Painter But For What Purpose?

These ancient geoglyphs in Peru, which include geometrical and animal symbols like birds, spiders, and monkeys, etched into the desert are said to have been made by the Nazca people. They are clearly visible from an aerial point of view, but scientists have yet to decipher their purpose. What's really baffling is that these designs spread across around 19 square miles are made with such precision that we are compelled to ask, are we truly the most advanced generation?

The Moai Statues: The Guardian Angel With No Legs?

These mysterious statues are made of giant stones, but they appear to have been guarding Easter Island in Chile for centuries. The question is, how were they carved and moved into place, considering they are all over the island and some appear to be positioned systematically? According to reports, these statues were made by the Rapa Nui people, but they carved them from volcanic rock weighing up to 75 tons. Were the people who made them bigger than the statues? Are they even humans? We're still dialing in on the answer.

The Antikythera Mechanism: Arguably The World's First Computer But For What? 

Just around 2,000 years old, this mechanism is arguably the world's first computer, but scientists still cannot agree on its purpose. Was it used to track the cycles of the Olympic games? Or does it have astronomical and astrological field-related use cases? While scientists aren't sure about that, they are very interested to know (just like us) how advanced Greek innovators were at that time. Or was it a time traveler?
