and click the notification bell for more amazing videos every day that being said let's begin number 15 the bouzoukia Monument on Mount Azusa at the site of a battle between the Ottoman Empire and the Bulgarian rebels in 1868 sits a building that's both unique and hypnotic the building is known as the bazooka Monument and is the former Bulgarian Communist Party headquarters it might have been a former headquarters but it looks more like a UFO therefore it goes by the name of Bulgaria's UFO and is a popular destination for urban explorers it sits on a Bald Hill nestled between forested gorges and rolling mountains and now lies abandoned the monument was built in 1981 to both house the Bulgarian Communist Party and serve as a monument to historical events however after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989 it was abandoned and left to fall into a state of disrepair vandalism and time have made the monument dangerous which is why it's now forbidden you can visit and look from the outside but there are security guards to prevent people from entering not that you can anyway for its now packed with stones and as welding and metal plates to prevent entry this unique monument is permanently closed and time will tell whether it's demolished or returned to its former glory as a kind of Museum and memorial to past events number fourteen North Sentinel island India traveling somewhere new can be quite nerve-wracking especially if you don't understand the culture but what if visiting somewhere new could also be dangerous all travel to the North Sentinel island in India is prohibited and it's not worth breaking the rules to find out why North Sentinel island forms part of the archipelago in the Bay of Bengal and is one of the Andaman Islands south Sentinel island is also included a tribe of sentinels people lives on the island which for as long as anyone knows has rejected contact with the outside world but then I'll just say no thank you and send your boat away they fire bows at you with every chance you won't get away the Sentinelese people are one of the few groups left in the world who have not been influenced or impacted by modern society such is the danger associated with travel to the island at the Andaman and Nicobar Island protection of Aboriginal tribes Act of 1956 prohibits anyone from getting within 5 nautical miles of the island but the dangers are not only for violence from the tribes but their well being they're not immune to outside diseases which means any outsiders can pose a significant risk the indian navy patrols the area to ensure no one flouts the rules but people do anyway Indian authorities do not prosecute the Sentinelese people for murder but they also don't want to give him any reason to carry it out either an American adventurer by the name of John Chow paid fishermen to tow his kayak to the island so that he could bring Christianity to the remote group he brought with him food and a football but was taken down with bows and arrows after speaking to the tribes people seven fishermen were arrested for helping the 26 year old missionary reach the island number 13 North border island USA between Rikers Island Manhattan and queens in the United States sits an island with a sad and spooky past it's not open to the public but that doesn't stop urban explorers and thrill-seekers from making their way there anyway the north border island could have been an island paradise but it's not and likely never will be it was once where patients with diseases went to be quarantined and where they spent their sad existence peering longingly out the windows toward the city they had to leave the island had a morgue for taking care of those who never recovered as well as a lab for the analysis of phlegm if those early days were not enough to convince you of this Isle sadness then the considerable loss of life will be in 1904 over 1,000 people died when a charter boat caught fire off the island only the 9/11 attacks have eclipsed that number in recent years when medication advancements no longer saw the need for such extreme isolation protocols the island was turned into housing for returning soldiers it then became a treatment center for young drug addicts the costs outweighed the benefits and it's now an overgrown parkland controlled by the parks department ideas have been thrown around to use it as a dump or a jail but for now it sits empty and abandoned with no concrete plans for its future number 12 no sea bass USA if you're an x-files fan and want to believe then we've got a story and a half for you find it out all there is to know about Dulce base in the United States will lead you down a rabbit warren from which you may not be able to escape it all started in 1979 when a businessman from Albuquerque Paul bennewitz said he was intercepting electronic messages from UFOs outside of Albuquerque he then said he had found a secret underground base near dulce in New Mexico which housed gray aliens and humans the story spread like wildfire mainly through the UFO community and UF ologist John Lear said he had received validation about the existence of the base subsequently a story ran in a tabloid under the headline UFO base found in New Mexico which opened a whole new can of worms apparently the secret underground base which is not accessible due to its mountain location in northern New Mexico is used for human and alien experiments the story also used quotes from UF ologists Leonard Stringfield who was blown away by the distortion of facts the rumors about an underground base may not be without truth however there were plenty of underground missile installations during the Cold War so a base might exist but possibly not without aliens you might be convinced now that this supposed base is prohibited because it houses secrets of war but then Philip Snyder comes to the party Philip said he was a geological engineer that worked with the government on deep underground military bases he said a technical problem and he had to go in and fix something only to come across gray aliens Phillips said there was a battle and he was one of only three men from a group of 60 to come out alive he then spent the rest of his life sharing his story to get the truth out there Phillip also said that if he were ever to lose his life supposedly by his own hand that it would most likely be murder he was found with a catheter wrapped around his neck in 1996 so it's up to you to form your own opinion number 11 doomsday vaults in Norway I'm here about a Doomsday vault hidden in some faraway secluded mountainside you might think it houses some pretty cool stuff there might be weapons oil fuel maybe some food supplies but what about seeds not as cool but pretty important all the same there's a hidden vault in the mountainside between the North Pole and Norway sitting peacefully above the Arctic Circle within it are millions upon millions of seeds from countries all over the world in fact this vault known as the global seed vault in Spitsbergen has 9300 seed types for various food crops while zombie apocalypses might be one reason why you would need to keep nearly 1 million food types the real reason is a little more realistic they're there to protect against gene destruction and the loss of genetic material for various food crops the vault is home to 13,000 years of history and no one is allowed to visit it the steel door juts out from the mountainside in a neutral part of the world far from political challenges and war its location was chosen for this very reason all countries can send their seats to this location without fear of them being destroyed by other countries or groups that don't like your country or what it stands for in essence this vault is future proofing the loss of vital crops and we would say this is a pretty good reason why it's forbidden for people to visit number 10 snake island in Brazil snakes on a plane are pretty scary but imagine an entire island of them that's why illa de Kumada grande aptly nicknamed snake island is off-limits to everyone it's overrun with them up to 4000 snakes are thought to call this island home twenty-four miles from Brazil's coast but they are just any snakes they are deadly golden lance-heads a type of pit viper considered one of the most dangerous in the world they grow to nearly two feet long and their bite can see a human lose their life within an hour people used to avoid the island anyway but when a fisherman was found lifeless and covered in blood in his boat Brazil decided to act they made it illegal for anyone to set foot on the island and the Navy visits to maintain the lighthouse and make sure explorers don't venture too close believe it or not people dead once lived there the lighthouse was manned by a family but they were thought to have met a terrible end when the snake slithered through their windows it won't have too much of a problem keeping adventure-seekers away from this forbidden place that's for sure number 9 China's tomb of Qin Shihuang both the Chinese government and science are holding people back from exploring and learning more about the tomb of Qin Shi Wang under a hill in central China Qin Shi Wang was the first emperor of China and died in 210 BC he was responsible for the first unified nation of China and conquering six States to make it so he is buried inside a tomb under a hill and no one knows what lies within it the Chinese government doesn't provide access an archaeologists won't excavate it out of respect and a lack of the right tools to do so what lies within the tomb could shed some light on what has been discovered around it farmers digging a well near Xi'an in 1974 found a life-sized terracotta soldier which turned out to be one of thousands each clay soldier had clothing hair and facial features since excavations surrounding the tomb began 40 years ago archaeologists have found around 2,000 soldiers they believe there could be more than 8,000 in total number a Niihau island USA it doesn't get much more apparent that you can't visit somewhere then when its name is forbidden island 17 miles from Kauai Hawaii is a privately owned island that has been called the Forbidden Island for as long as an one can remember it's a family-owned preservation project and one with owners that worked tirelessly to preserve the cultural history and natural environment of the island a wealthy Scottish widow purchased the island in 1864 from the Hawaiian monarch King Kamehameha the fourth for ranching since then it has been unchanged the family has always worked hard to keep it as it has always been allowing the Niihau uns to work the land and live a traditional lifestyle they work equally as hard to keep away outside threats such as the Hawaiian government governors in the past have tried to evict the owners and turn the island into a state park but the owners remain dedicated to maintaining Niihau and traditions for the good of the people and the natural environment number seven Lascaux cave France in 1940 a young boy called Marcel rava dot from montón yak discovered a small cavity on Lascaux Hill in France he returned with three of his friends to explore the hill and find out what was hidden within they made the cavity in the hill larger and slipped into the cave with a lamp so that they could see in the cave they found prehistoric paintings that dated back to the cro-magnon man the caves were an instant attraction and people came from all over to see the paintings however they were then closed and forbidden for people to enter due to damage much of the damage was caused by the carbon dioxide in human breath as well as algae and fungi the fungi has spread throughout the cave and efforts are ongoing to retain the paintings even though the cave is forbidden you can enter a replica of it within 200 yards of the actual cave number six heard island Australia while not strictly forbidden for people to visit her Thailand is so challenging to access that there's little desire for people to do so anyway her Thailand is a remote island around 2,500 miles southwest of Perth in the southern Indian Ocean it's around 230 square miles and consists of a glacier covered active volcano known as Big Ben Big Ben has erupted several times and the island is one of the most remote in the world this windy Island is perfect for seals seabirds and penguins but not so great for people to inhabit because of its World Heritage listing it's protected and requires a permit from the Australian Antarctic division to visit number five Poveglia Italy there are many beautiful places to visit in Italy if you're looking for a European holiday but Poveglia isn't one of them it's that undesirable as a vacation destination that the Italian Tourism Board prohibits in approval through a lengthy application process is the only way you will ever set foot on the island so why is it forbidden Poveglia is a secluded Island or landmass situated between Lido and Venice when the bubonic plague had the whole of Europe in its grasp the Romans moved the sick and ailing to the island to protect the healthy people on the main island when they passed on they were buried in mass graves there are thought to be over 100,000 people cremated and buried on the island of Poveglia even after the world began its post plague recovery Poveglia was thriving a mental hospital was built there in the 1920s and people with both physical and mental illnesses were sent there it was also home to a doctor who would carry out awful experiments supposedly he fell off the bell tower or was pushed and lost his life surrounded by an unusual mist the mist is thought to be one of many signs that Poveglia is haunted Ghost Adventures visited the island to film a documentary and noted many strange and spooky abnormalities even Italians know better than to visit this island so it's best that tourists do as well number four Wedekind Secret Archives the Vatican secret archives are very misunderstood we've been told to believe that the Pope is hiding secret evidence of aliens demons and more within the deep dark depths of the catacombs the reality is a little less interesting that doesn't make what is in the archives any less protected what exists within the archives is more or less documents letters and communications between four centuries of popes and other people correspondence up until 1881 all records within the archives were kept a secret it wasn't that they were juicy gossip but the 17th century was a time when exchanges between and Kings were not something the general public needed to be privy to however in 1881 all that changed Pope Leo the 8th decided that it would be okay for researchers to see some of those documents given that there are around 50 miles of shelving and records back to the 8th century those researchers are unlikely to view them all what's more there are many rules surrounding entry into the Vatican Secret Archives you must be a scholar and no student amateur historian or journalist is given access you must also have credentials that are valid for six months and you must request specific documents and up to three per day if the materials you're looking for don't happen to be within the section you ask for them tough luck you're walked into the archives with swiss guards while computers are allowed you must type out everything you need then and there as photos are not allowed it's a lot of hard work to see what lies in the famous archives so very few have ever been given the privilege number 3 mesh beauty in Russia around the world there are islands and past tourist attractions that you can no longer visit but what about entire towns Mezger date is a closed town in Russia's Republic of Bashkortostan it's 120 miles southeast of the Republic's capital oofah and near mount Yemen Tao in the southern Ural Mountains the town which used to be known as UFO 105 and Balor x16 was founded in 1979 and gained its status and new name as a town in 1995 no one knows for sure what goes on in this mysterious town however some sources say the city is a construction project that began in the 70s when the United States directed their nuclear fire power at the communist party's leadership complex the Soviets sent thousands of workers to sites as remote as this one and u.s. satellites saw workers there right up until the late 1990s rumor has it that the town is or was a repository for food Russian treasures and as a nuclear bunker for Russian military officials but given the town is closed and subordinated to the Russian federal government we may never know for sure number 2 the queen of England's bedroom Buckingham Palace is a tourist attraction it's open to the public for tours and anyone can get their fix of royalty however in the Queen's bedroom and private quarters have always been forbidden so the Queen was not amused when she awoke in early July 1982 to find a man sitting on her bed he was dressed in a dirty t-shirt jeans and was holding a broken ashtray dripping with blood when the Queen awoke she asked the palace switchboard operator on the phone to call the police the police never responded she then pressed a button to summon the chambermaid but no one responded to that call either she also called the switchboard a second time but had no luck in the meantime the Queen talked to the man who was 31 year old Michael Fagan he had planned to commit suicide in her bedroom but decided not to go through with it the Queen spoke with him about family matters but it was clearly an uncomfortable situation 10 minutes after she awoke to the man in her room a chambermaid entered then ran and got the foot man who seized the man the police arrived 12 minutes after the Queen's initial call Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher apologized for the lapse in security and security measures were strengthened as a result fortunately nothing as Extreme as this has happened since number one mount weather Emergency Operations Center USA the government has gotten reasonably good over the years at keeping important information to themselves often it's in the interest of public safety but that doesn't mean there aren't things we're all desperate to know mount weather Emergency Operations Center is one of them no one knows exactly where the operation center is only that it's around 48 miles from Washington DC in the Blue Ridge Mountains it consists of a six hundred thousand square foot underground facility and a FEMA complex above ground the center was built during the Cold War in the case of a national disaster it was to be a relocation site for high-level officials and has been used by Dick Cheney on September 11th and robert f kennedy's top aide during the Cuban Missile Crisis but it's not just any ordinary bunker it has a police and fire department sleeping quarters for 2,000 people a security system mainframe computers and a TV and radio studio the center is accessible via Virginia State Route 601 but you won't be able to get close to too heavy security this potential center of salvation is rickly for the elite in a crisis and there's no chance of seeking shelter there unless you're a government official or right-hand man it's natural for us to want to explore something we're not allowed to see so which is the place you're most tempted by do you think you can ever go to one of these places also check out our other cool stuff showing up on screen right now see you next time
