Mysteries and strangest secrets from ancient times through today Freemasonry brings together people of diverse background number 20 Metro 2 you may have heard about the British Shadow cabinet but have you heard of a Russian Shadow Subway rumors have swirled for almost a century about Metro 2 a secret subway running parallel to the Moscow Metro code named D6 by the KGB this clandestine network was allegedly built during the rule of Joseph Stalin it lacks public entrances but could be used as a shelter in the event of an aerial assault on Moscow in times of Crisis while panicked civilians crowd onto the public Metro government officials could easily escape the city using the trains in Metro 2 which are supposedly battery pack powered despite widespread speculation the Russian government has never acknowledged the system's existence nor officially released any details of its function number 19 the Lost recipe for Greek Fire centuries before Oppenheimer created a super weapon by splitting the atom the Byzantine Empire ruled the Mediterranean with a super weapon of their own a mysterious substance that when ignited Burns bright and hot known as Greek fire this formidable tool has somehow eluded a concrete definition with some simply referring to it as liquid fire that could never be extinguished by water the recipe for this weapon was held as a closely guarded secret and with it the Byzantium resisted Muslim conquests for centuries streams of flame shoot out from Byzantine vessels lighting the water on fire and incinerating the Arab ships unfortunately the danger of tightly held Secrets is that they can easily be forgotten by The Fourth Crusade the Eastern Roman Empire lost the recipe and with was ultimately annihilated in the subsequent centuries though historians and chemists have tried to recreate the recipe they have never been successful there is certainly speculation as to the different recipes for Greek fire but it would be very difficult to say what the classic Greek Fire actually is number 18 Tesla's missing papers it's just amazing from a history standpoint Tesla helped create the foundation of our electrical grid history Buffs may know about the Rivalry between Nicola Tesla and Thomas Edison in the nent days of electrical power but did you know that after his death in 1943 some of Tesla's research mysteriously disappeared Tesla was allegedly working on particle beam weapons that if successful could have altered the outcome of World War II the day after his death his nephew the Yugoslavian ambassador to the US discovered that his notebook and many crucial documents were missing as the FBI didn't trust Tesla's nephew with his sensitive research they later confiscated all of the scientists items the US government sat on Tesla's entire estate for 10 years although some of Tesla's work was returned to his family years later a significant portion of it has never been found number 17 Oliver cromwell's head of all the bizarre and bloody ways in which English rulers have met their Destiny the strangest concerns the only British sovereign who was not a monarch Oliver Cromwell was a leading parliamentarian during the British Civil Wars of the 17th century seizing control of the nation through a military coup Cromwell ruled as Lord protector for 5 years before dying of natural causes shortly after his death the monarchy regained Authority King Charles II then ordered the exhumation of cromwell's body so he could be poly executed cromwell's head was removed afterwards and put on display in London for at least two decades over the next three centuries it passed between private collectors of creepy historical objects occasionally giving rise to fake replicas the authorities were certainly aware that um people's heads traitor heads could become objects of veneration in fact Cromwell himself had authorized Charles the's head to be rewn and reattached to his body the final owner decided to secretly bury the head on the campus of Sydney Sussex College which Cromwell attended its exact location there remains unknown number 16 Copper Scroll treasure when Scholars Finally Revealed a content of the Copper Scroll in June 1956 it caused excitement around the globe in the 1940s and ' 50s archaeologists found a treasure Trove of ancient Jewish manuscripts in The Kuman caves of the West Bank collectively they became known as the Dead Sea Scrolls one of these manuscripts was different from the others inscribed on copper plates instead of parchment and Papyrus this unique document referred to as the Copper Scroll not only differed in its material but also in its content it's an ancient Treasure Map listing 64 locations of buried jewels and gold written out in 12 columns it's a verbal treasure map 12 columns over 60 plus locations unfortunately the map is outdated by about 2,000 years treasure hunters and archaeologists have tried to find the modern locations of these ancient sites to this day no treasure has ever been discovered number 15 letters of Last Resort this is the stuff that spy movies are made of belonging to the United Kingdom the letters of Last Resort are exclusively written by the newly appointed prime minister four different letters are penned which are then given to four submarines equipped with destructive Trident missiles within the letters are instructions telling the commanding officers what to do in the event of a nuclear strike on Britain no one but the Prime Minister knows the exact contents of the letters as they're kept sealed until nuclear war breaks out in the event that nuclear war doesn't break out which thankfully it hasn't the letters are destroyed upon the inauguration of a new PM number 14 Taj Mahal Oro Mahalia in 1989 historian PN Oak stirred controversy with his book Taj Mahal the true story in it Oak opposed the majority of historians and scientists who believe the structure was built in the 17th century instead contending that it was actually constructed in 1155 also contrary to its designation as a tomb Oak claimed that the building was originally a h hind Temple according to him Shiva worshippers had constructed it and called it t Mahalia Oak even filed a petition demanding that the tajmahal be declared a Hindu Monument but it was dismissed by India Supreme Court in 2000 in recent years with the rise of online conspiracies the theory has become a rallying cry for Hindu nationalists organizations are now claiming that once you open the doors you will see you will find a Lord Shiva temple in fact most of the people have gone ahead and said that what you see behind me is not Taj Mahal has always been Mahala number 13 the Coca-Cola recipe Coca-Cola has been around since 1886 and try as desperately as they might no one has been able to replicate its distinct taste that's how you know you have a good beverage on your hands the people who handle the concentrate are as in the dark about the secret formula as anyone I've been working 11 years now I don't know what's in the formula all my job is to load it up extend it to the line and that run it inventor John S pton kept his recipe a secret and even refused to write it down for fear of people copying his success it was finally jotted down when Ernest Woodruff purchased the company in 1919 the first recipe called for cocaine but over time the narcotic ingredient was removed but not the secrecy the physical recipe then made the rounds between New York's guaranteed bank Atlanta's Trust Company bank and finally the World of Coca-Cola which is where it resides today it is currently housed in the so-called vault of the secret formula and it remains a very closely guarded trade secret at least once a year somebody show up say I have the original formula for Coca-Cola how much were you pay me for it well we don't need to pay him anything for it cuz we have the only real one number 12 the world's greatest card trick David burglass was a mentalist and magician who gained notoriety in the 1950s particularly for his iconic trick known as the burglass effect this particular cut effect is a version of a classic plot in Magic called any cut at any number for this deceptively simple feat burglass would produce a seemingly ordinary deck and ask a spectator to name any playing card another person would then pick a random number from 1 to 52 by the time the cards were dealt One By One The specified card would be found at the specified position it's a trick that stumped and astounded other magicians for years which made him a legend amongst magicians and a career that spent over six decades however burglass maintained that it was unteachable and he took the secret to his grave in 2023 this covert technique is now widely considered the Holy Grail of card magic number 11 the origins of HIV AIDS sunus has feared this unknown unnamed disease so much they wouldn't even go near someone with AIDS the fear was pervasive while HIV is largely linked to the 1980s it remains a global public health issue in 2020 alone it was estimated that nearly 40 million people were living with the disease 1 % live in subsaharan Africa but anti-retroviral drugs offer hope new infections are down by over a third mother-to child transmission has more than hared and globally there's been a 35% decrease in deaths but regardless of its prevalence and very public history there is still a lot about the retrovirus we don't know even those of us who are in it from day one were shocked by the uh enormity of the problem for example humanity is still mostly unsure of where it came from the leading theory is that African hunters in the early 20th century killed and ate chimpanzees infected with SIV the S standing for Simeon which then mutated into HIV in the human body however this information is typically populated with words like probably and likely indicating that the origins of HIV are not definitively known even to this day number 10 the Farmers Almanac formula wow this listen to this we are in for a brutal winner that's according to the Farmers Almanac Farmers Almanac has been annually published since 1818 so it's obviously doing something right the almanac makes long-term weather predictions in North America and various scientific Studies have proven a roughly 50% rate of accuracy so basically take this with a grain of salt not bad considering the predictions come up to 2 years in advance and it seems like the local weather station doesn't even know if it'll rain tomorrow and according to the website they use an exclusive mathematical and astronomical formula that relies on sunspot activity title action planetary position and many other factors weirdly almost nothing is known about the making of the almanac the forecaster is kept secret and the almanac itself has never revealed how it makes its predictions the formula is reportedly kept inside an impenetrable box and the world is left wondering just how the heck these Gods can so accurately predict the weather oh kind of like the Coca-Cola recipe number nine the Rowan Oak Colony the first English attempt to colonize the new world took place on the island of Rowan o in 1585 it failed due to a lack of food and clashes with indigenous peoples 2 years later John White made another effort establishing a larger settlement white left his settlers there hoping to come back with supplies the following year but his return was delayed until 1590 but Governor white doesn't return to his family he returns to a mystery upon arriving on the supply ship white found the settlement completely deserted the only clue as to the whereabouts of his people was a strange carving on a post that read croat toan over a hundred men women and children had disappeared Without a Trace there's no evidence that there was any kind of battle there's no evidence of bones or bodies that might indicate an altercation between the colonists and the indigenous people while theories of their fate abound none has ever been proven number eight Bohemian Grove Bohemian Grove is a compound sitting on a massive 2700 acre slice of California Redwood country it's a gentleman's club of sorts catering to the conservative Elites of American society its membership includes almost every Republican president since Calvin kulage other politicians as well as some of the wealthiest Business Leaders in modern history for over 150 years Elites have flocked to Bohemian Grove on semi- Retreats which typically take place in mid July every year for about 2 weeks few know what they do there though rumors of their bakanal esque revelries abound what we do know is that there is a reasonable likelihood that many of the world's historical events may have been shaped within the confines of the Bohemian Grove number seven the Hanging Gardens of Babylon a garden known throughout the world for its beauty a name now synonymous with the Disappeared Riches of an ancient Kingdom today all but one of the seven wonders of the ancient world have been lost to time among those that no longer exist one has continued to spark controversy historians and archaeologists have long endeavored to find proof that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon actually existed a number of contemporary accounts described a massive collection of lush plants in the center of the city it appeared they said as if there were a Green Mountain in the center of sarb's Palace no physical evidence has ever been found whether swallowed by the Euphrates or a myth meant to spread Babylon Ian Glory we do have some quite good ground sensing um equipment that might just help but people will rob Stones away and put them in their houses so anything that was stoned there has been robbed long ago the truth of the Hanging Gardens is still a mystery number six The Man in the Iron Mask I'm sorry you've never seen me before I was shock you the story of The Man in the Iron Mask has been a staple of French culture since Duma published his novel in 1950 while he theorized that the mysterious prisoner was in fact the identical twin of Louis the 14th the truth remains a mystery what we do know is that at the turn of the 17th century there was a masked political prisoner contrary to fiction his mask wasn't iron but rather made of black velvet rumors swirled about his identity volt believed that he was a secret Royal relative held captive to keep Lou Crown safe others claimed that he was the son of Oliver Cromwell whomever he was the mass fr French prisoners true identity is likely to remain a secret forever I waited 6 years to ask this question why was this done to me number five genas Khan's tomb living in the mid 12th century to the early 13th genghiskhan is the infamous instigator of the Mongol Empire which was the largest connective Empire in history he rose from abject poverty to rule most of the known world it is claimed that one in every 200 men alive today is descended from him after taking over much of the Known World Khan died under unknown circumstances and was returned to his home country of Mongolia Legend has it that the funeral procession killed anyone who witnessed it in order to keep his final resting place a secret if that's true it certainly worked because no one today has any idea of where genghiskhan is B buried the Mongolian belief is that if you disturb the Tomb of jasan the reason why that area was so forbidden is because if you Disturb This tomb that you might cause this curse that'll end the world right modern scholars believe his tomb is somewhere around the Buran khun Mountain but research in the area is difficult owing to restrictions imposed by the Mongolian government finding the two of genas car would be the greatest archaeological discoveries of Our Generation the potential for riches in genis Khan's tomb are EX extraordinary you think of it it's the world's largest land Empire the riches that must have been plundered and the riches that might be inside this tomb B the Mind Number Four The Lost Years of Jesus Christ many scholars and historians agree that Jesus Christ was a real person and that he was born sometime around 4 BC however a large chunk of his historical life remains unaccounted for as no one knows what he was doing between the ages of 12 and 29 during all this time there is but one story in the Gospels it describes Jesus as a precocious 12-year-old discussing the Hebrew Bible with rabbis in Jerusalem these are referred to by a variety of names including his silent years of course there are many theories some believe he was in Britain others India there are said to be records originally written in India in the ancient P language and later translated into Tibetan dealing with the life of an extraordinary Saint known to the Buddhists as Issa the life story of St Issa closely resembles the life of Jesus Christ but the leading theory is that he was in Galilee a region of both Israel and Lebanon working as a carpenter under the tutelage of his father Joseph once in the New Testament in the gospel of Mark Jesus critics and his hometown ask is not this the Carpenter and then in the parallel text in Matthew they ask is not this the car Carpenter's son following Jesus's unknown excursions he was baptized in Almas around 28 ad and it is here that his world changing Ministry began number three the USA's missile submarines there's something about submarines in secrecy the United States owns various missile submarines that are Guided by nuclear power including the USS Ohio Michigan Florida and Georgia still very secret well guarded it's dark and it's massive it's as long as the Washington Monument is high nearly the length of two football fields the sail as it's called stretches High into the air these are known as ssgn the missiles on board these Subs have the potential to cause great destruction but their whereabouts and activities are generally unknown unlike a a surface ship that someone can see or a satellite then where they cover they they um they don't know where here however they literally surface from time to time time for example Michigan appeared in South Korea in 2017 and Florida took part in operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya during the Cold War the USS Florida prowled the oceans equipped with Trident nuclear missiles ready to carry out an attack at a moment's notice on June 28th 2010 a rare event occurred which saw three of four surfacing at once in response to Chinese missile tests these four Subs have been ssgn since the 2000s but most of their actions and locations have remained a secret we won't go any further but you're literally standing 10 to 20 ft from an operational nuclear reactor right now number two Freemasons many of the founding fathers especially the influential ones people like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin who are Freemasons for 300 years conspiracy theories have swirled around the Freemasons officially founded in 1717 many believe to this day that the not so Secret secret society has been operating behind the scenes for centuries the truth is likely far less Sinister publicly they advertise themselves as a group of civic-minded men looking to propagate charity kindness and stability throughout the world Freemasonry brings together people of diverse backgrounds freedom from ignorance freedom from Superstition freedom from intolerance freedom from extremism women are not allowed and members must have some kind of belief in a Supreme Being they are famous for

that's not entirely accurate when it comes to highly classified areas it doesn't get more famous than Area 51 found in the Nevada desert Area 51 is a top secret military facility with ties to Cutting Edge technology the military base 80 m from Las Vegas has become infamous for conspiracy theories about little green men they certainly appear to still be covering up what exactly goes on at Area 51 the place is so secretive that it wasn't officially unveiled by the CIA until 2013 even though it was very obvious that something was in the desert Area 51 is officially known as a military training facility and supposedly a testing ground for both experimental aircraft and high-tech Weaponry the area 51 designation is said to come from atomic energy commission designation maps in the 1930s it was a wildlife reservation under the department of the Interior but the war department then took it over in 1942 during World War II owing to its secretive nature both trespassing and flying over the site are grossly prohibited and dangerously enforced naturally this has given rise to a swath of conspiracy theories are aliens inside Area 51 perhaps will'll never no but because of all this secrecy many made up their own minds a long time ago about Area 51 and that's why it may never lose its extraterrestrial excitement are you a super sleuth with knowledge of some of the world's greatest Untold
