Most Mysterious Places Scientists Still Can't Explain

You may think that today with all of the  information we have nothing would be mysterious   after all we have books and websites detailing  everywhere on earth and using something like   google earth we can visit these places at any  time but there are many places in this world which   remain a total mystery to this day from a forest  in california where the world's elites meet up   every single year to a top secret underground  metro system in russia poor bajin russia   poor bajan is located in siberia russia the  fortress-like structure is located on an island   in the middle of a lake and it's thought to be  over 1 300 years old experts say that it could   have been a fortress a summer palace a monastery  or even a space observatory but historians and   archaeologists are still very divided over  this place the island's square walls were   once impenetrable but whatever this island is  no one knows who built it or why it was likely   constructed in 757 a.d and it was first explored  by more modern people in 1891 but it wasn't until   2007 that proper research on the site actually  took place one expert called poor bhajan the most   mysterious archaeological monument in the world in  tuvan language poor bajan translates as clay house   that's because much of this fortress was made of  clay the building had construction characteristics   of chinese architecture from the tang dynasty  another thing that baffled experts is the lack   of heating systems after all poor bajan is 2 300  meters above sea level and it has to endure harsh   siberian weather it's also not known how these  buildings have survived for so long they were   likely abandoned in the 9th century but soon after  that there was a gigantic earthquake which led to   fires and collapses of nearby walls it also  destroyed the northwestern corner bastion but   the buildings are still intact even the russian  president vladimir putin is baffled by this place   he said quote i have been to many places i have  seen many things but i've never seen anything   of this kind i guess for now this island will  remain a total mystery bohemian grove california   since the early 1900s there have been many  rumors about bohemian grove the people who   lived near this forest in california had heard  many secret rumors there was speculation for   years that the world's elites would meet in  this forest and plan how to shape the world   now that seems pretty crazy and made up and  that's what lots of people thought but in 1942   rumors about bohemian grove were confirmed that's  because it was mentioned in secret paperwork for   the manhattan project this was a secret u.s  government project to develop the atomic bomb   it turned out that the world's most powerful men  had been meeting at bohemian grove since 1873.   they have top secret meetings in this forest  there's also lots of rituals and symbolism   no women are allowed and there's a ceremony they  carry out known as the cremation of care this   is where a massive moloch owl is burned in 2001  journalist jon ronson snuck into bohemian grove   there he caught on tape these bizarre rituals  many super powerful people have been members or   still are members of bohemian grove this includes  president nixon president reagan both george bush   senior and junior henry kissinger donald rumsfeld  bill clinton warren buffett tony blair and it's   a big new brzezinski the forest is gated and no  one's allowed in nowadays more people know about   this place than ever and that's why in recent  years they've ramped up their security a lot but   i'd still love to try and sneak in here one day  and find out what else goes on many say that lots   of government policies are set here and others say  that big business and governments conspire here   metro 2 russia there's lots of mysteries all  around us but the best place to keep something   secret is underground where no one can even see  it that's the case for this underground metro   station in russia metro 2 parallels the public  moscow metro it was built back in the ussr by   joseph stalin and it was code named d6 by the kgb  secret police to this day it's still operated by   the russian ministry of defense it said that the  length of metro 2 is much more than the public   metro and it's said to connect the kremlin  with other locations of national importance   this includes landmarks and military bases  to this day the moscow metro administration   refused to confirm or deny its existence vladimir  putin is famous for getting around without anyone   seeing him so it's likely that he actually uses  metro 2. metro 2 also connects to vanukovo too   which is the government airport in 1994 the  leader of an urban exploration group found the   entrance to this underground system images from  metro 2 are scarce but they're all very creepy   others say that this train station can go  to a nuclear bunker in case of a nuclear war   after all vladimir putin is famous for having  high security lake michigan triangle usa   everyone's heard of the bermuda triangle it's  an area in the sea where planes and boats go   missing and no one knows why but there's an even  more mysterious triangle in the usa known as the   lake michigan triangle it goes from wisconsin  to michigan to benton harbour in 1921 11 people   inside the rosabelle ship disappeared the ship  was overturned and damaged in a collision but no   other ship was on the water at the time and no  other wreckage was found in 1937 captain donna   vanished from his cabin in 1950 northwest airlines  flight 2501 crashed into lake michigan it was   carrying 58 people but the plane was never found  there's also what's been nicknamed north america's   stonehenge found inside lake michigan this is a  40-foot ring of rocks resting underneath the lake   so this lake is full of mysteries and is very  dangerous for planes and boats to this day no   one can explain all of these mysteries and unlike  the bermuda triangle no one's even got a theory   teotahuacan mexico teotahuacan is a mesoamerican  city it's located in the valley of mexico in   the state of mexico it was massive one of the  first great cities of the western hemisphere   but the origins are a total mystery to this day  it was built by hand more than a thousand years   before the arrival of the aztecs it has massive  roads but no military structures no one knows who   could have built this city the purpose of many  artifacts found here is also completely unknown   it's pretty crazy that we have this ancient  gigantic city and no one knows who made it   but maybe one day we will find the truth pine gap  australia everyone knows the american military   site area 51 it's used for testing military  aircraft and there's also rumors of alien life   at the base but many have not heard of australia's  equivalent which is called pine gap it's run by   the australian government and the american cia  it's a no-fly zone and it's a monitoring station   but no one knows exactly what they're monitoring  the place has over 800 employees but no one knows   what they do but here's where things get crazy  the moon landings broadcast was sent to pine gap   before it was broadcast on american tvs there  was an entire two minutes of that broadcast which   was censored by pine gab no one knows why they  censored a part of the moon landing tapes and   this has led many people to believe that the moon  landing was faked but really we have no idea what   do you think they could possibly be monitoring at  pine gap and why is the american cia in australia   poveglia island italy poveglia island is one of  the many islands in the lagoons of venice most   of these islands are totally beautiful and people  love going on vacation to them but peveglia island   is strictly off limits to tourists or anyone else  that's because it's said to be one of the most   haunted places on the planet if you don't believe  in ghosts and you're laughing right now then stay   with me the island was used as a place to isolate  plague victims later on it was used as a mental   asylum but in the asylum inhumane experiments were  carried out on patients two people have tried to   buy the island but they've either seen ghosts on  it or they've passed away themselves on the island   fishermen even steer clear of this island that's  because they fear they'll catch bones in their   nets raf min with hill england similar to pine  gap raf men with hill is the uk's area 51.   it's a royal air force station located in north  yorkshire officially it provides communications   and intelligence support to services in the uk  and usa but in reality it's the largest electronic   monitoring station in the world it intercepts  cools from all over the world including in the uk   and usa so no matter what country you live in if  you send a text or make a call these guys will   probably hear it easter island chile easter island  is an island located off the coast of chile it was   inhabited by the rappanui people but the mystery  is the gigantic head statues on this island   they're around 13 feet tall and weigh 14 tons back  in the day they had no modern technology to build   or move these around but experts say they were  likely chiseled from volcanic stone no one knows   how they were made or how they were moved they're  all perfectly lined up so they've obviously been   moved into place but no one knows why or how  these were built the bermuda triangle it's one   of the scariest and most mysterious places in the  world it stretches from bermuda to miami florida   all the way down to puerto rico it's nicknamed the  devil's triangle and it's also famous for a large   number of aircrafts and ships vanishing for more  than 100 years we've tried to work out exactly why   this is happening but it remains a mystery to this  day the bermuda triangle is known as a vile vortex   but it is far from the only vile vortex in the  world a vile vortex is a place where there's a   wrinkle in time space gravitational or magnetic  aberrations they're also highly associated with   vehicles and humans vanishing into thin air  the nevada triangle northwest of the bermuda   triangle is arguably a much scarier triangle the  region stretches from fresno california up to   reno nevada and all the way out west to arizona  but what makes the nevada triangle so scary   well in the last 60 years hundreds of planes  which venture into it never return i don't mean   the wreckage is later found somewhere i mean it  literally vanishes from thin air never to be seen   again inside the triangle is las vegas yosemite  national park and even area 51. there's also   the death valley desert the most famous incident  inside the triangle was that of billionaire steve   fossett he was a very experienced pilot one day  he set off in his plane but as he flew over the   california nevada border it went off radar to this  day the billionaire and his plane have never been   seen again this is something which has happened to  hundreds of planes over the years but the question   remains what's causing all of these planes to  vanish into thin air some say this could be to   do with the secret government base area 51. maybe  these planes see something they're not supposed to   and have to be taken down or maybe they fly into  restricted airspace and are shot down others say   that aliens could be involved after all there  are many rumors of aliens being seen in the   nevada desert for example with the roswell  incident where a ufo crashed into the ground   one expert said potentially these planes could  be crashing into mountains he said maybe people   simply misjudge the air pressure but if that's  the case wouldn't we find the wreckage to this   day the nevada triangle is a total mystery and  we don't know what causes these planes to vanish   the algerian megaliths the algerian  megaliths are actually a burial ground   it was made by the ancient zing empire this is  one of the oldest civilizations on the planet   there's no way a civilization so ancient could  have made things so advanced back then there was   no technology to build stable constructions like  these the megaliths are located in algeria in the   middle of the sahara desert which spans over many  countries but the area also makes up a vile vortex   many airplanes which fly over this part  of the sahara desert are never seen again   if you go to this place and try and take a photo  with your phone it may not work that's because   electronics normally glitch out in this area and  if you take a compass with you to find your way   it will simply spin like crazy also many brave  travelers who have ventured here say that the   whole place has a dark aura to it it's almost like  you can feel something isn't quite right there   the dragons triangle the dragons triangle is  also known as the devil's sea in the area it's   nicknamed the pacific bermuda triangle that's  because it's pretty much the same phenomena   only in the pacific ocean the region starts on the  island of guam it then goes all the way up to the   northern philippines and then up to yamatai island  under the sea here there is an underwater city   this is nicknamed japan's atlantis it was likely  created by a very ancient civilization but no one   knows how they made such advanced architecture  all the way back then deep under the sea are   stone monoliths but they're cut at perfect 90  degree angles this is something we could only do   with modern technology nothing they had hundreds  of years ago to make things even more scary many   planes and ships have vanished in this area and  the japanese government advises any pilots and   captains not to go anywhere near this triangle  some have thought about venturing down there to   check it out in more detail but it's simply too  dangerous so no one wants to or is allowed to   the south atlantic anomaly when you think of  radiated places you may think of nuclear power   plants or maybe places where nuclear meltdowns  have occurred for example chernobyl but really   what you should think of is the south atlantic  anomaly the south atlantic anomaly is a region of   earth where radiation is out of control amazingly  all of this radiation is totally natural but we   don't know where it comes from astronauts who look  at this area from space experience hallucinations   and satellites are not able to capture photos  of this area some have said this is because   governments are hiding secrets in this area  and other safety radiation could be because   this is like a portal people believe that if you  go into it it's like a portal to another dimension   but others have pointed out that it's more  likely to do with the earth's magnetic field   this region is a place where the earth's magnetic  field is weakest and this could be what's causing   the bizarre amount of natural radiation and the  anomaly wharton basin you can find this vile   vortex of the western coast of australia it's one  of the most mysterious places in the indian ocean   many earthquakes happen here despite there  being no tectonic plates which is what causes   earthquakes also there have been many cases  of airplanes and ships vanishing in this area   and that's why many planes actually go around it  when flying from other countries into australia   mohenyo darum this place located in pakistan is  yet another architectural mystery it was built   in 2500 bc by the indus valley civilization it's  not known how they made so many advanced things   all those years ago and to make things even more  creepy no one knows why this town became deserted   because of the remains they found it looks  like everyone passed on in this civilization   all at once some believe that they were invaded  by a different civilization and others say that   perhaps a tornado or hurricane took out everyone  in the area but we don't know and because it was   so long ago we likely never will hammakulia  volcano this one can be found in hawaii in   an area which is known as the ring of fire now a  volcano is scary enough but scientists have found   strange electrical energy in this area almost  like something electric is coming from inside   the volcano planes that fly over this sometimes  vanish from the radar and are never seen again   easter island easter island is located  in polynesia it was home to the ancient   civilization of the rappanui people but the  biggest mystery has to be the easter island heads   these are called moai statues and there's almost  900 of them on the island they look like modern   works of art made with modern tools but these  are far from modern in fact they were made in   the year 1250. no one knows how they were made  let alone how they were transported each statue   weighs around 90 tons that's the equivalent of 22  elephants so no one knows how these were built or   moved much like the ancient egyptian pyramids some  believe that aliens had a role in making things   alien technology does sound like a crazy  theory but i can't come up with anything better   great zimbabwe great zimbabwe was an ancient  civilization it used to have a population of   around 20 000 but today there's no one in it and  it's totally overgrown the only thing we don't   know is where these 20 000 people went we know  that everyone didn't simply move out and there was   no major conflicts so what could have caused 20  000 people to vanish just like that so far science   has come up with nothing and we may never find  the answer as to what happened to these people   the loyalty islands found on the east coast of  australia the loyalty islands is yet another   vile vortex inside the triangle are many  large whirlpools this makes it very dangerous   for any ships and boats in the area there's also  geological activity which can sometimes send waves   into the sky this may be a reason why some planes  vanish over the area the world is your oyster and   you can go pretty much wherever you want but there  are some places in the world which are off limits   these places are illegal to visit sometimes for  good reasons and sometimes not so much from a top   secret chinese spying facility two entire islands  which are illegal to go on diego garcia british   overseas territories diego garcia is owned and  controlled by britain but it's nowhere near the uk   it's located between east africa the middle east  and southeast asia the island is full of dense   jungles and the beaches are very beautiful with  white sand but you won't find any tourists going   here the only thing you'll find on diego garcia  is a u.s navy base the reason why is because it's   a major strategic asset the mysterious thing is  very few people know what goes on at the base of   course some ships and also aircrafts are stationed  there that's in case the us ever has conflict with   a european asian or african country but it's also  said that the cia's black sites are located on   this island these are very secretive places where  the cia does interrogations the island is owned   by the uk but since the cold war it's been rented  out to the usa the sad thing is before this 2 000   people were living on the island but they were  forcibly expelled by the british government and   in 2016 the uk and u.s extended their agreement  by another 20 years fukushima exclusion zone japan   in 2011 something happened in japan  which changed the country forever   there was an earthquake which led to a tsunami  that tsunami then damaged a nuclear power plant   this caused a level 7 nuclear meltdown residents  within 18 miles of the power plant had to evacuate   and it was the worst nuclear meltdown since  chernobyl because of the very extreme radiation   which has taken people's lives you're not allowed  to go into this area the 18 mile radius is known   as the fukushima exclusion zone according  to the japanese government it is illegal   to go here however one malaysian photographer  named kiowi loong did go in anyway he snuck in   without any protective equipment he said that  it was like a real life version of fallout   the area is totally abandoned and creepy  residents had very little time to gather   their things and get out and it said it may  take 100 years for this area to be safe again   jayangsu national security education museum  china you may think the entire point of a   museum is to be visited by everyone right well  that's not the case with this museum in china   in 2009 china opened its very own national spy  museum it has the history of espionage and secret   intelligence from china the collection goes all  the way back to the 1920s up to today inside our   secret eavesdropping devices there are also spy  cameras disguised to look like other things and   even weapons disguised to look like other objects  but there's a catch to this museum all foreigners   are totally banned from entering you have to be  a chinese national to get in and there's much   more to it than just that there is very advanced  security screening you have to be confirmed that   you're not a spy to get in for anyone who is  allowed to enter it's illegal to take photos   inside the museum i'm guessing that a lot of these  techniques are still used by chinese spies today   and that's why anyone who's not chinese is not  allowed in it's said to be the most mysterious   and forbidden museum in the world only a couple  of photos of inside this place exist these were   released by the museum themselves of course making  sure that no sensitive information was linked   bengal fort india you may think that governments  don't legally recognize any buildings as haunted   well banger fort in india is the only legally  recognized haunted place in india because of   this you need a government permit to go anywhere  near here before dawn or after sundown the fort   was the ruins of what was once a kingdom it's  located in between japur and al war the fort was   built all the way back in 1573 and this was by the  ruler amber kachewa who made it for his youngest   son but ever since this fort was built the area  has been cursed as soon as it was built a massive   famine happened in the area this caused all of the  villagers at the time to flee it's also forbidden   to go here because it's very dangerous there are  many wild nocturnal animals that rhyme around here   this includes tigers there is no non-natural  lighting in the area meaning that you won't be   able to see what's around you and of course it's  illegal to actually go inside the fort at any time   many people even in the indian government believe  it truly is haunted but if you were allowed to   would you go inside bangar fort or would you  be too scared morgan island south carolina   what if i told you that off the coast of south  carolina in the usa there is a forbidden monkey   island morgan island also known as monkey island  can be found north of beaufort and south carolina   there is a colony of more than 4 000 rhesus  monkeys on the island the monkeys were relocated   there from puerto rico this was because many  monkeys in puerto rico were getting a bad virus   so to save them south carolina put them on the  uninhabited morgan island but today it's totally   illegal for anyone to go on this island this is  for both your safety and the monkey's safety too   they don't want anyone to go on there and harm  a monkey by spreading a human virus or injuring   one on purpose but it would also be very dangerous  for you to go onto this island the monkeys are not   used to humans and they would likely seriously  injure if not take the life of anyone who goes   on here the monkeys are owned by the national  institute of allergy and infectious diseases   and only scientists and researchers from there  are allowed to visit bank of england vaults uk   one of the most valuable assets in the world is  gold in fact the entire global financial system   used to be backed by gold but one of the countries  which has the most gold reserves in it is the uk   these are stored in the vaults of the bank  of england these are said to be the most   secure vaults in the world not all of  this gold is owned by the bank of england   a lot of it is owned by other countries which  stores their gold in the bank of england vaults   that's because the vaults have a reputation for  being super secure only those with the highest   authorization are allowed to enter in the uk  trespassing is not a crime but that does not   apply to some specific places for example the  bank of england vaults down inside the vaults   are stacks and stacks and stacks of gold bars it's  even off limits to the media and only a few photos   of the vaults exist it's thought there's over  200 billion dollars worth of gold down there   and in the 320 years it's existed no gold has  ever been stolen chapel of the tablet ethiopia   the chapel of the tablet is one of the most  elusive and mysterious places in the world   inside supposedly is the ark of the covenant  but we don't actually know this because only   the ark's guardian is allowed to enter this means  we simply have to trust the ark's guardian that   it's in there the ark of the covenant is a gold  covered wooden chest and inside contains the   two stone tablets of the ten commandments the  last time the ark of the covenant was seen by   anyone but the ark's guardian was in 587 bc even  back then the ark was not to be touched or even   looked at when uncovered and to this day it is  the holiest and most precious object in the world   the estimated value is literally priceless as  it's the most important relic in history nihao   hawaii nihao is an island located off hawaii  it's also known as the forbidden island it got   its name back in 1952 when polio broke out it was  illegal to leave or enter the island to stop the   sprint of polio the island is inhabited by 170  people every year thousands apply to visit but   almost all of them are turned down even the music  legend mick jagger was denied entry to this island   the whites club uk the whites club is said to  be the most secretive and forbidden gentleman's   club in the world it's located in a very wealthy  part of london founded in 1693 members include   politicians billionaires and royal family  members women are not allowed in with one   exception which is the queen only the most elite  people are allowed in and the membership is only   500 people also the club's bar has not closed  for 200 years do you ever wish you could just   get away from it all well then you should take  a trip to one of these buildings these are the   most remote and isolated buildings on the world  far away from any civilization some of these are   difficult and even impossible to get to and some  are very secretive only known to a few people   sphinx observatory switzerland this observatory  is located in the swiss alps many don't see   this as no one goes anywhere near these alps but  even the brave hikers that do sometimes miss it   that's because it was designed to blend in with  the rocks of the mountains it's a massive 3571   meters above sea level and it is the highest  constructed building in europe the building was   only made possible after a 20-year mission to get  up to the alps europe's highest railway station   was then built on top of these alps this allowed  them to transport builders and building materials   to make this place and it serves a pretty amazing  purpose it's one of the best observatories we have   in the world it's used for research on astronomy  meteorology and glaciology to get there you need   to get a train from zhang fao choch rail station  and then after that you need to get on an elevator   shaft through the mountain the final stretch  is a hike up to the observatory this place is   so remote and high up that many call it the top  of europe tastes rebate kyrgyzstan some say that   this is one of the oldest hotels in the world it's  known as a caravan surrey this means a rest store   for people traveling long ways it used to be used  by traders who were traveling along the silk road   for many centuries this was the main  route of commerce between europe and   asia it's far away from anything in kyrgyzstan's  narin province people making the journey between   the two continents would sleep here for a few days  rest the entire building is made from crushed rock   and clay but the inside of the buildings is very  impressive with dome-shaped roofs today it's not   used for anything after the silk road ceased to  be used this place was abandoned but if you do   want to travel here you can do so you'll need  to go on horseback and it may take many days   you can no longer sleep inside tash rabbat  but nearby there are some traditional yurts   you can sleep in eso hotel chile you may think  that there's nothing in chile's atacama desert   that is mostly the case except for one large hotel  you may recognize this building and that's because   it was featured in the james bond movie quantum  of solace now you may be thinking who on earth   would stay in a hotel located in a desert well the  answer is not tourists in fact if you want to book   a room at this hotel you'll be sorely disappointed  the hotel is only used for workers of the european   southern observatory if you saw this building  from afar you may well miss it that's because it's   built into the desert like camouflage this is to  minimize the visual impact on the surroundings as   chile prohibits building in the desert only the  central dome garden is visible on the horizon   the hotel has 108 rooms there are also 18 offices  there's also gardens a swimming pool a library and   a sauna some even nicknamed the hotel the oasis  for astronomers it's at an altitude of 2400 meters   and there's almost zero rainfall every year that's  why large vehicles bring gigantic tankers of water   to the construction every year without it it  would not remain functional and showers and   drinking water would not work the building is  dyed red to blend in with the desert sand but   this also provides a thermal mass this helps to  regulate the internal climate inside the building   catski pillar georgia catski pillar is located in  the country of georgia the unbelievable building   is a church dedicated to saint maximus it sits at  a height of 130 feet inside the church is a crypt   and a wine cellar amazingly this church is fairly  new it was built after researchers climbed the   pillar in 1944 and the church was then restored  from 2005 to 2009 from the church you get amazing   views of the surroundings that is the amazing  vegetation growing on the mountains surrounding it   bjork's island iceland knows the singer bjork she  is likely the most famous celebrity to come out of   iceland and that's why the country of iceland gave  her her own island this is called illere island   the 110 acre island is located in the middle  of nowhere it's found south of iceland in the   atlantic ocean on it is just one large white house  five families inhabited the island roughly 300   years ago and the single house which remains on  the island was built as a lodge for puffin hunters   strangely the house is surrounded by a fence but  something tells me no one's going anywhere near   this place there is nothing on the island  and you'd need to use a boat to get to it   because of its bizarre shape even a helicopter  could not be used it's also pretty uninhabitable   as it's filled with gigantic jagged sharp rocks  hali 6 research station antarctica this research   station is used by the british antarctic survey  it's the sixth research station all of the other   ones were naturally destroyed by the harsh climate  the base is designed to react to the very hostile   and ever-changing antarctic environment this means  the isolated structure should survive for a long   time the base is several pods in a straight line  this is to prevent any winds from blowing it over   it also causes any snow to drift off to the side  all of these pods are built on large steel skis   these are on hydraulic legs which raise and  decrease as the snow levels do but the entire   base itself is built on the brunt ice shelf this  is a moving 150 meter thick slab of ice this means   the halle base is moving closer and closer to the  sea every moment it would be impossible to build   this in antarctica that's why these were assembled  in south africa and then shipped to antarctica   chess pavilion china chess pavilion is far  away from anything above the clouds of china   it's located on mount hua this is said to  be one of the scariest hikes in the world   but if you make it up here you get an amazing  view from this pavilion it's located 2154   meters up in the sky this means you literally  have to get up above the clouds to be here   but based on the images the view you're rewarded  with is well worth it bishop rock lighthouse uk   this lighthouse in the uk is 70 kilometers  from the closest town it was built in the 19th   century after many shipwrecks in the area and  it was used by ships going between britain and   north america this structure was built  using granite which had to be shipped there   it was very difficult building this large tower  on a tiny piece of stone staff found it very   difficult to get to the lighthouse and that's  why in 1976 a helipad was built on the lighthouse   but since 1992 this lighthouse has been  fully automated doomsday vault norway   the svalbard global seed vault may be our  only hope if the world goes into nuclear war   it stores enough seeds to prevent a regional  or global crisis the facility is nuclear blast   proof it's also 130 meters above sea level this  means it would still be okay if all of the polar   ice caps melted huang gong see china this place in  china is known as the hanging temple it's located   on the side of mount heng beams are embedded  in the cliffs bedrock and the entire thing is   said to be made by a single man i just hope no  one drinks too much on this place and falls off   casa dopenido portugal this place in portugal  looks like it was made by a caveman it translates   to the house of stone it was built in 1974 but has  no electricity amazingly this was made using four   boulders which were naturally aligned here the  world is your oyster and you can travel pretty   much anywhere right well not exactly there  are some forbidden places on earth which you   cannot go to if you did travel into any of these  places you would put your freedom health and even   life at risk so let's take a look at these  amazing yet scary places i dare you to visit   doomsday vault norway when we think of a doomsday  world we imagine politicians and billionaires   hiding out after a nuclear blast but there's no  living people allowed in the svalbard global seed   vault if there was ever a nuclear explosion on  earth then many seeds would be wiped out this   could mean that certain plants and foods would  never grow again causing massive issues that's   why in 2008 the global seed vault was officially  opened it's said to be one of the most guarded and   secure places on earth inside there's over four  hundred thousand types of seeds ninety thousand   of which are food crops the reason why it's in an  icy area of norway is because it would not be too   affected if there was a nuclear blast lots of  funding for this actually came from microsoft   founder and billionaire bill gates this has led to  some theories that gates may try to use the bunker   in the event of a global crisis or apocalypse but  that's only speculation for now though this fault   may be the best way to keep humanity going if  there's ever an apocalypse diego garcia britain   on the surface this place looks like an amazing  tropical retreat diego garcia is an island located   in british indian ocean territory it has white  sandy beaches and coral reefs but there's a dark   past which means this place is forbidden in 1973  the uk government forcibly evicted everyone on the   island the government then built a large military  base on diego garcia since then the island has   been shrouded in secrecy many say that the cia  used this to do terrible interrogations on people   and it's also known as the british guantanamo bay  in 2016 some thought the base was going to close   but then the uk and usa met up and they  decided to continue the base until at least   2036. so for now we have no idea what  goes on on this forbidden military island   las cal caves france in 1940 this labyrinth of  caves was discovered archaeologists were amazed   because it had the best preserved stone age art  in the world it's thought this art is over 17   300 years old it soon became a top tourist  attraction and many went down to the caves   but in 1955 experts realized that tourists  were ruining the rock paintings that's because   of the carbon dioxide heat and humidity humans  produce there were basically so many people down   there that it was melting the cave paintings  that's why these caves were closed in 1963   but that has not stopped some people from trying  to break into these caves to check out the stone   age art to this day though they're closely  guarded by french cops and you're strictly   forbidden from going down there also no one's down  there and most of the caves are locked this means   if you did go down there there's a pretty good  chance you'd be lost in the labyrinth of caves   the scary thing is it's so dark down there  that no one would ever come and rescue you   north brother island usa this island is located in  new york and it's one of the most famous abandoned   places in the usa it was originally developed as  a quarantine hospital not for any recent viruses

anyone from going anywhere near it no one knows  what goes on on the island today but many claim   that it's haunted that's because it was used as  a quarantine hospital and also a rehab center   the

island for a hundred dollars snake island  brazil this island is known to locals as ilhadi   kamada grande but it's better known around the  world as snake island it would probably be a hot   spot for tourists if it weren't for one thing this  island is infested with the world's most venomous   snakes the brazilian authorities ban anyone from  visiting this island there are over four thousand   golden lancehead snakes on the island this is the  most dangerous and venomous serpent on the planet   police boats ride around the island 24 7. this  is to make sure any foolhardy explorers don't

human has ever dared to take a  trip to this island certs the island iceland   this tiny island can be found of the southern  coast of iceland it was formed as a result of   a volcanic eruption that lasted for four years  and it also has the world record for being the   newest island in the world but if you want to  go here then you're out of luck everyone except   a few scientists and geologists are banned  from going to this island that's because it's   believed that human interference could destroy the  ecological succession taking place on the island   right now they're monitoring the colonization  process of the new land by plants and animals   because it formed so recently it's a unique  scientific opportunity to find out about   plants and wildlife and so far scientists  have not been disappointed the rocky outcrop   has revealed many natural secrets and recently  unesco has even declared it a world heritage   site maybe someday stuarts the island will be open  to the public but for now it's strictly forbidden   isengu japan this place located in japan is also  known as the ise grand shrine in japan shrines are   massively popular and there's over 80 000 in the
