there are few things more annoying than losing your keys but most of the time the mystery ends when we find them in our pocket or underneath a piece of paper on the kitchen table but some mysteries aren't so easy to solve like these mind-blowing secrets locked away in vaults and tombs around the world from the cursed grave of a Chinese emperor to a billionaire drug lords lost stash I'll show you ten strange mysteries hidden away just waiting to be discovered number 10 the world's richest temple in the state of Kerala in southern India there's a real-life story of treasure ancient secrets and deathly intrigue the temple of sripad madhava swanee in Trivandrum is the holy shrine to maha vishnu the most powerful Hindu deity the entirely gold-plated temple was built in the 16th century and was renovated a few hundred years later by the kings of Travancore one of India's wealthiest ancient families according to local legends the kings of Travancore and hidden their vast wealth within the stone walls and vault of the temple then in 2011 the Indian Supreme Court demanded a routine audit of the temples treasury counting the treasure was harder than it sounds local religious leaders warned that opening the vaults would disrespect Maha Vishnu leading to catastrophic heavenly punishment the last time someone tried was in 1931 and legend has it a sudden plague of Cobras sprang from the vault but despite protests and death threats from hardline Hindus lawyer TP suna Rajan got permission to open it up for the first time in centuries not long later t P Sundara Shan and his team had opened five of the six vaults and were stunned by what they found inside the temple was a breathtaking hoard of crowns weapons bags of diamonds rubies gold statues vessels made from gold golden elephants gold coins even golden coconuts studded with jewels in total the contents of the Treasury were valued at one trillion US dollars when one door remained unlocked the vault named the Bharata con cholera a huge serpent figure on the door indicated danger and temple priests and Vedic scholars insisted opening the final door would bring grave misfortune the only way to safely enter the vault would be if a Hindu priest or Saint performed a sacred Rite known as the Garuda mantra the only problem is there is nobody alive who knows how to do it of course some people doubt things like curses and superstition but since the lawyer teepee Sundari Shan mysteriously died no one has dared open the final vault number nine the smallpox vaults smallpox is a deadly and highly contagious disease that has killed millions through the course of human history it has been found in the tombs of the ancient Egyptian mummies and claimed the lives of kings queens and peasants alike the disease causes a painful pus-filled rash to erupt all over the body and leads to hemorrhages organ failure and death it's been preventable since 1798 when Edward Jenner discovered a vaccine but it took until the 1960s for humankind to really tackle smallpox head-on but the good news is thanks to modern medicine smallpox has now been eradicated except not completely tiny amounts of the disease live on frozen inside top-secret military bioweapons facilities in both the USA and Russia if either sample is ever unleashed the disease could multiply and kill millions once again many have argued that the last remaining samples should be destroyed but neither the USA or Russia seem willing to do so they say it's so they could make better vaccines in case smallpox comes back from some forgotten sorcerer perhaps freshly engineered by terrorists but some fear the USA is holding onto it because the Russians have it and that the Russians are holding on to it because the Americans still have it both sides are using this deadly disease as an insurance policy in a new biological arms race well whatever the truth let's all hope this locked vault is never opened again number 8 Emperor Qin's secret tomb as the Roman Empire was in turmoil ancient China was enjoying an era of peace Emperor Qin Shi Shuang had United the seven warring States and became the head of the first Imperial Chinese dynasty this was an all-powerful leader who dreamt of living forever and though he only came to power aged 13 he immediately started work on his tomb so his eternal afterlife will be fit for a king well an emperor and Emperor Qin didn't mess around his sprawling tomb complex was worked on by a total of 700,000 people across the country many of whom built the world-famous terracotta warriors 8000 unique life-size clay statues ready to defend their Emperor in the afterlife but the pictures we have of Emperor Qin's vast army are just the tip of the iceberg his tomb itself remains sealed and we can only speculate what's inside Chinese archaeologists have warned the tomb is protected by booby traps and contains toxic mercury the scale of the tomb is also huge and it would be impossible to excavate with current technology maybe one day mankind will see inside the Emperor's final resting place but don't hold your breath it might be another two thousand years number seven the Hall of Records now to Egypt land of the Nile and ancient world wonders like the Sphinx a huge line with a Pharaoh's head carved from a single gigantic piece of limestone there is no doubt that the Sphinx still hides secrets and Egyptologists are still studying it in their search to solve the riddles of history but when ancient Egypt is involved no theory is too outlandish following the discovery of empty spaces below the Sphinx by new ground-penetrating radar some experts have claimed to have found the mythical Egyptian Hall of Records this would be a gigantic find and contain a trove of information and artifacts that would give us new insights into Egypt's mysterious civilization the most exciting prospect for conspiracy theorists is that the Hall of Records might prove their claims that aliens visited earth during the time of the Pharaohs and could tell us the location of the mythical city of Atlantis so why then are the Egyptian authorities blocking any excavations underneath the Sphinx could it be the conspiracy theorists are right number 6 murder hotel deep in the Canadian Rockies in the Fairmount Banff Springs hotel is an unopened door that conceals a terrifying secret legend has it an entire family was murdered whilst asleep in room 8 37 housekeeping discovered their bodies the next morning lying in pools of blood with bloody handprints all over the walls since then the room has been boarded up and plastered over the hotel claims the room never existed despite the regular sighting of ghosts walking around the corridors number five the Taj Mahal's basement back to India and the world-famous Taj Mahal its familiar white dome is an Indian national icon but some believe it hides a secret just beneath the surface most people agree that the mausoleum complex was built by the Mughals a Muslim empire that ruled India for over 300 years the story goes that Shah Jahan built it to honor his favorite wife who died giving birth to their 14th child but some Hindus who have a long-standing rivalry with Indian Muslims have pointed to a series of mysterious locked rooms in the Taj Mahal they say these rooms could mean a religious cover-up and if the Taj Mahal was actually built as a Hindu temple not a Muslim Palace there are areas of the Taj Mahal that are off-limits and doorways that have been bricked up but is this for conservation like the authorities say or to hide something far more mysterious what we do know is nobody has ever been led inside number-four treasure under Machu Picchu built by the Incas the Citadel of Machu Picchu dates from medieval times but was unknown to the rest of the world until 1911 this secretive city high in the mountains was used by Inca Kings as a fortress until its population fled from Spanish invaders and the smallpox they brought but archaeologists say that the Incas left behind more than ruins beneath Machu Picchu lie undiscovered tombs and cave systems radar analysis has shown the presence of metal almost certainly gold and treasure but the locations of these chambers make them impossible to reach Peruvians fear that this sacred place will be damaged if archeologists disturb the city walls and have refused to grant them permission who knows if we will ever find out what the Inca Kings hid down there number three on Cologne nuclear waste facility how do you store highly dangerous nuclear waste how do you keep it safe and prevent people from finding it especially when it will stay dangerous for millennia a Finnish company thinks it has found an answer by burying the waste in a huge underground facility deep in solid granite bedrock the repositories at the end of a five-mile tunnel and will one day be filled with thousands of highly radioactive fuel rods capable of causing terrible suffering for another 100,000 years that's the same amount of time humans have been around on earth experts say this is the safest way to store it but with the time period that long can they be sure once the facility is operational it's huge steel doors will be closed forever and let's just hope forever means forever the facility must lie undiscovered for thousands of years and who can guess what will happen in that time civilizations will rise and fall earth will probably experience another Ice Age maybe humankind won't even exist by that point so the question the finish now have is should they just bury this waste and forget about it or relieve some kind of marker at the surface to warn people to stay away it can't rely on language because nobody will be speaking English in 100,000 years time so how do you say keep out let's hope they work it out because the mysterious doors at Uncle OH waste facility must never be opened number 2 Pablo Escobar's safe Colombian drug lord pablo escobar was notorious gaining huge fame wealth and power by smuggling cocaine from south america into the u.s. in the early 1990s it was estimated his gang supplied 80% of the cocaine in North America and Escobar was making a personal income of twenty one point nine billion u.s. dollars every year but Escobar's luck didn't last forever and he was shot dead by police in his home in 1993 Escobar's huge estate was sold off including a beachfront mansion in Miami a wealthy family of Renault's bought the property and we're living there normally until they decided to do a bit of renovation halfway through the building work they stumbled across an underground vault inside they found a huge metal safe knowing Escobar's reputation the new owners of this 50 pound treasure chest were a little scared of what they might find inside it could be drugs guns money anything however before they had a chance to open the safe it was stolen so far it has not been recovered so we may never know what it contained the Miami police have not made any arrests and besides they don't know what was stolen except an old safe it seems Pablo Escobar still has the power to create mysteries even from beyond the grave number one the Preston egg and now to an unlikely location for our final mystery the town of Preston in Lancashire England an unassuming safe deposit box sits in a bank vault in this sleepy town rumor has it that inside is a priceless Faberge egg that used to belong to the Russian Czars Faberge eggs are incredibly rare and valuable and were made for the Russian royal family out of gold and gemstones forty-three are held in museums and collections the Queen of England has three of them but seven are still missing with only two of those thought to have survived the Russian Revolution so how did one end up in Preston well the theory goes that a dr. Maxwell Wilcock an eccentric Explorer who traveled regularly to the Soviet Union during the Cold War was actually a spy he's now dead but his family claimed he spoke of owning a golden egg and was friends with the jeweler who was last known to own it when he died he left a trail of money and suspicious items behind his family found thousands of pounds stuff in his pajamas the jeweler who last saw the famous egg didn't realize its value and sold it for 1,250 pounds in today's money it would be worth more like 38 million US dollars of course Wilcox family are desperate to open a safe-deposit box and reap the rewards of their enigmatic family member but with no mention of it in his will and no other authorization the bank is refusing to let them look inside let's hope this is one mystery they'll manage to crack so would you risk an ancient curse to become fabulously wealthy maybe we should open these doors to find the truth no matter what let me know in the comments [Music]
