(Zelda Fire Sound) (Zelda secret chime) Hey, you found me. Don't look so excited. So, my whole life, I've been fascinated by codes, puzzles and cryptic artifacts. Basically, anything that looks like they could hold the key to some big secret. And this week, I was inspired to look up what real-life mysteries might be out there and of course, I came across the ones that we've all heard of like Stonehenge and the Bermuda Triangle but as I dug a little deeper I came across some really cool unexplained mysteries that not a lot of people have heard about. And, of course, I wanted to share them with you so here they are, the ten biggest unexplained mysteries of all time. Number one is the Voynich Manuscript. Known as the world's most mysterious manuscript, this two hundred and forty page book dates as far back as 1404, and is written in a language that is unknown. Acquired by Wilford Voynich in 1912, the book's pages are filled with strange events, weird diagrams and pictures of plants that don't match any on Earth, leading some to believe that the book was written by aliens. But let's be honest, what's more likely, that aliens wrote this book or some guy popped a psychedelic drug and was like ... (psychedelic music) "I think I'll write a book." Number two is the Wow Signal. In 1977, Jerry Ehman was scanning radio waves from deep space when he was contacted by a signal that lasted 72 seconds. The signal was loud and clear and came from constellation Sagittarius, a hundred and twenty light years away, which is an area of space that no human has ever gone before. Every attempt since to locate the signal has failed, leading to all kinds of speculation. It's called the Wow Signal because that's what Jerry wrote on the printout when it happened and it's a good thing he didn't get so excited that he wrote something crazy like "Holy Alfred Batman dickballs," because then it would have been called "The Holy Alfred Batman Dickballs Signal." Is it too late to change the name? Number three is angel hair. This worldwide phenomenon is a mystery that has yet to be explained. Angel hair is the term given to a mysterious, silk-like thread that falls from the sky. Nobody knows what causes it or what it's made of, as it cannot be tested due to its sensitive nature. Those who have witnessed it speculate that it could be from spiders, UFOs or possibly spider UFOs. And if that's the case then I want off this planet. Number four is the Beale Ciphers. Dating back to the eighteen hundreds, these three cipher texts allegedly revealed the location of one of the grandest buried treasures in US history, full of gold, silver and jewels. A man named Thomas Jefferson Beale wrote the ciphers and then mysteriously disappeared. Only the second text of the three has been deciphered, which indicates that the treasure is buried somewhere in Bedford County, Virginia. And to those of you out there who continually flock to this area year after year to dig for this treasure if it exists, Bedford is 776 square miles in size so ... Yeah, good luck with that. Number five is the Phaistos Disc. Discovered by Italian archaeologist, Luigi Pernier in 1908, this mysterious disc is up to 3,500 years old, made of fired clay and includes 241 mysterious symbols that no one's been able to read. Neither its meaning nor where it was created is known, making it one of the most famous archaeological mysteries to date. Personally, I love when things like this are given so much importance without actually knowing what it is because I think it would be hilarious if it just turned out to be a plate that some guy used to cook his pizza on. Number six is the Shugborough Inscription. In Staffordshire, England, there's a monument depicting a mirror image of the painting "Shepherds of Arcadia," underneath which lies a mysterious inscription. It's been called one of the world's top, un-cracked cipher texts for over 250 years, with some of the world's greatest minds unable to do it, including Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens. There's a theory that the inscription was a clue left by the Knights of Templar as to the location of the Holy Grail but I suggest you don't listen to such conspiracy theories because they can make you crazy. Number seven is the Georgia Guidestones. Also known as American Stonehenge, this all-granite monument was erected in 1979 in Albert County, Georgia. It's engraved with ten new commandments in eight different languages. Its purpose, origin and who commissioned it are all a mystery, but some believe that it's being used by the person who created it to call for a new world order. But that conspiracy's been around for a long time and it always sounds ridiculous. (clears through) But, you know, in the event that there is a new world order coming, I, for one, would like to welcome our new world overlords. Please don't enslave me. I can make you videos. Number eight is the Taos Hum. This low-pitched sound is similar to the hum of a refrigerator and can be found in Taos, New Mexico. What's most interesting is the hum cannot be picked up by electronic equipment, making the source impossible to pinpoint. In fact, in 1997, US Congress commissioned scientists to find the source of the hum and they were unable to. And just from a practical standpoint, it must really suck (loud humming noise) to live in that area because it'd be impossible to sleep or even hold a conversation with someone. (loud humming noise) See what I mean? Number nine are the South African Metal Spheres. Over the last few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal spheres. Each sphere is about one inch in diameter and has strange etchings on them. They're all made of metal, some being solid and some being hollow. What's really interesting about these is that these spheres are being dug out of rock that is precambrian, meaning it's 2.8 billion years old. No human ever lived that long ago and the Earth itself is only 4.5 billion years old so... How did it get there? (X-Files theme song plays) (Bleep) is crazy. And number ten are the Sailing Stones. Death Valley National Park in California is home to stones that move by themselves. Seriously. The rocks move slowly over years without any human intervention and leave long trails in their wake Even the geniuses at Nasa cannot find an explanation for this mysterious movement. And what's really crazy is that people have actually begun to steal these rocks. And I have a question. Why would you want to steal a rock that seemingly has a mind of it's own? Does that really sound like a good idea to you? You bring these rocks into your house, next thing you know it bashes in your skull, steals all your (bleep), and drives away in your car. I've seen it happen too many times. Anyways, that's all for this video, guys. I hope you enjoyed it.
