The Eye of the Sahara, one of the most mysterious places on the planet.

The vastness of our planet earth harbors numerous mysteries, to which exact answers have not yet been found.

It is true that places such as the Nazca Lines in Peru, Stonehenge in the United Kingdom, Death Valley or the mysterious Zone of Silence in the United States, impress and fill with confusion both researchers and onlookers.

Top 8 of the most mysterious places in the world

1. Lake Roopkund

Lake Roopkund, Himalayas, India.

The mystery of this lake began in 1942, when a ranger from India passed through this Himalayan lake, finding several human bones that caught his attention.

The discovery of these corpses, in the first instance, did not throw great mysteries, it could be some military expedition or a group of explorers; however, when the remains were subjected to studies, they realized that it was something truly strange.

Some of these bones dated from the 9th century AD, while others were from the 19th century. What could have attracted these people to this remote place, where they met their death? There are no clear answers on this.

The latest conclusions perplexed the researchers, the subjects found, for the most part, had Mediterranean ancestry, probably from the island of Crete or Greece; not necessarily from these places, but they did have that ancestry.

On the other hand, it is known that the group was made up of men and women, and could be a family; however, none of these people had any kind of relationship, ruling out this hypothesis.

The reasons for these finds are unknown, although some kind of religious ritual or pilgrimage route could be involved ; It would not be unreasonable, since there are several similar routes in this area of the Himalayas.

However, why Mediterranean people, and why so many centuries apart, is a mystery that we may never be able to unravel.

2. Island Sentinel from North

Island Sentinel North, India.

It is impossible to access the island Sentinel of the North, since its population is highly hostile to the people who arrive there.

This island, which is under the jurisdiction of India, was world famous in 2018, when a young American who professed the Protestant religion decided to bring the word of God to these beings, who attacked him with arrows and died on that island.

It is important to point out that this preacher was alerted to the danger, since in all the nearby areas, the bellicosity of the inhabitants of Sentinel of the North, who do not allow anyone to approach their territory.

The inhabitants of this island, continuing to live in the Stone Age, are said to not know how to make fire (which is unlikely) although they know how to use it, they do not know agriculture, and they have never been colonized.

In fact, there are historical records that show their hostility going back several centuries.

3. Antarctica

Blood Falls, Antarctica.

Antarctica or the South Pole, as it is also called, is, without a doubt, the most mysterious place on earth, much of this mystery being fueled by the fact that you cannot go there without having a permit.

Antarctica keeps several mysteries, one of them is its Blood Falls, which are red waterfalls; This coloration is due to the minerals that stain the water.

Another mystery alludes to the possible ice-free places that Antarctica awaits, this fact being pointed out by some soldiers, who have done nothing more than fuel questions and speculation about this place.

However, perhaps one of the most mysterious places is the mythical Lake vostok, where a Russian military base operates.

It is said that the mystery of this lake is due to an electromagnetic disturbance in its deep soil; causing waves of speculation, which point from natural elements to unlikely explanations.

In addition to this, it is known that in the lake vostok Several unique ancient creatures inhabit it, making it a very special spot for scientists.

Be that as it may, Antarctica is one of the most fascinating places on planet Earth.

4. The Devil's Teapot

The Devil's Teapot, United States.

The Devil's Kettle or Caldera del Diablo, is one of the most mysterious places in the United States and the world, as it is a waterfall that apparently has no bottom.

It is said that it has no bottom, because the locals, for many years, have thrown all kinds of artifacts, objects, and even paintings down the hole of the waterfall, realizing that the water that enters there does not come out anywhere.

Some years ago it was concluded that it is actually a visual effect, where the water from the waterfall falls into an underground river that returns the water to the surface; however, this conclusion does not satisfy many people, who have confirmed its lack of depth.

5. The Cave Krubera - Voronya

Cave Krubera - Voronya, Ga.

The Caucasus is a place full of mysteries, it was one of the largest entry routes for human settlement in Europe, and one of the most important strategic points in history.

The cave has numerous galleries and flood zones, in addition to showing impressive rock formations; although it is said that the greatest findings are yet to be discovered.

6. The Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda Triangle. Caribbean Sea.

During the second half of the 20th century, the Bermuda Triangle was one of the most documented mysteries, with numerous disappearances and testimonies of paranormal events; however, this anomaly appears to be much older.

When we reviewed Christopher Columbus's “On Board Diary”, we discovered that as he approached land, he and other crew members observed some lights, which seemed to rise to the sky and go down to the water; some point out that they were torches, while others claim that it was something more strange.

The Bermuda Triangle is located in the Caribbean Sea, in the area between: the coast of Florida in the United States, the island of Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda.

Joining these points creates an imaginary line, where most of the strange events have taken place, although in the surroundings, there have also been cases of disappearances and strange events.

7. The Dragon Triangle

Dragon Triangle, Japan.

The Bermuda Triangle and the Dragon Triangle are located at 35 degrees east and west latitude, so each one is in the same place but on the other side of the planet.

Like the Caribbean triangle, the Dragon Triangle has been the subject of myths, legends and stories, which seek to explain the disappearance of ships and ships at different times in history.

The ancient Japanese pointed out that in the depths of the Devil's Sea, as the location of the Japanese triangle is called, lived a community of dragons, who were responsible for the disappearances.

One of the most impressive cases was the disappearance of a crew of five men, who were on board a military ship, which was found a few days later, in perfect condition, but with no trace of the crew.

8. Eye of the Sahara

Eye of the Sahara, Mauritania.

The Eye of the Sahara is, of all the mysterious places discussed so far, the most attractive and safest of all.

It is also known as the Structure of Richat, and its multicolored eye shape can be seen from outer space, which has fueled the mystery of its formation.

Some have wanted to see in this space, the creation and destruction of the mythical Atlantis, because the city of this Greek myth had circular shapes where circles of land alternated with circles of water.

However, it is most likely that the formation was created, thanks to millions of years of erosion.

A curious fact is that the Eye of the Sahara, presents rocks with an antiquity of 2,500 million years, in the central part of the nucleus; alternating with rocks of about 600 million years. On the other hand, the rocks farthest from the center are of a lower date.

Its creation is a real mystery, in addition to being located in the Sahara desert, where there is nothing nearby.
