6 Mysteries in History So Strange That They Can't Be Explained No Matter How Hard Scientists Try

Today's developed science still cannot decipher all the mysteries of history.

Human history spans millennia, and historians will never know all of its secrets. Artifacts found during archaeological digs sometimes raise questions that leave even the most knowledgeable experts stumped. But that only makes the search for the truth all the more interesting.

Here are some of the most remarkable historical mysteries discovered over the years that historians and archaeologists have yet to explain.

The Giant Stone Spheres of Costa Rica

These mysterious rocks are fascinating not only because of their perfect spherical shape but also because of their unknown origin and purpose.

They were discovered in the 1930s by workers clearing jungle from a banana plantation. Local legend has it that the mysterious spheres contained hidden gold, but when dynamite was used to explore inside, they turned out to be empty.

No one knows who created these spheres or why they were made. It is possible that they represented celestial bodies used by an ancient culture, or served as territorial markers for different tribes.

Baghdad Battery

It seems that the Mesopotamians gave us a head start on how to generate electricity long before it was invented. In the 1930s, a mysterious artifact was discovered during an archaeological dig not far from Baghdad. The so-called 'Baghdad Battery' was a 13cm jar, with a corroded iron rod protruding from the mouth. A copper cylinder was found inside the jar... and inside the cylinder was another iron rod.

After examining its structure, experts came to the conclusion that this was an ancient battery, capable of producing a current of 1 volt.

According to one theory, such batteries could have been used for gold plating. But experts still do not understand why such a technological development was later forgotten, and why nothing similar has ever been found in the surrounding areas.

Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript is perhaps the world's most mysterious book. Its author is unknown, it is written in an indecipherable language, and its pages are filled with inexplicable symbols and strange illustrations.

What makes the manuscript so unusual is that it is written in a completely unique alphabet that bears no resemblance to any known writing system. This cryptic text baffled cryptographers throughout the 20th century and remains undeciphered to this day.

Golden statue of the Inca

Golden figurines of mysterious animals found in South America instantly evoke flying machines. Exactly what inspired them remains unknown.

In 1996, German model aircraft builders Algund Eeboom and Peter Belting theorized that the figurines were aircraft. They built exact replicas that were 16 times larger and equipped with engines and radio control systems. The two models were not only able to take off successfully, but also performed maneuvers even with the engines turned off.

Genetic disc

This remarkable artifact appears to depict objects and processes that modern scientists can only observe through a microscope. In particular, although it may seem unbelievable, the 'genetic disc' appears to show the process of conception and development of a human embryo. In addition, the image also depicts a truly bizarre version of a human head.

The disc was made of an extremely durable material that no one knew how to produce and was theoretically unusable by ancient societies.

Antikythera mechanism

The Antikythera mechanism is one of the oldest known calculating mechanisms, perhaps the first analog computer in history, and is extremely complex in design.

After decades of research, historians have determined that this mechanism functioned to display the positions of the Sun, Moon, and movements of the planets in the sky, as well as predict solar and lunar eclipses, and even important events on Earth, such as the ancient Olympic Games.

However, there is still debate about whether ancient civilizations were capable of producing such complex devices in the period before the Antikythera mechanism was invented. Some experts claim that its design—a set of bronze gears—influenced similar devices in the millennia that followed.
