Ce que Niagara a caché pendant des années + d'autres mystères non résolus

Sympa

Pendant des années, les chutes du Niagara ont gardé un secret surprenant : il y avait deux corps cachés dans les rochers qui n'ont été découverts qu'après une rare période de sécheresse. Pour ajouter au mystère, certaines personnes croient qu'il y a des esprits fantomatiques rôdant près des chutes en raison du grand nombre d'accidents tragiques. Il existe des endroits vraiment intrigants à travers le monde qui sont empreints de mystère. Les immenses têtes de pierre de l'île de Pâques, appelées Moai, ont laissé les experts perplexes quant à la manière dont elles ont été déplacées et ce qu'elles symbolisent. Enfin, les lignes de Nazca au Pérou, d'énormes géoglyphes gravés dans le sol du désert, restent un mystère quant à leur véritable but et à la manière dont les anciens les ont créées avec une telle précision. Découvrons ces mystères et bien d'autres !

00:00:00If you could go up in a time machine and come back in 1969, you would see something spectacular.

00:00:08It's not just any desert, it's one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world, but completely dry.

00:00:15During the summer and autumn of 1969, for six months, the American part of the Niagara Falls was left without water.

00:00:23Researchers wanted to study the rocky wall of the falls.

00:00:26They feared they would become too unstable due to erosion.

00:00:29Erosion is the process by which natural forces such as water and wind use terrestrial materials.

00:00:35For example, if you see the ice of a glacier become muddy, it means there is erosion.

00:00:41The three waterfalls that cross the international border between Canada and the United States form what are called the Niagara Falls.

00:00:49From the largest to the smallest, these three falls were named the Iron Horse Falls, the American Falls and the Sail of the Bride.

00:00:57The American Falls are entirely on the American side, while the Iron Horse Falls are mainly on the Canadian side, separated by the island of Goat.

00:01:06The Sail of the Bride Falls, the smallest, are on the American side, but are separated from the others by the island of Luna.

00:01:13Many people did not believe that we could go against the power of nature and prevent such a quantity of water from flowing.

00:01:21But we did.

00:01:22It was necessary to build a 183-metre dam on the huge Niagara River to stop these impressive falls.

00:01:29This meant that it was necessary to divert 227,000 litres of water per second for the rest of the flow to pass through the largest Iron Horse Falls,

00:01:37which are entirely on the Canadian side of the border.

00:01:41More than 27,000 tonnes of rock were used to build this dam.

00:01:45More than 1,000 trucks transported these rocks during the heat of this summer 1969.

00:01:50On June 12, the American Falls stopped after flowing uninterruptedly for more than 12,000 years.

00:01:56The Iron Horse Falls then absorbed the additional flow so that the research could be carried out properly.

00:02:03But the inhabitants were still worried.

00:02:05They knew that it was not possible to control such a quantity of water.

00:02:08They feared that the water would take another path and cause a catastrophic flood.

00:02:13They also feared that tourists would no longer come if the teams could not make the falls flow as before.

00:02:19But tourists continued to come, even this summer.

00:02:22And they had the unique chance to see something that no one had ever seen before or after.

00:02:28During this period, a temporary bridge was even built only six metres from the edge of the dried-up falls.

00:02:35It allowed the workers to clean the bottom of what was once a river.

00:02:40Thus, tourists could go there and explore the wild landscape of the falls,

00:02:44which was usually underwater, hostile and inaccessible in normal times.

00:02:48Exploring the dried-up bottom of the falls,

00:02:51researchers came across millions of coins that people had thrown into the water over the decades,

00:02:56to make a wish or for any other reason.

00:02:59They removed most of these coins and we can wonder what they did with this money.

00:03:04Anyway, for the past few decades, more and more tourists have come here.

00:03:09Imagine everything they could find now.

00:03:12New coins, of course, but also lost cameras,

00:03:15drones and dropped mobile phones,

00:03:18and other objects that careless visitors could have accidentally dropped in the falls.

00:03:23The idea of removing all the water and turning the Niagara Falls into a desert was possible.

00:03:28But maybe we should start again.

00:03:31In 2020, the media reported that two bridges had to be replaced or repaired.

00:03:36No wonder, as they are nearly 120 years old.

00:03:39These bridges are located above the rapids.

00:03:42Experts debated the question of whether or not to turn the water again.

00:03:47There is a lot of talk about the Niagara Falls,

00:03:50and some think they are the highest in the world.

00:03:52But this is not the case.

00:03:54They are certainly breathtakingly beautiful,

00:03:56but in terms of height, there are nearly 500 other waterfalls in the world that are higher than the Niagara Falls.

00:04:03Starting with the Salto Angel in Venezuela, which is more than 915 meters high.

00:04:09But what makes the Niagara Falls so special is the amount of water that flows.

00:04:13Very high waterfalls generally do not have a high flow rate.

00:04:17It is the combination of these huge amounts of water and height that makes the Niagara Falls so impressive.

00:04:23In addition, they are among the falls that move the fastest on our planet.

00:04:28The Niagara River appeared after the last glacial period,

00:04:32at the same time as the whole basin of the Great Lakes, of which it is part.

00:04:3518,000 years ago, this impressive waterfall did not exist.

00:04:39Glacial slabs with a thickness of 1,500 to 3,000 meters covered the region of southern Ontario.

00:04:45By moving south, the glacial slabs created the basins of the Great Lakes.

00:04:50Then they melted, releasing huge amounts of water into the basins.

00:04:54In general, the water we drink is fossil water.

00:04:58Only 1% of it is renewed throughout the year, the remaining 99% coming from glacial slabs.

00:05:04The Niagara Peninsula has not been under ice for nearly 12,500 years.

00:05:10When the ice melted, the resulting water began to flow through what later became the Niagara River,

00:05:17the Erie Lake and Lake Ontario.

00:05:20It took a lot of time, but the water eventually surrounded the cliffs and formed these spectacular falls.

00:05:26You may have noticed that the Niagara River is surprisingly green.

00:05:30This color shows us how powerful the water is when it comes to erosion.

00:05:35Every minute, the Niagara Falls spit out more than 60 tons of dissolved minerals.

00:05:40It is all this, added to the salt and finely ground rocks, that gives this magnificent color.

00:05:45The inhabitants of the United States and Canada, or more precisely the more than a million people who have access to the region,

00:05:52use the waters of the Niagara River for various purposes.

00:05:55For example, fishing, drinking water supply, recreational activities, swimming,

00:06:01pleasure sailing, bird watching, hydroelectric energy production, and much more.

00:06:08The first hydroelectric power plant in the world was built at the end of the 19th century,

00:06:13just next to the falls.

00:06:15Very quickly, it began to bear fruit, because electricity could be drawn from it.

00:06:19But this electricity could only travel 100 meters, and so things had to be improved.

00:06:24It was Nikola Tesla who took up the challenge and brought the necessary modifications.

00:06:29He discovered that electricity could travel long distances using an alternative current.

00:06:35Today, the various power plants in the Niagara Falls provide more than 2 million kilowatts of electricity.

00:06:42Interestingly, it was not only in 1969 that the Niagara Falls stopped.

00:06:47In 1848, the water did not flow for 40 hours.

00:06:51The falls were already very popular with tourists and were a source of useful energy for the local population.

00:06:57It is therefore not surprising that they panicked.

00:07:00But this time, it was nature that was at fault.

00:07:03The ice blocked the source of the Niagara River.

00:07:06An American farmer was the first to notice it.

00:07:10It was March 29th, and he went for a walk just before midnight.

00:07:14He quickly realized that he did not hear the thundering of the falls.

00:07:18He quickly went ashore and was stunned.

00:07:22There was almost no water left.

00:07:24The factories and mills had to close because they depended on this water.

00:07:28The turtles did not know where to go, the fish were dead.

00:07:31Some people were walking along the bottom of the river,

00:07:34picking up the little things they found there as a souvenir.

00:07:37But two days later, on March 31st,

00:07:40people heard a loud noise coming from upstream of the river.

00:07:45They came closer and got closer until a water wall appeared before their eyes.

00:07:50One of the largest attractions in the world, visited by millions of tourists each year,

00:07:55was back in action.

00:07:57Magnificent and finally invincible, as nature must be.

00:08:0250 ships and 20 planes disappeared.

00:08:05Many people became volatilized, and mysterious forces could have...

00:08:09Oh no, wait, this is not the right scenario.

00:08:11This Bermuda Triangle is located in Transylvania.

00:08:14Sorry, I made a mistake.

00:08:16So, once upon a time, in the heart of Transylvania,

00:08:19there was a mysterious place that people called

00:08:21the Bermuda Triangle of Transylvania.

00:08:24Look at these twisted trees and these undergrowth.

00:08:27It looks like an evil creature can appear from behind a tree at any time.

00:08:31There could even be ghosts and mysterious creatures from space,

00:08:35as some legends tell us.

00:08:37This forest became very popular in the 1960s.

00:08:40One day, a man was relaxing on a hot August day with his girlfriend and some friends.

00:08:45Suddenly, his girlfriend pointed at something unusual in the sky.

00:08:50A man approached the place where she was,

00:08:52and to his great surprise, saw her too.

00:08:55It was a strange silver disc shining up there.

00:08:59He quickly took out his camera,

00:09:01and took four pictures before the strange object disappeared.

00:09:05The thing only stayed for two minutes,

00:09:07but the man developed his film,

00:09:09and his pictures were published in local newspapers.

00:09:12Many people were skeptical.

00:09:14They thought it was probably a meteorological balloon

00:09:17that looked like a spaceship,

00:09:19because it had been photographed under a strange lighting.

00:09:22However, that day, no meteorological balloon,

00:09:26or any other object was found in the sky of the forest.

00:09:29It's scary, isn't it?

00:09:30It's not the only legend in this region.

00:09:33It is said that those who ventured too far into the dark depths of this sinister place

00:09:38did not come back often,

00:09:40which earned him his nickname.

00:09:43A shepherd entered the forest with his 200 sheep.

00:09:46They were never found.

00:09:49People also tell the story of a 5-year-old girl who disappeared one day.

00:09:54She reappeared 5 years later,

00:09:56wearing the same clothes as the day she disappeared,

00:09:59and not wearing a robe.

00:10:01There are people who entered the forest and managed to get out of it,

00:10:05but with serious burns, a severe fever,

00:10:08and other health problems that they did not have before.

00:10:12Some are convinced that this happened because the basement contains a lot of natural uranium

00:10:17with a high level of radioactivity.

00:10:20According to others,

00:10:22it is very common to come to this forest

00:10:24and have the impression that someone is watching you

00:10:26or that your electronic devices are reaching.

00:10:29And now, here is something that is not a legend.

00:10:32The forest has an incredible history.

00:10:35Some sources claim that it housed the oldest colony in Romania,

00:10:40dating from 6,500 BC.

00:10:43The trees themselves are quite mysterious.

00:10:46They grow in the form of strange spirals or with funny zigzag patterns.

00:10:51Although scientists came to explore this phenomenon,

00:10:54they could not find the answer to the question of why they are like this.

00:10:58We have the impression that the trees twist their branches

00:11:01to be able to stretch and catch you when you do not look.

00:11:04And what is interesting is that each of these twisted trees

00:11:07turns in a spiral in the direction of the needles of a watch.

00:11:10But the legends say that many inexplicable things

00:11:13happened in a specific part of the forest

00:11:15where there are no trees or any other type of vegetation.

00:11:19This is a perfect circle called The Clearing.

00:11:22The perfect name for a horror movie inspired by all these stories.

00:11:27The soil of this vegetation-free area has been tested

00:11:30and no one has found anything strange or anomalous

00:11:33that could prevent plants from growing there.

00:11:36Some inhabitants think that the forest has a positive energy

00:11:39and that it is therefore good to make wishes there.

00:11:42But even more people give free rein to their imagination

00:11:45and tell stories about the paranormal activities that take place there,

00:11:49like mysterious spheres that arise in the middle of the forest

00:11:52or extraterrestrial lights.

00:11:55Whatever it is, Dracula, you and your castle, you can get out

00:11:58because you are not the only scary story in Transylvania.

00:12:01Here is another place because of which you will not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

00:12:05The Isla de las Monecas or the Island of the Dolls.

00:12:10In the middle of the troubled and sinister waters of the canals near Mexico

00:12:13there is a small island.

00:12:15It may seem charming at first glance

00:12:17until you realize that it houses hundreds of dolls

00:12:20suspended in trees and scattered in dense vegetation.

00:12:25These dolls are old and rotten.

00:12:27They have lost their color over time

00:12:29and their smiling faces are now crooked

00:12:32and express despair and horror.

00:12:35A sad story is hidden behind this sinister place.

00:12:39It is said that the island housed a lonely man

00:12:42who left his family more than 50 years ago

00:12:44to live alone on the island.

00:12:47He began to collect in an obsessive way

00:12:50dolls lost in the canal.

00:12:52The story goes that he even exchanged the products he grew

00:12:55with the inhabitants of the island to get more dolls.

00:12:58The man did not clean his dolls and did not try to repair them.

00:13:01He was content to decorate his island with them,

00:13:04whatever the state in which he found them.

00:13:07Even those that were in good condition

00:13:08ended up getting damaged because of the wind and rain.

00:13:11There were not only dolls on the outside.

00:13:13His cabin was also full of these sinister toys.

00:13:16Many people were terrified by this place

00:13:19and claimed that it was cursed.

00:13:21But others thought that the dolls were protecting the island.

00:13:24In the northern suburbs of London

00:13:26is the mysterious Highgate Cemetery.

00:13:30It is certainly not a typical last-minute place.

00:13:34This cemetery has many strange tombs

00:13:37including those of Karl Marx and Douglas Adams.

00:13:40But this is not what attracts visitors.

00:13:43People come here because of the legends

00:13:45that claim that this place is haunted

00:13:47by all kinds of scary creatures

00:13:49including vampires.

00:13:52It is clear that we never get bored

00:13:53with these stories of dark characters

00:13:55who climb over tombs

00:13:56with red eyes and pointed horns.

00:13:59But this place has not always been so scary.

00:14:02Created in the middle of the 19th century,

00:14:04it had been abandoned and invaded by plants

00:14:06with ruined monuments

00:14:08and a vegetation that seemed to swallow the tombs.

00:14:10But these legends became popular

00:14:12at the same time as the place itself

00:14:14in the 1970s

00:14:16after the cemetery appeared in several horror movies.

00:14:19There are even visitors who call themselves

00:14:21vampire hunters.

00:14:24There is a peaceful and charming village

00:14:26called Pluckley

00:14:27located a few kilometers from London.

00:14:29This is at least what it would look like at first glance.

00:14:31But it is rumored that Pluckley

00:14:33could be the most haunted village in England.

00:14:36By walking through these winding streets,

00:14:38you will discover many places

00:14:40that legends say are haunted.

00:14:43Many of them are related to the Derring family

00:14:45which bore the title of Lord of the Manor

00:14:47for more than four centuries.

00:14:50The windows surrounded by many buildings

00:14:52give the impression of being from another time.

00:14:55Legend has it that hundreds of years ago,

00:14:57Lord Derring escaped

00:14:59when his enemies captured him.

00:15:01He jumped out of one of his windows,

00:15:03head first.

00:15:04In commemoration of this rather bold act,

00:15:06all the windows of the manor and the village

00:15:08were made in the same style.

00:15:11Even if the manor burned down in 1951,

00:15:14the legacy of Lord Derring's escape

00:15:16is perpetuated in the charming village of Pluckley.

00:15:20Some say that Pluckley

00:15:21is surrounded by a screaming wood.

00:15:23There are many legends

00:15:25about paranormal events that have occurred there.

00:15:27There are nice hiking trails in this wood,

00:15:30but to be honest,

00:15:31I wouldn't be brave enough to borrow them

00:15:33only during the day.

00:15:34And the Twisted Forest?

00:15:36It is located in Poland

00:15:38and consists of 400 pines

00:15:40whose trunks take a 90-degree turn

00:15:42and then become strangely curved

00:15:44like the letter J.

00:15:46Someone planted them in the early 1930s,

00:15:48but we still don't know

00:15:50how all these trees all have the same curve.

00:15:52A scientist has stated

00:15:54that it looked like a classical reaction

00:15:56to gravity.

00:15:57Plants have a special mechanism

00:15:59that allows them to reorient themselves

00:16:01when the stem is horizontal

00:16:02in relation to gravity.

00:16:04It is therefore possible that these trees

00:16:06were cultivated in this way

00:16:07to make boats or furniture.

00:16:09Of course, human imagination

00:16:11goes far beyond science.

00:16:13Many have thus tried to explain

00:16:15the existence of these trees

00:16:16by telling stories of spirits

00:16:18that possessed these trees

00:16:19or mysterious creatures

00:16:21from space that made them that way.

00:16:23Oh la la, wait for me for the rest,

00:16:24I'm going to get my popcorn.

00:16:27Mushrooms are everywhere.

00:16:33You can see mold on an old lemon.

00:16:39It's a mushroom.

00:16:41You may notice mushrooms

00:16:43on your mattress and on your tile.

00:16:45There are several million species in the world

00:16:48and most of them are still unknown to us.

00:16:50Among the mushrooms that surround us,

00:16:52some are harmless,

00:16:54like those that appear

00:16:55in the corners of your refrigerator.

00:16:57Others can turn a living being into a zombie.

00:17:00It's not fiction, it's reality.

00:17:03Let's go into a forest

00:17:04to see how the cordyceps mushroom

00:17:06transforms the life of some insects

00:17:08into a real nightmare.

00:17:10An almost invisible mushroom spore

00:17:12floats in the air

00:17:14and lands on the back of an ant.

00:17:16It does not notice anything

00:17:18and continues to work

00:17:19for the good of the colony.

00:17:21During this time,

00:17:22the spore enters its body.

00:17:24A few days later,

00:17:25the ant's behavior becomes strange.

00:17:28It trembles, sleeps badly

00:17:30and does not eat enough.

00:17:32The other ants consider it a threat

00:17:34and expel it from the ant nest.

00:17:37And the infected ant can't come back

00:17:39because it can no longer control itself.

00:17:42The mushroom multiplies in itself.

00:17:44It spreads in its body

00:17:46passing through its blood.

00:17:48It slowly takes hold of its nervous system,

00:17:50begins to control its muscles

00:17:52and affects its brain.

00:17:54The cordyceps changes the ant's behavior

00:17:57and it moves against its own will.

00:18:01At this stage, our insect is a zombie.

00:18:04It wanders alone in the forest

00:18:06looking for a height to climb.

00:18:08It can be a bush,

00:18:10a plant or a bush.

00:18:12Then the ant climbs up to 25 cm

00:18:15and grabs the stem with its jaws.

00:18:18It is homeless

00:18:20because it can no longer loosen its jaws.

00:18:23It stays there for several days.

00:18:26During this time,

00:18:27the mushroom feeds on the ant and develops.

00:18:30It comes out of its body on different sides,

00:18:33extends in different directions.

00:18:36Then it grows,

00:18:38rises and releases thousands of spores into the air.

00:18:42It flies through the entire forest,

00:18:44falls into the water,

00:18:45on the leaves,

00:18:46the fur of the animals

00:18:47or the hair of the walkers.

00:18:50On most of its surfaces,

00:18:51the spores do not live long.

00:18:54But some of them will find a host.

00:18:56Some can find themselves in the area

00:18:58where the ants work.

00:19:00And once the mushroom lands on these insects,

00:19:02it all starts again.

00:19:05Now imagine that this little monster evolves

00:19:07and starts attacking people.

00:19:09Scientists have said that this is impossible

00:19:11because the temperature of the human body is too high.

00:19:14But after all,

00:19:15the temperature of the entire planet

00:19:17gradually increases, doesn't it?

00:19:19The mushroom will adapt to warming.

00:19:22And when this happens,

00:19:24tiny spores will be able to penetrate the human body

00:19:26through the ears,

00:19:27the nose and the mouth

00:19:28and pass into the blood.

00:19:30There, it will begin to reproduce

00:19:32and seize the nervous system.

00:19:35The person will have a fever

00:19:36and then hallucinations.

00:19:39Soon, it will lose its mind

00:19:41and will only want one thing,

00:19:42to share the mushroom with other people.

00:19:45If the mushroom can make an ant

00:19:47cling to a leaf with its jaws,

00:19:49it will be able to control people's muscles

00:19:51and even increase their strength.

00:19:54But the infected people will not attack the others.

00:19:57They will climb on the roofs of buildings

00:19:59or in trees

00:20:00and sleep forever.

00:20:02The mushroom, on the other hand,

00:20:04will release its spores.

00:20:06The wind will spread them all over the world.

00:20:09During the first weeks of the infection,

00:20:11while people are not yet sufficiently prepared,

00:20:14the mushrooms will spread quickly

00:20:16and invade the planet.

00:20:18The survivors who have managed to avoid it

00:20:20will hide underground

00:20:21and build bunkers.

00:20:24The gas masks will exchange for huge sums.

00:20:28But once we understand

00:20:29that the survival of humanity

00:20:31is more important than money,

00:20:33the masks will become accessible to everyone.

00:20:36As terrible as it may seem,

00:20:38it's good news.

00:20:39Because it will not be necessary

00:20:41to flee the infected

00:20:42and fight against them.

00:20:44Cities will create quarantine zones.

00:20:47People will live in buildings

00:20:48equipped with powerful ventilation systems

00:20:50and will only go out with masks.

00:20:54The infected people will inform the police

00:20:56calmly and will leave the cities.

00:20:59They will receive food

00:21:00and their loved ones will have the right

00:21:02to stay with them until they fall asleep.

00:21:07There will be mushrooms everywhere in the streets.

00:21:10You will see them grow in colossal quantities

00:21:12on the roofs and walls of buildings.

00:21:15The air will become misty

00:21:16due to the intense concentration

00:21:18of fungal spores.

00:21:21But it will not be dangerous

00:21:22if you have a gas mask.

00:21:25The apocalypse will be rather calm and quiet.

00:21:28However, life will be difficult.

00:21:31Not because of the mushrooms,

00:21:32but because of the people.

00:21:34Maintaining order will be a headache.

00:21:36Chaos will reign over the planet.

00:21:39Thieves and masked thieves

00:21:40will roam everywhere.

00:21:42Getting food will be very laborious.

00:21:45Electricity will not work permanently.

00:21:48Only a few hours a day.

00:21:50But during all this time,

00:21:52the hope of a better future

00:21:53will remain in the hearts of people.

00:21:55Scientists will work relentlessly

00:21:57to create a vaccine

00:21:58and will eventually succeed.

00:22:00But the mushroom will evolve too.

00:22:03Maybe it will beat the vaccine

00:22:04and we will have to create a new one.

00:22:07The mushroom will also try

00:22:09to turn to other carriers.

00:22:11It could be birds,

00:22:12cattle or other animals.

00:22:15Imagine a greenhouse

00:22:16whose horns are covered

00:22:17by a mushroom in full growth.

00:22:20Microorganisms will reign

00:22:22and the population of large creatures will decrease.

00:22:26The mushroom will adapt to water

00:22:28and will begin to infect fish.

00:22:31And soon, the entire planet

00:22:33will turn into a huge mushroom.

00:22:36I'm going to reassure you now.

00:22:37This will not happen.

00:22:38And here's why.

00:22:40Cordyceps have evolved

00:22:41for millions of years

00:22:43to adapt precisely

00:22:44to the cold body of ants.

00:22:48The mushroom can only infect

00:22:50some insects that live in its neighborhood.

00:22:54For example, a cordyceps from Thailand

00:22:56cannot infect an ant from Los Angeles.

00:23:00So we have no reason to fear

00:23:01that it will suddenly attack humans.

00:23:05Evolution is very slow.

00:23:07It is a long and complex process.

00:23:09In addition, the mushroom has no reason

00:23:11to turn to warm-blooded carriers.

00:23:14It is perfectly comfortable with ants

00:23:16and has no problem multiplying.

00:23:19If ants disappeared

00:23:21and humans began to live

00:23:22next to the mushroom,

00:23:23it would certainly evolve.

00:23:26But its genetic change

00:23:27would take thousands,

00:23:28even millions of years.

00:23:30But stay on your guard.

00:23:32There is a type of mushroom

00:23:34that meets all the conditions

00:23:35to be able to infect humans.

00:23:38This is Candida auris.

00:23:41It was discovered in Japan in 2009.

00:23:43Scientists were amazed

00:23:45to find it in a human being.

00:23:47Biologists have stated

00:23:49that this mushroom could evolve

00:23:50due to the increase in temperatures.

00:23:53A few years later,

00:23:54it was found in many countries.

00:23:57Antifungal drugs

00:23:58are not effective against it.

00:24:00Its symptoms are difficult to determine.

00:24:03But the consequences

00:24:04of its infection can be serious,

00:24:06especially in those

00:24:07whose immune system is fragile.

00:24:10Scientists are worried,

00:24:11but are already working on a vaccine.

00:24:15It has helped to defeat

00:24:16the mushroom in mice

00:24:18and we hope to commercialize

00:24:19a vaccine for humans soon.

00:24:22Transmission is done

00:24:23by our secretions,

00:24:24blood, saliva and mucus.

00:24:26Mushrooms make up

00:24:27a separate kingdom on our planet.

00:24:29But they are not all bad.

00:24:31They are essential to life.

00:24:34They enrich the soil

00:24:35with beneficial substances

00:24:36and absorb harmful substances.

00:24:39They allowed plants

00:24:40to get out of the water

00:24:41and adapt to the earth

00:24:43millions of years ago.

00:24:4590% of plants

00:24:46would not survive without mushrooms.

00:24:49These organisms look like

00:24:50huge nets.

00:24:52These networks are called mycelium.

00:24:55We do not see their emerging part,

00:24:57that is, the mushroom.

00:24:59It does not have a unique shape.

00:25:01It can transform,

00:25:02move underground

00:25:03and change direction.

00:25:05We know a lot about this subject,

00:25:07but another video

00:25:08should be devoted to it.

00:25:10In the meantime,

00:25:11mushrooms are delicious

00:25:12when they are sautéed

00:25:13over low heat

00:25:14with onions and butter.

00:25:15Try it!

00:25:21At the beginning of the 20th century,

00:25:23somewhere off the coast of West Africa,

00:25:25a German steamboat

00:25:27left its harbour.

00:25:28Suddenly,

00:25:29the weather suddenly deteriorated

00:25:31and the ship sank

00:25:32in a thick fog.

00:25:34The building collapsed

00:25:35against a sandbank

00:25:36near the shore.

00:25:38Fortunately,

00:25:39no one was injured

00:25:40and the sailors

00:25:41were even able to save

00:25:42their precious cargo.

00:25:43But the boat

00:25:44was definitely stuck.

00:25:46And it was not the only one.

00:25:48Almost the entire length

00:25:49of the west coast of Namibia

00:25:51is called

00:25:52the Skeleton Coast.

00:25:54And if its name seems sinister,

00:25:56it is because it is.

00:25:58This beach,

00:25:59which is 1,570 km long,

00:26:01is one of the most dangerous

00:26:02places on the planet.

00:26:04The local Bushmen tribes

00:26:06maintain the belief

00:26:07that their guardian deity

00:26:09created this land

00:26:11during an accident.

00:26:13The Portuguese

00:26:14were the first Europeans

00:26:15to set foot in Namibia

00:26:17in the 15th century.

00:26:18And no,

00:26:19they did not like

00:26:20the Skeleton Coast either.

00:26:22The Portuguese exporters

00:26:23thought that this land

00:26:24was home to the doors

00:26:25of the underground world.

00:26:27It is the place

00:26:28where the Namibian desert

00:26:29meets the Atlantic Ocean.

00:26:31It may not be

00:26:32well navigated,

00:26:33but it is a magnificent place

00:26:35and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

00:26:39If someone had to promote

00:26:40the Skeleton Coast,

00:26:42they would resign

00:26:43on the first day.

00:26:44The region is not really touristic

00:26:46because of its geography

00:26:48and its history.

00:26:49Under the sand

00:26:50and under the waves,

00:26:51a secret oceanic current

00:26:52haunts the sailors

00:26:53who have no doubt.

00:26:55It is the Bangla Current.

00:26:57It flows north

00:26:58along the South African coast.

00:27:00This part of the Atlantic

00:27:01is rich in marine life,

00:27:03but the desolate land

00:27:04it covers

00:27:05has not really changed.

00:27:07It is this arid climate

00:27:08that created the Namib Desert,

00:27:10one of the driest regions

00:27:11on the planet.

00:27:13And this marine life

00:27:14we just talked about,

00:27:15are sharks.

00:27:16Eleven species,

00:27:17to be precise.

00:27:18And yes,

00:27:19even the great white shark

00:27:20points its nose

00:27:21from time to time.

00:27:23For now,

00:27:24we have a desert landscape,

00:27:25strong currents

00:27:26and sharks.

00:27:28It is certainly not

00:27:29the ideal place

00:27:30for a whaling station.

00:27:31But if someone

00:27:32finds himself

00:27:33on the Skeleton Coast,

00:27:34he will know

00:27:35that he is in great danger.

00:27:36Do not worry,

00:27:37he will realize it

00:27:38by himself.

00:27:40The beach

00:27:41is full of wrecks

00:27:42of all sizes

00:27:43and all origins.

00:27:44If you remember

00:27:45the German ship

00:27:46we talked about

00:27:47at the very beginning,

00:27:48its massive and rusty hull

00:27:49now exceeds

00:27:50the sand of the desert.

00:27:52In total,

00:27:53some 500 wrecks

00:27:54are scattered

00:27:55along the coast.

00:27:57And it is a heteroclite crowd,

00:27:59Portuguese galleons

00:28:00several centuries old

00:28:01to the ships

00:28:02that failed

00:28:03in our time.

00:28:04A modern fishing boat

00:28:05called

00:28:06the Zeila India

00:28:07found a way

00:28:08to escape

00:28:09to its rebar cable

00:28:10in 2008

00:28:11to end up

00:28:12on the Skeleton Coast.

00:28:14Of course,

00:28:15he did not really know

00:28:16how to escape alone

00:28:17and the elements

00:28:18helped him a little.

00:28:19But it is better

00:28:20to be a tourist attraction

00:28:21on the beach

00:28:22than to be dismantled

00:28:23for his ferrari.

00:28:24And that's what

00:28:25initially expected

00:28:26this poor boatman.

00:28:28The most famous resident

00:28:29of the Skeleton Coast

00:28:30is the wreck

00:28:31of the Dunedin Star.

00:28:33This British cargo

00:28:34failed here

00:28:35in 1942.

00:28:37The vast rescue operation

00:28:38that followed

00:28:39reveals why

00:28:40it is so dangerous

00:28:41for sailors

00:28:42to venture here.

00:28:43The rescuers

00:28:44managed to save

00:28:45all the crew members

00:28:46as well as the passengers.

00:28:48But at what cost?

00:28:50A plane and a trailer

00:28:51were lost

00:28:52during the operation

00:28:53and it took

00:28:54two months

00:28:55for the last of the rescuers

00:28:56to return home

00:28:57to Cape

00:28:58in South Africa.

00:28:59Why, you ask?

00:29:00A simple look

00:29:01at a map of the region

00:29:02makes it possible

00:29:03to understand it.

00:29:04It is a huge

00:29:05stretch of yellow,

00:29:06in other words,

00:29:07of sand.

00:29:08There are so few roads here

00:29:09that the Skeleton Coast

00:29:10is almost inaccessible

00:29:11by land.

00:29:12And there are also

00:29:13a few legal obstacles.

00:29:14A special permit

00:29:15is required

00:29:16to drive

00:29:17in the region.

00:29:18But the skeletons

00:29:19that give their name

00:29:20to the area

00:29:21do not only

00:29:22refer to the boats.

00:29:23They also evoke

00:29:24animal bones

00:29:25most of which

00:29:26belonged to whales

00:29:27and seals.

00:29:28Many creatures

00:29:29adapted to the region

00:29:30and that is why

00:29:31lions and hyenas

00:29:32travel along the coast

00:29:33in search of food.

00:29:34And yes,

00:29:35now there are

00:29:36also hungry lions

00:29:37as if they were

00:29:38hungry.

00:29:39But what about

00:29:40the animals?

00:29:41They live

00:29:42as if sharks

00:29:43were not enough.

00:29:44Elephants,

00:29:45cheetahs,

00:29:46leopards

00:29:47and giraffes

00:29:48are other animals

00:29:49that temporarily

00:29:50live at home

00:29:51on the Skeleton Coast.

00:29:52In 1971,

00:29:53the Namibian authorities

00:29:54created

00:29:55a national park there.

00:29:56But apart from

00:29:57surfers

00:29:58addicted to adrenaline,

00:29:59they do not receive

00:30:00many visitors.

00:30:01We can understand

00:30:02why.

00:30:03The Namib Desert

00:30:04is the oldest

00:30:05desert in the world

00:30:06and it is not

00:30:07very touristy either.

00:30:08Those who enter

00:30:09the region

00:30:10must wear

00:30:11sunscreen

00:30:12and a warm

00:30:13winter jacket.

00:30:14A strange

00:30:15combination,

00:30:16isn't it?

00:30:17Well,

00:30:18not so much

00:30:19when you think

00:30:20that during the day

00:30:21the temperatures

00:30:22climb so much

00:30:23up to more than

00:30:2445 degrees

00:30:25and at night

00:30:26the air temperature

00:30:27drops below zero.

00:30:28Real

00:30:29climatic mountaineers.

00:30:30And this is not

00:30:31the last danger.

00:30:32There are

00:30:33still others.

00:30:34Do you remember

00:30:35this German ship

00:30:36that got lost

00:30:37in a thick fog?

00:30:38It was not

00:30:39because of the climate

00:30:40of the region.

00:30:41The fog

00:30:42appears very often.

00:30:43This is what

00:30:44will make a beautiful

00:30:45seagull

00:30:46but this fog

00:30:47is actually beneficial

00:30:48for the fauna.

00:30:49It is the only

00:30:50water source

00:30:51of the Namibian desert.

00:30:52Reptiles

00:30:53and mammals

00:30:54have adapted

00:30:55to this harsh climate

00:30:56and they use

00:30:57as little water as possible.

00:30:58Changing sands,

00:30:59a thick fog,

00:31:00powerful currents,

00:31:01lions

00:31:02and sharks.

00:31:03This is not

00:31:04what you would put

00:31:05forward in a

00:31:06tourist brochure.

00:31:07But the Skeleton Coast

00:31:08is not the only

00:31:09beach on Earth

00:31:10where you really

00:31:11would not want

00:31:12to spend your holidays.

00:31:13We now take you

00:31:14to Cap Tribulation

00:31:15in Australia.

00:31:16This area

00:31:17extends over

00:31:18some 125 square kilometers

00:31:19northwest of the continent

00:31:20in the Queensland region.

00:31:21And no,

00:31:22the region

00:31:23is not as arid

00:31:24as the Skeleton Coast.

00:31:25It is surrounded

00:31:26by the tropical forest

00:31:27of Daintree.

00:31:28We can say

00:31:29that here

00:31:30it is the jungle

00:31:31and not the desert

00:31:32that meets the ocean.

00:31:33Cap Tribulation

00:31:34beach

00:31:35seems to come

00:31:36straight out

00:31:37of a postcard.

00:31:38But appearances

00:31:39can sometimes be

00:31:40misleading.

00:31:41Hmmm,

00:31:42Australia?

00:31:43Sharks,

00:31:44no doubt.

00:31:45Well, no.

00:31:46It is the crocodiles

00:31:47that will take care of you

00:31:48if you decide

00:31:49to go diving

00:31:50in the sea.

00:31:51These are

00:31:52marine crocodiles

00:31:53that the inhabitants

00:31:54call salties.

00:31:55A nice nickname

00:31:56for such a ferocious

00:31:57reptile.

00:31:58And there is more.

00:31:59The local fauna

00:32:00seems to have

00:32:01more teeth

00:32:02than the visitors.

00:32:03From October to June,

00:32:04the waters

00:32:05around Cap Tribulation

00:32:06are full of jellyfish.

00:32:07Their venom

00:32:08affects

00:32:09the human

00:32:10cardiovascular system.

00:32:11When they are

00:32:12bitten by a jellyfish

00:32:13at sea,

00:32:14swimmers

00:32:15do not have time

00:32:16to reach the mainland

00:32:17to receive help.

00:32:18Vinegar, however,

00:32:19helps to neutralize

00:32:20the bite.

00:32:21It is therefore better

00:32:22to keep a bottle

00:32:23at hand.

00:32:24Crocodiles

00:32:25and jellyfish

00:32:26seem dangerous,

00:32:27but there is

00:32:28another animal

00:32:29to watch out for.

00:32:30These are

00:32:31wild boars.

00:32:32It may sound funny,

00:32:33but you will not laugh

00:32:34when you are

00:32:35chased by one

00:32:36of them

00:32:37on the beach.

00:32:38Twenty-one million

00:32:39wild boars

00:32:40live in Australia.

00:32:41They are mostly active

00:32:42at night,

00:32:43which makes the situation

00:32:44even more dangerous

00:32:45when they charge you.

00:32:46The best defense

00:32:47is to turn around.

00:32:48Wild boars

00:32:49do not know how

00:32:50to negotiate

00:32:51turns very well.

00:32:52This is probably

00:32:53why we do not see

00:32:54many of them

00:32:55doing careers

00:32:56in motorsports.

00:32:57Cap Tribulation

00:32:58has one last

00:32:59danger,

00:33:00and this time

00:33:01it is not an animal.

00:33:02Here,

00:33:03even trees

00:33:04can be a threat

00:33:05to intruders.

00:33:06The jimpy jimpy

00:33:07may have a funny name,

00:33:08but if you try

00:33:09to catch

00:33:10one of these

00:33:11beautiful red bears,

00:33:12it will defend itself.

00:33:13Its spikes

00:33:14are like tiny

00:33:15green splashes,

00:33:16and their unpleasant

00:33:17effect on your skin

00:33:18will last

00:33:19more than a month.

00:33:20There is also

00:33:21the bush

00:33:22Wait a while.

00:33:23We wonder

00:33:24who finds

00:33:25all these nuts

00:33:26to lay outside.

00:33:27The long lianas

00:33:28of this climbing palm

00:33:29have spikes

00:33:30that hang easily

00:33:31and do not release anything.

00:33:32They are so robust

00:33:33that they can

00:33:34make a man

00:33:35fall from a horse,

00:33:36and they will have

00:33:37no choice

00:33:38but to wait

00:33:39for someone

00:33:40to come and save him

00:33:41from this

00:33:42spiky situation.

00:33:43If you were about

00:33:44to scratch this

00:33:45Australian beach

00:33:46from your holiday list,

00:33:47wait just a moment.

00:33:48Tourism here

00:33:49is in full swing.

00:33:50Local authorities

00:33:51have restricted

00:33:52access to all

00:33:53dangerous areas,

00:33:54and visitors

00:33:55are invited

00:33:56to bathe

00:33:57in these

00:33:58heavenly waters

00:33:59surrounded

00:34:00by a luxurious

00:34:01vegetation.

00:34:02This is a place

00:34:03where you can

00:34:04finally relax.

00:34:06Dark days

00:34:07are mysterious

00:34:08natural phenomena

00:34:09that have only

00:34:10occurred a few times

00:34:11in the history

00:34:12of mankind.

00:34:13We can consider

00:34:14them as eclipses

00:34:15or simple meteorological

00:34:16phenomena,

00:34:17but in reality

00:34:18they are very scary

00:34:19and we have

00:34:20no idea

00:34:21why

00:34:22they occur.

00:34:23So,

00:34:24what are

00:34:25these dark days

00:34:26after all?

00:34:27What are they

00:34:28so strange about?

00:34:29Let's try

00:34:30to discover them.

00:34:31The sun

00:34:32went down.

00:34:33What are we going to do?

00:34:34This is what the

00:34:35inhabitants of Yamal,

00:34:36in Siberia,

00:34:37asked the meteorologists

00:34:38on September 18, 1938.

00:34:41In the morning,

00:34:42instead of going to work,

00:34:43they all gathered

00:34:44at the meteorological

00:34:45station.

00:34:46They were waiting

00:34:47for answers.

00:34:48All this because

00:34:49that day

00:34:50they observed

00:34:51something inexplicable.

00:34:52An eclipse

00:34:53that they later

00:34:54nicknamed

00:34:55the Dark Day.

00:34:56Neither astronomers

00:34:57nor meteorologists

00:34:58can explain

00:34:59what happened

00:35:00at this time.

00:35:01Here is how

00:35:02one of them

00:35:03described this event.

00:35:04At 8.30 a.m.,

00:35:05we noticed

00:35:06a decrease

00:35:07in light.

00:35:08At the same time,

00:35:09the color of the clouds

00:35:10began to take

00:35:11a brown-yellow hue,

00:35:12or even

00:35:13a brown-red hue.

00:35:14At 9 a.m.,

00:35:15the brightness

00:35:16had changed

00:35:17radically.

00:35:18It was like looking

00:35:19at the world

00:35:20through a dark filter.

00:35:22The brown tones

00:35:23of the clouds

00:35:24intensified.

00:35:25At 10.30 a.m.,

00:35:26the sky and the earth

00:35:27did not differ

00:35:28from each other

00:35:29in terms of brightness

00:35:30and color.

00:35:31Everything seemed

00:35:32homogeneous.

00:35:33Black,

00:35:34absolutely

00:35:35devoid of light.

00:35:37Pretty scary,

00:35:38isn't it?

00:35:39And that's not all.

00:35:40The city

00:35:41was also

00:35:42submerged

00:35:43in a complete

00:35:44radio silence.

00:35:45The meteorologists

00:35:46couldn't even

00:35:47contact the authorities,

00:35:48and the local residents

00:35:49couldn't capture

00:35:50any station.

00:35:51Everyone was

00:35:52in the dark,

00:35:53in their own way

00:35:54and in their own way.

00:35:55The meteorologists

00:35:56decided to try

00:35:57to launch

00:35:58a light rocket.

00:35:59The rockets

00:36:00flew in the air

00:36:01towards the heavy

00:36:02dark clouds

00:36:03hovering over the city

00:36:04and disappeared.

00:36:05The clouds

00:36:06were so dense

00:36:07that the light rockets

00:36:08were completely invisible.

00:36:09On the other hand,

00:36:10the weather

00:36:11was quite pleasant.

00:36:13Everything was calm.

00:36:15And this dark silence

00:36:16lasted about an hour.

00:36:18After that,

00:36:19the black day

00:36:20ended in a way

00:36:21as unexpected

00:36:22as it had started.

00:36:23Even more disconcerting,

00:36:24these strange clouds

00:36:25literally

00:36:26left no trace

00:36:28no rain,

00:36:29no dust,

00:36:30nothing.

00:36:32After this event,

00:36:33the researchers

00:36:34discovered that

00:36:35the black day

00:36:36had spread

00:36:37200 to 250 km

00:36:38around.

00:36:40They also learned

00:36:41that the dark band

00:36:42was moving

00:36:43from west to east.

00:36:44After crossing

00:36:45the southern part

00:36:46of the Yamal Peninsula,

00:36:47it continued

00:36:48its route

00:36:49for a while

00:36:50and then

00:36:51completely disappeared.

00:36:52Yamal is not

00:36:53the only place

00:36:54where this phenomenon

00:36:55occurred.

00:36:56Similar eclipses

00:36:57have occurred

00:36:58in different parts

00:36:59of the Earth

00:37:00for many years.

00:37:01Like in New England,

00:37:02for example.

00:37:03On May 19, 1780,

00:37:04people there

00:37:05witnessed an event

00:37:06that would later be

00:37:07nicknamed

00:37:08the Black Day

00:37:09of New England.

00:37:10But it lasted

00:37:11several days

00:37:12and not just one.

00:37:13A few days

00:37:14before this event,

00:37:15the sky turned yellow.

00:37:16And on May 19,

00:37:17in the middle of the day,

00:37:18it suddenly

00:37:19turned black.

00:37:20Here is what

00:37:21one of the witnesses,

00:37:22Joseph Plumb-Martin,

00:37:23later declared

00:37:24to the press.

00:37:25It was very dark.

00:37:26People had to

00:37:27light candles

00:37:28in their houses

00:37:29to avoid

00:37:30their usual occupations.

00:37:31The night was

00:37:32as unusually dark

00:37:33as the day.

00:37:35A smell of leaves

00:37:36reigned in the air.

00:37:37The nearby rivers

00:37:38were covered

00:37:39with a thin layer

00:37:40of ash.

00:37:41When the night

00:37:42itself arrived,

00:37:43people noticed

00:37:44through the clouds

00:37:45that the moon

00:37:46had turned

00:37:47dark red.

00:37:48Only a few days later,

00:37:49people were finally

00:37:50able to distinguish

00:37:51stars through

00:37:52the cloud veil.

00:37:53Then everything

00:37:54returned to normal.

00:37:55No one had

00:37:56any idea

00:37:57of what had happened.

00:37:5922 years later,

00:38:00on June 2, 1802,

00:38:02a goalet

00:38:03named Eldorado

00:38:04crossed

00:38:05the Pacific Ocean.

00:38:06Suddenly,

00:38:07the crew

00:38:08found themselves

00:38:09plunged into

00:38:10total darkness.

00:38:11There were no storms

00:38:12and the ocean

00:38:13was completely calm.

00:38:14But the entire sky

00:38:15was covered

00:38:16with black clouds.

00:38:17These clouds

00:38:18dissipated

00:38:19after half an hour

00:38:20and left no trace.

00:38:21Then again,

00:38:2284 years later,

00:38:23one of these black waves

00:38:25occurred in Wisconsin

00:38:26on March 19, 1886.

00:38:29It was 3 p.m.

00:38:30and this time

00:38:31the wave was very short.

00:38:33It only lasted

00:38:345 to 10 minutes.

00:38:36Suddenly,

00:38:37a night fell

00:38:38on the city.

00:38:39Horrified horses

00:38:40roared

00:38:41and terrified people

00:38:42ran everywhere

00:38:43trying to find

00:38:44a place to hide.

00:38:45When everything

00:38:46calmed down,

00:38:47local newspapers

00:38:48reported that

00:38:49the wave

00:38:50had passed

00:38:51from west to east.

00:38:52There were no solar eclipses

00:38:53nor winds

00:38:54or hurricanes.

00:38:56Nothing could have caused

00:38:57this darkness on the city.

00:38:59And finally,

00:39:00once again,

00:39:01it happened

00:39:02on December 2, 1904

00:39:03near Memphis.

00:39:05Or rather,

00:39:06that's what the rumor claims

00:39:07since there is

00:39:08almost no scientific evidence

00:39:09of this event.

00:39:11The dawn was clear

00:39:12and cold

00:39:13on Bluff City.

00:39:14People were going

00:39:15to their usual tasks

00:39:16on Friday morning.

00:39:17Then around 9 a.m.,

00:39:18without any sign

00:39:19of a precursor,

00:39:20the sun suddenly

00:39:21disappeared from the sky.

00:39:22It only took a minute

00:39:23for this sunny day

00:39:24to turn into

00:39:25total darkness.

00:39:26People interrupted

00:39:27their work

00:39:28and children in schools

00:39:29were completely terrified.

00:39:31A caretaker

00:39:32clung to a telegraph pole

00:39:33with all his strength

00:39:34too frightened

00:39:35to let go.

00:39:36Everyone started

00:39:37lighting oil lamps

00:39:38and as in the previous cases,

00:39:39the weather

00:39:40was perfectly calm.

00:39:41It lasted

00:39:42about half an hour

00:39:43and then suddenly

00:39:44it was over.

00:39:45A little later,

00:39:46following this mysterious

00:39:47eclipse,

00:39:48a violent storm

00:39:49hit the city.

00:39:50So, what's going on?

00:39:51All these strange cases

00:39:52can surely be explained

00:39:53scientifically,

00:39:54can't they?

00:39:55Well, to be honest,

00:39:56scientists don't have

00:39:57a definitive answer.

00:39:59All these events

00:40:00seem very similar

00:40:01but we don't have

00:40:02a single explanation

00:40:03that could cover them all.

00:40:05Let's take a look

00:40:06at some theories.

00:40:08The first idea

00:40:09that comes to mind

00:40:10is probably

00:40:11a partial or total eclipse.

00:40:13But this is simply

00:40:14not the case.

00:40:15There has been

00:40:16no eclipse these days

00:40:17and even if we consider

00:40:18this theory,

00:40:19before any eclipse,

00:40:20the sky gradually

00:40:21darkens.

00:40:23The eclipses themselves

00:40:24only last a few minutes,

00:40:26certainly not a few hours

00:40:27and even less

00:40:28a few days.

00:40:29Moreover,

00:40:30unlike eclipses,

00:40:31these events

00:40:32seemed to be

00:40:33extremely localized

00:40:34in specific cities.

00:40:35Maybe this is

00:40:36another astronomical event?

00:40:38Some scientists

00:40:39thought that

00:40:40during the Yamal event,

00:40:41a band of cosmic dust

00:40:42had touched the Earth.

00:40:44But later,

00:40:45they deduced

00:40:46that no astronomical body

00:40:47had approached

00:40:48our planet

00:40:49that day.

00:40:51Other ideas?

00:40:52Forest fires

00:40:53could be the cause.

00:40:54When a large area

00:40:55of forest burns at the same time,

00:40:56an air column

00:40:57can rise

00:40:58to impressive heights,

00:40:59from 4,000

00:41:00to 6,000 meters.

00:41:02These air flows

00:41:03transport ashes

00:41:04and other burnt materials

00:41:05to different places.

00:41:07And since all these things

00:41:08are so high in the sky,

00:41:09they simply

00:41:10get stuck there

00:41:11and turn into something

00:41:12that looks like

00:41:13black clouds.

00:41:15This was probably the case

00:41:16for New England.

00:41:17At this time,

00:41:18a wave of forest fires

00:41:19was declared in Canada.

00:41:21They could easily have spread

00:41:22to the north of the United States.

00:41:24And then,

00:41:25you just have to hear

00:41:26this description.

00:41:27A yellow sky,

00:41:28a smell of ash,

00:41:29ashes on the water.

00:41:31Everything seems to agree.

00:41:33But this fire theory

00:41:34only works

00:41:35for the event

00:41:36that happened in New England.

00:41:38What about other cases?

00:41:40Where would you find

00:41:41a forest fire

00:41:42in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,

00:41:43for example?

00:41:44Well, let's move on.

00:41:45Scientists have tried

00:41:46to explain

00:41:47Memphis' story

00:41:48by saying

00:41:49it could have been

00:41:50a hurricane.

00:41:51But the black cloud

00:41:52swept the city

00:41:53before the storm.

00:41:54Not during

00:41:55or after.

00:41:57And it wasn't

00:41:58a typical storm cloud.

00:41:59It was an entire

00:42:00black night.

00:42:02So,

00:42:03what really happened?

00:42:05Meteorologists

00:42:06call this phenomenon

00:42:07a local decrease

00:42:08in atmospheric transparency.

00:42:12Unlike solar eclipses,

00:42:13this darkness

00:42:14is denser.

00:42:15It also covers

00:42:16only a small area.

00:42:18Atmospheric transparency

00:42:19is its ability

00:42:20to let light

00:42:21through.

00:42:22Basically,

00:42:23this means

00:42:24how far

00:42:25can I see

00:42:26distant objects?

00:42:27Everything can become

00:42:28dark and blurry,

00:42:29for example,

00:42:30because of dust in the air,

00:42:31volcanic eruptions,

00:42:32fog, etc.

00:42:35So,

00:42:36according to this theory,

00:42:37dark days

00:42:38are only

00:42:39an extreme decrease

00:42:40in atmospheric transparency.

00:42:41But this still

00:42:42seems strange.

00:42:43If this was the case,

00:42:44shouldn't everything

00:42:45have been covered

00:42:46by a thick fog

00:42:47or something like that?

00:42:49Of course,

00:42:50it was very dark.

00:42:51But when people

00:42:52lit their lamps,

00:42:53the visibility

00:42:54was pretty good.

00:42:55Nothing obscured

00:42:56the view,

00:42:57except for these

00:42:58black clouds

00:42:59covering the sky.

00:43:00In other words,

00:43:01this phenomenon

00:43:02is very difficult

00:43:03to explain.

00:43:04As far as we know,

00:43:05it only happened

00:43:065 or 6 times

00:43:07in the history

00:43:08of mankind.

00:43:09If there were other cases,

00:43:10they were not documented.

00:43:11This phenomenon

00:43:12is impossible to predict,

00:43:13and no one knows

00:43:14how it works,

00:43:15nor where and how

00:43:16it will happen

00:43:17next time.

00:43:18And,

00:43:19although there are

00:43:20many hypotheses,

00:43:21none of them

00:43:22can be verified.

00:43:23Maybe if these events

00:43:24happen again in the future,

00:43:25we will be able

00:43:26to study them better.

00:43:27But unfortunately,

00:43:28for now,

00:43:29dark days

00:43:30remain a mystery.

00:43:32Do you have theories

00:43:33or ideas about this?

00:43:34If so,

00:43:35do not hesitate

00:43:36to share them

00:43:37in the comments.

00:43:38The theory of parallel worlds

00:43:39has been the subject

00:43:40of debate

00:43:41among scientists

00:43:42for a long time.

00:43:43Unfortunately,

00:43:44we are not yet

00:43:45advanced enough

00:43:46to prove it,

00:43:47no more than

00:43:48to refute it.

00:43:49But it remains

00:43:50an interesting theory,

00:43:51and that is why

00:43:52we have many

00:43:53singular urban legends

00:43:54about these guests

00:43:55of an alternative reality

00:43:56that many people

00:43:57believe in.

00:43:58Let's take a look

00:43:59at some of them.

00:44:00A man

00:44:01from a non-existent country.

00:44:04This story

00:44:05takes place in 1851

00:44:06in a small German village,

00:44:07Frankfurt-sur-Loder.

00:44:09A lost man

00:44:10came to ask for help

00:44:11from the villagers

00:44:12in the neighborhood.

00:44:14The man

00:44:15was called

00:44:16Joffar Vorin.

00:44:17He spoke very poorly

00:44:18German

00:44:19and spoke

00:44:20with a strong accent.

00:44:22The man

00:44:23himself claimed

00:44:24that he spoke

00:44:25the Laxar and the Abram,

00:44:26languages that do not

00:44:27really exist

00:44:28in our world.

00:44:30He claimed

00:44:31to come from Laxaria,

00:44:32a country

00:44:33on the continent

00:44:34of Sakria,

00:44:35separated from Europe

00:44:36by a huge ocean.

00:44:38However,

00:44:39none of these places

00:44:40existed on our maps.

00:44:43People

00:44:44entrusted Joffar

00:44:45to the local authorities.

00:44:46He spoke

00:44:47to a psychiatrist,

00:44:48but the doctor

00:44:49concluded that the man

00:44:50was totally sane.

00:44:52An investigation

00:44:53by the local police

00:44:54also did not reveal

00:44:55any suspicions

00:44:56about him.

00:44:57Joffar Vorin

00:44:58claimed

00:44:59that the purpose

00:45:00of his visit to Europe

00:45:01was to find his brother,

00:45:02lost for a long time.

00:45:03He had survived

00:45:04a shipwreck

00:45:05and had found himself

00:45:06near the village.

00:45:07He was given a map

00:45:08of the world

00:45:09as well as a globe,

00:45:10and he was asked

00:45:11to indicate

00:45:12the place

00:45:13where his ship sank.

00:45:14But he did not recognize

00:45:15any relatives.

00:45:16He seemed to have

00:45:17a deep knowledge

00:45:18of his original world.

00:45:19Joffar was able

00:45:20to name

00:45:21the five main continents

00:45:22Sakria,

00:45:23Aflar,

00:45:24Astar,

00:45:25Oslar

00:45:26and Eplar.

00:45:28His story

00:45:29was considered plausible.

00:45:30The scientists

00:45:31of Frankfurt

00:45:32decided to send him

00:45:33to Berlin

00:45:34for more in-depth research.

00:45:35However,

00:45:36he seemed to have

00:45:37a kind of crisis.

00:45:38The man

00:45:39suddenly jumped out

00:45:40of the car

00:45:41and disappeared

00:45:42in the surrounding forest.

00:45:43Despite a long

00:45:44and meticulous search,

00:45:45no trace of Joffar

00:45:46was found.

00:45:47He seemed to have

00:45:48disappeared

00:45:49as mysteriously

00:45:50as he had appeared.

00:45:52The food inspector

00:45:53in charge

00:45:54of escorting him

00:45:55to Berlin

00:45:56thought

00:45:57that this man

00:45:58could indeed

00:45:59come from another world

00:46:00and that he had returned

00:46:01from where he had come.

00:46:03A lady

00:46:04on Route 167

00:46:05took him there.

00:46:07This incident

00:46:08occurred on October 20, 1969.

00:46:11It was reported

00:46:12for the first time

00:46:13in 1988

00:46:14in the magazine

00:46:15Strange.

00:46:17The article

00:46:18tells the story

00:46:19of two men,

00:46:20LC

00:46:21and his business partner

00:46:22Charlie.

00:46:23These are the names.

00:46:24One afternoon,

00:46:25LC and Charlie

00:46:26were driving on Route 167

00:46:27in the southwest

00:46:28of Louisiana.

00:46:29While discussing

00:46:30their work,

00:46:31they headed

00:46:32to the Fayette

00:46:33Oil Refinery.

00:46:34At first,

00:46:35the highway was empty,

00:46:36but the men

00:46:37then noticed

00:46:38a very old

00:46:39and extremely slow

00:46:40car in front of them.

00:46:42The two men

00:46:43began to discuss

00:46:44this strange car.

00:46:45Such cars

00:46:46had not been produced

00:46:47for several decades,

00:46:48but this one

00:46:49looked brand new.

00:46:50They assumed

00:46:51that its owner

00:46:52must have taken

00:46:53particular care of it,

00:46:54and they were not tired

00:46:55of admiring it.

00:46:56They slowed down

00:46:57to better see the car.

00:46:58LC noticed

00:46:59a bright orange badge

00:47:00on which

00:47:01it was written

00:47:021940.

00:47:03The driver

00:47:04then noticed

00:47:05it was a young woman

00:47:06dressed as an old woman,

00:47:07a hat decorated

00:47:08with a long feather

00:47:09and a fur coat,

00:47:10although it was

00:47:11quite hot outside.

00:47:12There was a child

00:47:13next to her,

00:47:14also dressed

00:47:15in a coat

00:47:16and a headscarf.

00:47:17LC and Charlie

00:47:18wanted to talk to her,

00:47:19but they then

00:47:20noticed

00:47:21the expression

00:47:22on her face.

00:47:23The woman

00:47:24looked around her,

00:47:25panicked,

00:47:26almost at the edge

00:47:27of tears.

00:47:28LC called her

00:47:29and asked her

00:47:30if she needed help.

00:47:31She nodded

00:47:32and told her

00:47:33to get out

00:47:34of the way.

00:47:35But when the men

00:47:36also stopped,

00:47:37they suddenly noticed

00:47:38that the woman's car

00:47:39had disappeared.

00:47:40They looked

00:47:41all around them

00:47:42in shock.

00:47:43She couldn't have

00:47:44gone that far

00:47:45in such a short time.

00:47:46But the car

00:47:47was nowhere to be found.

00:47:48After a while,

00:47:49another man

00:47:50arrived in the car

00:47:51with Charlie and LC.

00:47:52He had seen

00:47:53everything that had happened

00:47:54and said

00:47:55that the car

00:47:56had simply

00:47:57volatilized.

00:47:58The men

00:47:59discussed the incident

00:48:00for several hours.

00:48:01When they arrived

00:48:02in the city,

00:48:03they contacted

00:48:04the authorities.

00:48:05However,

00:48:06the police

00:48:07could not

00:48:08help them.

00:48:09Apart from their words,

00:48:10there was no confirmation

00:48:11of the existence

00:48:12of this car.

00:48:13The case

00:48:14was debated

00:48:15for a while

00:48:16in local newspapers

00:48:17before being forgotten.

00:48:18The incident

00:48:19of the Canyon

00:48:20in Gadianton

00:48:21This incident

00:48:22occurred in May 1972

00:48:23in the southeast

00:48:24of Utah,

00:48:25near the level crossing

00:48:26of Modena

00:48:27at the edge

00:48:28of the Desert

00:48:29of Escalante.

00:48:30Charlie Norse

00:48:31was driving

00:48:32his father's

00:48:33Chevrolet Nova

00:48:341971.

00:48:35His friend,

00:48:36Carol Abbott,

00:48:37was in the passenger seat.

00:48:38There were two other girls

00:48:39on the back seat,

00:48:40Lisa Rochefort

00:48:41and Bethany Gordon.

00:48:42It was past

00:48:4310 p.m.

00:48:44when they crossed

00:48:45the border

00:48:46between Utah

00:48:47and Nevada.

00:48:48They wanted to go

00:48:49to campus

00:48:50before their supervisor,

00:48:51Mrs. Mortensen,

00:48:52locked the doors

00:48:53of the dormitory.

00:48:54This portion

00:48:55of Route 56

00:48:56in Utah

00:48:57is rather deserted.

00:48:58There is nothing

00:48:59to eat

00:49:00and a few plants.

00:49:01The girls were relieved

00:49:02when they finally noticed

00:49:03the level crossing

00:49:04of the Pacific Union

00:49:05in Modena.

00:49:06But just behind

00:49:07the rampart,

00:49:08Jenna noticed

00:49:09two roads.

00:49:10One was going

00:49:11into the desert

00:49:12and the other

00:49:13into the Canyon

00:49:14of Gadianton.

00:49:15The girls decided

00:49:16to take the road

00:49:17towards the Canyon.

00:49:18They thought

00:49:19it could be

00:49:20a shortcut

00:49:21to campus.

00:49:22The other girls

00:49:23were talking

00:49:24to each other

00:49:25when Jenna

00:49:26noticed

00:49:27that she was

00:49:29The road

00:49:30ended abruptly

00:49:31on a high

00:49:32rocky wall.

00:49:33It was a dead end.

00:49:34She had no choice

00:49:35but to go back.

00:49:36And while Jenna's

00:49:37friends were already

00:49:38complaining

00:49:39that they would

00:49:40have to sleep

00:49:41in the car,

00:49:42Jenna noticed

00:49:43that the landscape

00:49:44had radically changed.

00:49:45She was no longer

00:49:46in a desert.

00:49:47Instead,

00:49:48the Canyon

00:49:49had turned

00:49:50into a vast area

00:49:51covered with wheat fields,

00:49:52pine forests

00:49:53and even

00:49:54a small lake.

00:49:55The full moon

00:49:56was shining in the sky,

00:49:57which was strange

00:49:58because she shouldn't

00:49:59have been there

00:50:00that night.

00:50:01The girls

00:50:02had no idea

00:50:03where they were.

00:50:04So,

00:50:05they simply

00:50:06drove towards

00:50:07the light

00:50:08they could see

00:50:09in the distance.

00:50:10It was a building

00:50:11they thought

00:50:12to be a restaurant

00:50:13or a highway.

00:50:14They saw

00:50:15a bright sign,

00:50:16but none of them

00:50:17could read

00:50:18what was

00:50:19written on it.

00:50:20These symbols

00:50:21did not look

00:50:22like any language

00:50:23they knew.

00:50:24Suddenly,

00:50:25several people

00:50:26stood up

00:50:27and shouted something,

00:50:28but the girls

00:50:29did not understand them.

00:50:30Lisa decided

00:50:31to ask her way

00:50:32to these men.

00:50:33She looked

00:50:34through the window

00:50:35and immediately

00:50:36shouted

00:50:37a scream of terror.

00:50:38« Let's get out of here ! »

00:50:39she shouted to Jenna.

00:50:40The Chevrolet

00:50:41moved away

00:50:42from the building

00:50:43in a trance.

00:50:44Bright headlights

00:50:45illuminated

00:50:46their car

00:50:47from behind.

00:50:48They were followed

00:50:49by a few vehicles.

00:50:50These had the shape

00:50:51of two,

00:50:52only three wheels

00:50:53and seemed to be

00:50:54muddy.

00:50:56Jenna

00:50:57did not have time

00:50:58to slow down

00:50:59and went in

00:51:00full speed.

00:51:01The vehicles

00:51:02had disappeared

00:51:03at the same time

00:51:04as this unknown landscape.

00:51:05The girls

00:51:06were again

00:51:07in the desert.

00:51:08Fortunately,

00:51:09none of them

00:51:10were injured,

00:51:11at least physically.

00:51:12But Lisa

00:51:13was in shock.

00:51:14She kept saying

00:51:15they were not human.

00:51:16Her friends

00:51:17had to help her walk.

00:51:18An hour later,

00:51:19they managed

00:51:20to stop

00:51:21a police patrol car.

00:51:22They told them

00:51:23their story.

00:51:24The details of the report

00:51:25compiled by the police officer

00:51:26were complicated

00:51:27and confusing.

00:51:28During the investigation,

00:51:29the police officers

00:51:30could not determine

00:51:31on the basis

00:51:32of the tire tracks

00:51:33the exact place

00:51:34where the car

00:51:35had stopped.

00:51:36The tracks

00:51:37ended very abruptly,

00:51:38as if the Chevrolet

00:51:39had suddenly disappeared.

00:51:40The police

00:51:41could not explain

00:51:42how the car

00:51:43had been able to travel

00:51:44three kilometers

00:51:45without leaving

00:51:46the slightest trace,

00:51:47especially on such a ground.

00:51:48There is still

00:51:49material to discuss

00:51:50about this story,

00:51:51but in the end,

00:51:52all the explanations

00:51:53of what could have happened

00:51:54are only suppositions.

00:51:55Perhaps we will never

00:51:56discover the truth.

00:51:57Here are some

00:51:58urban legends

00:51:59about these interdimensional

00:52:00journeys.

00:52:01Of course,

00:52:02there is no proof

00:52:03that any of these stories

00:52:04are true.

00:52:05Often,

00:52:06the truth

00:52:07turns out to be

00:52:08very banal.

00:52:09For example,

00:52:10the famous man

00:52:11from Toread,

00:52:12whose legend

00:52:13also said

00:52:14that he came

00:52:15from another world,

00:52:16turned out to be

00:52:17just a simple spy

00:52:18named John Allen

00:52:19Couchard Zegrus.

00:52:20But even so,

00:52:21these stories

00:52:22remain

00:52:23always so interesting.

00:52:24On August 2, 1996,

00:52:25huge mysterious drawings

00:52:26appeared

00:52:27in a farm

00:52:28in Chisholm,

00:52:29England.

00:52:30No one knew

00:52:31what these symbols

00:52:32were

00:52:33and who the author

00:52:34was.

00:52:35As soon as

00:52:36the newspapers

00:52:37talked about it,

00:52:38the inhabitants

00:52:39immediately

00:52:40began to make

00:52:41assumptions.

00:52:42According to

00:52:43the most popular version,

00:52:44it was

00:52:45the message

00:52:46of an extraterrestrial

00:52:47civilization.

00:52:48The first

00:52:49agroglyphs

00:52:50appeared

00:52:51in the 1970s

00:52:52in different regions

00:52:53of the United States

00:52:54and England.

00:52:55Some people

00:52:56compare these symbols

00:52:57to the inscriptions

00:52:58of the ancient Mayans.

00:52:59Others thought

00:53:00that they were

00:53:01messages

00:53:02relating to

00:53:03an imminent apocalypse.

00:53:04But most agreed

00:53:05that they were

00:53:06the facts

00:53:07of an unknown civilization.

00:53:08This geographical motif

00:53:09in Chisholm

00:53:10is, however,

00:53:11different from the others

00:53:12due to an event

00:53:13that happened

00:53:14eight years later.

00:53:15In 2004,

00:53:16a man found

00:53:17a strange stone

00:53:1817 km from Roswell

00:53:19in New Mexico.

00:53:21There was on the stone

00:53:22the same motif

00:53:23as in the field

00:53:24of Chisholm.

00:53:26You should know

00:53:27that Roswell

00:53:28became a famous place

00:53:29after the crash

00:53:30supposed to be

00:53:31a spaceship

00:53:32from another planet.

00:53:34So,

00:53:35when the farmer

00:53:36found this stone

00:53:37and published a photo

00:53:38on the Internet,

00:53:39many people

00:53:40thought

00:53:41that it had

00:53:42a connection

00:53:43with this spaceship.

00:53:44The stone

00:53:45was perfectly smooth

00:53:46and the motif

00:53:47was drawn

00:53:48with extraordinary

00:53:49precision.

00:53:50The stone

00:53:51had magnetic properties.

00:53:52It turned

00:53:53in the opposite direction

00:53:54of a watch's hands

00:53:55when a magnet

00:53:56was placed

00:53:57to the north.

00:53:58When a magnet

00:53:59was placed

00:54:00to the south,

00:54:01the stone

00:54:02turned in the other direction.

00:54:03Thanks to the tomographic

00:54:04analysis

00:54:05and X-rays,

00:54:06we could see

00:54:07that nothing

00:54:08inside the stone

00:54:09could cause

00:54:10this rotation.

00:54:11It was just

00:54:12a piece of smooth rock.

00:54:13Did Roswell's stone

00:54:14really come from

00:54:15a spaceship?

00:54:16To answer this question,

00:54:17we have to go

00:54:18back to 1776.

00:54:19An artist

00:54:20named Doug Bower

00:54:21suggested

00:54:22to his friend

00:54:23Dave Chorley

00:54:24to create

00:54:25a spectacular

00:54:26work of art.

00:54:27At that time,

00:54:28we only knew

00:54:29about agroglyphs

00:54:30through books

00:54:31and records.

00:54:32And of course,

00:54:33the reality

00:54:34of this phenomenon

00:54:35had never been

00:54:36scientifically confirmed.

00:54:37The two friends

00:54:38knew that

00:54:39all this

00:54:40was just superstition.

00:54:41They decided

00:54:42to draw

00:54:43a large motif

00:54:44in a wheat field

00:54:45of the Wildshire.

00:54:46They didn't expect

00:54:47their drawings

00:54:48to attract

00:54:49so much attention.

00:54:50A large number

00:54:51of newspapers

00:54:52published articles

00:54:53about these mysterious circles.

00:54:54Hundreds of journalists

00:54:55came to film them

00:54:56and people were

00:54:57stunned

00:54:58in front of their televisions.

00:54:59From there,

00:55:00agroglyphs

00:55:01became

00:55:02a real cultural phenomenon.

00:55:03By mixing

00:55:04facts and fiction,

00:55:05we give birth

00:55:06to more and more

00:55:07unbelievable legends.

00:55:08One person

00:55:09declared

00:55:10to have seen

00:55:11mysterious lights

00:55:12in the sky

00:55:13just above the circles.

00:55:14And our two friends

00:55:15continued

00:55:16to draw motifs

00:55:17in fields

00:55:18and revealed

00:55:19their secrets

00:55:20only in 2009.

00:55:21They were also

00:55:22the authors

00:55:23of Schieffeldon's drawing.

00:55:24But it had nothing

00:55:25to do with

00:55:26Roswell's stone.

00:55:27They later

00:55:28claimed

00:55:29it could only

00:55:30be a fake.

00:55:31Other artists

00:55:32could have copied

00:55:33their motifs

00:55:34using

00:55:35adequate tools.

00:55:36One of the most

00:55:37mysterious books

00:55:38in the world

00:55:39is Voynich's manuscript.

00:55:40Nobody knows

00:55:41who the author is,

00:55:42but we know

00:55:43it dates

00:55:44from the 15th century.

00:55:45The content of this book,

00:55:46composed of 240 pages,

00:55:48has remained a mystery

00:55:49for more than 500 years.

00:55:51Imagine that!

00:55:53Everything was written

00:55:54by hand

00:55:55in an unknown language.

00:55:57Almost all the pages

00:55:58are decorated

00:55:59with strange

00:56:00feminine representations

00:56:01and bizarre plants.

00:56:03The book,

00:56:04which was discovered

00:56:05in 1912,

00:56:06immediately made a sensation.

00:56:09Many scientists,

00:56:10polyglots and historians

00:56:11tried to decipher

00:56:12its language

00:56:13and understand

00:56:14its meaning.

00:56:15They then

00:56:16published it online

00:56:17so that the Internet

00:56:18could solve

00:56:19its mysteries.

00:56:20And it seems

00:56:21that a certain

00:56:22Nicolas Gibbs,

00:56:23a historian and writer,

00:56:24succeeded.

00:56:25He had spent years

00:56:26studying Latin

00:56:27and medieval literature.

00:56:29Gibbs noticed

00:56:30one day

00:56:31that the manuscript

00:56:32contained Latin abbreviations,

00:56:33often used

00:56:34in medical treatises

00:56:35and medieval literature.

00:56:37He even discovered

00:56:38that the book

00:56:39was a plagiarism

00:56:40of other

00:56:41older reference books.

00:56:42He compared

00:56:43Voynich's manuscript

00:56:44to other manuscripts

00:56:45and found

00:56:46the same Latin words

00:56:47in many places.

00:56:48His conclusion

00:56:49was that it was

00:56:50a medical treatise

00:56:51on women's health

00:56:52and that these

00:56:53mysterious flowers

00:56:54were real herbs

00:56:55and plants.

00:56:56But it wasn't

00:56:57that simple.

00:56:58Nicolas Gibbs

00:56:59was far from being

00:57:00the only one

00:57:01to have advanced

00:57:02this theory.

00:57:03Many scientists

00:57:04considered

00:57:05his version

00:57:06to be banal

00:57:07and unconvincing.

00:57:08Other decipherers

00:57:09claimed

00:57:10that the author

00:57:11was a real cryptographer.

00:57:12The manuscript

00:57:13had been written

00:57:14by Dominican monks.

00:57:15It was also described

00:57:16as a book

00:57:17on astrology

00:57:18and medicinal plants.

00:57:19Anyway,

00:57:20you can find

00:57:21high-quality scans

00:57:22on the internet

00:57:23and try to

00:57:24decipher it yourself.

00:57:25Imagine

00:57:26that you are

00:57:27walking around

00:57:28New York

00:57:29and you enter

00:57:30a dark

00:57:31and deserted street.

00:57:32At one point,

00:57:33you see

00:57:34a magnificent canvas

00:57:35that protrudes

00:57:36from a trash can.

00:57:37You don't really understand

00:57:38what is represented there,

00:57:39but you still think

00:57:40that it is

00:57:41a magnificent work of art.

00:57:42You bring the canvas

00:57:43back home

00:57:44and hang it

00:57:45on your wall.

00:57:46And it stays there

00:57:47for almost four years.

00:57:48One day,

00:57:49you publish a picture

00:57:50of your painting

00:57:51on a website

00:57:52dedicated to art objects

00:57:53and you discover

00:57:54that this painting

00:57:55is a masterpiece

00:57:56that has disappeared

00:57:57from a value

00:57:58of one million dollars.

00:57:59It's a true story.

00:58:00It happened

00:58:01to a New Yorker

00:58:02in 2003.

00:58:03This painting

00:58:04called

00:58:05Three Persons

00:58:06was painted

00:58:07in 1970

00:58:08by the famous

00:58:09Mexican artist

00:58:10Leonardo da Vinci.

00:58:11The auctioneer

00:58:12had bought it

00:58:13and given it to his wife.

00:58:14But in 1989,

00:58:15someone stole the painting

00:58:16while he was moving

00:58:17to their new house.

00:58:18The thief

00:58:19may not have liked

00:58:20the paintings

00:58:21or it is possible

00:58:22that he did not find

00:58:23a buyer

00:58:24and that he simply

00:58:25got rid of it.

00:58:26The woman

00:58:27who found it

00:58:28gave the painting

00:58:29to her owner

00:58:30and received

00:58:31a reward

00:58:32of 15,000 dollars.

00:58:33It often happens

00:58:34that paintings

00:58:35end up in the trash.

00:58:36Van Gogh

00:58:37often offered his works

00:58:38but those who received them

00:58:39did not like them

00:58:40at the time.

00:58:41When some of these paintings

00:58:42were found

00:58:43years later,

00:58:44they were estimated

00:58:45to be worth

00:58:46tens of millions of euros.

00:58:47For example,

00:58:48the artist

00:58:49had given

00:58:50one of his portraits

00:58:51to his doctor.

00:58:52He was horrified

00:58:53by the painter's

00:58:54too modern style.

00:58:55It was perhaps

00:58:56the red hair

00:58:57that he did not like.

00:58:58He gave the portrait

00:58:59to his mother

00:59:00who found it useful.

00:59:01She made a hole

00:59:02in her chicken coop

00:59:03with the painting.

00:59:04For more than 10 years,

00:59:05the chickens of this lady

00:59:06lived with the work of art.

00:59:07Then,

00:59:08he bought it

00:59:09from the doctor

00:59:10for a few cents.

00:59:11Today,

00:59:12it is estimated

00:59:13to be worth

00:59:1450 million dollars.

00:59:15Something similar

00:59:16happened to a work of art

00:59:17put up for auction

00:59:18in Italy.

00:59:19A gardener

00:59:20worked at the

00:59:21Ritchie Audy

00:59:22Museum of Modern Art.

00:59:23By cutting

00:59:24the walls of the building,

00:59:25he discovered

00:59:26an old hidden

00:59:27metal door.

00:59:28He opened it

00:59:29and entered

00:59:30a dark room.

00:59:31There was

00:59:32a trash bag

00:59:33there.

00:59:34The gardener

00:59:35thought he should throw it away

00:59:36but he decided

00:59:37to look inside

00:59:38and he found

00:59:39the lost work

00:59:40of the famous artist

00:59:41Gustav Klimt.

00:59:42During the renovation

00:59:43of the gallery

00:59:44in 1997,

00:59:45someone had stolen

00:59:46the painting

00:59:47called

00:59:48Portrait of a Lady

00:59:49and it turned out

00:59:50that the thief

00:59:51had never taken it

00:59:52out of the building.

00:59:53Its value

00:59:54is estimated

00:59:55to be 66 million euros.

00:59:56In 1901,

00:59:57sea sponge fishermen

00:59:58discovered

00:59:59a mysterious chest

01:00:00in the Greek

01:00:01seabed.

01:00:02There was

01:00:03a strange object

01:00:04inside,

01:00:05a kind of mechanical

01:00:06object

01:00:07of the size

01:00:08of a shoebox.

01:00:09The discovery

01:00:10quickly attracted

01:00:11the attention

01:00:12of archaeologists

01:00:13and they established

01:00:14that this object

01:00:15had been created

01:00:16in Ancient Greece

01:00:17about 2,200 years ago.

01:00:18They called it

01:00:19the Denticitare

01:00:20mechanism.

01:00:21It is now

01:00:22at the National

01:00:23Archaeological

01:00:24Museum of Athens.

01:00:25Experts

01:00:26have found

01:00:27that this object

01:00:28only contains

01:00:2982 pieces,

01:00:30one third

01:00:31of the original

01:00:32mechanism.

01:00:33We still don't know

01:00:34who created it

01:00:35but experts

01:00:36think it was

01:00:37a mechanical computer

01:00:38equipped with

01:00:39a bronze gear.

01:00:40It would have been

01:00:41used for astronomical

01:00:42calculations.

01:00:43The machine

01:00:44could record

01:00:45the movements

01:00:46of the Sun,

01:00:47the Moon

01:00:48and five planets

01:00:49in the solar system.

01:00:50Experts are still

01:00:51trying to understand

01:00:52all the functionalities.

01:00:53It is considered

01:00:54to be the oldest

01:00:55computer in the world.

01:00:56This proves that

01:00:57the technological development

01:00:58of Antiquity

01:00:59was much more

01:01:00advanced

01:01:01than we

01:01:02generally think.

01:01:06There are many doors

01:01:07around the world

01:01:08that don't have keys.

01:01:09Maybe you will find

01:01:10a way to open them.

01:01:11Our first destination

01:01:12is...

01:01:13OK, read it yourself

01:01:14and good luck

01:01:15with the pronunciation.

01:01:16It is a temple

01:01:17in India

01:01:18whose name

01:01:19comes from

01:01:20this other extremely

01:01:21long word

01:01:22that translates

01:01:23as

01:01:24the one

01:01:25that emerges

01:01:26from the lotus.

01:01:27This temple

01:01:28is one of the most

01:01:29famous and

01:01:30sacred places

01:01:31in India.

01:01:32It is one of the

01:01:33108 temples

01:01:34that left

01:01:35the first traces

01:01:36in Tamil texts

01:01:37of the 6th century.

01:01:38Let's go back

01:01:39to our time.

01:01:40In 2011,

01:01:41following a complaint,

01:01:42the Indian Supreme Court

01:01:43decided to review

01:01:44the valuables

01:01:45kept in the temple

01:01:46because they had been

01:01:47informed that the place

01:01:48could have been

01:01:49abusively exploited.

01:01:50To do this,

01:01:51they had to open

01:01:52all these doors

01:01:53that had been

01:01:54closed for centuries.

01:01:55The Commission

01:01:56thus discovered

01:01:57six gigantic

01:01:58secret caves

01:01:59in which

01:02:00invaluable treasures

01:02:01were hidden.

01:02:02By opening these caves,

01:02:03they discovered

01:02:04gold statuettes,

01:02:05necklaces

01:02:06and pieces

01:02:07for a total value

01:02:08of at least

01:02:0923 billion euros.

01:02:10The officers also

01:02:11discovered ceremonial

01:02:12costumes,

01:02:13gold-encrusted

01:02:14coconut shells

01:02:15and large diamonds.

01:02:16When I say

01:02:17large diamonds,

01:02:18I mean

01:02:19really large diamonds.

01:02:20Some of these precious

01:02:21stones reach

01:02:22110 carats.

01:02:23To give you an idea,

01:02:24a small gold statuette

01:02:25from this collection

01:02:26has an estimated value

01:02:27of about

01:02:2831 million euros.

01:02:29After this discovery

01:02:30worthy of a

01:02:31thousand and one night

01:02:32tale,

01:02:33the temple

01:02:34was equipped with

01:02:35metal detectors,

01:02:36cameras

01:02:37and other security

01:02:38equipment

01:02:39before the arrival

01:02:40of the first visitors.

01:02:41The temple

01:02:42is now encircled

01:02:43by many security

01:02:44agents.

01:02:45But do they

01:02:46protect the treasure

01:02:47or is there

01:02:48something even

01:02:49more mysterious

01:02:50in this temple?

01:02:51There are six caves

01:02:52in the temple.

01:02:53This is where

01:02:54the treasure is stored.

01:02:55These caves

01:02:56have names

01:02:57from A to F.

01:02:58But the research

01:02:59committee

01:03:00has discovered

01:03:01six caves

01:03:02with many difficulties.

01:03:03The strangest thing

01:03:04is that despite

01:03:05all the efforts

01:03:06involved in the

01:03:07use of the

01:03:08most recent

01:03:09technologies,

01:03:10cave B

01:03:11could not be opened.

01:03:12Two cobras

01:03:13are sculpted

01:03:14on the door

01:03:15and are there

01:03:16to welcome you.

01:03:17This door

01:03:18acts as a portal.

01:03:19You can easily

01:03:20see it,

01:03:21like the doors

01:03:22that lead

01:03:23to the other caves.

01:03:24Surprise!

01:03:25The experts

01:03:26discovered

01:03:27two other doors

01:03:28behind the first.

01:03:29The first

01:03:30is made of wood

01:03:31and the third

01:03:32is made of iron.

01:03:33Surprisingly,

01:03:34the last door

01:03:35is locked

01:03:36and has no

01:03:37characteristic

01:03:38of a door.

01:03:39No hinges,

01:03:40handles,

01:03:41locks,

01:03:42or anything else.

01:03:43No one knows

01:03:44what is hidden

01:03:45in the cave B.

01:03:46Those who believe

01:03:47in occult forces

01:03:48consider that opening

01:03:49this door

01:03:50against their will

01:03:51would release

01:03:52unnameable forces

01:03:53on the world.

01:03:54Others consider

01:03:55that the door

01:03:56of the cave B

01:03:57leads to a tunnel.

01:03:58The Indian Supreme

01:03:59does not recommend

01:04:00the opening

01:04:01of the door

01:04:02of the cave B.

01:04:03In 2010,

01:04:04David Crespi,

01:04:05a French engineer

01:04:06who visited

01:04:07Machu Picchu,

01:04:08discovered

01:04:09a strange door

01:04:10in one of the

01:04:11main buildings.

01:04:12The door

01:04:13was in a narrow passage

01:04:14that was not

01:04:15frequented

01:04:16by tourists

01:04:17and archaeologists.

01:04:18David thought

01:04:19that it was

01:04:20a door

01:04:21that had been

01:04:22sealed

01:04:23by the Incas

01:04:24for an unknown reason.

01:04:25He immediately

01:04:26contacted

01:04:27Machu Picchu

01:04:28and was promised

01:04:29that he would

01:04:30start investigating

01:04:31as soon as possible

01:04:32and that he would

01:04:33give him news

01:04:34about his discovery.

01:04:35Months passed

01:04:36but he received

01:04:37no news.

01:04:38He received

01:04:39no answer

01:04:40to his calls

01:04:41and emails.

01:04:42In 2011,

01:04:43he came across

01:04:44an article

01:04:45about Peru

01:04:46written by Thierry Jamin.

01:04:47David contacted

01:04:48him immediately

01:04:49and informed him

01:04:50of his discovery.

01:04:51Subsequently,

01:04:52Jamin and other

01:04:53archaeologists

01:04:54went to Machu Picchu

01:04:55to conduct

01:04:56a 3D image

01:04:57of a staircase ramp

01:04:58leading to

01:04:59the main room

01:05:00and another room.

01:05:01The analysis revealed

01:05:02a few cavities

01:05:03including

01:05:04a large

01:05:05quadrangular room.

01:05:06In addition,

01:05:07georadars also

01:05:08detected metals

01:05:09that could

01:05:10correspond

01:05:11to gold

01:05:12or silver objects.

01:05:13Jamin and his team

01:05:14think that

01:05:15it may be

01:05:16a room

01:05:17dating

01:05:18to a prehistoric

01:05:19period.

01:05:20The discovery

01:05:21of the entrance

01:05:22to Machu Picchu

01:05:23revealed

01:05:24that there

01:05:25was a room

01:05:26dating to

01:05:27a pre-Hispanic period.

01:05:28They think

01:05:29that the Incas

01:05:30sealed the door

01:05:31to hide

01:05:32something important.

01:05:33Maybe it was

01:05:34a huge treasure

01:05:35or something

01:05:36just as important.

01:05:37Jamin claimed

01:05:38that the discovery

01:05:39of this room

01:05:40could be

01:05:41the first step

01:05:42in the discovery

01:05:43of a mausoleum.

01:05:44Jamin submitted

01:05:45an official request

01:05:46to the Peruvian government

01:05:47to obtain

01:05:48permission

01:05:49to open the room.

01:05:50However,

01:05:51neither his request

01:05:52nor the requests

01:05:53of other archaeologists

01:05:54were accepted.

01:05:55They consider

01:05:56that the opening

01:05:57of this door

01:05:58could cause

01:05:59damage

01:06:00to other areas

01:06:01of the archaeological site.

01:06:02However,

01:06:03the endoscopic camera

01:06:04has confirmed

01:06:05the hypothesis

01:06:06that the stone blocks

01:06:07at the entrance

01:06:08only block the passage

01:06:09and are not

01:06:10structural elements

01:06:11useful to the building.

01:06:12The third mystery

01:06:13is located

01:06:14in Giza,

01:06:15in Egypt.

01:06:16Explorers

01:06:17discovered

01:06:18two secret doors

01:06:19in the pyramid

01:06:20of Cheops.

01:06:21There are two tunnels

01:06:22about 20 cm wide

01:06:23that go from

01:06:24the northern and southern walls

01:06:25of the Queen's Chamber.

01:06:26But these tunnels

01:06:27are closed

01:06:28before they lead

01:06:29to the outside

01:06:30of the pyramids.

01:06:31So,

01:06:32where can they lead?

01:06:33No one knows

01:06:34exactly

01:06:35what these tunnels

01:06:36are for.

01:06:37Some archaeologists

01:06:38think

01:06:39that these doors

01:06:40hide the entrance

01:06:41to rooms

01:06:42that are still

01:06:43unexplored.

01:06:44The Egyptologist

01:06:45Zahi

01:06:46told the discovery

01:06:47of these doors.

01:06:48A robot

01:06:49specially designed

01:06:50for the expedition

01:06:51was sent

01:06:52to the Queen's Chamber

01:06:53to understand

01:06:54what was inside.

01:06:55The researchers

01:06:56connected a camera

01:06:57to this robot.

01:06:58The video

01:06:59shows that behind

01:07:00the stone door

01:07:01there is another

01:07:02closed door.

01:07:03The archaeologists

01:07:04were amazed

01:07:05to discover

01:07:06a door

01:07:07instead of an impasse.

01:07:08The structure

01:07:09of the stone door

01:07:10perfectly hides

01:07:11the other doors.

01:07:12According to the experts,

01:07:13it is a feat

01:07:14of engineering.

01:07:15It is impossible

01:07:16to reach the door

01:07:17because it is located

01:07:18behind a giant

01:07:19block of stone.

01:07:20But the archaeologists

01:07:21are looking

01:07:22for a way

01:07:23to reach it

01:07:24without damaging

01:07:25the structure.

01:07:26These new discoveries

01:07:27only confuse

01:07:28the archaeologists

01:07:29instead of

01:07:30providing answers

01:07:31to their questions.

01:07:35The last step

01:07:36of our journey,

01:07:37the Taj Mahal,

01:07:38the Palace of Love.

01:07:39The Mughal Emperor

01:07:40Shah Jahan

01:07:41built this mausoleum

01:07:42in memory

01:07:43of his beloved wife

01:07:44Mumtaz Mahal.

01:07:45The number

01:07:46of doors

01:07:47in the Taj Mahal

01:07:48is so important

01:07:49that this video

01:07:50would last

01:07:51for days

01:07:52if we started

01:07:53talking about

01:07:54all the sealed rooms

01:07:55of the palace.

01:07:56According to the experts,

01:07:57if we opened

01:07:58these doors now,

01:07:59hundreds of years

01:08:00after their

01:08:01definitive closure,

01:08:02we would have

01:08:03to face

01:08:04carbon monoxide

01:08:05exhalations.

01:08:06And if this gas

01:08:07came in contact

01:08:08with marble,

01:08:09it would turn

01:08:10into calcium carbonate,

01:08:11which could

01:08:12crack the Taj Mahal

01:08:13minarets.

01:08:14A legend

01:08:15says that the opening

01:08:16of these doors

01:08:17would free

01:08:18a terrible curse

01:08:19in the underground

01:08:20of the mausoleum.

01:08:21A little bonus

01:08:22from Canada,

01:08:23the door

01:08:24of the room

01:08:25873.

01:08:26It is a room

01:08:27of the Fairmont

01:08:28Banff Springs Hotel,

01:08:29opened

01:08:30in 1888.

01:08:31Here is the story.

01:08:32Tens of years ago,

01:08:33a crime

01:08:34was committed

01:08:35in this room.

01:08:36After the investigation,

01:08:37the hotel administration

01:08:38decided to

01:08:39redecorate the room

01:08:40and continue

01:08:41to rent it

01:08:42to other travelers.

01:08:43Rumor has it

01:08:44that the guests

01:08:45living in this room

01:08:46had witnessed

01:08:47strange phenomena.

01:08:48They heard

01:08:49strange noises

01:08:50and the TV

01:08:51of the room

01:08:52kept blinking.

01:08:53It is said

01:08:54that the door

01:08:55of room 873

01:08:56was walled

01:08:57with bricks.

01:08:58The curious guests

01:08:59who heard

01:09:00about these stories

01:09:01dragged in the corridors

01:09:02where the entrance

01:09:03of the room was

01:09:04by tapping

01:09:05on the walls

01:09:06to contact

01:09:07any ghosts.

01:09:08Which of these doors

01:09:09would you like to open?

01:09:10You have just

01:09:11arrived at your

01:09:12favorite place

01:09:13on a desert beach.

01:09:14It is so calm

01:09:15here that

01:09:16you can

01:09:17start to sigh.

01:09:18But when you

01:09:19open your eyes,

01:09:20it is a shock.

01:09:21But what is going on?

01:09:22Is this a real house

01:09:23that has just

01:09:24appeared on the shore?

01:09:25It looks a bit like

01:09:26the beginning of

01:09:27a science fiction novel.

01:09:28But not if you live

01:09:29near this beach

01:09:30in El Salvador.

01:09:31There is an abandoned

01:09:32house there

01:09:33that seems to have

01:09:34been mysteriously

01:09:35thrown away

01:09:36by the waves.

01:09:37How did this

01:09:38villa get there?

01:09:39And how did

01:09:40no one notice it

01:09:41until now?

01:09:42This enigmatic

01:09:43house

01:09:44seems to have

01:09:45been abandoned

01:09:46for a long time.

01:09:47This enigmatic

01:09:48building

01:09:49is located

01:09:5060 kilometers

01:09:51south of

01:09:52San Salvador,

01:09:53the capital of

01:09:54El Salvador.

01:09:55Residents say

01:09:56that the house

01:09:57was once a hotel

01:09:58named

01:09:59Puerto Ventura.

01:10:00At the time of its

01:10:01construction,

01:10:02its main attraction

01:10:03was the fact

01:10:04that it was

01:10:05really very close

01:10:06to the sea.

01:10:07Unfortunately,

01:10:08the contractors

01:10:09had to make

01:10:10some mistakes.

01:10:11One reason for this

01:10:12is that it was

01:10:13not necessary

01:10:14to have an official

01:10:15name for the

01:10:16building.

01:10:17This Roman-style

01:10:18villa is now

01:10:19only 15 meters

01:10:20from the sea

01:10:21when the tide

01:10:22is low.

01:10:23You can only

01:10:24access it in the

01:10:25morning

01:10:26because later

01:10:27in the day,

01:10:28the tides fill

01:10:29the ground floor

01:10:30with salty water.

01:10:31This two-story

01:10:32hotel is now

01:10:33nothing more

01:10:34than a ruin.

01:10:35Its facade

01:10:36is very impressive

01:10:37with its Roman-style

01:10:38pillars.

01:10:39It also has

01:10:40large windows

01:10:41on the second floor.

01:10:42You can still

01:10:43see parts

01:10:44of the metal structure

01:10:45and what is left

01:10:46of the front door

01:10:47on the second floor.

01:10:48There are steps

01:10:49at the top of the building.

01:10:50Tourists sometimes

01:10:51come to sit there.

01:10:52More and more people

01:10:53travel the area

01:10:54to take pictures,

01:10:55even if

01:10:56climbing the house

01:10:57is a bit dangerous.

01:10:58We don't know

01:10:59how long

01:11:00it has been

01:11:01where it is

01:11:02today.

01:11:03But some

01:11:04inhabitants

01:11:05say

01:11:06that it has been

01:11:07at least 20 years.

01:35:07dangerous

01:35:08hurricanes

01:35:09in the world.

01:35:10As we learned

01:35:11today

01:35:12about the

01:35:13Golden

01:35:14Finance

01:35:15117,

01:35:16Golden

01:35:17Finance

01:35:18117

01:35:19was supposed

01:35:20to be a

01:35:21commercial and

01:35:22residential

01:35:23Golden Finance 117 had to be habitable up to its highest point.

01:35:28This mixed-use building was supposed to rise to 128 floors above the ground.

01:35:33It was planned to transform 117 of them into commercial spaces and hotels,

01:35:38and 11 other floors were to be used for operational and mechanical services.

01:35:43The height-width ratio of the building was 9.5 for 1.

01:35:48With a tower as high and high as this,

01:35:50it was necessary to pay attention to certain forces, such as violent winds.

01:35:54But the skyscraper was designed to resist all of this.

01:35:57It is not surprising, with a peripheral framework

01:36:00composed of huge counter-sales, huge columns and trellis.

01:36:05In appearance, everything seemed perfect,

01:36:07with an innovative design and a unique and robust design.

01:36:11But before the company started pre-sales,

01:36:13the authorities had to inspect and approve the final product.

01:36:17This is a process that all new developers must submit to

01:36:21if they want to obtain and maintain their place on the real estate market.

01:36:24The country only wants to have reliable and well-established companies on its ground,

01:36:29in order to maintain high levels of quality.

01:36:31At the time, the company that built the skyscraper

01:36:34was a new player on the Chinese market.

01:36:37They therefore had to self-finance their projects.

01:36:39They could not start collecting their investments

01:36:42before each of their buildings was finished.

01:36:45In other words, it was tricky from the start.

01:36:48But they were focused on the result.

01:36:51If they managed to finish the entire project without major problems,

01:36:54the reward would be incredible.

01:36:57So they started in August 2008.

01:37:00China survived the global financial crisis that took place in 2008,

01:37:04but the latter still shook the market.

01:37:07This put a lot of pressure on the company,

01:37:09so much so that it interrupted the construction of the skyscraper in January 2010.

01:37:14Things improved in 2011.

01:37:16It was then that the company decided to continue its work,

01:37:19to finish the tower and to prepare to sell it,

01:37:22because the market was again favorable.

01:37:25But given all the rules of the real estate market,

01:37:28the company was in a very precarious situation.

01:37:31Things were getting more and more complicated.

01:37:34In 2015, a new crisis broke out,

01:37:36this time affecting the stock market.

01:37:38This series of unfortunate events continued to occur intermittently,

01:37:42until everyone stopped talking about the project.

01:37:45Another problem was the location.

01:37:47The skyscraper was built on what was once an industrial site.

01:37:51And in the region, there were not many rich people

01:37:54who could afford to live in such a building.

01:37:57The company probably hoped that people would settle there

01:38:00once the construction was finished,

01:38:02which never happened.

01:38:04China houses the largest number of large buildings in the world.

01:38:08There are about 1,400 skyscrapers in the country.

01:38:11The United States is in second place, with more than 800 skyscrapers.

01:38:15Then there is Japan, with more than 250 skyscrapers.

01:38:192018 was the year when China built more skyscrapers

01:38:23than any other country in the world.

01:38:25Eighty-eight new buildings of a height of 200 meters or more

01:38:29came out of the ground.

01:38:31But because of multiple unexpected events,

01:38:33the Golden Finance 117 never had a chance to shine.

01:38:37Today, it's just a ghost site

01:38:39that everyone stopped talking about in 2018.

01:38:43This is not the only case where a building has remained unfinished

01:38:46for a long time.

01:38:48A new airport in Berlin, Germany,

01:38:50was to be inaugurated in June 2012.

01:38:53It was not the first project of this kind

01:38:55to not respect the deadline,

01:38:57but it was one of the most memorable.

01:38:59The airport was about to open,

01:39:01but just before it did,

01:39:03inspectors found about 120,000 defects everywhere.

01:39:07For example, some automatic doors did not open.

01:39:10There were fire safety problems.

01:39:12The authorities also noticed broken roofs.

01:39:15About 170,000 kilometers of cables were poorly installed,

01:39:19which meant that they could not power certain lights

01:39:22or turn off others.

01:39:24Experts have tried to solve these problems for nine years.

01:39:27The airport was designed to accommodate

01:39:2927 million passengers per year.

01:39:31In 2019, more than 45 million travelers

01:39:34used the two other overloaded airports in Berlin.

01:39:37These airports are now ready to close

01:39:39and merge with the new one,

01:39:41which has begun to expand.

01:39:43The initial budget for the entire project

01:39:45was more than $8.2 billion.

01:39:48But it is likely that it will increase

01:39:50in the coming years.

01:39:52The idea was born in 1990,

01:39:54and it took six years,

01:39:56if only to find the right site

01:39:58to set up the airport.

01:40:00The official construction did not begin

01:40:02until the following decade.

01:40:04The original code of this airport

01:40:06also had to be modified

01:40:08because it was already used by another airport in India.

01:40:11But if we design an airport at the beginning of the 2000s,

01:40:14will it be compatible with the habits of travel

01:40:17and the technology of 2020 and beyond?

01:40:20In addition, there is not enough space

01:40:22for all the planes that are supposed to use it.

01:40:25And yet, since 2020,

01:40:27the airport has opened and expanded.

01:40:29During this time,

01:40:31a tower in Krakow, Poland,

01:40:33was nicknamed the Skeleton.

01:40:35It stood proud and tall,

01:40:37but its unfinished carcass

01:40:39actually looks like a skeleton.

01:40:41With its 92 meters high,

01:40:43it is one of the tallest buildings in Krakow.

01:40:45The project began in 1975,

01:40:47but was interrupted

01:40:49due to some difficulties

01:40:51in the country at that time.

01:40:53The tower remained abandoned for a long time

01:40:55and changed owners several times.

01:40:57The tower has often been wrapped

01:40:59in advertising boards.

01:41:01Fortunately, it did not remain unfinished.

01:41:03In 2016, the last phase of reconstruction

01:41:05began.

01:41:07The main objective

01:41:09was to transform the skyscraper

01:41:11into a modern office building.

01:41:13It is now done.

01:41:15The tower consists of 5 offices

01:41:17with the main one in the center.

01:41:19The architects found their inspiration

01:41:21in the styles of the 1920s and 1930s.

01:41:23There is a terrace at the top.

01:41:25The history of the building

01:41:27could also appear in the skyscraper.

01:41:29And here is another ghost tower,

01:41:31this time in Bangkok, Thailand.

01:41:33From the outside,

01:41:35we could say that it is just a detail

01:41:37of Bangkok's horizon line.

01:41:39The skyscraper is finished at about 75%.

01:41:41But looking closer,

01:41:43you will see that it lacks

01:41:45a lot of interior structures.

01:41:47It was supposed to be a luxury building,

01:41:49but for the moment,

01:41:51it is just an abandoned skyscraper.

01:41:53The walls are covered with graffiti

01:41:55and there is no electricity.

01:41:57The building stands there

01:41:59as a reminder of what it could have become

01:42:01and attracts the attention of urban explorers

01:42:03from all over the world.

01:42:05The construction process was interrupted

01:42:07when the crisis began.

01:42:09And now, only occasional adventurers

01:42:11visit the site to enjoy

01:42:13the magnificent view it offers

01:42:15on the city and the river.

01:42:19In the northeast of Thailand,

01:42:21huge stone whales

01:42:23swim in the forest.

01:42:25They are part of a rock formation

01:42:2775 million years old.

01:42:29A long time ago, this part of Thailand

01:42:31was just a desert.

01:42:33The movements of the earth's crust

01:42:35have pushed the clay up

01:42:37to create these fascinating mountains.

01:42:39Accessible to all those

01:42:41who want to spend the day

01:42:43crossing the network of trails,

01:42:45this site is increasingly popular

01:42:47with tourists.

01:42:49You will understand why

01:42:51when you see the rocks

01:42:53stretching upside down.

01:42:55Along these paths,

01:42:57you will find waterfalls,

01:42:59a wide variety of plants

01:43:01and exotic animals.

01:43:03And from the top of the hill,

01:43:05you can even see the neighboring country,

01:43:07Laos.

01:43:09The shapes look like those of the whales

01:43:11swimming together.

01:43:13No wonder this place is called

01:43:15the Three Whale Rock.

01:43:17In 2011, a worker

01:43:19made an incredible discovery.

01:43:21He found a specimen of a nodosaur

01:43:23almost perfectly preserved.

01:43:25This extinct dinosaur

01:43:27weighed about 1,360 kilograms

01:43:29and was 5.5 meters long.

01:43:31Although it is more than

01:43:33110 million years old,

01:43:35the nodosaur was so well preserved

01:43:37that you can clearly see the heavy shell

01:43:39and the scaly skin it covered.

01:43:41It took almost a whole year

01:43:43of meticulous work

01:43:45to make this incredible discovery.

01:43:47The fossil was finally unveiled

01:43:49in a Canadian museum in 2017.

01:43:51Unexpectedly, the analysis of the skin

01:43:53revealed nuances that indicate

01:43:55that the nodosaur was perhaps

01:43:57capable of camouflaging itself,

01:43:59like geckos and night butterflies

01:44:01of modern times.

01:44:03This is added to the spines and scales

01:44:05that already make it an assault tank.

01:44:07Still studied today,

01:44:09this nodosaur could be

01:44:11one of the most important fossils

01:44:13and its secret could help us

01:44:15elucidate many other mysteries

01:44:17of the past.

01:44:19The Voynich manuscript

01:44:21is the most mysterious document

01:44:23in the world.

01:44:25Since its discovery in 1912,

01:44:27it remains a complete mystery

01:44:29for all those who study it.

01:44:31It is abundantly illustrated

01:44:33with strange images

01:44:35of alien plants,

01:44:37unknown objects

01:44:39and zodiac symbols.

01:44:41Nobody knows what it means,

01:44:43who wrote it or where it was written.

01:44:45We don't even know

01:44:47if it was a real functional language

01:44:49or if it was created for this one text.

01:44:51The drawings of the different plants

01:44:53are just as fascinating.

01:44:55Most of the plants in the manuscript

01:44:57are identifiable as plants,

01:44:59but they do not correspond to any known species.

01:45:01In England,

01:45:03a linguistics professor

01:45:05claimed to have deciphered

01:45:07some of the symbols in the manuscript,

01:45:09but to this day,

01:45:11he has not been able

01:45:13to find more information

01:45:15on this mysterious text.

01:45:17If you ever have the chance

01:45:19to go to Australia,

01:45:21don't forget to visit

01:45:23the mysterious craters of Queensland.

01:45:25Halfway between Bundaberg

01:45:27and Djin Djin

01:45:29is one of Australia's most

01:45:31disturbing finds.

01:45:33In 1971,

01:45:35the site belonged

01:45:37to a farmer.

01:45:39Looking closely at the rocks

01:45:41on his path,

01:45:43he found marine fossils

01:45:45and strange craters.

01:45:47The farmer passed his findings

01:45:49on to geology professors

01:45:51who began to study the formations.

01:45:53When geologists started to dig

01:45:55in the region,

01:45:57they discovered a huge layer

01:45:59of chalk and ochre

01:46:01covered with craters.

01:46:03There were 35 craters in total

01:46:05over a million years.

01:46:07Scientists who study this mystery

01:46:09believe that hot springs,

01:46:11ancient ocean activities

01:46:13and meteors are the main

01:46:15responsible for the formation

01:46:17of these craters.

01:46:19We would like to know

01:46:21the names of Bundaberg

01:46:23and Djin Djin.

01:46:25The dental machine

01:46:27is a kind of old computer

01:46:29that still disconcerts

01:46:31scientists by its extraordinary

01:46:33accuracy.

01:46:35It was discovered in 1900

01:46:37and divers recovered

01:46:39some of its old artifacts.

01:46:41When archaeologists started

01:46:43to sort the finds,

01:46:45they found an object

01:46:47that did not correspond

01:46:49to anything known

01:46:51at the time.

01:46:53It was old,

01:46:55but they found

01:46:57an incredible device

01:46:59that seemed too advanced

01:47:01in terms of time,

01:47:03movement of stars,

01:47:05eclipses, phases of the Moon

01:47:07and even a countdown

01:47:09for events such as

01:47:11the Olympic Games.

01:47:13This level of technology

01:47:15is almost impossible

01:47:17to explain for an ancient Greece.

01:47:19No mechanism even came

01:47:21close to such a machine

01:47:23before the 14th century,

01:47:25when gear clocks

01:47:27began to be manufactured

01:47:29in Greece.

01:47:31The shipwreck of the Anticythera

01:47:33and the loss of the calculator

01:47:35could have delayed

01:47:37our technological development

01:47:39for several hundred years.

01:47:41Meanwhile,

01:47:43the Caucasus Mountains

01:47:45along the Black Sea

01:47:47are one of the few regions

01:47:49in Europe that is not

01:47:51known to have a significant

01:47:53impact on humans,

01:47:55even if the term Caucasian

01:47:57means a region

01:47:59that is home to houses

01:48:01commonly called dolmens

01:48:03containing jewels,

01:48:05bronze tools

01:48:07and various pottery.

01:48:09Archaeologists do not know

01:48:11who built them,

01:48:13why or for what purpose.

01:48:15The structures are either

01:48:17two stones held together

01:48:19by a large stone

01:48:21making the roof,

01:48:23or smaller stones

01:48:25made of clay.

01:48:27The strange thing

01:48:29about these formations

01:48:31is that they are not

01:48:33only found in the Caucasus.

01:48:35They can be found

01:48:37all over the world,

01:48:39in Australia,

01:48:41South Korea,

01:48:43Colombia,

01:48:45Africa,

01:48:47and even in France.

01:48:49Their function remains

01:48:51unknown,

01:48:53with each having

01:48:55a unique facial expression.

01:48:57There are even horses and

01:48:59tanks in clay,

01:49:01just in case.

01:49:03What we do not know

01:49:05is that we have not yet

01:49:07entered certain areas of the tomb.

01:49:09Archaeologists are reluctant

01:49:11to open the site

01:49:13because the whole area

01:49:15is unstable.

01:49:17There could be something

01:49:19surprising inside,

01:49:21so we put the robots

01:49:23in the sealed tombs

01:49:25to get a better idea

01:49:27of what is inside.

01:49:29In the meantime,

01:49:31archaeologists have to wait

01:49:33a little longer

01:49:35to discover the secrets.

01:49:37In the south of Costa Rica,

01:49:39we discovered a collection

01:49:41of mysterious stone spheres.

01:49:43There are more than 300

01:49:45scattered in the landscape

01:49:47and some are almost

01:49:49made of gabbro,

01:49:51a volcanic rock.

01:49:53It would have taken a lot of time

01:49:55and effort to sculpt the stones

01:49:57in their perfect spherical shape.

01:49:59Researchers think they could have

01:50:01been made by a population

01:50:03that has now disappeared

01:50:05and only used a few tools.

01:50:07The most credible theory

01:50:09is that they used small stones

01:50:11to chisel the edges of the rocks

01:50:13before using sand

01:50:15to smooth the faces.

01:50:17Scientists use markers

01:50:19to indicate the way to something,

01:50:21but no one knows more.

01:50:23Their significance is lost

01:50:25with the civilization that created them.

01:50:27Off the southern tip of Japan

01:50:29and 120 km from Taiwan

01:50:31is the formation of Yonaguni.

01:50:33A local diver noticed

01:50:35this formation for the first time

01:50:37in 1986 when he was looking

01:50:39for new diving sites

01:50:41to take tourists there.

01:50:43Seeing the large steps

01:50:45makes you want to discover

01:50:47an underwater city.

01:50:49Some archaeologists think

01:50:51that the structures could be

01:50:53signs of a legendary Pacific civilization

01:50:55like Atlantis that disappeared

01:50:57under the waves thousands of years ago.

01:50:59There are also marks on the stone

01:51:01suggesting an excavation work.

01:51:03Some people have even claimed

01:51:05that human and animal motifs

01:51:07had been engraved in the stone.

01:51:09None of this, however,

01:51:11is supported by tangible evidence.

01:51:13Some people have even claimed

01:51:15that the formation is natural

01:51:17and that the symmetry of the rocks

01:51:19has been exaggerated.

01:51:21They are not as straight

01:51:23as what has been reported

01:51:25and it seems that they are solid

01:51:27and natural rocks rather than

01:51:29sculpted blocks.

01:51:31In other words,

01:51:33the resemblance with an engulfed

01:51:35civilization would only be a coincidence.

01:51:37In Turkey, archaeologists

01:51:39thought they had found

01:51:41ancient agricultural communities.

01:51:43These monoliths, which could reach

01:51:455.5 meters high, were probably

01:51:47used during large events

01:51:49or rituals.

01:51:51But we don't know much about these monoliths.

01:51:53These large stone structures

01:51:55seem to have a human shape

01:51:57with animal motifs sculpted.

01:51:59Researchers have found traces of

01:52:01habitation nearby, suggesting

01:52:03that these amazing monuments

01:52:05could have marked the beginning

01:52:07of the advance towards modern civilization.

01:52:09Some of the most interesting

01:52:11have never been discovered.

01:52:13The most curious is that they look

01:52:15like modern airplanes.

01:52:17They have such an aerodynamic shape

01:52:19that modern scientists think

01:52:21they could have served as a model

01:52:23for a functional airplane.

01:52:25In 1994, two aeronautical engineers

01:52:27created models on a larger scale

01:52:29of these artifacts.

01:52:31They proved that the models

01:52:33really fly with a little help

01:52:35from our modern engines.

01:52:37These monoliths may have been

01:52:39thousands of years old

01:52:41on the Wright brothers' first airplane.

01:52:43Another fascinating mystery

01:52:45of our world.

01:52:47It's very strange, says Suzy

01:52:49when she looks at a tree

01:52:51attached to a yellow bandeau.

01:52:53She's been walking in a strange

01:52:55forest south of Japan for an hour

01:52:57and it seems she's lost.

01:52:59She hung the bandeau on the tree

01:53:0130 minutes ago and started

01:53:03to walk away.

01:53:05She didn't stop.

01:53:07She walked straight ahead.

01:53:0930 minutes later, she came back

01:53:11to the tree.

01:53:13Suzy couldn't get far from

01:53:15the nearest village.

01:53:17She thinks the forest is trying

01:53:19to trick her.

01:53:21The trees move to keep her

01:53:23trapped in this place.

01:53:25It all looks like a horror movie.

01:53:27The next night, an invisible

01:53:29mysterious monster will

01:53:31probably appear and hang

01:53:33on the tree.

01:53:35But not Suzy.

01:53:37She smiles in the face of any

01:53:39danger.

01:53:41By the way, her phone and

01:53:43internet work, so everything

01:53:45is fine.

01:53:47She takes a few steps

01:53:49to the side and attaches

01:53:51a blue bandeau to another

01:53:53cedar.

01:53:55Then she starts walking

01:53:57on a narrow path away

01:53:59from the marked tree.

01:54:0110 minutes later,

01:54:03she just kept walking in circles.

01:54:05Suzy moves away

01:54:07to another tree and notices

01:54:09another curved path.

01:54:11She takes her phone, opens

01:54:13an online map and spots

01:54:15her location thanks to

01:54:17satellite photos.

01:54:19It's incredible.

01:54:21The trees in this place

01:54:23grow into concentric circles.

01:54:25There are several rows here.

01:54:27It looks like mysterious

01:54:29Suzy films with her phone

01:54:31to inform her subscribers

01:54:33that she found a strange

01:54:35natural anomaly.

01:54:37While she films, she hears

01:54:39someone laughing.

01:54:41It's a man who stands

01:54:43next to her.

01:54:45He finds it funny that she

01:54:47speaks so seriously about

01:54:49this forest.

01:54:51He tells her that there is

01:54:53nothing unusual here.

01:54:55It's because of people

01:54:57who experimented here

01:54:59to discover how trees

01:55:01would grow in such conditions.

01:55:03It's called experimental forestry.

01:55:05Trees began to grow

01:55:07in a convex shape

01:55:09by deploying symmetrically.

01:55:11This has shown that the size

01:55:13of the spaces between

01:55:15the trees affects their growth.

01:55:17At first, they had to cut

01:55:19the trees according to the plan.

01:55:21But the place has become

01:55:23popular with tourists

01:55:25because of this maze.

01:55:27Suzy is a bit upset.

01:55:29She informs her subscribers

01:55:31that there is nothing

01:55:33mysterious here.

01:55:35The man who told her about

01:55:37the circles offers her

01:55:39to visit the mysterious

01:55:41twisted forest in Poland.

01:55:43There, she will see

01:55:45a strange phenomenon.

01:55:47But before going there,

01:55:49she decides to visit

01:55:51another fascinating place

01:55:53where humans live.

01:55:55They live here thanks

01:55:57to the abundance of fish.

01:55:59In the past, this place

01:56:01was infested with rats

01:56:03who damaged fishing boats.

01:56:05People brought cats

01:56:07to fight rodents.

01:56:09After all the rats

01:56:11disappeared, the cats remained.

01:56:13Since then, people

01:56:15consider them as citizens.

01:56:17The video with the cats

01:56:19is the one with the most

01:56:21views in the world.

01:56:23The lower parts of their

01:56:25trunks are curved,

01:56:27which gives them the air

01:56:29of a belly.

01:56:31Suzy goes around

01:56:33the forest and counts

01:56:35about 400 trees.

01:56:37It seems that people

01:56:39have altered their shape,

01:56:41but to this day,

01:56:43there is no proof of this.

01:56:45We think that the trees

01:56:47were planted in the 30s

01:56:49near the forest.

01:56:51Its inhabitants probably knew

01:56:53the secret, but unfortunately,

01:56:55the village was destroyed

01:56:57more than 70 years ago.

01:56:59The key to the mystery

01:57:01disappeared with it.

01:57:03Of course, scientists had

01:57:05hypotheses, but they were

01:57:07quickly refuted.

01:57:09Maybe this curved shape

01:57:11was caused by a genetic anomaly.

01:57:13There are trees with similar

01:57:15trunks in other forests,

01:57:17which suggests that an element

01:57:19of the environment affected them.

01:57:21We can find similar trees

01:57:23everywhere in the world,

01:57:25but most of the time,

01:57:27they are solitary

01:57:29and never grow in such large

01:57:31trunks. Maybe the snow

01:57:33falls on their tops every winter

01:57:35and the trunks bend under

01:57:37their weight. But then,

01:57:39why only the lower part

01:57:41deforms? And why

01:57:43do the other trees

01:57:45grow in the same way?

01:57:47It is possible that local farmers

01:57:49influenced the shape of the trees

01:57:51to create furniture and

01:57:53some elements for the

01:57:55manufacture of boats.

01:57:57It is fast and easy

01:57:59to make a basket

01:58:01from such a tree.

01:58:03By the way, manipulating

01:58:05the growth of trees

01:58:07was a common practice

01:58:09among some ancient

01:58:11tribes in America.

01:58:13This place is located

01:58:15on an island 27 km south

01:58:17of the center of Mexico.

01:58:19Suzy arrives on a small boat.

01:58:21As soon as she sets foot on the ground,

01:58:23she goes live on her phone.

01:58:25She films dolls hanging

01:58:27on trees all over the island.

01:58:29They have different clothes,

01:58:31sizes and faces.

01:58:33There are about a dozen

01:58:35scary dolls on each tree.

01:58:37The rain and the sun

01:58:39have deformed their faces.

01:58:41There are rumors

01:58:43that they come to life at night.

01:58:45Do you want to check?

01:58:47No problem.

01:58:49Suzy agrees.

01:58:51The sun goes down

01:58:53and the darkness falls on the forest.

01:58:55Suzy walks among the trees.

01:58:57The moon lights up her path.

01:58:59She makes a fire to warm up.

01:59:01At that moment,

01:59:03she hears a strange noise.

01:59:05She notices some movements

01:59:07in the corner of her eye.

01:59:09Suzy looks up

01:59:11and sees a doll,

01:59:13lit by flames,

01:59:15turning her head in her direction.

01:59:17Suzy runs away.

01:59:19Of course, the doll didn't move.

01:59:21We can see a small bird

01:59:23sitting behind the doll's head.

01:59:25A few days later,

01:59:27Suzy discovers that a Mexican

01:59:29had settled on the island

01:59:31in the 1950s

01:59:33and had filled it with dolls.

01:59:35He picked them up

01:59:37and decorated each tree.

01:59:39At first, it seemed strange

01:59:41and exciting for tourists.

01:59:43Then, as the dolls grew old

01:59:45and withered on the spot,

01:59:47this place became even more intriguing.

01:59:49There are several legends

01:59:51about the reasons for her obsession.

01:59:53Well, Suzy has had enough

01:59:55of these mysteries and gloomy places.

01:59:57Now, she wants to admire

01:59:59something majestic

02:00:01that was created by nature.

02:00:03She arrives in Sequoia National Park

02:00:05where she sees the largest tree

02:00:07in the world, a giant sequoia.

02:00:09It's called General Sherman

02:00:11and is about 2,000 years old.

02:00:13The volume of this tree

02:00:15is almost half that

02:00:17of an Olympic swimming pool.

02:00:19But despite its age,

02:00:21it's not the oldest.

02:00:23Some sequoias in the park

02:00:25appeared 3,000 years ago.

02:00:27The tallest tree in the world

02:00:29grows here in California.

02:00:31It's called Hyperion

02:00:33and is 115 meters high.

02:00:35It's a third of the height

02:00:37of the Eiffel Tower.

02:00:39Now, Suzy is on the island

02:00:41of Madagascar.

02:00:43She goes to see the famous baobabs.

02:00:45It looks like something

02:00:47pulled them off the ground,

02:00:49turned them over and planted them

02:00:51upside down.

02:00:53Baobabs are one of the most beautiful

02:00:55trees in the world.

02:00:57Most of them are here,

02:00:59but you can also find them

02:01:01like sponges.

02:01:03They expand and absorb moisture

02:01:05during the rainy season.

02:01:07Elephants love to drink it.

02:01:09They tear off the trunk

02:01:11to quench their thirst.

02:01:13At night, flowers bloom

02:01:15on the baobabs.

02:01:17They smell the milk and

02:01:19attract bats.

02:01:21But the most interesting thing

02:01:23is that the baobab does not dry

02:01:25out and does not fall

02:01:27like the other trees

02:01:29It is the hottest place on Earth,

02:01:31at least when it comes to

02:01:33air temperature.

02:01:35On July 10, 1913,

02:01:37the temperature reached

02:01:39a frightening and record value

02:01:41of 56.7 degrees Celsius.

02:01:43No wonder people call it

02:01:45the Valley of Death.

02:01:47It is also the lowest point

02:01:49in North America,

02:01:51located 86 meters below

02:01:53sea level.

02:01:55When you come here for the first time,

02:01:57you are surrounded by ice.

02:01:59But is it really frozen water

02:02:01that you see here?

02:02:03Don't be fooled.

02:02:05It's actually salt.

02:02:07When the rainwater combines

02:02:09with the minerals,

02:02:11the outer layer of rock

02:02:13surrounding this area dissolves.

02:02:15When the water evaporates,

02:02:17there is only salt left.

02:02:19If you are a fan of water,

02:02:21this is not the best place for you

02:02:23because the rains are rare

02:02:25In North America,

02:02:27this region receives

02:02:29less than 5 centimeters

02:02:31of rainfall per year.

02:02:33This makes the Valley of Death

02:02:35the driest place,

02:02:37not only in the United States,

02:02:39but also in North America.

02:02:41In 1929 and 1953,

02:02:43this place did not receive

02:02:45a single drop of rain

02:02:47throughout the year.

02:02:49This surreal landscape

02:02:51becomes even more striking

02:02:53when you visit the Valley of Death.

02:02:55But it is one of the most striking

02:02:57landscapes, some of which

02:02:59rise to more than 100 meters.

02:03:01If one day you arrive

02:03:03at the top of the sand dunes,

02:03:05you may have the chance

02:03:07to discover one of the strangest

02:03:09things in the desert,

02:03:11the sand field.

02:03:13But why does this happen?

02:03:15Is it really the sand that makes

02:03:17this noise, or is there

02:03:19something else responsible?

02:03:21A simple explanation

02:03:23could be that the sand

02:03:25that slides on the dunes

02:03:27produces this sound

02:03:29because of the friction

02:03:31between these grains.

02:03:33When you listen to it,

02:03:35you get the impression

02:03:37that a plane is flying in the distance.

02:03:39It is one of the rare places

02:03:41on Earth where the sand

02:03:43produces such a loud noise

02:03:45that you can hear it.

02:03:47The other places are

02:03:49a bit surreal.

02:03:51Some of the rocks

02:03:53seem to be moving on their own.

02:03:55Maybe it is because

02:03:57the animals are sitting on them.

02:03:59I mean, the Valley houses

02:04:01the famous Great Geocuckoo.

02:04:03This little bird, which measures

02:04:05less than 60 cm and weighs 1 kg,

02:04:07is one of the rare creatures

02:04:09to live here.

02:04:11It has adapted its body temperature

02:04:13to survive the intense heat

02:04:15of the day.

02:04:17After all, it is not big enough

02:04:19to cause this kind of consequences.

02:04:21In addition, nothing seems to push

02:04:23these rocks.

02:04:25The trace they leave behind

02:04:27is too important.

02:04:29In this case, should we blame the wind?

02:04:31This explanation does not seem

02:04:33to be convenient either,

02:04:35because some of these rocks

02:04:37are so big that it is impossible

02:04:39for them to be simply carried

02:04:41by the wind.

02:04:43I mean, they can weigh up to

02:04:452.7 meters.

02:04:47In this case,

02:04:49there may be something in the composition

02:04:51of these rocks that helps them

02:04:53to move when they want.

02:04:55Could it be made of special material?

02:04:57Scientists have shown themselves

02:04:59just as disappointed as you are

02:05:01when they did their research

02:05:03on this theory.

02:05:05No, the composition of these rocks

02:05:07is not unique.

02:05:09They are just ordinary stones

02:05:11mainly composed of dolomite

02:05:13that were randomly detached.

02:05:15In any case,

02:05:17the movements of the rocks

02:05:19have intrigued researchers

02:05:21since their discovery in the early 1900s.

02:05:23What is even more curious

02:05:25is that, depending on their shape,

02:05:27the trajectories seem different.

02:05:29While the rocks whose surface is rough

02:05:31create straight trajectories,

02:05:33those whose surface is smooth

02:05:35seem to move at random.

02:05:37Researchers have tried to understand

02:05:39the multiple movements of these rocks

02:05:41by observing the places

02:05:43using video cameras.

02:05:45They have also created

02:05:47a meteorological station

02:05:49dedicated to the site

02:05:51and even placed GPS tracking devices

02:05:53on some of them.

02:05:55Here is another question.

02:05:57Why do some of these rocks

02:05:59move together?

02:06:01Whatever their shape and size,

02:06:03some of them seem to leave

02:06:05parallel tracks.

02:06:07It really looks like they follow

02:06:09the same curves and turns

02:06:11during their travels.

02:06:13I mean, they are not rocks

02:06:15that move at random, are they?

02:06:17It was only in 2014

02:06:19that scientists managed

02:06:21to record the movement of the rocks.

02:06:23Until then,

02:06:25no one had seen them move.

02:06:27People were just intrigued

02:06:29by the mystery of the marks left behind.

02:06:33Thanks to timelapse photography,

02:06:35which essentially consists

02:06:37in taking pictures of the same image

02:06:39for a certain period of time

02:06:41and then playing it like a movie,

02:06:43scientists have finally discovered

02:06:45what was hidden behind their movements.

02:06:47So, did it really have something

02:06:49to do with animals or the wind?

02:06:51Or was it another mysterious force

02:06:53that pushed the rocks through the empty landscape?

02:06:57Well, the answer is not as simple

02:06:59as you might think.

02:07:01It all comes down to a combination

02:07:03of precipitation, rapid temperature changes

02:07:05To put it simply,

02:07:07when it rains in the valley,

02:07:09the place can sometimes freeze

02:07:11and the entire valley

02:07:13begins to look like a huge ice rink.

02:07:15Some of the rocks

02:07:17remain stuck in the ice.

02:07:19When the temperature rises

02:07:21and the ice begins to melt,

02:07:23some parts of this layer of ice

02:07:25begin to move slowly,

02:07:27dragging the rocks,

02:07:29hence their movements

02:07:31and the marks they leave behind.

02:07:33When the ice melts due to the rain,

02:07:35it allows the rocks to move

02:07:37with the layer of ice.

02:07:39Once the ice has melted,

02:07:41the water evaporates

02:07:43and leaves no trace of what happened.

02:07:45On the other hand,

02:07:47the traces left by the rocks

02:07:49solidify under the heat and sun,

02:07:51giving the impression

02:07:53that the rocks moved by themselves.

02:07:55What makes it difficult

02:07:57for scientists to solve this mystery

02:07:59is the fact that the layer of ice

02:08:01is not large enough in terms of total surface,

02:08:03but thin enough

02:08:05to evaporate very quickly,

02:08:07leaving no sign of its presence.

02:08:09Anyway,

02:08:11despite the name of the desert,

02:08:13there are many creatures

02:08:15walking in this place.

02:08:17Even fish!

02:08:19I know, fish in the desert!

02:08:21Well, surprisingly,

02:08:23there are six species of fish

02:08:25that can survive here,

02:08:27despite the salty waters

02:08:29The first species of resistant fish

02:08:31is the devilish cyprinodon

02:08:33of the Devil's Hole.

02:08:35It only lives there,

02:08:37in water whose temperature

02:08:39can rise up to 34°C.

02:08:41Because of this temperature

02:08:43and the concentration of oxygen,

02:08:45no other species of fish

02:08:47can get out of it.

02:08:49But there are not only fish.

02:08:51There is actually a wide variety

02:08:53of wild animals in the desert.

02:08:55There are more than 50 species of mammals

02:08:57such as coyotes, wild foxes,

02:08:59lynxes and pumas.

02:09:01Among the smaller species,

02:09:03you can see rabbits, squirrels,

02:09:05bats, turtles,

02:09:07rats and mice.

02:09:09Some of the animals living here

02:09:11had to adapt to difficult conditions

02:09:13and found very creative solutions,

02:09:15such as the hare for example.

02:09:17It uses its oversized ears

02:09:19to stay cool

02:09:21during the intense summer heat.

02:09:23Kangaroo rats

02:09:25and kangaroos

02:09:27also have a unique trick

02:09:29in their jaws.

02:09:31They can survive

02:09:33with almost no water at all.

02:09:35How?

02:09:37They can get all the water

02:09:39they need from the food they eat.

02:09:41Other creatures,

02:09:43such as turtles,

02:09:45resort to hibernation.

02:09:47Up to 9 months a year,

02:09:49they rest to protect themselves

02:09:51from the extreme conditions

02:09:53they face on Earth.

02:09:55I swear, I'm not crazy,

02:09:57gravity is affecting everyone,

02:09:59isn't it?

02:10:01At last, we're sure

02:10:03that everyone is affected,

02:10:05unlike love for example.

02:10:07Oh, I'm in a romantic mood, sorry.

02:10:09But what if I told you

02:10:11it's not as simple and clear

02:10:13as you think?

02:10:15There are places on our planet

02:10:17where gravity acts like it's gone mad.

02:10:19That's why you clicked here.

02:10:21Take a look.

02:10:23Magnetic Hill in Leh, India.

02:10:25There's a part of the road in India

02:10:27that attracts tourists from all over the world.

02:10:29It's not different from the surrounding landscape

02:10:31and you could easily

02:10:33miss it

02:10:35if it's not for something

02:10:37very unusual and a little scary.

02:10:39If you stop your car on the magnetic hill

02:10:41while going up the slope

02:10:43and you hit it hard,

02:10:45it will start to move

02:10:47up to a speed of 20 km per hour.

02:10:49It's said that there's

02:10:51a kind of magnetic force

02:10:53that pulls cars up the hill,

02:10:55hence its name.

02:10:57In addition,

02:10:59it's also said that even planes

02:11:01take off above this place.

02:11:03The skeptics propose another explanation.

02:11:05It's simply the terrain's configuration

02:11:07that gives the illusion of going up

02:11:09when in fact,

02:11:11you're going down the hill, and vice versa.

02:11:13Whatever the truth,

02:11:15I'd like to see it with my own eyes.

02:11:17What do you think?

02:11:19Tell me in the comments.

02:11:21The Twisted Forest, Poland

02:11:23Near the village of Nowy Czarnowo,

02:11:25there's a forest

02:11:27where you can find strange-looking pine trees.

02:11:29Planted in the 1930s,

02:11:31these are 400 trees

02:11:33that suddenly bend to the north,

02:11:35practically from the roots,

02:11:37then grow up in a semicircle.

02:11:39Although scientists propose

02:11:41different theories about the strange growth

02:11:43of these trees,

02:11:45we can't be sure

02:11:47what gave them this appearance.

02:11:49Some say that people did it,

02:11:51while others think it's a gravitational anomaly

02:11:53that somehow pushed the trees down.

02:11:55However, the problem with this version

02:11:57is that it should have been present

02:11:59for years,

02:12:01and that it only affected the trees.

02:12:03Let's admit it,

02:12:05no indisputable explanation

02:12:07explains this phenomenon,

02:12:09no matter how crazy it is.

02:12:11Have you ever seen a waterfall

02:12:13on a rocky island

02:12:15halfway between Iceland and Scotland?

02:12:17But if you were expecting

02:12:19me to tell you an incredible story

02:12:21about a mysterious force

02:12:23pushing water up from the rocks,

02:12:25then sorry, not at all.

02:12:27However, the truth is just as amazing.

02:12:29The winds of this place

02:12:31are so powerful

02:12:33that they lift the water and throw it back up.

02:12:35I suppose it's this kind of wind

02:12:37that allowed Mary Poppins to fly with her umbrella.

02:12:39That seems reasonable.

02:12:41In fact, this waterfall

02:12:43is not unique.

02:12:45There are several other places on Earth

02:12:47where the winds create an illusion

02:12:49that defies gravity.

02:12:51For example, the Kinder River in England

02:12:53has a waterfall that constantly

02:12:55fights against the wind.

02:12:57The wind is so strong

02:12:59that half of the waterfall's water

02:13:01seems to fly away without ever touching

02:13:03the bottom of the waterfall.

02:13:05The Hoover Dam in Nevada, United States.

02:13:07If you ever manage to climb

02:13:09about 221 meters high,

02:13:11you can try a little trick.

02:13:13Take a bottle of water

02:13:15and pour it on the edge.

02:13:17You will see the water flow up

02:13:19instead of falling down.

02:13:21Once again, it's not a magic or artificial phenomenon.

02:13:23The wind is simply

02:13:25too strong for the water to fall.

02:13:27As in the case of the

02:13:29Ferroe Islands Waterfall.

02:13:31Here, however, it's even more impressive

02:13:33since you can do it yourself.

02:13:35Docheby Road, South Korea.

02:13:37Another gravitational anomaly

02:13:39located on a road.

02:13:41Residents discovered one day

02:13:43that if you put a can or an empty bottle

02:13:45on the ground, it immediately starts

02:13:47to roll up the mountain.

02:13:49But unlike other places of this kind

02:13:51in the world, Docheby Road

02:13:53doesn't just create an illusion.

02:13:55When you go down the slope,

02:13:57you don't feel like you're going up.

02:13:59Everything is pretty normal.

02:14:01But as soon as you put an object that can roll,

02:14:03it does so in the opposite direction

02:14:05than it should.

02:14:07Local authorities didn't take long

02:14:09to take advantage of the phenomenon

02:14:11and installed a sign

02:14:13indicating to curious tourists

02:14:15the mysterious road.

02:14:17Gold Rock, Burma.

02:14:19If you are in Burma,

02:14:21today also called Myanmar,

02:14:23don't forget to visit this famous site.

02:14:25A rock covered with gold leaf

02:14:27is located on the edge of a cliff

02:14:29and a small pagoda is built at the top.

02:14:31What is impressive with this rock

02:14:33is that it slightly touches the cliff to support itself.

02:14:35In fact, it looks like the rock

02:14:37is going to fall from one minute to the next,

02:14:39but no, it has been like this for centuries.

02:14:41What's more,

02:14:43the pagoda built on the rock

02:14:45is not really a recent construction.

02:14:47So it's a pretty amazing sight.

02:14:49The rock seems to say,

02:14:51Gravity? Pff, I don't care about that kind of thing.

02:14:53The legend says

02:14:55that what keeps the rock in place

02:14:57is a simple bundle of Buddha's hair.

02:14:59I don't know,

02:15:01but you can go and see

02:15:03the rock by yourself

02:15:05and see that it is not attached to the cliff at all.

02:15:07And yet, it hasn't moved

02:15:09for 2,500 years.

02:15:11There must be something crazy going on here, right?

02:15:13Davasco Rock, Argentina.

02:15:15If there is another thing

02:15:17that says,

02:15:19Gravity, I challenge you,

02:15:21it is the Davasco Rock.

02:15:23This huge rock

02:15:25of 300 tons

02:15:27stands precariously on the edge of a cliff

02:15:29and swings a little from one side to the other

02:15:31with the wind.

02:15:33People even tested it by placing glass bottles

02:15:35under one of its edges.

02:15:37They exploded with a new movement of the rock.

02:15:39Unfortunately, today,

02:15:41you can no longer see this wonder of nature

02:15:43as it was a century ago.

02:15:45In 1912, the rock suddenly fell

02:15:47from its perch,

02:15:49which had occupied it literally for hundreds of years.

02:15:51The inhabitants of the neighboring town of Tandil

02:15:53were so sad about this event

02:15:55that 95 years later,

02:15:57in 2007,

02:15:59they decided to restore the rock.

02:16:01In fact, they didn't really

02:16:03reconstruct it piece by piece.

02:16:05They made a plastic replica of the rock

02:16:07and placed it in the same place

02:16:09and in the same position.

02:16:11So, even today, passing through Tandil,

02:16:13you can see the famous rock of equilibrium.

02:16:15Rather a symbol now, of course,

02:16:17because it no longer swings

02:16:19and weighs only 9 tons.

02:16:21But it is still immediately recognizable.

02:16:23Devil's Tower,

02:16:25in Wyoming, United States.

02:16:27Do you remember this place

02:16:29in the movie,

02:16:31Encounter of the Third Kind?

02:16:33If not, you should go see it,

02:16:35but not right now.

02:16:37This place doesn't give you the impression

02:16:39of being a witness to any magic

02:16:41and doesn't really reveal the gravity

02:16:43under your eyes.

02:16:45It seems almost boring

02:16:47compared to the rest of the sites on my list,

02:16:49doesn't it?

02:16:51But the geologists simply can't explain

02:16:53how it came to be.

02:16:55It is a rock formation of 265 meters

02:16:57whose walls are so stiff

02:16:59that they are practically vertical.

02:17:01But that's not the most important thing.

02:17:03This piece of rock

02:17:05grew in the middle of the wavy plains of Wyoming,

02:17:07without anything similar

02:17:09to kilometers in circumference.

02:17:11So, how is it that such a flat landscape

02:17:13could suddenly give birth

02:17:15to something so big?

02:17:17Theories abound,

02:17:19but we still don't have the answer.

02:17:21My theory?

02:17:23Maybe this is where the Earth

02:17:25has a giant umbrella.

02:17:27If you have a better idea,

02:17:29my faith, I'm listening.

02:17:31Oregon Vortex, USA.

02:17:33The mystery house of Gold Hill

02:17:35in Oregon amazes its visitors

02:17:37with its effects that challenge gravity.

02:17:39You can't stand straight.

02:17:41You always have to lean over

02:17:43and hold on to something

02:17:45to keep your balance.

02:17:47The house is perfectly still

02:17:49wherever you put it,

02:17:51unlike the rest of the cabin.

02:17:53Even before the house was built,

02:17:55local Amerindian tribes

02:17:57called this place the Forbidden Land

02:17:59and avoided approaching it.

02:18:01But the owners of the house

02:18:03decided to make it an attraction

02:18:05and they succeeded.

02:18:07They created an atmosphere of mystery

02:18:09around the place

02:18:11and spread the news in the newspapers

02:18:13and later on the Internet.

02:18:15In fact, it's nothing more

02:18:17than a curiosity.

02:18:19An optical illusion created by man

02:18:21that deceives your eyes and other senses.

02:18:23Bedudson, Canada.

02:18:25OK, we talked about

02:18:27quite ambiguous things,

02:18:29but now it's time to get serious.

02:18:31The Bedudson anomaly

02:18:33is probably the only place in the world

02:18:35where gravity is actually lower

02:18:37than anywhere else on the planet.

02:18:39Even the most skeptical

02:18:41can't make fun of this phenomenon

02:18:43because it was discovered

02:18:45with precise scientific equipment.

02:18:47So, does this mean that gravity

02:18:49here is as low as, let's say,

02:18:51on the Moon?

02:18:53Unfortunately, or fortunately,

02:18:55I'm not sure yet.

02:18:57The difference is tiny.

02:18:59The exact value is 0.005%,

02:19:01which is one hundredth of a percent.

02:19:03You won't be able to feel it

02:19:05even if you do your best.

02:19:07But it's right there.

02:19:09According to scientists,

02:19:11it's been here for about 10,000 years.

02:19:13It compressed the rocks so much

02:19:15that they still can't

02:19:17fully recover,

02:19:19which changed Bedudson's

02:19:21gravitational field.

02:19:23However, in the future,

02:19:25gravity will return to normal

02:19:27in this area as well.

02:19:29No moonwalk for me then.

02:19:31A snowstorm is raging.

02:19:33It's extremely cold.

02:19:35Six legs sink into the snow

02:19:37to the knees.

02:19:39I'll have to come up with a solution.

02:19:41Maybe I can find something

02:19:43to cook it up with.

02:19:45I've got a good idea.

02:19:47Let's get to work.

02:19:49I'd better go on.

02:19:51I'll see you soon.

02:19:53Bye.

02:19:55I hope I'll be OK.

02:19:57I'm not sure yet.

02:19:59I have to be careful.

02:20:01I don't want to hurt myself.

02:20:03I'm not sure if I can do it.

02:20:05I don't want to hurt myself.

02:20:07in Genevue for a long time.

02:20:10He needs a good night's sleep and a hot meal.

02:20:13He hopes the inhabitants will be hospitable.

02:20:16Through the trees and the white mist,

02:20:19he sees the silhouettes of tents.

02:20:22Smoke escapes from some dwellings.

02:20:25Joe will probably arrive in time for lunch.

02:20:30When he arrives, the wind calms down.

02:20:33The blizzard has ended.

02:20:35He leaves the air and discovers the village on the edge of the frozen lake.

02:20:38It's strange, but there are no inhabitants anywhere.

02:20:41People are probably all at home,

02:20:44waiting for the weather to clear up.

02:20:48There is someone!

02:20:50shouts Joe, but he gets no answer.

02:20:53Hey, the smoke is escaping from this tent!

02:20:56Joe signals his presence, but no one opens.

02:21:01He hits several times, then enters.

02:21:04The tent is empty.

02:21:06Everything is in place.

02:21:08There is a piece of fabric with needles and thread on the table.

02:21:12Wood burns in the fireplace.

02:21:15It looks like people have just left.

02:21:18Joe enters the next tent and it's the same thing.

02:21:21Everything is in place, but there is no one.

02:21:27Joe crosses the tents and discovers a pit where a campfire was burning recently.

02:21:32Above, there is a rope to which a piece of meat is suspended.

02:21:36For one reason or another, they did not eat it.

02:21:41Lake Anjikuni is part of a watercourse.

02:21:44The Inuits fished there and exchanged various goods.

02:21:47Usually, there are a lot of people here,

02:21:50but today, something forced people to leave their homes.

02:21:54Why did they abandon all their belongings and where did they go?

02:21:58There is no trace around the village.

02:22:01The sledges are still there.

02:22:03The Inuits even left their dogs.

02:22:06The dogs help them to hunt and pull the sledges.

02:22:09No one would leave his warm clothes and his dogs,

02:22:12leaving here, especially in bad weather.

02:22:17Joe Labelle knows all this and concludes that something terrible has happened.

02:22:22His body trembles, not of cold but of fear.

02:22:26He travels the whole village and finds absolutely no one.

02:22:32Terrified, he leaves, goes to the nearest telegraphic post

02:22:37and sends a message to the police.

02:22:40After a while, people start to arrive.

02:22:43The police try to find the missing people

02:22:46and understand what happened, but in vain.

02:22:51Near the village, they find an empty tomb.

02:22:54During the ceremony, the Inuits placed stones around the place of burial.

02:23:00These stones are intact,

02:23:02which means that no animal has passed through there.

02:23:06So what happened?

02:23:10About thirty people lived in this village.

02:23:12They all disappeared.

02:23:14The inhabitants of the neighboring villages are of no help.

02:23:17They have no idea what happened.

02:23:20The only thing the police noticed were strange blue lights.

02:23:25In this region, the aurora borealis are a common phenomenon.

02:23:29The inhabitants of the region often see a glow in the starry sky.

02:23:34But today it is different.

02:23:36The light flashes.

02:23:38The local hunters saw something similar.

02:23:42They think that strange things were flying in the sky.

02:23:47All this happened in 1930.

02:23:50Nearly 90 years have passed since the disappearance of the village

02:23:54and many theories have come to light.

02:23:57According to one of them, it would be the fact of an extraterrestrial civilization.

02:24:01This theory says that the blue light that the inhabitants and the police saw in the sky

02:24:06were space ships.

02:24:08It is thought that during a sinister night,

02:24:10these ships would have descended into the village and would have taken all the inhabitants.

02:24:17Here is the science fiction version.

02:24:19There are other more realistic versions.

02:24:22Internet users have discovered that Joe Labelle did not have a hunting license.

02:24:26Maybe he was not a professional after all and invented everything.

02:24:30But at the time, few hunters had their license.

02:24:33So Joe remains a reliable witness.

02:24:37Going back to the source of all this information,

02:24:40we discover books and some newspaper articles from the 1930s.

02:24:46And none of these sources confirm that the mysterious story of Lake Anjikuni is true.

02:24:52Has this story been made up?

02:24:57Let's leave the snow of Canada for the hot plains of India.

02:25:01In this great country, there is a sinister village

02:25:04where people have also disappeared without a trace.

02:25:09This happened in the first half of the 19th century.

02:25:12Even today, the inhabitants avoid this place

02:25:15because they believe it to be haunted by invisible evil forces.

02:25:19So let's discover the story of the village of Kuldhara.

02:25:24It is located in the Rajasthan district.

02:25:27To get there, you can take a taxi to the village or the nearest town.

02:25:33The village is located far from any civilization.

02:25:35It looks deserted.

02:25:37There are only ruins.

02:25:40It looks like archaeologists have just abandoned it.

02:25:44But this is not an ancient city.

02:25:47The village was deserted more than 200 years ago.

02:25:51But until then, it was a prosperous place.

02:25:56Kuldhara was a large village.

02:25:58Most of the inhabitants were farmers.

02:26:01They sold their agricultural products.

02:26:04And then, one night, everything changed.

02:26:07People abandoned their houses and their businesses and fled.

02:26:11No one knows why.

02:26:13And no one knows where they went.

02:26:16We have never seen the inhabitants of Kuldhara again.

02:26:21Except for tourists, visitors are extremely rare.

02:26:24The locals are convinced that the village is cursed

02:26:27and that it is home to paranormal activities.

02:26:30If you ask the residents of the neighboring cities

02:26:33or if you look for information on the Internet,

02:26:36you will discover some legends.

02:26:38A popular version says that people left the village

02:26:41because of the lack of water.

02:26:43However, this does not explain why they left in the middle of the night

02:26:47and abandoned all their businesses.

02:26:51According to another version,

02:26:53the villagers fled to save the daughter of the chief of Kuldhara.

02:26:57A nearby chief fell in love with her and wanted to marry her.

02:27:02He threatened the inhabitants of serious consequences

02:27:05if the young girl rejected him.

02:27:07And he gave them one day to make a decision.

02:27:11The inhabitants refused to comply with his request.

02:27:14Out of solidarity, they decided to leave the village with the chief and his daughter.

02:27:21But if this is true, why did no one see them leave?

02:27:25Another village must have welcomed them.

02:27:28In addition, they would have needed their business.

02:27:33This is the common point between Kuldhara and Lake Andhikuni.

02:27:37People left a comfortable place for an unknown reason.

02:27:43A similar story took place in Ireland,

02:27:45in a small village on the island of Achilles.

02:27:48A fortnight of stone and straw houses along the Kimbey Valley.

02:27:53In documents dating from the 1830s,

02:27:56it is mentioned that this village was made up of a few small buildings.

02:28:00But today, there is practically nothing left,

02:28:02except for a few pieces of walls and small piles of earth.

02:28:08The inhabitants of the neighboring towns do not remember this village.

02:28:12But we know it thanks to the stories of the writer-travelers

02:28:15who described the incredible beauty of the place in their newspapers.

02:28:20The students of the School of Local Archaeology tried to find answers.

02:28:24They did some research and discovered that the inhabitants

02:28:27certainly had to leave their village because of hunger or an illness.

02:28:32The coldest part of our planet, Antarctica, never ceases to surprise us.

02:28:36Take a look at this fall called Blood Falls.

02:28:39Reddish water comes out of the white ice.

02:28:41Scientists have concluded that this color was linked to iron.

02:28:44The water that comes from the glacier oxidizes

02:28:46and takes a rust color when exposed to oxygen.

02:28:49And the red color appears.

02:28:51Take a step on Mount Gandeng.

02:28:53It lays eggs.

02:28:55Well, maybe not real eggs,

02:28:57but these stones certainly look like dinosaur eggs.

02:29:00That is why the mountain has become famous.

02:29:02These stone eggs, let's call them that,

02:29:04formed in a part of the mountain more than 500 million years ago.

02:29:08It is interesting to note that this phenomenon repeats itself once every 30 years.

02:29:12The eggs decline in different sizes and colors.

02:29:15These stones appear on the surface of the cliff.

02:29:19A study carried out in the region

02:29:21revealed that the composition of these stones

02:29:23was not the same as that of the other parts of the mountain.

02:29:26Here it is limestone rocks that predominate.

02:29:29They are more prone to erosion.

02:29:31They erode from day to day.

02:29:33It took three decades for the stones to take this egg shape.

02:29:36However, the process by which these rock formations

02:29:39can be perfectly spherical and smooth remains a mystery.

02:29:42According to scientists, each stone egg has an organic material core.

02:29:46They are made up of shells, remains of plants, fish teeth and skeletons.

02:29:50This may be a beginning of an explanation.

02:29:52The village of Goulou is close to stone eggs.

02:29:55Residents believe that these eggs are sacred.

02:29:58Villagers associate them with good fortune.

02:30:00In fact, almost every family has one in their house.

02:30:04Unfortunately, there are only about 70 eggs left.

02:30:07So if you want to see them, you better hurry.

02:30:11The structure of Richat is a circular geological phenomenon

02:30:15located in the Sahara Desert, near Mauritania.

02:30:18It is made up of rocks in several layers, and they look a lot like rings.

02:30:22No wonder this unique structure has attracted the attention of NASA.

02:30:26Seen from the sky, the geological element seems to be rotating on itself.

02:30:31Scientists still don't know how these rings appeared.

02:30:35Some say it's the impact of an asteroid.

02:30:38Others think it's a natural geological process.

02:30:41For them, the structure of Richat is an eroded and overgrown rock dome.

02:30:45Geologists often classify it as an anticlinal dome.

02:30:49Scientists have discovered that the rocks in the center are older than the outer rocks in the form of rings.

02:30:54So it would seem that the stones were eroded until they formed layers of flat rocks.

02:30:59Either way, there is no valid explanation for this phenomenon.

02:31:02And this mystery of the Sahara, 45 km long, is still not solved.

02:31:08Number 4 is Rapa Nui, or Isla de Pascua.

02:31:12But I bet you know it as Easter Island.

02:31:15Yes, it has three names.

02:31:17It was discovered by Jacob Roggeveen, who had no intention of looking for this island.

02:31:22He just landed there by chance on a Sunday, and that's where his name comes from.

02:31:26Jacob was actually looking for Terra Australis.

02:31:29And by the way, this is not Australia.

02:31:32It never existed, and it was just a hypothetical continent.

02:31:36In addition, he wanted to take a look at the land of Davies,

02:31:39which would have been seen in the past by Edward Davies, the pirate,

02:31:43and not Edward Davies, the saxophonist.

02:31:46Jacob did not make it either, although no one has ever seen this island,

02:31:50except for the pirate Davies himself.

02:31:52He may not have been able to discover the lands he wanted,

02:31:55but he discovered Easter Island instead.

02:31:57This island is a particular territory of Chile, located in the southeast of the Pacific Ocean.

02:32:03It is on this list because nearly a thousand stone statues, called moai,

02:32:07were discovered on the spot.

02:32:09They were created by the Rapanui people.

02:32:12Almost all these statues represent gigantic heads,

02:32:15but there are also a small number of kneeling figures with their hands on their bellies.

02:32:20Each statue represents leaders or other important members of the Easter Island society.

02:32:25To sculpt these statues, the inhabitants used volcanic stones that had been softened.

02:32:31The next stop is the Gate of Hell.

02:32:34Oh, don't worry, it's just the way people called the gas crater of Darvaza in Turkmenistan.

02:32:40This giant natural gas crater has been there for five decades,

02:32:44and it burns gas all the time.

02:32:47The president of the country would also like experts to find a way to put out this permanent fire pit.

02:32:53This site was accidentally created by workers in 1971,

02:32:57when they were working on a natural gas project.

02:32:59Since then, the flames have not ceased, and it has become a tourist attraction.

02:33:04Mysterious constructions are sometimes also built in our time.

02:33:08We don't need to go back millions of years, to civilizations that have disappeared for a long time.

02:33:13Edward Litskalin built on his own a structure called the Coral Castle, in Homestead, Florida.

02:33:19He didn't use big machines.

02:33:21He carved and sculpted nearly 1,100 tons of coral rock in 28 years, until 1951.

02:33:28It's a real mystery to understand how he managed to do it all by himself.

02:33:33Litskalin carved the sedimentary rock into various objects,

02:33:36such as walls, tables, chairs, a fountain and a solar dial.

02:33:40There is, of course, a legend behind this mystery.

02:33:43He was inspired to build this structure after being abandoned by his fiancée on their wedding day.

02:33:49Oh-oh! Planted in the hotel.

02:33:51He would have wanted to prove his love to her and the whole world.

02:33:55So he had to produce something extraordinary.

02:33:57Well, he clearly succeeded.

02:34:00Let's talk a little about the mystery of the fairy circles in Namibia.

02:34:04There are millions of circular spots on hundreds of kilometers,

02:34:08whose diameter varies from 3 to 20 meters.

02:34:11They are called fairy circles because they seem to have been created by fairies or by a creature from another world.

02:34:17They are essentially oval-shaped earth surrounded by grass.

02:34:21There are many local beliefs surrounding the creation of these marks.

02:34:25However, science says something else.

02:34:28For decades, biologists and mathematicians have been perplexed by the mystery of the Namibian fairy circles.

02:34:34There is more than one theory to explain this phenomenon.

02:34:37Here is a popular theory.

02:34:39As water is limited in the desert, plants compete to access it.

02:34:44Some plants spread and thrive in a plot.

02:34:47But the smaller plants, located nearby, cannot obtain the water necessary to survive.

02:34:51In the end, some of the vegetation disappears.

02:34:54And the others remain on the edge of the plot.

02:34:57This is why they form such irregular gaps.

02:35:01What if I told you that there is a hill in the city of Leh, in India,

02:35:05where, instead of rolling down, things go up?

02:35:09This is an optical illusion.

02:35:11The road seems to climb a hill because of the surrounding landscapes.

02:35:15However, the road actually goes down.

02:35:18This kind of phenomenon is called a magnetic hill.

02:35:22The scientific explanations vary.

02:35:24The most common theory states that the hill has such a strong magnetic force

02:35:28that it can attract cars in the vicinity.

02:35:31What would you say about seeing flaming rocks?

02:35:34Yanartas extends over an area of more than 3 square kilometers.

02:35:38The place is located on a rocky mountain in southwestern Turkey,

02:35:42near the city of Sirali.

02:35:44Yanartas owes its name to its appearance.

02:35:47It literally means flaming stone.

02:35:50The rocks have been burning for at least 2,500 years.

02:35:53And they will probably continue to burn for the next decades.

02:35:57The mountain where the rocks are located is an inactive volcano.

02:36:00It is therefore sprinkled with tiny fumaroles that release gases such as methane.

02:36:05This gas ignites when it comes in contact with oxygen and creates this flaming effect.

02:36:10Oh, and by the way, at the time,

02:36:13sailors used these flames as a natural lighthouse

02:36:16because they are very close to the coast.

02:36:18Today, it is more of a tourist attraction.

02:36:21Hikers love it too.

02:36:23Now, let's walk on the frozen Lake Abraham in Canada.

02:36:27In winter, the frozen water is filled with ice bubbles.

02:36:31It seems magical, but these white orbs are not so sure.

02:36:34They are composed of flammable methane gas.

02:36:37Oh, the beauty can be deceiving.

02:36:40The following image comes from Racetrack Playa in the Valley of Death in the United States.

02:36:45There is a dry lake where the rocks move.

02:36:48These strange rocks seem to have been pushed or dragged by someone or something.

02:36:53It left both a trace and a mystery behind it.

02:36:56But we understand today the force behind all this.

02:37:00Surprise, it's the wind.

02:37:02And a little ice.

02:37:04Scientists say that the wind pushes the rocks during the short periods when the ground is covered with ice.

02:37:1032 km south of Olympia, in the state of Washington,

02:37:13there are strange grassy mountains, 2.5 meters high and 9 meters wide.

02:37:19They cover an area of nearly 2.5 square kilometers.

02:37:23These small hills are known as Mima Mountains,

02:37:27and no one knows what created them.

02:37:29They have haunted geologists' dreams for nearly 200 years.

02:37:33Scientists debate the exact cause of the appearance of these hills.

02:37:37Among the main suspects, there are earthquakes, glaciers, gas chimneys,

02:37:42the influx of clay, and even termites.

02:37:45In 1942, geologists assumed that pocket rats could have created these hills.

02:37:51In 1987, the theory was tested.

02:37:54Small pieces of metal were pushed into the hills and monitored with metal detectors.

02:38:00When the pocket rats dug their holes, the pieces of metal were pushed up.

02:38:05A computer program analyzed these results,

02:38:08and it turned out that many generations of rats could have formed the hills.

02:38:13It would have taken them hundreds of years,

02:38:15but the reason why they would have pushed the earth up,

02:38:18when it takes a lot less energy to move it behind them, is not clear.

02:38:22So far, the involvement of the pocket rats is still just a theory.

02:38:26Scientists have always considered the Amazon rainforest as a large ecosystem

02:38:30filled with trees for millions of years.

02:38:33However, when the Amazon's rings, 5 meters wide, were discovered,

02:38:37it shook up all the theories.

02:38:40These rings proved that the region was very different

02:38:43before the forests began to grow there.

02:38:45It looked like a modern savannah.

02:38:48Scientists took soil samples near the lakes,

02:38:51and the results showed that this soil did not come from a tropical forest, but from arid land.

02:38:56This could mean that the people who lived here

02:38:59had a completely different environment from what scientists thought.

02:39:05Geologists still study the rings and try to understand what they were used for.

02:39:10Known as the Sahara Eye,

02:39:13the structure of Richa is a ring-shaped object 48 km wide,

02:39:17located in the middle of the desert.

02:39:19At first, it was thought that Richa was a meteorite impact site.

02:39:23But now, scientists think it was created by the erosion of a hill or mountain.

02:39:28It eroded over time, but left behind layers of rock rings

02:39:32that used to be a mountain.

02:39:35The eye is so prominent that astronauts can see it from the International Space Station.

02:39:41Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest place on Earth.

02:39:46But the strangest thing about it is that it could be buried under the ice.

02:39:51Until about 60 years ago, Antarctica was considered a flat Earth.

02:39:56Everything changed in 1958, when the Gomburtsev mountain range was discovered.

02:40:02It was hidden under 3 km of ice, and its peaks were more than 3,000 m high.

02:40:07The entire range extended over 1,200 km.

02:40:11This represents a third of Mount Everest's height,

02:40:14and about half the length of the Himalayas.

02:40:17No one has ever set eyes on the Gomburtsev mountains.

02:40:20The ice covers deep valleys and steep slopes,

02:40:23which could show what the Earth looked like millions of years ago.

02:40:27In eastern Antarctica, the Vostok Lake was discovered in 2012 during a drilling.

02:40:33Scientists found a lake of fresh, intact and unfrozen water,

02:40:36under more than 3 km of ice.

02:40:39The researchers believe that undiscovered microorganisms

02:40:42and unique geochemical processes could exist in the lake.

02:40:46After all, they haven't seen sunlight or been exposed to the Earth's atmosphere

02:40:50for more than 15 million years.

02:40:52But drilling in the lake could ruin the ecosystem below

02:40:56and contaminate one of the planet's last intact places.

02:41:00There is an anomaly of 106 m in the Indian Ocean,

02:41:03known as the geological depression of the Indian Ocean, IOGL in English.

02:41:08It produces the world's largest deforming natural gravitational force.

02:41:12Heavy mineral deposits, numerous deep-water faults

02:41:16and magma reservoirs disturb the magnetic field in this area.

02:41:20The Earth's gravity changes in different parts of the planet.

02:41:23This allows researchers to look for models

02:41:26and understand what happens under the surface.

02:41:29Higher gravitational forces usually mean denser materials below and vice versa.

02:41:34Some scientists believe that the anomaly could be a bump in the planet's mantle

02:41:38that goes up to its crust.

02:41:41The Crystal Cave is located in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.

02:41:45Its caves are filled with amazing gypsum crystals

02:41:48that flow through the entire underground area.

02:41:50The caves were discovered in 2000

02:41:52when workers were draining water from a zinc mine.

02:41:55It was then that they came across these sparkling structures.

02:41:58The crystals were so pure and so large, about 10 m long,

02:42:02and had such sharp edges that geologists couldn't date them

02:42:05by using conventional methods.

02:42:08Fortunately, researchers discovered samples of bacteria

02:42:1150,000 years old in one of these complex structures.

02:42:14It was extremely difficult to work in the caves.

02:42:17The temperatures reached 58°C

02:42:20and the humidity was extremely high.

02:42:23Scientists needed special cooling equipment

02:42:26to go down into the cave, even if it was only a short trip.

02:42:29Unfortunately, the company that owns the mine

02:42:32chose to flood the network of caves again,

02:42:35preventing any further research.

02:42:38About 720 km from Bangkok, in the northeast of Thailand,

02:42:41there is a rock formation 75 million years old.

02:42:45These rocks look like three whales swimming together.

02:42:48This magnificent motif, created by nature,

02:42:51was nicknamed the Three Whale Rock.

02:42:54Millions of years ago, this region was nothing more than a desert.

02:42:57But the earth has changed.

02:43:00Little by little, the ridge has been separated by the movement of the tectonic plates and erosion.

02:43:03This is how these spectacular formations were created.

02:43:06If you decide to explore the path system around the Three Whale Rock,

02:43:09you will find waterfalls,

02:43:12a fauna and an abundant flora.

02:43:15Locals call the Patomski Crater,

02:43:18located in Siberia, the Nest of the Eagle of Fire.

02:43:21It is a gigantic limestone mound,

02:43:24150 m wide and 40 m high.

02:43:27Nothing grows nearby or on its top,

02:43:30and the animals do their best to avoid this place.

02:43:33Discovered for the first time by geologists in 1949,

02:43:36it is thought that the crater is about 500 years old.

02:43:39The most likely theory of its origin is a steam explosion.

02:43:42It could have occurred during a period of rapid gas expansion in the region.

02:43:45Scientists think that the Nest of the Eagle of Fire

02:43:48could be a very rare gas volcano.

02:43:51Gigantic gas stocks could have been trapped in the depths of the earth.

02:43:54This could have happened because of the limestone

02:43:57that forms around these stocks and creates immense pressure.

02:44:00A sudden release of the stored gas

02:44:03could have formed this gargantuan hole in the surrounding forest.

02:44:06The lake, located in Western Australia,

02:44:09is only 610 m long,

02:44:12but its color has disconcerted geologists for a long time.

02:44:15Contrary to most pink lakes in the world,

02:44:18Lake Hillier has this pink tint all year long

02:44:21and it is not affected by sunlight or temperature.

02:44:24If you look at it from the sky,

02:44:27the vivid color of the lake contrasts strongly

02:44:30with the surrounding blue of the Great Australian Bay.

02:44:33The real reason behind the unique color of Lake Hillier

02:44:36is not yet fully understood.

02:44:39Many suppose that this has something to do with the microalgae present in the lake.

02:44:42Or it could be a reaction

02:44:45between the salt and the sodium bicarbonate present in the water.

02:44:48The Chocolate Hills of Bohol province, in the Philippines,

02:44:51are covered with green and lush vegetation

02:44:54for most of the year.

02:44:57But these more than 1,200 mountains

02:45:00take a brown-chocolate color during the dry season.

02:45:03That's what gave them their name.

02:45:06Strangely, no tree or shrub grows on them.

02:45:09Another mystery is how the mountains

02:45:12managed to develop so symmetrically.

02:45:15There are myths about giants throwing rocks

02:45:18at each other for days and days during a fight.

02:45:21Scientists believe that the 45 m high mountains

02:45:24were created by the erosion of limestone stacked on clay.

02:45:27But to this day,

02:45:30the mystery of their formation is still unresolved.

02:45:33The Great Discordance presents about a billion years

02:45:36of missing limestone layers.

02:45:39It appears in all kinds of limestone formations around the world.

02:45:42Scientists have tried to find the answers to the question

02:45:45of how and when this huge amount of material

02:45:48could have disappeared.

02:45:51One of the most plausible theories involves glaciers.

02:45:54This could have happened during the known period

02:45:57known as the Snowball Earth.

02:46:00It was at this time that the planet was entirely covered with ice.

02:46:03This created hundreds of thousands of tons of rocks and soil.

02:46:06This left a gigantic space

02:46:09that could reach 1 km thick between the nearby limestone layers.

02:46:12Some geologists believe that the layer disappeared

02:46:15when the supercontinent Rodinia formed and then broke.

02:46:18Located on the peninsulas of Yamal and Jidan,

02:46:21these vast holes were discovered in 2014.

02:46:24They seem to continue to change and evolve.

02:46:27The holes widen and people find them more often.

02:46:31Of course, theories about how they appeared are not lacking.

02:46:34Suggestions go from meteorite impacts

02:46:37to the activities of other civilizations.

02:46:40But the most common explanation is that methane reacted

02:46:43with water particles after the planet's permafrost

02:46:46began to melt.

02:46:49This led to the explosion of methane bubbles through the ice.

02:46:52The craters could be thousands of years old, but no one is sure.

02:46:55Are you used to hitchhiking

02:46:58by going to work?

02:47:01In this case, you should be aware of the hitchhiker's scam on the road.

02:47:04It is a scam aimed at unsuspecting drivers.

02:47:07The scam usually starts with a person

02:47:10who pretends to be a hitchhiker

02:47:13and signs a car on the side of the road.

02:47:16She may claim to be in distress or need a driver

02:47:19to get to a neighboring city.

02:47:22In some cases, the hitchhiker can ask the driver

02:47:25for help, like a gas station or a supermarket

02:47:28where he will disappear with the money or other valuables he has stolen.

02:47:31This scam can also take place in a team.

02:47:34A group of people signs a car and asks to be stopped.

02:47:37Once the car is on the road,

02:47:40they threaten the driver and steal money, valuables,

02:47:43even the car itself.

02:47:46It is important to be aware of this scam

02:47:49and to always be careful when hitchhiking.

02:47:52It is preferable to avoid giving money or other valuables

02:47:55to anyone who claims to need a transport

02:47:58and to never stop at a place that is not safe or familiar.

02:48:03Hitchhikers are not the only cause of trouble on the road.

02:48:06A slice of cheese is not something you expect to find

02:48:09on your parked car, is it?

02:48:12However, it may be the sign of a dangerous situation.

02:48:15A woman told this online experience,

02:48:18thinking it was a simple farce made by a young man from the neighborhood.

02:48:21She decided to call a friend and ask him for help to clean the car.

02:48:24But when the two women began to remove the cheese

02:48:27melted on the windshield,

02:48:30they saw something strange nearby.

02:48:33She remembers seeing a white truck arrive.

02:48:36Inside were several men who looked at them suspiciously.

02:48:39As she was not alone,

02:48:42she judged that there was no danger of ending up cleaning the car.

02:48:45Even if she did not feel comfortable with the idea of being stripped.

02:48:48It took them about an hour to scrape the cheese

02:48:51which had melted under the effect of the heat.

02:48:54She still wondered if it was not a tactic to steal a person.

02:48:57Indeed, most people would be so focused

02:49:00on cleaning their car

02:49:03that they would be distracted and would not keep an eye

02:49:06on the objects they left in the car,

02:49:09such as bags, wallets or even articles recently purchased.

02:49:12Sometimes it could be a strategy to remove.

02:49:15The sticky cheese would force the person

02:49:18to focus on cleaning the car

02:49:21and would prevent him from seeing the suspicious people

02:49:24who would approach her in time.

02:49:27What must be remembered from this story

02:49:30is that if you ever see a piece of cheese on your car,

02:49:33you might as well leave it as it is,

02:49:36as long as it does not block your view and does not really affect your driving.

02:49:39The safest thing is to clean it at home.

02:49:42You have to go to the nearest washing station

02:49:45which will know how to clean the vehicle as best as possible

02:49:48without damaging the paint.

02:49:51Of course, the scam of a piece of cheese on a car

02:49:54may be just a coincidence,

02:49:57but some scams are more legitimate,

02:50:00such as the following one,

02:50:03which is a rather unusual method to take over other people's cars.

02:50:06If you notice a t-shirt or a hooded sweater on your windshield

02:50:09do not hesitate to get rid of it.

02:50:12Again, it may be an object deliberately placed there

02:50:15to divert your attention while your car is being removed.

02:50:18Leave as soon as possible, if you can,

02:50:21and go to a safe, well-lit place

02:50:24and crowded with people.

02:50:27There, you can easily remove the object on your car.

02:50:30Some people even found money under their windshield wipers.

02:50:33It is quite obvious that those who left it there

02:50:36probably had the same intention.

02:50:39There are effective methods to reduce the risk of your car being stolen.

02:50:42When you park your car,

02:50:45make sure your tires are facing the sidewalk.

02:50:48If the wheels of the car are in this position,

02:50:51the thieves are less likely to be able to move with the vehicle.

02:50:54They will see that the car needs more time and energy to move,

02:50:57and it will therefore become a less interesting target.

02:51:00Unfortunately, scams on the road are quite common,

02:51:03and one of the most common is the famous scam at the car repair shop.

02:51:06This scam consists of leaving oil,

02:51:09metal nails or glass shards on the road

02:51:12and waiting for the drivers to fall into the trap.

02:51:15If such a practice damages the car,

02:51:18the thieves arise from nowhere

02:51:21and offer you high-priced towing services.

02:51:24They will try to put pressure on you to use their services,

02:51:27because most of the time they place these traps in strategic places.

02:51:30They make sure that people are isolated in places

02:51:33where visibility is reduced

02:51:36and where there are no service stations in sight

02:51:39to assess the damage caused to the car.

02:51:42If, for example, towing is the only possible option,

02:51:45the tow truck will take advantage of it to take the car

02:51:48to unpleasant workshops by your insurance company.

02:51:51This means that you will have to pay even more money to get your car back.

02:51:54If you have been driving for a long time,

02:51:57you know that the driver who hits another vehicle

02:52:00from behind is always responsible.

02:52:03Indeed, you should always keep a comfortable distance

02:52:06from the car in front of you

02:52:09in order to be able to stop safely in an emergency situation.

02:52:12Some thieves take the opportunity to brake abruptly several times,

02:52:15causing a collision.

02:52:18This dangerous tactic is used to get money for alleged damage

02:52:21and even for false medical fees.

02:52:24To avoid being a victim of this scam,

02:52:27it is advisable to slow down and keep a safe distance.

02:52:30In particular, with suspicious vehicles or chaotic drivers.

02:52:33If a thief continues to harass you in traffic,

02:52:36the best thing to do

02:52:39is to go to the nearest police station

02:52:42and report him.

02:52:45Let's take an example.

02:52:48You are driving on the road and suddenly,

02:52:51you notice that your wheels are smoking.

02:52:54You stop quickly on the low side of the road.

02:52:57The motorcyclist then offers to help you

02:53:00by calling a mechanic to check your wheels.

02:53:03Surprisingly, the mechanic arrives very quickly,

02:53:06but he deactivates your braking system

02:53:09while inspecting the cause of the smoke.

02:53:12He then asks you to test your brakes,

02:53:15which will obviously not work since he has already deactivated them.

02:53:18But he will ask you for a huge price for this.

02:53:21Moral of the story,

02:53:24stay true to your mechanic or your trustworthy company.

02:53:27You never know who you might meet on the road.

02:53:30Some scams are not even authentic,

02:53:33but are urban legends.

02:53:36Many people claim to have seen the wrong way man

02:53:39or the man who drives in the opposite direction on the roads.

02:53:42A version of this story mentions a man

02:53:45stuck in a street in a unique way,

02:53:48causing chaos and confusion,

02:53:51while other drivers try to avoid it.

02:53:54It is said of this man that he is crazy and dangerous,

02:53:57with a wild look in the eyes and a inclination for careless driving.

02:54:00Other versions say that he does not even drive,

02:54:03but that once you see this mysterious person on the side of the road

02:54:06when you get home, you have to turn around

02:54:09and avoid going back to your house for at least a week.

02:54:12Something serious could happen.

02:54:15There are countless stories of accidents avoided justly

02:54:18with this mysterious character.

02:54:21Some even say that they were hit by man and suffered serious injuries.

02:54:24Despite the many observations and stories,

02:54:27there is no concrete proof of the real existence

02:54:30of the man who drives in the opposite direction.

02:54:33Many experts believe that this legend is only a simple warning

02:54:36intended to remind people that they must be careful

02:54:39to those around them and drive carefully.

02:54:42However, the legend persists and continues to be transmitted

02:54:45from generation to generation,

02:54:48making it one of the most tenacious urban myths of all time.
