    OR!!!!! As some ancient astronaut theorsists believe... ancient carvings of Turtles represent modern day fighter jets!

    Funny you should say that...I was at an airshow once, and as I watched an F-16 blast down the flightline at full afterburner I thought..."Wow...it could almost be a real turtle..." ;)

    I think that may help explain the hebrew carving in Rio
    Why would Jewish people be making inscriptions about the Phoenicians, and leave not a trace of themselves? :confused:

    Forgery sounds like a pretty convincing explanation I think.

    my only concern is how did the Jews cross the atlantic ... Unless they went northwest from Europe and traveled down north america and arrived in central American or north America like in the book of mormon

    The Crawford Family Murder. I read a book about it when I lived in Australia, and always wondered what became of the father.

    The Murder of Isidor Fink

    Classic locked-room mystery. Fink was found shot dead but there was no gun in the room, the door was locked from the inside and there was no other way to leave the room.
    I always loved using this in my English-language classes to get people discussing it.

    Though the murder was never solved, police later came up with an explanation that's generally accepted as what happened, though no-one knows why Fink would have been murdered.

    What probably happened...
    The murderer knocked on the door, Fink answered and the murderer stayed in the hallway while shooting Fink through the open doorway, then ran away. Then (the least plausible part), the dying Fink managed to lock the door before he died.

    I would have said the murderer rang the door bell, Fink came to the hall and was shot through the letter box?

    I always wondered about the Philadelphia Experiment. Definitely sounds like something the US military would of been messing around with during WW2.

    Not a mystery but its also mad what they got up to in Project Mkultra

    UVB-76
    UVB-76 (sometimes referred to as UZB-76, but recently MDZhB) is the call sign of a shortwave radio station that usually broadcasts on the frequency 4625 kHz (AM suppressed lower sideband). It is known among radio listeners by the nickname The Buzzer. It features a short, monotonous buzz tone, repeating at a rate of approximately 25 tones per minute, for 24 hours per day. The station has been observed since around 1982. On rare occasions, the buzzer signal is interrupted and a voice transmission in Russian takes place. Despite much speculation, the actual purpose of this station remains unknown to the public.

    The Mary Celeste is a good one. Madeleine McCann is another.

    JonBenet Ramsay murder...who wrote the ransom note? Was it the mother?

    Growing up, the story of the missing Beaumont children always scared me. Probably not heard of so much over here.

    My sentiments exactly.

    I'd not heard of either, but that Dyatlov Pass case is really, really disturbing. Why the hell would they head off out into the cold in their underwear... and the tongue. What the hell? :eek:

    Very interesting thread this.

    Ooh, that's a good theory. I don't know if the door had a letterbox or not (might have had one of the American-style outdoor ones, but if it did have a letterbox that'd be a good explanation.

    Or, the murderer had a key to the room. Was sitting in the room when Fink arrived home, shot him, walked over the body, and locked the door on his way out.

    Door was locked from the inside though? :confused:

    But, what does locked from the inside actually mean? A dead bolt or a chain? You can unchain a door using a long sturdy object. A dead bolt during this time may have easily been opened with a slim instrument sliding between the bolt and the catch. I've managed to unlock a few doors that were technically locked from the inside.
