    The Portuguese traveller Antonio de Montezinos brought back reports that some of the Lost Tribes were living among the Native Americans of the Andes in South America. In response to this, Menasseh ben Israel, a noted rabbi of Amsterdam, wrote on December 23, 1649:
    ... I think that the Ten Tribes live not only there ... but also in other lands scattered everywhere; these never did come back to the Second Temple and they keep till this day still the Jewish Religion ...

    I think that may help explain the hebrew carving in Rio

    The Nazca Lines in Peru, a mystery that anyone can go and see today.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_Lines

    The Tunguska Event of 1912. Incredible that it happened in one of the most isolated places on earth, if it happened in Europe, tens of thousands if not more would have died.

    Watch 'Ancient Aliens' on History to see all of the best ones.

    The show should be named 'Ancient Mysteries' in fairness...

    You people need Skeptoid.

    He has done podcasts on a lot of the mysteries that have been brought up in this thread.

    He's a bit of a killjoy, though.

    Or just..."When Critical Thinking Breaks Down". This gets regular repeats on satellite, and I can never resist watching because it's great entertainment. I can never quite make up my mind whether the narrator is genuinely breathlessly enthusiastic about the subject, or whether he's just taking the p155. The token sceptic is brilliant too: "It's a theory...some people believe it....some people believe in the Easter Bunny". Or on the subject of the ancient Egyptian lightbulb..."It's an eggplant!"

    Dont think I've seen either of those tbh. I'm familiar with the lightbulb.

    As for the Easter bunny? Mystery solved IMO :D

    What happened to the Neaderthals and what were they like ?

    We co-existed with them and share some of their DNA.

    Going to second "Bloop" and the other related unknown sounds from the depths of the oceans. Who knows what's down there. There's reports of whales with gigantic suction marks from squid - how big does a squid have to be to take on a killer whale or bigger ? :eek:
