Mysteries Of The 
World 
By venkatesan k k 
Venkatesh a 
Vignesh d
What is Mystery? 
• Mystery is something that is difficult or 
impossible to understand or explain. 
• It can be a secret, riddle or a puzzle 
hence needs intelligence in order to 
reveal the unknown.
• There are lot of Mysteries around 
the world. They can be from what 
we see everyday around us. 
Why do the young try to act so much 
older than they are, but the older try 
their best to look and feel young. 
 Why people with the most money 
are the most unhappy, and people 
with nothing much are the happiest. 
Let us see some unsolved mysteries 
of the world.
The Bermuda Triangle 
• The Bermuda Triangle is a large 
part of ocean in the North Atlantic 
that has been the source of many 
plain- and boat disappearances. 
• A number of explanations have 
been suggested over the years 
ranging from; time warps, extreme 
weather to alien abductions. 
• There is substantial evidence to 
show that many of the 
disappearances have been 
exaggerated, but even if those 
were excluded from the total count, 
the odds of vanishing into thin air 
are higher in the Bermuda Triangle 
than anywhere else. 
• The Bermuda Triangle is still one 
of the biggest unsolved mysteries 
in the world.
The Loch Ness Monster 
• The Loch Ness Monster is a 
legendary animal that supposedly 
resides in the depths of Loch Ness, 
a long narrow lake situated in rural 
Scotland. 
• Stories concerning the monster 
date back to the 6th century A.D. 
The region was in complete 
isolation until a road was built 
alongside the lake in 1933. 
• Then large numbers of people 
travelled through the region for the 
very first time. Over the years 
thousands have reported seeing 
something in the lake. Most reports 
depict a long neck surging from the 
water with a small head of a 
unknown creature.
The Zodiac Killer 
• In the late 60s and early 
70s, the Zodiac Killer 
terrorized northern 
California, murdering four 
men and three women. 
• The killer sent letters 
containing four 
cryptograms to the local 
media. Of the four 
cryptograms sent, only one 
has been definitively 
solved. 
• Despite several people 
coming forward over the 
years claiming to know the 
identity of the killer, the 
murderer's identity is still 
unknown.
The Bigfoot 
• Bigfoot is world-famous 
for scaring the 
hikers and hunters in 
North America. 
Scientists consider 
Sasquatch to be the 
result of folklore and 
misidentification. 
However, many people 
still believe these 
humanoid creatures 
exist around the 
world, just like the 
Yeti of the Himalayas.
Tamam Shud 
• In December 1948, an 
unidentified man was found 
dead in Somerton Beach, 
located in Adelaide, 
Australia. 
• Found in one of his pockets 
was a piece of paper with 
the words “Tamam Shud” 
written on it. When the 
words were translated they 
meant “finished” or 
“ended”. 
• Although governments 
around the world have tried 
to identify the man his 
identity has remained a 
mystery.
Atlantis-the Lost city 
• Atlantis is a legendary island 
first mentioned in 350 BC by 
Plato. He wrote about a 
beautiful island in the Atlantic 
Ocean that went under the 
ocean waves in one day and 
one night. 
• For years people have been 
looking for this mysterious lost 
city. The exact location of the 
lost city of Atlantis has been 
questioned by many people. 
• Some people think it's lost 
somewhere in Central America 
and some think its near Andes 
mountains in Bolivia. However 
its exact location has not been 
found yet.
The Wow Signal 
• On a summer night in 1977, a 
signal was caught by a big 
telescope and it seemed for a 
short period of time that 
human history is going to 
change. The message was sent 
from another world and lasted 
for seventy seconds. 
• The signal was actually shift of 
letters to numbers and was so 
intriguing that Ehman circled 
the letters with red ink and 
wrote “Wow” on it, since then 
it is known as “The Wow” 
signal. 
• Many professionals and 
astronauts tried to actually 
find out the exact meaning of 
that signal but did not succeed 
and the signal has never been 
found again.
Georgia Guidestones 
• Also identified as the 
American version of 
Stonehenge, the Georgia 
Guidestones located in 
Elbert County are 
shrouded in mystery, 
although they were 
erected only in 1979. 
• Written on the walls are 
10 “new commandments” 
written in English, 
Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, 
Arabic, China, Russia, and 
Spanish although no one 
is sure why or for whom 
they were meant.
The Taulas Of Menorca 
• The taulas are ancient 
megaliths that stand on the 
Spanish island of Menorca, 
quite similar in appearance 
to the more famous 
Stonehenge. 
• While it is thought that the 
taulas were erected by the 
ancient inhabitants of the 
island at some point after 
2000 B.C., there is no 
concrete evidence as to 
why the structures were 
built or why they are found 
only on Menorca and not on 
neighboring islands.
The Bouvet Island Lifeboat 
• Lying deep in the South Atlantic, 
Bouvet Island has been 
described as among the most 
isolated places on Earth. 
• The nearest land mass is 
Antarctica, more than 1,700 km 
further south. 
• No has ever inhabited the island 
and since plant life is 
unsustainable there, it is likely 
that no one ever will. Yet when a 
British expedition arrived from 
South Africa in 1964, they 
discovered an abandoned lifeboat 
in a lagoon on the island. 
• Not far from the boat were oars, 
wood, a drum, and a copper tank. 
The boat was in a good 
condition, but the expedition 
party could find no trace of any 
passengers.
Foo Fighters 
• The term “foo fighters” was 
applied to various UFO 
sightings that occurred during 
the Second World War. During 
the war, fighter pilots and 
warships noticed strange 
lights in the sky and silver 
objects that looked like discs 
zipping overhead. 
• In late 1942, a Royal Air Force 
pilot was flying a Hurricane 
fighter plane over France when 
he noticed two strange-looking 
lights flying toward his aircraft. 
He assumed they were tracer 
fire—until he realized that the 
lights were actually following 
him, repeating all the moves he 
made while in the air.
