Mount Kyash is a sacred mountain shaped like a natural pyramid with four nearly right angled sides. This mountain is about 22,000 ft high and has never been climbed not because it is impossible but because religions forbid reaching the top.

From this mountain area, four major rivers flow in four directions as if the mountain is the energy center of the continent. Satellite images show that the mountain's peak is almost perfectly symmetrical, making some believe it is not fully natural. Pilgrims walk around the base of the mountain on a route about 32 mi long to cleanse their sins and seek spiritual freedom.

Some theories suggest that Mount Kaash could be an ancient man-made structure covered by rock over time. Uh, Rau Muru is a giant rock about 23 ft tall carved into a T-shaped door around 6 ft deep. But the strange thing is it leads nowhere.

The entire structure is made from a single stone block with no signs of cutting tools or joints. [Music] [Music] Locals believe it is a gateway to the world of the gods, a place to move through different dimensions. A few people who meditated there felt like they were being pulled into an invisible energy field.

[Music] Magnetic field devices often get interference when near this area. Even though it has been exposed for thousands of years, the surface of the stone door shows very little erosion. [Music] [Music] Up to now, no official archaeological explanation has fully convinced experts, making the true origin and purpose of Aramamuru even more mysterious.

[Music] Alola is a unique ancient heritage site with giant stone tombs carved directly into sandstone cliffs dating back over 2,000 years. Some tombs still show chisel marks as if they were carved just yesterday, while many were left unfinished for unknown [Music] reasons. Although they are tombs, most of them are completely empty inside with no human remains or burial items.

[Music] Manu Punire is a group of seven giant rock pillars standing between 100 and 130 ft tall in a remote mountain region and is called one of the world's strangest natural wonders. [Music] [Music] These rocks have twisted shapes, deep grooves, and rough surfaces that look like they were carved by giant hands over time. They were formed by wind and ice erosion over millions of years, leaving only the hardest stone [Music] behind.

What makes the site mysterious is the unusual uniformity in height and spacing among the pillars, making them seem almost man-made. Some legends say they are giants turned to stone during a battle with gods. Many visitors also report strange phenomena like compass deviation, sudden changes in air pressure, and wind sounds that echo like voices from another world.

[Music] L Cru Kens is an ancient burial site over 5,000 years old known for large stone mounds aligned with the sunrise on the spring and fall equinox. [Music] [Music] One of the tombs has a passage precisely designed to let sunlight shine through and light up the carved symbols inside. Many of the stones here weigh over five tons, but were moved and placed high up without a known method.

Some carvings match modern astronomy models showing planetary paths and star patterns. The tombs have rare cross shapes that may carry sacred meaning about life and death. [Music] [Music] Many researchers think this may be the oldest astronomical observatory.

in Europe. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] The underground cities of Capidoshia are ancient structures thousands of years old, large enough to hold tens of thousands of people and reaching depths over 200 ft. What makes them special is they were carved into soft but strong volcanic ash rock allowing deep construction without collapse.

[Music] [Music] [Music] The tunnels and rooms are connected like a maze, making the place feel both mysterious and overwhelming. The biggest mystery is that no one knows exactly who first built them or how they managed to dig so much with simple tools. [Music] Many people who went deep inside reported dizziness, confusion, or the strange feeling of being watched.

[Music] [Music] Bermuda Triangle is a world famous area known for mysterious disappearances of ships and planes that modern science still cannot clearly explain. In over 100 years, more than 1,000 cases have been recorded. Many happening in perfect weather with no distress signals sent.

[Music] Some pilots reported experiencing time distortion, feeling like only minutes passed, while their clock showed hours had gone. Researchers found methane gas bubbles under the sea that might cause ships to lose buoyancy and sink instantly. Despite these risks and myths, it remains one of the busiest sea and air routts on the planet.

Bermuda Triangle has become a symbol of unsolved mysteries deep in the ocean. [Music] Muaki boulders. are round stones scattered along the coast, measuring from 3 to 7 ft in diameter and weighing over 7 tons.

Known for being nearly perfect spheres not made by humans. Some boulders when cracked open reveal golden pyite crystals and concentric layers that look like giant eggshells. Local legends say they are fossils of sacred objects from mythical times like drums, wine gourds, or fish baskets.

[Music] [Music] [Music] Although science says they formed from mineral buildup in mud over millions of years, their Perfect shape and inner patterns still make many people think they are not fully natural. This is one of the world's most mysterious geological phenomena with a surreal and deeply intriguing appearance. [Music] [Music] the Door to Hell is a giant gas crater that has been burning for over 50 years in the desert with a diameter of about 230 ft and a depth of nearly 100 [Music] ft.

The fire was set in 1971 to stop leaking methane gas, but instead of going out in a few days, it still burns today. [Music] Inside the crater, there are many small independent flames creating a scene like an active volcano. Even though it is not a volcano, the bright red light and rising smoke often cause confusion.

The government once tried to put out the fire but failed due to high gas pressure. [Music] Blickling Hall is one of the most famous and mysterious old estates built in the early 17th century and linked to the legend of Anne Berlin, the queen executed under King Henry VIII.

[Music] With its magnificent exterior and unexplained happenings, Blickling Hall represents the beauty of the past mixed with the haunting of unsettled memories. The caves of Agile is a vast limestone cave system stretching over 16 mi, famous for giant stelactites and stelagmmites formed over millions of years by water [Music] erosion. When standing in the center, whispers from more than 300 ft away can be heard clearly, turning this cave into a rare harmony of nature, acoustics, and history.
