In addition to modern megacities, there are many places on our planet that are closely associated with legends, myths and unsolved mysteries. Numerous minds of scientists are still struggling to understand and solve their mysteries. Maybe you already know them?
USA. Mounds of Cahokia
This is the name of the ancient city where Indian tribes lived fifteen hundred years ago. They were distinguished by high development, for they built a large-scale city and a huge solar calendar. It is not known why the forty thousand people left their lands and where they disappeared from the maps of the Earth. Tourists are frequent guests of the mounds, whose goal is to find an answer to the riddle of the Kakhokian tribe.
USA. Devil's Tower
Looking at the rocky statue, it seems that it was created by man, its configuration is so correct. The dimensions of the "tower" are several times larger than the Cheops pyramid. It consists of numerous stone "columns" with pointed ends. Locals believe that the devil himself created the rock.

Mexico. Chavinda
About 6 thousand people now live in the Mexican city, in their opinion, huge treasures are hidden on their land. But since this is "the center of intersection of the real and otherworldly worlds", none of the treasure hunters could find anything. The natives explain this by the intervention of the protective forces of the "other world".
Ireland. Newgrange
On the territory of the city there is a rounded stone corridor, divided across by a long room. The construction is more than 5,000 years old. Scientists believe that this is someone's burial, but the true purpose of the building cannot be found out. How did the ancient settlers build such a clear structure, which has survived to this day and remains impervious to moisture.
Japan. Yonaguni pyramids
In the underwater world near the Japanese remains of Yonaguni, the oldest pyramids have been preserved. Their age is 10,000 years. Whether the step giants are the work of human hands or created by nature, no one can say for sure. If it is proved that they were built by ancient civilizations, then historians believe that it will be necessary to rewrite the entire history of mankind.
Peru. Nasca
Geoglyphs in the desert regions of Peru have long intrigued scientists. The tribes inhabiting the area left no records explaining the appearance of giant lines. Therefore, all the emerging assumptions remain just another hypothesis.
Easter Island. Moai Monuments
These giant statues have long been debated. It is clear that their authors were the masters of the ancient civilization. But the purpose, the method of construction, and the fate of the people there continues to remain a mystery.
China. Black Bamboo Hollow
A mysterious place in China strikes not with its historical value, but with its natural features. Special abnormal climatic conditions have developed there: the weather changes instantly, everything is covered with thick fog and the soil begins to sink sharply. Apparently, this explains the disappearance of people and animals that went to the ravine. Today, not a single inhabitant can be forced to enter the area they call the "Black Bamboo Hollow".
Mauritania. Eye of the Sahara
Even from space, ellipsoidal rings with a diameter of up to 50 kilometers are visible. Their appearance dates back to the Proterozoic era, in which the Earth was 500 million years ago.
Germany. Goseck circle
In the 90s, from an airplane, observers accidentally examined the outlines of a regular circle. Having restored it, scientists were puzzled by the purpose of the building. Hypothetically, it was the center of the oldest observatory used for observing the stars and compiling the calendar. But again, this is just a guess …
Russia. Arkaim
The oldest settlement was recently discovered on the territory of the Chelyabinsk region. Many historians and archaeologists believe that this is the ancestral home of the ancient people of the Aryans, who became the ancestors of European, Indian and Persian civilizations.
