Most Mysteries Underground discovery in the world

HELLO there how are you,in this world there is lots of myestries are hidden. Some are discovered and some are still hidden, here are 8 incredible underground discoveries.

 8. THE WILLIAMS ENIGMALITH While on a hike in 1998, electrical engineerJohn J. Williams spotted what looked like an electrical plug protruding from the groundand began digging. The three-pronged plug, he discovered, wasembedded in a small rock. Williams claimed that the bizarre item wasunearthed in a remote location in North America, far from plants, factories, and industrialcomplexes - you know, places where you might expect to find an unidentified or strange-lookingelectrical device. Out of an alleged fear that other mysteriousrelics will be discovered by curious treasure hunters, Williams refuses to give the exactlocation of where he found this device. The item is known as an “enigmalith” - acombination of the words “enigma” and “monolith” - or a “petradox.” Due to the secrecy and wild extraterrestrialtheories surrounding the object, many members of the scientific community have dismissedthe enigmalith as a hoax. They have even rejected Williams’ invitationto make the rock available to any researcher for analysis, as long as he’s present, thestone is unharmed, and he doesn’t have to pay for it. A geological analysis found the granite rockto be around 100,000 years old; and, according to Williams, who’s had the rock examinedby an engineer and a geologist, the specimen bears no signs of its plug-like feature havingbeen affixed in any way, including welding or the use of glue. Williams has also willingly provided an x-rayof the rock, which shows that the three-pronged structure extends into an internal structurewithin the stone. What are your thoughts? Is the rock a hoax, or is the scientific communityfearful, perhaps, of what they might find if they investigate? Let me know in the comments below!!

 7. THE SCREAMING MUMMY In 1886, Gaston Maspero, head of the EgyptianAntiquities Service, happened upon an unusually plain burial box while going about his typicalwork duties. The conspicuously unmarked container providedno clues whatsoever as to the identity of the person inside. Things only got weirder when Maspero openedthe mysterious vessel. The body inside was wrapped in sheepskin - asign that it was thought of as ‘unclean’ - and the limbs were bound in leather. Most shockingly, the mummy’s face conveyeda terrified expression, its mouth having been left wide open. Experts speculated that the mummy, nicknamedUnknown Man E, had been tortured to death in some way - buried alive, perhaps, or maybepoisoned. Researchers later figured out that such anagonized facial expression is simply the result of a mummy’s jaw not being strapped shut. However, the peculiar burial methods of UnknownMan E indicate that there were other mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. Earlier this year, experts revealed that theyfinally think they know who the mummy is: the son of Ramses III, who was hanged afterplotting to kill his father. The connection between father and son wasdetected through DNA analysis of the bones. CT scans revealed that multiple assailantscut off the man’s toe and slit his throat.

 6. ROMAN COINS IN JAPANESE CASTLE In late 2016, archaeologists dug up ten rustycopper coins behind Katsuren Castle, a UNESCO heritage site in Japan. Four of the “little round things” wereinstantly recognized as originating from the Roman Era by archaeologist Toshio Tsukamoto,who had previously studied sites in Italy and Spain. They were traced back to the third and fourthcenturies of the European kingdoms. A fifth coin, inscribed with the year 1687,was determined to be from the Ottoman Empire. Although Tsukamoto stated that there was nomistaking the authenticity of the coins, Masaki Yokoo, a city official in charge of the excavationproject, asserted that at first, they didn’t know that the “little round things” werecoins, and even mistook them for armor parts. The image of Constantine I is inscribed onone of the coins, while another displays a helmeted figure stabbing an enemy with a spearand holding a shield in his other hand. Why were Roman and Ottoman coins discoveredas far away as Japan? Experts are certainly somewhat baffled bythis. The team that found the treasure believesit could have been brought to Japan centuries later by Chinese or Southeast Asian explorers,then planted during a pacifying ritual at the castle, which was abandoned in 1548. They think that it was probably used as decorationor treasure, rather than currency. And now for number 5 but first, if you area returning subscriber, welcome back!! Glad to see you again!!

5. A CINEMA In late 2004, Parisian police made a startlingdiscovery among the city’s already perplexing and extensive 170-mile underground network:a cinema. The force’s sports squad, which is responsiblefor patrolling these tunnels and catacombs, was performing a training exercise when theyencountered a tarp with a sign on it reading “Building Site; No Access.” Behind the tarp was a tunnel containing adesk and a closed-circuit surveillance system. The camera was set to take photos of anyonewho passed, and the system was also set to automatically play a recording of dogs barking. The tunnel led to a spacious amphitheater,with terraces and chairs cut into the rock. Inside the auditorium, police found a full-sizedcinema screen, projection equipment, and a variety of films. According to a spokesperson, none of the filmswere controversial or banned. Next door, a smaller cave had been turnedinto a restaurant and bar, complete with tables, chairs, an inventory of spirits, and a pressure-cooker. There were even three separate phone linesand professionally installed electricity. The police returned three days later withelectricians to try to determine the source of the power, but all the lines had been cutand there was a note saying “Do not try to find us” left on the floor.

4. SHIPS BELOW SAN FRANCISCO During the California Gold Rush in the 1850s,thousands of ships sailed in and out of San Francisco’s port, loaded with prospectorshoping to strike it big. They anchored in Yerba Buena Cove, which isnow downtown San Francisco, and were often abandoned by the entire crew, who also setout in search for gold. Because why not? These people had a serious case of FOMO!! (FEAR OF MISSING OUT) For some time, some of the ships were usedfor things like offices, stores, a hotel, and even a jail. Sometimes, ships were left in the care ofhired keepers, but they languished for so long, they, too, began to deteriorate. During the late 1800s, the port was filledin to accommodate the rapidly expanding city. During the process, at least forty ships endedup buried beneath the streets of San Francisco, with some estimates ranging as high as 75. Some people sank their ships on purpose, dueto a legal technicality that entitled them to ownership of the property underneath theirwrecked ship, which would be filled in sooner or later and would become a prime piece ofdowntown real estate. People also dumped sand and debris into thewater, which was just a few feet deep in certain areas, to create their own land. The locations of some of the buried shipsare marked, while others remain a very much unnoticed part of the city. Each day, thousands of passengers on the city’sunderground cable car even pass through the hull of a huge buried ship, which was simplyleft in place after workers digging a new rail tunnel discovered it in 1994.

3. THE UNDERGROUND CITY OF DERINKUYU One Turkish man discovered an entire undergroundcity in 1963 when he knocked out a basement wall while carrying out home renovations. The vast network of rooms extends 200 hundredfeet below the ground. This city, Derinkuyu, is just one of manyunderground cities that the Cappadocia region of Turkey is known for. With eleven floors and enough space to shelterapproximately 20,000 people, Derinkuyu is the largest of these cities. So far, just 2,000 square feet of Derinkuyuhas been uncovered, but according to the Cappadocia tourism website, the city may occupy as muchas 7,000 square feet. This and other underground cities in the regionwere used as refuges for members of Cappadocia’s Christian minority during times of religiouspersecution. Many historians believe that the tunnels wereoriginally built by an Indo-European people called the Phrygians between the eight andseventh centuries B.C. Others think that the Persians or AnatolianHittites constructed the tunnels. When the Christians of Cappadocia took occupancyof the tunnels, they expanded the underground network and also built chapels and churches. Derinkuyu operated rather efficiently, andmuch like any above-ground city at the time. The impressive underground enclave boastedstables, wine and oil presses, cellars, storage rooms, and even schools. Oxygen and water were provided to the city’sinhabitants via a 180-foot ventilation shaft. Christians fled to the underground city asrecently as the early twentieth century, when the Ottoman Empire still controlled the region. In 1923, a population exchange occurred betweenGreece and Turkey as part of a plan to rid the respective areas of religious minorities,and most of the Cappadocian Christians were expelled from Turkey. Derinkuyu then sat untouched and unnoticeduntil someone decided to fix their home.

2. BETZ MYSTERY SPHERE In May 1974, a large brushfire swept acrossan 88-acre plot of woodland on Florida’s Fort George Island that had been recentlyacquired by Gerri and Antoine Betz. While reviewing the damage, the couple, alongwith their son Terry, discovered a strange, polished metal orb, measuring slightly lessthan eight inches in diameter. An elongated triangular shape was stampedonto its surface, but the item otherwise contained no identifying marks. The shocked trio wondered if the object wassome sort of NASA or Soviet satellite, and they speculated that maybe it even had somethingto do with the cause of the fire. However, the metal ball bore no evidence ofheat or collision damage and there was no impact crater. Terry took the 22-pound sphere home and forgotabout it until a few weeks later, when it began behaving strangely while he played hisguitar. It started vibrating like a pitching forkas he strummed. Then, the family noticed that their poodlebecame distressed near the ball. They also learned that the ball took on alife of its own when rolled on the floor, seemingly able to stop and change directions,often returning to the person who had rolled it. The family went public about the ball anda media frenzy ensued. Military and government personnel expressedan interest in the object and many even admitted that they were puzzled by its behavior. It was even examined by the Navy, who foundit to be highly magnetic but not to possess any radioactive properties. Gerri Betz would not allow them to cut intothe sphere, however, and ordered it returned to her if it was not determined to be governmentproperty. The ball was given back to Mrs. Betz and itscurrent whereabouts are a mystery.

 1. TERRACOTTA ARMY In 1974, workers digging a well outside theChinese city of Xi’an found a life-sized clay statue of a soldier poised for battle. The Chinese authorities were notified andgovernment archaeologists were dispatched to the site. During the excavation, thousands more of theseclay soldiers, each possessing unique facial features and assembled according to rank,were found. The soldiers varied in height depending onrank, with generals being the tallest. Although the soldiers are mostly gray, theyappear to have once been brightly painted, as evidenced by patches of paint on the statues. Archaeologists determined that the statuesdate back approximately to the late third century B.C. According to a 2007 estimate, there are around8,000 terracotta soldiers in total. The trench-like, subterranean headquartersoccupied by the soldiers also contained clay horses with wooden chariots behind them, swords,arrow tips, and other weapons. These items, along with the thousands of claysoldiers, are all part of an extravagant mausoleum that was created to accompany Qin Shi Huang,the first emperor of China, into the afterlife. Much of the 2,000-year-old tomb remains unexcavated,due primarily to concerns about the preservation of the artifacts, especially after the dryXi’an air caused much of the remaining paint to crack and peel off of the soldiers withinminutes of exposure. Theres also the fear of getting poisoned bymercury!! The government does not want the emperorstomb opened out of respect. However, there is a museum dedicated to theterracotta army and that is open to visitors.
