![]() ![]() While conspiracy theorists and UFO believers swear Area 51 is hiding alien lifeforms from the 1947 Roswell incident, there is no proof to back this up. ![]() There are around 7,700 people living on the island these days, which has become a major tourist attraction as people try and work out what the statues mean. Nobody really knows what the statues represent, but we do understand that the thriving population of Easter Island died out in the late 1800s due to the introduction of the Polynesian rat and European disease. Many think they have something to do with the inhabitant’s spiritual beliefs or were built to protect the island, as the majority face the ocean. These huge statues number around 1,000 and are on average 13 feet tall and 13 tonnes heavy. ![]() While these stone monoliths, known as Moai, have stood for over 500 years, nobody is quite sure why they were built. This unexplained mystery seems destined to stay that way. One of the more likely scenarios is an insurance scam, but there are theories that say the crew was murdered by pirates, killed by sharks, eaten by a Kraken, or aliens abducted the crew. Nobody knows what happened to the crew but there have been many unbelievable stories created to understand their disappearance. All the captain’s and crew’s possessions were still on the ship while the alcohol supply hadn’t been touched. The ship was still in relatively good condition but everyone was missing. The ship was making the journey from New York to Genoa when it was found adrift in the Atlantic Ocean. This famous mystery surrounds the disappearance of the crew of the Mary Celeste. Not everyone believes these conspiracies though, with many scholars and scientists attributing the loss of life to bad weather (the Triangle is located in a notorious area of the sea besieged by tropical storms) and human error. Some claim it’s aliens abducting people while others say the lost city of Atlantis is located there and when ships and planes come into the vicinity, they are taken underwater by the city’s inhabitants. Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, several ships and planes have gone missing in the area over the years never to be seen again. The Bermuda Triangle is an area of open water in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a bunch of strange things has happened. There’s also been a lot of talk about Tintagel Castle in England’s south being the former home of Arthur, but like everything else concerning the much loved King, nobody is really quite sure what’s fact and what’s fiction. He was said to have fought battles against the Saxons, although there is still a lot of conjecture about these stories. There is documentation of a King Arthur existing, albeit without any magic being involved. But did you know there are many who think he was an actual king sometime around the 5th or 6th century in Great Britain? He’s the fella who pulled the sword Excalibur out of the stone and went on adventures with his mate Merlin the Magician. You’ve no doubt heard of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. ![]()
