Ley lines Ensuing investigations turned up claims that the colonists had been slaughtered by the Powhatan tribe, but there is no archaeological evidence of this, and a recent re-examination of the primary sources indicates that any massacre that occurred was not of this particular group of colonists, but rather a group of colonists who had arrived earlier. More enduring theories involve integration between the colonists and the Croatoans or other local tribes, but so far, no DNA evidence has positively identified any descendants of the colony. Scientists still can’t explain these enigmatic mysteries. 40 | The case of Bobby Dunbar The child raised as Bobby Dunbar standing in front of a car. Nine experienced hikers died on the slopes of the Ural Mountains in Russia, in 1959. Their bodies were found under mysterious circumstances, the hikers’ tents were torn from the inside, their bones were broken, shattered and crushed. They aged rapidly and tongues were removed. No other footprints or animal prints other than their own barefooted footprints were found in the snow, trailing off into the woods. Two of their corpses were found only in their undergarments. A massive investigation was conducted but the investigators still have no idea what happened to them. Read More 10 | Severed feet keep washing up on British Columbia shores Image Credit: Pixabay

As gruesome as the discovery was, the investigators found even darker pieces of evidence in the case. The cause of death was suffocation and the body was placed in the elm when it was still warm.

Taylor, Loyd Auerbach, Douglas Preston, Steve Elkins While no serious scholar believes that this story is literally true, some have speculated that the legend could have been inspired, in part, by real events that happened in Greek history. One possibility is that the Minoan civilization (as it's now called), which flourished on the island of Crete until about 1400 B.C., could have inspired the story of Atlantis. Although Crete is in the Mediterranean, and not the Atlantic, Minoan settlements suffered considerable damage during the eruption of Thera, a volcano in Greece.

In photographic and video recordings around the world, a strange solar entity – lines of light dashing across the sky – would sometimes occur, with no clear reason why.

Jason Colavito criticized the show, calling it "recycled material from Prometheus Entertainment’s other nonsense fake science shows" where the host "goes hunting for lost continents and sunken civilizations".

Professor Sarah Parcak criticized the show's presentation of archaeology. She labeled it as "horribly racist"; and wrote "as it turns out, 'A great archaeological mystery' is a code phrase for 'We are too lazy to read or even Google and honestly, racism is far easier than admitting non white people were/are brilliant innovators.'" [15] This illustration, "Captain William Kidd in New York Harbour, 1696," by Jean Leone Gerome Ferris, shows the infamous Scottish privateer charming women onboard his ship, the Adventure Galley. (Image credit: PhotoQuest/Getty) Coast Guard records also proved that many disappearances were down to human error, boat failure and other natural sea-based problems.

Stonehenge During his trial, Kidd wrote a letter claiming he pilfered around 100,000 British pounds and buried it somewhere, offering to trade the location for his life, according to Reuters. However, during the trial it was estimated that the takings from all his time aboard the Adventure Galley likely totaled closer to 400,000 pounds. To his dying breath, Kidd argued he was a legitimate privateer who had only ever plundered targets approved by the crown. But he was hung and his body covered with pitch and squeezed in an iron cage displayed over the Thames.
