Unsolved Mysteries and Legends of the world

[habijabi]

Amar kotha :

When I was a kid, there was a book in our house probably named "The unsolved mysteries of the world". It was written in English and had lots of pictures in it. My father bought that book while he was abroad in a training. Back then, I was too little to understand the language but it fascinated me a lot. When I grew old enough to understand the language, I never found the book. Later, I got a book of Ali Imam. I forgot the name of this book too. Probably "akhono rohossho" or something.

In this thread I will try to post them on my own interest from time to time by searching in the net and share them with others. If they fascinate you as it did me, keep on reading

to be continued....

1. Moai of Easter Island

The Island and the Moais:
It is one of the most isolated islands in the world but 1200 years ago a double-hulled canoe filled with seafarers from a distant culture landed upon its shores. Over the centuries that followed a remarkable society developed in isolation on the island. For reasons still unknown they began carving giant statues out of volcanic rock. These monuments, known, as "moai" are some of the most incredible ancient relics ever discovered.

The people:
The people of Easter Island called themselves the Rapa Nui. Where did they come from and why did they disappear? Darwin pointed out how groups of animals living in remote places eventually take on unique characteristics and eventually turn them into distinct species. Such is the case with the people of Easter Island. As unique as a culture as they had become, the Rapa Nui left clues as to their origins in their language, art, and beliefs. Contemporary archeologists think it's an open and shut case. It is unclear why the Easter Islanders turned to statue construction on such a massive scale.

The construction:
Being master craftsmen beyond imagination, the inhabitants of the island built those statues. But, once the statues were reasonably complete, they then had to be transported across the island to the platforms prepared for them. This involved a trek of 14 miles in some cases. How were these massive Moai moved to the sites? Barring any extraterrestrial influence it seems likely that they were rolled along the ancient roads that crisscrossed the island on logs lubricated with the oils from palm trees.

Mystery remains a mystery:
Wild speculation about UFO's, Atlantis, and vanished advanced ancient races has always been a part of the Easter Island debate. Science has made great strides in understanding who made the giant statues. Much have been learnt about the enigma of Easter Island and the rest are put for some of more bizarre theories. However, questions and controversies still remain.
