The missing Sodder children always distressed me.

I thought The Ark of the Covenant was in a crate in a warehouse somewhere.

I was always intrigued by the disappearance of the amber room during WWII.

It is harder to find a crashed plane underwater then a shipwreck like Titanic because the plane doesn't leave a debris field. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Parts of the ocean in the south such as west of Australia are much deeper then where Titanic sank

It’s mind-boggling that the fate of the Roanoke colony is still up in the air. Will we ever know what befell it?

[jsutton]

Octavian would probably not have given Cleopatra the luxury of being mummified, and buried in a tomb after defeating her and Marc Antony., it's more plausable Cleopatra was cremated which was the Roman tradition, and the final humilation Octavian could give to Cleopatra.

I read an article a long time ago that said the Voynich manuscript was possibly written in multiple languages, not just one which was why no one could decipher it before as they were looking for one language.

[kristinanolan]

I would like to know what truly happened a the Dyatlov pass in the Ural mountains. It's such a strange and unsettlig event. That is definitely one that creeps me out and interests me the most.

[boozmiller]

Are they ever going to figure out who let the dogs out? Who? Who?Who?Who?

[rebeccahudson]

The Sodder kids were kidnapped and the fire was a cover up. All the locals know it, but nothing has ever been done.

Im dying to know what happened to the Sodder children

[darexxis]

wait i thought they already knew what happend to Amelia Earharts and Fred Noonan? that something to do with a island and coconutcrabs?

[thirddegree]

Going into this hoping that Jack the Ripper ISN'T on here.
I know it's one of the most sought after mysteries, but the mystery is the whole appeal. It's like magic. Once you know how it works, the interest is gone.
It's one of those "wanting is better than having" sort of deals.

Celopatra should be left to rest! Although it would be amazing, I think part of what fascinates us the most is the not knowing….. I believe it’s more than likely her tomb was raided before and is lost to humanity forever.

[CandiceVidito]

Hopefully all of these mysteries will be solved soon

[davinp]

What about the disappearance of flight MH370?

[jonah.donohue]

2) The bodies of the Titanic
3) The lost city of Atlantis
4) Area 51
5) Cloning

[isaacjohnson]

Not as famous as the titanic but it’s still a mystery to me on what happened to the USS Cyclops
