5 mysterious places on Earth with frightening and intriguing stories

There is nothing more intriguing and exciting than forbidden places. The fact that you cannot get anywhere makes you want to get there even more. If you agree with us in these statements, then get ready for a virtual but incredibly curious journey through the most mysterious and forbidden places in the world, where it is almost impossible to get.

Svalbard World Seed Store, Norway

On the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago, inside the mountain, a vault is hidden, which is also called the "Doomsday Temple". Even with the worst disaster scenario for humanity, the entire diversity of food crops on the planet will be preserved here, which will restore the plant kingdom.

Plutonium in Hierapolis, Turkey

Once there was a place of worship of the Roman god of death Pluto. The ancient historian Strabo said that during a visit to this place he saw that "any animal that got inside met instant death." After the Gates of Pluto were again discovered by archaeologists in 1965, it turned out that eerie evidence from the past is far from a myth. Scientists measured the concentration of CO2 and found that the sun scatters gas during the day, but at night, when the temperature drops, CO2 becomes heavier than air. It sinks to the bottom and forms a deadly "lake" that can kill animals and people in a few minutes.

Lascaux Caves

Lascaux Caves is a complex of caves near the village of Montignac. The ceilings and walls of these caves are covered with murals, representing mainly large animals. The appearance of the drawings dates back to about 18-15 millennia BC. The caves were discovered by 18-year-old Marcel Ravidat in 1940. Anthropologists believe that these paintings can symbolize the success of the past hunt or a mystical ritual that should improve the upcoming hunt. The discovery of caves during the Second World War changed the microclimate in them. The circulation of air and the penetration of light caused irreparable damage, which led to their closure in 1963.

Niihau Island, Hawaii

Niihau is an island that is often called forbidden. In 1864, it was bought by Elizabeth Sinclair and has since been considered private property. It got its name in 1952, when during the polio epidemic in Hawaii it was forbidden to leave the island and enter it in order to avoid illness. Fortunately, thanks to these rules, then no one got sick. Today, the island's population is only 170 people and it remains one of the most desirable places to visit in the world, but only a few manage to get permission to visit.

Bohemian Grove, USA

This is the annual "camp" located on Bohemian Avenue in Monte Rio, California. Every year about 2,500 men, representatives of the world elite, take part in this event. The first such congress was held in 1872. Only the most important figures of the world are invited here - high-ranking politicians, Nobel Prize winners, military men, officials, and also presidents of elite universities such as Harvard and Yale. It is said that during the event, members of the Bohemian Club play different performances and perform rituals that are part of the tradition. The club's motto is: "Spiders weaving a web do not come here." This means that external problems are not discussed in the Bohemian Grove. To this day, this is a purely masculine event at which women can only be as attendants.
