Mysteries can be defined as occurrences and events that happen around us to which we have no true answer. Sometimes those are STRANGE OCCURENCES IN SPACE, MISTERIOUS UNDERWATER RUINS or unexplained occurrences in nature.
They encompass the history of mankind, as they say-since the beginning of time. Of course, the biggest mystery is connected to the beginning and creation of man. How did the first analogue computer functioned, made over 2000 years ago? Who was Robin Hood and how many people used his name? Rarely stories have the power to momentarily get our attention in way mysteries always do. Codes, riddles and mysterious art interest us due to their intrigues: Why is the message coded? What great secrets hide behind it?
