The Moai “heads” on Easter Island have bodies. Because some of the statues are set deep into the ground, and because the heads are disproportionately large, many people tend to think of them as just big heads. But the bodies are there — in many cases, underground. What’s even more interesting — there are petroglyphs (rock markings) that have been preserved below the soil level, where they have been protected from erosion.

Tunguska event - settlers in an isolated area of Russia observed a column of bluish light, moving across the sky. About 10 minutes later, there was a flash and a sound similar to artillery fire. The sounds were accompanied by a shock wave that knocked people off their feet and broke windows hundreds of kilometres away. Trees were flattened for miles but no crater or impact center was found. The explosion registered on seismic stations across Eurasia. Cosmos, Carl Sagan, Hiroshima, Natural Phenomena, Natural Disasters, Siberian Forest, Impact Event, Photo Images

On May 2007, a lake in Patagonia, Chile, literally disappeared, leaving behind a 30 meter deep pit, icebergs and dry soil. Something happened during a 2 month span that caused the lake to vanish, Geologists were puzzled as to why a lake of that size would simply cease to exist. Perhaps, they suggested, an earthquake drained the lake, yet there were no reports of any quakes in that particular area during spring.

Miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal spheres. Origin unknown, these spheres measure approximately an inch or so in diameter, and some are etched with three parallel grooves running around the equator. Two types of spheres have been found: one is composed of a solid bluish metal with flecks of white; the other is hollowed out and filled with a spongy white substance. The kicker is that the rock in which they where found is Precambrian – and dated to 2.8 billion years old Ancient Astronaut, Ancient Wisdom, Ancient Egypt, Out Of Place Artifacts
