The Mysterious Places In the Earth
1. FORT KNOX, USA
Fort Knox, United States Of America - The Heaviest Security In The World.
Fort Knox is probably the most protected place in the world. This is the Bullion Depository of the United States, where literal tons of precious metals are stored in the largest and most secure vault in the world. No one knows for sure the protections that encircle the vault. Some believe there are even land mines in place to keep intruders and would-be thieves out.
But what exactly is stored at Fort Knox?
Well, for starters, it is not just precious metals. Although over 2% of the world's mined metals are stored here, there is a lot more that remains hidden from the rest of the world. This includes one of the copies of Magna Carta and previously included the royal crown of Hungary during the Cold War.
Despite speculation about what is and is not in Fort Knox and the Bullion Repository or thoughts about what is protecting that treasure, this place is still the most guarded vault in the world. No one knows for sure exactly what is inside, and no one can get in to find out.
2. COCA COLA VAULT, USA
What do you think the most carefully-guarded secret in the world is?
If you guessed the secret to the Coca Cola recipe, then you are correct. The recipe for Coca Cola is stored in a special vault in Atlanta, Georgia.
Visitors to the Coca Cola vault can take a tour of a museum outside of the vault and even see the door of the vault. But, absolutely NO ONE is allowed inside the vault.
The secret to the recipe for Coca Cola has been kept for over 125 years, and it will likely continue to be kept. With the intense security that surrounds the vault and the design of the vault itself, there is very little likelihood that anyone will get into the vault.
Your money in the bank vault is probably less secure than the Coca Cola vault. How does that make you feel about the security of your bank?
Coca Cola's recipe is the secret to their success as a company, so they obviously do not want anyone to know the recipe.
That is why they have the vault and the secrecy. At least they do offer visitors the opportunity to see the vault and tour the museum. But absolutely no one will see the inside of the vault.
3. AREA 51,USA
Area 51, United States Of America - Oh, Wouldn't You Like To Know..?
Everyone has heard of the secret U.S. military base known as Area 51, but no one knows for sure what is there. And the U.S. military wants to keep it that way. There are definitely plenty of rumors, though, about just what goes on here, some of which include aliens and UFOs. But one thing is for sure, whatever goes on at Area 51, you will never be allowed to visit.
This secret military installation northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada has no official fence or anything to keep people out. However, there are a number of signs surrounding the perimeter. And those signs authorize deadly force for anyone caught snooping around. It is rumored that there are sensors surrounding the base that can differentiate between animals and people, so that animals may cross freely into the space that people are strictly prohibited from visiting. Even the air space over the installation is restricted, with the only aircraft allowed to fly over being those that left the base.
The allure of Area 51 is the fact that no one knows for sure what goes on in the middle of the desert. The theories that surround the military installation make for some pretty wild tales, but the truth is often crazier than the theory.
4. SNAKE ISLAND, BRAZIL
Snake Island, Brazil - Even If You Could Visit, You'd Be Running Away As Quick As Possible..
Do you wondered..?
Exactly...!
Misterious of the Earth...!
Located about 90 miles off the Sao Paulo, Brazil coast, Snake Island has the highest concentration of venomous snakes in the world. The island is home to the Golden Lancehead Viper, and about 2,000 to 4,000 of these highly venomous snakes live here. That means that there is an estimated one to five snakes every 10 square feet.
Unfortunately, while this is one of the most venomous snakes in the world, it is also one of the most endangered, so there is no going onto the island to clear them out to make way for people. But all it would take is one bite from just one of these snakes to kill a human in about an hour. And that is why Snake Island is forbidden for people to visit.
Now, obviously, people have visited the island, but they are mostly scientists and researchers who are trained in how to deal with the snakes. And why would you want to go to an island filled with snakes anyway? Even if you like snakes, there are just so many on this island that it will make your skin crawl because the ground is crawling with super venomous killer snakes.
Snake Island may sound like a cool place for a villain to have their lair, but even the most evil villain would be pretty crazy to try and visit, much less stay, on this island.
5. NORTH SENTINEL ISLAND, INDIA
North Sentinel Island has been inhabited for about 60,000 years by a tribe of people that have had virtually no contact with the rest of the world in that period of time. Because of the fact that this tribe has had so little contact with other people, the Indian government has decreed that no one may visit the island for fear of a couple of things.
First of all,
These people have no immunity to diseases from off the island. In the 1800’s, some researchers kidnapped people from North Sentinel Island to study them. And the people promptly died of disease.
The second reason is because the Indian government wants to keep this tribe untouched. There is so little known about the people of North Sentinel Island because it is nearly impossible to study them.
The fact that they have survived 60,000 years without being disturbed by the outside world is remarkable. And the government wants to keep them undisturbed by the outside world.
There are very few people in the world that have no contact with the outside world. Yet, the people of North Sentinel Island are one such group. Therefore, it is not permissible for anyone to visit the island for fear of destroying this ancient civilization.
6. HEARD ISLAND, AUSTRALIA
Heard Island is in the middle of the ocean, between Australia and Antarctica. So even if you were allowed to visit the island, it would be difficult to get there. But just why does the Australian government make it illegal for people to go to the island?
Heard Island is completely untouched by humans. And the government wants to keep it that way. Only by very remote methods does anyone know anything about the island. It is known that the animals that live on and around the island are unique to that area.
There are two active volcanoes on the island, the tallest mountain in Australia, and a number of glaciers.
In other words, Heard Island is a beautiful pristine wilderness that has not had any contact with humans. In order to keep the island in this pristine setting, the government of Australia has made it illegal to visit the island. As stated, there have been remote expeditions to learn about the island, but people are not permitted to visit the island for any reason.
Imagine an island so untouched by humanity, meaning that the animals who call it home have never been seen by anyone. That would be Heard Island, the secret Australian island that about which the government says "Keep Away".
7. VATICAN LIBRARY SECRET ARCHIVES, VATICAN CITY.
The Vatican Library Secret Archives is so secret that no one knows for sure exactly what is in them. The secret archive has over 50 miles of shelving housing over 35,000 volumes of cataloged documents, some dating about 1,200 years. And that is just what is known about the secret archive.
Anything added to the secret archive is not removed for at least 75 years. That means that documents available in the rest of the Vatican Library is dated back at least 75 years. So, who knows what is in the secret archive from the last 75 years?
Even though documents are routinely removed after 75 years, there are things in the Vatican Library Secret Archives that will never again see the light of day. Some speculation about things in the archive include letters from Mary Queen of Scots, excommunication bulls related to Martin Luther, and other priceless historical artifacts from the long history of the Catholic Church.
And, of course, some of the documents in the Vatican Library Secret Archives have the power to make and destroy that very same history. Because of the potential for ruining the history of the Catholic Church, there is very little possibility that anyone will ever see exactly what is in the secret archive..
Thank you.......
