If you could solve one of history’s “usolved mysteries”
which would you choose?
I think I’d like to be the one to find out what weas really behind the Nazca figures. Way to large for any use terrestrial. But no way for them to be seen from the air. At least that we know of.
What would be yours?
Mods…
Forgive me for misclicking…please…I grovel…please move this to mspisms where it belongs.
Bad Reeder…Bad!
We still don’t know how the pyramids were built. That would be interesting to find out.
I would wanna find out how they get the caramel into a CARAMILK bar, or how did the Egyptians build the pyramids?
–The Little Princes in the Tower of London, circa 1480 A.D., would be my first choice.
–What really happened to Amelia Earhart
–What really happened to Jimmy Hoffa
–Who was Jack the Ripper (I know, I know…insert JDT joke here)
(I would have said the “Anna Anderson mystery”, but I believe that one has been put to bed.)
How the pyrimads were built. Even though I have my own theories, it would be cool to actually see it done.
What the sphinx looked like the day it was finished.
Actually, you can put me down for any Egyptian mystery. (lost tombs, erecting obelisks[sub]I’m sure that’s spelt wrong, but I’m tired[/sub], etc…)
How Stonehenge was erected.
Who the devil carved that creepy crystal skull and why! (Have you seen that thing? ::shiver:
Where did the legend of Atlantis spring from. Really. Was it Plato? Was it an older story? Was in really the Minonian civilization?
What really good drugs was Nostradomus taking?
How and why they built the huge stone statues on Easter Island.
Who built Stonehenge and why.
What OJ said to Rosie Grier.
If fire was first made by a man or a woman.
The Mayan culture, toys with wheels but no work wheels? Pyramids and precise stellar calendars?
Jesus, from year three to thirty, then the days after Golgatha (sp?)
Babylon.
Ancient Greece.
Where my socks go when they are stolen from the dryer?
After some thought, I would like to change my answer.
Other folks are covering Stonehenge and the pyrimads and while I wouls really like the other questions resolved sometime in my lifetime, what I really want to know is
What happened to the Amber Room. I would, of course, also like to find the rest of it.
Oak Island. What exactly was so valuable as to warrant that much effort to protect it, and how did they ever expect to get it out? And who were “they”, anyway? So far the buried treasure has resisted all efforts to retrieve it.
When is Anthracite’s Horror at Cecil Cove, Part Three going to be ready?
And will I get a part?
I just watched a NOVA on that very subject two weeks ago. They covered how they (they’re called mo-i, that’s phonetic) were built and how they were moved. Although, I don’t recall them saying why.
I’m with UncleBill on the socks thing.
How giant squids behave in the wild, and whether or not one can be tamed enough to let me ride around on its back.
Whether or not there is, or ever has been, a Loch Ness Monster. Ditto Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Jersey Pine Devil, alien abductions. I’d be happy solving any of those.
The details of what became of Anastasia.
Where any and all Nazi gold is buried.
The details of what became of Amelia Earhardt.
If the cross-cultural Flood myths have any basis in an actual event.
Lots of other stuff, but those spring to mind.
I’m going for the Beall Treasure.
Anna Anderson?
A (fairly) local one: The Lost Colony
or the Tunguska Blast
Soon. I worked on it today, as a matter of fact, killing off another character. I posted before that Part 3 is about twice as long as Part 2. It could be longer. It will have (does have, actually) some action, death, more intrigue, some revelations, and wild lesbian sex.[sup]1[/sup]
Sorry, but probably not. This late in the game I am reluctant to introduce new characters. Or, that is, new characters other than the ones I already planned to.
[sub]1) OK, maybe not.[/sub]
Well, those of you who know me well know that I am firmly convinced that Richard III was a hero, rather than a villian.
So…am I right? Am I wrong? (I don’t THINK so)
My head hurts.
Una, the teeming millions demand lesbian sex.
Or at least my character deserves it. 
I would like to know what happened at Roanoke.
