There are many unsolved mysteries in life, even though science, technology and research have experienced a very long way. Let's enjoy the following unsolved mysteries.
The Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角区) Located in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, the Bermuda Triangle is a loosely defined(宽松定义的) area.

With explanations from gas bubbles(气泡) to aliens, no one is sure what is behind the strange things.
The Loch Ness Monster(尼斯湖水怪) For ages, people have been hearing about the Loch Ness Monster. Over the years photos and videos of actual footprints have been checked and watched over and over again to find out if it could be a sea snake or a dinosaur. Even today, it may still exist and swim under the water.
Nazca Geoglyphs(纳斯卡地画) Nazca Geoglyphs are located in southern Peru and cover about 50 square kilometers.

One night a hotel caught fire, and the people who were staying in it ran out in their nightclothes. Two men stood outside and looked at the fire. “Before I came out,” said one, “I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire, the fire burns it. So I took all the bills that I could find. No one will be poorer because I took them.” “You don't know my work,” said the other. “What is your work?” “I'm a policeman.” “Oh!” cried the first man. He thought quickly and said, “And do you know my work?” “No,” said the policeman. “I'm a writer. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”
