In the 1990s, the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers were one of the cult bands in the UK, with guitarist Richie Edwards especially famous. He is often described as one of rock's greatest lyricists. Edwards was a bright guy since childhood and always dreamed of playing in a band; this dream soon came true. In 1994, for inappropriate behavior and addiction to alcohol, he was placed in a psychiatric hospital. Less than a year later, life returned to normal. On February 1, 1995, he was supposed to fly to America for the presentation of his band's latest album, but did not show up for the flight. Last time he was seen leaving a hotel in London late at night. Two weeks later, his car was found abandoned on a bridge. He was officially declared dead in 2008. In 1998, British newspapers began rumors that Edwards was alive, citing as evidence the testimony of a barmaid in the Canary Islands who claimed to have seen a customer who looked exactly like him, and that when his name was addressed, he ran away . It was also said that he was spotted in India in the company of hippies. Perhaps Richie Edwards is alive and well, just still hiding from everyone.

Many believe that the secret services were constantly trying to kill Bob Marley. Journalist Alex Constantine claims that the US government first tried to kill Marley in November 1976. At the time, Jamaica was under martial law, which followed outbreaks of pre-election unrest and violent expressions of discontent. Hoping to calm the situation, Prime Minister Michael Manley asked Bob Marley to organize a free concert in early December. A week before the concert, a group of men entered Marley's house and opened fire. Marley and his wife were seriously wounded, but no one saw the raiders. The public understood that the attack was politically motivated and likely motivated by consent to the concert. But according to Konstantin, the attack was actually organized by the CIA, and they weren't going to stop there. Just before the concert, a pair of shoes was delivered for Marley as a gift. After the concert, a copper wire was removed from Bob's leg, which allegedly got there by accident. After some time, doctors discovered cancerous growths in the tissues on this leg. Perhaps it was caused by toxins and it was no coincidence that the piece of wire ended up there. Marley died on May 11, 1981.

The most common rumor is that Lisa Lopez, nicknamed “Left Eye,” had a premonition of her death. Lopez was a member of the group TLC and a popular female rapper. She was a very energetic and prominent star, so the world was greatly shocked by her death in 2002. In the last days of her life, the singer looked worried and told her loved ones about a bad feeling. In early 2002, she decided to make a documentary in Honduras. One day during filming, Lopez was driving along the highway with her friends when suddenly a little boy who fell under the wheels. It was impossible to avoid the incident. The child died in the hospital. What was striking was the fact that the dead boy had the last name Lopez and the same shoe size as Lisa. The accident in which Left Eye died was captured on camera and included in a 2007 documentary.

CONSPIRACY, black magic damn car evil spirit- all these are versions of the death of the cult actor James Dean in 1955. It is believed that Dean received warnings several days before his death. The first warning is the random words of stuntman Bill Hickman about driving too fast. But James just laughed at the warning and rushed off again. Dean later met up with Hickman, photographer Sandy Rothes at a gas station, and a couple of racing buddies who were complaining about the high number of speeding tickets that constituted the second warning. On September 30, 1955, James Dean, along with mechanic Rolf Wütherich, drove a sports Porsche 550 “Spyder” to Salinas, where Dean’s car was being prepared for the upcoming races. On the way, a policeman stopped them and warned them to slow down - that was the last thing. The accident occurred near the city of Holame in California, two cars collided almost head-on. Rolf Wütherich suffered moderate injuries. James Dean died on the way to the hospital without regaining consciousness. There are rumors that there was something mystical about this death. Many claim that Dean's ghost comes to the scene of the accident every year on September 30th.

On February 3, 1959, a tragedy occurred that took away three lives musicians and pilot. They took off from Iowa (Clear Air) and the plane crashed shortly after takeoff. This happened in the midst of a bus tour. The musicians were exhausted due to constant travel, since the distance between the cities was quite large.
Investigators, having learned that the pilot did not have the necessary qualifications to fly the plane independently, declared the cause of the disaster to be pilot error. But the owners of the airline deny this conclusion, citing manipulation of facts and claiming that the reason was different. Eight weeks later, not far from the crash site, a farmer found a gun. This gave rise to another version - the pilot could have been shot. In 2007, Richardson's son requested a retrial to confirm or refute this theory. He was also in doubt because Richardson's body was found a considerable distance from the wreckage. The Big Bopper may have survived the crash, but never received help. But the investigation did not find any evidence of this. The younger Richardson died in 2013 at the age of 54.
In March 2015, the case was reviewed again and some facts about mechanical damage were confirmed, which casts doubt on the pilot's original accusations of negligence.

Amy Winehouse achieved enormous fame for short time thanks to the soulful hits Rehab and Back To Black. Amy was born and died in London, her death occurred at the age of 27, which inspired some mystical overtones. At this time, she was trying to cope with drug and alcohol addiction. In 2008, Amy said she knew she was destined to die young. Amy joined the famous “Club 27” - stars who died at the age of 27, including Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain. Many see the curse and do not believe that “Club 27” is just a coincidence and an explainable confluence of facts. But there is no doubt that since the death of Kurt Cobain in 1994, Amy has become the most shocking representative of this sinister club.

Whitney Houston

Some believe that Whitney Houston's death was connected to a conspiracy or had a mystical connection with the devil. The singer was found dead in February 2012 in a Bevely Hills hotel room on the eve of the 54th Grammy Awards. Whitney Houston's death came as a shock to many, but some were not particularly surprised by the cause. According to the official version, she choked on water (the body was found in the bathroom), losing consciousness after an overdose of cocaine. Shortly before her death, the singer made a statement about her victory over addiction. What was the reason to take up the old one? The detective's notes stated that injuries were found on the singer's body indicating a struggle and resistance. But there was not enough evidence to prove it was a murder and the case was closed. Some believe that the death was timed to coincide with an Illuminati ritual, although it is unclear on what basis this conclusion was made.

Sometimes during archaeological excavations, scientists find such unexpected and mysterious artifacts that not only baffle them, but force them to completely rethink the course of history.

Our review talks about 10 creepy finds that scientists have not yet been able to explain.

1. Swedish skulls on stakes

In 2009, archaeologists discovered an 8,000-year-old Stone Age settlement known as Kanaljorden in southeastern Sweden. At the excavation site, fragments of the skulls of 11 people were found in a mass grave at the bottom of a former lake. Oddly enough, the bases of two of these skulls were pierced with wooden stakes. Nobody knows who these people were and why they were buried in such a strange way. Archaeologists also cannot explain why another woman's temporal bone was found inside one woman's skull. One theory says that it was some kind of ritual. Another theory is that the Swedes killed their enemies in battle and brought the heads home as trophies.

2. New facts about Tutankhamun

Since then, Tutankhamun's tomb was first discovered in 1922, the cause of his premature death Egyptian pharaoh(he died at age 19 in 1323 BC) is the subject of endless debate. One theory is that Tutankhamun was killed in a chariot accident, while other historians suggest that he was attacked by a hippopotamus or kicked by a horse. These theories are based on the fact that a huge injury was discovered on the boy's chest. However, some experts believe that the injury was post-mortem and was caused by thieves in the 20th century, when no one guarded the pharaoh's tomb during World War II. According to recent analyses, scientists have suggested that Tutankhamun died due to serious problems health problems caused by genetic disorders due to inbreeding of his parents.

3. Skeletons of the Sahara - evidence of the first known intercommunal conflict

On the edge of the Sahara Desert in northern Sudan, archaeologists and anthropologists were studying human remains discovered at the Jebel Sahaba cemetery east of the Nile River. The skeletons, which are 13,000 years old, are the oldest ever found in official cemeteries. But more importantly, they may be the victims of the world's first known communal conflict, which has been playing out for months or even years. Most of the victims died from wounds inflicted by flint-tipped arrows. Scientists believe that these people were the ancestors of modern African-Americans, but until now the identity of the attackers on this tribe or community has not been established. It is possible that their enemies were of a completely different race or ethnic group.

4. The mysterious poisoning of an Italian commander

The Renaissance military leader and ruler of Verona, Can Grande della Scala, died in 1329 due to stomach disease. But when his mummy was autopsied in 2015, it turned out that the ruler had in fact been poisoned by foxglove poison (which causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in small quantities and cardiac arrest in an overdose). In July 1329, 38-year-old Can Grande arrived in the city of Treviso, which he had recently conquered. A few days later he developed a fever, vomiting and diarrhea. The symptoms progressed rapidly and Can Grande died four days later. At the time, it was believed that he died from drinking contaminated water. But during a modern autopsy, researchers found foxglove pollen in the rectum, liver and stool samples of the ruler of Verona.

5. Fierce Warriors of Mesa Verde

In the late 13th century, the population of Mesa Verde (central Colorado) dropped from 40,000 to zero in just three decades. A 2014 study by Washington State University may shed some light on the unusual violence that contributed to the culture's disappearance. Archaeologist Tim Kohler found that nearly 90 percent of all skeletons in the area belonged to people who died between 1140 and 1180 and had head or hand injuries. This means that many of them died violent deaths. Kohler believes that this happened as a result of the Mesa Verde-Rio Grande War.

6. Mayan victims

In the old Mayan city of Uxul (Campeche, Mexico), archaeologists from the University of Bonn were excavating, unexpectedly making a gruesome discovery in a man-made cave that was once a reservoir. They discovered 24 human skeletons, each of which had been decapitated and dismembered. Skulls were scattered chaotically throughout the cave. The violent death was obvious, especially since many of the skulls bore traces of axes, i.e. the heads were cut off. It remains a mystery who these people were and why they were killed in this way. Some of them had jade dental inserts, indicating high social status.

7. The Fleshed Woman from Devil's Valley

In the Philippines, 9,000 years ago, there was a bizarre funeral ritual. All the flesh was removed from the corpse of an adult woman and taken out internal organs, the bones were crushed, burned, after which they were placed in a small box, which was buried in a cave in the Devil's Valley. This was the first known cremation in Southeast Asia, and it is especially notable for its complex ritual. Large bones of the arms, legs and skull were smashed with a hammer. Where the woman’s flesh went is unknown.

8. Mass grave of sacrificial children with lamas

Archaeologists once believed that the people of the Chimu civilization of northern Peru performed their ritual sacrifices only in the capital of Chan Chan, which was conquered by the Incas in 1470. However, outside former capital in 2011, a 600-year-old mass grave was found containing the skeletons of 42 children and 76 llamas. Although the Chan Chan people built a sophisticated irrigation system that helped their city prosper, the harsh desert region received only about 0.25 cm of rainfall per year. Therefore, water has always been a valuable resource for this community. In the summer of 2014, archaeologists discovered more victims in the Chimu habitat. All of these deaths are believed to have occurred as part of a religious ritual.

9. Remains of Kasta Hill

In the Greek northern province of Macedonia, during excavations of the Kasta Hill, archaeologists discovered another secret. An approximately 60-year-old woman whose remains were found in the largest grave ever excavated in northern Greece has been identified as Olympias. Alexander the Great's mother was executed by Cassander, one of the Diadochi generals who took control of Alexander's empire after his death. To ensure his place on the throne, Cassander destroyed all of Alexander's immediate family, including his mother Olympias, wife Roxana, and young son Alexander.

10. Kennewick Man

Kennewick Man is a prehistoric skeleton dating back 9,300 years. This was the subject of a lawsuit by eight prominent anthropologists and archaeologists against Native American tribes and the US government, who wanted to prevent research remains and bury them. It all started in the summer of 1996, when a couple of teenagers accidentally found a skull on the banks of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington. Soon an almost complete skeleton was found. The stumbling block for scientists was that Kennewick Man looked completely different from the American Indians. In 2004, a federal appeals court ruled that Kennewick Man was too old to be related to existing Native Americans. As a result, scientists were able to study the remains. They discovered that the Kennewick man was about 40 years old when he died. His height was 175 centimeters and his weight was about 75 kilograms. He was incredibly strong, but had many injuries, the origin of which remains a mystery.
