Description

How were the hunter-gatherers of Gobekli Tepe able to build a series of stunning stone monuments six thousand years before Stonehenge

Was the so-called 'Wow!' Signal a radio transmission from deep space, or the ambient resonating frequency of a passing comet

What happened mid-Atlantic to the passengers and crew of the Mary Celeste, leaving the abandoned ship to sail on by itself

Wonderful and weird, here are twenty incredible mysteries that continue to enthral and perplex. Each unexplained mystery, whether ancient or modern, presents the reader with its own unique challenge.
