According to experts, most mysterious sites around the world were created by ancient civilizations, with the help of advanced knowledge and technology, possibly more advanced than our current one.
Some do not believe that there was any so much advanced ancient civilization on earth and ancient astronauts who came down from heaven handed all of the superb knowledge down to us. Other scientists do not believe the above stated ideas, and they try to explain ancient enigmas on the ground of religion and ritual.
According to Discovery Channel there are 3 places, which are the Most Enigmatic Places in the World. But aside from that there are so many other places around the world that capture our imagination because they seem to be so mysterious.
Stonehenge
Stonehenge is one of the most popular mysterious places in the world.
It’s a megalithic monument on the Salisbury Plain in Southern England. It’s composed of 30 upright stones, which are called sarsens, each stone is ten feet tall with more 45 tons weight; they are aligned in a circle with 30 lintels (each lintel weight is 6 tons) perched horizontally atop the sarsens in a continious circle. Inside the outer circle there another circle composed of similar stones and constructed in same fashion.
There are so many great monuments around the world now question is that what is so special about Stonehenge? Who built this? Is it was an astronomical observatory, a religious site or something supernatural? There are no exact answers for these questions.

At 600 miles west of Ecuador there are arid islands in Pacific Ocean, which are called Galapagos Islands. These islands are famous for large tortoises weighing hundreds of pounds. But so many people don’t know that other fascinating creatures also live in an undersea realm offshore.
In 1924 William Beebe had written a book about Galapagos “ World’s End” in that he described the contrast between islands and their underwater generosity. He Wrote that host of sally-lightfoots were the most brilliant spots of color above the water in the islands, putting to shame the dull, drab hues of the terrestrial organisms and hinting at the glories of colorful animal life beneath the surface of the sea.
In Galapagos waters four currents converge:
- The Peru or Humboldt to from the south.
- The Equatorial from the West.
- The North Equatorial
- And the fourth is the Panama
The fish and other sea species from different oceans and habitat migrate to these currents and quickly makes themselves at home along the rocky shores, on a sandy sea bottom and in the mangrove forests of the Galapagos.
The most playful creature on the Galapagos Islands is the sea lions. Most of time they are slicing through the water with dazzling speed and sometimes it seems as they are dancing underwater, twisting, turning, stretching and arching their sleek bodies amid clouds of plankton.
