From UFOs and serial killers to ancient sites, mysterious creatures and even ghosts – these are the Strange & Scary Mysteries of the month for March 2018 5. Ancient Mexican City DiscoveredJust half an hour away from Mexico City, the small Western town of Morelia had been sitting on a large secret for centuries. The old city of Purepecha was once a flourishing civilization during the 16th century. Less well known than their counterpart, the Aztecs, the Purépecha were a once thriving people before the Europeans ravaged the country. Now, scientists reveal they finally finished mapping out the old city, uncovering a massive ancient complex that rival even the biggest cities we have today. 4. Toronto Serial KillerBruce McArthur was considered the most unlikely suspect. For those he encountered, he looked like someone who was harmless, in fact, he even worked as a mall Santa – adding to his innocent-looking persona. But behind that kind exterior was a cold-blooded serial killer that hunted men in Toronto’s gay community. In 2010, Skandaraj Navaratnam was reported missing. He was last seen on September 6th leaving a gay bar with an unknown gentleman. Toronto police received a tip that Navaratnam had been murdered by someone with links to an online cannibalism ring and authorities found a potential suspect in James Alex Brunton. The Peterborough man was a member of the online cannibalism ring and was later charged for child pornography but was never proven to be Navaratnam’s murderer. 3. UFO Evidence in Oregon It was October 25, 2017 when an unidentified aircraft soared through the skies of the Pacific Northwest above Portland, Oregon. It was the Oakland Center Sector 31 that first detected the mysterious craft around 4:30 PM. Then After several minutes, the unknown craft caused huge concern as it veered off into a crowded stream of commercial airliners before disappearing from radar completly. Shortly afterwards, commercial airliner pilots reported visual contact. Some said it was too far from sight for them to provide an accurate description but at least one pilot said it was a white aircraft with the build of a Lear Jet. He couldn’t make out any marking on craft but added it was definitely big and moving very fast. 2. Death Penalty for Donald Smith Dubbed as the “Walmart Monster,” it took the jury just 12 minutes to unanimously recommend the death penalty for 61-year old child predator, Donald Smith. Smith was inside a Walmart store when he approached Rayne Perrywinkle and her two daughters. Rayne had mentioned the girls hadn’t eaten in a while and Smith offered to use his hundred and fifty dollar gift card for McDonalds to treat them. He also promised to buy clothes for the girls and Rayne trusted him enough, thinking he was merely a good Samaritan. However, while near the Walmart entrance where the McDonald’s was located, surveillance showed Smith luring 8-year old Cherish Perrywinkle outside of the store and into his van. It would take Rayne 20 minutes before she realized her daughter was missing and something was wrong. 1. 10,000-year-old AliensPaleocontact or more popularly known as the ancient astronaut hypothesis proposes that intelligent beings from outer space may have visited Earth during ancient times. While many dispute this theory, others believe proof of such events are still around today. In Charama, India, one possible piece of evidence was found inside a cave.

Top 5 Reasons proving Ancient Civilizations Were Visited by Advanced Beings We’re taught that man was once primitive and over time evolved into the what we are today. But what if that’s not the whole truth? What if ancient man possessed sophisticated technology from advanced beings that we can’t comprehend, even today? The following ancient objects, text and structures will make you question the history books. These are the top 5 reasons proving ancient civilizations were visited by advanced beings.5. The Aluminum Wedge of Aiud In 1974, workers in Aiud, Romania were digging a trench along the Mures River when they discovered a set of Mastodon bones buried under 35 feet of soil. Mastodons are prehistoric creatures that are related to the elephant. They're bigger, stronger and lived in prehistoric times and while it was a great find, there was something else that was much more exciting. Right next to the bones was a curious artifact. An aluminum-shaped wedge, that looked like it came from a hammer. But why was it buried under 35 feet of soil and next to the bones? 4. Nazca Lines Hailed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and known throughout the world, The Nazca Lines of Peru are both a mysterious and marvelous site. Because of Nazca's unique topography and climate, these lines have been preserved throughout the centuries and what they showcase still perplexes many people today. First discovered by Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe in 1927, he thought that the shallow etched white lines in the Nazca valley were simply trail markers. It wasn't until the 1930's when civilian and military aircrafts flew around the area and discovered the huge pieces of line work on the region connected to form unique figures and shapes.3. Aliens and the Third Reich When it comes to aliens, most people don't immediately associate the Nazis with them. But it seems, the Third Reich might have known something that the rest of the world didn't.If indeed advanced beings visited us in the distant past, is it possible they could have visited even during the 20th century? The rise of Hitler and his army’s acquisition of unique technologies at that time was overwhelming. They managed to quickly develop unique and powerful weapons and were in fact, during World War 2 creating new weapons and vehicles that were far more technologically advanced then any others of the time. Apparently, even before the famous Rosswell incident, the Nazis had encountered their own unique crash. 2. Puma PunkuOne of the most ancient sites in the world, Puma Punku remains a strange and enduring mystery. Found southeast of Lake Titicaca in the Andes Mountains, Puma Punku has been dated to be around 15,000 BC and predates that of the Inca settlement. Puma Punku is actually a part of Tiwanaku, a significant and religious site in later Incan traditions. Known in Aymara language as "The Door of the Puma," the complex is made up of an unwalled western court, terraced platform, a walled in court in the eastern section and a central esplanade without any walls.1. Ancient Text and CarvingsPerhaps the strongest proof hinting at the existence of advanced beings interacting with ancient mankind are those found in ancient texts and carvings. For modern man, much of ancient civilization is a mystery, but what's even more puzzling is seeing unusual creatures or objects that don't have any place in the past.There are several examples of this including those found in Sumerian text. Sumer is thought to be the first urban civilization in Mesopotamia. Top 5 Reasons proving Ancient Civilizations Were Visited by Advanced BeingsSupport the show Learn more about your ad choices.
