At first glance, it seems that the modern world has been studied enough. After all, scientific and technological progress has reached such a level that scientists probably have uncovered all the secrets. But this is far from the case.
Riddles of nature still exist today, unusual, shrouded in superstition and scientific hypotheses, defy any explanation.
Let's touch the most amazing of them, lifting the veil of secrecy.
Mystical "Curve Forest"
This pine forest, located nearPolish city Griffin, has more than 400 hundred trees, the curved trunks of which, all as one, are directed in one direction. Rising above the ground, they bend in an arc to the north, and then, straightening up, stretch up to 15 m. The riddles of nature do not end there. The forest has another oddity - no sound is heard in it. Grasshoppers do not chatter, birds do not sing. Complete silence.
Above the causes of this phenomenon, scientists are already fightingmore than 80 years. Some believe that the trunks were bent due to temperature extremes and strong winds. Others suggest that tree parasites are undermining the trees. Still others blame negative energy for everything, which changes the direction of growth of pines.
Locals joke, explaining that the trees are specifically turned towards the north so that no one gets lost in the forest.
And the “Curve Forest” itself is gloomily silent, without revealing its secret to anyone.
Valley of Wandering Stones
Mysteries of nature are found in every corner of the earth.ball. In the state of California (USA) there is one unusual plain located on the site of a dried up ancient lake. In fact, it is a desert without water and vegetation, on the surface of which stones are scattered. That's the whole point. It turns out that these stones move themselves on a completely flat terrain, overcoming 15-20 cm per day, which is reflected in the name of the terrain - the Valley of Wandering Stones.
Scientists are trying to explain these riddles of nature.seismic activity, strong winds or rains. But there is almost no precipitation in the valley, and stones, individual specimens of which weigh about 500 kg, can hardly be shifted by the wind.
But the natives are sure that the stones are moved by evil demons.
Ink lake
In the vicinity of the city of Sidi Bel (Algeria) there isunusual natural lake. Mysteries of nature (photos show them in all its glory) of this area are amazing. The lake is filled not with water, but with real ink, therefore there are no plants and fish in it.
Над этим феноменом ученые бились давно и все же found out the reason. It's all about the rivers that flow into the lake. One of them has huge amounts of dissolved iron salts, and the other, which flows through peatlands, contains organic compounds. Their waters, merging in the basin of the lake, enter into a chemical reaction, as a result of which real ink is formed.
Opinions of local residents on this subject are divided. Some believe that this is demonic tricks, and they call the lake the “Eye of the Devil”, while others derive benefit and jokingly call it “The Inkwell”.
We have yet to face something supernatural, amazing and even mystical. Riddles, secrets of nature are inexhaustible, and I would like to solve each of them.
