Children's riddles: how to choose?
Surprisingly, children's preferences for riddles are so different that it is not possible to identify any trend. Of course, kids are delighted with riddles for children about birds, animals, all sorts of bugs and spiders. Older children love to play riddles about fairy-tale characters and modern cartoon characters.

There are so many unsolved mysteries and secrets in the world that it even becomes a little uneasy! Someone is constantly trying to comprehend these secrets of the higher worlds, but once again they fail. Ciphers, encoded messages, mysterious signs in the margins, cryptograms, etc. - all this intrigues not only scientists, but also ordinary people. Each of us, at least once in our lives, thinks about one of the many mysteries of our universe. Or maybe someone else has yet to solve it?
Mysteries are all around us.
How many films have been made and books written about how to solve these mysteries, but all these films are just science fiction. In fact, neither the world-famous manuscripts nor the complex messages to descendants from their ancestors have ever been fully unraveled.
The Voynich Mystery
It was never possible to unravel the unknown language in which the manuscript was written. In 1912, Wilfrid Voynich, an antiquarian book dealer, acquired a very strange book. All of its 240 pages contained completely new letters and numbers (if they were these characters at all). In addition to words in an incomprehensible language, the book also contained diagrams and illustrations that demonstrated incomprehensible events and also depicted unimaginable plants. Mystery? And what a one! It was not possible to determine who the author of the manuscript was. But scientists were able to determine the time period in which the book was created - 1404–1438.
The Voynich Mystery Manuscript No one has tried to decipher the handwritten manuscript, but all in vain. But it doesn’t look like the author of the text simply decided to make fun of his descendants and drew scribbles to mislead everyone. Today there are a large number of theories in which the great scientists of the world are trying to uncover the secret of the book. Some think that this is a manual on alchemy, others - a pharmacopoeia, and still others generally see the intervention of other worlds in the creation of the manuscript and assign the book the status of an extraterrestrial manuscript. But whoever the author of the manuscript was, he definitely did not spare his personal time, effort and money to create it!
Secrets of the higher worlds! Difficult to understand, encrypted and not completely solved, the riddle on the sculpture located near the CIA in the USA is the sensational Kryptos! The sculpture was created by master Sanborn and the four encryptions on its surface have never been fully solved (despite this “neighborhood” with the CIA). Scientists managed to solve the first three riddles, but they are still struggling with the last one (despite the artist’s hints that the answer to it is encrypted in the first cipher). In 2010, the most persistent researchers were still able to unravel one word in the code - Berlin, but what other words are nearby is still unknown.
Finding Bale's Treasure
Thomas Bale at the beginning of the 19th century was able to extract treasure during the development of gold deposits in Colorado. It is unknown what motivated this man, but he decided to encrypt the location of real wealth from a large number of precious metals and stones. For this he used a set consisting of three encryptions. Of these, only the second was decoded, and the key to it was the Declaration of American Independence. This code indicated the area where the treasure is located, but the exact location of the cache is still unknown. Many seekers of adventures and mysterious treasures still hunt for untold wealth to this day.
How to find the Holy Grail?
In the UK there is the famous Shepherd Monument, created in the 18th century in Staffordshire. Many people think that this is a message from the ancients to our contemporaries regarding the place where the Holy Grail is kept. The letters of the code have a certain sequence, but no one can decipher it. The author of the code is unknown, and this is another mystery of the surrounding world. Scientists suggest that in this way the Templars encrypted the secret of finding the Grail. Many celebrities tried to decode this code, including Charles Dickens and Darwin.
Writing system or Rongorongo
Mysterious signs depicted on artifacts and called Rongorongo were found on Easter Island. Scientists believe that these may be writing systems invented by different branches of humanity. It has not yet been possible to decipher the secrets of the ancient words, but there is an opinion that the encryption contains some information about the civilization that built the statues on this island.
Message from Space
In 1977, as part of a program to search for signals from extraterrestrial intelligence, Jerry Eman recorded an incomprehensible signal, and it actually did not come from Earth. Human communication with an extraterrestrial civilization lasted only 72 seconds, which was supposedly located in the constellation Sagittarius, which is 120 light years away from our planet. On his transcript, the young man wrote the word “Wow” as an expression of delight at communicating with aliens. Perhaps the younger generation uses this word for a reason, but at the suggestion of other worlds!
Secrets of the Phaistos Disc
This is the most difficult riddle that Indiana Jones himself would be unable to solve if he existed in reality, and not just on the TV screen. The disk was found at the beginning of the last century by an archaeologist from Italy named Luigi Pernier. This disk contains some strange symbols. Their similarity with the hieroglyphs of ancient Chinese written languages is visible. It is believed that the secrets of the ancient world are contained in this message, because it is at least three thousand years old, made in the second millennium BC. The Phaistos Disc is the most important of all archaeological mysteries.
Mysterious underwater world
The secrets of the underwater world are of interest to scientists and ordinary people on all continents. Learning about ancient civilizations that lived before the Flood, revealing the secrets of Atlantis that sank under the water and solving other most difficult problems associated with Hydrocosmos is important for understanding our history. And if earlier they devoted a lot of time to studying the underwater world, now they have switched more to space exploration. But there are also many secrets in the depths that have not yet been comprehended!
Who are NZOs?
Unknown noises are recorded using modern acoustic devices (hydrophones). For the first time, they were used by American military services to track the movement of enemy submarines - the USSR. With the help of the devices it was possible to listen not only to the songs of whales, but also to something more interesting. The secrets of the underwater world were not completely revealed to scientists, but they concluded that in the ocean someone was sending targeted, conscious signals. received the name NZO - unidentified sound object. And who issues these signals has not been established to this day. Maybe these are messengers from the ancient world, aliens, sea monsters or someone else?
"Quakers" of the World Ocean
Great scientists tried to answer the question of who makes the interesting “kwa-kwa” sounds underwater. Maybe it's a huge sea frog? Doubtful! It all started with the interest of sailors who served on submarines in this phenomenon. Using hydroacoustic devices, they picked up strange signals and called them Quakers. This name is even mentioned in the official documentation.
The sound came from objects circling around the boats. This is exactly what was established thanks to direction finding. The strange creatures, which could not be detected, seemed to be trying to establish contact with the submarines, because they willingly responded to the signals of the submarine itself. And there was no aggression from the Quakers. The submarine was accompanied by the creatures to a specific area and then they left it, saying their usual “kwa-kwa” in parting. What it was is still a mystery. So far, scientists have stopped working on it (or are doing it unnoticed by large masses of people, so as not to spread panic), but the sounds have not disappeared and still bring fear to sailors.
This anomalous zone does not reveal one iota of the secrets of the underwater world, but only confuses researchers even more. Complex calculations, great research - but the mystery is still not solved. Since 1492, this place has been considered at least strange and frightening. The glow of water and sky, tongues of flame, frenzied compass needle - all this is noted in the notes of Columbus’s own expedition. In 1840, the place located near Bermuda was given the informal name of the triangle. In this area, a self-moving ship was then found, which was completely without a crew. Where the crew and thousands of other people who disappeared in this area after the strange discovery went is unknown to modern science.
Not only ships, but also aircraft have disappeared and are disappearing in this place. Moreover, it has never been possible to find any debris or remains. But scientists studying the seabed in the Bermuda region came across a huge pyramid, several times larger than the famous pyramid of Cheops. The walls of this structure are absolutely smooth - there are no plaques, shells or algae on them, and they are made of a material that resembles glass ceramics. The secrets of the underwater world, even with this discovery, were not fully explored. The ocean is still a mystery to us, one that interested ancient scientists and our contemporaries. Many studies of great scientists are classified. But sooner or later everything secret becomes clear, so let's wait!
Atlantis has disappeared from view
The world only learned thousands of years later that there was another continent. And searching and researching it will take the same amount of time. The secrets of the underwater world are revealed only to those who are persistent! Among representatives of the ancient world, Aristotle mentioned Atlantis. But words are words, but evidence of the existence of the continent in the form of remains of civilization has not yet been found. They say that not all of the Atlanteans perished and founded their city in Tibet. And Mount Kailash is nothing more than one of the pyramids built by these giants. But where they lived before and what actually happened to their homeland is known only from myths. But to believe them or not is up to you to decide!
The secrets of the ancient world, the depths of the sea, one generation to another - this has always aroused and continues to arouse interest among people. Great scientists have not yet been able to solve many mysteries. Maybe you will be the one to do this, write in the comments!
World history holds a lot of mysteries. Despite increasingly sophisticated methods and billion-dollar research budgets, there are some things science has never explained.
1. Was there Atlantis?
Atlantis - the most famous of the legendary continents of the ancient world . Plato wrote about it in detail. She was mentioned in their writings by Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Posidonius, Strabo and Proclus. According to Plato, the island was located to the west of the Pillars of Hercules, opposite the Atlanta Mountains. During a strong earthquake, he went under water in one day. This happened around 9500 BC.
Atlantis was searched all over the world, from Gibraltar to Peru and Brazil, but today there is not a single scientifically based theory of its location.
2. Was there a Great Flood?
global flood mentioned not only in the canonical books of the Bible, but also in the later apocrypha. For example, in the Book of Enoch. The story of the flood can be found in other books, in the Jewish Haggadah and Midrash Tankhuma, as well as in the Sumerian myth of Ziusudra. The first surviving Sumerian flood poems date back to the 18th century BC.
There are mentions of sea trends in the myths of all cultures, but did the flood really happen? Historians cannot yet give a definite answer. However, it is known, for example, that around 5600 BC. There was a real flood in the Mediterranean when, due to earthquakes, the level of the Black Sea rose by 140 meters, it increased 1.5 times, and the Sea of Azov appeared. Perhaps for the inhabitants of those places it was a “global flood”.
3. Who built the pyramids?
No matter how modern reconstructors and scientists struggle with the solution mysteries of pyramid construction, convincing versions of the method of their construction have not yet been found. Some experts say that the pyramids were built from ready-made blocks hewn out of the rock, others (Joseph Davilowitz) say that the blocks were made at the construction site from a mixture of stone chips and “geopolymer concrete” based on limestone. The incredible complexity of the process calls into question all hypotheses. The question also remains open about who built the pyramids, slaves or civilian workers, and how many there were.
4. Where did the Mayans go?
The Mayan civilization was one of the most developed, but by the time the conquistadors arrived, only scattered forest tribes remained of the Mayans, underdeveloped and not representing a serious force. They lived in huts and did not build majestic temples and palaces. Where did the Mayans go? The mystery is still not solved. There are many versions, from epidemic and war to alien intervention, but none of them is proven.
5. Who were the Sumerians?
About the Sumerians The world community learned only in the middle of the 19th century, when scientists proved that in Mesopotamia there existed a state whose age reaches 6,000 years. It was from him that Babylon and Assyria inherited their culture.
It is still unknown where the Sumerians came to Mesopotamia. It is assumed that this was a mountainous region, since in the Sumerian language the words “country” and “mountain” are spelled the same. It also had to be an area with advanced technology - the Sumerians were pioneers in many fields of knowledge, from astronomy to physics. It is speculative, but not yet proven, that this could be in the south of India.
6. Did the Vikings discover America?
Norman version America's discoveries are being voiced more and more often, but the Columbus version is still the official one. What's interesting about both of them is that both times America was discovered by mistake (a Scandinavian trader named Bjarni Herjulfsson lost his course due to a storm, and Columbus sailed to India).
There is much less material on the Norman version than on the Columbus version, and not all of them are considered authentic, which greatly undermines its credibility.
7. Who were the Hyksos?
They are called "shepherd kings." It was during their reign that a two-wheeled military chariot appeared in Egypt, which changed the tactics of combat. Little is known about them. The Hyksos were nomadic tribes, “rulers of the desert highlands,” who invaded Egypt around 1700. BC e. They ruled it for more than 100 years and even founded an entire dynasty of Hyksos kings. The Hyksos were expelled from Egypt only by the founder of the 18th dynasty, Ahmose I, in 1587 BC. e. The question of who exactly the Hyksos were, where they came from and where they disappeared remains open.
8. Why did Neanderthals go extinct?
Human and Neanderthal genomes are approximately 99.5% identical, but this does not mean that we descended from Neanderthals. We have 98% genome similarity with monkeys.
Contrary to popular belief that Neanderthals were semi-savage, they were not. This was a fairly developed evolutionary branch; they even knew how to make musical instruments. The versions of their disappearance are as follows: 1) Assimilation; 2) Genocide of the Cro-Magnons; 3) The Ice Age, which they did not survive because they did not know how to make clothes as they were unnecessary.
None of these versions is yet scientifically legitimized.
9. Where did the Scythians disappear to?
It is believed that Scythia was the first state to disappear as a result of the Great Migration. The Scythians fought with the Sarmatians, Philip and Alexander the Great, with the Goths and Huns. It is believed that after the defeat of the latter, most of the Scythians died, while many became part of the winning army. In history, because of this, there is a lot of confusion with the later definition of the Scythians. Some historians count Chechens and Ossetians among the descendants of the Scythians.
10. Why did Alexander the Great die?
We still don't know where he is buriedAlexander the Great. This significantly reduces the chances of finding out the main mystery - why he died in the prime of his life, at 32 years old. The Persians, whom he mercilessly defeated, claimed that the commander was punished by heaven for desecrating the tomb of King Cyrus. The Macedonians who returned home said that the great commander died of drunkenness and debauchery (sources brought to us information about his 360 concubines). Roman historians believed that he was poisoned with some kind of slow-acting Asian poison. According to the most common version, Alexander died of malaria. She does not explain why she made such a “single strike.”
11. Did King Arthur exist?
Almost all of us have known King Arthur since childhood. The Arthurian cycle was a bestseller back in the Middle Ages, and in our time it has become one of the cult phenomena of mass culture. Some critics argue that all fantasy literature came out of Arthuriana. However, the authenticity of Arthur's existence as a separate historical figure has not yet been proven. Probably, the real prototype of Arthur had a different name, or it is a collective image of several prototypes.
12. Why did the plague “mow down” Europe?
In the story of the European plague pandemic, which literally “mowed down” Europe in the Middle Ages, there was a lot of incomprehensible. Thus, it was not possible to identify wild rodents whose habitats would also extend so far to the north. There is no answer to the question of why the Black Death pandemic struck Europe in the same sequence and over the same territories, and for the same time, as the first pandemic - the Plague of Justinian (531-589)? How did its outbreaks flare up synchronously over very extensive areas of Europe, for example, the plague epidemic in Moscow and London in the middle of the 17th century?
13. Where did the gold of the royal family go?
By the beginning of World War I, the Russian Empire had the world's largest gold reserves, which were estimated at 1 billion 695 million rubles (1311 tons of gold, more than 60 billion dollars at 2000s exchange rates).
The fate of most of the gold reserves of Tsarist Russia is still unknown ( "Kolchak's gold"). This was approximately 490 tons of pure gold in bullion and coins valued at 650 million. According to one version, it was stolen by the Czechoslovak corps, according to another, it was hidden on the orders of Kolchak himself, according to the third, the funds ended up in European banks.
14. Where did the Templar gold go?
The countless treasures of the Templars are still legendary. According to the historian Lozinsky, the chief treasurer of the order was the chief treasurer of France, and the largest debtor of the order was King Philip IV the Fair of France.
After the trial of the Templars, he discovered that there was not much jewelry and gold in the treasuries. Where the Templar gold went is a mystery. It is known that the surviving Templars transported part of the accumulated treasures on ships, but where is not known for certain. If you believe the legends, the Templar gold ended up in Nova Scotia - the territory of modern Canada. It is believed that part of it was transported to the Canadian Oak Island, where the descendants of the temple knights hid it in a cache with numerous traps.
15. Where did the 10 tribes of Israel go?
At the end of the 8th century BC, five-sixths of Jews disappeared completely - 10 out of 12 ethnic groups. They have been sought for for 2,500 years, and are sometimes found in the most unexpected places - from India to Europe. About his kinship with the lost tribes They even say it in Japan. There is a religious movement called Makuya, whose representatives claim that the imperial title “Mikado” itself comes from the Hebrew mi gadol (great). None of the versions is official today.
16. Who built Stonehenge?
The mystery of the megalithic complex Stonehenge has not yet been solved. According to one version, it was built by the Druids, according to another - by the Celts, according to the third - by the ancient Britons, according to the fourth - by Merlin himself. There are those who claim that Stonehenge is a hoax and was built in modern times.
It is also unknown exactly how Stonehenge was built. During the restoration of the complex, which began in 1901 and was completed only in 1964, the stones were rearranged using cranes, but in the Middle Ages there was no such equipment.
17. How were the monuments built on Easter Island?
The most widely accepted theory among researchers is that the moai on Easter Island were erected by settlers from the Polynesian islands in the 11th century. How they did this is still unknown. Thor Heyerdahl's experiments were only partially successful. Its method of transportation was not suitable for multi-meter colossi weighing 50 tons or more. The Norwegian scientist also could not explain how the Maoi wore hats weighing up to two tons.
18. Where was the “cradle” of the Indo-Europeans?
This question still remains open. It was previously believed that the “cradle” of the Indo-Europeans was in India, but linguistic analysis refutes this. Typically, in the region of origin of a language family, there are many different languages and dialects of the same family, and India has only one Indo-Aryan branch of languages. In Central and Eastern Europe, by contrast, there are hundreds of varieties of Indo-European languages.
The most reliable, although not proven, version is that the ancestral homeland of the Indo-Europeans was the Volga and Black Sea lands, where archaeologists recorded the Yamnaya culture.
19. What caused the Great Migration of Europe?
Great Migration destroyed the ancient world, building the Middle Ages on its ruins. Despite many versions, it is still not clear what was the main reason for the movement of the barbarians. As is usually the case in such cases, scientists talk about the sum of factors. Firstly, about overpopulation in Scandinavia, secondly, about changing climatic conditions (cooling and increasing humidity), and finally, about a shift in social strata - the tribal elite that came to power was interested in profit. The best target was the Roman Empire.
20. Who sponsored the Bolsheviks?
The question is whose money revolution was carried out in Russia still remains controversial. For a long time, the main version was that the German General Staff played the first role in financing, but today more and more historians are inclined to believe that support came from England, from Wall Street, and even from the Old Believers, who had close business relationships. contacts with English industrialists.
