The world around us is full of mysteries. There are things we believe in without even knowing
about its existence. Science doesn’t always find an answer to all questions and that’s exactly why
we still love to watch movies like “Lord of the Rings’ and read ‘Harry Potter’ numerous times.
All mysterious things have a charm and the charm lies in the fact that we don’t know everything
about it. From old civilizations to some of the cultural practices, mystery has been associated
with every part of the world. There are innumerable places in the world which can be called
mysterious for some reason or another. Let’s have a look at five of them which make it to the
top.

monuments in the world. What makes this place special is the circular setting of standing stones.

went in making it. Stonehenge is believed to be a large earthwork constructed about 5000 years

This stone circle in Cumbria is an impressive pre historic monument in Britain. The stone circle
is said to date back to 3200 BC and is a vision in itself. Not only is it flooded with tourists all
around, it has also been a subject among archeologists. Apparently many of the stones of
Castlerigg reflect features in the surrounding hills.

38 stones of different shapes and sizes form this circle. Some of the stones are as high as 5 feet.
A mystery on how, when and why it was built, the Castlerigg is not a full circle and is flattened
on the northeast. Inside the eastern side is a rectangular enclosure of about 10 stones. The
purpose of this enclosure remains as mysterious as this whole structure.

Deep within the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala, this civilization flourished when Europe was
still in the Dark ages. These people were the masters of mathematics and had mapped the
heavens. These warriors called Maya had fought the Spanish. The cities were built with utmost
perfection without any metal tool. The stone structures found in jungle talks about the genius
they were. The Mayas are a mystery in themselves as such great architecture doesn’t seem to
belong to that era.

The underground world called Cenote are water bodies which will make a chill rn down your
spine if you manage to walk down the narrow stairs that led to this vertical hole. Nothing in the
world can be more bizarre than the sight you see when you get used to light under 20 feet.
