History’s Mysteries
History Trivia* In 1985, a dive tour operator discovered underwater structures that resembled pyramids off of the coast of Yonaguni-jima, Japan. The underwater pyramids have marks on them that indicate they may be manmade. Tools used to hew the structures have been located in the area. American geologists deny that the pyramids were made by an ancient civilization. They believe, though there is contradictory evidence, that the structures are natural formations. If that is true, what were the tools found in the area used for? Who is right, the American geologists or Japanese scientists who believe the pyramids indicate the presence of an ancient Japanese civilization that would re-write history? Will we ever know the answer to the mystery of the pyramids?
* Teamster kingpin, Jimmy Hoffa, went to a Detroit restaurant to meet someone on July 30, 1975. He was never seen again. No body was ever found and no one knows who he went to meet. What happened to Jimmy Hoffa on that July day so long ago? Will the mystery of his disappearance ever be solved?
* Did General George Armstrong Custer really make a Last Stand? Not according to Professor Richard Fox of the University of South Dakota anthropology department.
* After a wildfire, Fox conducted extensive research at the site of what is known as Custer’s Last Stand. He and his team found shell casings, human remains and other artifacts that indicate chaos reined when Custer and his men found themselves trapped. Fox and his team tracked the final movements of Custer and the 7th Calvary and they’ve found evidence to indicate that it was every man for himself on that fateful day at the Little Big Horn. Did Custer and the 7th Calvary make a Last Stand, or did they panic and run for their lives in the face of danger? Will we every know?
