Mysteries

[Titus Bramble]

As a biologist my favourite (of ones I have heard of) is the bloop. The sound is confirmed to be non-man-made but also, based on current knowledge, originates from something larger than a Blue Whale. Fascinating.

Are these mysteries or just articles posted to scare the shyte out of people?

 

[Elong]

I think that article is the most harrowing thing I've read in my life. Especially regarding vivisection.

The Nanking Massacre was another Japanese atrocity which killed even more than that. Both Japanese led atrocities that dwarf most things the sane human mind could even imagine.

Are they innate monsters do you think? As in, given the opportunity, they are predisposed to that level of evil?

I've heard of these sort of places before, but I had no idea the scale of them, and the number of lives taken. Horrified really, and we say that the human race is civilised...

I remember this cracker.

That Smiling Man picture always gives me the Willies.

I actually find the ones like the Toynbee Tiles creepy. Just with there being no explainaton for the total weirdness of it.

1. The Sudarium of Oviedo

The Sudarium of Oviedo (kept in the Cathedral of San Salvador, Oviedo, Spain) is said to be the cloth that was wrapped around the head of Jesus after his crucifixion. Like the Shroud of Turin, it bears markings consistent with the manner of death and other evidence supports the fact that it was, at some point, on the same body as the shroud. Carbon dating has given two different results (7th century and 14th century) but, again like the shroud, the areas tested were most likely from repairs from the middle ages. In support of a more ancient date are pollen grains which date from the 1st century in the Middle East. The blood stains on both the shroud and the sudarium are the same, and the materials of the cloths are identical. The majority of the stains on the sudarium match the head region of the shroud. The Sudarium is believed to be the cloth mentioned in the Bible:

And when he stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying; but yet he went not in. Then cometh Simon Peter, following him, and went into the sepulchre, and saw the linen cloths lying, And the napkin that had been about his head [Sudarium?], not lying with the linen cloths [Shroud?], but apart, wrapped up into one place. — John 20:5-7
​

Visitors to Oviedo can see the Sudarium on display every year on Good Friday, the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross (14 September), and its octave (21 September).


Got any of your own favourate mysteries to share?

Is the shroud eligible to play tonight?

[ijjysmith]

Why did this man think shuttng down the ghost storage facility was ever going to be a good idea?

 

[Bluenose1995]

I cant believe the main people involved never got trialed for it. All because their ideas were liked by the US military.

yeah the "It has been postulated that one reason the scientists were not tried was that the information and experience gained in the studies of the biological warfare was of a great value for the United States biological weapons development program"

no wonder Obama wants the guns haha

 

[Groucho]

Think back to that Somerton Man case earlier in the thread. Some one believes to have identified him as H. C. Reynolds (a seaman) from the UK.
