Easter Island’s famous tall stone moai are mostly similar in appearance. Why is only one kneeling and wearing a beard? The US military has developed plenty of top-secret gizmos, but did they really build a flying saucer in the 1950s? In the 1700s, did physician Franz Anton Mesmer really cure all ills, as he claimed, with a giant wooden bucket?

What is your favorite mystery featured in this episode? 🤔
Urannus
The mystery is what happened to National Geographic? The wonderful magazine of my childhood subscription; the discoveries of Richard Leakey, Jane Goodall, and Jacques-Yves Cousteau…devolved into clickbait and inane audience-mongering strategies. No thanks. I’ll click for you…on that button that says, “Unsubscribe.”
@anodyne57It’s called “adapting with the times”… Businesses an people who don’t adapt get left in the past and become ancient history aka the old nagging g’parents we hated growing up (hmm.. sounds a lil familiar huh😏)!
Mesmer’s “Contraption” – the idea of magnetism affecting the body has come full circle and is now indeed a legitimate therapy for certain brain ailments. “Animal Magnetism” gets a nod everywhere as well😅
@Adrian-z5b7l its about dumbing people down
NatGeo is 💩 now, how sad, byeee
Anything @natgeo produces is 100% govermnent propaganda
So what is the so called “propoganda” that they are pushing ?
This show was a COMPLETE waste of time. Horrible programming
We need to send a Scientific team back in time to de-mystify all these things. While you’re at it there’s some things around 12,000 years ago that also need answers.
People with all black pupils look evil. They look like zombies. No life. No soul. But still walking and talking.
Okay im saying it…..the nose is big and wide..bodies are stouter and thicker boned and slightly shorter than a us. the cave….
This is so good I literally am letting all the ads run so they get money to keep doing this. No joke. I loved Strangest Things when it first launched I watched every episode and then it seemed to go off the air. Just found it again on YouTube hosted by National Geographic and it’s even better. More experts from a wide variety of fields, great cover stories to the objects presented and an almost playful sense of humor on some of the outrageous devices men have made over the millenia. Great show worth every episode, NOT KIDDING!
Lapita describes a pottery tradition and associated archaeological pattern. It does not speak for Hawaiian cosmogony. Our origin is articulated through Pō and genealogy, not continents.
