A survey of enduring mysteries

From the Nazca lines and Stonehenge to the Mary Celeste and Bermuda Triangle, *A History of the Unexplained* gathers mysteries associated with places, historical events, unusual natural phenomena, and alleged encounters. It also covers cryptids such as the Yeti and Chupacabra, along with topics including telekinesis and the Hollow Moon theory. The book lays out key theories proposed for these subjects, framing them as questions and debated explanations rather than settled answers. Its broad scope connects familiar puzzles with claims at the margins of scientific inquiry, while images accompany the survey.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adults interested in historical mysteries and unexplained events.
  • For readers curious about UFO reports, cryptids, unusual phenomena, and debated theories.
  • For browsers who prefer a wide-ranging illustrated overview to a book on one mystery alone.

Book overview

Have aliens already visited Earth? Who built Stonehenge and why? Could Bigfoot really exist? And what really happened aboard the Mary Celeste?

A History of the Unexplained explores these questions and many more, providing a comprehensive and unbiased account of the world's most enduring mysteries - from Peru's Nazca lines and the Bermuda Triangle to out-of-body experiences and encounters with UFOs - with details of the key theories that have been proposed about each one.

Fascinating and thought-provoking in equal measure, the book examines strange natural phenomena from ball lightning to creature storms, explores the potential existence of mysterious "cryptids" like the Yeti and Chupacabra, and examines a wide range of other intriguing subjects at the very margins of scientific enquiry, including telekinesis and the "Hollow Moon" theory.

Packed with incredible images and perfect for anyone with an enquiring mind, this essential book is the ultimate guide to the world's biggest mysteries...

...The truth is in here.
