[@jacobalbores]

The Tamam Shud or Somerton man has already been identified.

[@Trekkie_Gal]

And he didn't wash up on the beach. He had been seen laying on the beach (alive) the night before he was found dead.

[@AngelH91]

@@Trekkie_Gal Yea that struck me as strange as well that they got that detail wrong, his idenity hasn't been confirmed by police just yet but the evidence especially with DNA seems too conclusive

Yeah, it was solved a while ago. I'm wondering why they added him to this list.

[@bluepandavideos]

I've noticed a lot of American 'mystery' shows say it's the biggest unsolved case. But they solved it years ago. It shits me people can't be bothered to update their facts

[@94memyselfni]

From Wikipedia about the Somerton Man (aka Tamam Shud): "On 26 July 2022, University of Adelaide professor Derek Abbott, in association with genealogist Collen M. Fitzpatrick, concluded the man was Carl 'Charles' Webb, an electrical engineer and instrument maker born in 1905, based on genetic genealogy from DNA of the man's hair. South Australia Police and Forensic Science South Australia did not verify the result, although they were hopeful of being able to do so." It's omissions like this, as well as other material, that garner WatchMojo's bad reputation (I still watch because I find it entertaining, if not accurate or credible.)

[@kathrynhaught630]

Radiocarbon dating has shown that the Shroud of Turin is way too young to be genuine.

[@eburel506]

I think the mystery now is how it was made.

[@YungSosaAces]

Ive seen some articles that its a masterpiece art . I dont know who the artist is , its maybe the time of leonardo da vincis era .​@@eburel506

[@suscon1140]

Not necessarily. From what I understand, the evidence of cotton re-weaving in the section of the Shroud, a "patch," that was tested could have easily affected the carbon dating. It should be conducted again with a section of the Shroud that shows no patchwork being completed. Cotton reweaving was not performed until the 16th century, well after the carbon date, so something really does seem to be off with that date.

[@gtramsay]

You kind of lost me at 0:02. The Turin Shroud? Come on! Pretty nearly EVERYONE in the Western world has heard of that.

[@BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! 6:07 There's a story possibly related to the Paracas Candelabra in the ancient Indian Vedic texts. The story goes like this. Lord Shiva and his Goddess wife Parvati were once cursed by one of the sages and they were vanished from the Earth. Their two sons tried their best to find their parents and found Machu Pichu in South America. The story doesn't say 'Machu Pichu', but the description of the mountain top paradise, including a weird animal (Llama) and other interesting details are indeed identical to the mountain top resort. In the story, two brothers looked for their parents separately, so they had to mark the ground where they have searched already. The ground was marked with the symbol of Lord Shiva's primary weapon - a trident.

[@gonkie4658]

Watch Mojo never disappoint. They are true masters at creating lists that don't list the things they supposed to list. And are unparalleled in their consistency when it comes to reserving the no1 spot for something that makes you ask yourself- ' was that in ascending order?' Maybe I'm just being overly critical but if you attempted to make this list. Whilst researching for things to include in it (you could make a strong argument to the contrary, but I assume they spend at least some time on research). When deciding which to use for your big finish. Am I the only one who would dismiss anything that has a description that starts with the words- "according to legend". And if you feel that alone isn't disqualifying. Surely you have to draw a line somewhere if everything known about this "legend" could be summarized as-- 'Somewhere, we don't know where. Someone, we don't know who. Found two green kids. Despite it being incredibly easy. WatchMojo, you are hilariously bad at the only thing you do. Please never change.

[@JZJ7777]

If the bridge is known for dogs leaping off and dying, Why ? Are ppl still taking their DOGS ACROSS IT?!!!

[@adamotoole6895]

Well, I used to walk across the bridge with me ex wife. She never jumped off, so it's not all dogs 😅

[@shevster13]

In reality, there has only been a couple dogs to die on the bridge. And in all cases its almost certain that the dog tried to jump up on the wall running along the edge of the bridge, and slipped off due to the top of the wall being angled and very smooth.

[@brontewcat]

@@dukeofthedance8062 It clearly was meant to be a joke. I just think that those type of jokes are nasty, even it is a woman makes it. Years ago I came to the conclusion if we tell men to stop make these jokes, then it is hypocritical for women to think it was okay to make similar jokes. Jokes are fine, but not when they use disrespect. for the other sex. Just to understand the point- if we transpose the person about whom the joke is a person of colour, then most people would not think it was funny or appropriate.

How is The Shroud of Turin a “mystery you’ve never heard of”? The Shroud of Turin is the most famous Relic or Mystery.

[@AppalachianPatrick]

With the Flannan Isles Lighthouse, I personally do believe that either a rogue wave came ashore, or a landslide induced tsunami caused a wave that took the lighthouse keepers. Maybe they all went outside to look at the wave, not expecting it to come all the way up to them. We will probably never know!

[@kellyshomemadekitchen]

That’s my theory too!

[@ynnosredd3190]

I watched a video before telling that the shroud of Turin actually got burned during the middle ages at least on the four sides. it was repaired well, using a cloth from that era and when scientists took a sample of the cloth Vatican only allowed them to take a piece of it from the sides that's why they indicated the date of it was existed in middle age.

Don't know if this helps, but it is clear (at least to what I can hear from my phone) some of the things said in one of the hijackings: “Jesus” followed by incoherent mumbling, then with the glove, I think they said, “The glove is dirty.” I haven't heard the entire recording, nor did I use any fancy audio software… Maybe they're saying lines from the show? I've never seen the show, but it could be. I doubt that I’m onto any new information, but maybe this will clarify something.
