## Resource

Imagine a 1,300-ton boulder perched high on a cliff in Tonga, nearly 200 meters inland and 39 meters above sea level. Scientists say it might be the last trace of a mega-tsunami thousands of years ago while local legends claim it was hurled there by the mythical hero Maui. And that’s just the beginning. From a cursed ranch in America to strange spheres falling from the sky, from lost pyramids in the Amazon to monuments older than Stonehenge, this compilation uncovers the most mysterious discoveries that challenge what we know about history and the world around us. Each story is a window into the unknown where science, myth, and mystery collide. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
