That site is so loaded down with ads that I can’t even get the list of 14.

I count 13 items. I’ll take a first pass stab at them.

For the record I think there are far more legit archaeological mysteries, such as those attached to the builders of “Jericho and Çatalhöyük, dated to the eighth millennium BC, are among the earliest proto-cities known to archaeologists.[46][53]”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City#Ancient_times

Jump to:
Was King Arthur real?
***Probably was real, yes. Lots of fancy mythology built up around him.

Jack the Ripper
***Some sociopath in the 19th century. Not even worth looking into.

Where is Jimmy Hoffa?
***Probably dead, like several have claimed. Killed by the mob. Duhh.

Cleopatra’s tomb
***That would be an interesting find. It’s probably already looted, though.

Who killed JFK?
***Lee Harvey Oswald.

Julius Caesar’s son
***I don’t think anyone particularly cares about this.

Oak Island money pit
***At least this mystery is fun. Let them dig for it. I hope they hit it big.

The Copper Scroll
***I’ll have to read up on this one.

Fate of the Ark of the Covenant
***Probably in that little church in Ethiopia.

When was Jesus born?
***At night. heh, heh. It was warm enough so the shepherds were sleeping outside, so it was extremely unlikely to be at the end of December, more like April. It doesn’t really matter if we can’t fix the exact date.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon
***They were real and there’s been archaeology over it.

City of Atlantis
***Probably the ancient civilization on the island of Minoa, destroyed in one day by a volcano.

Where is the Holy Grail?
***A chimera of history. The San Graar was Holy Blood, which some Templar Knights and other credulous folks went looking for in the hopes they would find a direct ancestor of Jesus because He supposedly had sex with Mary Magdalene. Even ancient folks had their bullshiite.

The “Hanging Gardens” likely weren’t in Babylon. They are believed to have been the terraced gardens at Nineveh, but I don’t think we know for certain yet.
