With
the missing Malaysian airlines MH370 leaving the world confused and
bewildered, we give you a rundown of some of the world's biggest
unsolved mysteries that still manage to captivate us. Go figure...
Amelia Earhart:
One of the biggest aviation mysteries that continues to boggle the
minds of both the young and old since she disappeared on July 2, 1937
over the pacific which would be both the longest as well as the first
attempt by a woman to do the same. Because of her public persona and
fair celebrity status, search efforts were undertaken immediately but to
no avail. Theories of her disappearance have been diverse and unending.
While many believe that Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan ran out
of fuel and sank in the ocean, some believe that they crashed on an
uninhabited island and ultimately died. Some have speculated
possibilities of Earhart being a spy or even having assumed another
identity. It seems this mystery won't be laid to rest anytime soon.

Yeti: Tales
of the Yeti or the 'abominable snowman' have been recorded and spoken
about and even sent cryptozoologists in a tizzy but no one has ever come
close to identifying the mythical creature. Though there have also been
several reports and photographs and other traces of a large creatures
footprints over open snow lands, no physical body has ever been found.
Several studies have even claimed that the Yeti (or Bigfoot or
sasquatches) might be an ancient relative of humans who is somehow
thriving in complete solidarity. However, till some concrete proof is
found the Yeti remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the
world. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)
Lochness Monster: The
very popular sea monster known to live in the deep, daunting depths of
Loch Ness in Scotland, the Lochness Monster could debatably be one of
the most talked about mysteries of the world. Thousands of people flock
religiously to Loch to catch a glimpse of this mysterious creature.
There have been several theories concerning the Lochness monster, while
some believe that it might be a survivor from the dinosaur family,
others are convinced that it's a cryptic beast dwelling in the depths of
the ocean. (Thinkstock Photos/Getty Images)
Lost city of Atlantis:
The mystery of the lost city of Atlantis still manages to hold the
curiosity of people across the Globe. It is believed that simple,
virtuous people once populated the island of Atlantis, but as the land
started getting corrupted, Greek God Zeus gathered the other God's and
in a surge of anger and violence, the entire city and its people were
swallowed completely by the sea. Evidence of Atlantis being a real place
can be found in Plato's writings and have sparked debates and
controversies for centuries.
