New Recruits Of The 7th Queen's Own Hussars Regiment Practice Balancing On Wooden Horses, 1935

I remember the Queens Own Hussars in Hohne Germany (1985)
They were in the same Garrison as us & went to Canada with us on the Battle Group field exercises.
a lot of these Regiments, in particular the Cavalry were amalgimated

The imposing Sacsayhuamán walls above Cusco, Peru, are a masterpiece of Inca engineering. Enormous stones—some weighing over 100 tons—fit together so perfectly that not even a blade of grass can slip between them, all without the use of mortar. How the Incas quarried, transported, and shaped these stones with such precision remains a mystery, leaving historians fascinated and perplexed.

Among the famed Dead Sea Scrolls, the Copper Scroll stands apart. Unlike its counterparts, it is inscribed on thin metal and details a list of supposed hidden treasures. The locations and treasure described remain undiscovered, and the scroll’s cryptic language only deepens the enigma. Was it a real inventory or a symbolic text? Historians are still searching for answers

Carved into solid sandstone in Chica, the Longyou Caves remain a mystery. There are no historical records of their construction, and their precise purpose is unknown. The smooth, geometric walls and ceilings that can be as high as 100 ft. suggest advanced technologies, yet no tools or remains have been found to explain their creation.

The Quimbaya Airplanes - These small, gold figurines from Colombia closely resemble modern aircraft, with aerodynamic features that suggest flight capability. While some believe they depict stylized birds or insects, their recognizable forms have led some to argue that they’re evidence of ancient knowledge of aviation.

No mystery on this one - that's wes' first condo - just ask him for any technical stuff you might want to know.

The Voynich Manuscript is one of the world’s most perplexing books. Filled with mysterious illustrations of unknown plants, star charts, and bathing women, its pages are covered in a script that no one has ever been able to read. The origins, language, and intent of the manuscript remain hotly debated, with some even questioning if it’s an elaborate hoax. Despite modern cryptographic efforts, its secrets are still locked away, inspiring both fascination and frustration.

Unearthed in 1908 on Crete, the Phaistos Disc is a fired clay object inscribed with spiraling, stamped symbols. Scholars have struggled for decades to decipher its meaning—some believe it’s a hymn or prayer, while others think it could be a type of game or record. The true purpose of the disc remains elusive, adding to its allure as one of archaeology’s most intriguing puzzles.

This kind of stuff is fascinating. You wonder if it was just some artist of the time throwing random stuff on pages or clay and when modern people find it, we're so desperate for some meaning we overlook the fact that it's just art, not a secret message from the past from the aliens.
