Top 5 strange things that were myths and have now become reality
1. Corpses that turn into mummies naturally without human intervention:
It was believed that mummies only existed in the legends of the pharaohs and ancient societies, but scientists have discovered natural mummies in areas such as the Andes Mountains, where the harsh environment has strangely preserved them without any human intervention.
2. Underground cities hidden for thousands of years:
The idea of underground cities such as the “City of Agartha” was just a myth. But in Turkey, the huge underground city of Derinkuyu was discovered, which contains tunnels and rooms enough to house tens of thousands, making the myth closer to reality.
3. Deadly light in the sky (ball lightning):
The phenomenon of ball lightning was considered a myth or hallucination, where a ball of light appears to float in the air and then disappear. Today, scientists have documented this phenomenon using technology, and have seen it happen in the wild and even inside homes!
4. Giant sea monsters:
Sailors’ stories of giant sea creatures such as the “kraken” were once considered myths. Now, a giant squid over 18 meters long has been documented in the depths of the oceans, which is the closest description of these mythical creatures.
5. Gateways to other worlds (black holes):
There were ancient stories of places leading to “other worlds” or “the ends of the earth.” Modern science has confirmed the existence of black holes, places in the universe that swallow everything, even light, and may be gateways to new dimensions, as some scientists suggest.
These discoveries make us wonder: What other myths might one day become reality?
