Of the 10 most hidden places in the world, the 51st District of the United States is only ranked ninth, and the first place is called the secret grave of mankind, and scientists have not dared to make it public. In a world full of wonders and unsolved mysteries, some places are particularly fascinating because of their mysteries. Some areas are covered by strict protection measures, while others are hidden deep in remote and uninhabited natural environments. These locations not only fascinate explorers and historians, but also pique the endless curiosity of ordinary people. Today we will take a look at the 10 most hidden places in the world and learn about the untold magical stories behind them.
10th place: Pionan Data Center.
In this face-watching society, facing cold machinery and equipment every day will make people feel less enthusiastic about work. But next, we're going to talk about a data center that's anything but ordinary. Not only is the location unique, but the architectural design is eye-opening. The Pionan data center is located in the city of Stockholm, Sweden, about 30 meters below the street, with a total area of 1,200 square meters. This place was originally a military bunker and river-proof bunker during the Cold War. In 2007-2008, it was redesigned by designers to give it what it is today. In order to expand the space, more than 4,000 cubic meters of hard granite entrances and exits were blown up during the renovation, and the 40-centimeter-thick steel blast doors almost completely separated it from normal human society. For a data center, security is the primary consideration. This data center employs multiple layers of physical and digital security measures. In addition to the steel doors, they also reinforced the walls, equipped with a fingerprint scanner, 24-hour surveillance, and a backup system. Its servers are powered by two generator sets converted from diesel submarines with a high level of security and confidentiality. It has attracted a number of customers, including WikiLeaks, and many of them are the best institutions, making it a valuable treasure trove of information. To enhance the comfort of the working environment, the data center has a simulated solar greenhouse waterfall and a 2,600-litre seawater fish tank. Step inside and you'll feel like you've arrived at the secret headquarters of the villains from the 007 series of films.
9th place: U.S. District 51.
Area 51 refers to a military base in the southern state of Nevada, United States. The history of this base dates back to the Cold War, when the site was used as a secret flight test, so it has been kept strictly secret. It was not until 2003 that the United States** publicly recognized the existence of Area 51, which appeared in official documents and military maps of the United States**. But as for what Area 51 is used for, ** has always been tight-lipped. Area 51 operated in secret for decades until 1989, when a self-proclaimed Bob who worked there claimed in a public interview that the military had reverse-engineered alien spacecraft there and applied the technology to U.S. military and space programs. His statement immediately sparked widespread discussion and speculation. The most widely circulated theory is that Area 51 contains the bodies of an alien spacecraft and its pilot that crashed in Roseville, New Mexico, in 1947. The U.S. Air Force claims that the UFO sightings were weather balloons, but many people are skeptical. The question of whether or not Area 51 is studying extraterrestrial civilizations seems to be difficult to draw definitive conclusions based on rumors and unconfirmed reports alone. So, in 2019, this well-known and little-known location caused a stir on the web. At the time, more than 2 million people responded to an anonymous Facebook post planning to brave Area 51 to see if the legendary aliens lived there. In the end, it is said that about 3,000 people participated in the event, which is known as Storm Area 51. In order to attract traffic, the local area even held two village festivals. As for what exactly is inside the mysterious Area 51, it is still a mystery.
8th place: Royal Air Force Base at Mount Manweis.
Mount Manwis RAF Base is located in North Yorkshire, England, and was originally established to provide communications services to the United Kingdom and the United States. Although it was a RAF station, in the 60s it was transferred to the United States Bureau of Operations. Now, it is a communications interception and missile warning station, containing a huge satellite ground station, and is the world's largest electronic information monitoring station. This surveillance system can eavesdrop on fixed**, cell phones, fax machines, and computers, and even track bank accounts. Although a search warrant is required for this behavior in the United States, little is known about the facility because it is not in the United States and the project does not even officially exist. In the TV series "Squirrel Valley", the Australian intelligence officers as the host were affected by the strength of the country and had to obey the orders of the United States, making the audience realize that in the complex geopolitical relationship, no matter how much Australia moves left and right, it is difficult to avoid the influence of a strong country.
7th place: Pine Valley.
Located in the middle of the Australian continent, Pine Valley is an electronic intelligence gathering base that was built on a large scale during the Cold War. The main function is to monitor various military satellites of strategic adversaries and collect electronic communication information. This base is also known as Australia's Area 51, and according to **, the core part of Pine Valley is managed by the US **Intelligence Agency and the US *** Bureau, and Australia has no way to approach and intervene. It is mainly used for intelligence gathering, signal interception, and satellite tracking. The sky over Pine Valley is currently the only area in Australia that is off-limits, and little is known about it. There is even speculation that Pine Valley is an alien base, but in any case, such a subtle U.S.-Australian intelligence cooperation agency has become the inspiration for many film and television works**, and the TV series "Squirrel Valley" shows complex geopolitical relations through the encounter of Australian intelligence officers.
Sixth place: Mount Weser Top Secret Project.
Known as the underground Pentagon, the Mount Weser Top Secret Project is located in the mountains of Virginia, USA, covering an area of about 2 square kilometers. This place was built in the 50s of the last century to provide a hiding place for the United States **and other high-level** in the event of a nuclear war, capable of defending against conventional chemical biological and even nuclear attacks. Weeser Hill is almost a self-sufficient city, with a well-equipped hospital, dining area, sleeping quarters, water supply, power station, and a radio and television studio.
Although this place has been in operation for more than 60 years, the public knows very little about it. It wasn't until 1974, when a flight crashed nearby, that people first became aware of the existence of this place. At that time, even many of the Federation** became aware of the existence of this place for the first time. The Mount Weser top-secret project was briefly activated during the Twin Towers in 2001 and by federal officials in 2015 during a massive power outage in Washington, D.C.
5th place: Yamantau Mountain.
Located in the southern part of the Ural Mountains, Mount Yamantau is a vast and mysterious mountain in the Russian territory. The mountain range is vast, and there are many lesser-known places hidden between the mountains, and Mount Yamantau is one of them. It is said that there is a complex in the southern part of the Yamantau Mountains, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. There are various speculations about this place, some believe that it may be a refuge for Russian leaders in the event of a nuclear war, or it may also be a nuclear ** base. With an average altitude of around 1,300-1,400 meters and a peak of 1,640 meters, the Yamantau Mountains, known as the "** Mountain", is the pinnacle of the South Urals. There are many rumors about the secret of this mountain, which is very imaginable.
4th Place: Global Seed Bank.
Nestled deep in the icy mountains between Norway and the Arctic Circle, the Svalbard Global Seed Bank is a place to protect resources vital to the future of civilization. It's not so much a building as an important "safe" with millions of different food crop seeds. The importance of this seed bank lies in its ability to protect these seeds from loss, even in the event of a large-scale regional or global crisis. Located inside the Sandstone Mountains with advanced security systems, this facility is managed by the Nordic Centre for Genetic Resources. With more than 880,000 seed samples in the Svalbard Global Seed Stock, seeds from around the world cover the importance of crop diversity. Spittsbergen Island was chosen for this facility because there is no crustal activity, there is permafrost that keeps it dry even when the ice sheet melts, and it is relatively safe at an altitude of 130 meters. This seemingly inconspicuous structure plays a key role in human food security.
3rd place: Kapustin Yar Range.
Located in Volgograd in southern Russia, about 100 kilometers to the east, the Kapustin Yar Range is one of Russia's most important and mysterious military bases. Founded on May 13, 1946, the range rose rapidly after the end of World War II, using resources and technology from Nazi Germany. The Kapustin Yar range became the central unit of Soviet missile research, carrying out numerous test launches, including the launch of satellites and space rockets. There are also two small towns close to the range, the towns of Znamensk and Kapustin Yar. Despite the base's size, it wasn't until 10 years later that other countries began to realize its existence. The Kapustin Yar range is known as the Russian Roswell because of its mystery, and there are conspiracy theorists who believe that all the evidence of extraterrestrial life was sent here. While this is just speculation, there may be more unknown secrets hidden in this base.
2nd place: Room 39.
Room 39, also known as the 39th Residence of the Workers' Party of Korea, is one of the most mysterious places in North Korea. Founded in 1979, little is known about the exact location of the body, and it has had three leaders over the past few decades: Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un. In recent years, with the defection of high-ranking North Korean diplomats, secrets about Room 39 have gradually become **. This institution plays an important economic support role in the North Korean regime, controlling the most lucrative businesses and the best businesses in North Korea, both inside and outside the country. It is alleged that Room 39 is involved in the manufacture of counterfeit currency, the sale of medicines, the sale of counterfeit cigarettes and clandestine sales, and even the export of arms. This agency earns hundreds of millions of dollars a year for North Korea, and one of its most well-known businesses is the printing of counterfeit dollar banknotes with high imitation, even through general commercial money detectors, and is considered one of the most counterfeit banknotes in the world.
1st place: Vatican Confidential Archives.
100 help plan
The Vatican Confidential Archives, also known as the Vatican Pontifical Archives, is the papal archival institution located within the Vatican walls. This archive houses a wide range of papal and ecclesiastical documents from the 4th century to the present day, such as letters, treaties, trial records, diaries, etc., documenting key political, cultural, religious, and scientific events in Europe and around the world. Although access to these archives had long been extremely restricted, with only a very small number of specially licensed scholars allowed access, in 1920 a Russian professor, Vodwig, was granted access. In the course of his research, he stumbled upon some incredible content, including records of how extraterrestrial civilizations influenced the history of ancient Egypt, the Maya, and Sumerians, and how these civilizations invented writing systems. As shocking as these findings were, Professor Waldwig was unable to bring the documents out. However, this serendipitous discovery has sparked speculation about whether the secret Vatican archives contain truths about human origins, the three major religious secrets, supernatural phenomena and historical events. However, these are just speculations, as the documents are barely accessible to the average person, making the Vatican's Classified Archives known as "one of the most mysterious archives in the world."
