006: The Mountain of Madness
Manage episode 162439992 series 1243449
Mysteries are a rarity in our world. What used to be unexplainable is now quickly answered by the modern marvels of technology and science. So when a new mystery appears, we drive ourselves crazy searching for an explanation, haunted by what we can’t explain.
One modern mystery is reasoning behind the strange events that took place on a Siberian mountain in 1959, in which a group of experienced hikers were found dead in bizarre circumstances. Since the day of the discovery, many have been tormented by one simple question: What happened on Dyatlov Pass?
Was it a Yeti, an avalanche, a top secret military test gone horribly wrong that killed the group? Or was it something simply incomprehensible to modern listeners– an ill-fated encounter with goddesses and myths of old?
Episode Highlights:
- Dyatlov Pass Incident: Ski Tourists in Siberia
- The search begins
- First disturbing discoveries
- Nine sets of footprints in the snow
- Charred and frozen bodies
- Conflicting and confusing evidence
- Timeline of events: What went wrong?
- Theories and speculations
- Spheres of light in ancient lands
