I think it would be the question:
" Who/What is God?" or even "Does God exist?" for some people.

Everyone has been wondering, thinking, worshiping and writing about it . Thousands of questions such as what does he/she/it looks like, good/evil, hell/heaven etc have been thriving in the minds of people since a long long time. And how do you solve it?

Was Jesus really crucified on a cross, and did he really come back to life three days later? Inquiring Mindbogglers want to know.

it should be noted that every book that refers to the life, death, and new life of Jesus are based on faith. There have been no historical documents that have been found that prove the existence of Jesus.

While the Resurrection is clearly a mighty mystery, the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth is widely documented (in writing), by at least 4 people commonly read (think authors of the 4 Christian Gospels). Here are some history (vs religious) links to support this:

There are many. However, one of my kids is doing a project - and a costume - on this historical pioneer. The events surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, while she was attempting to circumnavigate the globe remain fascinating to may history buffs. She was an early aviation pioneer and the first female pilot to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo, the first person to do it twice - once with a team of two other pilots and a second time solo and she was a celebrity during her aviation career.

Some say she survived the crash of her plane in the Pacific in 1937 and perhaps lived out her years on an island. In my opinion, is one of the world great unsolved mysteries. Even with modern technology, no evidence of her plane or any other hints of her fate have been confirmed.

She was a true pioneer and a very interesting person. Based on the most recent investigations, research may indicate the she and her navigator crash landed near a remote island, the plane broke up but they may have survived and lived for a short time as castaways.

I was supposed to give the same answer... I've always wondered what happened to her. Since I was a child, I've dreamed of becoming a pilot so when I knew her story, I got pretty interested and up until now, I'm wondering what could have happened? Where is she? Is she still alive somewhere?

I'm still hoping that one day we'll get an answer on what happened to her.

Essentially, the first mystery is whether the universe is the product of the evolution of matter or has been created by a higher subjective force or God. This mystery is precisely the fundamental problem of philosophy. Science is committed to the matter and religion by force divine.

There are several I can think of off the top of my head but these really stick out to me personally. I'm sorry for the length but believe it or not, I actually cut it down!

Dyatlov Pass incident

Nine experienced cross-country skiers hurriedly left their tent on a Urals slope in the middle of the night, casting aside skis, food and their warm coats. Clad in their sleepwear, the young people dashed headlong down a snowy slope toward a thick forest, where they stood no chance of surviving bitter temperatures of around minus 30 degrees Celsius. Baffled investigators said the group died as a result of “a compelling unknown force” — and then abruptly closed the case and filed it as top secret...Sharavin found the first two bodies at the edge of the forest, under a towering pine tree. The two — Georgy Krivonischenko, 24, and Yury Doroshenko, 21, were barefoot and dressed in their underclothes. Charred remains of a fire lay nearby. The branches on the tree were broken up to five meters high, suggesting that a skier had climbed up to look for something, perhaps the camp, Sharavin said. Broken branches also were scattered on the snow. The next three bodies — Dyatlov, Zina Kolmogorova, 22, and Rustem Slobodin, 23 — were found between the tree and the camp. The way the bodies were lying indicated that the three had been trying to return to the camp. The authorities immediately opened a criminal investigation, but autopsies failed to find evidence of foul play. Doctors said the five had died of hypothermia. Slobodin’s skull was fractured, but the injury was not considered fatal. It took two months to locate the remaining skiers. Their bodies were found buried under four meters of snow in a forest ravine, 75 meters away from the pine tree. The four — Nicolas Thibeaux-Brignollel, 24, Ludmila Dubinina, 21, Alexander Zolotaryov, 37, and Alexander Kolevatov, 25 — appeared to have suffered traumatic deaths. Thibeaux-Brignollel’s skull had been crushed, and Dubunina and Zolotarev had numerous broken ribs. Dubinina also had no tongue. The bodies, however, showed no external wounds. The four were better dressed than the rest, and those who had died first had apparently relinquished their clothes to the others. Zolotaryov was wearing Dubinina’s faux fur coat and hat, while Dubinina’s foot was wrapped in a piece of Krivonishenko’s wool pants. Deepening the mystery, a test of the clothes found they contained high levels of radiation.

The Lead Masks Case

The Lead Masks Case refers to the discovery of the bodies of two electronic technicians in Brazil in 1966. The bodies were found in a field wearing impermeable coats and lead masks (usually used to protect against radiation – pictured above). Even stranger was the discovery of a small notebook beside the bodies with signs and numbers, and a letter in which was written: “16:30 be at the agreed place. 18:30 swallow capsules, after effect protect metals wait for the mask sign”. A waitress who was the last to see them alive said that one of them looked very nervous and kept glancing at his watch. There were no obvious injuries on the bodies. Gracinda Barbosa Cortino de Souza and her children, who lived next to the hill where the men died, claimed that they had seen a UFO flying over the spot at the exact moment the detectives believed the two men must have died.

The Grinning Man

The Grinning Man is a mysterious man who has been sighted during heightened UFO encounters as well as during the 1960s Mothman sightings. Two young eyewitnesses said he turned and looked at them with a permanent grin on his face. According to the men who interviewed the boys: “the man was over six feet tall, they agreed, and was dressed in a sparkling green coverall costume that shimmered and seemed to reflect the street lights. There was a wide black belt around his waist.” The boys also said “He had a very dark complexion, and little round eyes…real beady…set far apart.” The most frightening and bizarre aspect of the encounter is the fact that “They could not remember seeing any hair, ears, or nose on this figure.” During the Mothman sightings, the grinning man is said to have telepathically told a witness that his name was “Indrid Cold”.

Taman Shud Case

In 1948 the body of a man was found on Somerton beach in Adelaide, Australia. The man was never identified. Police found a suitcase which they believed was his containing clothing in which all but three items had their name tags removed. The name on the remaining items pointed them to a man who was later identified as not being the dead man. A small note in the man’s pocket said “taman shud” which is the last line of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. It had been cut from a book. A doctor seeing the note on the TV contacted police to say that the book had appeared in the backseat of his unlocked car. It was the copy that had had the note removed. In the back of the book were coded markings which have not been able to be deciphered as yet:
MRGOABABD

MTBIMPANETP

MLIABOAIAQC

ITTMTSAMSTGAB
A name in the front of the book led police to a woman who said she had given it to a man named Boxall during the Second World War. Upon seeing a plaster cast of the dead man she identified him as Boxall. This appeared to solve the mystery of who the man was, until Boxall was discovered alive with his copy of the book undamaged. Coincidentally the woman who identified the man lived in Glenelg – the last town visited by the dead man before he travelled by bus to his final destination. The woman asked police not to record her name as she was married and wanted to avoid scandal – they foolishly complied and her identity is now also unknown. This is considered to be one of Australia’s most profound mysteries.

Also, the Cindy James case has always fascinated me personally, so I included two videos about it.
