Mysteries in History: Solving the Mysteries of the Past

There are certain events and monuments that baffle historians and archaeologists despite years of study. Sites like Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, and the pyramids and events involving the Aztecs, Pompeii, and the great city of Rome have left experts with unanswered questions.
