At its peak the Khmer Empire controlled most of Southeast Asia and built Angkor Wat — the largest religious complex ever constructed — along with hundreds of other temples across the region.

Then around 1431 AD the capital was abandoned overnight.

The jungle swallowed everything within decades.

Nobody fully knows why.

The Great Pyramid has a second entrance on its north face that differs from the main tourist entrance used today.

Ancient Egyptian texts suggest certain passages were restricted to priests performing specific rituals connected to the pharaoh's journey to the afterlife.

Some corridors may have never been intended for human entry at all.

In 1324 Mansa Musa of the Mali Empire made a pilgrimage to Mecca with 60,000 people and 27 tonnes of gold.

He gave so much away along the route that he crashed the Egyptian economy for 12 years.

He was the wealthiest human being who ever lived.

Most history books give him one paragraph.

Two shafts inside the Great Pyramid were blocked by small stone doors fitted with copper handles — discovered by a robot camera in 1993.

A second robot drilled through one door in 2002 and found another door directly behind it.

The copper handles have not been touched in 4,500 years.

Nobody has opened them.

Around 1200 BC the Bronze Age city of Akrotiri on the Greek island of Santorini was abandoned in a single night.

Residents left food on tables, tools in workshops and valuables in chests.

No bodies were ever found — meaning everyone escaped.

But nobody knows where they went or why they never came back.

When Howard Carter and archaeologists entered the Great Pyramid's passages in the modern era they found something unexpected left behind by medieval tomb robbers.

Soot marks on the ceiling from their torches. Still visible after 1,000 years.

Someone broke in, walked those same corridors and left without finding what they came for.

The Lycurgus Cup is a 1,700-year-old Roman glass goblet that appears jade green in reflected light and glows blood red when light shines through it.

Scientists analysed it in 1990 and found gold and silver nanoparticles embedded in the glass measuring just 50 nanometres across.

Romans were using nanotechnology in 300 AD.

Analysis of Egyptian mummies has revealed traces of pine resin, juniper oil, beeswax, animal fat and bitumen applied in precise combinations that prevent bacterial decay.

Modern scientists only identified why these specific combinations work in the 20th century.

The ancient Egyptians figured it out 3,500 years earlier by trial and error.

Multiply the height of the Great Pyramid by 43,200 and you get the polar radius of the Earth.

Multiply its base perimeter by 43,200 and you get the equatorial circumference of the Earth.

The number 43,200 is derived from the Earth's rate of precession.

Built 4,500 years ago with no satellites and no global surveys.

In 1483 twelve-year-old King Edward V and his nine-year-old brother Richard were escorted into the Tower of London by their uncle Richard III.

They were never seen again.

No bodies were ever officially identified. No confession was ever made. No ex*****on was ever recorded.

Two royal children simply ceased to exist.
