There are countless beautiful destinations to visit around the world. But some places are either too dangerous, too protected or too mysterious to explore.

many places around the world, from man-made buildings and structures to natural habitats containing dangerous species, religious mysteries and secrets, prohibit outsiders from entering these areas.

1. French Red Zone

Not all scenes in France are made up of rolling green hills, which are full of beautiful villages. In fact, there is a wasteland that has been banned for nearly a century. In an area near Verdun, there is a virgin forest called Rouge District (also known as Red Zone). No one lives there, nothing is built there, and it is actually forbidden to enter.

Before World War I, Verdun was mainly farmland. After millions of shells were fired, the area changed rapidly during the war. The ground was stirred, trees were shattered and towns were destroyed by explosives. The war ended in 1918 and the village became a victim of the war.

The French government considered the cost of land restoration, but finally decided to relocate the local villagers. All the shells and ammunition were left in this area, which is considered as the rouge area.

the area of 1,19 square kilometers (46 miles) is still strictly forbidden for public access and agricultural use. The authorities are clearing the land. However, at the current rate, many people think it may take 3 to 7 years to complete, or it may never be completely removed.

9. Fort Knox, Kentucky

One of the best-preserved mysteries in the United States is located 48 kilometers (3 miles) southwest of Louisville. The American gold and silver depository (also known as Fort Knox) is full of glittering gold bricks. .. we think. Few people entered the "golden fortress", leaving many unresolved questions about the location.

The construction of Fort Knox was completed in 1936. It is located on a 19,-acre US Army post. At that time, gold was transported by train driven by machine gunners. Then it was loaded onto a military truck protected by the American cavalry brigade. [2]

It needs to be clear that technically speaking, Fort Knox (US Army post) is adjacent to the US gold and silver depository. But the word "Fort Knox" is often used to refer to the vault building.

The US Constitution and Bill of Rights are both stored there in a short time. According to U.S. government data, the U.S. gold and silver depository holds nearly 4,582 metric tons of gold, worth more than $175 billion. The facility has one of the most advanced security systems known. What happened there is mainly a secret, which is the origin of the phrase "as safe as Fort Knox".

8. North Sentinel Island

It is incredible that there are still "untouched" indigenous groups, which means that they have no connection with modern civilization. The sentinels of North Sentinel Island are one of the few untouched tribes.

In 1991, an external expedition from India floated coconuts in the water and sailed to the island where Thienel people, known for their hostility to foreigners, lived. On two such trips, an Indian team got in touch. Sentinelese want strange coconuts, but they don't really welcome outsiders. [3]

It is estimated that there are about 8-15 people living on the island, and their language is unknown to outsiders. People know little about this tribe, which is a mystery to many people. But we do know that they don't care much about the company.

In 218, an American missionary tried to contact the people of Sentinelese, but was quickly shot with a bow and arrow. The organization has made it clear for years that they are not interested in making new friends.

In 1896, a criminal from the criminal colony of Great Andaman Island escaped on a temporary raft and was finally washed up on North Sentinel Island. A few days later, his body was found with his throat cut and several arrow wounds. Obviously, Sentinelese doesn't want any contact, so it's better to leave.

7. The Ark of the Covenant Church One of the most popular cultural relics in the Ethiopian Bible is the Ark of the Covenant. This legendary object was built about 3 years ago to store stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. After the Babylonian Empire conquered Israel, the ark disappeared from history. No one really knows whether it was destroyed, captured or hidden.

according to Ethiopian legend, the ark of the Covenant is located in St. Mary's Cathedral in Zion (also known as Ark Church) in aksum. Only one person is allowed to see the ark in the church. He is a monk and acts as the guardian of the artifact.

Although some reports claim that the aksum object is only a replica of the Ark, no one else is even allowed to enter the chapel to study this artifact, which makes it a forbidden place for you to visit.

6. Snake Island

About 15 kilometers (93 miles) south of downtown S? o Paulo is Ilha da Queimada Grande, also known as Snake Island. The island is about 4 kilometers (25 miles) off the coast of Brazil, and humans are forbidden to enter the island. Snake Island gets its name from all kinds of snakes lurking on the island. Researchers believe that there is a deadly snake every .9 square meter (1 foot 2) on the island.

The island is home to tuna, which is a unique pit viper and is called one of the deadliest snakes in the world. They can grow to more than .5 meters (1.5 feet) long, and it is estimated that 2, to 4, of these deadly snakes occupy the island.

The long spear is so toxic that a person will die within one hour after being bitten. These poisonous snakes cause more deaths than any other snakes in North and South America. It's best not to let tourists into this island.

5. Mirni Diamond Mine

One of the largest manually excavated holes in the world was discovered in Mir Mine (also known as Mirny Diamond Mine). Located in eastern Siberia, this huge pit is the second Ushizo Cave in the world.

the diamond-rich deposit was discovered in 1955, and now it is over 52 meters (1,7 feet) deep and over 1,2 meters (3,9 feet) wide. Joseph Stalin ordered the mine to be built to meet the Soviet Union's demand for diamonds.

at its peak, the mine produced more than 1 million carats of diamonds every year. Open-pit mining stopped in 21, but underground mining at this site continues.

after the story about the plane being sucked in by downdraft, helicopters are forbidden to enter the airspace above the mine. But these claims have never been confirmed. However, outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter the town, so don't expect to catch a glimpse of this rough diamond.

4. Tomb of the First Qin Emperor

In the deep mountains of central China, the first emperor of this country has been lying for more than two thousand years. In 1974, some farmers accidentally discovered the secret mausoleum of Qin Shihuang while digging wells. They dug up a life-size terracotta warriors and horses, but they didn't realize that it was just one of thousands of pieces of history in the site.

Archaeologists excavated the site for nearly 4 years and found about 2, clay soldiers. However, scientists have not yet touched the central mausoleum containing the remains of Qin Shihuang.

Many people think that graves are filled with many other treasures, such as precious stones. China people are the only people allowed to enter the area, and it is up to them to decide whether anyone can enter the mysterious mausoleum.

3. Svalbard Global Seed Bank

The Svalbard Global Seed Bank is halfway between Norway and the North Pole. It is hidden deep in the mountains of a remote island in Svalbard. It is the largest seed bank in the world, with boxes of seeds that can be safely and reliably stored in cold and dry rock vaults for a long time. The treasury has tens of thousands of basic food crops and more than 4, plants.

This is a long-term seed storage facility, which is designed to resist the impact of man-made and natural disasters. The purpose of the vault is to store copies of seeds from the world crop collection. If nuclear war or global warming kills crops, countries can ask for seeds from the treasury to restart their agricultural production process.

In 218, the Norwegian government proposed to allocate 1 million Norwegian kroner (about 12.7 million US dollars) to upgrade the seed bank to help protect the genetic material contained in it.

2. Bohemian Woods

Every July, a group of very rich and powerful people gather in a 2,7-acre campsite in Monterio, California, for a two-week private meeting and indulge in alcoholic drinks. Who knows what else? Bohemian Grove is the name of a secret campsite belonging to a gentlemen's club called Bohemian Club.

It is rumored that the only way to join a Bohemian club is to be invited by members or to join a waiting list that has lasted for decades. There is also an entrance fee and an annual fee of $25,. [9]

At present, there are about 2,5 members, many of whom appear in the campsite to enjoy the rest time. The campsite has 118 camps, an artificial lake and a towering owl shrine. Some past and present members of this secret organization include Gerald Ford, Clint Eastwood, bing crosby, Melv Griffin, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

1. Surtsey, west of Sirte, Iceland

is a volcanic island on the southern coast of Iceland. It is one of the newest islands in the world, named after the Norse Vulcan Sirte. In 1963, it appeared in the Atlantic Ocean after a fiery eruption. The ash column was sent into the air nearly 9,2 meters (3, feet). In the nearly four years after the eruption, islands with an altitude of about 152 meters (5 feet) were built in the core of the volcano. [1]

The island is now the site of a long-term biological research project, which aims to study the colonization process of animals and plants in the new land. It was declared a nature reserve in 1965 and a world heritage site by UNESCO in 28. Surtsey is only open to the public, and it is still only open to a few scientists who study the island.
