20 of the Most Unexplainable Events in History

If you go back far enough in history, answers are few and far between, if only because so little of it was documented. Like, a fish just walked out of the ocean one day, you say? And the land that it walked onto eventually split and drifted entire oceans apart? And it eventually became a man who came up with the idea of a codpiece, and everybody was just okay with that? Sure. Whatever you say.

But there are some events throughout history that, even if we have much of the facts, still don’t make much sense. We’re not talking about the mysteries of time some wild-haired guy on the History Channel might rave about — the Roanoke colony didn’t mysteriously disappear, and there never was anything weird about the Bermuda triangle. No, when user throwaway-adnauseum asked r/AskReddit, “What is the most puzzling unexplained event in world history?” they got some real stumpers.
