Top ten Historical conundrums , that still puzzle experts today!!!!

10.  Atlantis- Everyone has heard of Atlantis, But did it actually exist? Sceptics would say no, I however would be very quick to remind them that up until 1879 the city of Troy was believed to be a creation of legend. There are lots of theories floating around about were Atlantis could of been, Santorini, is these days considered the most likely site.

9. Harappan Civilisation- Or the Indus valley Civilisation......The earliest Civilisation that was in India, maybe the earliest Civilisation in the World. Pioneers in Drainage and Brick building. They just disappeared and no one rightly knows why? The very few text that they did leave behind are also no help to us, as there Language is not directly related to any language on earth.....There are more people on the earth that can speak Aramaic, than there are who could speak the Harappan Language.

8. Why did Attila never attack the city of Rome?- Attila the Hun ran rampart through the Roman empire, he came within striking distance of Rome, but turned back after a meeting with the then pope Leo 1. Why?  Was he paid off? I dont think so, at that point in his life he was far richer than even the Roman emperor...... Or was it mercy for a city already falling and suffering the effects of a cataclysmic drought? Equally unlikely, but who knows?

7. Where is Genghis Khan buried?- He had over a thousand people in his funeral procession, but all were murdered or committed suicide to keep the location a secret......even the baggage horses were killed.

6. Jimmy Hoffa- One of the most powerful labour union leaders in america, A man said to of been linked with the Mob......Just disappeared. No body, no explanation. There are so many theories about what became of him, but no body know.

5. Lost Roman Legion- After The Parthians defeated the Romans at the Battle of Carrhae,new theories have it that the Parthians sold Roman POW's as slaves to the Chinese Han dynasty.....Is it true? Well we could find out in the next few years in fact. A small town near the Gobi desert called Liqian has residents that claim to be of Roman decent....Liqian actually Translates as Rome in the local dialect. I think that maybe these peoples genetic heritage is more related to the Tarim mummies(2000 year old Caucasian mummies found in china). It is interesting though.Genetic testing is currently under way.

4. Who the hell was Jack the Ripper- The first publicised serial killer and we are no closer to knowing his identity then we are to colonising space. There is a suspect list a mile wide....but who was he?.....or she?

3. The Sea Peoples- They came out of the sea in the late Bronze age, They destroyed the Hittite Empire, who were one of the two world super powers of the day. Then they fought with the Egyptians.....then they Vanished! No one knows where they came from, no one knows were they went. Were they displaced Minoan Refugees escaping the destruction of the Minoan civilisation? Or where they migrating Indo- Europeans?.........No one knows.

2. Chinese Treasure fleets- We know that Ming dynasty China did explore most of the Indian ocean, but did they reach the Americas? And did a Chinese Treasure feet reach Italy and spark off the Renaissance? Most Historians say Nay......But I think even with the little evidence there is, it does make for a compelling argument.

1. The Socratic Problem- Socrates was a real person.....But he left non of his own teachings behind in text. The only way that we know of his ideas is because of his students, students like Plato. Socrates is a common character in all of Plato's work. So here is the fine point of it. Where does Socrates' ideas end and Plato's ideas begin? Are all of Socrates' ideas really just Plato's own? or Vise Versa?
