What are some mysteries or conspiracy theories you have always wondered about?
What are some mysteries or conspiracy theories you have always wondered about?

This is a detailed list of all the questions I have always wanted to know, and for the most part, I will never know the answers within this life. I am not a conspiracy theorist (or at least not much of one), but there have been some big conspiracies, or just unsolved mysteries I have always been deeply interested in knowing.

I love history, so some of these questions might be a little left-field, so I will apply as much context as possible. I will include links to the more obscure questions.If there are some questions you have always wondered, please let everyone know in the comment section below. Remember, this is just like elementary school, there are no stupid questions.
