Based on anthropological and genetic evidence, scientists generally agree that most indigenous peoples of the Americas descend from people who migrated from Siberia across the Bering Strait, between 17,000–11,000 years ago.
The exact epoch and route is still a matter of controversy, as is whether it happened at all. Until recently there was a consensus among anthropologists that the alleged migrants crossed the strait 12,000 years ago via the Bering Land Bridge which existed during the last ice age (which occurred 26,000 to 11,000 years ago), and that they followed an inland route through Alaska and Canada that had just been freed of its ice cover. There are a number of difficulties in this theory — in particular, growing evidence of human presence in Brazil and Chile 11,500 years ago or earlier [1]. Thus other possibilities, not necessarily exclusive, have been suggested:
The migrants may have crossed the land bridge several millennia earlier and followed a coastal route, thus avoiding the ice-covered interior.
They may have been seafaring people who moved along the coast, a theory disputed due to the relative lack of seafaring skills of peoples of this time period.
The crossing of the Bering Land Bridge may have occurred during the previous ice age, around 37,000 years ago. This is also supported by the archaeology dating of some sites in South America prior to the previously assumed date of 12–14,000 years ago.

The Beast of Gévaudan (French: La bête du Gévaudan) was a creature that terrorised the general area of the former province of Gévaudan in south-central France, from about 1764 to 1767.
While a number of attacks took place, there has been debate regarding the identity of the culprit.
Various explanations were offered at the time of the attacks. They ranged from exaggerated accounts of wolf attacks, to a loup-garou (werewolf), all the way to the beast being a punishment from God, to being an unholy creature summoned by a sorcerer.
Current opinions offer up the interesting theory that the attacks were actually a serial killer, or group of serial killers, using wolf attacks to cover their own murders. Also sometimes mentioned are the theories that the beast may have been a dire wolf, a marginally larger, extinct relative of modern wolves; as well as the theory that the animal may have simply been an escaped captive exotic animal such as a hyena or lion.
Yet another theory is that the creature was a specially bred wolf-dog hybrid used for hunting, such as those bred and used by the Spanish in the 16th century.

Land was sighted at 2 AM on October 12 by a sailor aboard Pinta named Rodrigo de Triana. Columbus called the island he reached San Salvador, although the natives called it Guanahani.

Louis XVII of France was the son of King Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette, never actually reigning as king of France.
He was officially reported to have died in the prison in 1795 from what is today recognized to have been tuberculosis.
Reports, however, quickly spread that the body was not that of Louis XVII and that he had been spirited away alive, the "Lost Dauphin," by sympathizers with another child's body left in his place.
When the Bourbon monarchy was restored in 1814, hundreds of claimants came forward. Would-be royal heirs continued to pop up across Europe for decades, and some of their descendants still have small but loyal retinues of followers today. Popular candidates for the Lost Dauphin included John James Audubon, the naturalist; Eleazer Williams, a missionary from Wisconsin of Mohawk Native American descent; and Karl Wilhelm Naundorff, a German clockmaker.

Lourdes is the largest Catholic religion pilgrimage location in France.
It is said that in February 1858 the Virgin Mary appeared to a 14-year-old girl called Bernadette Soubirous (now St. Bernadette) in the remote Grotto of Massabielle. A statue of the Madonna of Lourdes was erected at the site in 1864. Soon the previous chapel structure was replaced with a pilgrimage basilica. Bernadette Soubirous entered the Monastery of Nevers in 1866 and was canonized a Saint in 1933.

In 1243-1244 - the Cathars - a mysterious heretical sect were besieged at Montségur by ten thousand Royal Catholic French troops. In March of 1244, the Cathars finally surrendered and approximately 220 were burned en masse in a bonfire at the foot of the pog when they not only refused to convert to Catholicism, but actually took the ultimate Cathar vow of consolamentum perfecti just before surrendering.
In the days prior to the fall of the fortress, several Cathars allegedly slipped through the French lines carrying away a mysterious "treasure" with them. While the nature and fate of this treasure has never been identified there has been much speculation as to what it might have consisted of: from the treasury of the Cathar Church to esoteric books or even the actual Holy Grail.

The cause of Napoleon's death has been disputed on numerous occasions, and the controversy remains to this day. Francesco Antommarchi, Napoleon's personal physician, gave stomach cancer as a reason for Napoleon's death in his death certificate.
In 1955, the diaries of Louis Marchand, Napoléon's valet, appeared in print. He describes Napoléon in the months leading up to his death, and led many, most notably Sten Forshufvud and Ben Weider, to conclude that he had been killed by arsenic poisoning. Arsenic was at the time sometimes used as a poison as it was undetectable when administered over a long period of time. Arsenic was also used in some wallpaper, as a green pigment, and even in some patent medicines. It would also help to explain the reported preservation of his corpse. In 2001, Pascal Kintz, of the Strasbourg Forensic Institute in France, added credence to this claim with a study of arsenic levels found in a lock of Napoleon's hair preserved after his death: they were seven to thirty-eight times higher than normal.

The Kensington Stone, discovered in Kensington, Minnesota in 1898 contains an inscription describing an expedition of Norsemen into the interior of what is now North America. It's estimated that this expedition took place in the 1300s.
Nostradamus, (December 14, 1503 – July 1, 1566) born Michel de Nostredame, is one of the world's most famous authors of prophecies. He is most famous for his book Les Propheties, which consists of rhymed quatrains (4?line poems) grouped into sets of 100, called Centuries.
Nostradamus enthusiasts have credited him with predicting a copious number of events in world history, including the French Revolution, the atom bomb, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Detractors, however, see such predictions as examples of vaticinium ex eventu, retroactive clairvoyance and selective thinking, which find non-existent patterns in ambiguous statements. Because of this, it has been claimed that Nostradamus is "100% accurate at predicting events after they happen".

According to medieval legend, Pope Joan was a female pope who reigned from 855 to 858.
Pope Joan is regarded by historians as an invention, possibly originating as an anti-papal satire which gained a degree of plausibility due to certain genuine elements related in the story.

Near Parahyba, Brazil, an inscription on Phoenician has been translated, in part, as: "We are sons of Canaan from Sidon, the city of the king. Commerce has cast us on this distant shore, a land of mountains. We set [sacrificed] a youth for the exalted gods and goddesses in the nineteenth year of Hiram, our mighty king. We embarked from Ezion-Geber into the Red Sea and voyaged with ten ships. We were at sea together for two years around the land belonging to Ham [Africa] but were separated by a storm [lit. 'from the hand of Baal'], and we were no longer with our companions. So we have come here, twelve men and three women, on a... shore which I, the Admiral, control. But auspiciously may the gods and goddesses favor us!"

In 1933, at Toluca Valley (72 kilometres west of Mexico City), a small ceramic head, depicting a bearded European face, was found. Termed the "Calixtlahuaca Head," it was found in a cement floor in a building that was abandoned in 1510, nine years before Spaniards arrived. In 1961, Austrian anthropologist Robert Heine-Geldern studied the head, declaring that it fit Roman schools of art from the 2nd Century AD. In 1999 thermoluminescence (TL) tests were carried out on a small ceramic head, dating it to some time between 870 BC and 1270 AD - thus, although not proving it came from the Roman era, proving it was pre-colonial.

In 1975, two intact amphorae were recovered from the bottom of Guanabara Bay, 15 kilometers from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Six years later, archeologist Robert Marx discovered thousands of pottery fragments in the same locality, including 200 necks from amphorae. The amphorae have been analyzed to have been of Roman make from the 2nd Century BC. Additionally, Guanabara Bay has been known locally as the "Bay of Jars" since at least the 18th century, suggesting that amphorae have been discovered there since at least then.

The Roswell UFO incident is a purported crash of an unidentified flying object (UFO) in Roswell, New Mexico, USA. Many books and a number of TV movies have been made concerning the incident, some fictionalized and some more reality-based.
Whether the events that took place in Roswell include the crash of an extraterrestrial craft is a matter of considerable dispute.

A mixed crew of Highland Scots (Clan Sinclair & Clan Gunn) and Scottish Knights Templar were listed among the crew of Henry Sinclair's (Earl of the Orkneys) purported voyage from Scotland to North America in 1398. Sinclair held titles to lands in Scotland, and to islands belonging to the Norse. Fluent in Gaelic, Norse and Latin, Sinclair gained knowledge of the Viking voyages to the New World and set out to expand his dominion. Possible evidence of the voyage is preserved by the purported grave of a Scottish Knight found in Westford, Massachusetts. The "Westford Knight" reputedly lies below what some claim is an inscribed stone effigy of a knight bearing the arms of Clan Gunn upon his shield, which may add creedence to the La Merika theory, and it has been connected to what some interpret as images of American flora in the Rosslyn Chapel (which was built pre-Columbus). The "Westford Knight" image is far from clear, and it is probable most of its features formed naturally, rather than by human hand. The theory continues that the Scottish Templars shared information of the voyage with their Portuguese brethren, and that the knowledge found its way to Columbus' Portuguese navigators.

The Shroud of Turin (or Turin Shroud) is a linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have been physically traumatized in a manner consistent with crucifixion. It is presently kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, Italy. Some believe it is the cloth that covered Jesus when he was placed in his tomb and that his image was somehow recorded on its fibers at or near the time of his imputed resurrection. Skeptics contend the shroud is a medieval hoax or forgery - or even a devotional work of artistic verisimilitude. It is the subject of intense debate among some scientists, believers, historians and writers regarding where, when and how the shroud and its images were created.

The Man in the Iron Mask was a prisoner believed to have been held in the Bastille prison from an unknown date to his death on November 19, 1703. The identity of this man has been thoroughly discussed, mainly because no one ever saw his face as it was hidden by a black velvet mask, which later re-tellings of the story have said to have been an iron mask.

L'Anse aux Meadows is the only authenticated Viking settlement in North America (outside of Greenland), it was the site of a multi-year archaeological dig that found dwellings, tools and implements that verified its time frame. The settlement, dating more than 500 years before Christopher Columbus, contains the earliest European structures in North America. It is believed to be the semi-legendary 'Vinland' settlement of explorer Leif Ericson around 1000 AD.
The assassination of John F. Kennedy, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 PM Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding in a presidential motorcade within Dealey Plaza. Two official investigations have concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza, was the assassin, with one government investigation concluding that Oswald acted alone and another concluding that he probably acted with at least one other person. The assassination is still the subject of widespread speculation, and has spawned a number of conspiracy theories.

Kaspar Hauser (April 30?, 1812–December 17, 1833) was a mysterious foundling in 19th century Germany with alleged ties to the royal house of Baden.
In 2002 however, the Institute for Forensic Medicine of the University of Münster analyzed hair and body cells that were also alleged to belong to Kaspar Hauser. The DNA evidence would seem to argue that Kaspar Hauser was indeed a descendant of the House of Baden.

Around one hundred and fifty years after William Shakespeare's death in 1616, doubts began to be expressed by some about the authorship of the plays and poetry attributed to him. The term Shakespeare authorship normally refers to the debates inspired by these doubters, although it can also refer to less contentious academic debates about what exactly Shakespeare wrote in the collaborative world of the Elizabethan theatre.

The modern reputation of Rennes-le-Château rises from rumours concerning the local priest in the late nineteenth century, Bérenger Saunière, who was alleged to have mysteriously acquired and spent large sums of money. He was even said to have visited several heads of state, though there is no evidence for this whatsoever. These rumours were given wide local circulation in the 1950s by Noel Corbu, a local man who had opened a restaurant in Saunière's former estate. He probably hoped to increase his business. They moved from local to national importance when they were incorporated by Pierre Plantard into his mythology of the Priory of Sion, which influenced the authors of the popular 1982 book Holy Blood, Holy Grail.
From this point on Rennes-le-Château became the centre of conspiracy theories claiming that Saunière uncovered hidden treasure and/or secrets about the history of the Church that threatened the foundations of Catholicism. Since the mid-1950s, the area has become the focus of increasingly sensational claims involving the Knights Templar, the Priory of Sion, the Rex Deus, the Holy Grail, the treasures of the Temple of Solomon, the Ark of the Covenant, ley lines, geometric alignments, and others. Elements of these ideas were later incorporated into Umberto Eco's 1989 novel Foucault's Pendulum, Dan Brown's bestselling 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code, and computer game Gabriel Knight III.
