One of the biggest mysteries in history is the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt. Who was the lion with a human head? How did the ancient Egyptians manage to construct this huge statue? They kept no records, and perhaps they didn’t want us to know, since many attempts to study the Sphinx result in mysterious accidents. But do you know that there are a lot of really weird monuments around the world? Have you ever heard of a monument to the alien Alyosha? It's the number 1 tourist attraction in Russia’s “Molebka’s Anomalous Zone”. Or do you know anything about a giant hand in Chile's Atacama desert? Human helplessness, vulnerability, or the spirit that wins over anything – everyone sees the statue their own way and no one knows why it was placed in such a remote location. So among the many traditional monuments, you can find in almost any town or city in the world, there are those whose sculptors appear to have departed completely from convention. Let's look at the strangest of them. #brightside EPISODES:
