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:

More 90+ Stunning Facts Unknown Until Just Recently Videos

We've all been there: You’re using your phone, and you're just about to click on something on a website when you see a pop-up. The message reads: “You’ve just won a $1,000 gift card, click here to redeem your prize”. When you proceed, it says you must answer 3 questions. But why are you seeing it, and what happens when you decide to continue? How safe is it? Do you know why do smartphones have multiple cameras? Or what to do if your smartphone's battery is swollen. Have you ever wondered why phone charging cords seem so short? iPhone cables are usually about 3 feet long. Other companies make cords up to 5 feet, while some aftermarket cables can be 6.5 feet long. Btw, while you’re watching the Bright Side video, you might notice that your phone screen comes on for no reason. So, how about trying to figure that all out? #brightside EPISODES:

More Why Phone Cords Are So Short And Other Why-s Finally Answered Videos

Lost in the woods. I’d never thought it would happen to me, but here I was, standing all alone in the grove not far from my home, watching the last rays of the sun disappearing. And as they fell on the ground beneath my feet, I saw something that made my heart jump to my throat and stay there. Fingers. Five of them, black and gnarled, with bluish-gray nails, poking from underneath some stump nearby. I couldn’t scream, but thankfully, my legs turned me around and carried me out of the woods. I didn’t care where I’d end up, I just needed to get away. Luckily, by some wild chance, I ran in the correct direction, and soon saw the opening in the trees and a familiar glade. In some 15 minutes, I was home, still shaking. I took a cup of tea and turned on my phone to search for answers if there were any. It didn’t take me long to realize, with relief, that what I saw was Xylaria polymorpha — a species of mushrooms otherwise known as Dead Man’s Fingers. By the way, it turned out there are many weird and scary plants in the world. Here's a compilation of the spookiest ones. #brightside EPISODES:

More If You Find Man’s Fingers, Don’t Panic But Stay Away Videos

While most of these bizarre creatures are harmless to humans, there are species that can be really dangerous. Some lizards are, in fact, venomous, and some are quite aggressive. For example, the Gila Monster can latch on the intruder's leg or arm at lightning speed and hold on with immense force. And even though the animal doesn't have fangs, it knows how to deliver its venom! Or have you ever heard of the alligator snapping turtle? It's the largest freshwater turtle – and one of the most vicious! This bizarre looking reptile has a cone covered shell and a mighty beak. It can snap a broom handle in half in no time. A 16-year-old monster of a turtle at the Chicago Aquarium weighed 250 lbs, like a giant panda – only less cuddly! So if you like to learn cool facts about animals, be sure to look at the world’s most dangerous reptiles. #brightside EPISODES:

More 23 Largest Reptiles You Should Keep Far Away From Videos

What's the most savory and spiciest food? Well, first of all, do you know what the Scoville Scale and Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) are? They were named for scientist Wilbur Scoville in 1912 for measuring a chili pepper’s pungency and heat. For example, sweet bell pepper is called so by no chance: it’s the most innocent of the pepper family. It has zero Scoville Heat Units. Pimento pepper is otherwise called cherry pepper. It’s sweet and only mildly spicy, measuring only 500 Scoville Units on the Scoville Scale. There are 79 different varieties of Thai pepper, but all of them range from 50,000 to 100,000 on the Scoville rating. The hot and mighty Carolina Reaper — the absolute champion of hot peppers. It’s a current record-holder for being the spiciest pepper in the world. Measuring at almost 2.2 million Scovilles, this pepper would probably burn your tongue through. But it's still not the hottest spice! #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
