Mysteries of the Modern World: Unsolved Mysteries from Modern History

Sometimes strange things happen. Things we can't explain...

The modern world has amazing inventions like drones, cell phones, and virtual reality, but even the internet can't answer every question. In these thirteen stories told by historian and author E.B. Wheeler, you'll travel around the world to examine baffling modern mysteries. Look for a lost room made of gemstones and a train filled with gold. Uncover secrets hidden in pyramids and beneath oceans. Hunt for lost soldiers and vanished pilots. Along the way, you'll encounter spies, adventurers, and maybe a UFO.
