Guanajuato mummies are world famous for its terrifying looks. It actually is a collection of hundreds of mummies which were mummified naturally during late 19th century. In 1850s a worldwide cholera outbreak caused thousands of deaths and soon  underground cemeteries in Guanjato were running out of space to accommodate bodies. So the authorities had to build walled crypts above ground and in this warm arid environment bodies started a natural mummification process.

Egyptians believed that cats are magical creatures that brings good luck to their households and they honored these pets by dressing them in jewels and mummifying once dead. Cats were considered as the embodiment of the spirit of the goddess Bastet and in the battle of Pelusium in 525BC Persians used images of cats in their shields so that egyptians would be reluctant to attack. This strategy worked marking the end of the first major battle between the Achaemenid empire and Egypt. It is said that cats were brought to Europe by Romans and up to this date we all adore these purring fur balls.

She was unable to stop herself from dancing and within few days 33 others accompanied her as well. Within a month the number of nonstop dancers reached 400 and authorities were alarmed. The only explanation they could come up with was demonic possession and hot blood and they arranged two guildhalls and musicians to facilitate dancers. Many dancers collapsed from exhaustion and some people died from heart attacks and strokes. By September the remaining dancers were sent to a mountaintop shrine to pray for absolution.

PC: Sharyn Morrow The book nobody can read, worlds weirdest book, Codex Seraphinianus is an encyclopedia about an imaginary world written in a language nobody can read. It has over thousands of drawings and explanations about a world which probably doesn't exist. This 360 page book was published in 1981 by an Italian architect named Luigi Serafini and for 39 years the mystery is still unsolved. The author however says there is no mystery, he just wanted to convey the feeling children get when they look at books which they can't read. However the books number system was decoded by Allan C. Wechsler and Bulgarian Linguist Ivan Derzhanski. So the alphabet also might be a real one after all.
