5 Unexplained Discoveries

It is somewhat difficult and a bit troubling for some to live in a world where science can explain just about anything thrown at it.

In the 1930s, a young American girl was on vacation with her family in the Copper Canyon region of Mexico. She was off exploring the area when she came across an abandoned mining tunnel. Inside the tunnel she found a full human skeleton. Next to the skeleton was a mound of dirt. Sticking out of the dirt and wrapped around the arm of the other skeleton was a human arm bone.
