Top 7 UNSOLVED Jungle Mysteries
7 UNSOLVED Jungle Mysteries
From missing dutch girls to uncontacted tribes to missing millionaires to strange rituals and a city of...giants? These are the top 7 Unsolved Jungle Mysteries.

Michael Clark Rockefeller was a member of one of the world's most powerful and influential families, yet rather than a career in politics or finance like his father and grandfathers, what Michael dreamt of was an adventure, an exploration of the last remaining places on earth untouched by man. But sadly it was this wanderlust which was to be his undoing, and he was to endure a gruesome fate even his rich-ass family couldn't save him from.
Many ancient myths and legends tell of giant humans who once roamed the Earth, but could such a race of people actually have existed? And if so, has the dense canvas of the jungle kept these giant humans secret?
In the 1980s a huge amount of deforestation took place across the Amazon rainforest, because if there's one thing humanity loves it's shaving Mother Nature bare. But when the trees were removed and the forest floor was exposed an interesting discovery was made; a series of ring-shaped ditches dug out of the earth, right in the middle of the jungle. Confirmed as being man-made, investigations revealed these ditches were dug a long time ago, way before the Amazon rainforest even existed.
It is estimated the Amazon contains around 100 tribes humanity is yet to formally shake hands with, but as much of the jungle is unmapped and tough to traverse this number is just an estimate, and could be much higher.
On January 13 2007 this woman emerged from the Cambodian jungle covered in filth, marked with deep scars, and completely naked, and to this day nobody knows who she is or where she came from. At first a local family claimed she was their long lost daughter Rochom P'ngieng who disappeared aged 9 in 1988 along with her sister, yet when DNA tests were arranged the family mysteriously cancelled them.

with most of the world's unexplored
areas consisting of huge patches of
jungle there is clearly much the rain
forests have to tell us many strange
things have happened
can happen and will happen under the
cover of the jungle canvas people can go
missing societies exist without anyone
knowing and mysterious creatures and
artifacts can go undetected for
centuries at a time
let's look at a few examples of just how
weird the jungle can be in this list of
the top seven jungle mysteries
number seven the missing millionaire
Michael Clark Rockefeller was a member
of one of the world's most powerful and
influential families yet rather than a
career in politics or finance like his
father and grandfathers what Michael
dreamed of was adventure and exploration
of the last remaining places on earth
and touched by man but sadly it was this
wonderlust which was to be his undoing
and he was to endura gruesome fate even
his rich ass family couldn't save him
from in nineteen sixty Rockefeller
became enchanted by the Asmat tribe of
Indonesia and he traveled to the jungle
to study them in 1961
however during a pontoon boat trip with
Dutch anthropologist running washing he
got too close to be as mad camp
the two men were thrown into the water
and Rockefeller was never seen again
various conflicting stories have been
told about what happened to the 25 year
old explorer
some believe he drowned died from
exposure
was eaten by a shark or saltwater
crocodile of the most gruesome theory
and the one with the most evidence was
that Michael Rockefeller was murdered
decapitated and eaten by the Asmat
people he was so intrigued by a private
investigator hired by the Rockefellers
reportedly acquired three skulls of
white men murdered by the tribe one of
them believed to be Michaels and some
hazmat tribesmen have been quoted as
admitting the crime of their forefathers
describing how Michael was scalped at
his face cut open his ribs broken with
an axe his sternum ripped out his arms
and legs cut off and his guts ripped
from what remained of his body
ouch sounds like that smart be more than
a sticking plaster to sort that mess out
it is then claimed the tribesmen danced
ritually while smeared in Rockefellers
blood before drinking each other's urine
having sex with each other and giving
the chief of the tribe oral pleasure to
finish the ceremony
wow that's not how I want to go
so did the Rockefeller family have the
skull DNA tested
did they discover the grisly fate of
their air
if so I can kind of understand why they
kept it a secret
at six the lost city of giants
many ancient myths and legends tell of
giant humans who once roamed the earth
but could such a race of people actually
have existed and if so as the dense
canvas of the jungle kept these giant
human secret author and researcher bruce
fenton certainly think so
after discovering what he called the
lost city of giants deep within the
Ecuadorian jungle his team discovered a
large pyramid abandoned for thousands of
years which was constructed from huge
two tons stone blocks but whilst the
pyramid itself is fascinating
it's the tools used to build it which
have drawn Fenton's curiosity huge metal
and stone tools were found scattered
around the outskirts of the pyramid site
tools of such great size that they would
be impossible for a normal-sized man to
wield most people indigenous to the area
were slim and rarely grew beyond five
feet tall
get these metal hammer heads look like
something the mountain off Game of
Thrones might use to put up a spice rack
so of giant humans really did live in
this area
what happened to them exactly how tall
were they
and might some of them survived moving
deeper into the jungle
number five the ancient amazon rings in
the nineteen eighties a huge amount of
the forest station took place across the
amazon rainforest because there's one
thing humanity loves shaving mother
nature bear
but when the trees were removed in the
forest floor was exposed and interesting
discovery was made a series of
ring-shaped ditches dug out of the earth
right in the middle of the jungle
confirmed as being man-made
investigations revealed these ditches
were dug a long time ago way before the
amazon rainforest even existed
most of the Amazon resembled a dusty
African savanna three thousand years ago
and it is believed these ditches were
part of a settlement which having been
built on open land was later enveloped
by the jungle as the Amazon began to
flourish
who lived here remains a mystery as does
the intended purpose of these ditches
defense drainage or ceremonial practices
have all been suggested but until we
explore further
we cannot say for certain which leads us
to our next entry number for the
uncontacted people of the jungle
it is estimated the Amazon contains
around 100 tribes humanity is yet to
formally shake hands with but as much of
the jungle is unmapped and tough to
traverse this number is just an estimate
and could be much higher
there are many other jungles around the
world with similarly in touch tribes of
indigenous people such as the rocks of
Vietnam
the euchy of bolivia and the Sentinelese
mentioned in one of our previous videos
we only know these tribes exists thanks
to aerial photography and since they're
often hostile and lack immunity to our
diseases we try to avoid contact with
them but what secrets do they hold
what do they know of Earth's history
what do they think of us
do they like what we're wearing should
we attempt to bring these people into
our world
if you were part of these tribes would
you want to be contacted or should we
just leave them alone to exist
blissfully ignorant of the awful things
humanity is capable of genocide racism
Adam Sandler movies
in at three the Cambodian jungle girl on
January thirteenth 2007 this woman
emerged from the Cambodian jungle
covered in filth marked with deep scars
and completely naked in to this day
nobody knows who she is or where she
came from
at first a local family claims she was
their long-lost daughter roshan being
who disappeared age 9 in 1988 along with
her sister yet when DNA tests were
arranged the family mysteriously
cancelled them
the girl was determined to be a feral
child who had grown up without human
contact with the presence of wrist and
ankle scars pointed to a more sinister
backstory that she'd actually been the
victim of kidnapping
unfortunately she can't tell us what
happened to her
because the only word she knows our
father mother and stomach ache in lieu
of language the girl points to mouth
when hungry or thirsty and prefers to
crawl around her home rather than walk
sadly she's adapted poorly too civilized
life and repeatedly attempts to flee
back to the jungle
at one point she was found hiding chest
deep and feces inside a 10 metre deep
toilet pit
the girl is currently being taught how
to adapt socially by charity yet still
spends her nights sleeping in a chicken
coop but whether she really is where
shaam kneeing seems irrelevant now
because whilst we may never uncover her
mysterious past
it seems her new family are taking care
of her future as best they can
at to the Maricopa see America oxys
considered to be South America's
answered a Bigfoot and legend has it
that more than one of these savages like
creatures roam the jungles of South
America these ferocious beasts have been
seen on numerous occasions over several
centuries by both South American tribes
people & Western explorers British Army
Colonel personal faucet claimed to have
encountered a 12-foot creature of
similar description in the jungles of
brazil in 1914 describing the beast as
aggressive
speaking only in grunts and was
frightened off by gunfire
but he also described them as
intelligent using bows and arrows as
weapons and living in complex village
dwellings
this led many to speculate whether these
creatures are merely an extremely hairy
undocumented human tribe but as we've
yet to capture one we still can't be
sure
Colonel faucet later disappeared in
mysterious circumstances whilst on
another jungle expedition in Brazil
searching for the lost city of El Dorado
so there's a lesson for any of our fans
right there don't try and solve any of
the mysteries in our videos people
because giant hairy eight men will
probably your bones
number one the disappearing Dutch girls
listen free nuh and Chris creamers no
relation to the krispy kreme Empire were
too adventurous Dutch girls visiting
Panama to study Spanish but whilst
taking a hike through the jungle near
the town of bulkhead he they
mysteriously disappeared and the next
time anyone saw them was through a
microscope
looking at their bone fragments but
whilst the exact circumstances of their
disappearance is still a mystery
the girls did leave behind an eerie
collection of photographs on a camera
found in the san fran his backpack
many were taken only two hours before
the girls made an emergency call for
help
a call which never got through as they
had no reception
if that's not freaky enough at least 90
more photos were taken a full 10 days
after they disappeared
all of them at night and none showing
the girl's alive
so where they murdered did the killer
take these photos as a calling card
not according to police because after
Chris creamers hiking boot was found
with her foot still inside
police theorize that one of them had
become injured and the second had
injured herself trying to help her
leaving them both stranded in the jungle
to be picked off by scavenging animals
if this is true then the photographs may
have been taken in darkness to
illuminate the surrounding area using
its flash or to ward off jungle
creatures but with no further evidence
to go off
we can only hope these two girls met a
peaceful and quick death
has this list put you off visiting the
jungle
are you too scared to even go see the
jungle book at the movies
then why not stay at home and instead
watch one of our videos like this one
covering seven secret undiscovered
treasures
some of them are reportedly hidden deep
within the jungle
would you risk your life for them
