This episode explores the legendary Egyptian labyrinth described by Herodotus—an enormous structure said to contain thousands of chambers. Once considered more impressive than the pyramids, it mysteriously vanished over time. Recent radar scans suggest a massive underground complex at Hawara may be its remains, but excavation is limited. The labyrinth remains one of Egypt’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

In this episode, Forgotten Mysteries explores the fascinating discovery of the Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient Greek device found in a shipwreck near the island of Antikythera in 1901. At first mistaken for a corroded lump of metal, the object was later revealed to contain over 30 bronze gears and complex inscriptions, making it the earliest known analog computer.

In this episode of Forgotten Mysteries, we explore the baffling 12th-century legend of The Green Children of Woolpit. One day, villagers in Suffolk, England, discovered two unusual children—a boy and a girl—who had green skin, wore unknown clothing, and spoke in an incomprehensible language. They refused all food except raw broad beans. Over time, the girl adapted to normal food and lost her green hue, but the boy tragically passed away.

As the girl learned English, she revealed that she and her brother came from Saint Martin’s Land, a place of eternal twilight where everyone had green skin. They had wandered into a cave after hearing bells and emerged into the bright world of Woolpit, unable to return.

Historians and theorists have debated their origins for centuries. Some suggest malnutrition caused their green appearance, while others believe they were Flemish refugees displaced by war. More fantastical theories propose that they were travelers from another dimension or an underground civilization.

Despite centuries of speculation, the truth behind the Green Children remains a mystery. Were they lost orphans, supernatural visitors, or something else entirely? The story continues to intrigue and mystify.
