And can an island off the coast of Japan provide evidence of a once-lost civilization?

Exploring if dark, powerful energies permeate the human world, or if it is all just myth and superstition.

What does it mean when a certain location or mysterious object is referred to as "cursed"? Is it simply a creation of the human imagination mixed with myth, legends, and stories used to explain the common fears inside of us? Perhaps certain areas really are haunted or contain some dark energy emanating from a violent event in the past.

Over the centuries, there are certain objects of power that rise above all the rest. Whether it's the mystery of their creation, or the effects they have on those in contact with them, their impact on the world is striking. For example, can the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls not only change what we know about world history and Biblical canon, but lead to the legendary lost treasure of King Solomon? And how did the ancient Greeks construct a device from 2,000 years ago?

Twisting rivers, large lakes and massive oceans cover most of the planet; for centuries, people have wondered about activity deep beneath the surface; as technology advances, humanity pushes farther into deep ocean waters, mapping and uncovering new species and biomes; this interest in global waters raises new inquiries regarding cursed man-made lakes and isolated future discoveries beneath Antarctic ice.

There are countless stories about hidden jewels, confiscated coins and priceless artifacts that remain tantalizingly elusive and hidden from view. But there is evidence that some of these accounts are not tall tales at all, but rather open-ended quests just waiting to be solved. Will lost gold buried in the tumultuous days of the American Civil War ever be found? And could the opulent city of Xanadu described in the travels of Marco Polo exist in the jungles of Asia?

We've all wondered about mysterious societies that operate in the shadows, holding the potential to shape our daily lives. But is the massive reach of these shadowy groups a fabrication—an easy target for people to assign blame—or something much more real? Are the interests of the many truly controlled by the select few? It is an unnerving thought that unaccountable, unseen forces are actively steering our lives, potentially for the worse.

The pursuit of knowledge and understanding is a lifelong endeavor as society moves forward. We continue to push boundaries, test new ideas and ask new questions about what's possible. But is there a line where this noble scientific pursuit becomes something strange, unconventional—or even dangerous? What causes a controlled experiment to go horribly wrong?
