Which bizarre historical mystery do you most want to uncover the truth behind? (kbin.social)

Looking for history rabbit holes to fall into.

For me it has always been the Bronze Age Collapse - how exactly did almost every major civilization near Greece and Egypt that was thriving in 1200 BCE just collapse or drastically weaken over a span of ~50 years? Related mystery - where did the Sea Peoples, raiders who are proposed to have played a role in the collapse, even come from?

  • Cleopatra and Antony's tomb location(s) would be great, as well as Alexander the Great.
  • Who the Sea People's were and why did they destroy all of the Mediterranean major civilizations during the bronze age (sans Egypt but they were severely weakened and would never recover)
  • What happened to Legio IX?
  • What the hell are Bears doing in the siege of Themiscyra??!

I try not to lose sleep over missing artifacts like the Ark of the Covenant or the Florentine Diamond cause they could just have been destroyed. Would be cool if they were discovered.
