7. Secret Nazi Hideout\r
Argentina seems like the last possible place for Nazis to hide out at during the end of war considering how far it is from Germany. This strange hideout proves that fleeing war criminals were able to hide out in the northern remote jungles of Argentina . Groups of stones were piled together where piles of German coins found. Archaeologists suspect that these ruins by supporters of the Nazis on one of them could have housed Hitlers right hand man Martin Bormann, who was a prominent figure of the Third Reich. Broken porcelain cups like this one were found that still have the mark ‘made in Germany” stamped on them. Its believed that as many as 5000 war criminals fled to Argentina while others made it safely to Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Is there anyone else who could have faked their death and made it here safely?\r

2. Chicken Church\r
Youll never believe some things that are found in the middle of the rainforest! No this isnt the Churches Chicken headquarters This building here lies deep within the Indonesian rainforest miles away from civilization. This bizarre abandoned structure attrs many curious travellers who rightfully intrigued by this building. The designer, Daniel Alamsjah, claims its neither chicken nor a church… So what on earth is it?! He claims he received a divine message from god to build a prayer house in the form of a dove. The building is still unfinished and visitors need to be careful since the building is quite unstable. Some rooms were build to rehabilitate addicts. Walls have been relentlessly graffitied and it seems as though the building didnt fulfill the purpose that Daniel was hoping for. Needless to say this guy had a pretty crazy vision.\r

While your high school kid cant seem to pass history class, this 15 year old kid here is making remarkable discoveries. A lost Mayan City was uncovered by a Canadian schoolboy in 2016 using a combination of satellite images and astronomical constellations. He knew that Mayans were experts in astronomy and often built structures in order to match the stars in the sky. He then went on to google maps and noticed this structure, he believed was a lost temple! And he was dead on.
