The Maya created a unique ancient civilization. They not only achieve a high level of state construction, but also develop other fields such as architecture, astronomy, mathematics, and time math. They have their own calendar system, use hieroglyphs into the writing system, use the decimal binary system, develop the concept of "zero" earlier than 900 years. But the Mayan mystery's mysterious appearance and disappearance is still a tough puzzle for scientists.

The Cossacks are very strong in military. They have very famous cavalry even they are considered the best cavalry of all time.

The state of Hittite is a powerful, disciplined state, whose technology developed far beyond the same empires at the time. This was the first country to have a constitution , honoring the two-headed eagles, pioneering the use of iron, the iron weapons they had created since the 14th century BC.

But why did they disappear without leaving a trace? German scientist Johann Lehmann said that this nation went north and assimilated with German tribes.

4. The Sumerian people

This is the most mysterious nation in the ancient world. So far we know nothing about the origins of ethnicity and the origin of their language.

In 3100 BC, Sumer's population increased to the same number of people living in cities, even growing beyond the target of civilization. They achieved very high levels of astronomy and mathematics. The Sumerians were able to accurately measure the distance between stars. Even today, we still use the same math, calendar, and time systems as they do.

5. Etruscan people

Archaeologists have discovered this nation lives in the northwest of the Appenine peninsula and creates a fairly developed civilization there. They formed the first cities of Italy and perhaps the Roman numerals as their inventions . They were mostly farmers and traders traded between Greece and Carthage.

6. Ethnic Basques

The origin and language of Basques is a mystery of modern history. Basque languages, Euskara, are said to be the pre-Indo-European monument language that does not belong to any group of languages that exist today.

According to a National Geographic study conducted in 2012, Basques have a set of genes that are quite different from the others around them.

7. Kalash people

The origins of the Kalash are always a mystery to be explored by archaeologists. This is a minority living in the north of Pakistan, in the Hindu Kush mountains. According to the study this may be an Asian nation but with European beauty . Their DNA is not the same as that of Europeans, but their appearance is indeed difficult to distinguish from Europeans.

According to legend, they are descendants of Alexandre the Great's army. This army passed through Pakistan, lived with native women, and left descendants identical to modern Europeans. However, they do not have the charismatic character of their ancestors, but those who live simply, love life, love peace, are very optimistic.

8. The Philistine people

This is the most mysterious nation in the Bible. The Philistine people use iron and together with the Hittite peoples marked the beginning of the Iron Age. According to the Bible, the Philistines originated from the island of Caphtor (Crete). However, their disappearance is unknown, they are more likely to be assimilated with the Eastern Mediterranean peoples.

9. Yam Empire

Archaeologists were certain that the Kingdom of Yam existed as a trading partner as well as an opponent of the ancient Egyptian kingdom, but its exact location was still a difficult mystery to answer. like Atlantis.

Scientists discovered hieroglyphs in an area more than 700km southwest of the Nile that confirmed the existence of trade between Yam and Egypt. At the same time, it also tells us exactly where Yam's location is in the highlands of present-day Chad, north of about 1500 km from Egypt. But how the Egyptians could cross more than a thousand desert kilometers in an era without wheels and only tricking the goods is still a mystery.
