Which bizarre historical mystery do you most want to uncover the truth behind?

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?

  • What happened to the Kruger Millions? My cousin used to live near the Blyde River Canyon, and he would always have a story about a new group of treasure hunters who were sure they had figured it out. Obviously, no one ever did. And then a couple years ago, some coins from the era turned up in a Swiss bank vault. So did someone find the treasure? Was it ever actually buried in South Africa at all? WHO KNOWS!
