Mount Rushmore Mount Rushmore in South Dakota receives three million visitors annually, but most of them don’t know about the monument’s secret door and chamber, and no ordinary tourist has access to it. Located within the mountain featuring four six-story tall busts of American Presidents, the hidden room was originally meant to educate visitors on why the monuments are there. 9. Ni’ihau, Hawaii Known as Hawaii’s “forbidden island,” Ni’ihau is a privately-owned 70-square-mile (182 km2) island located roughly 17 miles (27.4 km) from the coast of Kauai. Its 130-or-so residents lack modern plumbing, cars, stores, paved roads, and the internet. Their electricity is powered by solar and generators, and they spend their days fishing and farming. 8. Vatican’s Secret Archives The Vatican’s Secret Archives, recently renamed the Vatican Apostolic Archives, contain twelve centuries’ worth of archives, amounting to millions of documents dating as far back as the eighth century. Altogether, the materials occupy around 53 miles (85 km) of shelving, as well as an underground vault called “The Bunker.” 7. Room 39, North Korea Room 39 is a highly secretive North Korean organization that maintains the Hermit Kingdom’s “slush fund,” which is estimated to bring in between $500 million and $1 billion per year, if not more. It’s suspected of engaging in illegal activities, including manufacturing counterfeit currency and producing dangerous controlled substances such as opiates and methamphetamine, as well as illegal trading and international insurance fraud. 6. Heard Island, Australia It would be difficult to violate the Australian government’s ban against visiting Heard Island, which requires a week-long boat journey totaling 2,485 miles (4,000 km). The remote territory is home to a 9,000-foot (2,745 meters) tall active volcano nicknamed Big Ben. It’s the tallest mountain in Australian-owned territory, minus Antarctica. 5. Coca-Cola Vault One of the world’s most closely-guarded secrets is the Coca-Cola recipe, which is kept inside a large security vault at the World of Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. The elusive concoction dates back to 1886, courtesy of Dr. John S. Pemberton. But the recipe was not documented until 1919, when Ernest Woodruff and his investors purchased the rights to it. 4. Menwith Hill The tranquil, rolling green hills of North Yorkshire, England are home to a series of white ball-like dome buildings called the Menwith Hill station. Owned by the British Ministry of Defence, the property serves as a Royal Air Force station and extends access to the U.S. Department of Defense via international agreements between the British and American governments, as well as the 1951 NATO Status of Forces Agreement. 3. Mezhgorye, Russia Often referred to as Russia’s “Area 51,” Mezhgorye is a closed town located on the banks of the Maly Inser River, near Mount Yamantau in the Ural Mountains. Founded in 1979, the settlement was formerly called Ufa-105 and Beloretsk-16. Doesn’t sound very homey or cozy right? 2. Ise Grand Shrine, Japan Also known as Ise Jingu, the Ise Grand Shrine is Japan’s most sacred Shinto shrine. Nestled in the heart of a dense, sacred forest in Ise City in the Mie Prefecture of Honshu Island, the complex of 125 shrines dates back to the third century and is rebuilt every two decades to symbolize the Shinto beliefs in rebirth and renewal. The current shrines were built in 2013. 1. Woomera Test Range Situated over 250 miles (400 km) northwest of Adelaide, the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA), also called the Woomera Test Range, is one of Australia’s most restricted areas. Two of its three sections are used for weapons testing, while one extra-heavily guarded area, known as the Red Zone, is used year-round by the country’s Department of Defence. #secretplaces #hiddenrooms #mysteriousplaces #originsexplained
