Google Maps hosts millions and millions of images. Among the countless images, there are some that are very strange, very impressive, or even quite “creepy,” and you might not even know such things exist in the world.
Top 8 Most Mysterious Images on Google Maps
We can find all kinds of images on Google. This is because Google collects photos from very diverse sources: satellite images, aerial shots from drones, and images captured by Google’s street-view cars…
Among these images, some have left many people in disbelief, as highlighted by News Australia and the New York Post in their compilation this year.
The Mysterious “Pyramid”
There is a blurry image that many believe could be an unexcavated pyramid in Egypt. However, it is not something one can just go see immediately, so there is still ongoing debate about whether it is a natural or man-made structure.
The Giant Star
There is a large star image located in a remote area of Kazakhstan that has remained unconfirmed for many years. Initially, it was thought to be related to mystical movements. However, some now believe it marks the outline of a park (though it’s unclear if it is still in use).
Image in the Gobi Desert
Deep in the Gobi Desert of China, there is a strange area with white lines that appear to be drawn randomly. Currently, it is believed that these are Yagi antennas used for weather monitoring and atmospheric research.
The Lips in Sudan
There is a giant lip-shaped formation nearly 1km long on a hill in Darfur (Sudan). However, it seems that this formation does not convey any message, as scientists believe it may have formed due to variations in sand color.
The “Ghost” Island
This island in Australian waters is referred to as the “ghost island” because there was previously information about it: 24km long and 5km wide (too large to be overlooked); however, on Google Maps today, it appears only as a faint outline with no visible details. It is difficult to determine what has happened to the island.
The Blood-Red Lake
No one knows why a lake outside the city of Sadr (Iraq) appears bright red. Each person speculates differently about this mysterious phenomenon, but there has yet to be an official explanation.
The “Face” in Canada
In a barren area of Canada, there are land formations that closely resemble a human face (when viewed from the side). It is likely that this is merely a random arrangement of geological structures.
The Giant in Atacama
In the Atacama Desert (Chile), there is a figure resembling a person (also very similar to a robot) that stretches 119 meters carved into the ground. Some still believe this figure is related to extraterrestrial beings. While this has not been confirmed, researchers suggest that it was created between 900 and 1450 BC.
