Os 10 lugares mais PROTEGIDOS do mundo

The world is full of secret and mysterious places that are guarded under lock and key, protected 24 hours a day against the entry of curious people and invaders. From maximum security areas to places protected by political interests, you are definitely not welcome in any of them. I'm Donato de Paula, narrator of Mistérios do Mundo, and here are the 10 most protected places in the world.

Fort Knox - United States Fort Knox is in Ohio, and is one of the most protected places by the North American Army. The place serves as a kind of super protected safe for priceless documents, treasures and artifacts . The fort is full of mysteries, so it is somewhat difficult to know everything exactly what is hidden inside.

But it is known, for example, that the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence of the United States are there. But the fort is not just used to protect important objects - the area around it is also heavily guarded, and is used as a training ground for the Army, which parades there with tanks, carrying out simulations and war exercises. To enter the most protected part, it is necessary to enter 10 different passwords, with no member of the government having more than one.

Vatican Secret Archive The Catholic Church, with its more than two thousand years of history, has a lot to store, from relics. In total, there are more than 80 kilometers of shelves, which are only accessible to students and researchers duly authorized by religious authorities . Everyone who wants to enter must have completed a five-year higher education course .

Clergy must have a bachelor's degree or doctorate. Typically, documents from the Vatican archives are made available to these few people after 75 years. The notable exception occurred in 2003, when some documents relating to the Vatican's relations with Nazi Germany during the pontificate of Pope Pius were released.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York Fort Knox may be quite famous for guarding priceless treasures. But it is not the only place in the United States that hides such wealth. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York holds approximately 500,000 gold bars.

There are more than 8 thousand tons and a total value that is almost impossible to calculate. The treasure is so well kept underground that even the governments of other countries deposit part of their wealth there. The site is secure with heavily armed guards 24 hours a day, in addition to the use of cutting-edge technology, including robots that help keep gold safe and even very important documents that cannot fall into the hands of just anyone.

And the most important papers of the Church are very well kept in the Vatican's Secret Archive. free from any invader. Massive steel-reinforced concrete walls surround the entire space.

The vault is so secure that if a person were trapped inside, they would only have enough air to survive for 72 hours. Of course, this is just a theory, as luckily no one was trapped inside. Apocalypse Bunker - Norway Not only material and valuable goods are kept under lock and key.

In the distant archipelago of Svalbard, in Norway, there is a bunker with a much more noble purpose. Built in 2008 and financed by the Norwegian government, this vault brings together the widest possible variety of seeds, with the aim of protecting a multitude of species of trees, fruits and vegetables from extinction in the event of a global catastrophe. It is estimated that the apocalypse bunker, as it is called, hides more than 850 thousand copies of seeds, coming from all corners of our planet.

Although most believe that the vault would only come into action in an apocalyptic scenario, the truth is that some seed samples have already been taken from there, to replenish Syria's gene banks after one of the recent bombings that the country faced. Iran's Gold Reserve Iran is not known for being a very transparent country when it comes to its political movements and the aspirations of its rulers. So it's no big surprise that the country's greatest treasure is somewhere totally unknown to the general population.

For obvious reasons, it is much easier to protect treasure against theft and invasion if no one knows where exactly it is hidden. This is why the Iranian government does not reveal to anyone where the country's gold reserves are stored. Before 2010, gold was deposited in reserves in Europe, but ten years ago the Iranian government decided that the precious metal should remain within its own territory, where it remains today.

Cheyenne Complex - United States Located in El Paso, Colorado, this bunker created during the Cold War is proof that the United States really cares about being well protected in the event of war. The military installation was built with the aim of serving as an operations center for the Aerospace Defense Command, and has a protective layer made of reinforced granite. This material helps to transform the Cheyenne Complex into one of the safest bunkers in the world, and its highly technological installations give the complex one of the main military command systems known.

The complex is capable of withstanding electromagnetic bombs, biological weapons and nuclear explosions of up to 30 megatons. To give you an idea, the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on the Japanese city of Hiroshima had about half that destructive power. Furthermore, the bunker was mounted on gigantic springs, ready to absorb colossal impacts.

The bomb shelter includes enough beds and supplies to house more than 500 people, as well as decontamination chambers. Korean Demilitarized Zone The climate between North and South Korea has been tense for a long time, which is why the border between the two countries is as dangerous as it is guarded. It is an extension of land that occupies 250 kilometers in length and 4 in width.

To prevent North Korean citizens from fleeing to the neighboring country, the North Koreans do not skimp on surveillance of the place. As the human presence in the Demilitarized Zone is almost nil, the vegetation takes advantage and flourishes like few other places. Each country manages one half of the border, and while North Korea protects its part on its own, the South Koreans receive support from the United States in maintaining their half.

In the middle of the Demilitarized Zone, there is Panmunjon, where the armistice of the Korean War was established. Air Force One In the United States, the aircraft used to transport the president are called 'Air Force One', as a way to better control presidential flights and ensure the safety of the delegation. Throughout history, several aircraft have received this designation, and at the moment there are two Boeing 747-200s that perform this role.

Each of the current aircraft is equipped with security and defense systems, including measures to ensure that the planes can be refueled in flight, and are therefore capable of flying around the world. Area 51- United States Area 51 is perhaps the most famous secret place in the world. It is in the middle of the Nevada desert, and is known in popular culture as a secret base where experiments involving extraterrestrials supposedly take place.

Whether the rumors are true is difficult to know. Probably not. But what is true is that Area 51 is one of the best protected military complexes in the world.

The base is protected by hundreds of motion sensors that even detect the approach of scorpions and insects. It is also not possible to fly over it, as the airspace in the region is completely restricted and controlled by the Army. Despite all the conspiracy theories, Area 51 probably only hides military experiments and tests to protect the onboard electronics against the electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear explosion.

A telecommunications center is on the upper level, and on the lower level is a cargo hold with an autonomous baggage handling system. The mid-level contains accommodations for up to 70 passengers in addition to the crew of 26. These accommodations include seating for media representatives, security staff and other personnel.

Complete each of the planes has a conference room, an on-board pharmacy with emergency equipment; and two kitchens in which up to 100 portions can be prepared per meal. The presidential suite, which is located in the front area, has an office, a bedroom and a washbasin. involving new planes, weapons and other advanced combat equipment and technologies.

Swiss safes Switzerland is synonymous with wealth, and such a rich country needs to invest a lot in security. Swiss banks are always on the list of the safest in the world, and perhaps that's why we hear about several millionaires, corrupt people, dictators and mafiosi who choose to leave their wealth there. During World War II, German Nazis deposited much of their wealth in vaults in Switzerland, especially money and gold taken from Jews.

The safes that equip these banks are almost impenetrable, and it is said that they can only be accessed through the use of three different keys, which are almost always kept in separate places within the bank, making it difficult to try to gain access to the safes. Furthermore, banks provide absolute anonymity to customers and do not ask many questions. These institutions must follow very strict privacy rules.

In 1934, a law was passed that prohibited banks from revealing the names of account holders. But strong international pressure seems to be starting to change this scenario that has so favored those who are outside the law. Which of these secret places caught your attention the most?
