Have you ever wondered what places no one can visit? Those places that hide secrets and treasures, or are extremely dangerous to human life. From deep oceans to mountaintops, from dark caves to abandoned palaces, these mysterious places are dotted in every corner of our planet.
There are many places around the world that are considered impossible or difficult to enter, for various reasons ranging from security and military reasons, environmental and historical reasons, to private property or privacy reasons. These places are so curious and surrounded by so many mysteries and myths.
Reasons for denial of entry:
- Security and military reasons: These places are often secret military or government installations, or storage sites for dangerous materials, and are therefore prohibited from entering them to prevent espionage, theft or accidents.
- Environmental causes: Some areas are prevented from protecting the fragile environment or rare species of animals and plants in them, or because of the danger of the environment itself, such as the presence of toxic substances or radiation.
- Historical and archaeological reasons: some archaeological sites are prevented from being protected from damage or theft, or are still being studied and explored.
- Special reasons: Some places are privately owned and their owners are barred from accessing anyone to maintain privacy.
On this expedition, we will learn about some of the world's most famous prohibited places.
