- (China Volume) Replica of Qin Shi Huang's Coffin: How many treasures are buried in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang? Was the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang ever looted? When will the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang be fully excavated?
- The Mystery of the Xuanwu Gate Soldiers: On July 2, 262 AD, within the Xuanwu Gate of the Tang Dynasty imperial palace, the scene was filled with flashing swords and flowing blood. The Prince of Qin Li Shimin initiated a massacre among his brothers. Although history has long passed, the mysteries surrounding the event have lingered.
- The Mystery of Empress Wu Zetian's "Wordless Stele": At the Qianling Tomb, the steles of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Empress Wu Zetian stand side by side. The Gaozong stele, composed by Wu Zetian herself, spans 8,000 characters and is known as the "Commemorative Stele of the Sage Emperor." In contrast, Wu Zetian's stele bears no inscriptions, exuding an imposing and aloof aura—hence the name "Wordless Stele." For thousands of years, historians have been left in awe and unable to fathom its meaning.
- The Mystery of Yang Guifei's Fate: Did Yang Guifei really die at Ma Wai Po? Historians suggest otherwise. In 1963, a Japanese girl demonstrated her family tree on television, asserting with certainty that she was a descendant of Yang Guifei and claiming that a tomb of Yang Guifei was found in the Higashi-Nihon Bay. In Kyoto's Seirin Temple, two Buddhist statues are designated as important cultural relics of Japan. According to Japanese records, they were sent by the Tang Emperor Xuanzong—was Yang Guifei really able to escape to Japan?
- The Mystery of Xi Shi's Fate: Fish would forget how to swim upon seeing Xi Shi; swallows would forget how to fly. This is the origin of the idiom "the fish forgets to swim and the swallow forgets to fly." However, this beauty was born amidst the chaos of the state of Yue. To lure the king of Wu into debauchery, the Yue people presented Xi Shi to the king of Wu. Soon after, Yue defeated Wu, but Xi Shi vanished without a trace.

Recent experts suggest that before Berlin fell, Hitler and some of his close aides escaped aboard a submarine to South America and remained hidden.
