Accessible toilets. You wonder why the ancient Scots loved stone circles so much. And you never quite understand how they came up with the recipe for haggis. Yet nowhere is as thought-provoking as Rosslyn Chapel. This stunning chapel is located outside of Edinburgh and has flummoxed historians, movie-makers, and visitors for centuries. Intricately carved stone-work is laced with strange symbolism, ancient cults appear behind every story, and alien activity frequently gets reported by UFO hunters.

So, we unearthed some of the strangest stories surrounding Rosslyn Chapel for you. Read on and see if you can solve the mysteries. And Rosslyn Chapel is no different. They suggest the chapel is a stargate for extra-terrestrials to pass into our world because of the otherworldly geometric patterns; which are obviously too beautiful and strange to be the work of a human.

And the UFO hunters have a point, these are very strange artefacts of the past. The area boasts more UFO sightings than average, and there are a few carvings that look a little like reptilian aliens. The two of them visited the chapel and immediately knew there was something more to the unique geometry.

So, they spent 27 years trying to crack the code. And eventually, they had a breakthrough. They saw angels playing instruments and geometric cube carvings accompanying them in the arches. And to their amazement, they found the geometric patterns on the cubes correlated to a Chladni Pitch , which are the patterns sand and liquid makes on a flat surface when certain musical tones are played.

By looking at these for the notes and an angel that points to a musical staff for the key, they managed to understand the architecture as a giant musical score. You can listen to the piece of music here. You may want to believe this story because it sounds like something straight out of your favourite conspiracy movie.
