Top 10 Places You're Not Allowed To Visit
Published in Entertainment at April 12th, 2017 at 10:30 AM
When you tihnk about it, a lot of places on this planet are off limits without permission, but these are right up there with code red level 10 security clearance men in black style places. You are simply not allowed in without extreme privileges.
Metro 2
Supposedly built by Stalin for the Russian Secret Service and top government officials,
this rumored secret subway has never been proven to exist although people who worked on it have been interviewed.
Club 33
If you can pay a $25,000 initiation fee and $10,000 annually for membership then you can join Club 33,
one of the world’s most exclusive and secretive dinner clubs found in the middle of the happiest place on Earth.
Room 39
Found in the capital city of Pyongyang, this secretive government facility is said to be the heart of numerous illegal operations including counterfeiting and international insurance fraud.
Area 51
No list like this would be complete without Area 51. The infamous site where supposed aliens crash landed and have been there ever since. We don't know what to believe*
*fly across the image to scale with sfx playing in notes above
Bank of England Gold Vaults
The only way to get in here is with a key that is 90 cm long! Even if you wanted to get the key you would have a slight problem though.
The names of employees working at the vaults are kept secret.
The Bohemian Club
The Bohemian Club is famous for its secrecy and high profile members. It is said that it was single handedly responsible for the Manhattan Project.
When we say high profile it really is the top of end of the powerful across the world. Check out some of the faces here, former presidents and some of the richest men alive
Lascaux Cave Paintings
These 20,000 year old cave paintings were being damaged by exhaled CO2 from tourists so the French Government shut them down.
That's right, human stinky breath is causing the paintings to dry up so we can't go in there anymore
The Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion
Said to be the final resting place of the ark and its 10 commandments, the small Ethiopian chapel that supposedly houses it has sprung a leak meaning the ark will have to be moved soon.
Apart from the priest who is never allowed to leave the grounds, no one has ever been allowed to enter.
Coca Cola Secret Recipe Vault
There have always been rumors about Coca Cola’s secret recipe and in 2011 it was supposedly retrieved from its vault at SunTrust Bank and transferred a few minutes down the street
to the new World of Coca Cola exhibit. Visitors can now see the vault complete with all of its security. Many people, however, believe that Coca Cola is just monetizing the myth. We think we now what the main ingredient is*
Google Data Centre
Probably as guarded as Area 51, Google’s first data center is a high security location.
And look at how pretty they've made it look
Menwith Hill
Run by the Royal Air Force in conjunction with the NSA, this place is said to be the most powerful and extensive monitoring station in the world.
Mezhgorye
This town in Russia is closed by the government and is believed to house employees working on Mount Yamantaw, the location of what NATO suspects to be a large nuclear facility.
Tidbinbilla Satellite Tracking Station
This satellite tracking station in the middle of Australia is run by the Australian and US governments and is a central point for spy satellite operations.
Pripyat
One of the most radioactive places on Earth, although it is possible to enter the exclusion zone, you can only do so with an armed guard.
Pripyat is is where the largest nuclear power plant leak happened and has remained out of bounds ever since. If you go to far into the city you'll die within just 30 minutes!
Ying Zheng Tomb
Home to wonders like the famous Terracotta Army, the tomb of China’s first emperor remains largely unexcavated thanks to a very protective Chinese government.
North Sentinel Island
Inhabited by between 50 and 400 Sentilese who tend to rain arrows down on the heads of foreign amabassadors trying to make contact, they have now been protected by the Indian Government.
They're so aggresive they'll fire arrows and throw spears at anybody coming near, including choppers. They've also murdered 2 fishermen who ran aground on the island.
Shinto Shrines
In existence since 4BC only priests and priestesses of the royal family are allowed in. Fun fact – the shrine is demolished and rebuilt every 20 years in keeping with the Shinto idea of death and rebirth.
Snake Island
Just off the coast of Brazil this snake infested island lives up to its name and is off limits to visitors courtesy of the Brazilian Navy. Supposedly it is home to over 5,000 highly venomous snakes.
You could run the risk of landing here but what if it contained a little more than just snakes. What if the movies were real....*
Surtsey
Among the planet’s youngest places, this North Atlantic island emerged from the waves following an extended volcanic eruption in the 1960’s.
It is arguably the world’s most pristine natural habitat and only a few scientists have ever been allowed to venture there.
Svalbard Seed Vault
Just in case some kind of Hollywood style apocalypse ever befell the Earth, this place would have the ability to bring it back again, at least the green part. This is Svalbard seed vault. Sounds like a famous super heroes home*
The vault contains a huge array of seeds from most of the worlds shrubbery and is designed to be used to re-grow our planet if the need arises.
The Woomera Range Complex
The largest land testing range on Earth is located in Australia and just in case there was any question about its accessability, it was clarified right in the name.
The Mariana Trench
You weren’t expecting this one were you? Well goodluck trying to get there. It’s the deepest place in the ocean and only three people have ever made it to the bottom. Its home to some of the worlds most gruesome* and ugly* creatures and even Megatron*
The Vatican Vaults
Although conspiracy theorists tell of advanced vaults this is far from the truth. The archives rely on insanely old fashioned technology.
And they’re not even truly secret. Although you can’t enter, unless you're this guy*, you can view any document that is older than 75 years. Today it is said that they have more than 50 miles of shelving.
The Raven Rock Mountain Complex
Basically the real version of the “doomsday” bunker where you always see the President go in the movies, it is 48 miles outside of Washington DC
in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Not much has been said of the place apart from a short TIME magazine interview of one of its retired engineers.
Whites
No, it’s not racist. At least not to our knowledge. It’s the most exclusive club in England and it only caters to royalty and other men in powerful posititions.
Its also an only men allowed establishment, so sorry ladies* you're out of here
