What is the strangest island in the world?

 There's a sand island that some strange researchers believe could be a place where aliens conduct research on Earth. Sable Island, a narrow, crescent-shaped sandbar with a surface area of ​​about 34 square kilometers, is located about 300 kilometers southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The island is moving at an average speed of about 200 meters per year, so don't be surprised if its landscape changes overnight.

The island is specifically mentioned in the British North America Act 1867, Section 4, Subsection 91, as a special responsibility of the federal government. Therefore, the island is considered a separate amateur radio entity and is used for operations under the special call prefix CY0. Because the island is a separate radio entity, it has become a popular expedition destination.

Sable Island is a dangerous place for ships. It's estimated that around 350 vessels have been affected by the island's sandbars, earning it the nickname " Graveyard of the Atlantic."

The map shows many of the wrecked ships on the island's coast, with details of the type of ship, name, and year of wreck ranging from 1802 to 1946, although the earliest wreck dates from 1583.

The island's only inhabitants are grey seals and feral horses, which represent one of the last remaining wild horse populations in the world.

The island's moving sand dunes undergo many changes and the landscape can change overnight, so it's possible that aliens chose this place for its strange uniqueness.

 Alexander the Great's granddaughter, who never got sick, and her daughter gave birth at the age of 70!!

The Hunza people are a tribe that lives in a valley known as the "Valley of Immortality." They live long lives, women give birth at the age of 70, and they do not suffer from the epidemics and diseases of this era. Their youth is eternal, as if they live on a planet other than our own. Their women are beautiful, and although they know nothing of civilization, they know how to enjoy and preserve their lives.

The Hunza tribe has a population of approximately 920,000, and its name means "united at a single front line like an arrow." The members of the tribe live a daily life that is the secret to their eternal youth. They eat raw vegetables and fruits, protein from milk, eggs, and cheese, and they have fasting periods, drinking only fresh juice for three months each year, yet they remain healthy, and they only bathe in cold water, even during the coldest time of the year. Their daily life includes walking distances of more than 20 kilometers.

Women enjoy the health to be eligible to give birth at 70 and have fresh skin like a child's, while men are strong and have extraordinary endurance, and the physical exercise necessary to continue life is difficult but there is no room for laziness because their tribe does not have modern technology. This is one of the most dangerous things that threatens heart health, and therefore they live up to 145 years.

These people were discovered by chance in 1984 when a security guard at London Airport stopped a man named "Abdul Maband." His date of birth was 1932 according to his passport, and he looked to be in his 30s. Because the man was a security guard, he told the guard about his hometown.

Andwind, a Hindi-language website, states that this community speaks Bruchski and claims to be descendants of one of Alexander the Great's armies, the army of "Alexanddar," who got lost alone in the narrow mountains of the Himalayas in the 4th century.
