[extropy-chat] HISTORY: Solved & Unsolved Riddles

[natashavita at earthlink.net]

Throughout history there have been riddles that have intrigued and
surprised. Riddles such as Fermat's last theorem*; how Solomon bult himself
a royal place and solved the riddles sent to him by Hiram; the location of
the legendary 'Sogdian Rock' climbed by Alexander's mountaineers somewhere
out on the border of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, south-east of Samarkand;
who was Kind Arthur; Schrodinger's Riddle, how life evolved from non-life;
or who were the people in Mesoamerica who prepared the soil for the Mayan
culture.

What are some riddles that some bear light, or a shadow, on our extropic
transhumanity?

All comments welcome.
