My novel takes place in a realm called Ordadus, where people from varying historical periods have mysteriously disappeared to. This has occurred with increasing rarity as the centuries have worn on.
Do you know of any disappearances of people, legend or fact, that have happened in the history of humankind? I'm looking for mostly pre-1900s examples, but I'm open to recent ones too as they might come in handy, depending on where I decide to take the plot. I might use Amelia Earhart's disappearance as one, for instance.
I have two others on my list:
- An Ancient Egyptian legend in which a bunch of peeps were blinded by a bright light and disappeared
- The Iron Mountain Disappearance
- EDIT: totally forgot to add the Anasazis
Oh, and if you know of any famous animal disappearances, I'd take those too.
Thank you ~
