In episode 20 of the 5 Minute Mysteries podcast, we unravel the baffling case of the Somerton Man, one of Australia’s most enduring enigmas. In 1948, a man was found dead on Somerton Beach in Adelaide, with no identification and a series of cryptic clues that have puzzled investigators for decades. From a torn scrap of paper with the words "Tamam Shud" to uncrackable codes and mysterious connections to a rare book, this case has sparked countless theories but no definitive answers. Join us as we explore the mystery of the Somerton Man and the questions that still linger.
