1948 unsolved death of an unidentified man in Somerton, South Australia
Dead man washed up on an Adelaide beach in 1948 with zero ID and a cryptic scrap of Persian poetry in his pocket. Decades later, still nobody knows who he was—making him one of history's most famous mysteries.
The Somerton Man is an unidentified man whose body was found on 1 December 1948 on the beach at Somerton Park, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. The case is also known by the Persian phrase tamám shud, meaning "It is over" or "It is finished", which was printed on a scrap of paper found months later in the fob pocket of the man's trousers. The scrap had been torn from the final page of a copy of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, a poetry book.
