The
world around us is full of mysteries. There are things we believe in without
even knowing about its existence. Science doesn’t always find an answer to all
questions and that’s exactly why we still love to watch movies like “Lord of
the Rings’ and read ‘Harry Potter’ numerous times. All mysterious things have a
charm and the charm lies in the fact that we don’t know everything about it.
From old civilizations to some of the cultural practices, mystery has been
associated with every part of the world. There are innumerable places in the
world which can be called mysterious for some reason or another. Let’s have a
look at five of them which make it to the top.
Easter
Island
Easter
Island is one of the most isolated regions in the world, Easter Island makes to
the top of the list. The region is full of giant volcanic rock statues called
“moai”. The people of the island were called Rapa Nui and no one knows where
they came from and where they vanished. The reason for the carving remains as
unknown as the islanders. There have been a lot of research in finding out the
stories behind these giant structures but there hasn’t been any concrete answer
to this question.
The
Pyramids of Giza
The
largest and oldest of the three pyramids in Giza Necropolis, the great pyramids
of Giza also called the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Cheops was the
tallest man made structure in world for more than 3800 years. The casing stone
which originally formed the smooth surface on the great pyramid has worn off
and what we actually see the core structure. Egyptian civilization is the said
to be the most mysterious and advanced civilization of all times and the great
pyramid only adds to the mystery.
The
three largest pyramids are Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Kafhre and
the Pyramid of Menkaura which are said to be the tombs dedicated for three
different Egyptian king. You should spend holidays to Egypt and to check this
places
Stonehenge
Located
in the English country of Whltshire, Stonhenge is a one of the most famous
prehistoric monuments in the world. What makes this place special is the
circular setting of standing stones. The stone monument is believed to be
erected near 2500 BC though there is no concrete proof the origin. The region
lists in UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.
The
construction of the setting is quite impressive in itself considering the labor
and time that went in making it. Stonehenge is believed to be a large earthwork
constructed about 5000 years ago. The tools used are said to be equivalent to the
earth digging and moving.
Castlerigg
Stone Circle
This
stone circle in Cumbria is an impressive pre historic monument in Britain. The
stone circle is said to date back to 3200 BC and is a vision in itself. Not
only is it flooded with tourists all around, it has also been a subject among
archeologists. Apparently many of the stones of Castlerigg reflect features in
the surrounding hills.
38
stones of different shapes and sizes form this circle. Some of the stones are
as high as 5 feet. A mystery on how, when and why it was built, the Castlerigg
is not a full circle and is flattened on the northeast. Inside the eastern side
is a rectangular enclosure of about 10 stones. The purpose of this enclosure
remains as mysterious as this whole structure.
Cenote
in Mayan Civilization
Deep
within the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala, this civilization flourished when
Europe was still in the Dark ages. These people were the masters of mathematics
and had mapped the heavens. These warriors called Maya had fought the Spanish.
The cities were built with utmost perfection without any metal tool. The stone
structures found in jungle talks about the genius they were. The Mayas are a
mystery in themselves as such great architecture doesn’t seem to belong to that
era.
The
underground world called Cenote are water bodies which will make a chill rn
down your spine if you manage to walk down the narrow stairs that led to this
vertical hole. Nothing in the world can be more bizarre than the sight you see
when you get used to light under 20 feet.
