The Worlds 5 most strangest places

The Worlds 5 most strangest places

The world is full of the most bizarre and the weirdest things. Who knows it better than us infact, right? From unusual cults to odd traditions, weird looking animals and creatures to wacky human creations, there is an unending list of the strangest things that remain hidden in the farthest corners of the world. Giving you a glimpse of such out of the ordinary world of dead and live, we are here yet again to take you for a tour to top five worst places in the world, that will undoubtedly take you by surprise and may be sometimes horror!

Truk Lagoon in Micronesia

The mysterious Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon has always been favorite amongst the explorers and divers. There lay dead the Japanese naval fleet and debris of their naval vessels and aircraft-carriers that drowned in 1944. While swimming through the wrecks, one can spot gas masks, sake cups, and the odd human remains. For almost 25 years no one was allowed to dive here as the area quietly conceals thousands of unexploded bombs.

Museum of Medical History Myuttera, Philadelphia

Like watching creepy skeletons and bones hanging off from cupboards and shelves? Museum of Medical History Myuttera is just the perfect place. The Mütter Museum is a collection of pathological specimens, antique medical equipments and biological exhibits. This museum is famous for its vast collection of skulls and unique displays like a female corpse, which turned into a soap in the land where she was buried, Siamese twins with combined liver , celebrity body parts and all kind of eerie things.

Manchac Swamp in Louisiana

Known as the haunted swamps, Manchac Swamp in Louisiana is said to be cursed by a woodoo queen when she was take a prisoner in the beginning of the 20th century. This resulted in disappearance of three hamlets in a hurricane in 1915. The place is only visited by few tourists that float in their torch boats under the shady and quite scary looking ancient Cyprus tress and their hanging long threading moss.

Parisian Catacombs, France

The Parisian Catacombs are a famous underground ossuary in Paris, France with bones and skulls placed on both sides of the ling corridor as the goods in stock. The walls of the long stretch that measures about 187 kilometers under the whole city, narrate the stories of the Great French Revolution. The air here is dry and has only a subtle hint of decay. It is said that the closed areas are patrolled by the special legendary underground police, though most likely the legions of the dead or vampires that although haven't been seen by any.

Chernobyl in the Ukraine

The abandoned town of Pripyat in northern Ukraine, Kiev Oblast was founded in 1970 to house the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers. The Chernobyl tragedy that struck the city in 1986 was the worst power plant disaster in history that released severe radioactivity into the environment following a massive power excursion which destroyed the reactor. Scattered toys and utensils, opened apartments and swing still creaking with the wind all make the city look creepy and dead.

The World’s 5 Most Strangest Tunnels

The World's 5 Most Strangest Tunnels

A tunnel is typically an underground passageway, built in an effort to address the growing needs of roads, highways and bridges to handle a large volume of traffic. The exact definition of a tunnel has been twitched many times in the past. Irrespective of that, tunnels are the results accomplished by a magnificent feat of engineering, with boring giant holes in mountains, or laying several feet of pathway under the ocean. Let us have a look at the world's strangest tunnels-

Channel Tunnel

Channel Tunnel: Located in Coquelles, France, this tunnel is commonly known as the Chunnel. This 31 mile tunnel that links England and France was built in 1994 with a staggering cost of more than $20 billion. The idea of linking England and France through the English Channel was being toyed at for several years. However, the project could not take shape owing to a variety of reasons, technical and political included. The invention of modern boring machines coupled with the irrefutable benefit of linking the two countries finally made it possible. In order to provide protection from fire hazards, designers have built a smaller service tunnel in between the teo main tubes to act as an escape passage.

Smuggling Tunnel

Smuggling Tunnel: Located in Tijuana, Mexico, this 1000 feet long tunnel was recently unearthed by U.S. and Mexican officials. Tunnels used by slick criminals to smuggle contrabands is not unheard of in the past. During recent years, a large number of illegal tunnels have been discovered in the U.S., coming from Canada and Mexico. This tunnel digs 860 feet into the U.S. The incomplete tunnel was fitted with lighting, a ventilation system, electricity and even an elevator. The Drug Enforcement Agency in U.S. issued a statement saying that the construction of this tunnel has been going on for over two years.

Infiltration Tunnels

Infiltration Tunnels: In the 1970s, three different tunnels were discovered along one of the most disputative borders of the world. In 1990, a fourth tunnel was discovered creeping under Korea's Demilitarized zone. The third invasion tunnel, also known as the Third Tunnel of Aggression, came dangerously close to just 26 miles of Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. These secret tunnels gave North Korea a huge advantage of launching a massive military against its strong enemy South Korea. The tunnels were large enough to shuttle an entire military division per hour.

Cu Chi Tunnel

Cu Chu Tunnel: Situated in Cu Chi, Vietnam, this giant labyrinth of tunnels played an important role during the French Indochina War and the Vietnam War. The size of these tunnels range from 75 miles to over 150 miles. The Cu Chi tunnels have been a popular tourist destination in recent years, enabling visitors to travel through the cramped spaces, check out deadly booby traps and even travel to an underground command center from where the Tet offensive was planned. Tunnel size varies from a few feet tall to larger ones refashioned for accommodating larger tourists.

Tokyo Bay Aqua-line

Tokyo Bay Aqua-line: This tunnel is located in Kawasaki city, Japan. The tunnel is 6 miles long with a 3 miles long bridge dipping into it. Traffic was permitted to commute in 1997, enabling travelers between Kawasaki city and Kisarazu City to save roughly 45 minutes each day. The unique thing about this bridge-and-tunnel combination is that a large rest area lies on top of an artificial tunnel constructed at the entrance of this tunnel. The island is called Umi-Hotaru, meaning "firefly of the sea", and serves primarily as a rest area

Five of the World’s most dangerous rivers

Five of the World's most dangerous rivers

The sight of a river fascinates everyone. We always think about a river as calm flowing water that brushes more than stones at the bottom of the river. May be we envision some fishes in it too. Whatever we think, not all the rivers are calm, and there are some dangerous rivers in the globe as well.

Let's have a look at 5 of the World's most dangerous rivers.

1.Yangtze River

Yangtze River: The Yangtze River is the largest and longest river in Asia as well as China. It is about 3964 miles long and it finally empties into the East China Sea. With plenty of rainfall all year round, it is also called the Golden Watercourse. The river has gorges along its way which are known for its dangerous with fast-moving water also numerous shoals. At several points there are deceitful whirlpools and the waters are extraordinarily turbulent. The river is also known for its flooding and dams which have been constructed have proved to be of no use. The tides of the Yangtze River are much stronger and hence the flooding. It has always been a powerful source of electricity.


2.Amazon River

Amazon River: The first to top the list is the Amazon River. The Amazon River located in South America is the largest and most dangerous river in the world because of its length, width and sheer volume. It accounts for about 20% of the world's river flow into the oceans. Because of its vast dimensions, it is sometimes called the River Sea. It is so big that there aren't any two points which can be crossed by a bridge. It is more than 150 feet deep. During a flood season, the Amazon widens to cover its banks and the islands in the middle of the river. The Amazon River is known for high tidal waves as well.


.3.Brahmaputra River

Brahmaputra River: The Brahmaputra River has its origin in the South Western Tibet and flows through Tibet, China, India and Bangladesh. It is about 1800 miles long. It is known for its flooding when the snow in the Himalayas melt and also for its tidal bare. This makes it more dangerous and stronger.

 

4.Congo River

Congo River: The Congo River, earlier recognized as the Zaire River, is in Western Central Africa. It is Africa's most powerful river and the second most voluminous river in the world. It is about 2992 miles long. The river is one among the dangerous ones because still it begins peacefully; it picks up speed and becomes turbulent until it enters the "Gates of Hell", a 75 mile long canyon of treacherous rapids. There are about 32 cataracts, having as much power as all the rivers and falls in the United States. At the Upper Congo, the river ends with the Stanley waterfall, a 60 mile draw out of rapids

5.Orinoco River

Orinoco River: The Orinoco River is the third longest river in South America and is about 1330 miles long and flows through Columbia and Venezuela. Huge tropical forests cover the southwestern parts and large portions are still virtually inaccessible. Over 200 rivers are tributaries to this mighty river. It begins at the Delgado Chalbaud Mountain and as the river passes the forested terrain and waterfalls it slows. Navigation on this part is through shallow dugout or canoe. Farther on, the waterfalls become rapids and are very difficult to navigate. It drains into the Atlantic Ocean. It often posts a threat to the people who live close to the river due to its coastal upwelling throughout the year.

Five Most Mystical Places of the World

Five Most Mystical Places of the World

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.

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.

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.

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

Abadonaded Moscow Tunnels _ Wacky Owl - Strange and Weird

Abandonaded Moscow Tunnels _ Wacky Owl - Strange and Weird

The abandoned Moscow tunnels are really scary and weird. The present picture of these tunnels scares us and represents fear factor. They are such long that if anybody goes in these tunnels will get scared. It seems like it is the way to go from one world to another. these tunnels need the maintenance and of course the person who will go to repair these tunnels will himself get scared of it. the strange condition of these tunnels force us to think about. With less effort we can make them again proper functioning. We have to repair the damages so that in future it should not become dangerous.But we should also notice that the people who are working in these tunnels are really brave as they are working in these tunnels at this strange condition. The tunnels are getting really big and because of this its maintenance is also not easy but we should divide the work so that proper management can be done on these tunnels. If we manage it then we can make these abandoned Moscow tunnels working again and that could be a best part to keep our city clean. We should repair them time by time and get the things done in our way.
