The life forms on Earth are the only life forms we know about other than us. But, is there a possibility that there is life, let's just put it as, ‘out of the world’ (did you get it? No? Okay, moving on...).   Aliens have been a theory ever since we found other planets. There are possibilities that even the ancient people theorized about aliens and made contact with them.   Aliens are usually linked with UFOs (Unsung Funny Obeasties. Just kidding.. It means Unidentified Flying Objects. Also research the word Obeasties). Movies(mostly Hollywood) have led us to believe that UFOs are related to these extraterrestrial beings.   Kennet Arnold, an American Aviator and Businessman, was the first person whose reported sighting of UFOs. This sighting became viral… In 1947. He was searching for a transport plane in Mount Rainier in Washington. He saw a series of 9 UFOs in a V shape. He estimated it to be moving at 2700km/hour 3 times faster than any aircraft at that time..   H...

And now, for the last post, but not the least, The City of Petra.   The ancient city of Petra is located in a remote valley, among (See what we did here?) sandstone mountains and cliffs. A myth states that Moses struck a rock in the city and water gushed through.  Later the Nabataeans, an Arab tribe, made it their capital. During this time, it flourished, becoming an important trade center, especially for spices. The Nabataeans were very good sculptures. They chiselled dwellings, temples, and tombs into the sandstone, which changed colour with the shifting sun.   Famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system, Petra is also called the "Red Rose City" because of the colour of the stone from which it is carved.    It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.     Petra is home to roughly 800 tombs, therefore known as the “Royal Tombs”, with the most renowned being The Treasury. The Treasury was originally built as a mausoleum and...

One of the most famous structures in Rome is the newest part of our blog (As of now). The monument was broken in half and vandalized so much. You have probably guessed what it is by now. The Colosseum, also named the Flavian Amphitheater, is a large amphitheater in Rome. It was built during the reign of the Flavian emperors as a gift to the Roman people. Construction of the Colosseum began sometime between A.D. 70 and 72 under the emperor Vespasian. It opened almost 10 years later. The massive structure measured approximately 189 by 156 meters (620 by 513 feet), towered four stories high, included about eighty entrances which were used for different uses. Seventy-six was for the patrons, two for participants of events, and two exclusively for the emperor to use. The sheer number of entrances proved to be necessary. The Colosseum could hold more than 50,000 spectators at its maximum capacity.  When the Colosseum first opened, the emperor Titus celebrated with a hundred days of glad...

The religion of Christianity, sometimes was the cause of war ,sometimes, the solution which still echoes to us till this day . It was such a crucial part in history that it would be a shame if one of the best statues, the topic for today, was not a part of the 7 Wonders of The World. In Christian theology (way of belief for the religion), Jesus is sometimes referred to by the title, Redeemer. This was because he is considered the person who redeemed souls. You can pinpoint it in the former capital of Brazil, Rio De Janeiro, which also happens to house Estadio de Maracana.  Paul Landowski, Heitor da Silva Costa and Albert Cauqout, a sculptor and engineers respectively, built the Christ the Redeemer statue using soapstone. The face was sculpted by Gheorghe Leonida.  Construction began in 1926 (8 years after World war 1 was concluded) and was completed five years later. The resulting monument stands 98 feet tall, not including its base, which is about 26 feet high. Its outstretch...
