Iron pillar of Delhi
The iron pillar of Delhi The Iron Pillar located in Delhi , India, is a 7 m (23 ft) column in the Qutub complex , notable for the rust-resistant composition of the metals used in its construction. The pillar has attracted the attention of archaeologists and metallurgists and has been called "a testament to the skill of ancient Indian blacksmiths" because of its high resistance to corrosion . [ 1 ] The corrosion resistance results from an even layer of crystalline iron hydrogen phosphate forming on the high phosphorus content iron, which serves to protect it, and also the effects of the local Delhi climate, which alternates from wet to dry. [ 2 ] The name of the city of Delhi is thought to be based on a legend associated with the pillar ( see History of Delhi ).

31 Architectural Wonders of the Ancient World
Have you ever wondered what unknown stories might lie behind the relics of ancient civilizations? Here are 31 of the most impressive—and yet often still mysterious—architectural wonders from the distant past. They include the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Egyptian Labyrinth, Easter Island, and more. I've also posted the fascinating tales behind a few of these monuments. It all comes from the Amazeing Art: Wonders of the Ancient World book, which contains 31 mazes and essays.The Ménec alignments, the most well-known megalithic site among the Carnac stones Stones in the Kerlescan alignments The Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the French village of Carnac , in Brittany , consisting of alignments , dolmens , tumuli and single menhirs . The more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre- Celtic people of Brittany , and are the largest such collection in the world. [ 1 ] Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac , but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer . The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC , but some may date to as old as 4500 BC. [ 2 ]

The Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunna , Anunnaku , Ananaki and other variations) are a group of deities in ancient Mesopotamian cultures (i.e. Sumerian , Akkadian , Assyrian , and Babylonian ). The name is variously written " d a-nuna", " d a-nuna-ke 4 -ne", or " d a-nun-na", meaning something to the effect of "those of royal blood" [ 1 ] or "princely offspring". [ 2 ] Their relation to the group of gods known as the Igigi is unclear – at times the names are used synonymously but in the Atra-Hasis flood myth the Igigi are the sixth generation of the Gods who have to work for the Anunnaki, rebelling after 40 days and replaced by the creation of humans. [ 3 ] Jeremy Black and Anthony Green offer a slightly different perspective on the Igigi and the Anunnaki, writing that "lgigu or Igigi is a term introduced in the Old Babylonian Period as a name for the (ten) "great gods".

Black Mountain (Kalkajaka) National Park is a 781 hectare [ 1 ] protected area in the Queensland , ( Australia ), 25 km south west of Cooktown . It is managed and protected as a national park under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 . The main feature of the park, besides the many disappearances, is the mass of granite boulders, some the size of houses. Between the boulders and rocks is an absence of soil so that gaps penetrate inside the mountain. [ 2 ] These rocks can become extremely hot. The area has a bad reputation as numerous people and those searching for the missing have disappeared without trace.

Popol Vuh (The Mayan Bible)
with its’ first inhabitants was destroyed by a great disaster. The water, the stillness, the disorder and the darkness that we see in Genesis 1:2 is the result of the first destruction by whatever means. From Genesis chapter 1, verse 2 forward, we read of a new creation , the creation of our present world. As to the previously posed question of “light”, may I suggest that as the clouds of water vapor from the first destruction dissipated, that the sun, moon, and stars of verse 14, once again cast their previous life giving light and warmth over the surface of this planet we call “home”. All of this has been said in order to give credibility to the possibility that much of the cosmogenesis found in the Popol-Vuh may in fact, have a basis in truth. In a writing of such antiquity, it is impossible to accurately separate history from legend.
