The writing of this article my given wanderlust ! I would start with China, India and then I will go to Jordan. Then I leave Asia and its colors to visit the mysterious Mayan city through the peaks of Machu Picchu in Peru and I would end my trip to Rome . But since I do not have time or money or teleportation machine (it will not be long), I will be content to share with you his sublime photos.
1. Asia: How long is the Great Wall of China?
This wall is over 6000 km long ! To give you an order of idea is roughly the distance between Paris and Turkmenistan . It is today the greatest architectural achievement in the world and is visible to the naked eye from space !
2. Middle East: Petra, the commercial hub
Between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea , Petra is a city entirely cut in the rock . It was located on the way of caravans carrying incense, spices, silks and others. During its heyday , it welcomed nearly 25,000 inhabitants.
3. America: Christ the Redeemer
The famous statue of Rio! Overlooking the city, it is 38 meters high and weighs 1,145 tons ! The idea was to show that Christ loves us all and watches over the city. The stones of this statue come , I give you a thousand , from Sweden ! And the ecology in all this?
4. America: Machu Picchu, the Inca City
On the eastern slopes of the Andes , in the heart of the Peruvian mountains , lies a city full of wonder and mystery . This city abandoned by the Incas during the Spanish conquest is one of the most beautiful architectural creations .
5. America: Chichen Itza, the Mayan-Toltec city
Chichen itza is a Hispanic city containing the main religious center of the Mayan and Toltec peoples . They engraved their visions of the world on the stone.
6. Europe: The Colosseum
The coliseum is the largest amphitheater built by the Roman Empire . It was used for fighting wild animals , the gladiator fights and executions.
7. Asia: Taj Mahal: The Crown Palace
ताजमहल or تاج محل or " Palace of the Crown " or Taj Mahal is a mausoleum built in India by a Muslim Mughal emperor in memory of his wife . Incidentally, she died giving birth to their 14th child ... In my opinion, he did not ride in minivan . This sublime building of white marble brings together architectural pieces of Iranian , Islamic , Ottoman and Indian origin .
There are so many legends , myths and stories around the Taj Mahal , I'll tell you maybe some of them another day
