Mangup Kale is the biggest cavern fortress on the Crimean peninsula. It is located at the top of Mangup Mountain that stands above three picturesque valleys. The plateau, located at the height of almost 600 meters (1,968 feet) above the sea level, has a peculiar form: from above, it looks like a palm with four capes acting as ‘fingers.’ Nature made this area impregnable: on three sides, the plateau is framed by steep precipices, and on the fourth – a deep ravine. According to the 6th-century Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea, the region of Dory or Doros was settled by those Ostrogoths who refused to follow Theodoric the Great in his invasion of Italy in the 490s, marking the beginning of the Crimean Goths and their homeland, Gothia.But,many things indicating that it was built much earlier.

El Fuerte De Samaipata is regarded by most academics to be the creation of a relatively primitive culture called the Chane who arrived from the Amazon jungle 2000 years ago and sculpted this red sandstone mountaintop…highly unlikely. I contend that it was created using advanced technology far deeper in the past, and hence am writing...

At its peak, around 200 AD, Teotihuacan counted a population of well over 125,000, boasted hundreds of temples and palaces, and three massive pyramids named after the Sun, the Moon, and the Feathered Serpent (itself a symbol of the planet Venus). The ruins of what is often called the Rome of America, Teotihuacan, lie a mere 50 km (31 miles) North-East of modern day Mexico City.
The Lajedo de Pai Mateus is a rock formation located in the city of Cabaceiras, in the state of Paraíba (Brazil).Unfortunately ,i could`t find any information about this giant megalithic wall,how old it is and who built it.If anyone have any knowledge and informations about,please share it in comment.

Revisiting some archives and thought I'd give this one a once over. Going back to March last year, early one morning I took a drive out to Stanage, as I was unable to sleep. Little did I know back then that this would turn out to be one of many to come. www.peak-exposure.co.uk
One of the lesser known but very fascinating ancient locations in Bolivia, near the town of Santa Cruz, Samaipata is believed by most academics to have been shaped by a relatively primitive culture from the Amazon jungle, later embellished by the Inca.

The Qanat (Kariz) of Kish or Aqueduct of Kish dates back to 2500 years ago and is one of historical places in Kish island , Iran .The Qanat is located 16 m under the ground and its ceiling is covered by oysters and corals . It’s vastness is over 10000 square meters. Nowadays the qanat is changed to an underground city. author of photo: alirezaseydabady author of photo: alirezaseydabady Before the Roman aqueduct, the people of pre-Islamic Iran had developed their own hydraulic system called a qanat. A qanat is a series of vertical wells, built along a gentle slope to filter water toward arid areas. The Kish Qanat is an excellent example of this ancient technology and provides visitors with an opportunity to get face to face with the infrastructure of this amazing hydraulic system. The Kish Qanat is over 2,500 years old and filters water from the mountains to the dry valleys below through layers of the coral that comprise the island’s foundation. Kish is one of the only islands in the world that is made up of coral, and tunneling into the earth there allows for a unique look at the usually underwater specimen. Sixteen meters below the coral island, a series of tunnels near the wells snake through the earth for more than five miles. As the tunnels cut below the world, the Kish Qanat begins to look more like a massive underground city. Lately, architects hoping to draw tourists to the attraction have embraced that idea even more. Along with the historic coral walls around the qanat, workers have reinforced the tunnels with mortar and stone to create a subterranean world. Soon, visitors can peruse an update on the early hydraulic system that will feature vendors selling typical Iranian gifts along with a few subterranean restaurants and an amphitheater. Strangely enough, the unique historic element of the island is slowly mimicking its inner tourism side. author of photo: alirezaseydabady Sources: http://www.persiantourismguide.com/ http://www.atlasobscura.com/
