The Most Enigmatic Places in the World

Discovery Channel names these 3 places as the Most Enigmatic Places in the World, but there are much more mysterious sites around the world that capture our imagination because they seem to be so otherworld.

1.    Stonehenge:

Who has never heard about Stonehenge?
Stonehenge is a megalithic monument on the Salisbury Plain in Southern England, composed mainly of thirty upright stones (sarsens, each over ten feet tall and weighing up to 45 tons), aligned in a circle, with thirty lintels (6 tons each) perched horizontally atop the sarsens in a continuous circle.

Some have suggested that Stonehenge was built by Druids, but we don't really know much about the builders. The archaeology points to a construction date between 5,000 and 3,000 years ago, so it was built even before the first metal tools were used by humankind.

 2.   Nazca Lines:

Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world, they are located in the Nazca Desert, between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana in Peru. Etched in the surface of the desert pampa sand about 300 hundred figures made of straight lines, geometric shapes and pictures of animals and birds - and their patterns are only clearly visible from the air.
There are 3 mysterious aspects to Nazca Plateau:

• First, the straight lines, many kilometers long, crisscross sectors of the pampas in all directions.
• Second, many of the lines form geometric figures: angles, triangles, bunches, spirals, rectangles, wavy lines, etc.
• Third, many lines form animal patterns.

It is believed that the geoglyphs were built by a people called the Nasca- but why and how they created these wonders of the world has defied explanation. If the people who lived here 2,000 years ago had only a simple technology, how did they manage to construct such precise figures? Did they have a plan? If so, who ordained it? It all seems so otherworldly.
3.    Easter Island:

Easter Island (Rapa Nui in the indigenous language), is a Chilean-governed island in the south eastern Pacific Ocean. Rapa Nui is a small, hilly, now treeless island of volcanic origin. It's been called the most isolated inhabited territory on Earth, but there is another aspect that sets it apart from any other place on Earth - its hundreds of megalithic human-like statues that face inland from the shore. These enigmatic statues are called moai.
Almost all moais were carved out of distinctive, compressed, easily worked volcanic ash. The largest one weights up to 165 tons, and its height is almost 22 meters. Some upright moai have become buried up to their necks by shifting soils.
Some scientists suggest that Easter Island inhabitants, the Rapanui, came from Polynesia. But similarities to Indian stone statues around Lake Titicaca in South America are striking. Is this accidental or not? Scholars are unable to definitively explain the function and use of the moai statues. Some of them suggest that the statues were symbols of authority and power, both religious and political.

Most common cause of war

The war is a great problem for every nation. It does not Bering peaces only destroy. Do u know what is the common cause of war. Many people give their different comments about war.

1.     Some body thinks that religious differences  is the common cause of war. In the past 2000 years this has probably been the number 1 cause for war. Everyone wants to say their God is the right one.

2.     Some body says that territory is the common cause of war. Before organized religion, such as Christianity and Islam and Judaism, there were people fighting for territory. The Romans did not fight because they wanted to spread their religion; they faught because they wanted more land. Alexander the Great did not fight because he wanted to spread his religion; he faught because he wanted more land. Greed for land is a big thing. I feel that religion might play a part in it, but there is always the greed for power that makes someone do what they do.

3.     Some one tells that there are a myriad of causes to wars, and certain ones often appear with higher frequencies in a given period than others. This question should really be more time-dependent because it's almost hopeless to identify a cause for war that has historically been more common than others. Some causes or inspirations for conflict can also be diluted; one could say the Romans and Alexander fought for territory and glory, not just either or, and maybe that they had other reasons as well. Often that's the case: there's rarely a single reason, but a coalescence of factors that generally accrue over time.

4.     Some gentleman tells that, people+religion =land+resources.

5.     I want to add one thing more that is Love. Love is one of the cause of war. The Tory city distorted due to Love.

A war began because of a dog

The Greco-Bulgarian Conflict also known as The War of the Stray Dog occurred in 1925 when a Greek soldier allegedly ran after his dog, which had strayed across the border from Macedonia. The border was guarded by Bulgarian sentries, and one of them shot the Greek soldier. Given the tense political climate, escalation was inevitable; in response, the Greek dictatorial government under General Theodoros Pangalos sent soldiers into Bulgaria. Bulgaria ordered its troops to provide only token resistance, trusting the League of Nations to settle the dispute.

The League did indeed condemn the Greek invasion, and called for both Greek withdrawal and compensation to Bulgaria. Greece ceded to this demand and was imposed a fine of £45,000. Over 50 people were killed before Greece complied. Greece complained about the disparity between its treatment and that of Italy in the Corfu incident in 1923, when the Italian armed forces occupied the Greek island of Corfu in retaliation for the murder of Italian general Enrico Tellini by bandits while surveying the Greek border with Albania.

Do you want to be a rich man?!

There are essentially two different ways that you can make a million dollars: the easy way and the hard way.

The Easy Way :

**The simplest way to become a millionaire is to choose the right parents and/or grandparents. Paris Hilton of the Hilton Hotel chain fortune "chose" this route, as did Jamie Johnson of Johnson & Johnson and many others. Since our lineage and the occasional corresponding trust funds are usually out of our control, most of us can't take advantage of this method.

**If you're incredibly lucky or have a knack for trivia, you might have a chance at winning the lottery, hitting it big in Las Vegas or winning a load of cash on a game show. But those methods may or may not throw you into the millionaire circle. Plus, with the Las Vegas approach you may find that you're hooked and subsequently lose your fortune on your next boondoggle.

**If you have extreme athletic talent, you stand a slim chance of making millions as a professional athlete. LeBron James, who went straight from high school to the NBA, got a $90 million contract from Nike before he had even played a single professional basketball game.

**Bill Gates has the best of both worlds. Not only is Bill Gates an ambitious and extremely successful entrepreneur, he also had the cushion of a million-dollar trust fund to fall back on -- just in case. Most ordinary people don't have that kind of luck, but that didn't stop over 7 million people from becoming millionaires anyway.

 The Harder Way:
**Even if you're not a trust-fund baby and aren't the luckiest person around, you can still make it big. As we mentioned earlier, most millionaires are self-made, ordinary people very much like you. But they set a goal to become a millionaire -- or at least a goal to achieve financial freedom. In order to achieve their goals, most of them started their own businesses simply because it's difficult to earn enough money to become a millionaire when you're working for someone else. Instead, you're making them a millionaire.

**Nothing is a sure thing. But if you want to really have a chance at making a million dollars then working for yourself is one of the best ways. Of course, starting your own business means taking a risk, but it may not be the risk we've always thought it to be. According to an article at Business.com, the old saying that nine out of 10 new businesses fail just isn't true. The author, Dan Kehrer, says that "a review of businesses gone bust by StartupJournal.com, a Dow Jones & Co. division, shows that the number of outright business failures in the United States is highly exaggerated".

**The article also explains that about one-third of business closures that government statistics assume to be failures are actually successful businesses. Their owners simply sold off pieces of the business or closed them to retire or pursue other activities.

**Data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Business Tracking Series show about 65 percent of new businesses still operating after four years. Another recent study estimates that only 10 percent of the nation's 5.5 million small businesses (not counting solo operators) close each year.

**With this outlook for success, maybe starting that new business isn't such a risk after all. If you do fail, just remember that with each failure comes experience and knowledge to help the next venture succeed. Many self-made millionaires failed at businesses before they got it right. And each time they failed, they learned a lesson for their next business idea.

None can be a rich man without hard working.

I mean

No pain no gain.

Love

Love is the most beautiful of all emotions in our life. It has got a very broad meaning. To name a few, you love your life, your friends, your family, your neighbours, reading books, enjoying hobby, your children, the nature, having food, performing arts, listening to music, travelling, etc. Sometimes you may love to be in total silence. Therefore, there is no short definition for love. More and more you experience love, more and more the definition expands. When you experience life you will experience love.

Again love can be define as:

Love is the purest thing in this world, so, it is equal to God. I feel when you love someone, you give your all, for that person, you will do what is best for that person, you will compromise your anger, your career, your ego, all, for that person. A tip: If you are resting in a room, and somebody comes inside and puts up a sheet on you, that person surely loves you.

Some body tells that love means:

L - loss
O - of
V - valuable
E - education

Still now I do not know what is the real meaning of love. Do u know?

What a scarification !!!

19-yr-old Imran sacrificed his life to save two Hindu boys

19-year-old Imran sacrificed his life while saving two Hindu boys in Ranipur village of Siwan district. He drowned but before that he was able to save the boys in the pond near his home.

It was 1.30 pm of a humid after noon at Ranipur on September 1, 2010 when Imran returned to his home from Siwan city after buying clothes and shoes for himself to celebrate Eid, but God had written something else in his destiny.
Within five minutes after he arrived home, he heard some boys screaming in the pond near his home. Imran reached the spot in no time. He didn’t know swimming and he was fasting too, but he couldn’t see boys dying in front of him. The brave Imran jumped into the pond to save the two boys who were screaming for help. He saved both of them but unfortunately he lost his own balance and went into deep water and couldn’t pull himself out.
Villagers started search operation but they couldn’t trace him for an hour. They again searched for him, finally found him. They took him out of the pond and rushed him to nearby hospital but the doctors there declared him “brought dead”.
Imran was the elder son of Mr. Sultan Ahmed and he was a ray of hope for his poor family. Just a few months back he had completed his draftsmanship course and was planning to seek a job in gulf countries to help his family. He had applied for Passport last week only.
The residents of Ranipur and all other nearby villages are in shock at this heart breaking incident.
Imran’s funeral prayer was attended by a big crowd and the brave son of Ranipur was buried in the village Kabristan.
The villagers hope the Bihar government will forward Imran’s name for Indian National Bravery Award and Jeevan Raksha Padak. 
 

U.S. Soldier Gives Life to Save Afghan Girl

It is a compelling war-zone story of heroism of a U.S. soldier who gave his own life to save an Afghan girl from certain injury.
Sgt. Dennis Weichel, 29, died in Afghanistan last week as he lifted an Afghan girl who was in the path of a large military vehicle barreling down a road.
Weichel, a Rhode Island National Guardsman, was riding along in a convoy in Laghman Province in eastern Afghanistan when some children were spotted on the road ahead.
The children were picking up shell casings lying on the road. The casings are recycled for money in Afghanistan.  Weichel and other soldiers in the convoy got out of their vehicles to get them out of the way of  the heavy trucks in the convoy.
The children were moved out of the way, but an Afghan girl darted back onto the road to pick up some more casings that lay underneath a passing MRAP, or Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle.  The huge armored trucks can weigh as much as 16 tons and are designed to protect the troops they carry from roadside bombs.
Weichel spotted the girl and quickly moved toward her to get her out of the way.  He  succeeded, but not before he was run over by the heavily armored truck.  The girl was safe, but Weichel later died of his injuries.  He had arrived in Afghanistan  a few weeks ago and had been a member of the Rhode Island National Guard since 2001.


“The World needs such type of hero very much”.
