TOP 30 mysteries of nature, in which magic definitely intervened

<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Sea waters around the world hide ancient civilizations that amaze us with their greatness and mystique! Visiting one of them is a very interesting adventure! There are hundreds of sunken cities and settlements in the world, but we are only now beginning to discover what they can tell us about the prehistoric past of mankind.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Pavlopetri</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=462533824210652742" height="354" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Pavlopetri is the first underwater city discovered by archaeologists. Its area exceeds 30,000 square meters. The architectural remains of the prehistoric city, which are visible at a depth of about three meters, were discovered in 1904 by Fokion Negri. Scientists found a clear layout of streets and various buildings underwater. They remain in the same form in which they stood on land thousands of years ago. Incredible!</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">The city's territory lived in 3500 BC, making it one of the oldest sunken cities in the world. The city reached its peak during the early Mycenaean period (15th century BC). This is confirmed by goblets found by archaeologists for drinking wine, vases for aromatic oils, decorated with floral ornaments, and even filters that were probably used to make some kind of drink.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>A mythical Pacific civilization</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=7529524352556844" height="356" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">It turns out that mystical pyramids exist not only on the surface of the Earth but also underwater! The Yonaguni Monument, located near the southern edge of the Ryukyu Archipelago, is one of the most mysterious underwater finds. In the 1980s, local scuba diver Kihachiro Aratake discovered a monolithic step pyramid made of stone on the sea floor, which had perfectly straight angles, huge steps, and columns. In the following years, other strange structures were found in this place.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Some researchers are convinced that these are the sunken remains of the mythical Pacific civilization of Mu. According to legend, the continent on which the civilization lived was washed away by a tsunami thousands of years ago.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Others believe that Yonaguni is a natural geological formation that arose as a result of tectonic activity. Be that as it may, travelers can decide for themselves by exploring the underwater mystery on their own. Underwater tours to this amazing place are offered by many local scuba diving clubs.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Ancient Chinese city</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=434597432790281517" height="354" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">An entire sunken city is under the waters of Fuxian Lake in Yunnan Province! In 2001, an underwater archaeological team began exploring the bottom of the lake and discovered many buildings, including eight pyramid-shaped structures. The buildings are spread over an area of 6.5 square kilometers and, according to scientists, are part of the ancient kingdom of Dian, which mysteriously ended up under the waters of the lake about 2,000 years ago. Residents claim that in calm weather they can see the ruins in the water of the lake.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Baia city, Italy</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=332844228712456027" height="401" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Several centuries ago the city went underwater as a result of volcanic activity. According to one version, even in the prehistoric era, hundreds of workshops worked here, and copies of priceless statues and other historical relics were made there.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>City of Port Royal, Jamaica</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=253186810290119466" height="395" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">The legendary pirate city of Port Royal has been the most important symbol of Jamaica for almost five hundred years. The city was founded in 1518 and for many years depravity and cruelty reigned here. In 1692, an earthquake occurred on the island, resulting in the pirate city being completely submerged. Today, its ruins lie at the bottom of Kingston Harbour.</p>

5 mysterious underwater cities you can visit

<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">There are many mysteries in space. Its sheer volume, along with the trillions of objects in the many billions of galaxies in the universe, is almost incomprehensible to the human brain. But among these, there are facts that only astronauts and almost no ordinary people know. Here are 5 of the most stunning of them! You will really like it!</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>There are probably dead animals in Earthʼs orbit</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Before humans entered space in 1961, animals were sent into space to test whether future astronauts could survive the flight, and if so, how the flight might affect their health.&nbsp;You will be surprised to know that in addition to dogs, chimpanzees, mice, cats, frogs, worms, turtles, and other animals were also sent there. Some of them returned safely, and some died during the return or landing. But some flew on ships that were never found. Therefore, most likely, these dead animals are still floating somewhere on spaceships.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>A planet of diamonds</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">It was discovered in 2004. Research by scientists at Yale University suggests that the rocky planet 55 Cancri e, which has twice the radius of Earth and eight times the mass, may have a surface composed of graphite and diamond. This planet is 40 light-years away from us, but it is visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Cancer. In 2016, scientists investigated that its "light" hemisphere is in a molten state, while the dark side, on the contrary, is solid. Recent density measurements have shown that 55 Cancri e is composed mainly not of oxygen, like the inner planets of the Solar System, but of carbon. So it would be interesting to visit the planet 55 Cancri e, at least to study its core.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>It is impossible to cry in space</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Of course, nobody forbids astronauts to cry, but they physically cannot do it. Because of weightlessness, tears cannot flow down, as on Earth. The formed tears have nowhere to go, so they do not fall from the eyes. They form a conglomerate around the eyeball and remain there if not removed.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>In space, astronauts grow by 5 centimeters</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">This is a vivid example of how microgravity affects the human body. And this can be explained by the following example: when a force acts on the spring, it is compressed. When this does not happen, it stretches. The spine can also extend up to 7.6 centimeters in space, where gravity is very weak. But when the astronauts return to Earth, their height returns to normal.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Space is absolutely silent</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">It is hard to believe, but the fact is that sound needs an environment in which it can move and sound. And since there is no atmosphere in the cosmic vacuum, no melody can be heard there. Only complete silence.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Of course, these are far from all sensational discoveries from NASA. You can learn more about them in our next articles. We are sure that on our pages you will find the most exclusive information from around the world.&nbsp;</p>

Sensational 5 facts about space that only astronauts can tell

<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">About one and a half thousand thunderstorms, accompanied by thunder and lightning, rumble on our planet every minute. But there is a country where this happens most often, and there is a country in which this natural phenomenon does not happen for several years. Of course, at first glance, this may seem like an impossible fact, but nature has its whims.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">You have probably noticed the fact that thunderstorms almost always occur in the warm season when the temperature of the air above the ground rises. However, snow storms also occur in winter once every few decades. This is a very rare phenomenon because the formation of a thunderstorm requires the coincidence of a very large number of meteorological conditions.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">When an electric storm rages outside the window, you donʼt want to leave the house. And this is the right decision because thunder is usually accompanied by strong winds, heavy downpours, and lightning discharges, so leaving the house can be simply dangerous. You probably didnʼt know that the most powerful tornadoes, the rotation speed of which can, in theory, be supersonic, are formed precisely under a thunderstorm front. And the energy produced during a thunderstorm is comparable to a powerful nuclear bomb explosion. But this is only science.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">If you are very afraid of thunderstorms, you will be interested to know where they donʼt exist. The only places on our planet where this natural phenomenon does not exist are the North and South Poles. That is because an important ingredient for thunderstorm development is a flow of rising moist air that condenses into precipitation particles that generate electrical charges sufficient to trigger lightning, an ingredient that is noticeably absent at the poles.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">But in addition to these parts of the world, there is also a country where there are almost no thunderstorms. And this is Egypt. This country generally has fairly stable weather conditions all year round, except for winter. This natural phenomenon in this country can happen once every few years.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">There is another interesting fact related to the Australian Tiwi Islands. Due to the coincidence of several weather conditions, a storm cloud first forms above them and then disappears. This allows pilots of local airlines to use such a phenomenon as a reference point.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">But most often thunderstorms happen in Argentina. Because the Andes mountains help to lift warm, moist air coming from the north (from the Amazon Basin), which collides with cooler, drier air, from the south, promoting the formation of powerful storms.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Also, most lightning occurs over Lake Maracaibo. Such a conclusion was reached by climatologists from the United States and Brazil, who observed thunderstorms on Earth from a satellite for 16 years.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Well, nature is a great inventor. But remember that a thunderstorm is one of the most dangerous natural phenomena. Therefore, you should be very careful when you see that it is about to come.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">If you would like to know more facts about natural phenomena, read our articles. We have collected for you the most complete information about our amazing world.</p>
