১। Altai Region & Siberia There is much supernatural believe and practice in the far north of Siberia. Its Altai peoples are ancestors of some of today's Korean peoples and possibly some Native Americans as well. Shaman customs reign throughout segments of all these populations. The traditional belief among Scandinavian and northern Siberian peoples that a reindeer pulls the sun up each morning transmuted in Korea to become a dragon pulling up the sun each day. ২। Jerusalem - Holy City of Judaica, Muslim, and Christianity Jerusalem, the Holy City The walled area of Jerusalem, which constituted the entire city until the 1860s, is now called the Old City, and was added to the List of World Heritage Sites in danger in 1982. The Old City has been traditionally divided into four quarters, although the names used today-the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarters-were only introduced in the early 19th century. Despite having an area of only 0.9 square kilometer (0.35 square mile), the Old City is home to several sites of key religious importance: the Temple Mount and its Western Wall for Jews, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher for Christians, and the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque for Muslims. ৩। Victoria Falls – Zimbabwe Any waterfall is a sight to behold, but this one is the leading waterfall of all nations. Victoria Falls is the English name for Mosi-oa-Tunya, which translates as "the Smoke that Thunders." Some of my friends in Africa are actually offended by the English name, which suggests UK governance and dominion (form Queen Victoria). The smoke certainly does thunder here, because Mosi-oa-Tunya is the largest waterfall in the world and the massive amounts of water going over the edge booms like thunder in the uprising mists. Mosi-oa-Tunya is actually a mile wide and over 360 feet tall, twice as tall as Niagra Falls and twice the width of Horseshoe Falls. Mosi-oa-Tunya is particularly beautiful in the spring and summer. ৪। The Grand Canyon The Grand Canyon As a counselor, I was able to obtain a video that was shot from a helicopter ride up and down the length of the canyon. The film showed the colors and plant life that changed form one scene to the next. Backed by relaxing music, this video was quite a success with clients coming in for relaxation sessions. I flew over the Grand Canyon twice and was dumbfounded by its size. The plane went over a smaller canyon first, which I mistook as the Grand Canyon on my first flight and that that canyon was huge. Then went over the Grand Canyon and I was speechless. The size of the canyon made it look as though half of the earth had been shoveled out. The colors and hues are gorgeous. ON trips down into the canyon, you can see the lines of demarcation of the different archaeological historic eras and learn about the fossils in each time period. ৫। Great Pyramid of Giza The Great Pyramid of Giza The Great Pyramid is the leading pyramid in Giza near Cairo, Egypt. It is the earth's only existing structure remaining form the original Seven Wonders of the World. The Great Pyramid stands as a tomb for the Fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu, or Cheops. There is a long hallway passage inside that contains what have been said to be markings translated as predictions throughout history, up through about 2020 AD, at which point they stop abruptly. New excavations and discoveries are bringing more to light about ancient Egypt day by day. ৬। The Great Barrier Reef Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is located in Australia and is the place where Steve Irwin died in an encounter with a sting ray. However, rays do not usually harm humans and the Great Barrier Reef is still a beautiful site to visit. It is the longest coral reef in existence, a composite of 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands in the Coral Sea, off Queensland. Coral is a living organism and 400 types live in the Great Barrier Reef. All of this coral makes a home for 30 different kinds of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, among others. There are actually 5,000 types of mollusks living there and 200 species of birds. ৭। The Moon (and Earth viewed from outer space) SPACE: the Moon and Mars With space travel for tourists becoming possible, we must see the moon as soon as we can, and the earth form the moon. Privatization of space flight has entered the moon-space tourist race and fares may become affordable before mid-21st century. Already, some wealthy individuals has purchased trips to the International Space Station, so the moon is the next stop. Meanwhile, we can read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. It is a must-read story of the settle of the Luna as a penal colony and its fight for independence form Earth. ৮। Petra Petra Petra is a famous location that is still not known to many people, but in 1985 it was recognized as a World Heritage Site and important part of world history. Just in the summer of 2007, Petra was named one of New Open World Corporation's New Seven Wonders of the World. Moses reportedly struck a rock with his staff at Petra to bring forth water, so it is of religious historical importance as well. The stone carvings present in the tall rock are awe-inspiring in reds and pinks, depending on the angle of the sun.
