I would like to visit a place like Machu Picchu. It is a city of ancient America, located in present-day Peru, on top of a ridge at an altitude of 2450 meters above sea level. For me this is a very mysterious place, because here lived ancient Inca tribes. This place is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. According to legend, when the Inca rulers realized that comes the sunset of their era they turned for help to the gods. They prayed day and night sky sacrifice. In one version of the city shrouded in clouds, which killed all the inhabitants to an unknown place. Анна Тронина.

ОтветитьУдалитьThere are certain places around the world that are surrounded by mystery. I would like to visit Easter Island. Easter Island is a small, hilly, treeless island of volcanic origin. It's a very interesting place with giant statues. Scholars are unable to definitively explain the function and use of the statues. No one knows why they were built and how exactly they were carved and transported. Perhaps we will never know the truth, and so Easter Island will remain a beautiful place. Andrey Smolin

ОтветитьУдалитьFor me, the most mysterious place is Machu Picchu. I would love to visit this city. Some archaeologists believe that this city was established as a sacred mountain shelter Inca Pachacutec great ruler. Unlike many other Incan ruins it has not been damaged by Spanish invaders and many of the buildings are completelyperserved.
ОтветитьУдалитьIn 2007 the city was awarded the title of the New Wonder of the World.
I hope someday I will be able to visit this mysterious city.

I absolutely agree with the statement, people always want to discover something new. I will visit Devils Tower in the future. It's an igneous intrusion or laccolith in the Black Hills near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. Locals have always scared this weird mountain, moreover, there are strange lights appear on the top very often. The mountain attracts tourists from all around the world because of its bizarre form. Climbing Devils Tower National Monument has increased in popularity in recent years.
ОтветитьУдалитьI absolutely agree with the autor''s statement because our world would be boring without wonderful and amazing legends.
ОтветитьУдалитьI really want to visit Dracula's castle in Romania. This amazing place has become popular after the Irish writer Bram Stoker wrote the novel "Dracula". Of course, it's all a fairy tale, but still breathtaking legends about the cruel ruler of Wallachia, Vlad Tepes, who dealt cruelly with people. Many thought that the count made a deal with the Devil and after his death became a vampire, because in the middle ages it was enough to change the faith, so that you considered accursed.
Dracula's castle or the castle of bran usual place, but the mysteries and legends about the castle and the column force people to believe in the mystical power of the place. And why I don't believe in a fairy tale?

ОтветитьУдалитьOf all the places, most of all I would like to visit Tokyo. Japan is a country which has passed through the whole story.

Kailasa Temple. I would like to visit this place, because I have always been attracted to Indian culture. I think it will be interesting to feel the religion of Indians. Moreover, the photographs Kailasa Temple looks so amazing. Also, the temple is one of the most important cultural monuments in the world, because it is carved directly inside the rock. to build it took more than 150 years and a huge amount of material. I agree with the Lints statement , because desire is craving to get new emotions, learn something new, and mysteries can help with this. One of the most interesting mysteries for me is the mystery of Kailasa Temple.

I absolutely agree with this phrase. Indeed if people lived without secrets, our lives would be awful boring. There are many mysterious places in our world and they attract crowds of tourists. I would like to visit Stonehenge in England because it is one of the most famous monuments in the world shrouded with mystery. Nowadays, nobody knows why it was built but scientists consider that Stonehenge is just a small part of a larger monument which was damaged a long time ago.

I agree with the statement of Celtic folk musician. Among the many mysterious places in the world I most wanted to visit the mysterious Loch Ness in Scotland. Depth of the lake is huge - nine hundred feet! In his darkest waters turbid due to the peat bottom, people many times faced with the reptile. Loch Ness monster - one of the most popular monsters in the world. Over three thousand people have seen a monster! And really want to know - whether this is a true legend! Dream to make a good photo of the monster and get to know him!

I agree with the statement! Scientists haven't explored Milky Way yet. Physicists have already built an aerostat. A little girl can ask a desire when comet will fly in the night sky. We come up against magic every day. Our life is a wonderful collection of some interesting mysteries.
ОтветитьУдалитьWhat about me? I believe in God and I want to visit Czech Republic in the future because there are a lot of wonderful cathedrals. The Saint Vitus Cathedral is one of the most important church in the country. It is located in Praga. This Cathedral was built by Peter Parler in 1929. The Cathedral is an excellent example of Gothic architecture so this place is the biggest and beautiful! Tombs of Great Bohemian Kings are inside this Cathedral and it makes this place more exciting and mysterious!

I completely agree with this statement, because without magic our lives would be very boring. There are so many interesting places, but the only one I would like to visit - Mary King's Close in Edinburg, Scotland.
ОтветитьУдалитьThis is a very mysterious place because there was an isolated area of Edinburgh, during the plague. All infected people brought here, there was no way out, so many people died and their ghosts still inhabit here. There is also a dark legend about a girl Annie, which bricked alive in the wall of their parents. Many tourists feel the presence of her ghost and listen to her voice in their head. People bring a lot of toys and put in her room, her ghost often touched visitors on the hand, some girl can pinch on the leg.
Mary King's Close is one of the most mysterious places on earth, I would really like to visit it and feel the presence of the paranormal.
