MonsterYetiPyramids in EgyptStonehenge Loch ness is located in the North of Scotland. Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, was sighted as far back as the 6th century AD.
Most of the Nessie witnesses describe something with two humps, a tail, and a snakelike head. A V-shaped was often mentioned, as well as a gaping red mouth and horns or antennae on the top of the creature’s head.
Nessie’s movement have been studied, and the films and photos analyzed to determine what Nessie might be, if she exist.Loch Ness MonsterYetiThe Yeti is a mythical creature who is supposed to live in the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. Although there have been many reported sightings of the Yeti, none of them haye been documented with evidence in any way. In terms of description, the Yeti has been reported to be similar to the north-American Bigfoot and the African 2nd Gorilla.PyramidsThe great pyramid is believed to have been built over a 20 year period. The site was first prepared, and blocks of stone were transported and placed. An outer casing(which disappeared over the years) was then used to smooth the surface. Although it is not known how the blocks were put in place, several theories have been proposed. One theory involves the construction of a straight or spiral ramp that was raised as the construction proceeded. This ramp, Coated with mud and water, eased the displacement of the blocks which were pushed (or pulled)into place. A second theory suggests that the blocks were placed using long levers with a short angled foot.StonehengeStonehenge is surely Britain’s greatest national icon, symbolizing mystery, power and endurance.Some people guess that it was a temple for worship. Others claim that it was a sacred site for the burial of high-ranking citizens from the societies of long ago. However, till now, we already have no evidence to prove what it really stand for.
