The Forbidden City: Located in Beijing, China, this city was an exclusive use unit of the Chinese Imperial Palace at one time, which housed several generations of Chinese emperors for 24 years. It is located in the center of old Beijing since 1404, and was used as the seat of the Chinese government until 1911.
It was called the Forbidden City because Chinese emperors were considered “gods”, for that reason it was not allowed to approach them, so entering this city was a privilege that required a special permit. In addition, there is a legend that relates this city to astronomy and Chinese ancestral philosophies that started from the premise that it was a place where there could be an interaction between the divine and the human thing, which is why it is considered one of the places with amazing stories in the world.
Starting from the relationship between the divine and the human thing, the structure was built in an area of about 72,000 m2, in which 800 buildings with more than 9000 rooms were erected, so UNESCO declared it as a World Heritage Site in 1987.
The legend of Loch Ness: Located in the north of Scotland, it is one of the most famous places in the world for its amazing stories, and although it is a quiet lake with a depth of about 200 meters and an area of about 50 km of surface, its fame is basically due to a legend of a monster that walked through that area and that come out from the lake, which was named “Nessie”.
The truth is that story after story the monster Nessie became famous, as well as the lake where it is said that it came out from thanks to a publication made in 1933 by the Inverness Courier, making that from that date this place is considered one of the most mysterious and visited in the world.
The Nazca lines and geoglyphs: They are located in the Nazca desert, Peru, and they were seen for the first time and in 1939 by an American archaeologist who was doing an aerial route to the south of Peru because he was studying the old irrigation systems. Thus, he discovered these lines that can only be seen from the sky, and although its authorship is not precise yet, it is clear that they date from the first century after Christ.
It is one of the places with amazing stories because the lines and figures that were drawn with such precision on a flat terrain of enormous measures are very difficult to distinguish on the surface, so it is believed that for its elaboration deep mathematical knowledge were needed, for which in turn the previous making of a smaller scale model was needed.
The mysterious and spectacular thing of the find earned it the distinction of UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1994, and has made it one of the most visited places with amazing stories in Peru.
Stonehenge: Located in Salisbury, England, these gigantic stones have been considered as one of the most mysterious megalithic monuments that there is on the planet, hence its importance from the historical, anthropological and archaeological point of view.
