10 Places You Didn't Know Existed

Updated on April 18, 2014

The world is the second largest planet within orbit, bearing a surface area 196,939,900 square miles. Although many believe the earth is very small, it is truly very large, and for that reason many are unaware of some of the most unusual places, upon it. For that reason, I have made a top ten list of what I believe is some of the most unusual places. But you should not take my word for it, I don't know all that are out there, nor do I know the history that surrounds that area. Feel free to leave comments, of your favorite places. Who knows I might just mention it in the future.

1. Anti Gravity Secret of coral castle

Source

For thousands of decades, man has questioned not only the placement, but the construction in which the great pyramids were once constructed. Possible the answer, could be located within the United States, or more pacifically in Homestead, Florida. Edward Leedskalnin, was a short man who stood merely five feet tall, and weighed less than a sack of potatoes. But none the less, Edward was a marvelous man, and a great architect, that had spent time, money, and little strength, to build a marvelous wonder. For in Homestead, stands Coral Castle, a divine wonder that Edward had constructed by himself. Many have wondrous how Edward, had achieved such a stunt, considering the coral weighed at the lest eleven hundred ton's per piece. The placing of the stones accrued because of nothing more than simple man-made tool's. One of the more fabulous wonders, of Coral Castle, is a revolving door that is so easy to move, that a young child could easily push it. Edward, was a devoted 33 degree stone Freemason, who had devoted his life to his masterpiece. He kept his secrets by working at night, and by himself, although occasionally a fellow brother might go with him, but just to on look. One night a fellow brother had accompanied him, with his black and white reeled camera. One of these photo's shows Edward working, and lifting the coral stones. By nothing more than three telephone poles, which was at one time connected to a chain hoist. Upon the top of the host, sat a small wooden box. Coming out of the box is a wire cable, drooping down, towards the ground. What was inside of the box remains a mystery, but what is known is that there was steps, up to the box. There was one other photograph, of Edward inside of a building that consisted of magnets. This photograph, leaves us with puzzlement, until we read Edwards book upon magnetic current. Within Edwards book, he speaks of the world being based off of each magnet. Edward believed that the center of the earth, has a magnetic charge,which allows objects to get held down, through south and north pole magnets. By turning these magnets off, it would be dismantling gravity. Is this how the pyramids, and coral castle had at one time been built ? No one will ever know.....

This bunker, was first built for the king of England, along with his noble servants, and trusted government officials, or up to 4,000 individuals at one time. Evidence remains such as, office chairs, and type writers, are left untouched, from the first day they had arrived.. According to BBC " The bunker appears normal, on top. But once you get bellow it's a village".

5. Pluto's Gates To Hell

In March of 2013, an archaeological site had finally been located within southwest Turkey, this site is known as the gates of hell. The gates of hell was only known to exist within Greek mythology, as a type of portal, into the underworld. During the reign of the Greek empire, it would have been almost similar to Hell, and for that reason,we acknowledged this site as the gates of hell. This spot once produced noxious fumes, and although time has progressed, it still gives off these noxious fumes. These fumes are so strong, that if a bird flies through it, the bird will instantly fall to the ground and die.

The year of 1986, would start with joyful opportunities, or at lest for those who lived in Pripyat, a city within the SSR. This joyful attitude was due to the job market increasing, through the new nuclear power planet. But that joy would end abruptly, as of April 26, 1986, for upon that reactor number four had suffered a catastrophic power increase, which lead to explosions within the inner core, which had caused it to melt. Immediately after, a very large-sized whole, was penetrated through the side of the building. This blast of radiation, rapidly spread across the western region of the soviet union, and parts of Europe. According to specialist, this area will remain unsafe for 20,000 years.
