Mystery of Easter Island

Easter Island is an island in the South Pacific is owned by Chile. Easter Island is one of the most isolated inhabited islands in the world. The island is located between Tahiti and Chile, and gained international popularity because of remarkable colossal statue shaped the human face. The number of statues on Easter Island around 900 pieces (large and small). Each sculpture is about 4 meters to 10 meters, weighing about 14 tons to 84 tons, and is made of volcanic stone. The island was discovered by Dutch navigator Jakob Roggeveen, in 1722 precisely on Easter Sunday. This is why this island called Easter Island. The existence of silent rows of statues on the island making it one of interesting tourist sites owned by Chile. Statues was founded by the Rapa Nui people of the 10th century and the 16th century AD. Collection of ancient wonders is still not fully understood.

When you come here, you can see Ahu Tahai. Ahu (ceremonial platform) at Tahai be near a boat ramps are made of rounded beach stones and is thought to be one of the earliest Ahu structures on the island, which comes from 690 AD. There was also Ahu Tongariki where 15 of the famous Moai statues standing in military ranks over the flat stone pulpit. Or you can visit the Rano Raraku which is a volcanic crater. Here, you can find the famous Moai statues made of volcanic rock and scattered on the slopes in various stages of completion. There is also Rano You. When you climb to the top of the mountain as high as 400 meters, the panorama of silence in the South Pacific islands will be able to enjoy. Another place that should also be visited is Orongo. Orongo is a stone village and ceremonial center on the southwestern tip of Easter Island.

Easter Island also has very few trees. There are many assumptions made, but according to a scientific theory is, when people set foot on this island, they cut down trees to make houses, fire, and move the huge stone statues. Residents of this area has created many statues of various sizes, and they have to move, so they need lots of wood. That's why a growing number of illegal forest felling. The result is erosion, which caused crop failure in agriculture, and causing food shortages. Then the clans on the island, began robbing each other to occupy farmland and vied with each other foodstuffs. So much hard and dangerous life.

In fact, much evidence also suggests that eating one another clan in hopes to create strength and reduce hunger. Before the time of extinction, many people who tried to escape from the island, but all desperate. No more wood to make boats. Today, this island has about 2770 people. They are considered descendants of the ancient Polynesian ethnic groups, but in fact they have no blood ties, they are the ones who could come in the same mission. Culture and life on Easter Island are fully destroyed. But the stone walls remain. And perhaps in memory of those who created him, the stone statue still stood quietly as extreme challenges of life on the island that the ancient inhabitants of Easter can not be done well.

The best time to visit Easter Island from December to February, coincidentally at the peak of their summer. It will also allow you to enjoy Tapati Festival which usually takes place in the last week of January and first week of February. If you go from October to November or March to April you can expect to have the island to yourself but be prepared for lower temperatures and lack of flight availability. Other things to remember is that there is no safe drinking water outside the village, so be sure to pack enough supplies when you head for the day. On your flight to the island be sure to stock up on cash, either the original currency of the Chilean peso or U.S. dollar, because you'll be hard pressed to find someone willing to take the credit card once you arrive at this place.


Chile hopes strange picture of the mysterious island is the driving force to attract tourists, so that Easter Island was no longer lonely, and no longer isolated from the world. There are various theories about the origin and meaning statues, including one of which is a fantastic theory which says that the statue on Easter Island was created by a UFO. But, until now the truth of any theory that there has not been revealed. Until recently, Easter Island is still a mystery and continues to challenge the interpretation of the scientists.

The Most Beautiful Ruins In The World

The ruins of Chichen Itza Complex remind you return to the era of the Mayan empire. Mayan empire, is the center of all civilization Yucutan, the powers of the political, religious, and military. Navigating the complex of Chichen Itza, makes you feel like investigating the mysteries that lie at each corner. Chichen Itza in the Indian language means "the mouth of the well Itza". Chichen Itza is the most visited by tourists, from two archaeological sites in Mexico. Pyramid of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza, which is known as "El Castillo" (castle), is one of the wonders of the world with a height of 24 meters. In addition to the Pyramid of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza there are many other archaeological sites to visit, which all carry traces of the Maya Culture. Chichen Itza, located in the Peninsula of Yucatan, in the State of Yucatan, Mexico, between Valladolid and Merida and is 120 kilometers from Merida. Chichen Itza, on July 7, 2007, was selected as one of the seven wonders of the world chosen by 100 million people via email and sms (short message service) held by the Swiss Foundation.

Mayan Cultural Center
According to the Mayan culture, from the Chilam Balam, the temple complex was built between the years 502-522 AD. The Mayans only occupied for 200 years, then they move to coastal areas in Campeche. Yet another version says, Chichen Itza was built around 800 years BC. Pyramid of Kukulcan at this historic site complex, believed to be the center of political and economic activities Mayan civilization in Yucatan Peninsula (now the territory of Mexico). Chichen Itza is the central point of a complex of other buildings, such as the Pyramid of Kukulcan, Temple of Chac Mool, and building the Thousand Pillars. In the complex of Chichen Itza, there are two cenotes (natural wells) is used as a place to put sacrifice. That said, the Maya Indians who inhabited the city was offering jade, ceramics, and even humans to be included in the well. The offerings were given when the drought struck. This temple complex is quite wide and each temple separated from each other with each other. In the middle stands the temple of El Castilo (Palace) a complete renovation. The shape of the pyramid, only the roof blunt. El Castilo see the temple, reminding us of the temple Sukuh (controversial temple) in Solo, Indonesia.

Chichen Itza is one part of the new seven wonders of the world. A place that is located in Yucatan, Mexico This is a Mayan archaeological site of the most popular relics visited by foreign tourists. When viewed from the form of architecture, buildings in the area of Chichen Itza is the result acculturation architectural art of the Maya and Toltec cultures. Toltec itself is the designation for the nation that inhabits an area in Tollan, 45 Kilometers north of Mexico City. According to history, the famous Toltec Nation more cruel than the Aztec Nation, The Aztecs had invaded the area of Chichen Itza, around the year 800 AD. Chihen Itza ruins the rest of civilization itself is the most impressive Mayan who can enjoy the beauty today. Mayan pyramid El Castillo, which is also located at Chichen Itza are often touted as the second building of the famous pyramids of Egypt after the Pyramids. However, different from the architecture of the Egyptian pyramids, Mayan pyramids is not a pyramid-shaped cone, because at peak there is a flat field that is used as a place of their rituals. All around, we can see the stairs four places, which each amounted to about 91 stairs, and there is one more rung on the top, so all amounted of 365 stairs. Building height reached 24 meters, whereas the peak area is used to put offerings as high as 6 meters.

Similar in Indonesia
That is quite surprising is the book An overview of the MAYAN world by Prof. Gualberto Zapata Alonzo, published in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, in 2002. Prof. Alonzo said, art and religious consciousness there are similarities with the Maya in Indochina and Indonesia. Temples of Tikal in Guatemala there are similarities with the pyramids Naksei Chan Crong in Angkor, Cambodia. The temple in Palenque, Mexico there are similarities with the Ajanta temples in India. Religious symbols and myths of animals similar to the Maya in Java and Southeast Asia. In the Mahabharata and the Ramayana there is a tribe with Maya.Pada call the Hindu religion, there is also a god named Maya. Not only there similarities between the two cultures and the Maya peoples of Asia. But in architecture there is also a close relationship, especially the concept of the pyramid.

Chichen Itza is one of The Most Beautiful Ruins In The World. Often the ruins are now left as they are to retain the beauty that exists and eventually become a beautiful tourist attraction. The ruins are there often is a testament to the splendor of the nation's history who built the original places that exist. From the ruins, often historical facts we can find from a variety of goods that you can still find there. In addition to Chichen Itza, there are still many beautiful ruins of the world, like Machu Picchu (Peru), Babylon (Iraq), Palenque (Mexico), Ayutthaya (Thailand), Colosseum (Italy), Tikal (Guatemala), Prambanan and Borobudur (Indonesia) , and others.

Mystery
History Stories Mysterious Bermuda Triangle

Then how can one assume that this busy place to be so feared? Well, the story is when Christopher Columbus first sailed through the region on the voyage to the four of them, then he saw a large fire in the sky and the compass on his ship did not function properly. But is really like that happen? let us see the note at the time of Columbus, which is dated December 5, 1502 in Bermuda waters.

On 5 December 1502, Columbus and his crew found themselves in a storm unlike any they had ever experienced. In his journal Columbus writes.

For nine days I was as one lost, without hope of life. Eyes never beheld the sea so angry, so high, so covered with foam. The wind not only prevented our progress, but offered no opportunity to run behind any headland for shelter; hence we were forced to keep out in this bloody ocean, seething like a pot on a hot fire. Never did the sky look more terrible; for one whole day and night it blazed like a furnace, and the lightning broke with such violence that each time I wondered if it had carried off my spars and sails; the flashes came with such fury and frightfulness that we all thought that the ship would be blasted. All this time the water never ceased to fall from the sky; I do not say it rained, for it was like another deluge. The men were so worn out that they longed for death to end their dreadful suffering.

New Theory, Methane Gas Causes Number of Ships Lost in the Bermuda

Mystery of the loss of several ships and aircraft in the area called the "Bermuda Triangle" now raises a new theory. Bermuda Triangle is a common phenomenon of acute gas, according to a Salem-News.com. Natural gas, as gas produced by boiling water. Primarily methane, is the prime suspect behind the loss of several aircraft, and ships. Evidence of the invention which brings a new angle to the mystery that has haunted the world for many years was contained in the report of the American Journal of Physics. Of the two research hypotheses were giant balloons methane gas out of the ocean floor that cause most (not saying all) of mysterious accidents at that location.

Methane is usually frozen under a layer of underground rock, get out and turn into a gas balloon geometrically enlarged when he moves to the top. When it reaches the surface of the water, gas-filled balloon that will continue to grow upward and outward. This theory was successfully tested in the laboratory and the results satisfy some people on a reasonable explanation about the mysterious disappearance of planes and ships that pass in the region. According to Bill Dillon of the U.S. Geological Survey, water-white glow that was it. In the Bermuda triangle of death and also in several other areas along the coastal edge of the continent, there is a "mine methane". Each ship is trapped inside a giant helium balloon that will directly waver and sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the balloon was large enough and have enough density, then the aircraft could be hit by a fall by it. Aircraft that is trapped in a giant balloon of methane, likely suffered engine damage due to methane and immediately covered by the adoptive power loss.
