According to experts, most mysterious sites around the world were created by ancient civilizations, with the help of advanced knowledge and technology, possibly more advanced than our current one.

Some do not believe that there was any so much advanced ancient civilization on earth and ancient astronauts who came down from heaven handed all of the superb knowledge down to us. Other scientists do not believe the above stated ideas, and they try to explain ancient enigmas on the ground of religion and ritual.

According to Discovery Channel there are 3 places, which are the Most Enigmatic Places in the World. But aside from that there are so many other places around the world that capture our imagination because they seem to be so mysterious.

Stonehenge

Stonehenge is one of the most popular mysterious places in the world.

It’s a megalithic monument on the Salisbury Plain in Southern England. It’s composed of 30 upright stones, which are called sarsens, each stone is ten feet tall with more 45 tons weight; they are aligned in a circle with 30 lintels (each lintel weight is 6 tons) perched horizontally atop the sarsens in a continious circle. Inside the outer circle there another circle composed of similar stones and constructed in same fashion.

Travel Ideas for 2010: Atacama Desert Safari in Chile

by enXiApril 3, 2009 Holiday Destinations

It’s amazing to note that although certain portions of the Atacama Desert have not seen a single drop of rain ever since record keeping began, more than a million people reside in this 600 miles (1000 km) parched stretch of land. The desert rises upwards into a plateau from Chile’s thin coastal shelf and its center lies, what scientists call absolute desert, Earth’s driest place. Nothing lives there, nothing rots, and everything is preserved by the extreme lack of moisture.
