Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire
against intrusions by various nomadic groups. Several walls have been
built since the 5th century BC that are referred to collectively as the
Great Wall, which has been rebuilt and maintained from the 5th century
BC through the 16th century. One of the most famous is the wall built
between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains; the majority of the existing wall was built during the Ming Dynasty.
The Weird Roswell UFO Festival
Bizarre and Weird Roswell UFO incident was the alleged recovery of
extra-terrestrial debris, including alien corpses, from an object which
crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, USA, on or about July 8, 1947. Since
the late 1970s the incident has been the subject of intense controversy
and the subject of conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the
object which crashed. The United States military maintains that what was
actually recovered was debris from an experimental high-altitude
surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named “Mogul”;
however, many UFO proponents maintain that in fact a crashed alien craft
and bodies were recovered, and that the military then engaged in a
cover-up. Roswell UFO Festival celebration involves an alien costume parade, an alien hot air balloon ride and an alien parade as well. Roswell UFO festival 2010 is scheduled on 1-4 July 2010.

drilling rig was drilling for natural gas fell into an underground
cavern resulting in a crater which today measures roughly 60 meters in
diameter and 20 meters deep. The huge crater was set alight shortly
after being discovered and has been burning ever sinse. The smell of
burning sulfur can be detected from a distance and becomes quite strong
as you near the hot edge of the crater.

methods of e.g. Carving or color like glazed-tiling, stucco and

of colors and they made use of almost all decorative schemes and
patterns which had been introduced into India following its conquest by
the Muslims. They used glazed and enamel tiling, mosaic etc. for
decorating their buildings. Glazed tiles were used mainly for exterior
decoration whereas glass mosaic and paintings embellished the interiors.
Stucco art was used in decorating mainly the interiors but exterior
surfaces have also been ornamented with success.
