Ming Tombs
A major site of historic interest, the Ming Tombs were built during the Ming Dynasty and contain many relics and artifacts. The tombs were built underground and are still partially preserved. Many of them are full of gold and jewels. The Shaolin underground tomb, for example, contains a gold crown and phoenix crown and more than 5,000 pearls and valuable gems. This is the best-preserved Ming imperial tomb.
The Ming Tombs are unique because they are not just a single monument, but instead, are mausoleums separated by a mound. In this way, the tombs are not just graves, but also shrines and edifices. According to Chinese feng shui principles, the tombs were built to blend with nature and create harmony with other elements.
Chichen Itza
Located on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Chichén Itza is a vast complex of Mayan ruins. The complex’s architecture is marked by graphic stone carvings. Highlights of the complex include the Temple of Kukulcan, El Castillo, the Temple of the Warriors, and the Wall of the Skulls. The complex is also home to nightly sound and light shows, which illuminate the intricate geometric design of the buildings.
The archaeological site is easily accessible by public transportation and can be seen within a day. It is recommended to start early in the morning so that you can avoid the heat of the afternoon. The most crowded periods are weekends and school holidays. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring biodegradable sunscreen. You will also want to pack mosquito repellent.
Temple of Heaven
The Temple of Heaven is a complex of buildings that depict Heaven and Earth. There are two main axes within the temple, and the buildings on each end are arranged in a specific manner. The 메이저사이트 buildings in the inner part of the complex include the Circular Mound Altar, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest. The outer walls have semi-circular ends on the north and south, and the roof is dark blue.
The backbone of the temple is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, which was the site of emperors’ sacrificial ceremonies. It is a triple-gabled structure that rises 38 meters from the ground. It is also home to a magnificent caisson ceiling carved with nine dragons.
Circular Mound Altar
The Circular Mound Altar is one of China’s most important archaeological sites, and it is a must-see for anyone visiting the region. A large, circular firepot and accompanying altar are located in the southeast corner of the site. It is made of brick and features nine steps leading to it. Traditionally, this altar was used for worship. In one ceremony, a calf was burned with pine twigs and reeds. Silk scrolls and ceremonial placards were also placed within the fire pot. Ancients believed that the smoke rising from the firepot was a sign of heaven.
This altar was built around 1530 and rebuilt in 1749. It is surrounded by two sets of walls, one on the outside and one on the inside. The top terrace is topped with a marble balustrade.
Pyramid of Kukulkan
The Pyramid of Kukulkan, one of the major sites of Mesopotamia, was built with extraordinary ingenuity and perfection. Its shadow is reminiscent of a serpent, its entire body linking with its head at the top platform. Thousands of visitors come to witness the phenomenon, which many believe to be a manifestation of the Maya god, Kukulkan. The effect is likely to be intentional, as there are several signs that it was purposely carved. For example, the base of the stairway has large snake-head sculptures carved into it. The shadow serpent moves towards one of these sculptures.
The Pyramid of Kukulkan, also known as the Castillo (Castle), is a 24-meter-high structure that has nine levels. It is accessible by several staircases that lead up to its summit building, which has two chambers. The stairways on the pyramid’s four sides have 91 steps, making the total 365 steps. The stairways also create a cross on the base of the square pyramid.
