RACUSCHEK GROT.
A mysterious cave in England.
The Shell Grotto is a spectacular underground cave located in the English town of Margit in the county of Kent. This cave houses a mosaic made of 4.6 million shells.
Discovered by accident,
its origin is still unknown.
The walls of the shell grotto are truly remarkable works of art, consisting of mosaics with Oriental and Egyptian symbols.
At this time, there is no
reliable information about who built the mosaics and what they were used for.
The mosaic may be 3,000 years old, but there are also theories that it may date back to the 18th century. Some theories suggest that the Cave of Shells is related to Freemasonry, the Knights Templar, the Phoenicians, the Romans and many others, but none have been confirmed, making it an unsolved mystery. This probably only adds to the intrigue of this grotto.

Mahabat Makbara
The fabulous mausoleum palace of Mahabat Makbara is rightly considered one of the best preserved mysteries of India. Mahabat Makbara complex is built in an incredible style. It is a mixture of Gothic and Islamic ornamentation. This striking building is the mausoleum of Vizier Bahaduddinbhai Haseinbhai, one of the main aristocrats in the court of Nawab Mahabat Khan II Jknagadha. Construction of the yellow-walled complex began in 1878 by Mahabat Khanji, and was completed in 1892 by his successor Bahadur Khanji. It took more than 10 years to build the carved exterior and interior facades, French-style windows, columns, and gleaming silver doorways. At the neighboring mosque, the minarets are surrounded by winding staircases. Both buildings are topped with distinctive "onion domes." Access to this amazing mausoleum is free. Anyone can visit the mosque. However, the mausoleum of Vizier Bahaduddinbhai Haseinbhai can only be viewed from the outside.

The Palazzo Farnese in Rome was built around 1530.
One of the decorations in the painted halls, besides the magnificent frescoes, was a detailed map of the world. The map is incredibly detailed, with riverbeds, cities, ports and landmarks.
It differs from what we are used to with Green Antarctica. on the map can everyone see? Well, Antarctica... A huge single continent made up of two Americas, where South America is connected to the flowering lands of Antarctica. And no Drake Passage!

If questions still arise as to how the pyramids were built and monuments erected in Egypt with such incredible speed, there is no need to make assumptions and complex calculations. It is enough just to believe your eyes and the artists of antiquity.
It was easy to build. For giants who were many times taller than the average human height, it was really easy.

"Baghdad Battery" - a find that keeps researchers busy
This artifact, found near Baghdad, is sometimes considered an ancient galvanic cell that was created 2,000 years before A. Volta was born. The "battery" was a 13-centimeter vessel. Its neck was filled with bitumen and an iron rod passed through it. Inside the vessel was a copper cylinder with an iron rod in it.
Wilhelm König, who found the "battery" in 1936, suggested that it could produce an electrical voltage of 1 volt. In an episode of the TV show "Legendbusters" copies of the "battery" were tested, and lemon juice was used as the electrolyte. Unbelievable but true: the experiment produced a voltage of about 4 volts.
