The Faces of Bayo Temple
The main highlight of the temple are the towers on which are carved stone faces. Four faces were carved on each tower. The architects arranged them so that they look in different directions.
Another interesting fact is that the faces change their moods during the day. It is because the light that falls on them at different angles. As a result, if you observe them all day long, they can be both good and evil. From time to time, they laugh, and from time to time, they are sad. Sometimes they even scare the tourists walking around the temple.

An electric bus in New York City, 1904.
Electric cars of all kinds already existed a hundred years ago and were used everywhere, but no one wanted people to have an economical personal transport with high efficiency, they needed super profits from oil, so the technology did not develop on purpose and now we are presented as something new.

Everyone knows the Great Wall of China, but for some reason few know about the Great Wall of India, which was built even earlier. This wall surrounds the fortress of Kumbalgarh, located in the west of India. It was once called the "guardian of death" or the "eyes of Mewar".
The length of the wall is about 36 km, in some places it extends up to 8 meters. Despite many attempts, the wall was never destroyed during the wars and the fortress was taken only once, and then only because of a traitor who poisoned the water at Kumbalgarh.
