As far as the mysterious and enigmatic places that are located on earth are concerned, there have been many theories that have tried to explain the phenomenon! There are many who believe that there were civilizations before us that were far more advanced and they created these sites using technology that is unknown to us (Thor much I say?). Then there are people who believe that there were no civilizations before us and whatever mysteriously lies on our planet is actually given to us by astronauts (aliens) who came from outer space and are not actually part of earth! Then there is a third kind that says that none of the aforementioned is true and that these places actually have a ritual and religious background! I am still not convinced but nonetheless, these are places that never fail to mesmerize and therefore the list!

Asim May 4, 2012

You must have seen and heard a lot of different news regarding the continent Africa. Over the period of time I have noticed that people have developed some serious misconceptions about the place and if a person mentions Africa a lot weird connotations follow that. Well, I am here to tell you that not everything you think about Africa is actually true. In fact, it might even surprise most of you. I believe that it is very ignorant of us to form particular opinions about an entire continent without ever having to research on the place ourselves. So far, media must have been the only source of information regarding Africa but I am sure if you conduct some personal research, you might end up feeling differently and that is exactly what this list intends to do for you.
