Building like the Romans nowadays is a bit tricky for a few reasons. First off, we've got way fancier tech and materials than they did back in the day. Our construction methods have moved on, you know? Plus, we're big on safety and the environment these days, so our building codes are a bit more uptight than what the Romans had going on. Trying to recreate massive Roman structures, like the Colosseum, might be a logistical nightmare with all the modern red tape. And let's face it, times have changed – we've got different tastes and vibes when it comes to architecture.

Researchers recently found underground passages hidden beneath old buildings, matching designs from da Vinci’s mysterious drawings. These tunnels might have been escape routes, secret workshops, or even part of a hidden defense system. Some believe da Vinci planned them for royalty or military strategies, using his genius to create something way ahead of his time. Some of these tunnels were completely forgotten for centuries until experts finally linked them to his old sketches. Now, archaeologists are exploring deeper, hoping to uncover more of da Vinci’s lost secrets! Credit: Xpo Factory / YouTube SPIETV / YouTube CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

Have you ever noticed that pyramids are scattered all over the globe? They are found in places like Egypt, Mexico, and beyond. The reasons behind their construction vary, but there are some common threads. In ancient Egypt, pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs, symbolizing their power and authority. In Central and South America, cultures like the Maya, Aztec, and Inca built pyramids for religious and ceremonial purposes, often within temple complexes dedicated to their deities. In other regions like China and Indonesia, pyramids were constructed as tombs for rulers or religious structures, reflecting similar cultural and spiritual themes.

Ever since the humankind found out about Atlantis, we've been trying to find any traces of this impressive underwater civilization. And while the search is going on, fancy joining me on a trip to a few historic underwater sites? Let's see what we can find out about ancient civilizations! The first one on our list is what is being called the underwater Stonehenge. Next, we're taking you on a tour of the Ryukyu Islands, just off the coast of Japan.

Imagine walking through a city with huge skyscrapers, fancy homes, and empty streets—welcome to the world of ghost cities! These massive cities were built to house millions of people, but for different reasons, almost no one moved in. One of the most famous examples is Ordos City in China, built in the early 2000s during a coal mining boom. It was designed for a million people, but today, only about 100,000 live there—meaning most of it feels eerily abandoned. Many of these ghost cities were created as huge investment projects, but when people didn’t move in, they turned into empty urban jungles. Some are slowly gaining residents, while others stand as silent reminders of over-ambitious planning. Would you dare to explore one? 👀 Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Stonehenge has always been a mystery, but now there’s an even bigger puzzle—ancient houses have been found nearby, and they shouldn’t be there! 🏡🧐 Archaeologists discovered a hidden settlement near the famous stones, raising questions about who lived there and why. These houses suggest that Stonehenge wasn’t just a monument—it might have been part of a thriving community! 🏺🔥 But here’s the catch: the settlement’s age and purpose don’t fit with what we thought we knew about the site. 🤯 Could this discovery rewrite the history of Stonehenge and reveal its true purpose? Watch now and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the ancient stones! 🔎✨ Credit: The Prehistory Guys / YouTube English Heritage / YouTube The Prehistory Guys / YouTube Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

What's your favorite travel destination? Is it some beautiful European city like Paris, Rome or Athens? But have you ever noticed that European cities are much flatter than those in USA or Asia? Of course there're tall buildings in the financial districts but their number is nothing compared to those in other parts of the world. What stops Europeans from building a large number of skyscrapers and start looking like New York, for example?

There’s a secret investor who’s actually building a real underwater city right now. Yep, like something straight out of a sci-fi movie! The plan is to create a livable place deep under the ocean, with air, power, and even fancy tech to make it feel like home. Not much is known about who’s funding it, but it's supposed to be super high-tech and eco-friendly. Scientists are both excited and nervous, since living underwater could mess with marine life if it’s not done carefully. Still, if it works, this could be the start of humans living in the ocean one day!

Can you imagine living in a city where you have your own beach access to a lagoon that leads directly into the sea? That might be possible in the near future if you don't mind relocating to Sabah Al Ahmad Sea City in Khiran, Kuwait. Or maybe you'd prefer living in the Paper House, located north of Boston, Massachusetts, which is actually a house made completely out of paper and furniture? Let's take a look at the most unusual houses on our planet located in all kinds of places and conditions.

The tallest building in the world is Burj Khalifa - a skyscraper situated in Dubai. It was build right on sand! Why doesn't it sink into it? Actually the whole Dubai was built on the edge of a desert and yet it's home to over 200 skyscrapers. Let's see how skyscrapers are built in deserts and what keeps them stable and strong.

The leaning tower of Pisa is one of the most famous Instagram-able spots in the world. There are pictures of people leaning on it or pretending to support it so that it doesn't fall. But did you know there’re more leaning towers out there? I’m gonna tell you all about it. Also, you’ll find out why Venice is always flooded and why London’s Big Ben is tilting.

Did you know that medieval Bologna, Italy, was once packed with towering skyscrapers? Back in the 12th and 13th centuries, the city had nearly 100 tall, narrow towers built by wealthy families as both status symbols and defensive structures. These towers dominated the skyline, with the tallest reaching over 300 feet high! Today, only about 20 towers remain, with the iconic Asinelli and Garisenda towers standing as symbols of Bologna's rich history. And it's far from being the only place from the past with amazing secrets that will boil your brain even today. Let's dive into a journey through time - are you ready?

Underwater avalanches, or "submarine landslides," might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but they’re a real danger! 🌊 These events happen when large amounts of sediment or debris suddenly slide down the ocean floor, causing massive disturbances. The force from these avalanches can trigger huge tsunamis, traveling across the ocean and hitting coastal areas with little warning. 🌊 The scary part is that they’re hard to predict, especially because they often happen in deep, remote parts of the ocean. Scientists are studying them more to understand the risks, but the danger is real. It’s a reminder that the ocean can be as unpredictable and powerful as anything on land!
