Fairy circles are circular patches of land, barren of plants, though often encircled by a ring of stimulated growth of grass. They typically appear in the arid grasslands of the western part of Southern Africa. Fairy circles are particularly common in Namibia, but also occur in parts of Angola and South Africa.

There has long been debate about the causes of the circles. The investigation and development of theories have included numerous theories both mundane and supernatural. One favoured assumption is that the sand termite, Psammotermes allocerus is responsible, but the range of the phenomena is much wider than that of the termite species, and details of the effects vary, so to ascribe all circles to any such single cause would be unrealistic. wikipedia




4,The Atacama Nitrates






The Atacama Desert is commonly known as the driest non-polar place in the world, especially the surroundings of the abandoned Yungay town.The average rainfall is about 15 mm (0.6 in) per year, although some locations, such as Arica and Iquique, receive 1 to 3 mm (0.04 to 0.12 in) in a year.

Moreover, some weather stations in the Atacama have never received rain. Periods of up to four years have been registered with no rainfall in the central sector, delimited by the cities of Antofagasta, Calama and Copiapó, in Chile.Evidence suggests that the Atacama may not have had any significant rainfall from 1570 to 1971. wikipedia




3, Band Of Holes




Band of Holes is the name given to a series of hundreds of holes found in the Pisco Valley on the Nazca Plateau in Peru. The holes themselves lie between 13°42′59.9″S 75°52′28.46″W and 13°42′20″S 75°52′28.46″W extending for several miles in a basically north-south orientation over uneven mountain surfaces.

The holes range in size from a yard (a meter) to as much as 20 to 30 ft in diameter and vary in depth from a few inches to 6 to 7 ft.The holes are on the same plateau as the Nazca Lines, but exhibit a different construction style. wikipedia



2, Spider Rock Art




Archaeologists have discovered a rock panel in the Kharga Oasis about 175 kilometres west of Luxor in Egypt, which is believed to contain the only known example of ‘spider’ rock art in Egypt and, it appears, the entire Old World.
