The greatest religious places

These projects play a significant role in each type of religion. In addition to their religious functions, these works today are the wonders of the world. Below is a list of the new religious works that are considered the greatest.

1. Pantheon Temple

Pantheon Temple, 'All gods' , is one of the best preserved Roman buildings. A temple used to exist on this site for many years, however the temple we see today was designed by Emperor Hadrian in 126 AD. This work was turned into a Christian church in the 7th century.

The front of the temple looks like a roof of a classic Roman temple gate, supported by pillars. Usually the Roman temples must be admired from the outside to be beautiful, but Patheon is different, its inside is highly appreciated. Behind the roof is a circular dome. In the middle of the large dome is a round hole, called a single eye. The single eye is the only source of light and the exemplary symbol of God.

2. The Ajanta caves, India

The construction of these caves was carried out between 200 BC and 600 AD. This cave complex has been covered by the forest and has been "forgotten" for centuries. A British officer named John Smith discovered the temple while hunting local tigers in 1819. Today, we can see the name and the date of rediscovery of this officer's temple written in stain. The ink is quite translucent on the walls.

29 caves have been unearthed, although not all caves are richly decorated. Caves filled with sculptures and paintings are considered ancient Indian masterpieces. Most of the wall paintings are about the life of Buddha, others tell about the lives of the ancient people, who carved these caves.

3. Borobudur Temple, Indonesia

Borobudur Temple was built in the 8th century, then covered by the jungle and missing, then discovered again in the 19th century, is the world's most sophisticated and sophisticated Buddhist wonder, arranged by UNESCO. into the world heritage in 1991.

This building is made up of 0.6 million cubic meters of stone placed on 6 square floors. Each of these floors is decorated with exquisite carved brick pillars. 500 Buddha statues are in the niches so that Buddhists can pray. 6 steps create a path in the ascending order. This 3km walkway is not easy. As you walk along the path, the brick pillars will display images of Karma law and the story of the Buddha's life. At the top, there are three stupas (stupa).

Local volcanic eruptions are a threat to this religious population. The most recent eruption in 2010 covered the whole temple area with a thin layer of ash. People are afraid that some volcanic eruption will destroy all the engravings surrounding buildings.

4. Delphi temple area, Greece

Although not too grandiose, Delphi has a profound influence on the spiritual world of westerners. The complex of temples, stadiums and shrines with the main temple of Delphi is the center of worship of Apollo gods, the gods are admired and revered by all the inhabitants of ancient Greek city. In 1997, it was recognized as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.

5. Teotihuacan Pyramid, Mexico

Once a major city in the world, Teotihuacan has a controversial origin. People do not agree about who built this city, however, they agreed it was born around 450 AD.

The most famous city in the city is the Sun pyramid and the Moon pyramid. The pyramids here are used to sacrifice people and animals. There is a wide road called Death Avenue running straight from the Moon pyramid to the Sun pyramid, down to the nearby Quetzalcoatl temple. Walking along this road is easy to think of the great religious festivals that must have taken place here.

6. Ziggurat temple area in Ur city, Iraq

The Ziggurat temple complex is a giant terraced pyramid, built from the Bronze Age to honor the famous Sumerian god Nanna. Since then it has been rebuilt many times. The structure that exists today has been greatly corrected during the time of President Saddam Hussein and was slightly damaged during the Gulf War. Although it is one of the greatest wonders of the ancient world, few visitors come here today.

7. Karnak temple complex, Egypt

Built in the 14th century BC by pharaoh Ramses II, the annual temple of Karnak attracts millions of visitors across the world. Located next to the Nile, Karnak is one of the world's largest religious sites. It includes cathedrals and stone temples.

The Amun-Re temple alone is worth a visit, but you need more than a day to enjoy the whole temple. Brick pillars, pillars, and pillar forests fascinated many Hollywood film crews. Typical as blockbuster Transformers: Revenge of the fallen also uses the Karnak context.

8. Callanish Rock, United Kingdom

Callanish Beach of Lewis Island, which appeared from about 2900 to 2600 years ago, was about the same time as Stonehenge. Legend has it that gray stones are remnants of the Giants, who have refused to follow Christianity and St. Kieran of Christians have turned them into stones for punishment.

If you are tired of Stonehenge, Callanish is a perfect alternative. Callanish Beach is preferred over Stonehenge because it is more difficult to access but it is much more satisfied with visitors. Stonehenge is now very close to two large roads full of traffic noise. The listverse page evaluates that Stonehenge has been impacted by time and "human progress" .
