Door to Hell

This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals "The Door to Hell". It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground.

None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it's burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.

Underwater Road

Bimini Road is a stone structure off the coast of Bimini Island, in the Bahamas. There are a long line of square cut rocks, in a straight formation, which has led some to speculate that this could be evidence of an ancient civilization. Some even claim it is the remains of the lost continent of Atlantis. The formations were first noticed by pilots flying over the area.

"The 'road' is actually the now-submerged former coastline of the island and is made of beach rock, a concretion of shells and other debris formed in modern times. This fragile material tends to fracture in more or less straight lines and then at right angles to those fractures, resulting in a pattern of large fragments resembling an area of paving stones. Such natural formations, also referred to as tessellated pavement, are extremely common along the eastern shore of Australia, and almost entirely around Tasmania, where they are plainly exposed to view along the coast. For a hundred miles along the coast of Venezuela there is a similar undersea formation."

Explorations made by Dr. Greg Little recently have made some exciting discoveries. He found that underneath the square stones is a second layer of similarly cut square stones. This is highly suggestive that the road is not a natural phenomenon. If it were, then you would expect to find only sand or perhaps crumbled debris under the stones. He also discovered large stones with holes bored through them. This would suggest that these may have been used as anchors for ships, perhaps berthed at the stone wall.

These rocks are still being studied though. If it is possible to date them it should prove very telling one way or the other as to whether or not these are man-made objects.

Can peoples move the building ??

It's not every day a building just ups and moves... especially not when it's a 1,500-ton church.

But that was exactly what happened to the Cathedral of St Dominic in Fuzhou, China today.

Part of the church building was taken 75.6m (248ft) from its original position to move it out of the way of a construction project.

Sacred site: The Cathedral of St. Dominic in Fuzhou, China before a section is moved

On the move: The 1,500-ton church had it's priests' building taken 75.6 meters (248 feet) from its original position.

The accommodation for priest will then be rotate 90 degrees to make way for a new road.

Engineering set the two-storey building on 400 wheels to run on rails before gradually turning it.

Planners decided on the action rather than demolish the Catholic cathedral in the capital of south-east China's Fujian Province, which was built in 1932.

The huge project of moving the priests' building started on August 30 this year.

Spun around: The building is placed on 400 wheels to rotate it 90 degrees

All clear: The building is moved into its final position - making way for the new road
