3. Lalibela, Ethiopia
The belowground church of St. George in
Lalibela, Ethiopia
Unless you're from Ethiopia, chances are you don't know about these 11 medieval churches in the
small mountain village of Lalibela. The destination is first and foremost a place of worship, which
explains why the Ethiopians haven't done more to market it to tourists. You don't have to be devout,
however, to marvel at the churches' unusual design.
Legend has it that a visit to Jerusalem after its fall to a Muslim general in the 13th century inspired
King Lalibela to rebuild the holy city in Ethiopia. He commissioned workers to dig these churches out
of the area's red volcanic rock.
One remarkable group of four—the House of Emmanuel, House of Mercurios, House of Gabriel, and
House of Abba Libanos—was created from the same massive piece and connected by underground
passageways. Light filters into the cruciform structures through cross-shaped windows. Another
church, the Beta Medhane Alem (House of the Saviour of the World), rests some 35 feet below the
surface of the desert.
6. Isfahan, Iran Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan, Iran, is bounded by four monumental structures:
the mosaic-tiled Royal Mosque to the south, the Portico of Qaysariyyeh to the north, the Mosque of
Sheykh Lotfollah to the east, and the magnificent entrance to Ali Qapu palace and the royal gardens
to the west.
Iran An unexpected royal city
When Shah Abbas chose to relocate the capital of the Persian Empire to Isfahan around 1600, he
was determined to make a big impression. So surely he'd be disappointed to know that centuries
later his masterpiece remains hidden in plain sight—at least for Americans, who are largely
restricted from and cautioned against visiting Iran.
The Shah's massive building centered on grand Naqsh-e Jahan Square, which he surrounded with
four monumental structures: the gleaming, mosaic-tiled Royal Mosque to the south, the Portico of
Qaysariyyeh to the north, the Mosque of Sheykh Lotfollah to the east, and the magnificent entrance
to Ali Qapu palace and the royal gardens to the west.
Ali Qapu's grand covered balcony was where the shah and his guests would watch polo matches,
horse races—even public executions. Inside, spiral staircases connect each floor, and the walls are
adorned with intricate bird-patterned murals. Even more impressive is its sixth floor Music Room,
covered with ornately decorated stucco niches and cutouts in the shapes of pots and vessels that
once reverberated the sounds of the ensembles who performed there.

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt.
There are 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008.[1][2] Most were built as tombs for the country's Pharaohs and their
consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.[3][4][5]
The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of
Djoser (constructed 2630 BCE–2611 BCE) which was built during the third dynasty. This pyramid and its surrounding complex
were designed by the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world's oldest monumental structures
constructed of dressed masonry[citation needed].
The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted
among the largest structures ever built.[6]
The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in
existence.

The Citadelle Laferrière or, Citadelle Henry Christophe, or simply
the Citadelle (in English, spelled Citadel), is a large mountaintop fortress in northern
Haiti, approximately 17 miles (27 km) south of the city of Cap-Haïtien and five miles (8 km) uphill from the town of Milot.
It is the largest fortress in the Americas and was designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site in 1982—along with the nearby Sans-Souci Palace. The mountaintop fortress has itself become
an icon of Haiti. The Citadel was built by Henri Christophe, a key leader during the Haitian slave rebellion, after Haiti gained
independence from France at the beginning of the 19th century.[1]
The massive stone structure was built by up to 20,000 workers between 1805 and 1820 as part of a system of fortifications
designed to keep the newly-independent nation of Haiti safe from French incursions. The Citadel was built several miles inland, and
atop the 3,000 ft (910 m) Bonnet a L’Eveque mountain, to deter attacks and to provide a lookout into the nearby valleys.
Cap-Haïtien and the adjoining Atlantic Ocean are visible from the roof of the fortress. Anecdotally, it is possible to sight the eastern
coast of Cuba, some 90 miles (140 km) to the west, on clear days.
The Haitians outfitted the fortress with 365 cannon of varying size. Enormous stockpiles of cannonballs still sit in pyramidal stacks
at the base of the fortress walls. Since its construction, the fortress has withstood numerous earthquakes,

Great Wall of China
Stretching over 3,000 kilometers from the Shanhaiguan Pass on the eastern coast to the Jiayuguan Pass in the Gobi Desert, the Great Wall of
China was constructed by the first Emperor to unify all of China in 221 BC. Qin Shihuang, had a workforce of up to a million people link
previously existing walls from smaller kingdoms and build new sections, in order to keep out northern invaders by sheer magnitude of the
ancient fortification.

Great Wall of China - China
One of the most famous structures of the world and unique human structure that can be seen from the space. --Great Wall of China, China ---
The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the
Chinese Empire against intrusions by various nomadic groups. Several walls have been built since the 5th century BC that are referred to
collectively as the Great Wall, which has been rebuilt and maintained from the 5th century BC through the 16th century
. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains; the
majority of the existing wall was built during the Ming Dynasty.
The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner
Mongolia. The most comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the entire Great Wall, with all of
its branches, stretches for 8,851.8 km (5,500.3 mi). This is made up of 6,259.6 km (3,889.5 mi) sections of actual wall, 359.7 km (223.5 mi) of
trenches and 2,232.5 km (1,387.2 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers.

Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that
combines elements from Persian, Islamic and Indian architectural
styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the
Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures.
The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen.[5] The construction of
the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad
Ahmad Lahauri.[6][7] Lahauri[8] is generally considered to be the principal designer

The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre
(Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is
an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest
works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.
Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started in 72 AD[1] under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD
under Titus,[2] with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81–96).[3] The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from
both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).
Capable of seating 50,000 spectators,[4][5] the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles,
animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for
entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a
fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although in the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers, the
Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and still has close connections with the
Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the
Colosseum.[6]

AFRICA:
Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30.2 million km² including
adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area...and 20.4% of the total land area.[2] With 1.0 billion people (as of
2009, see table) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.72% of the world's human population.
The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai
Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
The continent has 54 sovereign states, including Madagascar, various island groups, and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic
Republic, a member state of the African Union whose statehood is disputed by Morocco.
AFRICA: World Factbook - The best country factbook available online
Africa, particularly central eastern Africa, is widely regarded within the scientific community to be the origin of humans and the
Hominidae clade (great apes), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones
that have been dated to around seven million years ago – including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A.
afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) found in Ethiopia being
dated to circa 200,000 years ago.

ASIA
Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres. It covers
8.6% of the Earth's total surface area (or 29.9% of its land area) and with approximately 4 billion people, it hosts 60% of the
world's current human population. During the 20th century Asia's population nearly quadrupled.[2]
Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Eurasia—with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe—
located to the east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains and south of the Caucasus Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych
Depression)[3] and the Caspian and Black Seas.[4] It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian
Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean.
Given its size and diversity, Asia—a toponym dating back to classical antiquity—is more a cultural concept incorporating a
number of regions and peoples than a homogeneous physical entity[

| What Are Term Deposits, Government Bonds, Treasury Bills & Money ... Financial instruments found in the debt market include: 1. Term Deposits 2. Government bonds 3. Treasury Bills (T-Bills) 4. Money Market Funds 5. Corporate Bonds and Debentures 6. Domestic Bond Funds. In this article, we will only discuss the term deposits, government bonds, treasury bills and money market fund. 1. Term Deposits Term Deposits are qualifying instruments for tax shelter and will share the following characteristics. a) Short-Term Deposit: less than 1 year b) Long-Term Deposit: to 5 years. Interest Rate: depends on length of deposit and competitive interest rates available in the marketplace. Long-term investments are called Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) and can be purchased for a lesser amount such as $500. They are also called a Certificate of Deposit (CD). Rates may vary as little as 0.10% amongst the deposit takers. Term Deposits may be cashed prior to maturity, but this may incur a penalty. GICs generally cannot be cashed before they mature, although some deposit takers are now more flexible. 2. Government saving bonds Country residency is required and guaranteed by the country of issuer. a) Are registered bonds that provide protection against loss, theft or destruction. b) Are not transferable. c) Can be purchased for a minimum of $100 to a maximum of $500,000. d)The interest is taxable and is competitive with GICs. e) Mature in 10 to 12 years. In Canada, Canadian saving bonds are issued as either R bonds or C bonds. In US, US saving bonds are issued as series EE bonds, Series I Bonds. The investment risk for government savings bonds Issued by Canadian government or US government is nil, since the bond is guaranteed by the federal government. 3) Treasury bills (T bill) Treasury bills are a short term money market instrument and issued by the federal government in terms of 30, 60, 91, 182 and 364 days. They are sold by auction. Banks and investment houses buy at wholesale in multiples of $5 million denominations. They then sell these T-Bills to brokers and investment dealers who break down their purchases into $1,000 lots. T bills are sold discount to their face values and also sold on the secondary market and their value fluctuates depending on competitive interest rates at the times of resell. The short-term nature of T-Bills does not cause a large exposure to interest rate risk, but to some extent there is an inflation risk.If a T-Bill is sold before maturity, any gain is taxed as interest. 4. Money market funds Money market fund holds T bills and other short term money market contracts. Investors pool the investments through the mutual fund. Units in this fund can be bought and sold daily. Money market funds produce capital gains although their primary function is to generate interest income. Interest is generally paid monthly, while capital gains are paid annually. The benefits of money market funds include a) security of principal b) liquidity. c) eligible for plan registration |

THAT'S IN ADDITION TO MAXING OUT YOUR 401(K) AND 403(B) RETIREMENT PLANS. STASH YOUR CASH IN A ROTH IRA ACCOUNT, WHICH IS ALSO FEDERAL TAX FREE FOREVER, A 529 PLAN, THE BENEFITS OF WHICH WE DISCUSSED LAST WEEK, AND OTHER INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS. BUT HERE'S THE KICKER … IF YOU'RE OVER THE AGE OF 40, YOU SHOULD TRY TO SAVE 30 PERCENT OF YOUR GROSS ANNUAL INCOME IN ORDER TO CATCH UP. MONEY RULE #2 DON'T OVERBUY RATES ARE LOW LENDERS SAY 3 TO 4 X INCOME 2 ½ X GROSS ANNUAL INCOME MONEY RULE NUMBER TWO DON'T OVERBUY. THAT IS, DON'T BUY MORE HOUSE THAN YOU CAN COMFORTABLE, EVEN EASILY AFFORD. EVEN THOUGH RATES ARE LOW AND LENDERS SAY YOU CAN SPEND 3 TO 4 TIMES YOUR ANNUAL INCOME, IF YOU WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, YOU HAVE TO STAY FOCUSED. SPEND JUST TWO AND A HALF TIMES YOUR GROSS ANNUAL INCOME AND YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT HOW MUCH EXTRA YOU HAVE TO PLOW AWAY INTO SAVINGS. MONEY RULE #3 KEEP YOUR CAR FOR 10 YEARS BUY USED BUY NEW/OLDER MODEL GET FINANCING AHEAD OF TIME GOOD CREDIT? 0% FINANCING MONEY RULE NUMBER 3 IS TO KEEP THE CAR YOU HAVE FOR 10 YEARS. CARS ARE OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE, AND IT'S GENERALLY CHEAPER TO KEEP YOUR OLD CAR RUNNING THAN TO BUY A NEW CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN THE TIME COMES TO BUY A CAR, CONSIDER BUYING USED. IF YOU HAVE TO BUY NEW, BUY AN OLDER MODEL - IT'S A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT NOW, SINCE DEALERS ARE JUST INTRODUCING THE 2004 MODELS. GET YOUR FINANCING AHEAD OF TIME AND, HERE'S ANOTHER REASON TO KEEP YOUR CREDIT IN SPARKLING CONDITION - 0 PERCENT FINANCING IS STILL AROUND - WITH REBATES AND POWERTRAIN WARRANTIES. MONEY RULE #4 PAY OFF YOUR DEBT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE HIGHEST, NON-DEDUCTIBLE DEBT FIRST PAY OFF CARDS AT END OF MONTH MONEY RULE NUMBER 4 IS TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH AS LONG AS YOU'RE PAYING SOMEONE ELSE INTEREST. INSTEAD, PAY OFF YOUR HIGHEST NON-DEDUCTIBLE DEBT FIRST AND THEN KEEP ON GOING. ONCE YOU'RE DEBT-FREE, NEVER CHARGE ANYTHING UNLESS YOU CAN COMPLETELY PAY OFF THE CREDIT CARD AT THE END OF THE MONTH. MONEY RULE #5 INVEST IN INDEX FUNDS TRACK INDEX LIKE S&P 500 CHEAP TO OWN BEAT MANAGED FUNDS 85% OF TIME VANILLA, NO-WORRY INVESTMENTS MONEY RULE NUMBER 5 IS TO TAKE ALL THE CASH THAT YOU'VE SQUIRRELED AWAY AND INVEST IT IN INDEX FUNDS. INDEX FUNDS TRACK THE INDECIES THAT YOU HEAR ABOUT EVERY DAY, LIKE THE STANDARD AND POORS BIGGEST 500 COMPANIES IN THE U.S. INDEX FUNDS ARE CHEAP TO OWN AND BEST OF ALL, THEY BEAT MANAGED FUNDS 85 PERCENT OR MORE OF THE TIME. PLUS, THEY'RE PLAIN VANILLA, NO-WORRY INVESTMENTS THAT WON'T COST YOU TOO MUCH AT TAX TIME. MONEY RULE #6 SPEND 1 HOUR/WEEK ON RETIREMENT BALANCING CHECKBOOK LOOKING AT INVESTMENTS WRITING FINANCIAL GOALS READING ABOUT MONEY MY FINAL MONEY RULE IS TO SPEND AT LEAST ONE HOUR A WEEK ON YOUR RETIREMENT. THAT CAN INCLUDE BALANCING YOUR CHECKBOOK, LOOKING AT YOUR INVESTMENT STATEMENTS, WRITING DOWN YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS OR EVEN JUST READING A MAGAZINE ABOUT MONEY.

Little-Known Man-Made Wonders of the World
Not all of the world's wonders get the attention they deserve. We searched the globe to find nine marvels
that are so awe-inspiring, you'll find it hard to believe that they were crafted by human hands—and so far
off the beaten path, chances are you've never heard of them.
By Ratha TepIt took 90 years to carve the 233-foot-tall
Leshan Giant Buddha out of a remote
Chinese mountainside in the 8th century.

1. Sichuan, China A Buddha so large it took 90 years to
build
It took almost the entire 8th century to carve the 233-foot-tall Leshan Giant Buddha out of a mountainside
in central China—about 1,400 miles west of Shanghai (and far out of sight and mind for most travelers)—
but the result still stands as one of the world's largest Buddhas.
Its ears alone are more than 23 feet in length (that’s the height of a two-story building), and even its
smallest toe is large enough to sit on comfortably. But it’s not only the Buddha’s giant scale that’s
impressive. On its head are 1,021 intricate, twisted hair buns hiding a complex drainage system that
helps preserve the statue.
The Mount Emei area itself has enormous religious significance; Buddhism was first introduced to China
here. Thrill seekers can get up close to witness the Buddha’s sheer size by navigating down a steep, 250-
step zigzag path along its side; those looking to take in the statue from a distance (and see additional
figures carved into the cliff) can opt for a boat ride—the statue sits at the confluence of where three
rivers meet.
2. The Church of the Transfiguration of Our Savior on Kizhi Island, Russia.
An open-air museum of elaborate wooden churches
It requires a flight or overnight train ride from Moscow or St. Petersburg and then a ferry ride to reach
Kizhi Island, part of the 1,650-island chain on northern Russia’s remote Lake Onega. Your reward is
becoming one of the choice few to explore the one-of-a-kind State Kizhi Museum, made up of nearly 90
wooden structures, including chapels, windmills, and granaries.
Its most remarkable portion, set on a narrow strip of land on the island’s southern tip, is Kizhi Pogost, a
walled enclosure that houses an octagonal bell tower and two 18th- century wooden churches. Twenty-
two cascading bulbous cupolas fashioned from aspen shingles top the 121-foot Church of the
Transfiguration of Our Savior.
Amazingly enough, this masterpiece was built without a single nail. Legend has it that a sole axe was
used to carve the shingles and the interlocking corner joinery that hold the majestic structure up, and
after its completion, was tossed into the water so a similar marvel couldn’t be built.

4. Kampong Thom Province, Cambodia
Cambodia's oldest temple complex
Cambodia's little- known hidden temple complex of Sambor Prei Kuk, whose structures were
built during the 7th century and predate those at Angkor Wat by some 600 years.
Cambodia's oldest temple complex
Built during the 7th century, the 52 standing temples of Sambor Prei Kuk are part of the
remains of the former capital of Chenla, an ancient kingdom that once ruled much of present-
day Cambodia. Spread across three square miles of jungle in Cambodia's Kampong Thom
province, the complex predates even the oldest temples of Angkor by some 600 years.
Amazingly, it's also far beneath the radar of most travelers—a meager 5,000 annual
international visitors make it out to this destination, compared to the million-plus tourists who
visit Angkor Wat (that may have something to do with the fact that getting to Sambor Prei Kuk
entails a three-hour drive from either Siem Reap or Phnom Penh along the bumpy, stray-dog-
ridden National Route No. 6).
If you do want to visit, the new Isanborei community tourism project provides local English-
speaking guides who will take you around the temples on a tuk tuk. If you’re looking for a truly
authentic experience, opt for one of their homestays—you can live with a family, learn how to
cook traditional dishes, and even help harvest rice.

5. World's oldest freestanding monuments
The interior of a megalithic temple on Malta.
World's oldest freestanding monuments
The stone temples on these small Mediterranean islands wedged between Sicily and
Tunisia don't get much attention these days; you won't see them in a big-screen thriller or
from a mega cruise ship. But as far back as 5000 B.C., millennia before work began on
the Great Pyramid of Giza, they were drawing hordes of worshippers.
Hagar Qim, the grandest temple complex, commands attention from its hilltop location on
Malta’s southern coast. It was constructed from enormous limestone slabs raised to
form doorways with lintels (similar to those at Stonehenge) and semicircle formations;
one slab stands a commanding 20 feet high and, weighing nearly 20 tons, is believed to be
among the largest of any temple.
Hagar Qim’s best statues—three “fat lady” figurines and a slimmer Venus of Malta—were
excavated in the mid-20th century and are now housed in the National Museum of
Archaeology in the Maltese capital city of Valletta. But if you look closely while at Hagar
Qim, you’ll find carvings of spirals, animals, and goddesses—all the more impressive
given the builders' limited tools: flints and obsidian blades.
A 15th-century wall at Choquequirao, whose nearly 200 slope terraces were built about
6,000 feet above the glacier-fed Apurímac River. , Peru The truly lost Incan city
These 15th-century ruins, which consist of a central plaza and dozens of slope terraces
built some 6,000 feet above the glacier-fed Apurímac River, received fewer than 7,000
visitors in 2006. That’s just a little more than 1 percent of those that made the trek to its
far more famous sister site, Machu Picchu, whose nickname “The Lost City of the Incas”
seems misleading given its typical tourist crowds.
But at its height, Choquequirao was no less significant: It was roughly the same size as
Machu Picchu and believed to be the last main religious center of the Incan Empire before
its fall. From the tiny town of Cachora (about 100 miles away from Cuzco), getting to
Choquequirao is an arduous 20-mile trek.
You’ll pass arid country full of cacti and agave before the vegetation turns lush. Take a
breather to spot the occasional condor, and exhale with the jagged, snow-capped
Vilcabamba Range in the distance.

7. El Mirador, Guatemala
A Mayan complex that's still unearthing marvels
The little-known Mirador Basin, hidden among 2,000 years of jungle growth in northern Guatemala, consists of
five Preclassic Mayan cities, each larger and older than the nearby (and far more famous) Tikal by 1,000 years.
El Mirador, Guatemala A Mayan complex that's still unearthing marvels
The little-known Mirador Basin, hidden among 2,000 years of jungle growth in northern Guatemala, is called the
Cradle of Maya Civilization—and for good reason. Its five Preclassic Maya cities—El Mirador, Nakbe, Xulnal,
Tintal, and Wakna—are each larger and older than the nearby (and far more famous) Tikal by at least 1,000
years.
Among their astounding innovations are super-size temples and pyramids, including La Danta, the largest -
known pyramid in the world measured by volume, and the remains of the world's first highway system.
And there may be more to uncover: Just two years ago, archaeologists discovered a massive limestone frieze
that dates back to 200 B.C. But illegal logging and tree clearing to make way for cash crops like corn are
threatening the forests (an alarming 70 percent has been destroyed in just a decade). In an effort to preserve
the region, an international effort led by the Global Heritage Fund with help from the Guatemalan and U.S.
governments is underway to establish an 810,000-acre national park in the region.
8. Lucknow, India Gateway to the entrance of Bara Imambara, a palace complex containing an elaborate maze
in Lucknow, India. A gravity-defying palace
Few people have heard of Lucknow, capital of the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh in India, and even fewer
know of the maze-like palace complex—a blend of European and Arabic architecture—that is located there. It
was the brainchild of 18th-century ruler Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula, who put nearly 22,000 city residents to work
during a severe famine (struggling noblemen were rumored to have come in at night to avoid being identified
among the crew).
Bara Imambara's magnificent central arched hall—which stretches 50 meters long (roughly half the length of a
soccer field) and about three stories high—is held up, amazingly, without any pillars, girders or beams. Instead,
the hall was constructed solely with interlocking brickwork.
Another one of its mysteries is the Bhulbhulaiya, a dense labyrinth of more than 1,000 narrow stairway
passages meant to thwart any possible intruders—some stairways lead to abrupt drops, others have dead
ends. It’s possible to roam around the secret maze, preferably with an approved guide, and to explore the
adjacent mosque and manicured gardens.
