-
- Hagia Sophia is the one of the most visited museums and most
prominent monuments in the world in terms of art and the history of
architecture. It has also been called “the eighth wonder of the world”
by East Roman Philon as far back as the 6th century.
It was used as a church for 916 years but, following the conquest of Istanbul by Fatih Sultan Mehmed, the Hagia Sophia was converted into mosque. Afterwards, it was used as a mosque for 482 years. Under the order of Atatürk and the decision of the Council of Ministers, Hagia Sophia was converted into a museum in 1935. - photo location

Western Mosque of Taj Mahal at Sunset
-
- photo location Agra, India
- After spending hours previously touring the Taj Mahal amongst a flood of both Indian and foreign tourists, I decided to return at sunset to catch a glimpse of the beautiful marble in a softer light. I was grateful that there were less people since they were about to close after the sun went down. Walking around the base of the Taj Mahal, past the eastern mosque and the Yamuna River, I was stunned to see the western mosque adorned with such an incredible backdrop of color. By far, one of the most peaceful moments I've experienced in India.

Swallowed by the Sea: Amazing Underwater Pictures
The Rainbow Warrior sunk after being
bombed off Auckland harbor in 1985, and because Greenpeace demonstrators
were using the boat as part of a protest of French nuclear testing, the
French Secret Service was implicated in the bombing. Although there was
an attempt to fix the ship, it was deemed beyond repair and was resunk
in the ocean.
Ghosts of the Old World: Ancient Artifact Pictures to Make Your Hair
The chilling gold leaf death mask now known as the "Mask of Agamemnon" was unearthed from an ancient shaft tomb in Mycenae in the 1870s by an archaeologist named Heinrich Schliemann. Though the origin and ownership of the mask have been called into question -- for example, it is believed to be from the 16th century B.C., making it too old to belong to the true Greek king Agamemnon, if there was such a person -- it is an intriguing clue into how the ancient Mycenaeans felt about death and the afterlife. The outer shape of the skull is pressed nearly flat. The eyes appear at once both opened and closed. In short, it's worth a shiver or two. Read on to see more of the creepiest and most unexplainable traces left behind by the unfathomable people of the distant past.
