Although unknown by the majority of the world's population, Machu Picchu is actually an Incan royal summer home and was actually known by the Incans as "Cuzcotopia." It was built by a young Incan emperor called "Emperor Cuzco" who originally had planned on building his summer home on top of a hill already occupied by the village and people of Pacha. However, due to an attempted coup and a series of bizarre, accompanying events, Emperor Cuzco was convinced to choose a different location for his planned summer home which he still named for himself, the afore mentioned "Cuzcotopia."

It was a surprise to see the Baha'i temple on this list. I've been there a few times and it's really a site to see inside and out. I've even taken a few dates there lol
Mmm. The Blue Mosque has 6 minarets, 4 in the corners, 2 in the garden. Hagia Sophia has 4, all in the corners. None has minarets closer to the building. The images show buildings with close minarets, or just 2 of them, etc. I would say a few of the images are Hagia Sophia and the rest of several other mosques.
i have been to Petra. it’s actually pretty cool. The only bring down was there are scamming locals there that almost ruins the experience. i was in my early 20s when i was there and they tried to get me to “gift them” or as the rest of us call it begging me for everything from my hard rock hat to my class ring
I might have given them the hat but you gotta hold on to that class ring if you can. I lost mine through shenanigans of my own fault and as they are tailored to your personality at a special time of life they are rather irreplaceable.
I've been to Machu Picchu! The view is awesome, the history is fascinating, the llamas are friendly, and there are SO MANY STAIRS. It's like one of those Escher paintings where the little dudes are going up stairs and up more stairs and up even more stairs and somehow the space-time continuum turns itself inside-out and they end up back at the bottom of the stairs they started at.
1:39 I saw Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade in the theater, what a great film! It was so awesome seeing Sean Connery (AKA James Bond) play as the father of Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford)!
i thought it was strange he had no facts about it just a mention of it , there is a strange conspiracy behind bahaism which involves satanists , and im not pro any religion this is not somsething based off superstition
Miniature Nature is Human and the Hand of Human. Nature's Mind inculcated in Human Hand to Create Nature. What ever we Create or Created is Encoded in Humans. Consciousness of this Inseparable Oneness of Nature and Human Mind is THE WONDER to the person who attains.
The presence of Mica deposits in the Yucatan was likely due to the Chicxulub asteroid impact during the Cretaceous Period scattering significant amounts of the mineral throughout the region to be mined eons later.
This was a really cool video, Weird History! I love learning about historical places and people. I hope one day you'll do a video on Hasbro's infamous Flubber disaster. Where people broke out in rashes, so Hasbro had to recall the toy and tried everything they could to destroy it. Nothing worked, so according to urban legend, they buried the Flubber underneath a parking lot. Sounds like The Blob [1950s] in real life, TBH.
i wouldnt consider these modern wonders of the world. i would say anything built in the last 300 years is modern. Most of these buildings were built over 400 years ago like for example the eiffel tower is modern.
@@Emily-jh9li no, i've just done some research to see if we had the tech to build one and at least according to what i found we do. Problem is getting it into space.
0:15 I watched the film The Secret of My Success (1987), which stars Michael J. Fox and Helen Slater, the other day after watching Rocky (1976). I call watching the two together Breakout Chances.
@@BeyondDaX that my friend is false information to make you believe it's Chinese. Here I'll point something out look at the door and which side of wall that are on. If your trying to keep some out like in a castle you don't put the doors on the inside allowing the enemy to go under the wall and build a huge fire to cause it to collapse. My friend you are suffering from cognitive issues. Your brain is over load because what I'm saying is a truth you never heard but you see it and know it's right

5:54 People that have no idea of what to wear for Halloween should just go as a ghost. All they need is a white sheet and scissors to cut out holes for the eyes.
I've been to Hagia Sofia. Its beautiful also known as the blue mosque because of lovely blue tiles and stained glass. I learned in school Manchu Picchu was a secret fort and that the Spanish Conquistadores never found it. They never found where people who escape them were going. Thats what I was taught.
Chitcago you’re genius. Sure it could be debatable to be spelled shitcago, just from your pronouncing. I mean I even live 20 minutes from the heart of the city. I particularly like it. Grew up here though.
3:14 The awesome tv series Supergirl has three actresses that have played the character Supergirl: x Melissa Benoist is the lead in the series. x Her adoptive mother is played by Helen Slater (who was supergirl in the 1984 film Supergirl). x Villian Indigo is played by Kara Vandervoort (plays Supergirl in the tv series Smallville).

Thanks for this! 🛕 I visited Chichén Itzá with a school trip in 1986. A few years ago, my friend Barry took me to Wilmette (about a half hour drive from Chicago) to see the Baháʼí House of Worship. It's as awe-inspiring inside as it is lovely outside. #WeirdHistory #Archaeology #WondersOfTheWorld
4:11 In the college classic film Van Wilder, he has a friend named Taj (Taj Mahal Badalandabad). The sequel to the film is called Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006).
5:54 Spirit Halloween has really helped develop Halloween, mostly from offering great costumes that amateurs don't have to make. Halloween is becoming an entire season around parts of Nebraska.
0:34 I bet in the future selfies will be used to document history and evidence (i.e. that a person was at a current place). It will be like in the film Terminal Velocity (1994) where Agent Christa Moldova (played by Nastassja Kinski) has a picture taken of her holding a sign "Ditch Brodie Did Not Kill Me."
They actually did build another bridge across the Firth of Forth (unpainted), so now there's two vehicular bridges plus the red Rail Bridge. The local joke is that by the time they finish painting the Forth Rail Bridge, it's immediately time to begin painting the Forth Rail Bridge. :)

Several of the shots of the Hagia Sophia are actually of the Blue Mosque…

Man... i did not realize I've been scrolling past Wierd History for weeks because of the new logo
With so many things being built before the invention of the wheel, I'm beginning to think the wheel is overrated.
While very recent, and not even done yet, I think Sagrada Familla should make this list.
I've been to Machu Peachu was a lovely experience.
Lucky to say I have visit almost every place on this list.
Bro definitely said shitcago and you'll never convince me otherwise 😂
I like the narrative
I like the They Might Be Giants reference.
