Sphinx at Egypt


Sphinx are one of the ancient built monument in Egpyt which is being wondered by all ancient building archeologists on the reasons behind the idea. Of course, my view on the ancient building is not the reason but on the construction. Where do we get the basics of foundation and the huge lifting of stones without any cranes and hydraulic machines and the structures made to complete the sphinx like idol. Even the outer world aliens are doubted for the construction of such ancient building. Kings ruled where inspired for those ancient building as their expression of interest towards the citizens. Real wonder mad every mankind for one question for similar ancient buildings.

The Ruins of an Ancient City - Hampi


Hampi was once the cultural hub of activities during the reign of the Krishnadevaraya. This beautiful place is in the State of Karnataka in India. If you are in India during October, then this is a place to visit since October is the festival season at this place.


The ruins of Hampi is more popular among the tourist mass. If you want to relive the past and live with a sense of past then you should definitely visit this place. The dead city lives during October!



The Hampi Bazaar, Sule Bazaar, Virupaksha Temple, the Vittalia Temple, and Achyutaraya Temple are some of the places that you should not miss during your trip. The haunting structures of the Royal Centre and the Zenana Enclosure are a must-see.

You can get there through train. Hospet is the railway station to land there. From there you can go through Bus or autorickshaw.

The Ancient Cave Temple - Ajantha


The horshoe-shaped, rugged, and wooded Ajantha caves are found near the village of Ajintha in the state of Maharashtra. This village is in the district of Aurangabad. Different halls are found in this place which are called the Viharas and the Chaitya grihas. The mountain was scarped in two phases to create these अजंता caves. The first phase was called the Hinayana and the second phase the Mahayana. The second phase scarp started only after three centuries.

The famous paintings of the Ajantha are found in the second cave. This second cave is preserved very well.

If you happen to be at Mumbai in India, then why not make a trip to these places. It is worth a visit of your life!
