At a time when the coronavirus is raging around the world, the tourism industry has indeed been negatively affected to a certain extent.
Some netizens said that tourism is to go from one cemetery to another. It is true that there are many famous mausoleum attractions around the world, either magnificent or exquisite and elegant. However, in today's shadow of the new crown virus, especially when it comes to cross-border tourism, it is difficult to think about the terrible contagiousness of the new crown virus. Don't you see the seriousness of "a certain charm of Xiangxi in Zhangjiajie"?
A lot of beautiful mausoleum landscapes, in the current state, are impossible to go to see the fang, and this kind of can not go, really "not a matter of money"! Unfortunately, it is not possible to determine in the future which year I can go to see it, and I do not rule out the possibility of regretting it for life. How can you not sigh and say, "See and cherish"?
So, what are the beautiful mausoleums that "regret not to go to"?
Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor (China)
In this place, I believe that most of the Chinese people have visited it, of course, we only visited the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit part of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, not the main mausoleum. The Terracotta Pit was discovered in the spring of 1974 by local farmers digging wells. The treasure buried underground for more than 2,000 years was revealed, and it was known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". The reason why the Terracotta Warriors of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum shocked the world and recommended its outstanding artistic achievements. Thousands of large-scale ceramic sculpture works of Kuiwei and Heroic Martial Arts are arranged in a space of nearly 20,000 square meters with an overall image, which is magnificent, reflecting the outstanding talents of the Qin people in controlling grand artistic themes, pursuing overall charm and artistic creation. The character shaping of the Qin figurines with thousands of faces and the imminent emergence of the qin figurines shows the author's artistic qualities and artistic achievements from the aspects of physical grasp, charm treatment, color use, and detailed portrayal. The realistic style of the work has not only left the world with a superb ancient artistic model, but also left many valuable historical records about the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is the world's largest underground imperial mausoleum, located in Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, China, the mausoleum is approximately square, the top is flat, the waist is slightly stepped, 76 meters high, 345 meters long from east to west, 350 meters wide from north to south, covering an area of 120,750 square meters. The cemetery is centered on a sealed mound, and there are many burials around it. It took 39 years to complete. The main burial chamber, which houses coffins and funerary items, is the nucleus of the cemetery complex. The mausoleum itself has not been excavated and has not been opened to date. Archaeological exploration is currently concentrated on the various sites of the vast tomb complex around the mausoleum, including the Terracotta Warriors on the east side of the tomb, and the Terracotta Warriors as a garrison of the mausoleum have not yet been fully excavated. It is estimated that in the three pits containing terracotta warriors, there were more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots, 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, most of which are still buried underground. The colorful lacquer finish (which has faded after excavation), the different facial features, and the actual weapons used in the creation of these dolls create a lifelike appearance.
Some people say that the top of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is made of jade, and the tomb has a river of flowing mercury. After more than 30 years of labor by more than 700,000 laborers and craftsmen, the mausoleum was completed. Many of them were also sealed alive in the mausoleums to prevent them from revealing secrets about treasure and population. Despite all these measures, tomb robbers searched for traces of the mausoleum after the death of Qin Shi Huang, but all of them were fruitless, and it was not until 1974, when farmers dug a well, that the tomb site was discovered. According to recent magnetic measurements, there is a small mountain of gold and silver treasure in the imperial tomb.
2. Pyramids (Egypt)
The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt is the largest above-ground royal tomb in the world, and the Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of the ancient Egyptian pyramids, located in the Giza Pyramid Complex in the Giza Heights, about 100 kilometers southwest of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only pyramid that remains largely intact.
The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a mausoleum for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (Greek for cheops), hence the name "Pyramid of Khufu". Construction took about 2560 BC and lasted 20 years. The four slopes of the Great Pyramid of Khufu are facing east, south, west and north, the error does not exceed 3 minutes of the arc, the bottom edge was originally 230 meters long, due to the limestone shedding of the outer layer of the tower, the bottom edge is now shortened to 227 meters, and the inclination angle is 51 ° 52 '. Originally 146.59 meters high, the tower is now 136.5 meters high due to the peeling off of the top, which is equivalent to a 40-story skyscraper and is the second tallest man-made building in the world. The entire pyramid tower is square in the bottom and is built on a huge convex rock, covering an area of about 52,900 square meters and a volume of about 2.6 million cubic meters. Its four sides are facing the four directions of southeast, northwest and southeast.
It is estimated to weigh about 6 million tons and consists of 2.3 million pieces of limestone and granite, with stones weighing about 2.5 tons each, and some weighing up to 80 tons. Originally covered with limestone shells, it formed a smooth outer surface, and now the underlying core structure is seen, although some shell stones can still be seen at the bottom. It was built by mining huge stones from the quarry and then hoisting them into place, but there is still debate about the specific construction technology, but with my head, I really can't think of the scene that was built and what kind of black technology was used.
The Pyramid of Khufu has also been found to have many mathematical mysteries. For example, the bottom angle of Khufu's Great Pyramid is not 60°, but 51°51', thus finding that the area of each triangle is equal to the square of its height; the ratio of the height of the tower to the circumference of the tower base is the ratio of the radius of the earth to the circumference; the meridian of the earth passes through the center of the pyramid; the height of the tower multiplied by 1 billion equals the distance between the earth and the sun, and many other data that still seem mysterious today.
Moreover, the remains of Pharaoh Khufu (also known as King Kiops) have not been found in it, so what is the purpose of this ancient building? How much knowledge and wisdom the Great Pyramid condensed from the ancient Egyptians is still a mystery that is far from being fully solved. Is it up to him to do this?
3. Taj Mahal (India)
It is said that this is a true story about fairy tales, falsifying the conclusion that "fairy tales are all lies". The famous American writer Mark Twain was touched by the story of the Taj Mahal, saying that "the power of love is here to shock all people". The famous Indian poet Tagore described the Taj Mahal as "a tear of eternal love". Listening to the writer say this, I think it is very beautiful, is there any?
Ajman Banu, a beautiful and intelligent woman from Persia, entered the palace for 19 years and witnessed shah Jahan's conquest with her life. Shaj Khan named her "Taj Mahal", which means "crown of the court", which can be described as three thousand favors in one. Unfortunately, regardless of China or foreign, since the ancient red face is thin, Taj died after giving birth to her 14th child. When the news of his death came, Shah Jahan turned out to be white-headed overnight. So, a grieving husband, using the privileges of the royal family, poured out the strength of the country, spent countless money, gathered more than 20,000 architects, mosaicists, calligraphers, carvers, and masons from his country and Persia, Turkey, and Baghdad to build the Taj Mahal, and chose his own marble, Chinese gems, crystals, jade and emeralds, agate in Baghdad and Yemen, Sri Lanka's gems, Arab corals and countless other gems as decorations, and it took 22 years to complete aifei's last wish. Build a beautiful mausoleum for her, this is the Taj Mahal.
Located on the south bank of the Yamuna River in Agra, India, the Taj Mahal is an ivory white marble mausoleum with a dignified and unassailable architectural appearance, the doors, windows and screens of the palace are carved with white marble into diamond-shaped lace lattice, and the walls are inlaid with emeralds, crystals, agates, and ruby rubies with colorful vines. Its full name is "Taj Mahalla", is the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in honor of his second wife Mutaz Mahal, built a huge mausoleum mosque in Agra from 1631 to 1653, can be called the most perfect treasure of Indian Muslim art, known as "perfect architecture", but also known as the "Pearl of India". King Shah Jahan had originally planned to build another identical black mausoleum for himself across the river, connected by a half-white and half-black marble bridge in the middle, and sleeping opposite the concubine. This is simply in line with the lyrics of the lyrics "To die is to be loved, not to be vivid and not to be happy." How deep the feelings are only in this way is enough to confess. Love when you die. Don't cry until you smile. Cosmic Destruction Heart is still there..."!
However, history is always a surprising misfortune, the Taj Mahal was just completed, his son Aurangzeb killed his brother and succeeded in usurping the throne, and King Shah Jahan himself was imprisoned in the Octagonal Palace in Agra Fort, not far from the Taj Mahal. For the next 8 years, Shah Jahan could only look at the reflection of the Taj Mahal floating in the river in the distance through a small window every day, and then his eyesight deteriorated, and he only used the refraction of a jewel to view the Taj Mahal until he finally died of melancholy. Fortunately, shah Jahan was buried together inside the Taj Mahal next to his beloved concubine Ajiman Banu. It can also be regarded as the perfect ending of "lovers will eventually become dependents"!
The Taj Mahal is really tireless to see, it shows different characteristics at different times of the day and different natural lights, it is brilliant gold, the sun is dazzling white during the day, under the oblique sun, the white Taj Mahal gradually changes from gray yellow and golden yellow to pink, dark red, light cyan, and in the moonlight it becomes silver white, white marble reflects a faint blue fluorescent light, giving people a feeling of wonderland. Although it is a mausoleum, it does not have all the cold silence of the usual mausoleum. Instead you feel as if it floats between heaven and earth. Its harmonious symmetry, gardens and reflections in the water combine to create a miracle that amazes countless visitors. There is no doubt that the Taj Mahal is a model of perfect art in the world, which not only expresses Shah Jahan's deep remembrance of his beloved wife, but also a generous gift he gave to mankind.
4. Castel Sant'Angelo (Italy/Vatican)
The above three mausoleums, which can be called the classics of the mausoleum, are more familiar to everyone, the Sant'Angelo Castle may be relatively unfamiliar, but this is not the castle we remember, here is the place where the soul is placed, of course, it is indeed a castle, but it can be used as a military fortress.
Castel Sant'Angelo is located on the banks of the Tiber River in Rome, Italy, the westernmost point of the ancient Roman region, also known as Hadrian's Mausoleum, with a circle below the building and a five-pointed star on the outer wall. Hadrian's Mausoleum was built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 123 as a mausoleum for himself and his family. After Hadrian's death in Baia in 138 AD, the ashes were placed here, along with his wife Sabina and his first adopted son. In 139, the successor Emperor Antonin Biyou completed the construction of Castel Sant'Angelo, after which the remains of other emperors were also placed here.
In 410, Alaric led the Visigoths to capture Rome and plundered it, and Hadrian's Mausoleum was once used as a military fortress, of course, and was also damaged to some extent. It was also used as a prison. It was converted into an ornate papal palace in the 6th century AD and served as a bunker and refuge for the popes. The movie "Roman Holiday" also filmed Castel Sant'Angelo. Currently, it is a tourist attraction open as a museum.
Castel Sant'Angelo was originally called Hadrian's Mausoleum, and the reason why it was later called Castel Sant'Angelo is that there is a story. It is said that in 590 AD there was a severe plague (Black Death) in Rome, Pope Gregory I in order to eliminate the plague, organized a solemn confession procession, when the procession reached Hadrian's Mausoleum, the Pope saw the archangel Michael drawing his sword out of its sheath and waving it in the air, this time it was considered a miracle, heralding the end of the plague, since then, the Romans have called this place "Castel Sant'Angelo".
Pray that miracles will come again and the epidemic will end as soon as possible.
