10 – Eight Hells

There are thousands of hot springs in Japan, but what stands out is the eight cluster of hot springs known as the Eight Hells. These hot springs are so hot that they can literally cook you alive. Hence, the “No Bathing” signs you’ll see scattered around. Each spring is named as a different hell according to its characteristic. For instance the Blood Pond Hell is named as such as it dawns a deep sexy red color due to its saturated iron content.

9 – Gozo Island

This island in Malta is filled with mythological beauty (note: it was said to be taken over by Calypso after the Trojan War). It is truly an island of dreams with its beautiful rolling hills, dreamy crumbling castle walls, and of course, who could dare overlook that stunning beach!

8 – Bagan

If Gozo was a place of mythological grandeur, Bagan in Myanmar is a place of spiritual brilliance with thousands of ancient Buddhist monuments built as early as the tenth century. And while you’re there, don’t forget to hop on a hot air balloon ride. This is an absolute must for every visitor.

7 – Caye Caulker

The sandy beaches of Caye Caulker in Belize have been featured in different travel shows and blogs for a reason. It is simply a sand and sea paradise, especially for those who love snorkeling, diving, and other water adventures.

6 – Kirkjufell

The Kirkjufell Mountain in Iceland has nothing really special, really. Compared to the other mountains in the area, it has no special feature save the fact that it takes extraordinarily beautiful pictures. That’s one helluva photographic mountain!

5 – Cano Cristales

The River of Five Colors is in the fifth spot in our list. This really sexy river dons different colors and is safely tucked away in the mountains of Colombia. Some visitors even claim that seeing the river is like seeing an actual watercolor artwork being painted by God himself.

4 – Panjin Red Beach

If the bloody red hot springs of Japan doesn’t scream sexy to you, then maybe the hot lipstick red hue of Panjin Beach will. It is a wetland area in China where the Suaeda Salsa, a red type of seaweed grows and covers more than a million acres of the said Red Beach.

3 – Pamukkale’s Travertine Pools

These crystal pools in Pamukkale, Turkey are so stunning that it literally looks like heaven on Earth. Seriously. They look like mirror-like stairs created by diving beings themselves.

2 – Lencois Maranhenses

Lencois Maranheses in Brazil is a National Park with acres upon acres of sand which literally look like rolling layers of clouds. I seriously think that Lencois Maranhenses and Pamukkale’s Travertine Pools would look awesome in a painting together, don’t you think?

1 – Zhangye Danxia

The sexiest and most stunning natural wonder on our list is the Zhangye Danxia, the only multi-colored mountain in the whole world. The rainbow like mountains look even more beautiful than the mountains that you see in fantasy worlds.

Despite being largely disregarded during his life, history has been kind to Tesla and his groundbreaking creations. While we know about most of Tesla’s inventions, there are several rumored devices of his that were lost to the passage of time. These inventions could have changed the world.

1. Death Ray: The most famous of Tesla’s so-called lost inventions was his “death ray.” In the 1930s, Tesla claimed that he had invented a machine that was capable of firing focused power beams that could destroy anything within 200 miles. He also claimed that his device could create a “power wall” to defend against any incoming objects. Though the machine was never created, that didn’t stop Tesla’s rivals from trying to steal the design. The final configuration of the death ray has been lost to history (and that’s probably a good thing).

2. The Oscillator: In 1898, Tesla created a small oscillating device that he decided to attach to the wall of his office. When he turned it on, the device almost shook down the entire building. After turning it off, Tesla destroyed the device and the blueprints that he used to create it. He told his staff not to mention the true cause of the tremors to anyone.

3. Free Electricity System: Around the turn of the century, Tesla received funding from J.P. Morgan to build a giant transmitting tower on Long Island. Morgan’s idea was that the tower would be used to send wireless messages around the world. However, Tesla planned to use the tower to wirelessly transmit free electricity all over the globe. Once Morgan learned of Tesla’s plans, he shut the project down. Free electricity would’ve seriously hurt his profit margins.

4. The Flying Saucer: In 1911, it was reported that Tesla was working on a flying machine. Here’s how he described the project to one newspaper: “My flying machine will have neither wings nor propellers. You might see it on the ground and you would never guess that it was a flying machine. Yet it will be able to move at will through the air in any direction with perfect safety, regardless of weather and oblivious to holes in the air or downward currents. It can remain absolutely stationary in the air, even in wind, for a great length of time. Its lifting power will not depend upon any such delicate devices as the bird has to employ, but upon positive mechanical action.” Sounds an awful lot like a UFO, doesn’t it?

5. Improved Airships: At a time when modern air travel was only a pipe dream, Tesla proposed using electric airships high in the Earth’s atmosphere to transport people across the Atlantic Ocean. He also proposed that the airships would be able to get their power from the sun and atmosphere.

Sadly, Tesla died alone and penniless in a tiny apartment in 1943. After his death, it was rumored that the FBI broke into his lab and stole all of his research. This might explain why we’re seeing more and more inventions these days that are obviously influenced by Nikola Tesla’s work.
