On The Blaze.com there was a video taken of Mt. Sinai, and these two men found a rock at the entrance of a cave with an inscription of a bush or tree on it. Later on in the evening they showed the rock and there was a golden halo shining around it. No one could explain why the rock was glowing. I thought it was pretty cool.

That is interesting. I did not know about most of those places. I wish I had time to visit them all. There are alot of different places in the world that everyone should try to see. Alot of them aren't close together.

When I was growing up, we visited a couple Mystery Spots.  There are several around the US.  I recalled both my dad and I were skeptics - noticing the obvious slant of the house - believing it was all an optical illusion.  However, one of the things the guides have you do, in one room where the "pull" is strongest, they ask the most skeptical person to walk across the room in a straight line.  My dad was the chosen skeptic and he was fine to a point and then obviously struggled to keep walking straight.  I recalled feeling an unusual pull in that general area too.

I recalled our guide said speculation was that some asteroid with high iron content was buried somewhere and was somehow magnetized or something, which resulted in these local pockets of seemingly altered gravity.  It's pretty neat if you get a chance to try it.


One other area I found on my travels that is a bit weird is in Idaho - the Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve.  It's several square miles of lava flow, tunnels, caves, and volcano cores.  It's so strange - as you approach, you start to see the ground turn black.  It definitely feels like you are on another planet.  I highly recommend checking it out.   :thumbsup:

Interesting sites. There are so many unusual sites around the world. Yellowstone could easily be on the list. You can watch the Old Faithful cam online. It updates every 20 seconds. Interesting to watch the crowds come and go near eruption times.

The Bermuda Triangle for sure is not a recommended location to venture for anyone who values their own life. Somewhere around the area exists a hell portal. That is why ships, aircrafts, planes with its passengers crossing by will mysteriously disappear never to be seen again.  :o

I think India would be an exotic country.
I think it's interesting how borders between countries shift over the years.
Cities and hte namets change  as well.
