Forgotten Fortress



Located atop a cliff in Ireland that rises hundreds of feet above the crashing sea below, the four concentric stone walls of this prehistoric fortress offer visitors a spectacular view. Archaeologists have many theories about the origin of this ancient structure, but no one knows for sure when it was built or who built it.

Big Mama

 
Built during the Neolithic Age more than 5,500 years ago, this fertility temple complex is older than the Pyramids of Egypt and older than Stonehenge, which makes it the world’s most ancient free-standing, man-made structure. Constructed from limestone blocks weighing up to 60 tons each and decorated with delicate geometric designs, hand-carved by ancient artists using crude tools, the temple was built in a single night by a female giant, according to local legend.

Steep Drop

  

The world’s highest waterfall located in Venezuela, and one of the most beautiful, plunges more than 3,200 feet down a sheer cliff deep in a remote jungle. Although the waterfall is located in a Spanish-speaking country, it is named for the American aviator who flew over it in 1933.
