THE PLACE OF TOURISTS IN THE WORLD AND HISTORY

1.      One World Trade Center (1 World Trade Center)


Better known as 1 WTC and formerly known as Freedom Tower, the main building is in the World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The tower will be built in the northwest corner of the World Trade Center site and will occupy the former location of 6 World Trade Centers. The north side of the tower stretches between the intersection of Vesey and West Street in the northwest and the intersection of Vesey and Washington Street in the northeast. North Tower / 1 WTC country of birth is south of this building. The construction of the relocation of underground facilities, the foundation of the building and the foundation began on 27 April 2006. On 30 March 2009, the Port Authority confirmed that this building is called the One World Trade Center, not the nickname Freedom Tower. Upon completion, One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in the United States, standing at 1776 feet (541.3 m), and is among the tallest buildings in the world. This building will be completed in 2013.

In addition to One World Trade Center, the new World Trade Center site has three other high-rise office buildings, alongside Greenwich Street and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. This development is part of an attempt to commemorate and rebuild after the original World Trade Center complex was destroyed by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Upon completion, One World Trade Center will be the tallest office building in the world.

After the destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, there was a debate about the future of the World Trade Center country. Direct plans emerged and in 2003 the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation held a competition to determine how this country could best be used. The public denial of the first round of the competition, called "Preliminary Design Concepts", led in December 2002 to a more open second round, called "Innovative Design Study", in which the design of Daniel Libeskind became the chosen one. The design has undergone several revisions, mainly due to disagreement with developer Larry Silverstein, who had the right to rent out the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

The final design of the "Freedom Tower" was finally launched on June 28, 2005. To bridge the security issues that the New York City Police Department needed, in April 2005 the base of the 187 foot (57 m) concrete building was built. This final design includes a basic building glass prism in response to criticisms that essentially looked like "concrete bunkers" (although it was eventually proved that they failed and simpler designs were designed). In contrast to the Libeskind plan, the final design in the form of an octagon is seen from above. The designers claimed that this tower would be a "monolithic glass structure that reflects the air and covered with an antenna." In response to the completion date, Larry Silverstein declared in 2006: "By 2012 we will have a fully rebuilt World Trade Center, more powerful, more spectacular than its predecessor." On April 26, 2006, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey approved a conceptual framework allowing the construction of the foundation to begin and the next day, the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Empire State Building, a formal agreement was drawn up. Construction began in May with a formal ceremony that took place when the construction team arrived. Stabilization has slowed to the end of 2011 and is expected to be ready for occupation by 2013.

In 2009, the Port Authority changed the name of this "Freedom Tower" building to "One World Trade Center" on the grounds that this name is "easier to remember".

2.      Leaning tower of Pisa (Torre pendente)


A campanile or cathedral bell tower in the city of Pisa, Italy. Tower of Pisa is actually made to stand vertically as a bell tower in general, but began leaning soon after construction in August 1173. It began behind the cathedral and is the third building Campo dei Miracoli (Field rainbow) city from Pisa.

The height of the tower is 55.86 meters from the ground level and 56.70 meters from the ground level highs. The width of the wall than 4.09 m and 2.48 m at the top. His weight is estimated at 14,500 tons. The tower of Pisa has 294 steps. With this tower the sector of economic income increases because of the tourist attraction. The Pisa Tower is also accepted as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The construction of the Tower of Pisa was carried out in three phases within a period of 200 years. The construction of the first floor of the white marble campanile rocky starts on August 9, 1173, which is the era of military success and prosperity. The first floor is surrounded by pillars with classic letter, which is laterally against arch awning. The leaning tower should actually be as large as 55 feet long, but because the leaning tower of Pisa is built on an unstable ground, the tower is eventually tilted from a straight line of 5 meters.

There is controversy about the identity of the architect of the leaning tower of Pisa. For several years the designer was based on a prominent local artist from the 12th century in Pisa, popularly known for his bronze mold, especially in the Duomo of Pisa. Bonanno Pisano left Pisa in 1185 to Monreale, Sicily, but returned home and died in his hometown. His sarcophagus was found at the foot of the tower in 1820.

3.      Lloyd's of London (Lloyd's)


Insurance and reinsurance exchanges in the United Kingdom. Lloyd's acts as an insurance office where insurers and insured parties, or members, individuals or companies, meet to act financially. Unlike most of its competitors in the same sector, Lloyd's is not an undertaking, but a legal entity under the Lloyd 1871 Parliament of the United Kingdom. Uberrimae fides (Latin for "of the highest trust") is Lloyd's motto.

In 2011, more than £ 23.47 billion of gross premium (£ 22.592 billion in 2010) was traded on Lloyd's Exchange, but overall the share had a loss of £ 516 million (£ 2.95 million profit in 2010). The Lloyd's Building, Lloyd's headquarters, is located in Lime Street. 1 in the City of London.

The establishment of the shares began with Lloyd's Coffee House, which was opened by Edward Lloyd around 1668 in Tower Street, London. This place immediately became a favorite for seafarers, traders and boat owners, and Lloyd served them with reliable trade information. Shark industry activists often use this place to discuss their own bargains, including insurance. After Christmas 1691, the coffee shop moved to Lombard Street. Lloyd closed in 1713, the remaining members formed a committee and moved to the Royal Exchange in Cornhill and were named The Society of Lloyd's.

Lloyd's and the slave trade through the focus on marine business, in the early years of Lloyd (between 1688 and 1807), one of the main sources of income Lloyd came from insurance operations ships that are in the slave trade, which is also supported by the position of the British Empire as the ruler of trade in the Atlantic. Britain transported more than 3.25 million African slaves across the Atlantic to America. This means that by the end of the 18th century Lloyd's insured slave vessels also grew and became an important part of Lloyd's maritime activities. But this progress is not without risk; between 1689 and 1807 about 1053 British ships were lost or drowned in the oceans while they were engaged in slave trade.

Lloyd's First Act, the Royal Exchange, burned in 1838 and although the building was successfully rebuilt, many of Lloyd's early archives were lost. In 1871, the First Lloyd's Act was approved by the British Parliament, giving Lloyd a strong legal basis. Lloyd's Act 1911 and then Lloyd's position, which strengthens a purpose Society set, including the promotion of the interests of its members and the collection and dissemination of information.

Buckingham Palace eventually became the official residence of the royal family of Great Britain since the appointment of Queen Victoria in 1837.

Through this process, the Buckingham Palace area returned to the kingdom for the first time since William "the Conqueror" gave it to others for no less than 500 years.

8.      The Great Wall of China


The 10.000 Li T wall is the tallest man-made building in China. The Great Wall of China is considered one of the seven wonders of the world. In 1987 the building was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Historically, the construction of the wall is one of the most important role in the history of Chinese architecture, namely to limit the urban areas and housing. Several theories on why the Great Wall was erected among others as a stronghold, land ownership boundaries, boundary posts and the lines of communication to convey the message.

Based on written to the general acceptable evidence, basically the majority of the Great Wall of China was built in the period of the Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. However, most of the gigantic walls that now stand are the result of the Ming period.

Pre-Qin, Qin dynasty in previous periods, the earliest construction giant wall made in spring and autumn period (722 BC-481 BC) and the Warring States period (453 BC-221 BC) to enemy attacks and tribes of northern China to resist, The countries to bear in the first construction include the country Chu, Qi, Yan, Wei and Zhao. In later periods the gigantic wall grew longer, improved and changed.

Qin Dynasty, in 220 BC, commissioned by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, General Meng Tian gathered a staff of 300 thousand people to connect the previous walls as a defense line. A 9-year development costs a lot of money and sacrifices ordinary people. Employees who fall victim to millions of souls, so that the country becomes weak. The hatred of the people for forced labor led to the anger of the rebellious peasants who overthrew the Qin dynasty. Then the construction of the gigantic wall was not continued.

The Han Dynasty, 127 BC. When Emperor Han Wudi came to power (140 BC-87 BC), the renovation and building project of the old wall sections extended the total wall length to 1000 km for 20 years. In the first period of Han the gigantic wall served as a protector of the western part of the Nation Hun that threatened the people of China. After the influence of Hun weakened, the construction of the wall was not continued. As of 39 AD, at the urging of Guang Wudi, General Ma Cheng began the construction of the Great Wall. At that time the Huns split into two parts, north and south. The Northern Huns were subdued by the Han while the southern part was reconciled. Then the construction of the gigantic wall was abandoned because China already had great military power.

Ming Dynasty, during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), after conquering the Mongols, the gigantic wall of the previous period was reconstructed, with a length of 5,650 km. At this time, the Great Wall of China was divided into 9 military districts equipped with forts and gates to monitor the border area. Then roads were made as transport routes. The most eastern gate is called Shanhaiguan and the western gate is called Jiayuguan.

9.      Pyramid


The construction of buildings long ago used by the ancient Egyptians and Mayans is used as the tombs of kings ancient times and places of worship (cult).

In the history of pyramid formation, construction is used for a long time. Nations and peoples of the ancient Egyptians Mayadikenal use pyramids as tombs kings of ancient times and places of worship (worship) building besides there have been allegations of a dump (warehouse) of food since the time when the preparations for the meager season or storage treasure.

Different analyzes of the use of pyramid construction. Some call it the heritage building UFO on the property there is a similar building pyramids found on Mars that the latitude the same latitude degrees on earth, some say remains of the civilization of Atlantis and some say that the construction of the pyramid is used under the fact that the civilization of the past people have difficulty in making a dome construction. Therefore, the pyramid construction is used for simplicity. The construction of the dome itself was only used in Roman times with the construction of an arch in its concrete and East-Roman buildings.

Since the 6th century BC, Egypt was a retreat Poshi kingdom, which lost its place after its founding more than 2,000 years, getting power from the outside, namely the Greek, Roman, Hindu kingdom and the power of another nation. During the large number of famous works the days of Pharaoh was destroyed, the characters and religious beliefs of the Egyptians themselves are gradually being replaced by other cultures, so that the culture of ancient Egypt is receding and destroyed, the later generations also lost a large number relics that deciphered clues left behind by the decipherable predecessor.

450 BCE, after a Greek historian around and came into Egypt, adds word: Cheops, (Greek alphabet Khufu), people said, was destroyed after 50 years. To some extent, the Greek historian uses the phrase "so-called", meaning that the truth must be proven again. However, because it is the opinion of Greek historians, later generations cite as important evidence that the pyramid was founded in the 4th dynasty.

During this time, historians consider that the pyramid is the tomb of the king. So, once the pyramids are involved, the imaginary imaginary is the jewelry and the glittering goods. And, in the year 820 AD, when the governor general of Islamic Cairo is the Caliph Al-Ma'moen lead the troops, first dig a secret corridor and into the pyramid, and when the patient does not see in the room, the view only made him very disappointed. Not only is not a thing that is usually buried with the corpse, if pearls, as well as carvings, even a piece of debris glassware does not exist, there is only one empty stone coffin that has no coverage. While the wall was just a clean field, there is no writing engraving either.

Conclusion historians of the results first in this pyramid is "experienced robbery objects in the grave". However, the real results of the investigation show, it is likely the thieves entered the tomb of the pyramid through the other way is very small. Under normal circumstances it is also unlikely that steal tombstones steal without leaving a trace, and it is even impossible to erase all pharaonic inscriptions illustrated on the wall. Compared to other tombs that are generally filled with jewels and abundant treasures, the gigantic pyramids built to commemorate the majesty of the Pharaohs king are very different.

Moreover, the "Inventory Stela" record kept in the Cairo museum stated that the pyramid existed from the beginning before Khufu continued the royal throne. However, because the notes on the stone inscriptions strongly question traditional beliefs, there is a problem between the results of the expert's investigation and the way in which the book is written, in which he further criticizes the value of his research. In fact, within the limits of the historical data to be obtained, for some reason, the exclusion of any historical evidence, has inadvertently obstructed us obstructively in view of the real historical position.
