They are ionized and excited in the collision of the particles of the solar wind, which are guided down, while accelerating along the power lines of the geomagnetic field of the Earth. Oxygen emissions have a greenish or reddish brown color depending on the absorbed energy. Nitrogen emissions have a blue and red shade.

At the beginning of the 21st century, July 7, 2007, on the day "three sevenfish", in the capital of Portugal Lisbon, new seven wonders of the world were named, each of which may well make a competition of lost architectural treasures.

The project was organized by the Non-Profit Organization of New Open World Corporation (Nowc) on the initiative of Swiss Bernard Weber. The election of the new seven wonders of the world from the famous architectural structures of the world took place through SMS messages, the phone or the Internet. As part of the selection of attractions, about 100 million votes were taken, but since the conditions did not prohibit vote several times, this list almost immediately began to cause doubts.

Nevertheless, now it is the most famous of such ratings and therefore, along with the main landmark for tourists, actively traveling around the world with

Seven New Wonders of Nature - This is a competition, also organized by the Swiss non-profit organization "New Open World Corporation" (Nowc), which, with the help of world national voting, found seven of the most amazing natural places on Earth.

Project "Seven New Wonders of Nature" started at the end of 2007. Until 07.07.09, there was a nomination and preliminary selection of all candidates, including the Russian natural pearl - lake Baikal. The vote was completed to the mystical date - 11/11/11.

The main miracles of nature entered the longest river of the world - Amazon and her jungle; The largest underground river - on the territory of the Philippines.

On the legendary 7 miracles of the world - the greatest creations of humanity - everyone was accurately heard in childhood, even if not everyone could remember them in order. And although the majority of monuments from the history textbook will no longer succeed, people managed to draw up to tourists a lot of others, alternative, outstanding attractions that have survived to the present day.

Ancient wonders of the world

The first attempts to distinguish the exceptional achievements of humanity to the list of miracles of the world took shape in the writing heritage of the ancient Greek authors, starting with the era of Hellenism. The "selection" of the main monuments of all times took place gradually.

So, one of the first historical list of "miracles" was Herodot: in his "History" we are talking about three grand facilities on the island of Samos - the mountain tunnel, the dam and the temple of the gera.

Soon, other thinkers have completed a list of up to seven attractions: the seven in ancient Greece was considered the holy digit, was an indispensable attribute of solar gods and myths about them.

The classic "7 wonders of the world" of the ancient world, familiar to many by the school program, is historically connected with the Empire of Alexander the Macedonian - the second half of the IV century BC. e. Of these, two attractions were ancient Egyptian, four were located in the territories of ancient Greece and one - in Mesopotamia (and even more precisely - in Babylon).

Hope's pyramid is the oldest, the first miracle of the world and the only one who preserved to the present day. Included in the complex of the pyramids in Giza is the main attraction of Egypt.

The legendary Babylonian Hanging Gardens of Semiramides, the second miracle of the world, existed presumably from the end of the VII century to n. e. until I century BC er, destroyed due to flooding.

The temple statue of Zeus in Olympia, reaching about 12-17 meters together with the pedestal, was made of ivory, ebony and gold, stood about nine centuries: from 435 BC. e. Until the V century, burned in a fire.

The ruins of the fourth miracle of the world, Artemis in Ephesus (with VI in IV or III century BC. Er), now enter the line of the Turkish city of Selchuk (not far from Izmir).

Of the lost attractions, the most persistent was Galicarnasian mausoleum. Non-standard for the middle of the IV century BC. e. The architectural monument existed in the 19th centuries: destroyed by an earthquake, then partially disassembled to building materials. The ruins of the mausoleum can be seen in Bodrum, Turkey, - this is what is now called a city with the historical location of the fifth miracle of light.

The earthquakes caused the death of two more ancient wonders: the bronze statue of the colossus on the island of Rhodes (stood only 65 years, destroyed in the same III century BC) and Alexandrian lighthouse in Egypt (the seventh miracle of the world, collapsed in the XIV century).

This amphitheater, the masterpiece of the architectic thought of the I century of our era, almost immediately after the creation, was proclaimed a miracle of the world in the list of the Roman poet of Marziala, his contemporary.

The symbol of Rio de Janeiro is the statue of Christ-Redeemer on Mount Corcovado - blesses the city, from the height of arms over him. At night, the backlit figure of Christ is clearly visible from almost any part of the city, but the best view of it appears from the pan-de-AsCarus mountain. In the list of new 7 wonders of the world, a statue, built in honor of the Independence of Brazil, is the youngest attraction, her age is less than a hundred years.

Losting in the midst of the desert in Jordan Peter - the capital of the ancient kingdoms of the Idumens and Nabota, opened for Europeans only in the XIX century. The main attractions of Petra, the "Stone Town", - the scleps and rocky temple of El Dair are walked in the rocks of the red sandstone.

The pearl of Muslim architectural art in India - Mausoleum-Mosque Taj Mahal in Agra, built in the XVII century by the will of Padishah Shah-Jahan in memory of his third wife of Mumtaz-Mahal, deceased during childbirth. It is not surprising that today the Taj Mahal is considered not just an outstanding architectural and spiritual monument, but also a symbol of love.
