The Great Wall Of China
The Great Wall Of China is a chinese fortification from the 3rd century BC untill the beginning of the 17th BC in order to protect the various dynasties from raids by Monggol, Turkic and other nomadic tribes coming from modern days in Mongolia and Manchuria.It is built to protect China from invasion of Xiang Nu the people of Mongolia. The Xiangnu's tribe was China's main enemy at that time.The Chinese built the great wall to prevent from entering and conquering China.Origanlly made up of shorter walls between factions, the wall was fortified and lengthened under the emporer Qin Shi Huang beggining in 221 Bc.The defenders of China cold easily shoot arrows and cannons from the Gerat Wall, which was cleverly designed with small holes in the walls for defense and attack at the same time.Althogh the building of the architectural wonder sacrificed many lives, it was still worth it in the end as the Mongols were mostly kept out of China.The modern use of the wall is tourism, although much of it has fallen into disrepair or crumbled away completely.

The Leaning Tower Of Pisa
The leaning tower of Pisa is the famous bell tower in Italy that began to lean in the year of 1173.It was built to display the wealth of the people of Pisa. The people of Pisa were sailors who conquered land such as Jerusalem , Carthago, Ibiza, Mallorca, Africa, Belgium, Brittaina, Norway, Spain and Morroco.Their only real enemy were from the city of Florence. They needed the tower to show how people of Florence how well they were doing. Architects realised that the tower was leaning when they had finished building one and one half meters of the third floor. The damage was irreversible so they halted construction until 1272 because war broke out against Florence. All of the money was used on the warfare and there was not much money left for the tower. The lean was caused by the sandy and marshy soil that the tower was built on. During construction from 1272 till 1275, the tower continued to lean. In 1275 war with Florence broke out again. after this they began to construct the belfry, credit for which is often given to his son Tomasso, son Andrea Pisano.The construction was believed to be finished in the year 1350. In 1392 causing great humiliation,Pisa was sold to Florence and the resident was forced into slavery.They never managed to gain back the wealth that they had in the early years.

Fragarance

There are tons to know about fragrance. I am going to tell you the basics. Perfumes are a form of fragarance. Perfumes are not to be sprayed on your clothes but on your skin. Some perfumes may make your clothes smudge. Rub your perfume on your wrist, edge of your neck, on your your elbow and behind your ears. If you can be smelled about a mile away that means that you are wearing too much perfume. Thank you for reading my blog.

Cool corals
Splash! Eduardo Sorenson leaps from the boat.He and three other drivers slide under the icy waters off the coast of Chile.Cold seeps through his dive suit.Yet he goes deeper.At 35 meters(115feet) below the surface, his flashlight barely lights up the murky water.Does anything live here.Suddenly, he spots a flash of colour.He swam closer>Bright red corals sprout from rock walls.Tiny animals called coral polyps wave their rosy tentacle.feathery yellow sea pen corals sway gently.Why are these find s in Chile and Alaska so surprising?Scientists once thought corals mostly grow in warm, shallow water.The great barrier reef in australia ia a perfect example.There, sun sun lights up endless hills of pink, purple, and yellow corals.A wrinkly one looks just like a giant human brain!Now imagine the deep dark ocean.What do you see? If you're like many people, you may think, "Not muc"!"Well think again.Divers and submarines are exploring the oceans' deepest, darkest, and coldest spots.In many places. they're finding colourful corals.these discoveries keep changing what we know about corals.it turn out some corals can grow in waters as chilly as-1 degrees celsius (30 degrees Fahreheit).They can survive in the dark and deep waters!it turns out that more corals may grow in cold dark seas than in warm and tropical waters.
