Real beauty is timeless, and so should be the architectural masterpieces of humanity, right? Well, some of them do have a chance to survive for centuries from now. When you stroll into the Pantheon in Rome, it puts on a show just like it did almost two thousand years ago. Then we've got the impressive Hoover Dam in the USA, designed to harness hydroelectricity and prevent water from going where it shouldn't. While it’s not a single building, the Great Wall of China is an ancient marvel that has survived for centuries. And, luckily, it's just the beginning of the list. Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you know Stonehenge is actually a youngster compared to some ancient buildings? For example, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is over 4,500 years old, making it much older than Stonehenge. There's also the Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, which dates back around 11,000 years and is considered the world's oldest known temple. Even older is the Cairn of Barnenez in France, a massive stone structure that's about 7,000 years old. It's pretty mind-blowing to think that these ancient structures have been around for so long, standing the test of time even more impressively than Stonehenge! Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you know that some rivers can actually change direction? It sounds wild, but it happens when big geological events like earthquakes, landslides, or even massive floods shift the land around them. One major river at risk of this is the Brahmaputra in India—it’s a powerhouse of a river, but also a ticking time bomb. Experts say just one strong earthquake could cause it to completely change course, leading to devastating floods and destruction in the region. This is because the river flows through a seismically active area, where the Earth’s crust is constantly moving. It’s a reminder of how powerful and unpredictable nature can be!

Underwater avalanches, or "submarine landslides," might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but they’re a real danger! 🌊 These events happen when large amounts of sediment or debris suddenly slide down the ocean floor, causing massive disturbances. The force from these avalanches can trigger huge tsunamis, traveling across the ocean and hitting coastal areas with little warning. 🌊 The scary part is that they’re hard to predict, especially because they often happen in deep, remote parts of the ocean. Scientists are studying them more to understand the risks, but the danger is real. It’s a reminder that the ocean can be as unpredictable and powerful as anything on land!

Earth's history has seen some truly bizarre natural disasters. Take the Tunguska event in 1908, for example, where a massive explosion flattened 800 square miles of Siberian forest, likely caused by a meteor airburst. Then, there was a "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora, which led to global cooling, crop failures, and food shortages. There were more weird disasters in the history of our planet that could be called weird - let's learn more about them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
