Top 5 Forbidden Places on Earth

1. Snake Island (Ilha da Queimada Grande)

The snake island which is almost 92 miles away from the cost of São Paulo in Brazil has earned it's name for a reason. The amount of snakes on that island is so high, that the Brazilian navy has banned people from landing on the island. Only a few scientists are given permission to go on that island. It is estimated that there are about 1-5 snakes per square meter of the island and most of the snakes are unique species of pit viper, the golden lance-heads which are famous for their deadly venom.

2.The North Sentinel Island, Andaman and Nicobar Islands


 This isolated island which host a small tribal group of few hundred people is situated in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. This small island has been stayed isolated for thousands of years and still remains the same due to the aggressive nature of the tribal people. They don't welcome any visitors on that island. All that you can receive as a welcome gift could probably be a stone or an arrow dipped in poison. They have attacked and killed fishermen who got too close to the coastal area and also have tried attack helicopters who went close to their island.

3.The Lascaux Caves

Location: Dordoigne, Montignac, France.


Lascaux contains some of the best-known Upper Palaeolithic art. These paintings are estimated to be around 17,300 years old. (1) They primarily consist of primitive images of large animals, most of which are now known from fossil evidence to have lived in the area at the time.Lascaux is one of the worlds richest examples of cave-art with over 1,500 engravings and 600 drawings having been documented.The caves have been banned from the public since 1963 because the carbon dioxide given out by the human started to began to show some negative impacts on the ancient artworks. The caves are even listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. However since 2008, the caves have been completely closed off to the public following a fungal outbreak, with only a small handful of scientists allowed to enter for just a few days a month in order to study the paintings.

4.Tomb of the Qin Shi Huang, China 

Location: Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Lintong District, China


The tomb of China’s first Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, who died in 210 BC, is buried deep beneath a hill in Central China. The burial complex consists of a complicated network of underground caverns that were filled with all the things the emperor would need in the afterlife, including clay reproductions of his armies, family, servants, horses, and staff, widely known as the Terracotta Army. Since its initial discovery in 1974, over 2,000 statues have been excavated, each of them completely unique, and experts believe that there may be more that 8,000 in total surrounding the central tomb, still yet to be uncovered. However, the Chinese government might never allow the excavation of the emperor’s tomb, choosing to respect the ancient burial site.

5. Ise Grand Shrine, Japan

Location: City of Ise, Mie Prefecture of Japan

The Ise Grand Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu. Access to the site is strictly limited, with the common public not allowed beyond sight of the thatched roofs of the central structures, hidden behind four tall wooden fences. However, tourists are free to roam the forest, including its ornamental walkways after Meiji period.

The punch reaches around 45-50 miles per hour in just 3 milliseconds. A saddle shaped part of its exoskeleton which acts similar to a spring boosts the strike speed generated by the muscles.The punch is impossible to see by normal human eyes. We will need high s...

Can a Large Mass of Water Extinguish The Sun ?!!

What can extinguish the sun..? We know water can put out fire. So, what if we manage to bring up a considerably huge mass of water to the sun and drop it there successfully? What will happen? Let's see an approximate amount of energy that reaches the earth from the sun. The earth itself gets about one hundred and seventy trillion kilowatts of energy from the sun in a single day. But is this nowhere near the actual amount that the sun gives out. The sun disburses energy which is two billion times of what we receive at our planet.  All these energy is given out to the outer space. So, let's see what will happen if we drop huge mass of water on sun. In order to know about the outcome, we first need to know how water helps put out fire down here at earth. The fire needs a fuel for its existance and when water breaks the supply of combustable fuel, it gets extinguished. But in the case of sun, its not normal fire that we are talking about. The source of energy in the sun is ...
