#6 – Carnac, Brittany, France
It seems endless labyrinth of ritualistic structures of stones, creating intricate patterns, complying with its laws and driving the uninitiated minds crazy. It is estimated that there are about four thousand of such people, divided into three groups, although it is believed that they were a single entity at one time.
It seems that stones offer to everyone a kind of quest - if you reach the tomb called "Kercado" starting from the southern tip with a mound over it - you're lucky. You'll have fame, money, and happiness in personal life. If no - time will show. Some people, like the old-timers say, wander through the winding paths of the rays eternally surly Breton sun.
Buildings, according to scientists, have an age of about 5,000 years.
#5 – Delphi, Greece
Once in the city of the Gulf of Corinth on the slopes of Mount Parnassus people came from all over Greece. And not just so, but to consult with oracul of an ancient world.
It all started with the fact that Apollo killed the wise, but the evil serpent Python, and substituted it with his own priestess Pythia. She easy went into a trance, muttering incoherently, and specially trained priests interpreted the "message of the gods." But in 398 AD. Christian emperor Arkady came there, but not alone, but with an army, and annulled the sanctuary. Fortunately, Delphi themselves were not damaged, but was only neglected.
Visitors of this place even today have visionary ability.
