    1.) Angkor Wat - also known as the “City/Capital of Temples,” is a remarkable temple complex located in Cambodia. Angkor Wat is situated near Siem Reap, Cambodia. The temple complex covers an extensive area, measuring approximately 162.6 hectares. It resides within the ancient Khmer capital city of Angkor. Originally constructed during the 12th century by King Suryavarman II, Angkor Wat was initially a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu. Over time, it evolved into a Buddhist temple, making it a unique blend of both Hindu and Buddhist influences. King Suryavarman II built Angkor Wat as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Its layout symbolically represents Mount Meru, the mythical abode of the devas in Hindu cosmology. The temple complex features three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next, surrounded by a 5-kilometer-long moat and a 3.6-kilometer-long outer wall. At its center stands a quincunx of towers. The modern name “Angkor Wat” means “Temple City” or “City of Temples” in Khmer.Angkor itself means “city” or “capital city” in vernacular Khmer.The original name of the temple was “Vrah Viṣṇuloka” or “Parama Viṣṇuloka”, signifying “the sacred dwelling of Vishnu”. Guinness World Records recognizes Angkor Wat as the largest religious structure in the world.
    2.) The Taj Mahal - also known as the “Crown of the Palace,” is an exquisite ivory-white marble mausoleum located on the right bank of the river Yamuna in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.The Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1631 by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, as a tribute to his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Mumtaz Mahal passed away in 1631, and the emperor vowed to create a magnificent memorial in her honor. The Taj Mahal is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture, blending Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles. Construction began in 1631 and continued for a decade. The mausoleum houses the tombs of both Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan. The complex spans 17 hectares and includes a mosque, a guest house, and formal gardens surrounded by a crenellated wall. The cost of building the Taj Mahal was estimated at around US$ 498 million today. In 1983, the Taj Mahal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal attracts 7-8 million visitors annually. In 2007, it was declared one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. The name “Taj Mahal” is of Urdu origin, derived from Arabic and Persian. "Taj” comes from the corruption of the second syllable of “Mumtaz”, Shah Jahan’s wife. It means “crown palace” in Urdu.
    3.) The Egyptian pyramids - are ancient masonry structures located in Egypt. At least 118 identified “Egyptian” pyramids exist, with approximately 80 of them built within the Kingdom of Kush (now part of modern Sudan). Most of the Egyptian pyramids were constructed as tombs for pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. The earliest known Egyptian pyramid is found at Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. It dates back to the First Dynasty and is attributed to Pharaoh Anedjib. Other structures from this period may also have existed. The most famous Egyptian pyramids are located at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Among them, the Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) stands as the largest Egyptian pyramid and is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. It dates back about 4,500 years. The Giza complex also includes the Pyramid of Menkaure and the Pyramid of Khafre. Pyramids served as royal tombs, where pharaohs were buried along with their treasures and belongings. Their design symbolized the pharaoh’s ascent to the afterlife and their eternal power. In Egyptian, the word for pyramid is “myr”, represented by the hieroglyphic symbol !myr. The exact meaning of “myr” remains unclear, but it is often translated as “high place”.
    4.)The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood - is a Russian Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It serves as both a secular museum and an active church. The church was constructed between 1883 and 1907. It stands on the site where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated by political nihilists in March 1881. Funded by the Romanov imperial family, it honors Emperor Alexander II, and the suffix “on [Spilled] Blood” refers to his assassination. The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is a stunning example of Russian Revival architecture. It is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal in Saint Petersburg. On March 13, 1881, as Emperor Alexander II’s carriage passed along the embankment, an anarchist conspirator threw a grenade. An elaborate shrine, resembling a ciborium, was constructed at the end of the church opposite the altar, precisely where Alexander II was wounded.
