How the emperor chose Concubines to sleep with in Ming dynasty | It Required Intense Scrutiny

As the most powerful man in the country, the emperor of China had thousands of women at his disposal in the forbidden city. Most women in the Forbidden City were employed as maids and servants, however there was also a select group of concubines whose task was to bear children for the emperor as many as he could father, and to satisfy his sexual needs.

These women were chosen from all over the country, and only a few of those who made it through the rigorous process would be noticed by the emperor and win his favour. Most would spend their lives in bitter loneliness, and unsurprisingly, politics and jealousy was rife among concubines. Beauty was more of a curse than a blessing in China during this period of history.

Those purposes don't last forever, though, and when something no longer serves a purpose, it's often demolished. That doesn't happen every time, though. Sometimes the things we build simply become abandoned and end up featuring in videos like this one!

The Ruins Of The Ancient City Of Termessos In Antalya

A visit to the ruins of the ancient city of Termessos is an unforgettable experience, completely different from visiting ancient cities located along the Mediterranean coast.

First of all, to get to Termessos, you need to travel to the altitude of 1000 meters, deep into the Taurus mountain range. The difficulties of this journey are quickly compensated by the vista seen from the ancient theater which is considered to be most ideally situated of all the ancient buildings of its kind in Turkey.

Secondly, this Eagle's Nest, as Termessos was called by Alexander the Great, lies in the National Park where the remains of ancient buildings are nestled among pine forest and a number of rare plant species grow undisturbed by mass tourism.

Finally, Termessos is shrouded in legends and has been the object of fascination and studies conducted by many travelers and scholars, most notable of them being Karol Lanckoronski - a Polish researcher of Pamphylia who traveled throughout this region in the end of the 19th century. The uniqueness of this place has not gone unnoticed by international organizations - Güllük Mountain National Park and the ruins of Termessos are among the candidates for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Woman Who Destroyed an Empire With her Beauty: Yang GuiFei

Yang Guifei was one of the most beautiful and renowned women in Imperial Chinese history. Because of her beauty the emperor neglected his duties, and the Tang dynasty was greatly weakened by a rebellion that ensued. Even though she was the wife of his son, the Emperor was smitten with her beauty, and eventually, he made her his imperial consort. Yang enjoyed a lavish life after becoming the consort of Emperor Xuanzong. However, she soon became the victim of courtly intrigue, which ultimately forced her to commit suicide led to her death.

The Sphinx Temple Origins: Controversy, Lack of Data and Unanswered Questions

More than 40 years ago, Egyptologist Mark Lehner and geologist Thomas Aigner conducted a study on the Sphinx, the Khafre Valley Temple and the Sphinx Temple, to try and prove the hypothesis that the temple blocks originate from the Sphinx enclosure, and, if correct, it would mean the age of the creation of the Sphinx is likely the same age as the two temples in front of it.

The importance of the study can therefore not be underestimated, especially because, in terms of design, the Sphinx Temple certainly looks to be 4th dynasty, and secondly, thermoluminescence dating that took place in 2013 placed its construction well within the bounds of the 4th dynasty.

Aigner logged each limestone bedrock layer on the Giza Plateau, including those present on the Sphinx core body, recording the lithic qualities and fossil content, and he assigned each limestone layer a number.

Meanwhile, Lehner re-mapped the Valley and Sphinx Temples in detail, numbering each block. Aigner had identified seven types of limestone at Giza, and these were labelled A to G. Lehner assigned each limestone block in the temples to one of the seven layers, and colour-coded them so we can see where they came from.

According to Lehner, the mapping project seemed to confirm the hypothesis, but even though it's been around 40 years since the scientific project, no hard data and no scientific study has ever been published.

In this video, we show there is reasonable doubt to question what we are told, and unless the data from the geological surveys are published, it is unscientific to accept the idea that the blocks that make up the Sphinx Temple, originated in the Sphinx enclosure. Watch this video to learn more.

What was the Earth like 500 million years ago? | Documentary History of the Earth

Where do we come from? How was the world around us formed?

Powerful engines of reflection, these questions answer a visceral need to know our origins, our belonging and to understand this world around us.

Our planet, the Earth, is a planet similar to the others. Like the others, it is unique. The planets share a part of their history but have then evolved differently developing their own individualities. The Earth is the only planet known to harbor life. Among all the organisms that have succeeded each other, one of them has demonstrated a strong capacity to master its environment and adapt it to its needs: Man.

Man hates ignorance. He therefore started to study these questions very early on in order to understand the Earth. But can we really claim to know the Earth when so many interpretations and uncertainties come into play? Man studies the subject, first through philosophy, then through geology. The study of the lithosphere reveals an astonishing amount of information allowing us to go back to its formation. Today, a history of the Earth since its birth is written, but the scenario is not fixed and will continue to evolve with the discoveries. Its appearance has not always been that of the beautiful, calm and peaceful blue planet. Its birth and its "early childhood" took place in chaos, an unprecedented hell in which unimaginable heat reigns.

How did it evolve to become the Earth as we know it today?
