🇯🇴 The "Lost" City of Petra, Jordan. Carved into red desert sandstone cliffs in southern Jordan, #Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Shaped by wind and time, its rock-cut façades stand as a reminder that even great civilisations fade.

For centuries, Petra was lost to the outside world until Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt “rediscovered” it in 1812.

Fans of Indiana Jones will immediately recognise the second photo!🤠

It's time to share my visit to the magical place 'Machu Picchu' 🤍



Early in the morning, around 5:30 am, I boarded the bus that brought me (and all the other tourists) up the mountain to the entrance of Machu Picchu. I was so happy that the rain had stopped by the time we arrived. At 6 o'clock, the gate opened and I could enter the sacred place with the first group of visitors. The thick white clouds and fog were still hanging very low and covered the 'lost city of the Incas' entirely. After a while, the clouds and fog revealed the famous view. It was a truly magical moment! 🥰



I can't tell you a lot about the three hour visit. I can not really put it in words. I was just incredibly in awe and so so grateful to be there 💖



Here some facts:

The site was built in the 15th century, during the height of the Inca Empire, and is believed to have been constructed as a royal estate or religious retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti.

Machu Picchu was largely forgotten by the outside world until it was rediscovered in 1911 by the American historian and explorer Hiram Bingham, who brought the site to international attention. In 1983, Machu Picchu was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The site holds great spiritual and cultural significance for the Quechua people.

UNESCO: Schweizer Jodeln ist immaterielles Kulturerbe

Als "schreckliche Jubelschreie der Hirten" wurde es schon im 4. Jahrhundert erwähnt - nun hat die UNESCO das Schweizer Jodeln als immaterielles Kulturerbe anerkannt. Es sei eine Kulturpraxis, die "Einheit stifte", hieß es im Antrag.

@josemere se ha puesto a ordenar los discos duros y ahora estamos encontrando cosas de todo tipo, pequeñas joyas de la vida que ni siquiera recordaba. Como aquel día que, en un congreso que abría el Año Internacional de la Astronomía #IYA2009, en enero de 2009 en el IAU Symposium 260, me dejaron hablar de mis cosas en la #UNESCO en París.
Esa mañana fue cuando conocí con Julieta Fierro, que hacía una presentación justo después de mí.
