1. The Village Frozen in Time

Oradour-sur-Glane, France

A silent French village stands exactly as it was left after a horrific WWII massacre, preserved as a permanent memorial.

2. The Desert Ocean Graveyard

Wadi Al-Hitan, Egypt

Deep in the Egyptian desert lies a valley littered with the fossilized skeletons of ancient whales, proof it was once a vast ocean.

Rila Monastery, Bulgaria

Hidden deep in Bulgaria's Rila Mountains, this vibrant Eastern Orthodox monastery was a spiritual and cultural bulwark against Ottoman rule for centuries.

4. The Village Inside the Stone Circle

Avebury, England

Unlike its famous cousin Stonehenge, you can walk among the colossal Neolithic stones of Avebury, a site so ancient an entire village was built directly within its embrace.

5. The Enigmatic Scottish Chapel

Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland

This 15th-century chapel, famous for its 'Apprentice Pillar,' is a marvel of intricate carvings that some believe hide secrets of the Knights Templar and ancient wisdom.

Monemvasia, Greece

A breathtaking medieval fortress city built entirely on a giant rock island, Monemvasia is invisible from the mainland until you round a specific bend in the road.

7. Ethiopia's Royal Enclosure

Fasil Ghebbi, Gondar, Ethiopia
