Teotihuacan a largest pyramidal structures in Mexico

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 16:29:00 +0000

An enormous archaeological site in the Basin of Mexico is Teotihuacan containing some of the largest pyramidal structures built in the pre-Columbian Americas which is just 30 miles northeast of Mexico City. Teotihuacan is thought to have been established around 100 BC and continued to be built until about 250 AD and may lasted until sometime between the 7th and 8th centuries AD.Approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of Mexico City which is now the San Juan Teotihuacán municipality in the State of México, Mexico, the city and the archaeological site are located in.
For many years, archaeologists believed Teotihuacan was built by the Toltec but the early history of Teotihuacan is quite mysterious and the origin of its founders is debated. Teotihuacan reached its peak in 450 AD, when it was the center of a powerful culture whose influence extended through much of the Mesoamerican region.The city covered over 30 km² (over 11½ square miles), and perhaps housed a population of 150,000 people, with one estimate reaching as high as 250,000. Teotihuacan is known for producing a great number of obsidian artifacts with the city was a center of industry, home to many potters, jewelers and craftsmen. Evidence for population decline beginning around the 6th century lends some support to the internal unrest hypothesis. The decline of Teotihuacan has been correlated to lengthy droughts related to the climate changes of 535-536 AD.
The religion of Teotihuacan was similar to that of other Mesoamerican cultures. Many of the same gods were worshiped, including the Feathered Serpent (the Aztecs' Quetzalcoatl) and Rain God (the Aztecs' Tlaloc.).

A self governing parliamentary island of Cook Island

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:46:00 +0000

The Cook Islands is a self-governing parliamentary democracy in the South Pacific Ocean in free association with New Zealand. The Cook Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) covers 1,800,000 square kilometres (690,000 sq mi) of ocean but the 15 small islands have a total land area of 240 square kilometres (92.7 sq mi). The main population centres are on the island of Rarotonga (14,153 in 2006), where there is an international airport.

In the 2010-11 financial year with about 100,000 visitors travelling to the islands, the country's main industry is,tourism and the economy is the leading element, far ahead of offshore banking, pearls, and marine and fruit exports.
Geography:
The Cook Islands are in the South Pacific Ocean, north-east of New Zealand, between French Polynesia and American Samoa. Over 2.2 million km² of ocean there are 15 major islands spread, and divided in the Southern Cook Islands and the Northern Cook Islands of coral atolls. The climate is moderate to tropical.
The 15 islands and two reefs are grouped as follows:
Southern Cook Islands: Nga-pu-Toru ("Three Roots", the eastern islands), Atiu (Enua Manu or Island of Birds), Ma`uke(Akatokamanava), Mitiaro (Nukuroa) , Takutea
Other island : Aituaki(Araura Enua), Mangaia(Auau Enua), Rarotonga(Tumutevarovaro), Parmaston Island(pamayi) Manuae
Northern Cook Island: Manihiki, Nassau, Penrhyn island, Pukapuka, Rakahanga, Suwarrow, Tema Reef
History:
The Cook Islands were first settled in the 6th century CE by Polynesian people who migrated from nearby Tahiti, to the southeast.
In the 16th century Spanish ships visited the islands; the first written record of contact with the Islands came with the sighting of Pukapuka by Spanish sailor Álvaro de Mendaña de Neira in 1595 who called it San Bernardo (Saint Bernard). Portuguese-Spaniard Pedro Fernández de Quirós, made the first recorded European landing in the islands when he set foot on Rakahanga in 1606, calling it Gente Hermosa (Beautiful People).

British navigator Captain James Cook arrived in 1773 and 1777 and named the islands the Hervey Islands; the name "Cook Islands", In the 1820s in honour of Cook, appeared on a Russian naval chart published.
In 1813, John Williams, made the first recorded sighting of Rarotonga a missionary on the Endeavour (not the same ship as Cook's). The first recorded landing on Rarotonga by Europeans was in 1814 by the Cumberland; The islands saw no more Europeans until missionaries arrived from England in 1821. Christianity quickly took hold in the culture and many islanders continue to be Christian believers today.
In 1888 the Cook Islands became a British protectorate , due largely to community fears that France might occupy the territory as it had Tahiti. In 1901, the New Zealand Government decided to annex the country despite opposition from the country's traditional chiefs.
Politics and foreign relations:
With a parliamentary system the Cook Islands is a representative democracy in an associated state relationship with New Zealand. Executive power is cancel by the government, with the Chief Minister as head of government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Parliament of the Cook Islands. There is a pluri form multi-party system. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. The Head of State is the Queen of New Zealand, who is represented in the Cook Islands by the Queen's Representative.
The islands are self-governing in "free association" with New Zealand. New Zealand retains primary responsibility for external affairs, with consultation with the Cook Islands government. Cook Islands nationals are citizens of New Zealand and can avail of New Zealand government services, but the reverse is not true; New Zealand citizens are not Cook Island nationals. Despite this, as of 2011, the Cook Islands had diplomatic relations in its own name with 34 other countries. The Cook Islands is not a United Nations full member, but does participate in WHO and UNESCO, and is an associate member of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).
Administrative subdivisions:
Except Nassau there are island councils on all of the inhabited outer islands , which is governed by Pukapuka . Each council is headed by a mayor.There are three vaka councils of Rarotonga established in 1997 (Rarotonga Local Government Act 1997), also headed by mayors, were abolished in February 2008, despite much controversy.
Economy:
The economy is strongly affected by geography. It is isolated from foreign markets, and has inadequate infrastructure; it lacks major natural resources and suffers greatly from natural disasters. Agriculture provides the economic base and manufacturing is limited. The economy is supported by foreign aid, largely from New Zealand. The Peoples' Republic of China has also contributed foreign aid which has resulted, among other projects, in the Police Headquarters building. The Cook Islands is expanding its tourism, banking, mining and fishing sectors, with varying success.
Language:
The languages of the Cook Islands include English, Cook Islands Māori, or "Rarotongan," and Pukapukan. Dialects of Cook Islands Maor include Penrhyn;
Wildlife:
The national flower of the Cook Islands is the Tiare māori or Tiale māoli (Penrhyn, Nassau, Pukapuka). The Cook Islands are infested with Kiore toka (Ship rat) and Polynesian rat. The infestation has devastated the bird population on the islands. In April 2007, 27 Kuhl's Lorikeet were re-introduced to Atiu from Rimatara. Fossil and oral traditions indicate that the species was formerly on at least five islands of the southern group. Excessive exploitation for its red feathers is the most likely reason for the species's extinction in the Cook Islands.

The Taj Mahal a great creation of Mughal emperor

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:59:00 +0000

The Taj Mahal from "crown of palaces", pronounced also "the Taj is a white Marblemausoleum located in Agra, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage." In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

While the white domedmarble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.
In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire's period of greatest prosperity, was grief-stricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal.. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632. The court chronicles of Shah Jahan's grief illustrate the love story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj Mahal. The principal mausoleum was completed in 1648 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished five years later. Emperor Shah Jahan himself described the Taj in these words.
In line with the Islamic prohibition against the use of anthropomorphic forms, the decorative elements can be grouped into either calligraphy, abstract forms or vegetative motifs.
The calligraphy on the Great Gate reads "O Soul, thou art at rest. Return to the Lord at peace with Him, and he at peace with you."
The complex is set around a large 300-metre (980 ft) square charbagh or Mughal garden. The garden uses raised pathways that divide each of the four quarters of the garden into 16 sunkenparterres or flowerbeds. A raised marble water tank at the center of the garden, halfway between the tomb and gateway with a reflecting pool on a north-south axis, reflects the image of the mausoleum.

The Taj Mahal attracts between 2 million and 4 million visitors annually, including more than 200,000 from overseas. A dual- pricing system is in place, with a significantly lower entrance fee for Indian citizens than for foreigners. Most tourists visit in the cooler months of October, November and February. Polluting traffic is not allowed near the complex and tourists must either walk from parking lots or catch an electric bus. The Khawasspuras (northern courtyards) are currently being restored for use as a new visitor center.
Lists of recommended travel destinations often feature the Taj Mahal, which also appears in several listings of seven wonders of the modern world, including the recently announced New Seven Wonders of the World, a recent poll with 100 million votes.

Campeche (Spanish pronunciation: [kamˈpetʃe]) is one of the 31 states which, with the Federal District, comprise the 32 Federal Entities of Mexico. Located in Southeast Mexico, it is bordered by the states of Yucatán to the north east, Quintana Roo to the east, and Tabasco to the south west. To the south it is bordered by the Petén department of Guatemala, to the east by Belize and to the west by the Gulf of Mexico. The state capital, also called Campeche, was declared a World Heritage Site in 1997. The formation of the state began with the city, which was founded in 1540 as the Spanish began the conquest of the Yucatán Peninsula. Durin

the colonial period, the city was a rich and important port, but declined after Mexico’s Independence. Campeche was part of the province of Yucatán but split off in the mid 19th century, mostly due to political friction with city of Mérida. Today, much of the state’s economic comeback is due to the finding of petroleum offshore in the 1970s, which has made the coastal cities of Campeche and Ciudad del Carmen important economic centers. The state has important Mayan and colonial sites but they are not as well known or visited as others in the Yucatán.
