Let's Know About The 8th Wonder Of The World
You all know there are 7 Wonders of the World which are the epitome and reflection of human art and advance civilization of history including the great mystery of how they were built like that during such an unadvanced age. Every wonder of the world has some unique mystery and attraction related to it.
But let me inform you if you aren't informed that there are 8 Wonders Of the world. So let's update ourselves. Also, the 8th position has changed in past years a lot but this time for 2-3 years it's holding its ground strong. But majorly there always will be 7 Wonders Of The World.
It's 'Sigiriya' in Srilanka, an ancient rock fortress made with a unique mechanism on a big rock 200 meter high. It was built during the rule of King 'Kasyapa' who ruled during the period of 477-495AD which seems very historic and old.
Features Of This Location
This location is also known as Lion's rock as it has a structure designed like a huge lion with a staircase emerging from the lion's mouth which got destroyed by natural force but the paws are still there.
This was the residence of the ruling King Kasyapa during that time and later on used as a Buddhist monastery.
The walls of the mountains are yet very polished as if one can see their reflection. The archaeologists say during the King's time these rocks were completely like mirrors.
The location has a great advanced hydraulic system consisting of lakes, canals, fountains, dams, and even underground water pumps to provide water to the gardens of Sigiriya today, can you imagine this level of advancement in history?
I was reading the newspaper with tons of negative news as usual and caught this one, gladly they have posted enough content to pique my interest.
A Very Advanced Wonder
Just like other wonders of the world, this location seems very advanced to me in terms of architecture and future planning and it's still a mystery how people of that era were able to create mirror walls and a such hydraulic system that could supply water to its garden without any human reliance in future. This was made to be a relic and an example of how great historic humans were. And the place is pretty much still standing strong as it's built on a mountain by cutting and shaping it. There's a stair built so that people can reach the location.
I am thinking did the King really thought of this by himself but I think a lot of other people from his court were involved. He must have lived a fictional King like life making his dream location. Seeing the world from a such high place everyday. Walking down the stairs to see his people of the kingdom.

Final Thoughts
Such an interesting location definitely deserves a spot in Wonders of the World and it got it. Now knowing about this I am sure we humans are very intelligent creatures, lol.
Here's a video of that place, I saw someone saying it was built by aliens, I think that's Karen from her fake account. This is totally a man-made structure. The people there are proof of it and they have passed most of this information in fact, UNESCO and other famous archaeologists have confirmed the truth about this location's history.
Ah, now my mind is attracted to exploring the Wonders Of The World. Another adventure added to my goal list.

It's like those times they had some sort of the aircraft for faster travel because I can't imagine using stair like slow methods to rule in kingdom isn't it?
