     The World's Longest Bridges 

  Officially, the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge is the world's longest bridge. It is part of the high-speed train between Beijing and Shanghai, one of China's most significant rail connections, and it stretches for no less than 102.4 miles (164.8 kilometers). 

      After it was unveiled on 30th June 2011, it was recognised by the Guinness World Records as the longest bridge in the world. Given that it stands at 100 feet (30 meters) tall and required the labor of more than 10,000 individuals, its statistics are undoubtedly amazing. 

      You can enjoy the stunning views if you ever find yourself riding a fast train over this bridge. While you take in the scenery, lowlands, lakes, rivers, and rice paddies will pass by the train window.

            The Pyramid in Egypt          Ancient conquerors and travelers were enthralled by the Egyptian pyramids, and today's tourists, mathematicians, and archeologists who visit, investigate, measure, and describe them are still in awe of them. Mastabas, or bench-shaped mounds, were used as the early Egyptian monarchs' tombs. Imhotep, King Djoser's architect, constructed the first pyramid around 2780 BCE by stacking six mastababas, each smaller than the one below, to create a pyramid that rose in steps. This Step Pyramid is located at Sakkara, close to Memphis, on the western bank of the Nile River. It has a number of rooms and tunnels, including the king's burial chamber, just like later pyramids.         Under the rule of King Snefru, the Fourth Dynasty's founder, the Step Pyramid was converted into a real, smooth-sided pyramid (2680–2560 BCE). A step pyramid was constructed at Medum, then it was...

      Red Sea "ARABIC"              The Red Sea is around 2,250 km (1,400 mi) long, 355 km (221 km) wide at its widest point, and has a surface area of about 438,000 km2 (169,000 sq mi)[1]. Its maximum depth of 3,040 m is found in the central Suakin Trough, and its average depth is 490 m (1,610 ft) (9,970 ft).  Extensive shallow shelves of the Red Sea are also known for their corals and marine life. More than 1,000 invertebrate species as well as 200 different kinds of soft and hard coral can be found in the ocean. It has been named a Global 200 ecoregion and is the most northern tropical sea in the world.          Ancient Egyptians tried to build trade routes to Punt, therefore they began the oldest recorded exploration of the Red Sea. There were two such expeditions, one in the year 2500 BC and the other in the year 1500 BC (by Hatshepsut). Both required lengthy trips via the Red Sea. [14] The Israelites c...
