Easter Island Located out in the Pacific ocean

Easter Island
Located out in the Pacific ocean and special territory of Chile, these statues are the only thing left of culture that once lived here. These gigantic and amazingly carved heads are just another reminder that primitive people are not really all that primitive. The stones that attract visitors to this island are made out of volcanic ash and many still remain in the quarry, left by the settlers as diminishing resources on the island left their tribes doomed to war that finally killed them off.

Colosseum/Forum

Colosseum/Forum
The Colosseum and the Forum are right next to each other so I included them together. Remnants of a civilization that once controlled the “known” world, these sites are breathtaking not only for their beauty but for of their history and age. You’re standing in the spot Caesar walked and gazing into the area where gladiators battled to the death. The Colosseum has slowly crumbled throughout the ages and much of it is restricted, especially the floor and basement where everything was organized. There is also a good museum there too. The forum is great to walk around (and it’s free!!), though a ticket is required for Palatine Hill, where Rome’s elite used to live.
