Treasures are found all the time, from ancient artefacts to modern masterpieces, but most of the time they're only discovered after extensive research.Here are the stories of the top 10 most amazing treasures to ever be found by accident.

Be Amazed at these 10 Most Amazing Treasures Found by Accident!

The Dead Sea Scrolls  - There are so many unexplored places in the world that you can never be sure quite when the next amazing find will be made.

Strange Places Around The World



From the worlds most dangerous road to bizarre architecture these are the worlds strangest places. 


8. Lake Retba, Senegal

 Senegal is home to the magnificent pink lake, more formally known as Lake Retba. With a high salt content, the lake’s famous pink color is caused by algae called dunaliella salina. This algae produces the red pigment to help it in absorbing light. The phenomenon is most visible between November and June and less visible during the winter. The high salt content in the lake gives it high buoyancy, meaning that people float very easily in its waters. 

7. Hill of Crosses, Lithuania

Northern Lithuania hosts a pilgrimage to the Hill of Crosses. Although it is unknown when the practice of leaving crosses on this hill began, it is believed that the practice began in 1931 after the Uprising at the Domantai hill fort. Over time more than just crosses were left there – statues, crucifixes, carvings, rosaries, and other effigies have been placed here by Catholic pilgrims over the years. It is estimated that even back in 2006 there were as many as 100,000 crosses on the hill. Religious or not, this place has an eerie look to it.

6. North Yungas Road, Bolivia

If there were ever a road you wouldn’t want to be caught in the fog on, it would have to be Yungas Road in Bolivia. The road is not-so-affectionately called Death Road by locals, and for serious reasons. Considered to be the world’s most dangerous road, it stretches from La Paz to Coroico, Bolivia. It is estimated that every year, 200-300 travelers die along the road. Take a look at the narrow path and steep drop that awaits less-than-expert drivers! 

5. Mir Mine in Mirny, Eastern Siberia

Mir Mine is a former open pit diamond mine in Eastern Siberia. At 525m deep and with a diameter of 1200m, it is the fourth largest in the world. It is also the second largest excavation site in on earth. After 44 years of operation by various groups, the mine was closed in 2004. It is now left open and unused. Even the airspace above the mine is closed to helicopters because of incidents in which drafts have sucked them down into the mine. 

4. Crooked Forest, Poland

A grove of oddly shaped pine trees in Poland make up the Crooked Forest. The 400 or so pine trees were planted deliberately around the year 1930, but no one knows what the technique used to form them in this way. The reason for changing their growth this way is also unknown. It is thought that it may have been done for easier furniture or boat building. It is also speculated that natural weather phenomena may have caused the trees to grow this way on their own. At the end of the way we have to accept that we will probably never know.

3. Palm Islands, Dubai

The Palm Islands may be one of the most bizarre locations to be found on earth. In Dubai there are two man made islands shaped like palm trees. They are still under construction, but one is now complete. The islands are shaped like a palm tree surrounded by a crescent circle. These islands are being designed with over 500 kilometers of beaches, residential areas, and leisure and entertainment centers. These islands are sometimes considered to be the eighth wonder of the world. The breakwater around the palm tree spells out a line of poetry, “it takes a man of vision to write on water.”


2. Island of Dolls, Mexico

If the kind of bizarre you’re looking for is creepy, then consider the Island of Dolls in Mexico. Legends say that a young girl was found drowned in mysterious circumstances on the island. A doll was found nearby and presumed to belong to the girl. As a sign of respect the doll was hung in a tree. Over the years more and more dolls were hung in an effort to “appease her spirit.” Now hundreds of dolls of all sorts are hung and impaled around the island. Rumor has it that during the night the dolls can be seen moving their mutilated arms and legs, turning their heads, and following you with their eyes. That’s about the creepiest thing I can imagine, and definitely one of the most bizarre.

1.White Temple Thailand

The famous White Temple in Thailand is actually called Wat Rong Khun. Opened to visitors in 1997, this art exhibit is in the style of a Buddhist temple. A local artist has taken on the task of designing and renovating the temple after it fell into disrepair. In order to preserve the spirit of Buddhist teaching, he does not accept large donations for renovation, and admission is free. There are areas for learning and meditation. The main building is reached by crossing a bridge over a small lake of hundreds of reaching hands. After crossing the bridge, the Gate of Heaven is guarded by Death and Rahu. There is unending symbolism to the architecture and design of the place. This is easily one 
of the strangest and most bizarre places in the world.

20 Most Impressive Actor Makeup Transformations



From Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder to Bonnie Aarons as as Valak, here are the 20 Most Impressive Actor Makeup Transformations. 


#  8 Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder
In the 2008 comedy Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise transformed from his normal handsome leading man appearance into that of a lame looking and toxic studio exec. He goes from his usual mop of hair into a half-balding cap, a hairy chest of hair and huge meaty hand prosthetics. Combined with a name like “Les Grossman” this role would become one of Cruise’s more iconic roles.  

# 7 Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter
If there’s any movie that would have excessive layers of makeup on someone it would be Alice in Wonder and who else to layer all that makeup on than Hollywood’s infamous chameleon, Johnny Depp. To turn into the Mad Hatter, Johnny Depp had to wear makeup to become a porcelain white and hid underneath a crazy wig of red hair. Johnny Depp is nearly unrecognizable underneath that huge mad hat. 

# 6 Helena Bonham Carter in Alice in Wonderland
It would be easy to believe that Helena Bonham Carter’s role in Alice in Wonderland was completely CGI but much of the work was actually done with real makeup and wardrobe. Helena endured hours of makeup to become the Red Queen, although her head was doubled in size in post-production to make her look more cartoonish and evil. 

#5 Elizabeth Banks in the Hunger Games
Elizabeth Banks played Effie Trinket, a super rich TV host that always dressed in impractical and candy-hued makeup and wardrobe. She often wears edgy fashion with bold makeup looks that often forced Banks to endure two hours every day to transform into the eccentric character. 

# 4 Bette Midler’s Winifred the Evil Witch
One of Bette Midler’s most iconic roles was as Winifred Sanderson, one of the three evil witches in Disney’s Hocus Pocus. Bette Midler looks truly haggish and cartoonish in her makeup for the movie. With small graphic lips and no eyebrows topped with an enormous mop of red curly hair, Bette Midler gets lost in the role, and you really believe she’s transformed into a kooky witch from hundreds of years of ago. 

#3 Ron Perlman as Hellboy
Ron Perlman is the actor behind Hellboy, and while he stands a tall 6’1” out of costume, he is definitely not the same huge red muscular demon man as Hellboy. To take on the role he wore almost a full prosthetic suit including a full face of prosthetics around his chin face and head, in addition to that huge iconic Hellboy arm he had to wear. According to Perlman himself, the only part of his body still showing after makeup were his eyelids which were painted red. 

#2 Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice
Michael Keaton has a pretty recognizable face, starring in roles like Batman and Birdman but in one of his most memorable roles as Beetlejuice, you can barely find Keaton underneath the layers of costume and makeup. It’s only expected that a mischievous trickster ghost would look as zany as Beetlejuice. 

# 1 Valak
The Conjuring 2 is about the Hodgsons, a family that is being haunted by a truly terrifying entity that we eventually find to be the demon nun named Valak. Valak is a terrifying monster of a woman with dark eyes and sandy pale skin. Bonnie Aarons is the woman behind the role and she donned layers of makeup to become the monstrous spirit from the movie. Combined with some special effects and amazing acting from Aarons, you forget that Valak is just a woman in a costume and not a real life monster.

The History of a Song: ‘Lady Marmalade’ Pt.2


The song has had many cover versions over the years.






The History of a Song: ‘Lady Marmalade’ Pt.1


"Lady Marmalade" is a song written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan. The song is famous for its sexually suggestive chorus of "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)?", which translates into English as "Do you want to sleep with me (tonight)?" The song was originally recorded in 1974 by the group Eleventh Hour. It first became a popular hit when covered by the American girl group Labelle. Labelle held the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week, and also topped the Canadian RPM national singles chart.






Songwriter Bob Crewe supposedly heard the tune’s famous phrase on the lips of hookers while visiting the French Quarter
In 2001, Lady Marmalade was featured as part of a medley in the film Moulin Rouge!. For the film’s soundtrack album, Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, MĂ˝a, and Pink recorded a cover version; it was released as the soundtrack’s first single in spring 2001. Produced by Missy Elliott and writing partner Rockwilder, it features an intro and outro from Elliott. A lyric was changed from the original version, with the song’s setting being transferred from New Orleans to the Paris nightclub Moulin Rouge. 



The song became a number-one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for the second time, reaching number one in its eighth week and spending five weeks at the top of the chart. It was the third song in Billboard chart history (after Aaliyah’s 2000 single Try Again and Shaggy’s 2001 single Angel) to hit number one without being released in a major commercially available single format. Lady Marmalade was Aguilera’s fourth US number-one single and first-time number-ones for Kim, Pink, and MĂ˝a in the US. For Aguilera, the song would be her last number one until 2011’s Moves Like Jagger collaboration with Maroon 5. It would be Pink’s only number-one hit until 2008, when her single So What reached the top. It remained in the top forty for seventeen weeks in the US, and topped the charts in fifteen different countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia. 

The song also holds the record for the longest reigning no.1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40 chart for an all female collaboration, topping the chart for nine consecutive weeks. Lady Marmalade is the best-selling single for Lil’ Kim and MĂ˝a. Lil’ Kim also held the record for having the longest number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 for a female rapper, with Lady Marmalade being on the top of the charts for 5 consecutive weeks, until Australian female rapper Iggy Azalea’s Fancy held on to the number one position for 7 weeks in 2014.  Lady Marmalade was the top selling song of 2001 and has sold 5.2 million copies worldwide as of December 2001.

Allmusic’s Brand Kohlenstein praised the song by highlighting it, adding that the ladies “teamed up for a surefire hit with their naughtier version of Patti Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade.”” Slant Magazine editor praised the collaboration, too: “the track is simply an accolade to the performers’ various distinctive styles, with Lil’ Kim trashing it up and Aguilera caterwauling her way through the second half of the song.”
The music video, directed by Paul Hunter, features all four performers in lingerie (rapper Missy Elliott makes a couple of small appearances.) and was filmed at the end of March 2001 on sets (Los Angeles) built to resemble the actual Moulin Rouge night club around the turn of the century (1890–1910). The video won the MTV Video Music Award for “Best Video of the Year” and “Best Video from a Film”; it was also nominated for “Best Dance Video”, “Best Pop Video”, “Best Choreography” (Tina Landon), and “Best Art Direction”. The song won a 2002 Grammy Award in the category of “Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals”.
