Historic center of Moscow: Museum of Archeology, Red Square, Subway, Zaryadye Park
The Museum of Archaeology of Moscow is located at a depth of 7 meters in the historic center of Moscow, just several steps from Red Square. Large scale archaeological research took place between 1993 and 1996. The historic center of Moscow has never been unoccupied, and scientists have discovered many items from different eras. The gem of the Museum is the stone supports of the Voskresensky Bridge which was built between 1601 and 1603 during the reign of Tsar Boris Godunov, replacing an old wooden bridge.

9 Ton Gate - Megalithic Miracle at Coral Castle, Florida

We are at coral castle in Florida, and let’s take a look at the most mysterious structure in this castle – called the 9 ton gate. This 8 foot tall revolving gate has not only baffled common people but has also challenged modern day engineers. By the end of this video, I hope you will agree with me that this gate could not have been built by a single man unless he knew some kind of a secret ancient technology.
The nine ton gate no longer works, but here is a smaller 3 ton gate which still works. Edward Leedskalnin considered the 9 ton gate as a master piece and named this place after this gate, so the original name of Coral castle was Rock Gate Park. Ironically the door did not get much attention from experts before it stopped working in 1986. So the owner initially calls a local construction crew and they take a good look at this gate and tell him that they have no idea how to fix it. Now, the owner decides to call the quote on quote “educated engineers” and calls the University of Florida. They send in a team of 6 engineers and they arrive with plenty of modern equipment including a 20 ton crane. Now, keep in mind Ed did not use any modern equipment and built this door without anyone’s help.
When the engineers took the door down, they saw that Ed had not only modified simple car parts like axle shaft and ball bearings of a 1918 ford truck, but had also used a strange circular stone at the bottom. The engineers couldn't understand how this Frisbee sized rock could withstand 9 tons of weight. So, they sent it to the geology department in the University of Florida. Guess what happened? A month later, the expert geologists simply returned the rock to coral castle and told the owner “hey, We have compared this rock with almost all other types of rocks on this planet, and we have even compared it with meteorites, but we cannot determine the origin of this rock. “So, where did this rock come from? How did a man with a fourth grade education who rode nothing more than a bike, get a hold of this rock?
Anyways, the engineers put the gate back with new shaft and new bearings, but removed the rock because they were the experts and they could do better than the uneducated Ed Leedskalnin. You know what happened? It got stuck, and did not move. Believe it or not they had to shave the rock down, to make it work. This just proves that 6 experts with all their modern techniques could not duplicate what Ed had done single-handedly without modern equipment or techniques.
Now the original door which lasted from 1936 to 1986 could be moved by an 8 year old girl with one finger. After 1986, it was not that easy, but a grown man could move the door with one hand. But it only lasted until 2004 and then it ceased. At that time, 3 different teams of engineers looked at it and basically said “Leave it alone, it could crack open like an egg”. Because this rock is made of honeycomb coral, which is very brittle and it will break if you give a strong tap with a hammer. How could Ed quarry and cut this huge stone without breaking it? And how could Ed drill a hole exactly through the center of balance even though this rock is not a perfect rectangle?
Now, he claimed that he could build Coral Castle because he knew the secret behind the construction of the great pyramid. Strabo, a Greek geographer found a similar revolving door in the pyramid of Giza. He has documented that in 24 B.C while exploring the Pyramid, he stumbled on a large rectangular door made of rock. He mentions that this door leads to a long, narrow passage and when the door is shut, it is so perfect that it seems like any other rock in the Pyramid. Today, experts are still searching for this door. This raises the question if Ed really knew the secret behind the Pyramid of Giza? Is that why he was able to build a similar door in Coral castle?
Finally, there are many people who claim that Ed was simply a con man and a pseudoscientist. Here we have a pseudoscientist who could quarry, cut and put in place a 9 ton door without anyone’s help or modern technology. And we have the real scientists who come in as a team and with all their modern equipment and scientific calculations cannot duplicate what a pseudoscientist created. So you tell me, who the real scientist is and who should be labeled as pseudoscientists?

The construction of Zaha’s Messner Museum
Watch how Zaha Hadid Architects constructed a museum on a mountain-top in this timelapse video
Drone footage captures Zaha Hadid's mountaintop museum in South Tyrol
This video shot by drone captures the late Zaha Hadid's Messner Mountain Museum, which is half buried into the peak of an Alpine mountain in Italy.
The footage offers a drone's eye view of the large volumes of the museum, which appear to burst through the rockface of Mount Kronplatz at 2,275 metres above sea level.
Dezeen commissioned videographer Alaïa Fonk to shoot the film during a trip to South Tyrol to explore the region's contemporary architecture scene.
Fonk's footage shows off the museum's curved forms. One cantilevers over the valley, while two others form windows, offering views from the underground galleries.
More glass-reinforced fibre concrete forms emerge from the ground to create canopies that frame the building's entrance.
The museum is the final instalment in a series of six mountain museums in South Tyrol commissioned by Reinhold Messner – the first climber to reach the summit of Mount Everest without additional oxygen.

A museum in North Miami has 1,200 vehicles for public view as well as the largest James Bond memorab
More than 1,000 cars are on display at the 250,000-square-foot Miami Auto Museum at The Dezer Collection that includes American classics, military and electric cars, bicycles and more.
In all, there are eight galleries encompassing two large buildings with a collection worth between $25 million to $30 million.
Real estate developer Michael Dezer, 72, started his massive collection as a teenager and has one of the largest Vespas scooter collections in the world.
I came here to get to know the original Knight Rider cars just a little bit more than I already do, said AJ Palmgren, a self-proclaimed Knight Rider historian who traveled from De Moines, Iowa, to Florida for a family vacation. He made sure to stop at the museum on this trip because the television series about the talking, crime-fighting car has been his passion since the day it first aired Sept. 26, 1982.
The museum houses the largest collection of micro cars on display, including a Velorex made in Czechoslovakia and the Voisin which is loosely related on predecessors who won at the prestigious Pebble Beach races during the 1950s.
The museum also houses the largest collection of everything James Bond, including the Aston Martin sports car he drove in 1964's Goldfinger and a massive glass enclosure filled with rows of books, toy cars and figurines.
There were no James Bond vehicles that really survived the first film, so you have to get to the second one, Kornblatt said. And that's From Russia with Love. The boat featured in the 1963 film with Sean Connery is the oldest surviving James Bond movie vehicle.

Dzine at Bass Museum of Art Miami
| From site-specific wall installations to his pimped-out Cadillac Fleetwood to shimmering Swarovski Crystals, Dzines energetic manifestation of colors, patterns, textures, and sounds fuse into a modern phenomenon that reveals a vibrant mixture of street-art, op-art, and Chicano Lowrider culture. A former graffiti artist, Dzine has been able to bolster the semantics of this genre by stretching the boundaries further and bringing never seen before products to the table. His use of precious stones, neon-lights, and motorized machinery has opened up a unique vernacular to contemporary art. At the Bass Museum of Art, Dzine will produce a site-specific project comprising wallpaper, objects and sound socially energizing the café and other areas of the museum.
