More 40 Tough Riddles That Will Prove You’re Smart Videos

Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid of Giza – all incredible historical monuments and impressive engineering feats! But have you ever wondered how much it would cost to build these awe-inspiring landmarks nowadays? For example, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 4,000 years ago. The whole thing was made with more than 2 million limestone blocks, each weighing about 2.5 tons. And it took tens of thousands of workers up to 30 years to complete the construction! If you decided to build such a colossal monument nowadays, the total price tag would be a jaw-dropping $1.2 billion! But it isn’t even the most expensive! Other videos you might like:

The Taj Mahal 7:22
The Colosseum 8:09
The Great Pyramid of Giza 9:03
The Great Wall of China 10:00 #landmarks #wondersoftheworld #brightside SUMMARY:
– Let’s say you just want to make yourself a Big Ben Bell. You’ll need to get hold of $63,000 for copper, 67,000 for tin, 90,000 for the workers, and 3,000 for cranes and the whole installation process. In total, it’s $223,000. – To build Statue of Liberty nowadays, you’d need $780,000 for the materials (copper, steel, and concrete) and half a million for the construction work. Meaning the total cost of your Statue of Liberty project would be almost $1.3 million. – Stonehenge consists of two types of stones. So, that’ll be $1 million for the sarsen stones (the smaller ones), 100,000 for bluestones (those are the big ones), another 100,000 for trenching, and 2.3 million for the labor and cranes. – If you decided to build your own Tower of Pisa, you’d need to spend almost $3 million on the white marble it’s made from. The cranes and labor would add 1.2 million to that. – To build an Eiffel Tower in your backyard, you’d need the permission of your neighbors (good luck with that!) plus $1.2-million-worth of materials like iron, rivets, paint, and light bulbs. – The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. If you wanted to create the same oasis for yourself, you’d have to spend 21.5 million on the materials and landscape designers. The workers will take their 10 million, and you can say goodbye to a total of $31.5 million.
– The Parthenon. These days, re-constructing the famous landmark would demand over $35 million!
– Machu Picchu. You would spend 57 million on the materials (mainly granite) and 13 million on the labor and cranes. A total of $70 million – and voila! You have a cool mountainous city!
– The Taj Mahal. To build one today, get ready to pay 3 million for the bricks, 23.5 million for the marble, 15 million for the garden, and 2.5 million for the dome! – Built from stone and concrete, Rome’s Colosseum is the world's largest amphitheater. You’ll need $200 million…just for the limestone alone! The elliptical structure would be 215 million. – The construction of the original wall took over 2,000 years to complete! It would cost you around 21 billion to get all the necessary materials. You’ll need the same amount to talk the builders into getting down to work.

More How Much It Would Cost to Build Famous Landmarks Today Videos

What do some French restaurants, the open sea, a small town in West Virginia and your favorite rock band concert have in common? All these are just some of the places where your cellphone won’t work for different reasons. Really! Unless you're traveling on a huge cruise ship that has its own satellite-based technology to let you stay on the grid, the open sea is mostly one massive coverage gap. Or you arrive at your favorite band’s concert you’ve been waiting for years. You take the best shot ever and … you can’t share it online.

At a café located three hours northwest from Marseille, France, phones are officially banned. – Too many phones trying to send and receive signal from nearby cell towers simply overload the network.
– Sometimes you can find yourself on the wrong side of the hill for phone reception. Even if there is a cell tower not far from your home it won't help you much if the signal is blocked by a hill or a mountain. – Have you ever noticed how bars drop during a thunderstorm? That happens because radio waves travel through the atmosphere, and when raindrops, dust particles, and ionized particles get in their way they mess up the signal.
– When you're traveling at high speed, you change your location way too fast for radio signals to move between your cell phone and the right cell tower. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More If You Crack Two of These Riddles, You’re 70% Smarter Than Others Videos

A weird thing happened to me last night. I was watching some movie where the main character was laughing a lot, and I caught myself thinking: what if you laughed, like, for a full day, non-stop? The thought of it was so funny for some reason that I actually started laughing, and… couldn’t stop myself. So there it began. At first, it was kinda fun. You know it — when you laugh, you basically ARE having fun, endorphins filling your bloodstream and all that. But after about 5 minutes I started realizing I wasn’t going to stop, after all… Other videos you might like:

How I spent the night 1:22 Why I didn't go to work 4:13
Dangerous guys 6:46
… and wid animals 7:16 #funstory #laughing #brightside SUMMARY:
– That’s where I began really worrying if everything was alright with me. It was 10.45 pm, I was going to go to bed in another 15 minutes, but my educated guess (through all the shaking from laughter, right) was that I wasn’t going to sleep tonight.
– More time passed, and I started feeling cramps in my belly. You know that feeling when your stomach muscles ache after you’ve laughed for a while? – I cleaned my apartment, laughing hard. I washed all the dishes left over from dinner, still laughing like mad. – I didn’t want to sleep, by the way, because all that laughing somehow boosted my system with good hormones.
– I went to the bathroom and faced another problem: I had to brush my teeth, I usually do it before breakfast. – My sister got into some kind of trouble with her car stuck in the middle of nowhere and nobody would help her. I grabbed this opportunity to write to my boss at once that I was having an emergency, and rushed off outside to help her.
– She stood at the curb, waving at me, and while I pulled over, I was thinking fast how would I explain my attitude. – I think She got offended by my attitude, but I promised myself to explain everything to her later, and got down to repairs.
– I got back in my car and decided I’d skip the day at work completely — it was already past lunch anyway, so I went to some roadside diner where nobody knew me and very few people were inside. – But on the way to my car, a big man went out of the diner with a rolling pin in his hand. He wasn’t smiling. Bad sign. He asked me to share the joke so he and his brothers could laugh with me. – I don’t think they understood what I was blabbering about, and they continued walking slowly and menacingly to me, but then I finally bumped into something hard. – But it was also warm and… breathing? Definitely not my car, I thought and turned around. It was a unicorn!
– It turned out I fell asleep while watching the movie and didn’t even notice it. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More A Quick Quiz to Check If You’re As Smart As a Primary Pupil Videos

When the pilot greets you on board, they’ll talk about the weather and flight duration after introducing themselves and the crew. But have you ever been on a flight where the Captain introduced the plane itself? I don’t mean “Boeing 737,” but something like “Miss Moneypenny” – really! You can’t make this stuff up! Planes are a relatively recent invention. Before them, there was another popular means of mass transportation – ships. Well, it might come as no surprise that aviation inherited a lot of things from seafaring. Each major ship in history had its name. So if you’re wondering where the practice comes from, the aviation industry took this old maritime tradition and flew with it! Other videos you might like:

Eccentric names 7:53
BRA airways 8:51 #planes #aviation #brightside SUMMARY:
– The first major airline to do it was Pan American Airways, once the largest international air carrier in the United States.
– They continued naming their aircraft, many of them with maritime monikers, until Delta bought the historic airline in 1991. – Around that same time in the1920s, similar things were happening across the pond.
– Today, a lot of major airlines like Virgin America, Virgin Atlantic, Qantas, Icelandair, and JetBlue spend a good amount of time and money coming up with the perfect name for their aircraft before sending it off. – In Australia, for example, Qantas aircraft proudly bear the name of local cities, Aboriginal art, and the continent’s first pilots. – Virgin Australia likes naming their planes after the country-continent’s endless beaches – there are so many of them that they can keep buying planes and never run out of names!
– The national airline of Israel called El Al names its aircraft after local cities. – In Hawaiian culture, giving a name to a person or even an object is a revered practice. They say it can make or break a person’s (or object’s) prosperity and spirit.
– Head to India, and you just might fly on a plane called Red Chili, Coriander, Pepper, or Turmeric! – Russian national air carrier Aeroflot looks to the country’s great writers, scientists, and composers for inspo. – Virgin Atlantic airlines give their planes mostly female names, such as Pretty Woman, Queen of the Skies, Ladybird, and Indian Princess. – And when airlines need some help from the public, they hold competitions among their social media followers to invent their own perfect plane name.
– Singaporean airline Scoot is using eccentric plane names as a way to show how cool and fresh they are. – How about BRA airways? It was a Brazilian airline, but the name doesn’t come from women’s undergarments. It stood for Brasil Rodo Aéreo.

More Some Airlines Let Passengers Choose a Plane Name Videos

What occurrence would you call rare? A one in a million chance? A once in a lifetime moment? Nah, that’s child’s play! What about something that happened only once or twice in history? Have you ever heard, for example, that the Mississippi River has been spotted running backward three times? Or that Niagara Falls was gone once? Or that in 1859, auroras of all shapes, sizes, and colors filled the sky in half of the world, going as far south as Jamaica, Hawaii, and Cuba? Those are challenges worthy of a true wonder seeker!

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– In 1812, the Mississippi River stood still and then went backward because of a so-called ‘fluvial tsunami’, which originated from an earthquake nearby. – On February 22nd, 2007, fishermen on the San Aspiring ship became the first and only to capture a thousand pound squid alive. – Funny thing is that this colossal squid appeared to be a small one, even at 15 feet total length. – Voyager 2 discovered 11 moons around Uranus that were never seen before. Three years later, in 1989, it also found rings and 6 new moons around Neptune.
– It took only 4 days in 2016 for the Slims River to almost completely dry out because of this event, which is certainly one of the rarest occurrences ever.
– On August 15, 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman was going through his normal routine at the Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University. – It has no natural explanation, nor can it be explained as a part of human interaction or a malfunction of a radio telescope.
– On June 30th, 1908, in Russia’s Central Siberia, an object went through the atmosphere of the planet and then exploded right over the tops of the trees. – The echo was heard over 500mi away from the explosion itself, which wiped out more than 800mi2 of the forest. – Other nearby waterfalls go frozen or dry regularly, but finding one day that Niagara Falls itself was gone, was probably the scariest event in someone’s life. – It happened in 1848, when a particularly powerful ice-cold wind led to a build-up of snow and ice up the river from Niagara Falls. – Auroras, also called northern lights, are a miracle specific to only the Northern regions of the world, except on the 1st day of September 1859.
– That day, auroras of all shapes, sizes, and colors filled the sky in half of the world, going as far south as Jamaica, Hawaii, and Cuba. – Xenon-124, the sturdiest tiny brick in the fabric of reality. It takes more time for an atom of xenon-124 to fall apart than has passed since the Big Bang – a trillion times more time, to be fair.
