3, Vale do Javari Reservation, Brazil

Indigenous tribes have inhabited the jungles of the Amazon for many centuries. Aerial photographs prove the existence of those which still remain untouched by the outside world. In the Vale do Javari Reservation there are around 14 tribes that have no knowledge or experience of the outside world and whose lifestyle revolves around agriculture. Researchers have discovered an additional eight villages there, leading them to estimate that the combined population of the indigenous peoples may be as high as 2,000. For their safety and the preservation of their way of life, authorities banned people from entering an area of the Amazon rainforest equal to around 77,000 square kilometers.

2, Svalbard Global Seed Vault, Norway

Within a mountainside on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, at a depth of 120 meters, a tunnel has been built within which a constant temperature of −18°С is maintained. The humidity is kept to a minimum, and the tunnel’s microclimate is regulated by an automated system. It is here that humanity’s last hope of reviving the natural world is safeguarded in case of an unforeseen cataclysmic event. Containers of seeds preserve the agricultural inheritance of all the world’s countries, and it is for this reason that not a single person can be allowed to enter for fear of damaging mankind’s chances of survival.

1, Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center, Virginia

Mount Weather is a secret refuge for the US government. The FEMA Operations Center is hidden underneath the mountain and is capable of running the country in the event of a catastrophe and any resulting emergency situation. Some of the center’s structures are built above ground, and these are administered and guarded by a separate branch of the security and emergency services. Inside, the center is governed by its own laws, and outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter.

There are many intriguing corners of the world that the vast majority of us will never have the opportunity to visit. And in every case, each one has its own reason for being so inaccessible. Such places inevitably attract intense interest on the part of tourists and adventure seekers, yet they remain almost impossible to reach.

3, Medieval treasure

In 2007, Andreas K. from Austria found a whole treasury in his backyard: there were about 200 jewelry items, such as rings, brooches, buckles, and silver platters.
The man put it all into a box and carried the fortune into his cellar, forgetting about it for two years. He only remembered about it when he decided to move house. When experts assessed the jewelry, they determined it was about 650 years old. Andreas gave it all to the local museum as a gift.

2, A prehistoric armadillo shell

Jose Antonio Nievas from Argentina found a giant "dinosaur egg," as he called it, near his farm.
What it turned out to be was a shell of a glyptodon — a prehistoric armadillo the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. A hole was found in the shell that was probably made by another glyptodon in a fight.

1, A Ferrari

In 1978, two kids were digging in the ground in their backyard in Los Angeles and suddenly stumbled upon a Ferrari Dino 246 GTS. When the police excavated the car, they determined it had been stolen. The theft and the burial that followed were probably part of an insurance scam. The Ferrari was handed over to the insurance company and then sold at auction.
Unfortunately, resting in the ground didn’t do the car any good.

Surprise non of Nigeria road make the list

A bridge in Island County, Washington

Surprise non of Nigeria road make the list

15, Eshima Ohashi bridge, Japan

Although it is just a bridge, it is as dangerous as the roads we mentioned above. The bridge connects Sakaiminato and Matsue. It is about 1.7 km long, and 11.3 meters wide. From the far, the bridge seems impossible to climb. This height allows large ships to pass underneath

14, Caucasus’ road, Russia

This narrow road connects Sochi and the Ritsa lake through the mountains. It is scary and impressive at the same time. It’s worth seeing at least once.

13, Gotthard Pass, SwitGotthard Pa

This is one of the tallest mountain passes in the Alps. A 64-km-long road goes from side to side and surprises passengers with its scenic views.

12, Col de la Bonette, France

This dangerous mountain pass is located on a 2000-meter height in the French Alps, right by the Italian border. This road has steep and unexpected turns.

11, Kolima’, Russia

The official title of the road that connects Yakutsk and Magadan is ’Kolima’; however, people always call it ’the death road’. The first 90 km were built by 1932 by prisoners. The construction was complete by 1953.

10, Hana, Hawaii

This 112 km road connects Kahului and Hana, on the Hawaiian island Maui. The narrow sinuous road connects 59 bridges, 46 of which only have one lane. The road is often closed due to the landslides.

9,Tianmen Mountain road, China

This road is 10 km long. It has 99 steep turns, and the difference in height between its beginning and its end is about 1,000 meters. Drivers here definitely need nerves of steel.

8, Le Passage du Gois, France

Weirdly enough, this road is only open for a few hours every day. The road is hidden underwater for the rest of the day. Before entering the 4.5 km highway, read the schedule of tides. Otherwise, your car will simply sink.

7, Guoliang Tunnel, China

Guoliang Tunnel was built by the locals. A road cut out of the mountain was the only way of communication between the village and the outside world. Later, the government built a 1200-meter tunnel to help the locals with transportation.

6, Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway

Atlantic Ocean Road connects small, coastal villages. By the way, this road is really meant for tourists, because the sights there are breathtaking.

5, Yungas Road, Bolivia

This highway is one of the most dangerous roads in the world. It takes 200 — 300 lives a year. Steep mountains are on one side, and a cliff on the other (about 600 meters tall). It is scary to think about driving on this road!

4, Khardung La, India

According to officials, this road is 5602 meters tall (practically taller than Mount Elbrus). Guinness World Records and National Geographic recognized Khardung La as the tallest pass road in the world.

3, Dalton Highway, Alaska

Dalton Highway is the most isolated highway in the world. It is 666 km long, and only connects 3 small villages. This road is considered the snowiest highway in the world.

2, Transfăgărășan, Romania

This road is located in the Carpathian Mountains and pierces the Făgăraș massif. It reaches a 2034-meter height and is the tallest road in Romania. Transfăgărășan is known for its gorgeous sights and its danger.

1, Zoji La, India

Ladakh and Kashmir are connected by this 9-km-long road. On top of everything, this road is extremely narrow, although it has to fit in both drivers and livestock.
