Which of these do you think is the strangest? 😱
North Sentinel definitely wins that round!
The island where they have never been contacted by outside world then show them in the water talking to outsiders hmmm
The "Red Beach" in China ... isn't REALLY a beach, in the sense of a strip of land along coasts, where oceans and the such. It's more of a bank along a river, or swamp, I this case marshlands. Technically yes ... but not as unusual as catfished hype.
Are you sure the Tunnel of Love is still there in Ukraine ... whose military vehicles are they, Ukrainian or Russian
Add the colorful river in Colombia, it's super nice... great video!
Naypyidaw: "It is roughly 4 times the size of London" ....less than a minute later.... "As mentioned earlier, it is roughly the same size of London" ...which is it?
It's actually the first sentence, "It's almost 4 times larger than London/New York!"
@@mk_57 i know, but i was merely just pointing out that he needs to be less confusing
Plus he said there's no people but Wikipedia says there's over 900,000
@@carrzabout1 probably an old statistic
@@carrzabout1 maybe he meant for comparison in area, tbh just imagine London with 900k people, its literally abandoned in a sense. But yes i agree that he should actually use some stats instead of saying smth that confuse people.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were several locations in this video that were unknown to me. I would love to see a Part 2!
Magnetic Hill isn't an isolated thing. There's one in Florida called Spook Hill. Legend has it, a Seminole warrior battled a massive alligator and died. His ghost stays in the area to push anyone near the hill away. I went back as an adult with a level. It's really just an optical illusion with the nearby geography. You will appear to be moving uphill, but the bubble in the level is at a very slight downward slope.
There's one in Scotland called The Electric Brae. It's almost like the guy didn't do any research at all.
Exactly. I've been on two, one in New Brunswick, Canada and one on Cheju Island, South Korea.
Florida man battles alligator in drunken stupor, thinks things roll uphill.
@@rexmundi3108 when I was in Korea, I never got to go to Cheju. I heard it was gorgeous, a destination which I’d be so glad I visited.
Gravity Hill near Shullsburg, Wisconsin is another such place with this phenomenon.
To anyone who's curious:
Almería is a province within the sub-region of Andalusia. It's home to probably the only desert in Europe, tha Tabernas Desert.
The North Sentinelise are very aware of the outside world, considering that many neighboring tribes were completely wiped out. That is the reason why they are so protective of their island.
When they say no trespassing, they really mean it!
By aware he isn't talking about knowing it exists or their neighbors who disappeared. It was quite obvious the channel meant technology and what's going on around the modern world. They don't have a clue about satellites, phones, tv, cars etc.
They meant for technology or like outsider development... Not aware dosent mean they don't know there's land other then that island Ofc they know that's the reason they are trying to protect themselves.
@@MrMackievelli exactly 😂
But the tragic thing is that if they NEVER marry and/or mate with anyone else from the outside world, they will inevitably doom themselves to dying out due to their descendants all being stunted and inbred due to incestuous unions. ONE Charles II of Spain was one too many just for his kingdom so if the entire tribe's offspring were like that, that would be a catastrophe. I wonder if they might have raided nearby territories for potential co-parents even in the recent past.
There are gravity hills in the US as well, and they're just optical illusions. Usually in the US they're caused by trees growing in at an angle, and making the road look like it slopes the opposite way. Of course, you can easily test this using a level. Also, if there really is a massive magnetic field there, it shouldn't affect a beach ball or something like that, so you could set that on the ground and see if it rolls.
yeah. but if the military has confirmed the magnetic properties of the area, should we build pyramids and stonehenge like stuff and perpetual-motion machine also there.... the people there want money i think and world wants anti gravity.
As far as I know Naypyidaw isn't this empty because people don't want to move in - but simply because it's so new. The place is 20 years old this year if we consider its birth from the commencement of the construction, and 10 years old if we consider the completion of the construction as the birth year. And it was deliberately built huge to be able to accommodate a huge number of unhabitants - of course now it still looks empty. Check back in 20 years ;)
We are used to organically growing cities: places that starts out small and then grow with the population - so they never feel or look "empty". This is a different concept.
'Unhabitants' is a nice typo ...
@@NissanLucino1996 Haha :)
Yeah 700k people in only 20 years isn't that bad
Cool fact about the pink lake in Western Australia.. There's actually also one in Melbourne that emerges during droughts or heatwaves. It's an estuary cut off from the nearby bay, just next to the Westgate Bridge, nearby to the CBD. If you Instagram Melbourne Pink Lake, there was lots of photos taken during summer 2019 (or was it 2018?) when it was cranking for a few weeks. Smaller & rarer than Western Australia's Pink Lake, it was nevertheless very vibrant, & looked stranger in a way because it had a freeway bridge behind it on one side, & a backdrop of the large Melbourne skyline on the other.
Yep, I was thinking of that lake too! Good ol' Westgate Park.
I've never been there myself, but there's a really nice walk there that would be great to stroll along, especially when the lake is red!
There are actually a few lakes there, but two main ones.
There's the freshwater lake, which is home to the main walking tracks, and birds.
And there's the famous(?) salt water lake next to it, which turns red and is an impressive sight, even from the Westgate Bridge!
The smaller lakes around the main salt water lake also turn red. I'm guessing the algae prefer the salt water, which is what makes most lakes turn red, if they are able to.
Magnetic Hill: Someone should really just bring a level and a tennis ball there.
2:29 The narrator says that since hostile receptions, "No further contact has been attempted" with North Sentinel Island residents. The picture shows outsiders and island residents happily exchanging goods.
As the video said, there have been many attempts to contact the Sentinelese, but what the video doesn’t say is that not all of the attempts have been met with hostility. It is believed they are sometimes hostile because 6 Sentinelese were kidnapped in 1880 by Maurice Portman. They later died on Port Blair
That's an exceptional collection of fantastic spots. Thank you very much for making and sharing
0:27 I live there :) but there is not as much pollution as it seems, it is very difficult to find a piece of greenhouse plastic in the sea
I was born there haha
Great vid! Some amazing places. One point: leave a gap in between introducing the next place! It all rolls into one otherwise. 👍Keep them coming
Thanks for the tip!
I expected to already know all locations since I'm into these kind of freaky places, turns out I only knew about 2 of them. Great Video!
Which ones
Well, I wouldn't say I am into freaky things, I only didn't know about Chocolate Hills.🤷♂️
rookie.
I'm not into freaky places but I have heard of most of the ones featured.
Educational, interesting and well put together. Like the commentary style as well . Keeps you interested & keen for more. Thank you
As every Australian knows Coober Pedy is pronounced koo·buh pee·dee
Great video. I lived close to the spotted lake in Osoyoos in the Okanagan. It can really smell foul with the sulphur odour.
They absolutely know about the outside world, which is why they're so hostile.
Also up until the late 1800s there was a ton of indigenous people on the islands all around there. They were all completely wiped out by a disease and kidnappings. They know exactly what is in for them if they start letting people on the island.
They also know what airplanes and ships are.
No they’re not that smart lol. How would they possibly know what an airplane is? And how would they know what happened to the other tribes on other islands?
@@yeetingat100subs9 they might not know exactly what an airplane is by definition but they have seen them along with ships/boats.
@@yeetingat100subs9 Look in the mirror you'll see what not smart looks like. You see black tribesmen, and the first thing you think is, they're not that smart. The fuck is wrong with you besides being white,and a fucing racist. You have to be a modern man, to be a smart man?
8:56 this region is wrongly showed. Magnetic hills are in up ladakh not in Gujarat. 😀 Hope you correct it
There are three such places in India not only in ladakh. The first pic shown in the video is actually from Ladakh though but the creator is correct about the location in gujarat.
For the Pink Lake, instead of driving you can fly direct from Perth to Gibson Esperance Airport on Rex Airlines.
From Esperance to the Pink Lake it is only 16 miles, a 21 minute drive.
Tickets from Perth to Esperance cost about £129 (GBP) each way and the flight takes approximately 1.5hrs.
The magnetic hill isn’t unique. There are a lot of places such as this. The electric bras in south Ayrshire, Scotland has this. It’s a visual illusion. Your car rolls up the hill.
Excellent video. Thank you
Your content, differentiation is just like Real Rife lore. Without looking at name one would probably think that he/she is watching real life lore. You will also become very successful one day like him. Keep it up buddy. Love from Prayagraj India🇮🇳🤗
No, what? This is nothing like the RLL format.
@@MightyWinz the type of topics, the interest that he made inside viewers, the deep explaination
Real Life Lore isn't British
Hats off to Geography Bible. This a truly informative video. D🌞
10:03 It's Oh-soy-oos in the Oh-kah-nah-gan valley
Local to the area. This pronunciation correction is accurate.
Same, I laughed out loud when I heard his pronunciation in the video
I laughed at the pronunciation too. Live about half an hour away.
Scotland also has a road where things seem to roll uphill, the Electric Brae. Like the one in India, it's an optical illusion created by the terrain.
I mentioned that in my comment so if it looks like I copied you it was just coincidence .
@@robertclark2253 Lol, no worries!
Magnetic hill is an optical illusion .The road is actually downhill , the horizon gives it the effect of going uphill . You can actually use a carpenters level to prove it .
Yup, that should be an easy one.
You don't think that the spirit level itself is affected by the phenomenon?
Great video. One tip, though: please note there's a world of difference between 'square kilometres' and 'kilometres squared' (note the 'd'). An area that's 5km wide and 10km long is 50 square km, but "50km squared" would mean 2500 square km! 😉
@Ben Chuft Indeed. But if he's anything like me, he'll want to make informative videos that inform correctly. 🤷♂
@Ben Chuft I've seen TEACHERS who refer to "miles squared" when they actually mean "square miles." I cringe every time I see it.
I get equally perturbed when people say things like "ten times smaller." When you multiply any positive number by an integer, it gets BIGGER, not smaller. What's worse... this language is now being used by sources I would otherwise respect.
Wouldn't it be 2500km, just that, not squared?
@@Pain9682 'km' on its own refers to distance, not area.
I was very surprised to see my small town of
Intriguing. I had heard of none of these sites. Thank you for enlightening us.
7:13 there's a huge park in Iceland called Landmannalaugar that basically has so many mountains with the same characteristics, just so much better
« So much better » why would you even denigrate one of the two and not just appreciate both ? Also from the pictures on internet of this park in Iceland, they seem very different.
Montaña de 7 colores in Peru is at 5000m of altitude, in a massive moutain range with peaks at + 6000m, giving a fire vs snow landscape that is just incredible. Just enjoy both instead of ranking !
It's great to be excited about your local stuff. Why denigrate someone's passion just to equalize everything? Competition usually makes things better.
Part 2 please 😁
The most fascinating thing about the sentinal island is that it's only 45 kms from the island's capital Port Blair. These people have not only managed to remain segregated from modern civilization but also survived possible british expeditions and the Japanese occupation of the islands during world war 2.
Craziest part is that the Indian government sent helicopters to check the Sentinelese after the 2004 tsunami. Of course, the Sentinelese ended up shooting arrows at them, so it was confirmed they had very much survived the disaster 😅
There is a region in the Mexican state of Chihuahua that, similarly to the “Magnetic Hill” mentioned in this video, seems to defy gravity. I remember my uncle taking us there to wow us. We were wowed.
There is one in New Brunswick, Canada too, in the Moncton area.
Name of the place in Chihuahua?
@@omar-eduardobarriga1856 I’ll ask my uncle. He lives in that state. He probably knows. I’ll get back with you.
I thought it was in Chihuahua but the Mexican state is actually Durango.
Spook hill in.Polk county has the same attn..
Take a look at Caño Cristales in Colombia as well. Beautiful multicolored River.
Yes, part 2 please...
I've been to Bohol! It's absolutely beautiful. The hills are really big too, it's surprising
Coober Pee-dy...peeeeeeedeeee. awesome video!
Props to the Indian government for letting the Sentinelese be.
Love it!!
9:05
I visited a place the exact same in Scotland where cars roll up hill when the engine is off.
It's called The Electric Brae.
Google it. 😁
Cool facts
Are you from the Boro, interesting video by the way
Maganetic Hill is in Ladak And u showed it in state of gujarat in the maps
Yes to part two
7:12 .....only discovered in 2015, when the snow melted! Ouch!
Add the "magnetic hill" in New Brunswick, Canada.
Cool!!
My backyard is an awesome place, too. It was a horrible jungle when i moved into this property, but now, after a lot of work is wonderful.
The island of Socotra is / was famous as the home of Socotrine Aloes, a bitter variety of Aloe Vera that was particularly prized in medicine before the switch over to pharmaceutical drugs in the late 19th century. Traditional Greek Medicine was based on the Four Humors or vital fluids of the body, and these bitter Socotrine Aloes had the ability to dissolve and fluidify coagulations of each of the four humors - blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile.
1 min in I always wandered what that was. Southern Spain right? Looks super weird flying over
Wow ♥️ tunnel of love
As an Aussie i always see mentioned the pink lake in Western Australia, but there are more not just that one. South Australia has some, but they are never mentioned.
in Somerset West Cape Town is Spook Hill which has the same optical illusion
Oh- soy- use in the Oak - an - awg- en Valley in BC :)
Part 2 please
Oof! Who's watching in March 2022 and was hit hard when he brought up Tunnel of Love in Ukraine? 😭🇺🇦
Number one should have been my place at thanksgiving, strange is an understatement.
Point of interest. The shot at 1.27 sec is Kuta beach, Bali, Indonesia. Looking back to the airport in the onshore wet season. It's not the Mediterranean.
The Dragon trees are found on the Canary Islands and South Morocco as well.
Regarding the spotted lake near Osoyoos, it's the result of mining operations. Anway, the narrator just butchered the pronunciation of Osoyoos and Okanagan.
A Part 2 would be lovely, yes.
Thanx
There is also a pink lake on the north shore of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, near the town of Rio Lagartos.
Magnetic hills are found at many other places as well and it does defies gravity. For e.g in saudia arab wadi e jinn and also another place in Ladakh india
3:45 Zhongli was there
Adding to a previous comment I made there's the curious case of the Suicide Bridge of Overtoun in Dumbartonshire , Scotland the bridge was given this strange name in the 1950's but it wasn't about human victims most of the suicides were committed by dogs and nobody has a comprehensive answer as to why . The exception was a man who threw his infant son into the stream below the bridge claiming the baby was the devils work he also dived into the stream but survived before trying to cut his wrists and being committed to an assylum for the criminally insane .
6:53 how did you get these numbers in google maps? Seems like youre blowing the size out of proportion because it's only 700km give or take.
Bryce Canyon should be included in the next one.
Plenty of Socotran Dragon Trees in the Seres Scabland in Hyrule Ridge
Magnetic hill we have that too in Portugal in Braga city
Probably already said but Coober Pedy is pronounced Coober Pedy.. Cheers mate cool video.!
There’s multiple pink lakes in Aus and one of them is only a 6 hour drive North of Perth in a place called Port Gregory
Anti gravity hill is easy to figure out, take a spirit level there, lay it on the slope and see what happens to the bubble.
Valley of a Thousand Hills in South Africa is worth a look
Magnetic hill is in a very different part of the country. The image and the voice-over are correct, its just that your map reference is approximately 1,200 KMs off.
show us part 2 please
Perhaps to verify the magnet hill, put something not metal there. If it moves in the same direction as cars, there is no magnet, just an illusion. If it moves in the other direction, there is something pulling vehicles uphill.
There is a magnetic hill in Moncton, Canada
❤❤❤
You kind of forgot to mention two people I believe more did make contact with the island and were never seen again. Leave with infect them with smallpox and everything else. They're fine leave them alone.
5:04 Snowpiercer
Hi have you seen arround Nampula in Mozambique?
Add Dallol Ethiopia in part 2 ..... like another planet
Usually the first thing i think about when thinking about the beach is water
The sentinelese are not as clueless as people think. They know what helicopters, airplanes, and ships are.
God is amazing... the beauty He creates for us mortals 🙌
6:17 is not on bohol island. I think it is on Cebu island
This is definitely Thoughty 2
"Like nothing u will see anywhere else on the planet" unless u live in the dragonball universe where apparently those pillars r conveniently right outside every city
8:11 Uncle Barry=D ?? *galagalgalagala..*
Some of the pronunciations are just as bizarre! Spotted Lake is between Osoyoos (oh sue yis), and Oliver, in the Okanagan (oh can awe gan) valley. I lived about 3km from Spotted Lake. It seems only the locals can pronounce Osoyoos properly!
The voice over guy would probably mispronounce his own name!
4:54 We found the real life Mooshroom Island biome
Horden Colliery Co,Durham England,its like nowhere on Earth
Socotora doesn’t have the privilege of Dragon Trees, one can see them on Canaries Islands !
obviously spirit levels are in short supply in the region of magnetic mountain
I grew up in B.C. and had never even heard of Spotted Lake. (BTW, the valley is pronounced O-ka-NAW-gan, although across the border in Washington State I believe they do say it like an Irish last name).
Those trees are really weird.
Oak-a-noggin
Socotra looked almost like Morrowind.
Magnetic hill - why has no one placed a bubble level on the ground to prove there isn't a downward slope? Or a downward change in elevation?
Its called coober pedy but you say it coober peady its a pee sound not eh sound
