Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italian Torre Pendente di Pisa, is a medieval structure in Pisa, Italy, that is famous for the settling of its foundations, which caused it to lean 5.5 degrees (about 15 feet) from the perpendicular in the late 20th century. Extensive work was subsequently done to straighten the tower, and its lean was ultimately reduced to less than 4.0 degrees.

Research and excavations have revealed that Stonehenge was built in phases, beginning perhaps as early as 3100 BC, and reaching a final form around 1800 BC. Its design seems to correspond to the observation of many astronomical events such as solstices, eclipses, moon cycles, and more. Some theories of alignments are widely accepted. Others are controversial because they could have developed by chance.

The Terracotta Army was discovered on 29 March 1974 when farmer Yang Zhifa uncovered fragments of pottery when digging a well. This pottery led to the discovery of the first warrior of the famous Terracotta Army. Since the discovery of the Terracotta Army, more than 2,000 warriors and horses have been excavated from three different burial pits with an estimated 6,000 still buried underground. It is perhaps the enormous scale of the discovery that has added to the mystery and captivated the world, leading people to start describing the warriors as the 8th wonder of the world.

Over 500 years ago, when Incan workers built Machu Picchu, they devised an ingenious building technique to prevent building collapse during Peru’s frequent earthquakes. It worked a little like an ancient form of Legos: Every stone fit together perfectly without any mortar. The Incan design could move slightly in an earthquake and then resettle without falling down; the tight connections between each stone made buildings less likely to vibrate and eliminated stress points.

Designed for the 1889 International Exposition in Paris, the Eiffel Tower was originally intended to be dismantled after 20 years. Eiffel’s concept of a 984-foot tower built almost entirely of open-lattice wrought iron aroused amazement, skepticism, and no little opposition on aesthetic grounds. When completed, the tower served as the entrance gateway to the exposition. But with the advent of radio, the tower served as a massive antenna and was allowed to survive past its expiration date.
