He was a courtier, responsible for assisting the monarch in the implementation of natural needs.

The most interesting and unusual achievements are collected in one book - the Guinness Book of Records. But even she is not able to contain the most incredible facts in the world that can be heard.

bird girl

Scientists cannot answer the question of why people with completely unusual anomalies are periodically born in the world. Few of these people become famous precisely because of their unforgettable appearance. But the girl, who was born in 1880 in Georgia, became not only famous all over the world, but even acted in films.

Minnie Woolsey (that was the name of the girl) was born with Seckel syndrome. This rare condition suggests dwarfism, developmental delay, and a small head with a bird's beak-like nose. Due to illness, Minnie also remained bald, and it seemed that nothing good awaited the girl ahead. But thanks to one showman who had a so-called "freak circus", Minnie was saved and even became famous.

But the turning point in the life of the bird girl was the shooting in the film "Freaks" in 1932. Dressed in a bird costume, Minnie became the highlight of the film, and the nickname "Koo Koo" stuck to her forever. According to some reports, Minnie participated in the exhibition of anomalous people until the age of 72.

The oldest car park in the world

There are hardly any people among motorists who have positive emotions about the parking lot. But many people would like to see such a parking lot. She is in Naples. The King of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinand of Bourbon, wanted to build a tunnel at a depth of 45 meters. It happened in 1853. The monarch was worried about his safety, since revolutionary sentiments were strong in Naples at that time. But he died a natural death, and the tunnel was abandoned unfinished.

Right under the central part of Naples, many cars and motorcycles of pre-war production are buried. After World War II, the tunnel was sealed for almost 60 years.

Betty Butler - age is not a hindrance to extreme sports

Every person has a secret dream that he carries through his whole life. But many still lack the courage to make it a reality. What can not be said about the 95-year-old resident of the US state of Indiana. It turns out that the woman dreamed of jumping with a parachute all her life, but somehow it didn’t work out. Caring children and grandchildren decided to give Betty a present for her 95th birthday. And the brave pensioner did not refuse and nevertheless fulfilled her desire, despite such an advanced age.

Indonesian traditions

On the island of Sulawesi, since 1905, there is one very unusual tradition. It turns out that in order to show respect to deceased relatives, Indonesians dig them out of their graves every year. There are even original competitions among local residents: whoever has a relative is better dressed becomes the winner. But it doesn’t end there either - a family photo for memory becomes the obligatory end of the ceremony of respect.

Mikaela is an Instagram star

This girl has an unusual appearance, which exactly repeats the facial features of the famous computer game character. This attracted thousands of subscribers to her page, including even such famous personalities as Justin Bieber. Among her subscribers, there are still disputes about such a phenomenal similarity, and it was not possible to find out the reason. But this secret only adds to the popularity of the girl.

Giant from West Java - Arya Permana

The fattest boy on the planet lives in Indonesia. His weight is more than 190 kilograms, and yet he is only 10 years old. He suffers from a severe form of obesity and his daily ration would be enough to feed 10 adults. Due to his size, he is unable to fit his clothes, so he covers his thighs with a large piece of sarong. He is not able to attend school, and it is simply very difficult for him to move around. The boy simply lies in the pool all day. What caused such an anomaly is unknown, because until the age of 2 he developed like an ordinary normal child.

Rama Haruna - girl with the body of a baby

In the Nigerian city of Kana lives a girl suffering from a rare disease. Her body stopped growing at 6 months and her limbs are non-functional. At the same time, Rama's head is completely normal for her age. According to her mother, at six months the girl began to writhe from severe bouts of pain in the abdomen, which was accompanied by a severe fever. There are other children in the family, and all are quite healthy.

Nigerian doctors are at a loss as to what could have caused such a strange anomaly. Some locals even claim that the girl's illness is a consequence of the genie's curse. But this has nothing to do with reality. The only thing in which this Nigerian woman is very lucky is her family. Despite the fact that caring for the seriously ill Rama costs a pretty penny for the family, her parents have not abandoned the girl and are trying their best to earn money for her maintenance.

Shi Bao - dog on two legs

In China's Shanxi province, there is a dog that lost two of its legs after being hit by a train. Surprisingly, despite such a severe injury, the animal survived and learned to move on two front legs. And most recently, Shi Bao became a mother. The railway station workers who adopted the dog claim that she is a wonderful mother who never leaves her babies for long.

Emma Liman - diagnosis is not a sentence

This 21-year-old girl has a whole bunch of serious diseases at once. This is a mild degree of autism, and Down syndrome, and deafness. But this did not prevent her from becoming a full member of society. And the fact that she cannot write and read did not prevent her from becoming a successful business woman. It all started with the fact that her mother sent out a resume of a girl in a company, trying to find at least some work for her.

She was taken to the office of a credit organization to destroy secret documents. It turned out that Emma perfectly tears paper into small pieces, and does it with amazing speed. And today she has her own company and regular customers who are happy to use her services.

The most incredible facts in the world may relate to various areas of our lives, but one logical conclusion can be drawn. You should never despair even in the most difficult situations and look forward to tomorrow with optimism.

On our planet, there are heaven and hell, seamounts, against which the Himalayas seem like a toy. In this land there are cities whose area is larger than Austria or Belgium, and states that do not have an official capital. The strangest, most interesting and amazing facts about the world are included in today's selection.

Chongqing is called the second capital of China, and it is famous for the fact that it occupies an area larger than the whole of Austria or Belgium. The metropolis is home to 30 million people - a number that makes it the absolute champion of the planet.

And this is not the limit, because Chongqing is growing and expanding. You can't call the city beautiful even with a stretch - narrow cramped streets, heaps of ugly buildings, gloomy alleys, dozens of automobile factories and chemical industries. In Chongqing, as many houses, buildings, bridges and other structures are built in a year as in Moscow in 20 years.

Perhaps in a few years the appearance of the largest metropolis will change, because the old quarters are being actively demolished, and modern skyscrapers are growing in their place. But this is unlikely to make Chongqing any more comfortable.

Countries without railways

There are many such states not only in Asia, but also in Europe. In Iceland, the transport infrastructure is well developed - passengers are served by buses, planes, ships, but there are no railways here.

In Qatar, where the population exceeds 800 thousand people, there is also no railway connection. It is absent in Guinea, Bhutan, Nepal, Afghanistan.

This list also includes the European countries Liechtenstein, Malta, Andorra. They, like Iceland, occupy a small area. The lands in the states are expensive, there is a shortage of them, and the terrain is mountainous, so the construction of railway lines is impractical.

There are no trains in the Caribbean, except for Cuba. It is the only island in the region with a railroad.

E, O, I, Yu

These are not vowels of the alphabet, but the names of cities. E is located in France, on the coast of the Bresle River. It is home to about 8 thousand inhabitants. The indigenous people are called Eytsy.

In Norwegian Lofoten, tourists can hear how one local invites another to fish in O. This is not a joke, but an unusual name for a fishing village. It comes from the word "A", which in Old Norse meant "river".

Mentions of the settlement date back to the middle of the 16th century. It attracts tourists not only with its short name, but also with museums of fish and the history of the village that work here.

Ypsilonians - this is how the inhabitants of the French commune I, located 100 km from Paris, call themselves. Its number is less than 100 people, but even in such sparsely populated places of our world there are amazing facts.

Yi, for example, has a sister village with the unpronounceable name of Llanfairpullgwingillgogeryhverndrobulllantysilyogogogoh. One can only guess how customers pronounce it when they order tickets at railway stations.

In the Swedish city of Yu, 8 thousand people live permanently. The medieval town is popular with travelers because most of the buildings in it are wooden. And these are not only residential buildings, but also churches and public institutions.

It seems that residents are satisfied with short names, although the authorities of the countries periodically raise the topic of their possible renaming. They believe that the renaming will make it easier for users to find information of interest on the Internet.

The resort that is usually sent to

In the southwestern part of Mexico is a beautiful resort with a pristine coastline. It stretches for almost 4 km along the Pacific coast. The beach areas are wide, sandy, secluded bays created especially for lovers. Green hills protect them from the wind, the sky is a transparent blue color.

In this resort place, anyone can buy a villa or an apartment in a condominium with a stunning view from the windows. A 2-room apartment costs 30-40 thousand dollars. And this place is called Nahui and looks very picturesque.

Nauru is a country without a capital

This state can be walked around in 2 hours - length 6 km, width - 4 km. Nauru is located on the coral island of the same name in the western part of Oceania and is considered the only country in the world that does not have an official capital. The compact territory is divided into districts.

The first people appeared in Nauru more than 3 millennia ago. When Captain Firn discovered the island in 1798, it was already inhabited by 12 tribes. They had no idea about the state system and way of life, survived by fishing, growing coconuts and knew how to do without the benefits of civilization.

Today, the tiny country barely survives - tours to the island are not popular due to the lack of local color, high humidity and heat of 40-42 degrees. Nauru is located almost on the equator. The state of ecology is deplorable - over the decades that phosphorites were mined here, instead of soil, a "lunar landscape" remained.

The longest mountains are at the bottom

Sometimes, to find the most amazing facts in the world, you have to go down to the ocean floor. In our case, to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, which is divided by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge into two almost equal parts - western and eastern.

The underwater mountain range is the longest world record. Its length is 18,000 km, its width is almost a thousand km, and its height is small for mountains - at peaks it does not exceed 3 km.

During the study of the relief of the mountain range, scientists discovered a curious pattern: the farther from the rift valley, the older the basalt rocks. Their age was determined by archaeologists and geologists - 70 million years.

Mississippi changed direction

In 1811, an earthquake hit New Madrid, and in 1812, another hit the town of Missouri. Seismologists rated the power of the elements at 8 on the Richter scale.

Those earthquakes were the most powerful in North America - as a result, huge sections went underground, and new lakes formed in their place. The Mississippi River changed course in a short time and flowed in the opposite direction. Its waters formed the Kentucky Bend.

There are no rivers in Saudi Arabia

They used to be, but dried up. During the rains, dry riverbeds are filled with water, but this water is stagnant, there is no current in it. The Saudis treat fresh water with care.

In total, there are 17 states in the world in which there is not a single river. In addition to Saudi Arabia, the list includes Oman, Kuwait, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Monaco, the Vatican and others.

There are no rivers in Monaco and the Vatican, because the territory of the states is small, there are no channels from which they could appear.

Sea without shores

The Sargasso Sea is the only one that has no shores. It is located in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean and is a mystery to mankind. The fact is that the water in the Sargasso Sea has unique properties that are not characteristic of oceanic waters.

The weather here is calm all year round, the sea never storms. For this property, the reservoir has gained notoriety as a ship cemetery. In the Middle Ages, sailing ships could not move when it was calm. The sailors also failed to row with their hands - numerous algae interfered. So, in anticipation of a tailwind, entire teams perished.

This highway is considered the longest railway in the world. The Great Siberian Way, as it was called in Tsarist Russia, connects Moscow and St. Petersburg with the largest cities in Siberia and the Far East.

The railway route stretches for almost 9.3 thousand km, crosses 3901 bridges, which is also an absolute record.

UFO exists

The fact of its existence was recognized by Chile, Italy and France. But the first was Japan. It happened on April 17, 1981. The crew of a Japanese cargo ship saw a disk rising from the ocean waters into the sky. It glowed blue.

Taking off, the UFO stirred up such a powerful wave that it completely covered the ship. After that, the luminous plate circled over the ship for about 15 minutes, either moving quickly or hovering in the air.

Then the UFO again went into the water, and the second wave damaged the ship's hull. At the end of the case, the press officer of the coast guard officially stated that the atypical damage was due to a collision with a UFO.

Uganda is the youngest country

Experts predict that 192.5 million people will live in Uganda in 2100.

It is curious that half of the inhabitants are children and teenagers under 15 years old. Uganda is considered the youngest country on the planet.

Hell and Heaven on earth

What Hell looks like, everyone can see. True, for this you need to come to Norway and get to the city of Trondheim. From there to Hell - 24 km.

Norwegian Hell has its own railway station, shops, and a blues music festival every September. The village inherited the unusual name from the Old Norse word "hellir", which is interpreted as "cave", "rock". But locals prefer the meaning of the homonym - "luck".

Earthly Paradise is located in the UK, 80 km from London. 4 thousand people permanently live in it. This compact town is built on a hill. Previously, it was surrounded by sea water, and now, when there is no sea, 3 rivers remain.

Paradise is an ancient city, the first mention of it is in the sources of 1024. It is surprising that its ancient streets, lanes, fortresses, houses, windows, roofs have been preserved almost in their original form. Paradise has several charming cafes and shops where you can enjoy delicious coffee, tea and desserts. A complete feeling that time has turned back - in the 16-17th century.
