1 – Stonehenge (UK)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Located on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England, the world-famous mysterious stone circle dates to prehistoric times. Erected almost 3,000 years ago, its construction involved a feat of engineering that still baffles modern day experts. Just how did stone-age people manage to construct and drag giant stones (each weighing 25 tons) from a quarry many miles away with the crudest of implements?  The sacred site originally had 30 upright stone pillars, but only 17 stones are left standing today and it remains a mystery as to what purpose or significance the stone circle had to the Neolithic population that built it?<\/span><\/p>\n

The entire site is also rooted in ancient druid and pagan history, believed to be a source of great spiritual energy and where to this day they conduct religious ceremonies. To psychics, Stonehenge is where one can attain spiritual enlightenment. <\/span><\/p>\n

2 – Benares (India)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Also known as Varanasi, the holy city of Benares is located beside the Ganges River in Uttar Pradesh, India.  It is a major religious place in India with the religions of Hinduism and Jainism regarding it as the holiest of the seven sacred cities. Hindus consider Benares sacred since Lord Shiva and Pavrati once lived here. Devotees from both India and abroad make a pilgrimage to the city to bathe and perform cremations or meditate. Despite its polluted state, they see it as spiritually pure, capable of washing away all mortal sins. Also, the river enables the granting of  \u2018moksha\u2019 \u2013 the final release from the life, death, and rebirth cycle. The city has made a strong impression on people around the world with American author Mark Twain being bowled over by the city\u2019s dazzling exotic sights. <\/span><\/p>\n
