A box with the blood of poets, 1965-1968.

King's chair keeper
It was the most coveted and honorary position at the court of monarchs. The duties of this courtier included nothing more than wiping the royal buttocks after fulfilling natural needs. Oddly enough, but the keepers had great power at court, and the expression "licking the ass" began to mean: "moving up the career ladder."
Until the 20th century, the position of Groom of the King's Close Stool was highly valued at the British court. He was a courtier, responsible for assisting the monarch in the implementation of natural needs. Given the fact that the body of the king was considered almost sacred, only representatives of noble blood could touch it. It is worth noting that the lords and earls became the Keepers of the royal chair very willingly, despite the fact that they literally had to wipe the king's ass.

Our world is filled with a mass of incredibly amazing phenomena. Odious and curious, attractive and alluring, they are stunned and delighted at the same time. Our today's article contains all the most unusual in the world.
River under the river
In distant Mexico there is a river whose bed is filled with calm water flows, and the banks are covered with plants. In general, the river is like a river ... Except for the fact that it is hidden at a depth of 8 meters under water.
An amazing river was formed due to one of the laws of physics. It contains a combination of hydrogen sulfide and salt water, which is denser than sea water. When settling, it forms an unusual border in the underwater kingdom.
Travelers say that down there, many have the feeling that they are hovering over an amazing kingdom, invented by someone's non-standard fantasy.
Cities at the bottom of the sea
Probably, each of us has heard legends about Atlantis - the most ancient city, hidden in the depths of the sea. The researchers were never able to find his remains, but they discovered other amazing and at the same time ominous underwater settlements:
- Port Royal in Jamaica. 4 centuries ago, it was considered the most sinful city on the planet, but in the summer of 1692 there was a strong earthquake that swept the settlement and two thousand of its inhabitants into the depths of the sea. Today, Port Royal is hidden under 20 meters of ocean water.
- Dwarka in India. His remains were found in 2000, under a 40-meter layer of water, although before that he was considered just a myth. The city is dedicated to Krishna and includes 70 thousand palaces made of various precious metals. Its ruins consist of incredibly clear and regular figures.
- Lion City in China. Rightfully included in the list of the most unusual places in the world. Created in 20-200 AD, it occupied the territory of 62 football grounds. Flooded at a level of 25-40 m in the Lake "1000 Islands" and contains a lot of beautiful sculptures.
- . At the sea borders of Alexandria, an amazing castle of the legendary ancient Egyptian mistress is hidden. It is believed that it was flooded more than one and a half thousand years ago. Next to it, a temple of Isis and 140 mysterious historical objects were discovered.
Crawling boulders in California
Moving (creeping) stones are a geological miracle that is observed in the dry reservoir Racetrack Playa, located in the American Death Valley. The whole area is strewn with footprints leading to stone formations scattered at an impressive distance from their original location.
Scientists are sure that they move without external influence, but the very moment of movement has never been captured. The main mass of boulders tends to the bottom of the lake from a large dolomite elevation. The mass of stones can reach several hundred kilograms.
Gliding occurs every 2-3 years. According to researchers, it is caused by failures of the temperature regime and the movement of water.
Black sun in Denmark
The Danes call the “Black Sun” huge flocks of starlings that create various figures in the air, practically covering the luminary. Outwardly, they look like huge black clouds moving in a chaotic manner.
Most often, such an unusual phenomenon occurs in early spring in the west of the country, but the accumulation of the largest flocks is observed in the southern region of Jutland. The air dance looks especially chic at sunset, after the appearance of birds of prey. They frighten the starlings, and the huge flock begins to worry and change shape.
Fish rain in Honduras
Every year in May - July in the Yoro region, a dark cloud approaches the sky, accompanied by thunder, flashing lightning, powerful squalls of wind and heavy rain. And when the weather calms down, the ground is strewn with a layer of live fish.
I must say that similar phenomena were recorded in other regions, but they were of a one-time nature. And only in Honduras it has been raining fish every year for more than a hundred years. It was first noted here in the middle of the 19th century.
Fish falling from the sky belong to the same species and differ in almost the same size. Oddly enough, but they are not found in nearby water bodies. Some scientists believe that fish "arrive" here from the Atlantic Ocean, located 200 km away, where they are sucked in by a strong tornado. According to other experts, they can be found in one of the local underground rivers.
In the area of Lake Maracaibo (Venezuela), one of the most unusual atmospheric phenomena in the world, called "Catatumbo lightning", is observed. Unlike a standard thunderstorm, it always occurs in the same area one and a half hundred nights a year.
Huge electrical bursts more than 10 km long blaze in an endless stream in the sky. Every year, a thunderstorm cluster produces about a million lightning strikes a year, and in one night you can count up to 20 thousand discharges.
This phenomenon is considered one of the largest ozone producers on the planet. Incredibly, the glow at an altitude of 5 km is practically not accompanied by thunderstorms.
Lightning zigzags are visible not only on stormy days, but also on calm days, for 10 hours in a row. Due to this sequence and constancy, the phenomenon was called the "Lighthouse of Maracaibo", as passing ships were guided by it for many millennia.
Information about Catatumbo lightning has been found more than once in literary works and historical chronicles:
- In 1595, Sir F. Drake's troops attacked Maracaibo. They were going to storm the city with the advent of darkness, but the besieged inhabitants managed to make out the attackers under the light of a powerful lightning;
- In 1957, the phenomenon is mentioned in the long poem "La Dragontea" written by Lope de Vega;
- A traveler from Prussia, A. Humboldt, called lightning "electric explosions";
- A scientist from Italy A. Codazzi wrote about this phenomenon as about "lightning appearing over one of the Zulia rivers."
Crystal Chapel
In 2000, in Mexico, in Mount Naica, an incredible cave was found, called the "Sistine Chapel of Crystals". It is located 300 meters underground and is represented by weaves of huge transparent crystals of selenite - one of the varieties of gypsum.
To assess the scale of the find, it is enough to look at photographs depicting a person near crystalline formations. In total, more than 170 crystals were recorded in the cave. The largest one is 15 meters long, 4 meters in diameter, and weighs 55 tons.
A web of selenite crystals covers the cave walls, forming amazing, intricate jungles. You can admire their beauty only in special costumes, since the air temperature here is about 50 0 C, and the humidity is more than 90%.
Underwater museum in Cancun
There are 5 underwater museums on the planet, but the largest of them is the "National Marine Park" in Mexico. On its territory there are 480 concrete sculptures, made in natural size and installed at a depth of 2 to 10 meters.
The British architect D. Taylor was involved in the creation of this incredible world. The project was named "Silent Evolution". It took 1.5 years, 120 tons of cement, 4,000 fiberglass, 400 kg of silicone to complete it.
The museum contains 3 expositions installed at short intervals from each other:
- Near the island of Mujeres;
- Close to Punta Cancun;
- In the area of Punta Nizus.
To prevent the undercurrent from carrying away human figures, and to make it easier to fix them on the seabed, many of them were molded on special stands. The creators of the museum say that the main goal of the work was to attract the public to the problem of the fragility of the coral reef ecosystem.
By the way, if in traditional museums they try to keep the exhibits intact, then it is welcome here when marine inhabitants contribute to the design of the expositions. Quite a few sculptures have already begun to be covered with corals or turned into houses for representatives of the environment.
Stone forest in China
Shilin Stone Forest is one of the most unusual natural wonders in the world. It is located in the Chinese province of Yunnan on a vast territory of 350 km 2. Some of its sections are under the protection of UNESCO.
In reality, the Stone Forest is a limestone formation formed under the influence of tectonic shifts. According to researchers, 200 million years ago there was a deep sea in this area, which dried up, leaving behind such an unusual anomaly.
The view of the stone forest is really fantastic - huge cliffs about 2 thousand meters high rise above the surrounding relief. From a distance, their outlines resemble the silhouettes of trees, birds, animals, and even humans.
Eye of the Sahara
In the west of the Sahara, in its Mauritanian part, 40 km from the village of Ouadan lies an outlandish geological formation, which consists of several oval rings. Its width is about 50 km. Officially, this strange natural phenomenon is called the "Rishat structure", but it has several other beautiful names - "Eye of the Sahara", "Eye of the Earth", "Eye of the Desert".
There are different opinions about the origin of the phenomenon. For a long time it was believed that the Eye is a crater from the fall of an ancient meteorite, but modern research has not confirmed this.
Today, the most plausible version is the geological formation of the phenomenon. For many centuries, the rocks located in the form of a dome were eroded and gradually “shrinked”, forming a ring-shaped system.
However, no one can confirm this hypothesis 100%. And therefore, just like many centuries ago, the huge diameter and unusual shape of the "Eye of the Desert" turn it into one of the most unusual and mysterious phenomena in the world.

A white crow, a camel girl, an aquarium-toilet bowl, a cake in the form of a laptop, a lady with a frigate haircut, and that's not all. Tetris tie, ghost towns, x-rays, false teeth abduction and many more ideas for unusual gifts, events and travel - that's what a cabinet of curiosities.
Curious and odious, shocking and attractive things, phenomena and people are collected from the crazy world one by one and sorted into more than 450 articles, each of which neatly flaunts on its own page. Most often, they find us when they are looking for something about, or .... Fear of death and love still, like two flocks of hounds, haunt every person.
Heavy and high hairstyles in the form of ships were overthrown along with the monarchy in France by the incorruptible Robespierre and the tongued Danton. It turned out that hairstyles and outfits are nothing compared to the highest way of human self-expression, revolutionary activity. Who is the greatest revolutionary in our memorable history? That's right, this is a nice guy Che. In this treasure-trove article, our eyes are opened to the star and the death of the eternally young idol of youth, who himself did not live to be 40. We will learn about how Guevara fell away from the army in his youth, and then became a major and signed "Stalin II". Or how the future Cuban minister Ernesto, on the orders of the police who detained him, coached and led the rural football team to victory in the inter-district cup.
Science, nourishing progress, turns the unusual into the ordinary. Creating a wide range of miracles, she changes the old boredom of life for a new one, one whim for a second, a third and a hundredth. More specifically, a cell phone. Nowadays, to be unique, if not smart, it is enough to buy an outstanding device, for example, a mobile phone with an ultrasonic mosquito repeller. Or on one SIM card, a phone in the form of a matchbox, and on the second - a la a pack of cigarettes. The materialchik will help you choose a fateful gadget.
Another plane of human individuality is what our distant ancestors called "shame", and our children called "bikini zone". Masterpieces of hidden unusualness, intimate hairstyles became popular in the last century, the fashion for shaving and decorating one place flourished in the late 1980s and does not wither to this day. You can read about the most unusual intimate hairstyles, for women and men, in. We warn you to be careful - there are waiting for you ... a clubfoot bear (s) and curly Frank Farian, peeking out of ladies' panties.
If the career does not go beyond the universal ideas of success, then you will most likely have to wear a neckerchief, called a tie or “cravat” (the second name, oddly enough, is born from the word “Croat”). In order to stand out from the office crowd, you need an original tie. If the main and main thing in your work is a lunch break, then feel free to knit a “noose” around your neck in the form of a hot dog with mustard. You need to hypnotize the client - there is a tie with a crossword puzzle, nowhere to put a small pink player - get an accessory with a special pocket. A complete overview of men's crazy-style neck jewelry is presented on the page.
Or maybe you hate the office and do not like the soul in nature? Yes, many computer and Internet users are indifferent to nature. They will never go to hot Asia to see how an elephant swims, stretching its spine and escaping from the heat. But happy to see pictures. And about the elephant, and about the deer, whose horns in the dark mingled with the shadows of bushes and trees. About two bears, one of which is up to its neck in water, the other is only ankle-deep. About how the arctic fox looks when it comes, and something else about something alive and beautiful is told and shown in the article.
To the unusual beauties of living nature and sleeping stones one cannot but add (to complete the bouquet of beauties) the aesthetic power of death. Not his own, but the one that happens in the small world of insects. If you look at the “predator-prey” relationship among insects through a macro lens, you will see fascinating pictures of the meeting of a black fly with a light praying mantis, for example. Or a dragonfly and a bug it caught. The article is called -. If these wonderful insects were at least a third of the size of a person, we would not have survived on planet Earth.
A variety of skills, tricks and mechanisms help the living to avoid a beautiful death. As in humans, in the fauna, defense mechanisms are determined hormonally - if adrenaline enters the nerve, it leads to anger, if noradrenaline - to fear. Therefore, at the moment of danger, some opossums plunge into a reversible coma, the larva of the Colorado potato beetle is covered with poisonous hemolymph, and the bombardier beetle pours boiling water over the oncoming one from its own backside. About how different animals protect themselves in different ways, it is written and photographed in the article.
A false sea maiden is a piece goods, a relic, but a place for mermaids is not only on the shelves of museums, but also in private collections. Remember the gun millionaire from the movies who collected the body parts of stars and celebrities? Such eccentrics exist in reality. The demand for outlandish chimeras creates an outlandish supply. In a series of articles, an unusual site introduces Russian-speaking consumers and hobbyists to the achievements of North American taxidermy. The art of making stuffed animals and dummies presents us with a huge number of outstanding gifts and souvenirs. Do you want to use the skull of the Soviet socialist Chikatilo as an ashtray “just like a real one”? There you are! Need the severed hands of those stray cheaters who cheated in poker? In a jar with a warning label? Let's do it! After all, everything terrible is charming for someone. And vice versa…
For those who do not dare to give themselves or a friend / comrade unnatural boobs made of artificial materials on New Year's Eve, but crave fame, we recommend a digest. It tells about who and what eats for the holiday from the Kremlin feeder, why Santa Claus and his deer poop candies, and also how much an inflatable Christmas tree is now, and what happens to the psyche of a person who is presented with the corpse of a hare hit by a car on December 31.
