A group of liquidators coming down from a mission on the roof.

When the Complex Expedition team could find no traces of fuel in the reactor vessel, they turned their attention to the intensely radioactive room below. Ferocious amounts of radiation were being detected and it was pertinent to find out what was causing it. No robot could fit through the narrow access to the room, so they decided to strap a camera to a toy tank purchased for 15 rubles in Moscow. The image quality was poor but the footage suggested the presence of a very large mass. ———————————————————————— Horizon: Inside Chernobyl’s Sarcophagus ———————————————————————— I don’t know why but the little light turning on cracks me up. ———————————————————————— #chernobyl #chernobyldisaster #chernobylhbo #hbo #chernobylnuclearpowerplant #nuclearpowerplant #nuclearpower #nuclearmeltdown #corium #elephantsfoot #rbmk #rbmk1000 #history #historyinpictures #pripyat #ukraine #ussr #sovietunion

Cuando estuve en Escocia, de ruta por las Highlands, justo al norte de Inverness, sabia que la atracción principal seria el lago Ness pero también había una que me hacia especial ilusión y era ir a un faro en donde al atardecer con suerte podría ver delfines, solo el lugar y la puesta de sol ya merecía la pena! Eso si creí ver a lo lejos un delfín . . . . . #scotland #lighthouse #chanonrypoint #scotlandexplore #ig_scotland #historyinpictures #thisisscotland #instamoment #match_hdr #instantes_fotograficos #visiting #great_captures #traveling #blogger #blogertravel #travelgram #ig_captures #ok_people #womantraveler #peoplegrafias #nature #traveldestinations_ig #instagood #ok_landscape #estaes_de_todo #beautifulplaces #fever_allpics #traveler #fever_streets

In the middle of the Iranian desert in the ancient town of Pasargadae, stands the Tomb of Cyrus the Great, a monument to one of the most important rulers in Persian history. Cyrus was the founder of the Achaemenid Dynasty (c. 550-330 BC), which became the world’s largest empire before it was eclipsed by that of Alexander the Great.⁣ .⁣ Although the city of Pasargadae is now in ruins, the burial place of Cyrus the Great has remained largely intact and today it is an archaeological site listed as a UNESCO heritage site to help protect such an influential part of Iranian history.⁣ ⁣ Follow @thehumanoriginproject⁣ @ancientdestinations⁣ Mohammad Reza Domiri Ganji

The greco-roman remains of Aspendos ancient city are situated in Pamphylia, approximately 40 km east of Antalya, on the Eurymedon river. The city was 16 km away from the Mediterranean coast. The main reason for most of the tourists to visit Aspendos is its Roman theatre which is the best preserved structure of its kind in the world. The additional attraction of Aspendos lies in the possibility of participation in many artistic events organised in the theatre.⁣⁣ However, Aspendos is more than just a theatre, there are also the ruins of many other structures, including a stadium, a basilica and an agora. Moreover, the local aqueduct is well-preserved. One of two starting points for the St. Paul's walking trail starts in Aspendos, while the second one is situated in Perge.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ According to Greek tradition Aspendos was funded by the colonists from Argos who arrived here under the leadership of Mopsos around 1000 BC. Argos was a city located in the Peloponnese. Most probably the area of Aspendos had earlier been settled by the local inhabitants, but the city started to develop only after the arrival of the Greeks.⁣⁣ Aspendos minted its own coins which were widely accepted in the ancient world, thus giving evidence to the huge importance of the city. In 5th century BC Aspenos was the main city in Pamphylia and competed with Side that also minted its own silver coins. In the 5th and 4th centuries BC, according to the information provided by the coins, Aspendos was called Estwediya. This name may be derived from the name of king Asitawada who is mentioned on Hittite hieroglyphic inscriptions from Karatepe near Adana. The symbols of the city, visible on the coins, were two naked wrestlers.⁣⁣ The significance of Aspendos in Greek era did not come from its political influences, but from the well-developed economy which provided great wealth for the city. The city collected great incomes from the trade in salt, olive oil and wool. It was also renowned from horse breeding and its horses were highly valued in the whole Mediterranean region.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Follow @thehumanoriginproject

Close before Machu Picchu, at the far end of the Sacred Valley of the Incas hides a precious gem only a few tourists to Peru have on their radar: Ollantaytambo. The ancient Inca fortress was built around the middle of the 15th century and is the second most well-preserved ruin in Peru.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Many of the stones at Ollantaytambo weigh more than 70 tons, and they too were quarried from the side of a mountain, dozens of kilometers away. One of the most curious monuments at Ollantaytambo is the six supermassive monoliths which were put together in such a way that not a single piece of paper can fit between them.⁣⁣ Ollantaytambo is separated into 4 distinct areas: The ancient town, the temple hill, the ceremonial area and the agricultural sector. While there are yet other things to do in Ollantaytambo, the Inca ruins really are the reason you should visit. You will probably need almost a full day to tour to see it all. Decide for yourself what you want to see and what to skip if you are short on time. Do consider, though, that with an altitude of 2,792 meters you will have to take things a bit slower than usual.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ How do you think they constructed and moved such enormous stones? ⁣ ⁣ Follow @thehumanoriginproject
