On the Trail of Myths and Secrets - A Journey to the Magical Places on EarthThere are places in the world that have their own special magic. A peak like Mount Everest, surrounded by myths and secrets. Or lonely Easter Island, with its stone giants - a mystery even today. Then there is legendary Atlantis: no one knows if it really existed. A crevice in Iceland, the meeting place of two continents full of unimaginable power. These are some sites, places and even cities that have their own "magic", or at least leave a magical impression on humans, even if it's pure fantasy! This book leads us on a world tour of 18 magical sites. It's no ordinary journey, but a wild, daring trip never undertaken before!Acclaimed artist Claudia Lieb's evocative illustrations bring the magic of these special places to life!Contents:Atlantis - An Ancient Myth of HumankindThingvellir - The Parliament in the Continental DivideStonehenge - The Dance of the GiantsLorelei - The Charming Maiden of the RhineDelphi - Sacred Oracle at the Hub of the UniverseTimbuktu - The Mirage at the Edge of the Desert?Brandberg Mountain - Art Museum under the SkyTutankhamun's Grave - Buried for 3,000 Years in Desert SandsJerusalem - Birthplace of Three World ReligionsMount Everest - The Roof of the EarthMount Tai Shan - The Stairway to HeavenFujiyama - The Most Beautiful Mountain on Earth?Uluru - The Memorial in SandstoneEaster Island - The Home of the Stony GiantsMacchu Picchu - Ghost City in the Mountain PeaksPalenque - Sunken in the Ancient JungleMesa Verde - Life on the PrecipiceThe Milky Way -- Magical Flickerings from the Starry Sky
