During its construction, the Great Wall of China was called “the longest cemetery on earth” because so many people died building it. Reportedly, it cost the lives of more than one million people.

The largest Egyptian pyramid is the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza (also called Great pyramid, Pyramid of Cheops), it stands at an impressive 146 meters. There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt. It took numerous years, usually decades, for even one of the ancient Egypt pyramids to be built. Pyramids were primarily used as the burial tomb for the royal family. Not one single mummy has ever been found in a pyramid in Egypt. The word pyramid has its origin in two Greek words pyra meaning fire, light, and the word midos meaning measures. The Great pyramid is the only remaining structure of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. Estimates say that 20,000 to 30,000 workers built the Pyramids at Giza for more than 80 years. Computer calculations indicate that 590,712 stone blocks were used for Great pyramid construction... Jumbo jets use 4,000 gallons of fuel to take off.

The average human heart makes 72 beats per minute. Heart is muscular organ who's primary function is to pump blood through the blood vessels. In one average lifetime heart beats more than 2,5 billion times. Human heart's weight is usually between 250 g to 300 g in females and 300 g to 350 g in males. High blood pressure and high cholesterol can increase the risk of developing heart disease. There is connection between cholesterol and heart attack though not as big as some people think because more than 50 % of all heart attack cases happened to people with normal cholesterol. The first open heart surgery was performed by Dr. Daniel Hall Williams in 1893. First successful heart transplantation happened in 1967 in Cape Town, South Africa. When you are resting heart is still working hard, in fact the muscles of the heart work twice as hard as the leg muscles of a person sprinting.

While most birds fly a few hundred feet off the ground, migrating birds fly much higher to take advantage of favorable winds. The high flying record must go to the unfortunate vulture that collided with a jetliner over West Africa at a whopping 37,000ft! The longest possible eclipse of the sun is 7.31 minutes. A study of one million students in New York showed thatstudents who ate lunches that did not include artificial flavors, preservatives, and dyes did 14% better on IQ tests than students who ate lunches with these additives.

On 15 April 1912 the SS Titanic sunk on her maiden voyage and over 1,500 people died. Fourteen years earlier a novel was published by Morgan Robertson which seemed to foretell the disaster. The book described a ship the same size as the Titanic which crashes into an iceberg on its maiden voyage on a misty April night. The name of Robertson's fictional ship was the Titan.
When Albert Einstein died, his final words died with him. The nurse at his side didn't understand German The right lung takes in more air than the left.

A shrunken head is a severed and specially prepared human head that is used for trophy, ritual, or trade purposes in the northwestern region of the Amazon rain forest
A watch is never seen on a thumb but times have changed thanks to Timex. Timex, in collaboration with Core77, held a global design competition called 2154: the future of time design. So what you are seeing here is the TX54 concept. It is a disposable clock and calendar that can be worn on the user's thumbnail. The nail clock makes seeing in the dark as easy as pressing down on the end of your thumbnail. Wonder how much this concept will sell. No doubt it’s stylish. The only known vertebrates without Red blood cells are the crocodile icefishes . |

jealousy,cures
what is envy
Envy(hassad) is a negative emotion felt due to self-comparison of possessions. We all envy people about something.... It's part of human nature....... Envy is a tendency to view the well-being of others with distress. Envy is pain at the good fortune of others. (Aristotle) In Islam, envy (Hassad in Arabic) can destroy one's good deeds. Therefore, one must be content with what God has given to them by saying Maashallah (God has willed it). "Beware of jealousy, as it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood." Prophet (pbuh) said, “Do not envy each other, do not hate each other, do not oppose each other, and do not cut relations, rather be servants of Allaah as brothers. It is not permissible for a Muslim to disassociate from his brother for more than three days such that they meet and one ignores the other, and the best of them is the one who initiates the salaam.” Saheeh al-Bukhaaree [Eng. Trans. 8/58 no. 91], Saheeh Muslim [Eng. Trans. 4/1360 no. 6205, 6210]wikipedia • Stop Comparing; • A famous psychiatrist says i know that the fastest way to depression is by comparing one’s insides with another’s outsides. • – “Comparison is the seed and jealousy is the fruit!”. Comparison leads to jealousy, and both are mind-created states. “Our mind is so caught up in comparison that it misses the actual quality of what it sees. It is helpful to be reminded that there is no end to comparison, because there is no end to our expectations. “Mind is that Illusion which shows a tiny mustard seed to be a huge mountain until it is attained, and a mountain to be as insignificant as a mustard seed once it has been attained!“ Be happy with what you have. We can all look at others and envy their appearance, their career, relationships, wealth, but interestingly they may well be looking at us and envying something that we take for granted. Keep in mind, by using your own mind, you cannot compare yourself with most of the people of the world. • Love Yourself - “If you don’t fully accept and love yourself as you are, you could be more prone to comparing yourself to others as a way of artificially boosting your feeling of self-worth.” • Just be yourself.
