The Stairs of Death

The "Stairs of Death

The "Stairs of Death," constructed by the Incas during their reign from 1438-1533 CE, are a harrowing section of stone steps located on Huayna Picchu mountain. Standing 2693m above sea level, Huayna Picchu is one of the steep peaks overlooking the renowned site of Machu Picchu in Peru. 

These stairs lead to the summit of Huayna Picchu, where Inca ruins can be found. The Incas ingeniously used agricultural terraces and platforms resembling steps to cultivate crops on these steep inclines. Among the stunning views from Huayna Picchu, old city of Machu Picchu is particularly remarkable, along with the vista of the Temple of the Moon. 

The Huayna Picchu Stairs of Death are notoriously narrow, often too narrow for climbers to place both feet on a step simultaneously. Moreover, climbers have no handrails or safety features to hold onto, relying solely on the terraces on one side for support.

موت کی سیڑھیاں

۔1438-1533 عیسوی کے دوران انکاوں کی طرف سے تعمیر کی گئی "موت کی سیڑھیاں"، ہوانا پچو پہاڑ پر واقع پتھر کی سیڑھیوں کا ایک دردناک حصہ ہے۔ سطح سمندر سے 2693 میٹر بلندی پر واقع ہوانا پچو ایک ایسی کھڑی چوٹیوں میں سے ایک ہے جو پیرو میں ماچو پچو کے مشہور مقام کو دیکھتی ہے۔

 موت کی سیڑھیاں بدنام زمانہ تنگ ہیں، اکثر کوہ پیماؤں کے لیے دونوں پاؤں ایک ساتھ ایک قدم پر رکھنے کے لیے بہت تنگ ہیں۔ مزید برآں، کوہ پیماؤں کے پاس پکڑنے کے لیے کوئی ہینڈریل یا حفاظتی خصوصیات نہیں ہوتیں، وہ صرف ایک طرف کی چھتوں پر سہارے کے لیے انحصار کرتے ہیں۔

liquid water discovered on Mars

liquid water discovered on Mars This is the first clear evidence of liquid water, not just frozen ice, discovered on Mars. A groundbreaking discovery published in Science has confirmed that Mars once had liquid water, offering new insights into the planet’s climate and potential for supporting life.  Researchers analyzing data from NASA’s Curiosity rover identified ancient "wave ripples" in rocks at the Gale Crater region, dating back 3.7 billion years. These ripples, formed by wind and water, indicate the presence of a shallow, open-air lake about 2 meters (6.5 feet) deep.  The discovery highlights a time when Mars had a warmer climate and a thicker atmosphere capable of sustaining liquid water — a critical ingredient for life as we know it. This revelation has far-reaching implications for understanding Mars' habitability and planning future missions.  The presence of liquid water raises the possibility that microbial life once thrived on the planet. Additionally, remna...

Apples found at high altitudes are exposed to intense ultraviolet light during the day, causing significant temperature fluctuations. Such climatic conditions contribute to the production of the characteristic black color of the apple. Although the inside of the black diamond apple is like a regular apple...
