Just imagine, during World War II, the ‘Queen Mary‘ was converted into a troopship. It crossed the Atlantic ocean 86 times to carry 16,000 soldiers. Most of the Ger-
man submarines tried to capture the ‘Queen Mary’ but failed. Since it was sailing at a speed of over 30 knots*. It was able to
survive World War II. Today, the ‘Queen Mary’ can be visitedin Long Island, housing a museum and a hotel.

Just take a look at this edifice built of white-grey Acropolis* limestone. Erected in the 5th century it was dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, who
was the tutelary and patron goddess of the city of Athens. Moreover, she became the goddess of several other cities, of war and wisdom.
Currently they put a lot of effort in restoring this monument.

Once, the steam locomotive was the first self-propelled rail vehicle mechanical-powered. Look, Phileas is shovelling coal into the firebox.
So, heat is produced to boil the water in the boiler, which produces the steam to get the steam engine running.
In the middle of the 20th century, the locomotives powered by steam were gradually
replaced by diesel- and electric-powered trains.

This huge wall was built in the 3rd century BC to protect the Chinese empire against invasion of nomadic people*. Hundreds of thousands of workers, even prisoners
and political convicts were necessary to complete the wall. The original wall had a total length of 5,000 km, today about
half of it still exists. It is the only building in the world which can be viewed from outer space.

The marvellous mosque was built in the order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. He became the fourth sultan since the conquest of Constantinople (which was
Turkey’s capital in those days). Therefore, the mosque was constructed with four minarets*. You can see them very well. The Galata tower had
once been a watch tower to defence the city. Today, it serves as an observation deck.

Now, we have reached Ireland and the romantic ‘Valley of the Two Lakes‘ with this splendid monastery. It got its name from Saint Kevin who founded it in the
6th century. Students and monks* from all over the world came to this place to study.
It was the most famous school and the centre of learning Irish religion.
Since the bell tower of the church looks like a chimney, in Ireland it is commonly known
as St Kevin’s Kitchen.

For a long time the Eiffel Tower with a height of 320 m was the highest tower in theworld. In 1889 it was designed by engineer Eiffel for the world fair. Every seventh
year the tower gets a new paint. This work requires 25 painters, 16 tonsof colour and 1,500 brushes. If it is very windy, it is said that the
tower moves back and forth up to 13 cm. Moreover, metal expands when exposed to extreme heat. So, the
tower might grow about 18 cm.

secretly disappeared in the floods of the River Thames*. One of the towers, the ‘Bloody Tower’ got its name from these happenings. According to an
old legend the presence of the ravens ensure the existence of the British empire.

Now the route of our journey leads us through a deep and narrow gorge to the desert. There, we will find the desert city Petra with its impressive temple. Just imagine, the temple was carved out of one single rock of sandstone.
The strange rose colour of this rock gave the city an additional name, the ‘rose-red city’.
