Colourful Danxia rock formations
Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park, Gansu Province, China - 22 Sep 2012
With its rolling hills, rocky peaks and multitude of colours, this otherwordly visage looks like no place on Earth. However, the spectacular lunar landscape can actually be found at the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in Gansu Province, China. Like one giant red, orange and yellow-hued paint spattered artwork, the park offers breathtaking views that blaze with colour. The unusual colouration in the rocks is the result of red sandstone and mineral deposits being laid down over 24 million years. The resulting 'layer cake' was then cleaved and buckled by the same tectonic plates responsible for parts of the Himalayan mountains. Wind and rain finished the job by carving the striking formations, which are known as 'danxia' and can only be found in China, into weird and wonderful shapes. The end result of all these different factors are waves of rock layers - including dramatic natural pillars, towers, ravines, valleys and waterfalls.

PIRAMIDA SUDAN YANG TERLUPAKAN ZAMAN


Seorang pemandu wisata berjalan bersama untanya saat mendekati piramida Meroe di al-Bagrawiya, 125 mil utara Khartoum, Sudan, 16 April 2015. Pariwisata Sudan hancur oleh sanksi ekonomi terhadap negara itu dan juga karena perang saudara serta konflik di Darfur.
Situs arkeologis di Sudan bernama Sedeinga menyimpan kekayaan sejarah dari masa 2.000 tahun yang lalu. Situs tersebut memiliki sedikitnya 35 piramida kuno berukuran kecil.
Piramida-piramida itu ditemukan dalam kurun waktu 2009 sampai dengan 2012 oleh tim arkeolog yang tergabung dalam misi French Archaeological Mission to Sedeinga. Pada masa penggalian, para arkeolog terkejut melihat begitu padatnya piramida yang berada di situs tersebut.
Sebagai contoh, tahun 2011 tim menemukan 13 piramida yang dibangun pada area seluas 1.640 meter persegi atau hanya sedikit lebih besar daripada lapangan bola basket NBA.
Peneliti menduga, padatnya kompleks piramida itu disebabkan tingginya hasrat penduduk Kerajaan Kush (Kerajaan kuno di Sudan) untuk membangun piramida. Pembangunan piramida dipengaruhi oleh piramida Mesir. Pengaruh tersebut masuk setelah Kerajaan Kush membagi daerahnya dengan Mesir pada masa Kekaisaran Roma.
"Kepadatan piramida di Sedeinga sangat tinggi,” ujar Vincent Francigny, peneliti di American Museum of Natural History, New York, kepada Livescience, Rabu (6/2/2013) lalu.
"Sebab, selama ratusan tahun mereka terus membangun lebih, lebih, dan lebih banyak piramida. Dan, setelah berabad-abad, mereka mulai mengisi setiap ruang yang masih tersedia di pekuburan itu."
Pembangunan piramida terus berlangsung hingga pada satu titik dimana orang Kush kehabisan ruang untuk membangun piramida. Mereka menyadari bahwa ruang mulai penuh dan menggunakan lagi makam yang sudah dibangun sebelumnya untuk mengubur orang baru.
Peneliti mengungkapkan, ukuran piramida yang ditemukan sangat beragam. Piramida terbesar yang ditemukan berukuran hampir 7 meter. Sementara yang terkecil sepertinya digunakan untuk mengubur anak kecil, ukurannya hanya sebesar 76,2 cm
Pada saat ditemukan, puncak piramida sudah tak ada. Atap diduga rusak seiring waktu karena lokasi juga digunakan sebagai jalur iring-iringan unta.
Francigny menduga, puncak piramida mungkin dihiasi dengan batu yang bergambarkan burung atau bunga lotus di atas sebuah bola surya.
Francigny menjadi direktur penggalian dalam misi ke Sedeinga tersebut. Ia dan Claude Rilly, ketua tim peneliti, telah memublikasikan hasil temuan ini di edisi terbaru The Journal Sudan and Nubia.
