A5 Cu�ntos de estos Hechos sobre el Mundo Ya Sabias? Una de las cosas mas intrigantes de viajar es descubrir por que las cosas son como son hoy. Desde secretos ocultos hasta extranos fenomenos, a continuation le presentamos 16 datos sobre el mundo que pueden parecer absurdas al principio, pero que en realidad se han demostrado como hechos reales. AZERTAC CU LTURA Nieva en el desierto del Sahara Se sabe que los desiertos tienen muy pocas precipitaciones. Si las precipitaciones son escasas, ino se - rim las nevadas aun mas raras? Pues bien, lo imposible ocurrio en 2018 y el desierto del Sahara se cubrio de un manto de nieve blanca. Sin embargo, la nieve solo duro un dia antes de de- rretirse bajo el calido sol. La primera nevada registrada fue en 1979: una tormenta de nieve que duro media hora. Aunque las tem- peraturas bajan hasta el punto de congelation por la noche, la falta de humedad hace casi imposible que se produzca nieve. Pero quien sabe, ipuede que tengas la suerte de verla en to proximo viaje al Sahara! Solo hay dos pekes en el mundo donde no existe la Coca Cola Puede que pienses que la Coca Cola es algo que puedes encontrar en cualquier parte del mundo, pero es- tos dos paises han estado sometidos a embargos comerciales estadouni- denses de larga duration: Corea del Norte desde 1950 y Cuba desde 1962. Sin embargo, Corea del Norte ha fabricado su propio refresco de co- lor oscuro. La Ilaman Ryongjin Cola o "Cocoa Sparkling" Tiene el mismo envase rojo y la misma tetra cursiva, pero itiene el mismo gran sabor? Sudan es el pais con mas piramides del mundo (no Egipto) Egipto y piramides son casi sinoni- mos, pero Lsab(as que tambien hay piramides en Sudan? Nubia, una re- gion de Sudan, tiene 255 piramides, iel doble de las de Egipto! Tras gobernar la 25a dinastia de Egipto, los faraones nubios huyeron a Sudan y formaron el reino kushita, incorporando la cultura egipcia en su nueva ciudad. Las piramides de Nubia no son tan visitadas como las de Egipto. Jebel Barkal es el mas gratificante de los cuatro sitios principales. Las piramides estan bien conservadas y se encuentran junto a una pequena montana. Suba a la montana justo an- tes de la puesta de sol para disfrutar de unas vistas impresionantes del Nilo. El arco iris mas brillante de Colombia esta en su rio Normalmente, el arco iris se en- cuentra en el cielo, pero el Cao Cris - tales, tambien conocido como el "Rio de los Cinco Colores, brilla mas que cualquier arco iris del cielo. Situado en el Parque Nacional Na- tural Serrania de la Macarena de Co- lombia, este impresionante rio debe su belleza multicolor a la Macarenia Clavigera, una planta que vive en el cauce. Lo mejor es visitarlo entre mayo y noviembre, cuando las hier- bas del rio florecen en amarillo, azul, verde y rojo. En esta epoca adquieren tonalidades mas brillantes porque las aguas son menos profundas, lo que permite que la luz del sol Ilegue a las plantas. El desierto del Sahara solia ser una selva tropical LOtra vez el Sahara? Creeme, este es extra genial. El desierto del Sahara es conocido por ser el mas caluroso del mundo. Sin embargo, hace solo 6.000 anos, esta tierra seca era una exuberante selva tropical con una espesa vegeta- cion y altas precipitaciones. Aunque nosotros no hemos sido testigos del Sahara en pleno apogeo, las generaciones futuras podrian ha- cerlo. Si el mundo sobrevive los proxi- mos 10.000 anos, el mismo cambio constante en los patrones climaticos podria dejar al Sahara con un aspecto muy diferente. Macchu Pichu es una ciudad a prueba de terremotos Esta antigua ciudad inca descan- sa sobre dos Tineas de falla en Peru. Eso significa que los terremotos eran eventos esperados. Asi que, icomo vivieron a traves de ellos? De hecho, los incas crearon una brillante tecnica de ingenieria llama - da "silleria", en la que las rocas se cor- tan para que encajen perfectamente entre s( sin mortero. Esto permitia que las piedras se movieran en su lugar durante un terremoto, antes de asentarse de nuevo en sus posiciones originales. iGenio o que? China tiene un solo huso horario Tener una sola zona horaria esta bien si el sol sale y se pone a la misma hora para todos. Sin embargo, mien- tras Beijing se prepara para irse a la canna a medianoche, la gente de Xin- jiang esta empezando a ver la puesta de sol. Esto es bastante sorprendente, te- niendo en cuenta que China es casi del tamano de Estados Unidos, que tiene seis husos horarios. Curiosa- mente, China no siempre funciono con la hora de Beijing. La hora estan- dar de Pekin no se establecio hasta 1949, una decision del presidente Mao Zedong en nombre de la unidad nacional. Antes de eso, en 1912, habia cinco zonas horarias reconocidas que esta- ban entre cinco horas y media y ocho horas y media por encima de la hora de Greenwich. Por suerte, trabajar en una zona horaria no es mas que un leve incon- veniente para los chinos. Sin embar- go, los viajeros que planeen viajar con su mochila por China deben prepa- rarse para que sus relojes corporales se confundan un poco. El puente Golden Gate de San Francisco"habla" Este es uno de los hechos mas novedosos del mundo. En junio de 2020, el querido puente Golden Gate de San Francisco comenzo a hablar sobre algunas modificaciones reali- zadas en las barandillas del carril bici. Literalmente. iLos sanfranciscanos informaron de que escuchaban sonidos espeluz- nantes a varios kilometros de distan- cia! Las autoridades municipales ex- plicaron que se trataba de vientos fuertes que atravesaban las nuevas barandillas. El puente es mas seguro para los usuarios cuando se enfren- ta a una menor resistencia al viento. Por lo tanto, el sonido es una buena sena) de que los fuertes vientos estan pasando por el puente sin problemas. Puedes hacer un safari en Sri Lanka Kenia no es la Unica experiencia de safari: hay otro lugar mas cercano que cuesta la mitad y que cuenta con su propia fauna y flora. A menos de cuatro horas de dis- tancia, en la encantadora Sri Lanka, se encuentra el propio safari de Asia. En las Ilanuras abiertas del Parque Nacional de Yala, podra ver elefantes, leopardos e incluso ayes acuaticas.
