Have you ever seen a picture or video of something and wondered if it's real? We've all seen plenty
of movies with incredible cgi and we've seen photoshop pictures that look so unreal and
most the time it's because they are photoshop has sort of made us very skeptical about the world we
live in today i'm going to show you some places on planet earth that are hard to believe really
exist some are natural some are man-made either way a lot of people think they're fake when they
see them this video is just 10 locations that are hard to believe exist one thing that does exist is
the subscribe button on this channel it doesn't get nearly enough attention got it get it good
let's take a look number 10 spotted lake british columbia canada canada's spotted lake has long
been a sacred ceremonial spot for native okanagan people this lake sits about 20 minutes north of
oroville washington just over the border into canada in the winter this is just a normal
small lake in the summer the water of the lake evaporates and small mineral pools are left behind
each one a different color the okanagan people believe that each of the different pools and
different color hold different medical and healing properties visitors are asked not to trespass on
tribal land here so you gotta make sure you get the okay if they even give it to you don't expect
to go wandering up there with your drone and getting some really cool shots you're gonna end
up talking to someone if you do but it does look amazing and it is definitely not fake or cgi or
photoshopped or anything that's what it looks like number nine the travertine pools pancali turkey
the travertine pools are natural side and palm collie turkey this looks like a mountain of
snow from a distance and when you get up close it kind of still looks like it until you touch it you
realize it's the mineral calcite which is calcium carbonate the water here comes from the ancient
hieropolis hot spring the white limestone has been shaped over the millennia the mineral rich water
flows down the limestone mountain into different pools over terraces and has these little channels
that people like to sit in it's really interesting people come from all over just to sit and relax in
these pools it's been going on a very long time this is a very popular spot for the romans and
even before them and it does look fake in the middle of the city there's a hot spring pool
called cleopatra's pool and apparently this was gifted to her by marc anthony and she used to
use it all the time it's still there now the legend about this place is that the formation
are solidified cotton that's kind of what was grown in the area but some giants left it out to
dry and forgot about it and it kind of petrified either way it is real and it's pretty amazing
number eight tianzi mountains china these mountains look like a scene from the movie
avatar and i read one thing that said they are the inspiration for that part of the movie they
are found in the northwest section of the hunan province in china these limestone pinnacles defy
logic and are often shrouded in mist that gives the mountains an otherworldly appearance these
pinnacles go straight up and in most cases have bushes growing all over them in recent years rock
climbers have been making a trek out here like this is the bucket list trip for rock climbers if
you want to get to the village that's up amongst all these pinnacles you could hike it but they do
have a cable car that'll get you up there too so this one is definitely real but it looks so
fake i mean it inspired part of a movie about a fantasy world it's only fitting for this location
number seven the hand in the desert chile right off the pan-american highway in the middle of the
chilean desert sits a hand a hand that reaches towards the heavens it was done by chilean
sculptor mario iriza zabal i think that's his name here it is i mispronounce it i'm sure i apologize
you could tell this wasn't done by a new york sculptor if it was there'd be a big giant middle
finger in the middle of the desert the sculpture sits at an altitude of about 1100 meters above sea
level it's there to emphasize human vulnerability and helplessness the hand is made out of iron and
concrete and stands about 11 meters or 36 feet tall this one those things if you happen to be
cruising through the desert in chile you have to stop and take a picture with the hand hopefully
you'll get there on a day when it's not covered in graffiti yeah that's a problem with this thing
they gotta go out and clean it every once while because it's so remote i mean this place is in
the middle of nowhere no one's ever around unless they're taking a quick picture for two minutes or
they decide to graffiti the hell out of the thing so they go out and clean it every once in a while
if you happen to be driving by or you happen to see it on the internet it does look like it's fake
like it was part of a movie set or something like that no it's a true sculpture in the middle of
the desert number six the red beach pangean china this is a very cool and very strange looking beach
it is covered with a type of seaweed that's red now it's not always that color turns bright red
in the autumn the rest of the year it's kind of yellow this one is just really strange look how
red it gets that's no color correction that's no photoshopping that's how red this place actually
is if you do decide to visit this one make sure you go in the autumn so you could see it in all
its glorious redness now they have these walkways you could walk along make sure you stay on the
walkways there's a type of acid that this seaweed lets out and it could dissolve a human being in a
matter of hour i'm totally kidding it's perfectly fine you'll just get muddy climb back up on the
thing and look like an idiot now only a small section of the beach is open to the public but a
lot of it can be explored via that wooden walkway that stretches all the way out to the sea i really
looked for some video of it but i didn't want to get hit with a copyright strike so you're getting
pictures on this one but it is definitely red and it is definitely real we got a few on this list
coming up that you may have thought your whole life were fake number five glass beach california
so this one's amazing because of how it came to be it's actually an environmental hazard back in the
early 1900s like 1901 or whatever the town of fort bragg which is right on the coast in california
they used to just use the ocean as their dump site it was a beach they just dumped everything
over the cliff onto the beach when that one got too full they moved on to another beach and
they've got three beaches filled with glass now here's the cool thing most the trash and the wood
either floated away or deteriorated cars and metal that were their appliances those were eventually
cleaned up but the glass was still there over the years the ocean had worn the glass down to
where it's nice and smooth like little fake gems or jewels or something like that now there are
some rocks and some sand there but a majority of the stuff that is on this beach that makes up the
beach is glass if you're looking for fort bragg on a map it is about midway between san francisco and
ferndale maybe a little closer to ferndale what's really interesting about this whole thing how it
came to be and it's basically a trash beach that kind of worked itself out now they worry about too
many people coming down to visit the beach and taking their glass kind of ironic number four
salt michelle france molson michelle sits on a tidal island off the coast of normandy
and it is a legit village and at one point it had almost 1200 residents these days it has less than
50 residents three million tourists visit it every single year if you've never seen it in movie i'm
sure you've seen a movie that had parts of it that were inspired by this place disney's tangled lord
of the rings they all took inspiration from molt saint michelle this one i bet most people that
don't know about it would look at it and think that this is fake that it's part of a movie set no
now it wasn't always just a village and a castle this was a fort and it kept the french people
safe from the british empire on a few different occasions and during the french revolution the
abbey that sits in the center of it at the top was used as a prison this one those ones i'm a little
surprised survived world war ii the germans were just destroying a lot of things in france and you
know if you're in that mindset this seems like a big prize for someone that wants to blow some crap
up number three popeye's village malta popeye has a village remember the old cartoon well this one's
because of the movie robin williams did over 40 years ago the movie was horrible i didn't even
like the cartoon when i was a kid it was done way before my time but it was horrible when they were
shown in reruns i don't know why they ever made it into a movie anyway the construction of the
film set began in 1979 a construction crew of 165 workers over seven months were needed to build the
village it consists of 19 wooden building hundreds of logs and several thousand wooden planks were
imported from the netherlands while wood shingles were shipped over from canada so this was quite
the to do well after the movie was done they kept it open and they turned it into somewhat
of amusement park now obviously this is 1979 and they couldn't just do this with a computer
so they actually had to build this set ship all the actors and all the movie people over there
just to do this movie it's really strange but yeah the people on malta didn't let it go to waste they
turned it into an amusement park of sorts i think i love just about every single movie
robin williams did this movie was not one of them number two the fly geyser nevada this is another
one that looks like it's from another planet it's on private land so it's kind of hard to get to and
you kind of gotta get the okay to go see it but it's on the edge of the blackrock desert in nevada
it was created accidentally in 1964 by an energy company that drilled too far down
well when they drilled too far down a big fountain of scalding water shot five to ten feet in the air
and it hasn't stopped it's been bubbling and dribbling and all that good stuff and now it's
a big cone of minerals the cone grows several inches a year if you go see it it's got all
kinds of different reds and greens mixed in but that's because of an algae that grows there like
i had said it is on private land in the middle of the desert and if you want to go see this thing
you're going to have to get a tour from friends of blackrock high rock it's in partnership with
the burning man project it said get a hold of them and you can go out and visit it or at least talk
to them about going out to visit it looks kind of gross and kind of neat all at the same time
all right before we get to number one don't forget we have another channel called on
this day we would love it if you went over there and subscribed and subscribe to this channel if
you already haven't alright on to number one and number one levita lakes national park croatia this
is definitely one that looks like it shouldn't exist it actually looks like a place where elves
live in lord of the rings if you had millions of dollars and wanted to build a water feature on
your property you'd probably want it to look like this if you're looking to up your instagram game
this is a great place to visit this is a national park and it is beautiful it's actually a unesco
world heritage site like a lot of the other ones on this list it is kind of in the northern
center part of croatia not too far from the bosnia-herzegovina border honestly this is one of
them that i've seen before that i thought was fake and like it was part of a movie just glancing at
it and i read and learned that no this is a real place and it's that amazing it is known for its
chain of 16 terrace lakes and they're all joined by waterfalls and they empty out into each other
there's cool things there's all kinds of hiking trails and walkways that you could get around
the lakes on it's pretty cool the national park here was established in 1949 it does cost to get
in here so you want to check ahead and see what the rate is because it does change quite often
all right that's today's video before you go there's some videos being suggested right now
really helps out if you click on one of them watch the second video if you have
time if not i understand everybody have a great day be nice to each other
