in saudi arabia(no where else\nThe Well of Zamzam (or the Zamzam Well, or just Zamzam; Arabic: زمزم) is a well located within the Masjid al Haram in Mecca, near the Kaaba, the holiest place in Islam.\nHistory\nMuslims believe that the well was revealed to Hagar, a wife of Abraham (known to Muslims as Ibrahim). She was was desperately seeking water for her infant son Ishmael, but could find none. Mecca is located in a hot dry valley with few other sources of water. Muslim traditions say that Hagar ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwa, looking for water. God then sent the angel Gabriel, who scraped the ground, causing the spring to appear. On finding the spring, Hagar confined the pool of water with sand and stones. Other versions of the story say Ishmael scraped the ground with his heel and the ZamZam appeared.\n\nThe grandfather of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, Abdul Muttalib, is said to have rediscovered the well after it had been neglected and had filled with sand. He became the guardian of the well, charged with maintaining it and serving the Arabs who came to Mecca on pilgrimage (as was done even in pre-Islamic times).\n\nAcademic historians doubt these stories, but do believe that the well might well have been important to the pre-Islamic inhabitants of Mecca, and perhaps one of the reasons that Mecca had become a pilgrimage site and trading center.\n[edit]\n\nTechnical information\n\nZamzam well is 30 meters deep. Depth to water is 3.23 meters. There are some springs contributing to the well at approximately 13 meters below surface.\n\nA pumping test at 8000 liters/second for more than a 24 hour period showed a drop in water level from 3.23 meters below surface to 12.72 meters and then to 13.39 meters, after which the water level stopped to recede. Water level recovered to 3.9 meters below surface just 11 minutes after pumping had stopped. The aquifer feeding the well seems to recharge from rock fractures in neighboring mountains around Mecca.\n[edit]\n\nZamzam today\nZamzam water dispenser at the Grand Mosque\nEnlarge\nZamzam water dispenser at the Grand Mosque\n\nThe story of Hagar and the divine origin of the Zamzam well is commemorated in the Islamic rites of pilgrimage, the Umrah and the Hajj. Like Hagar, pilgrims run between the hills of Safa and Marwa seven times.\n\nMany Muslims believe that the water of the Zamzam well is divinely blessed (it is believed to satisfy both hunger and thirst, and cure illness) and make every effort to drink of this water during their pilgrimage. The water is served to the public through coolers stationed throughout the Masjid al Haram in Mecca and the Masjid al Nabawi in Medina. Pilgrims also fill water canisters from special taps, to take home as gifts for relatives and friends, and also dip their pilgrimage clothes, ihram, in the water. The inhram are preserved to serve as burial clothes when the pilgrim dies; thus he or she will go to the grave touched by the Zamzam water.\n\nAs the Muslim population of the world has grown, and air travel has made the Hajj more accessible to them, the Hajj is increasingly crowded. There can be up to four million pilgrims performing the Hajj. There is increasing concern that the Zamzam Well may not be able to provide enough water to satisfy all demands. The Saudi Geological Survey has set up a Zamzam Studies and Research Centre, which is charged with keeping the Zamzam water both hygienic and plentiful.\n\nThere have been some attempts to scientifically validate Muslim beliefs regarding the special nature of Zamzam water. The water is said to contain high levels of some minerals: calcium, magnesium, and fluoride.

The only pyramid I ever heard of in China was the one of the Chinese emperor that was built over a few thousand years ago. It was mounded together. They did sona grams of the mound and found that it was a huge complex  covering a few hundred acres. They were never allowed to dig tin the area. The Chinese government still fears the curse behind the mound ... That if anyone disturbs the finally resting place the country will be destroyed by the emperor after he is awaken.

During the peak of trade between these two regions, Guangzhou was littlemore than a fishing village and the real centre of commerce was up the coast in Quanzhou.  Even the governor at that time was an Arab.\nA visit to the maritime museum is one of the hidden gems of the PRC.  Check out sources for some useful links.

Iraq is not a very mountainous region, and given that it's the oldest inhabited country in the world (Babylon and Sumeria) it's possible that most of the easily obtained natural resources have been used by the centuries of civilizations.\n\nThat was my opinion, now for the facts from the CIA World Factbook:\nIraq, Natural resources: petroleum, natural gas, phosphates, sulfur\n\nAlthough the CIA are scumsucking bastards, the World Factbook is a good resource published annually and can be downloaded for free from their website.

The Three Gorges Dam is ready to hold water on June 1 as scheduled. The water is supposed to reach 135 meters in 15 days. During this period, the water rising will exert some influence on the navigation-\nThis is from a website detailing the project:\nI will say that this website is a bit of cheerleading- the seismic worries are not resolved, and cannot really be any more than those same worries in the San Andreas Fault.
