Sigiriya is indeed a spectacular place, however it has hardly been lost, you can’t miss the place. As for Unesco calling it the Eighth wonder of the world I can’t find any reference to this on the Unesco web site, nor would I expect to though lots of people seem to quote this without any reference.

In reply to Bjarne Eivind Arvesen.

And then you hear “PERKELE”!

“Finn f(i)-nn as a boy’s name is pronounced fin. It is of Irish, Gaelic and Old German origin, and the meaning of Finn is “fair; from Finland”. Mythology: Finn MacCumhail was a legendary Irish hero (third century) somewhat like the English Robin Hood. His warrior-followers were called Finians. See also Finian.

Finn has 4 variant forms: Fin, Fionn, Fingal and Fingall.”

Sigiriya in Sri Lanka – The Palace on Top of a Rock, impossible to penetrate by the enemy. Apart from boulders positioned at strategic points, the King had massive Hornets Nests around the Rock. With one pebble the Hornets would attack. Even today the Hornets when disturbed, attack with sheer vengeance, killing humans. Another question is how water was transported to the Rock.

In reply to Vasileios Tsernisof. With all due respects, I don't think that is a fair comparison. Do you consider Meteora an Ancient Wonder / lost City?

In reply to Lars Høvik. Use Wikipedia or the Saga. It has been proved that the Norwegians was there. Unfortunately we didn't made the right decisions (the kings) and when the black plague came in a country with wide population the country collapsed and it took hundreds of years to recover. It is interesting to think how the world would be today if the Norwegian Wikings had succeeded. Definitely, we had no Trump :-)

In reply to Lars Høvik. The danes did never really sail anywhere but the ancient norwegians did because they dared to navigate out on open sea
