Here are two amazing sacred sites, the Shwedagon Pagoda<\/a> in Myanmar and the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquir\u00e1 in Colombia. The Shwedagon Pagoda is a Buddhist<\/a> temple over 2,500 years old. It has over 2000 diamonds and over 2500 rubies attached to its golden dome.<\/p>\n And the Salt Cathedral, as the National Geographic clip <\/a>below notes, is a Roman Catholic cathedral \u00a0underground and carved from the mineral deposits of an old salt mine.<\/p>\n Both sites are featured in an excellent photographic essay in the Huffington Post called \u201cThe 19 Most Stunning Sacred Places Around the World.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n
