The surface of the globe is covered with a dense network of sacred zones. Humanity assigns the status of "sacred" mountains and rivers, temples and monuments, roads and places of life of great people. The sacred objects of the Earth unite peoples and states, here people get strength and health, meditate and perform rituals. The Encyclopedia of Sacred Geography describes about 300 sacred objects: from "places of power" of ancient people to places that enjoy the veneration of modern man.
