Singapore now has world's most powerful passport - Duration: 3:32.

Tiny Singapore now has world's most powerful passport with Germany in second place, the UK claiming fourth and the U.S slipping to SIXTH

Tiny Singapore now has the worlds most powerful passport, according to a new ranking, with its citizens able to travel to the greatest number of countries visa-free.

Passport Index, which keeps track of how useable such documents are, said the city-state grabbed the top spot after Paraguay removed restrictions for Singaporeans.

That means the approximately 3.

4million holders of Singaporean passports can now travel to 159 countries either without a visa at all, or can have one issued on arrival.

Germany came in second place, with its citizens able to visit 158 countries without a visa, while Sweden and South Korea tied for third.

The US passport was in sixth place, alongside Malaysia, Ireland and Canada.

Afghanistan came bottom of the list with visa-free access to just 22 countries.

Passport Index said the US passports usefulness has fallen since President Donald Trump took office, with Turkey and the Central African Republic becoming the most recent countries to revoke their visa-free entry for holders.

Passport Index ranks passports worldwide based on the cross-border access a holder has.

It was developed by Canada-based global consultancy Arton Capital.

For the first time ever, an Asian country has the most powerful passport in the world, Philippe May, managing director of Arton Capitals Singapore office, said in a statement.

It is a testament of Singapores inclusive diplomatic relations and effective foreign policy.

It is the only real time global ranking of the world's passports, updated as frequently as new visa waivers and changes are announced, Passport Index said.

In March, Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index declared that Germany had the most powerful passport in the world.

Sweden remained static in its ranking in second place and Denmark, Finland, Italy, Spain and the US jointly ranked third, with their nationals enjoying access to 174 countries without a visa at the time.

Google Earth reveals 400 mysterious stone structures - Duration: 5:40.

Mystery of Saudi Arabia's ancient 'gates': 400 stone structures found on the edge of volcanoes are spotted on Google Earth, but archaeologists have no idea why they were built

Archaeologists have discovered 400 mysterious stone structures on the edge of volcanoes that could be thousands of years old in a remote desert area in Saudi Arabia.

The stone structures- which were found using Google Earth - have been dubbed the gates because they appear to look like field gates from above.

Built across ancient lava domes, some of these strange features are more than four times the length of a football pitch, and experts believe they may be up to 7,000 years old.

  The stone walls have been dubbed the gates because they appear to look like gates in a field from above, although their purpose remains unknown.

The strange cluster appear to be the oldest man-made structures in the landscape and some are up to 1,700 feet long and built across old lava domes.

The smallest gates are 43 feet (13 metres) in length while the longest are 1,699 feet (518 metres) long.  Experts say that thousands of years ago this area would have been much more hospitable than it is now.  There is no obvious explanation of why they were built.

   .

David Kennedy of the University of Western Australia said the purpose and age of these structures, found in the Harrat Khaybar region in Saudia Arabia, remains unknown.

Gates are found almost exclusively in bleak, inhospitable lava fields with scant water or vegetation, places seemingly amongst the most unwelcoming to our species, he wrote in a paper due to be published in November in the journal Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy.

The gates are stone-built, the walls roughly made and low, he said.

Remains of lava flows can be seen on top of some of the gates, suggesting that they are older than some of the lava flows.

The strange clusters appear to be the oldest man-made structures in the landscape, Dr Kennedy wrote.

The smallest gates are 43 feet (13 metres) in length while the longest are 1,699 feet (518 metres) long, writes Live Science.

Dr Kennedy said no obvious explanation of their purpose can be discerned.

Many of the structures have multiple stone walls that form a rectangular design whereas others - called I type gates - have one stone wall with piles of stones at the ends.

Most of them were discovered through satellite surveys and no archaeological fieldwork has yet been carried out.

Previous research has found thousands of stone structures that form geometric patterns in the Middle East.

These include two wheel-shaped patterns date back some 8,500 years.

A number of the designs, found in Jordans Azraq Oasis, appear to have an astronomical significance, built to align with the sunrise on the winter solstice, according to LiveScience.

Other types of stone structures such as kites, were used to hunt animals and wheel-shaped objects have also been discovered in the lava fields.

They were found on top of the gates - suggesting the gates pre-date them.

In the 1980s before the discovery of the gates two volcanists, Vic Camp and John Roobolmapped, visited the area.

They mapped an area that included a lava done with gates and other stone structures.

They estimated that some of the gates around the lava domes they looked at were built 7,000 years ago.

Dr Kennedy said archaeological fieldwork is necessary to determine exactly when they were constructed.
