00:00:00Gear top here, and these are 100 archaeological mysteries that remain unsolved.
00:00:09Fabric dyed with insects.
00:00:12Scientists studied fragments of dyed fabric found in the school cave in Israel.
00:00:16These pieces of textile date back to the Middle Bronze Age.
00:00:20Scientists' research showed that the dye for the fabric was made from dried insects, Mediterranean Kermes.
00:00:26Even in ancient times, people learned to make dyes from living creatures.
00:00:30In the Mediterranean, the most expensive dye was purple, obtained from the secretions of sea mollusk glands.
00:00:35Another valuable red dye was made from dried insects.
00:00:38Dried female-scale insects, such as the Mediterranean Kermes, which lives on oak trees.
00:00:44Written evidence of the use of such dyes is found in cuneiform texts from the Nuzi archive and in the
00:00:49Old Testament.
00:00:50Archaeologists have also found Kermes in Neolithic vessels in France,
00:00:53although they were most likely used for magical or medicinal purposes.
00:00:58The earliest fragments of textiles dyed with Kermes come from ancient salt mines in Austria,
00:01:03dating from 1400 to 400 BC.
00:01:06Kermes was also used to dye the legendary Peseric carpet in Altai.
00:01:12Hobbit Thorin, as archaeologists nicknamed him,
00:01:15lived about 40 to 50,000 years ago at a time when the last Neanderthals disappeared from the face of
00:01:20the earth.
00:01:21His remains were found in a cave in the south of France,
00:01:25where he was probably hiding from the bitter cold.
00:01:28In 2015, archaeologists discovered a well-preserved fossilized jaw with 31 teeth and finger phalanges.
00:01:35Interestingly, Thorin's teeth, despite being worn down from active chewing, were in good condition.
00:01:42Analysis showed that this was an adult male, probably quite young,
00:01:45since Neanderthals lived on average about 20 years.
00:01:49The most striking thing was the genetic research.
00:01:52Thorin's DNA was very different from all known Neanderthal samples.
00:01:55This indicates an isolated population that separated from the rest of the Neanderthals about 100 to 105,000 years ago.
00:02:02Interestingly, as 10 days walk from this cave, there was another community of Neanderthals.
00:02:08But according to the analysis, they did not interact.
00:02:11Researchers are pondering how Neanderthals perceived the world and why they were so isolated.
00:02:17Unsociability was their characteristic trait.
00:02:19At the time they existed there were about 10,000 Neanderthals in the world,
00:02:23and over hundreds of thousands of years they became uncommunicative.
00:02:26They had a high rate of inbreeding, which is confirmed by numerous congenital anomalies.
00:02:31Finding one of the last Neanderthals is a huge stroke of luck.
00:02:35Isotopes in the bones confirmed that Thorin lived in the harsh climate of the Ice Age.
00:02:40Scientists still argue about why Neanderthals disappeared.
00:02:44Because of the harsh climate or competition with Cro-magnons.
00:02:47Anthropologists believe that climate was not the decisive factor.
00:02:50After all, the Ice Ages began long before their disappearance.
00:02:54It is likely that the more advanced Cro-magnons displaced them.
00:02:57Cro-magnons were not against interbreeding.
00:02:59Modern human genomes contain Neanderthal admixture.
00:03:02But no traces of Homo sapiens have been found in Neanderthals.
00:03:06Interestingly, a fragment of bone with a carved drawing was recently found in the Bryansk region of Russia.
00:03:12It may depict a mammoth.
00:03:14This is a rare example that indicates the presence of visual art among Neanderthals.
00:03:19Whereas Cro-magnons left behind numerous works.
00:03:23The head of a humanoid creature.
00:03:25A couple from Switzerland discovered a strange head of a humanoid creature with large eyes and a long neck on
00:03:32the river bank.
00:03:34Photos of the find were published on Reddit with the caption
00:03:37Found an alien statue head in the river.
00:03:40This post gathered more than 61,000 likes and numerous comments.
00:03:45Although the head really looks like an alien,
00:03:48it was later revealed that this sculpture was made by students many years ago.
00:03:51One of them used silicone molds to create concrete sculptures and covered it with fluorescent paint.
00:03:58When the students moved out, the sculpture was lost or thrown into the river.
00:04:03The sultan's treasure.
00:04:06The well of hell or the mysterious Hutu hole is a sinkhole in Yemen, surrounded by legends and myths.
00:04:13The locals believed that at the bottom of the well there were the sultan's treasures,
00:04:17guarded by Jinn and the dead, and that a cemetery-like smell came from there.
00:04:22Scientific research has confirmed some of these legends.
00:04:25Speleologists finally decided to explore the sinkhole, taking samples from its bottom.
00:04:30The sinkhole has a conical shape, with a diameter of about 30 meters at the surface,
00:04:35widening to 120 meters at the bottom.
00:04:38The well is 112 meters deep.
00:04:40The upper layer is porous and allows water to pass through,
00:04:43while below, the layer becomes denser and impermeable,
00:04:46which leads to the formation of four waterfalls and stalagmites.
00:04:50The sultan's treasures turned out to be cave pearls,
00:04:53rare formations of calcium carbonate that form around a grain of sand or a piece of wood.
00:04:58In Barkhut they have an emerald golden color, which probably misled ancient observers.
00:05:04At the bottom of the sinkhole snakes and arthropods live.
00:05:07The grave-like smell described by the locals is caused by the decomposing bodies of animals,
00:05:13mostly birds, that fly into the well seeking shelter from the heat.
00:05:17After descending to the bottom they can't fly back up because of the great depth.
00:05:21There are two main hypotheses about the origin of the well.
00:05:24The first is that it is the former vent of an underground volcano that has long been extinct.
00:05:30The second is that it is a natural well formed by water eroding underground layers over millions of years.
00:05:35Most likely, the Bahaud well was formed by the second process,
00:05:38which explains its unusual structure and contents.
00:05:43The Vatican's Alien Archives
00:05:46Ufologist Steve Bassett claims
00:05:48that the Catholic Church is hiding evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life in its archives
00:05:54and urges the Pope to reveal this information.
00:05:57In his opinion, the Church has known about contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations for a long time,
00:06:03but is deliberately hiding it.
00:06:05Bassett provides several pieces of evidence.
00:06:07First, he noticed strange images in medieval paintings that, in his opinion, indicate the influence of UFOs,
00:06:14hares fighting with knights,
00:06:16or trumpeters using their bodies in unusual ways.
00:06:19In his opinion, hint at extraterrestrial intervention.
00:06:24Secondly, in 2011, Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno jokingly said
00:06:29that the Church is ready to baptize aliens if any are found.
00:06:33Bassett took this as a hint at the existence of a secret Vatican program
00:06:37preparing for contact with extraterrestrial beings.
00:06:40Three.
00:06:40The third piece of evidence the ufologist cites is a statement
00:06:43by former U.S. intelligence officer David Grush
00:06:46that, in 1933, Italy discovered a UFO,
00:06:50and Pope Pius XII handed it over to the United States.
00:06:54Bassett urges the public to demand that the Vatican show these archives to the world.
00:06:59Four.
00:07:00They tried to treat cancer.
00:07:01The study of two ancient skulls yielded surprising results.
00:07:04Signs of cancer and traces of attempts to treat it were found on them.
00:07:08These findings show that the ancient Egyptians knew about cancer and tried to fight it.
00:07:14The signs of this disease included severe tissue destruction and small metastases.
00:07:19Especially interesting are the traces of cuts around the lesions,
00:07:23indicating that the Egyptians may have tried to remove tumors surgically.
00:07:27The ancient Egyptians were famous for their medical knowledge.
00:07:30They knew how to treat fractures,
00:07:32care for injuries and make prosthetics.
00:07:34And even put in dental fillings.
00:07:36However, their abilities in treating cancer were limited.
00:07:40Scientists studied two skulls from the Duckworth collection at the University of Cambridge.
00:07:45One skull belonged to a man aged 30 to 35 showing signs of cancer and surgical interventions.
00:07:52The other skull belonged to a woman over 50 years old with cancerous lesions and signs of healed injuries.
00:07:57The researchers emphasized that studying ancient remains comes with challenges.
00:08:02Incomplete skeletons and a lack of clinical history make conclusions difficult.
00:08:06Nevertheless, these findings offer a new perspective on ancient medical practices
00:08:11and highlight the need for further research in paleo-oncology.
00:08:15An underground chamber beneath the pyramids.
00:08:18Scientists from Japan and Egypt conducted a study of the giant necropolis in Giza.
00:08:23Their attention was drawn to a site in the western cemetery.
00:08:27Members of the ruling family and high-ranking officials were buried here.
00:08:31The burials were in tombs with flat roofs arranged in a row.
00:08:34There was an open area between them that had not been studied before.
00:08:38Japanese and Egyptian scientists studied it
00:08:41using ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic electrical tomography
00:08:45which allowed them to look deep inside without conducting excavations.
00:08:49The scan showed that at a depth of half a meter to two meters
00:08:52there is an L-shaped structure about 10 by 10 meters in size.
00:08:56The authors of the study believe that this is not a natural formation
00:09:00but an artificial one due to its regular shape and location.
00:09:04The researchers suggest that this structure may be part of a deeper structure.
00:09:08At a depth of 5 to 10 meters the instruments also detected an anomaly
00:09:13indicating heterogeneity in the rock.
00:09:16This could be another tomb or a chamber with artifacts.
00:09:19100,000 Ancient Coins
00:09:22In Mayabashi, Japan
00:09:25Archaeologists discover the unique find of over 100,000 ancient coins
00:09:30including Chinese Banliang coins
00:09:32dating from 175 BC to 1850.
00:09:35These coins found during the construction of a factory
00:09:38covered the period from the 7th to the 13th centuries.
00:09:40They were tied in bundles of 100 pieces using straw robes called Sashi.
00:09:44This place, located not far from the ruins of the Qin Dynasty Palace
00:09:48was chosen to hide the treasures
00:09:50probably because of the approaching war.
00:09:52A total of 1,060 Sashi bundles were found
00:09:55some of which contained up to 1,000 coins
00:09:58An analysis of 334 coins from the hoard
00:10:01revealed 44 different types of currency.
00:10:04They covered the period from the Western Han Dynasty
00:10:06to the Southern Song Dynasty
00:10:08The earliest coin, Banliang
00:10:10has a diameter of 2.3 cm
00:10:12with a square hole in the center
00:10:15and a thickness of 1 emimen
00:10:17The latest coin dates back to 1265
00:10:20indicating that the hoard was hidden
00:10:22during the Kamakura period.
00:10:25He disappeared 100 years ago
00:10:27The remains of a mountaineer
00:10:30who went missing in 1924
00:10:32have been found on Everest
00:10:33We're talking about Andrew Sandy Irvine
00:10:36who together with George Mallory
00:10:38tried to reach the summit
00:10:40Irvine's family did not know his fate
00:10:42for a very long time
00:10:43and the discovery brought them relief
00:10:45The team filming a documentary
00:10:47for National Geographic
00:10:49came across a boot
00:10:50during the ice melt on the glacier
00:10:52Experts suggested that it belonged to Irvine
00:10:54The relatives had already lost hope
00:10:56that any trace of him would be found
00:10:58For them, Uncle Sandy
00:11:00always remained the family hero
00:11:02whose story was told at gatherings
00:11:04Irvine was only 22 years old
00:11:07and is believed to have had a camera
00:11:08with undeveloped film with him
00:11:10which could have contained photographs
00:11:12from the summit
00:11:13Now Irvine's family has provided a DNA sample
00:11:16to confirm the identity of the remains found
00:11:18On the sock found in the boot
00:11:20there was a tag with his name
00:11:21A.C. Irvine
00:11:23Irvine and Mallory were last seen alive
00:11:25on June 8, 1924
00:11:28Mallory's body was not discovered until 1999
00:11:33The Medieval Astronaut
00:11:35In 1993
00:11:37European and American magazines published
00:11:39Sensational News
00:11:41Among the stone carvings of the cathedral
00:11:43in Salamanca, Spain
00:11:45an image of an astronaut was discovered
00:11:47Construction of the cathedral began in 1513
00:11:50and was completed in 1733
00:11:53journalists and readers actively discussed
00:11:57how people in the 18th century
00:11:59could have known about the existence of spacesuits
00:12:01Theories range from the artist's foresight
00:12:04to a visit from aliens
00:12:07However, enthusiasts were in for a surprise
00:12:09The figure of the astronaut turned out to be just a prank
00:12:12Among stone carvers in Europe
00:12:14there is a tradition of adding new details
00:12:16during the restoration of buildings
00:12:18In 1992 during the restoration of the cathedral
00:12:21a stone carver named Jeronimo Garcia
00:12:24with unofficial permission from the church authorities
00:12:27added several new figures to the facade
00:12:29including the astronaut
00:12:30This tradition brings historical buildings to life
00:12:33and adds a modern touch to them
00:12:35Okay, since Salamanca reminds us
00:12:37that the past and present
00:12:38can intertwine in surprising ways
00:12:40and restorers often leave their mark
00:12:42for future generations
00:12:45The Book of Kells
00:12:47The Book of Kells
00:12:48is a medieval manuscript
00:12:49kept in the Trinity College Library
00:12:51and is one of the main attractions of Dublin
00:12:55This manuscript contains
00:12:56the four Gospels in Latin and Canon tables
00:12:59written on parchment
00:13:00The book measures 33 by 25 cm
00:13:02and consists of 340 pages
00:13:05It was created at the end of the 8th
00:13:07and the beginning of the 9th century
00:13:09and research has shown
00:13:10that it had four illustrators
00:13:12A distinctive feature of the manuscript
00:13:14is that each letter
00:13:15has its own unique design,
00:13:17color and meaning
00:13:18as if it were a secret code
00:13:20that has yet to be deciphered
00:13:22The book got its name from the Abbey of Kells
00:13:24where it was kept safe from the Vikings in 814
00:13:27It is believed that work on it
00:13:29began during the lifetime of Saint Columba
00:13:31and continued for two centuries after his death
00:13:35Historians offer several theories
00:13:36about the origin of this manuscript
00:13:38According to one theory
00:13:40it was created on the island of Iona
00:13:41and later moved to the Abbey of Kells
00:13:44Another version says that
00:13:45the writing began on Iona
00:13:46but was completed in Kells
00:13:48There is a suggestion
00:13:49that the manuscript
00:13:50was created in England
00:13:52or even in Scotland
00:13:53Despite the variety of theories
00:13:55the book of Kells
00:13:56remains one of the most mysterious
00:13:57and magnificent works of art of the Middle Ages
00:14:02Busby's chair
00:14:02In the Thirsk Museum in North Yorkshire
00:14:05there is an old wooden chair
00:14:07hanging on the wall
00:14:08with a grim history
00:14:09This sinister object is known as
00:14:11Busby's chair
00:14:12or the dead man's chair
00:14:13It is said that this cursed chair
00:14:16brings death to anyone
00:14:17who dares to sit on it
00:14:18In 1702 Thomas Busby
00:14:21was convicted of murder
00:14:22According to one version
00:14:24he was arrested in a local tavern
00:14:25while sitting on his favorite chair
00:14:27At the moment of his arrest
00:14:29Busby cursed it
00:14:30Over time
00:14:31Busby's old pub seat
00:14:33became associated
00:14:34with the untimely deaths
00:14:35of those who sat on it
00:14:37For example
00:14:37several Canadian pilots
00:14:39during World War 2
00:14:40sat on this chair
00:14:41and soon died in bombing raids
00:14:44Although the mortality rate
00:14:45among pilots during wartime
00:14:47was already high
00:14:48in the 1970s
00:14:49several fatal car accidents
00:14:51and other tragic deaths
00:14:52were directly linked to the chair
00:14:55Eventually
00:14:55the pub owner gave it to a museum
00:14:57to prevent further tragedies
00:15:00What was found inside the alien mummies?
00:15:04Mexican journalist
00:15:05and ufologist
00:15:06Jaime Maussan
00:15:07made a sensational statement
00:15:09about the alien mummies
00:15:10found in Peru
00:15:11According to him
00:15:13rare metal alloys
00:15:14were discovered
00:15:15inside these bodies
00:15:16which could have served
00:15:17as devices
00:15:18for intergalactic communication
00:15:20One of these metals
00:15:21is Osmium
00:15:22a rare and very expensive element
00:15:24used in telecommunication
00:15:25and space technologies
00:15:27However
00:15:27it is also known
00:15:28for its toxicity
00:15:29and danger to humans
00:15:31Maussan
00:15:32suggests
00:15:32that the rare devices
00:15:33found
00:15:34could have been
00:15:35something like
00:15:35mobile phones
00:15:36which were used by aliens
00:15:38for communication
00:15:38It could be a communication device
00:15:41although no one knows
00:15:42how it works yet
00:15:44Osmium
00:15:44which was discovered
00:15:45is particularly surprising
00:15:47This metal
00:15:48is not only hard to find
00:15:50but it is also
00:15:51deadly dangerous
00:15:51If someone wanted to create a fake
00:15:54why would they put such a rare and toxic metal inside?
00:15:57Currently
00:15:58the bodies of the aliens
00:15:59are being studied in laboratories
00:16:01However
00:16:02many scientists
00:16:03are skeptical
00:16:04about these findings
00:16:05In their opinion
00:16:06the mummies
00:16:07could have been assembled
00:16:08from parts of different animals
00:16:11Stone spheroids
00:16:121.4 million years old
00:16:14In the 1960s archaeologists
00:16:17in northern Israel
00:16:18discovered an unusual find
00:16:20Almost 600 stone balls
00:16:22at a site
00:16:23dating back
00:16:231.5 million years
00:16:25A recent analysis
00:16:26of 150 of these balls
00:16:28showed that they were created
00:16:29by our ancestors
00:16:30This discovery suggests
00:16:32that earlier humanoid beings
00:16:33strove to create symmetry
00:16:35and were interested in craftsmanship
00:16:37The use of modern technologies
00:16:38made it possible
00:16:39to precisely measure
00:16:41the angles and curvature
00:16:42of the balls' surfaces
00:16:43as well as determine
00:16:44their center of mass
00:16:45The analysis showed
00:16:46that the spheroids
00:16:47represent a complex technology
00:16:49indicating the high cognitive abilities
00:16:51and skills of early Achillean people
00:16:53They may seem like
00:16:54ordinary stone balls
00:16:56but how much can they tell us
00:16:57about our ancestors?
00:16:591.5 million years ago
00:17:01our ancestors had
00:17:02completely different ways
00:17:03of thinking and needs
00:17:04That's why creating such artifacts
00:17:06in those days
00:17:07was considered a huge achievement
00:17:09A terrifying puzzle
00:17:11Researchers have discovered
00:17:13that in prehistoric times
00:17:14people in different parts
00:17:16of the world
00:17:16deliberately amputated
00:17:18their fingers
00:17:18as part of religious rituals
00:17:21This is evident
00:17:22from the analysis
00:17:23of cave art
00:17:24dating back 25,000 years
00:17:26in Spain and France
00:17:27which shows handprints
00:17:29with missing fingers
00:17:31Previously
00:17:31it was assumed
00:17:32that such defects
00:17:33could have been the result
00:17:35of medical issues
00:17:35or creative vision
00:17:37However
00:17:37according to a group
00:17:38of scientists
00:17:39these people may have
00:17:40deliberately cut off
00:17:41their own fingers
00:17:42in search of supernatural assistance
00:17:44Interestingly
00:17:44such rituals
00:17:45were common
00:17:46in various cultures
00:17:47and on all continents
00:17:48For example
00:17:49the Dany people
00:17:50in New Guinea
00:17:50still practiced similar rituals
00:17:52amputating women's fingers
00:17:54after the death of loved ones
00:17:55This supports the hypothesis
00:17:57that such rituals existed
00:17:59in the Paleolithic era
00:18:00Handprints with missing fingers
00:18:02have been found
00:18:03not only in Europe
00:18:03but also in Africa, Australia,
00:18:05North and South America
00:18:06and South and Southeast Asia
00:18:08This indicates
00:18:09the widespread nature
00:18:10of this practice
00:18:12The Immortality of Greenland Sharks
00:18:14When it comes to Greenland Sharks
00:18:16known for their longevity
00:18:17there has been
00:18:18an unexpected twist
00:18:19that may provide a key
00:18:20to unraveling the mystery
00:18:21of longevity
00:18:22not only in these fish
00:18:23but also in humans
00:18:24These sharks
00:18:25which inhabit the cold waters
00:18:27of the Atlantic and Arctic seas
00:18:28can live up to 500 years
00:18:30One of the oldest sharks
00:18:32which was born around the year 1100
00:18:33was already older
00:18:35than Peter the Great
00:18:36in 1624
00:18:37Scientists from the University
00:18:39of Copenhagen
00:18:40determined its age
00:18:41using carbon dating
00:18:43Despite the fact
00:18:44that Greenland Sharks
00:18:45are rarely encountered
00:18:46due to their habit
00:18:47of living at depths
00:18:47of several hundred meters
00:18:49scientists are actively
00:18:50studying them
00:18:50to understand the secret
00:18:51of their longevity
00:18:52Early studies have shown
00:18:54that slow metabolism
00:18:55plays a key role
00:18:57The rate of living theory
00:18:58suggests that lifespan
00:19:00is directly related
00:19:01to the speed
00:19:01of metabolic processes
00:19:02in the body
00:19:03However,
00:19:04recent data points
00:19:05to important habitats
00:19:07Greenland Sharks
00:19:08live in cold waters
00:19:10where the temperature
00:19:11can drop to minus 1.8 degrees
00:19:14Life in such conditions
00:19:15slows down all chemical
00:19:16and biological reactions
00:19:17in their bodies
00:19:18which may explain
00:19:19their immortality
00:19:20In addition
00:19:21they live in the depths
00:19:23where there are
00:19:24almost no natural enemies
00:19:26except for humans
00:19:27Professor Holly Schills
00:19:29from the University
00:19:30of Manchester
00:19:30believes that
00:19:31the isolated environment
00:19:32also contributes
00:19:33to their longevity
00:19:34the metabolism
00:19:35of these sharks
00:19:36remains stable
00:19:37throughout their lives
00:19:38which is unusual
00:19:39for most animals
00:19:40Scientists
00:19:41have not found
00:19:42significant changes
00:19:43in the metabolic activity
00:19:44of their muscle tissue
00:19:45with age
00:19:46Further research
00:19:48on shark tissues
00:19:49at the Arctic
00:19:49University of Norway
00:19:51should help
00:19:51to understand
00:19:52how climate change
00:19:53and pollution
00:19:54affect marine life
00:19:55in the long term
00:19:58Where have all the trees gone?
00:20:00I will tell you
00:20:01about the importance
00:20:02of protecting nature
00:20:03using the example
00:20:04of one island
00:20:05Easter Island
00:20:06located in the southeast
00:20:07of the Pacific Ocean
00:20:09and known for its unique statues
00:20:10appears to us today
00:20:11in a different light
00:20:12Once
00:20:13this island was covered
00:20:15with lush green forest
00:20:16but with the arrival of humans
00:20:18it lost its original appearance
00:20:19The first inhabitants
00:20:21of the island
00:20:22were the Polynesians
00:20:23who settled here
00:20:24despite the distance
00:20:24from the nearest continent
00:20:25Chile
00:20:26At one time
00:20:27the island's population
00:20:28reached 15,000 people
00:20:30which
00:20:30given its area
00:20:31of 160 square kilometers
00:20:33amounted to
00:20:3494 people
00:20:34per second square kilometer
00:20:36The main
00:20:37ecological disaster
00:20:38for the island
00:20:39was the deforestation
00:20:40of its forests
00:20:41which consisted
00:20:42of the unique
00:20:42Pascalococos desperta palms
00:20:44Gradually
00:20:45the settlers destroyed the forest
00:20:47to clear land
00:20:47for agricultural needs
00:20:49and to build canoes
00:20:50With the deforestation
00:20:51soil erosion began
00:20:52which led to its depletion
00:20:54and degradation
00:20:55completely depriving
00:20:56the island
00:20:56of fertility
00:20:57After the forest
00:20:58was cut down
00:20:59the remaining soil
00:21:00became fragile
00:21:01and vulnerable
00:21:02to tropical downpours
00:21:03losing its nutrients
00:21:04This led to
00:21:05Easter Island
00:21:06losing most of its
00:21:07endemic species
00:21:08except for the sedge
00:21:09Scarpus californicus
00:21:11Today
00:21:11we are faced
00:21:12with an example
00:21:13of how careless treatment
00:21:14of nature
00:21:15can lead to
00:21:16irreversible consequences
00:21:17However
00:21:18reforestation efforts
00:21:19have already begun
00:21:20on Easter Island
00:21:21which gives hope
00:21:22for its revival
00:21:24They have discovered
00:21:25the alien's homeworld
00:21:28Scientists believe
00:21:29that the exoplanet
00:21:31LHS 1140b
00:21:32may have an atmosphere
00:21:33suitable for breathing
00:21:35and an ocean
00:21:36of liquid water
00:21:38This planet
00:21:39was discovered
00:21:39back in 2014
00:21:40but new research
00:21:41has revealed
00:21:42many secrets
00:21:43Because of its
00:21:45unusual appearance
00:21:46LHS 1140b
00:21:48is called
00:21:48the iPlanet
00:21:49It is located
00:21:5048 light-years
00:21:52from Earth
00:21:52in the constellation
00:21:53Cetus
00:21:54and weighs 7 times
00:21:55more than our planet
00:21:56Research using
00:21:58NASA's telescope
00:21:59has confirmed
00:21:59the presence of water
00:22:00and a nitrogen-rich
00:22:02atmosphere
00:22:02similar to Earth's
00:22:03However
00:22:04the local Sunday
00:22:05is a tiny star
00:22:07only one-fifth
00:22:08the size of our Sunday
00:22:09It emits energy
00:22:10mainly in the red
00:22:11and infrared parts
00:22:12of the spectrum
00:22:13so the planet
00:22:14is likely shrouded
00:22:15in twilight
00:22:16If there is
00:22:17vegetation there
00:22:18it is most likely
00:22:19black in colour
00:22:20to absorb
00:22:20as much light
00:22:21as possible
00:22:22Recent studies
00:22:23have shown
00:22:24that the planet
00:22:24could be either
00:22:25a mini-Neptune
00:22:26made of gas
00:22:27or a mega-Earth
00:22:29covered with water
00:22:29Scientists
00:22:30lean toward the idea
00:22:32that this planet
00:22:33is a water world
00:22:34with a rocky core
00:22:35It is also believed
00:22:36to have a dense atmosphere
00:22:38and a stable climate
00:22:39Astronomer
00:22:40Ryan McDonald
00:22:41from the University
00:22:42of Michigan
00:22:42noted that
00:22:43this is the first time
00:22:44we've seen a hint
00:22:45of an atmosphere
00:22:46on a rocky
00:22:46potentially habitable
00:22:48planet
00:22:49We may have found
00:22:50evidence of air there
00:22:52Golden Tongues
00:22:54and Images of Gods
00:22:55Archaeologists
00:22:56from the Egyptian
00:22:57Ministry of Tourism
00:22:58and Antiquities
00:22:59discovered
00:23:00an amazing collection
00:23:01of artifacts
00:23:01during excavations
00:23:03at Tel Eldir
00:23:05This site
00:23:06yielded 63
00:23:07mud-brick tombs
00:23:08and other simple burials
00:23:11The team
00:23:12discovered
00:23:12numerous artifacts
00:23:13including items
00:23:15made of gold foil
00:23:16depicting gods
00:23:16such as Isis, Bastet
00:23:18and Horus
00:23:19as well as
00:23:19protective symbols
00:23:20and tongues
00:23:21that allowed the deceased
00:23:22to speak
00:23:23before the judgment
00:23:24of Osiris
00:23:24in the afterlife
00:23:25These foil fragments
00:23:26stand out for their
00:23:27craftsmanship
00:23:28and variety of materials
00:23:29Numerous burial gifts
00:23:31were also found
00:23:32amulets
00:23:33statuettes
00:23:34ushaptis
00:23:35figurines
00:23:36coins
00:23:36and a mirror
00:23:37which illustrate the burial
00:23:39customs of the 26th dynasty
00:23:41Among the finds
00:23:42was a ceramic vessel
00:23:43containing 38 bronze coins
00:23:45from the Ptolemaic era
00:23:46depicting the head
00:23:47of Zeus Amon
00:23:49These coins
00:23:50dated to the end
00:23:51of the 3rd century BC
00:23:52may have been buried
00:23:53during a major uprising
00:23:55against the Ptolemaic dynasty
00:23:56around 206 BC
00:24:00Mesopotamian clay balls
00:24:02clay balls over 5,500 years old
00:24:05are still shrouded in mystery
00:24:08These artifacts
00:24:09ranging in size
00:24:10from a golf ball
00:24:11to a baseball
00:24:12were found in Chogamish
00:24:13in western Iran
00:24:15in the late 1960s
00:24:16About 150 of these balls
00:24:18were discovered in total
00:24:19which only adds
00:24:20to the intrigue
00:24:21surrounding their purpose
00:24:22For a long time
00:24:24the prevailing theory
00:24:25was that the balls
00:24:26were used as a kind of tool
00:24:28for recording
00:24:28economic transactions
00:24:30This assumption
00:24:31was based
00:24:32on the discovery
00:24:32of a 3,300 year old ball
00:24:34containing 49 pebbles
00:24:36and cuneiform writing
00:24:37describing a deal
00:24:38with a shepherd
00:24:39However, the specific function
00:24:41of these balls
00:24:41remained a mystery
00:24:42In 2013
00:24:44using computed tomography
00:24:45and 3D modeling
00:24:46scientists
00:24:47looked inside the balls
00:24:48It turned out
00:24:49that they contained
00:24:50tokens of various shapes
00:24:52which could have served
00:24:53as numerical markers
00:24:54for tracking goods
00:24:55Researchers are trying
00:24:57to understand
00:24:57the system of grouping
00:24:58these tokens
00:24:59inside the balls
00:25:00One of the surprising
00:25:01discoveries indicates
00:25:02that some tokens
00:25:03were wrapped in cloth
00:25:04and placed inside the ball
00:25:05then covered
00:25:06with a liquid
00:25:07similar to bitumen
00:25:08Some balls
00:25:09had tiny channels
00:25:10possibly for thin threads
00:25:11which could have served
00:25:12as external markers
00:25:13and provided information
00:25:14about the contents
00:25:15Similar objects
00:25:16have been found
00:25:17in different cultures
00:25:18of that time
00:25:19including Scotland
00:25:20where more than 400
00:25:21carved stone balls
00:25:23from the Neolithic period
00:25:24have been discovered
00:25:25What do you think
00:25:26these mysterious artifacts
00:25:27could have symbolized?

00:25:32Advanced Construction Technology
00:25:34In Denmark
00:25:35archaeologists
00:25:36have made an important
00:25:37discovery
00:25:37at a 5,000-year-old settlement
00:25:39They discovered
00:25:41a stone-paved cellar
00:25:42which indicates
00:25:43significant progress
00:25:44in the construction
00:25:45technologies of ancient
00:25:46Scandinavia
00:25:47The discovery was made
00:25:48at the Newgartsvi
00:25:49three site
00:25:50where remains of
00:25:51residential houses
00:25:51belonging to the
00:25:52funnel beaker culture
00:25:53were also found
00:25:54Inside these houses
00:25:56internal posts supporting
00:25:58the roof were discovered
00:25:59The floors were probably
00:26:00made from a mixture
00:26:01of sand and clay
00:26:02a material known as
00:26:03loam
00:26:04which is still used today
00:26:06The location was chosen
00:26:07strategically
00:26:08It was situated
00:26:09on a hill
00:26:10which provided protection
00:26:11from flooding
00:26:12and a good view
00:26:12of the surrounding area
00:26:14Around the underground
00:26:15stone structure
00:26:16archaeologists also
00:26:17discovered about
00:26:181,000 artifacts
00:26:19including flint tools
00:26:21clay shards
00:26:22and fossilized sea urchins
00:26:24Researchers suggest
00:26:26that the underground
00:26:26structure served
00:26:27as a storage facility
00:26:29for food
00:26:29thanks to its stable
00:26:30temperature
00:26:31It could have been
00:26:32one of the oldest
00:26:33sellers in Europe
00:26:34used like a refrigerator
00:26:36to preserve food supplies
00:26:37If further research
00:26:39confirms this
00:26:40the discovery
00:26:40will become important
00:26:42evidence of a
00:26:43technological leap
00:26:44in ancient Europe
00:26:45The sarcophagus
00:26:46of Lord Pakal
00:26:47Lord Pakal
00:26:48also known as
00:26:49Pakal the Great
00:26:50was the ruler of the city
00:26:51of Palenque
00:26:52in the Maya civilization
00:26:53He ruled from
00:26:54615 to 683 AD
00:26:57and is known
00:26:58for his significant
00:26:59contributions to the
00:27:00development of the city
00:27:01and its culture
00:27:02Pakal the Great
00:27:03left behind many
00:27:04architectural achievements
00:27:05including the temple
00:27:06of the inscriptions
00:27:07where his sarcophagus
00:27:08was discovered
00:27:09The lid of Lord Pakal's
00:27:11sarcophagus
00:27:11is decorated with
00:27:12intricate images
00:27:13that have sparked
00:27:13many interpretations
00:27:14and debates
00:27:15It depicts Pakal sitting
00:27:17in an unusual pose
00:27:18surrounded by symbols
00:27:19and hieroglyphs
00:27:20His position
00:27:21and surroundings
00:27:22have led to
00:27:23various interpretations
00:27:24including theories
00:27:25about contact
00:27:26with extraterrestrial civilizations
00:27:27Erich von Daniken
00:27:29a proponent
00:27:30of the ancient astronaut theory
00:27:31interprets the image
00:27:32on the sarcophagus lid
00:27:34as evidence
00:27:34of contact
00:27:35between the Maya
00:27:35and extraterrestrials
00:27:37He claims that
00:27:38Pakal is depicted
00:27:39in the position
00:27:40of a spaceship pilot
00:27:41with his hands
00:27:42feet and back
00:27:43supposedly controlling
00:27:44some kind of device
00:27:45According to Daniken
00:27:46this suggests
00:27:47that Pakal
00:27:48might have been connected
00:27:49to extraterrestrial technology
00:27:50Archaeologists
00:27:52and historians
00:27:52suggest alternative explanations
00:27:54they believe
00:27:55that the image
00:27:56on the sarcophagus
00:27:57symbolizes Pakal's journey
00:27:58to the afterlife
00:27:59and his connection
00:28:00with the Maya deities
00:28:01According to them
00:28:02Pakal's pose
00:28:03represents him
00:28:04as a mediator
00:28:05between the earthly world
00:28:06and the spirit world
00:28:07not as a pilot
00:28:08of a spaceship
00:28:09Could Lord Pakal
00:28:10really have been an alien?
00:28:12This hypothesis
00:28:13remains highly controversial
00:28:14and lacks scientific evidence
00:28:15Despite the interesting
00:28:17interpretations
00:28:18proposed by Daniken
00:28:19most scientists
00:28:20tend to consider
00:28:21these theories
00:28:22as fantastical
00:28:23and not based
00:28:24on real data
00:28:25Other artifacts
00:28:26found in Palenque
00:28:27and in Maya cities
00:28:28support traditional
00:28:29interpretations
00:28:29For example
00:28:31numerous inscriptions
00:28:32and images
00:28:33show scenes
00:28:33from the life of the Maya
00:28:34their religious rituals
00:28:36and mythological beliefs
00:28:37These findings confirm
00:28:39that Pakal
00:28:40and his sarcophagus
00:28:41were part of the cultural
00:28:42and religious context
00:28:43of the Maya
00:28:44not evidence
00:28:45of extraterrestrial contacts
00:28:46The image of a car
00:28:48on an ancient temple
00:28:49the Sigaramadu temple
00:28:51also known as
00:28:53Pura Delem Jagaraga
00:28:54is located
00:28:55in the north of Bali
00:28:56It is 11 km east
00:28:58of the city of Singaraja
00:29:00The temple is located
00:29:02in the village of Jagaraga
00:29:03which is known
00:29:04for the tragic event
00:29:05of 1849
00:29:06when during the Dutch colonization
00:29:08a mass ritual suicide
00:29:09of local residents
00:29:10took place here
00:29:12Originally
00:29:13the temple was built
00:29:14in the 12th century
00:29:15during the reign
00:29:16of King Raj Shri Adji Jagaraga
00:29:17but it was later destroyed
00:29:19during the Dutch invasion
00:29:20The restoration of the temple
00:29:22began in 1865
00:29:23and its current appearance
00:29:25has mostly remained unchanged
00:29:26since then
00:29:27The temple complex
00:29:28includes two temples
00:29:29Pura Delem
00:29:30dedicated to Shiva
00:29:31and Pura Pradzapad
00:29:33dedicated to Durga
00:29:34which reflects
00:29:35their mythological roles
00:29:36as spouses in Hinduism
00:29:38The walls of the temple
00:29:39are decorated
00:29:40with carvings
00:29:41depicting leaves
00:29:42flowers
00:29:42Nagas
00:29:43serpent-like creatures
00:29:44and human figures
00:29:46Pura Delem Sigaramadu
00:29:47is associated
00:29:48with rituals of death
00:29:49and destruction
00:29:49as it is dedicated
00:29:51to Shiva
00:29:51In the central courtyard
00:29:53there are the carved
00:29:54Paduraksa gates
00:29:55decorated with the head
00:29:56of the mythical creature
00:29:57Boma
00:29:57as well as pavilions
00:29:58for preparing offerings
00:30:00and conducting rituals
00:30:01This temple is unique
00:30:03in that its walls
00:30:04feature scenes
00:30:04from the western world
00:30:05such as a plane falling
00:30:07into the sea
00:30:07a ship attacked
00:30:08by a sea monster
00:30:09and an old car
00:30:12These images appeared
00:30:13because Singaraja
00:30:14was the main seaport
00:30:15of Bali
00:30:16in the 19th and 20th centuries
00:30:18through which
00:30:18contact with European
00:30:19civilization took place
00:30:23They took their weapons
00:30:24to the grave
00:30:25During the excavation
00:30:26of an ancient burial site
00:30:27in Ostrovius County, Poland
00:30:29archaeologists discovered
00:30:31two graves
00:30:31that likely belonged
00:30:32to Vandal warriors
00:30:34The cemetery
00:30:35located near the town
00:30:36of Glinka
00:30:37dates back to the 3rd
00:30:384th centuries AD
00:30:39and is part of a larger
00:30:41site associated
00:30:42with the Psebor
00:30:42sculpture
00:30:44a group that flourished
00:30:46in central and southern
00:30:47Poland during the
00:30:47Iron Age
00:30:48The team excavated
00:30:50pit graves
00:30:50containing cremated
00:30:51remains and evidence
00:30:52of burial hearths
00:30:53These graves are believed
00:30:55to be associated
00:30:56with the Vandals
00:30:57a Germanic tribe
00:30:59that once inhabited
00:31:00part of what is now
00:31:01southern Poland
00:31:01known for their conflict
00:31:03with the Roman Empire
00:31:04The Vandals eventually
00:31:05established a kingdom
00:31:06that encompassed
00:31:07part of North Africa
00:31:09and several
00:31:09Mediterranean islands
00:31:10in 455 AD
00:31:13under the leadership
00:31:14of King Geyseric
00:31:15they carried out
00:31:16the famous sack
00:31:17of Rome
00:31:17hastening the fall
00:31:18of the Roman Empire
00:31:19Alongside the remains
00:31:21archaeologists
00:31:22found weapons
00:31:22and burial items
00:31:23indicating high-ranking
00:31:25warriors
00:31:25including swords
00:31:26fragments of shields
00:31:28iron spearheads
00:31:29and pieces
00:31:29of fired clay vessels
00:31:31Traces of burning
00:31:32on these items
00:31:33indicate that they
00:31:34were burned
00:31:35on a pyre
00:31:36along with the bodies
00:31:37as part of the
00:31:38burial ritual
00:31:39interestingly
00:31:40both swords
00:31:41found in the graves
00:31:42were bent
00:31:42which is a common
00:31:43practice in the
00:31:44Przewors culture
00:31:45this could symbolize
00:31:46that the warriors
00:31:47were taking their
00:31:48weapons with them
00:31:48to the afterlife
00:31:49or
00:31:51perhaps
00:31:52the swords
00:31:53were deformed
00:31:54to make the weapons
00:31:55unusable
00:31:55and thus deter
00:31:56potential grave robbers
00:32:01a medieval smartphone app
00:32:03did you know
00:32:04that the predecessor
00:32:05of modern smartphone apps
00:32:06was invented
00:32:07in the middle ages
00:32:09it was the volvelle
00:32:10an interactive device
00:32:12made of paper
00:32:12that performed
00:32:13many functions
00:32:14from calculating
00:32:15the positions
00:32:15of celestial bodies
00:32:17to medical diagnostics
00:32:18and sea navigation
00:32:19the volvelle consisted
00:32:20of one or more
00:32:21rotating paper discs
00:32:22with data on them
00:32:23which the user
00:32:24could align
00:32:25to perform calculations
00:32:26or find answers
00:32:27this invention
00:32:28was similar
00:32:29to the astrolabe
00:32:30an ancient instrument
00:32:31for observing
00:32:32the positions
00:32:33of stars
00:32:34the first volvelles
00:32:35were created
00:32:35by Ramon Lull
00:32:36from Mallorca
00:32:37a great philosopher
00:32:38and scientist
00:32:39of the 13th
00:32:40and 14th centuries
00:32:41Lull called them volvelles
00:32:43from the latin word
00:32:44valver
00:32:44meaning to rotate
00:32:46he used this object
00:32:47to resolve religious disputes
00:32:49combining different elements
00:32:50of thought
00:32:51and language
00:32:51with the help
00:32:52of complex geometric figures
00:32:53volvelles
00:32:54were also used to determine
00:32:56the time at night
00:32:57which was important
00:32:58for administering medicine
00:32:59correctly
00:32:59in the middle ages
00:33:01volvelles
00:33:01were often associated
00:33:03with magic and fortune telling
00:33:04but over time
00:33:05they became a valuable tool
00:33:07for accumulating
00:33:08and generating knowledge
00:33:09today volvelles
00:33:10can be found
00:33:11for educational purposes
00:33:12demonstrating
00:33:13the historical roots
00:33:14of calculation
00:33:15and visualization

00:33:17a prison
00:33:18born of nature
00:33:19and man
00:33:19in the small mining town
00:33:21of Kifton
00:33:22in the state of Resonno
00:33:24a unique prison
00:33:25was built in 1881
00:33:27which was called impregnable
00:33:29the town faced a problem
00:33:31convicted criminals
00:33:32were sentenced
00:33:32not to imprisonment
00:33:34but to work in the copper mines
00:33:35but many of them
00:33:36simply escaped
00:33:37without serving their term
00:33:38to prevent this
00:33:39the local authorities
00:33:40decided to create a prison
00:33:41from which it would be
00:33:42impossible to escape
00:33:43the prison was built
00:33:44directly into a granite cliff
00:33:46for its construction
00:33:47they hired a stonemason
00:33:48named Margarita Varela
00:33:50who
00:33:50using a pickaxe and explosives
00:33:52carved out a section
00:33:53in the cliff
00:33:53leading to the cave
00:33:54the cave was divided
00:33:55into two chambers
00:33:56one was for
00:33:58especially dangerous criminals
00:33:59and the other
00:34:00was for those
00:34:00who had committed
00:34:01less serious crimes
00:34:02the chamber had a window
00:34:04for air access
00:34:04but they were located
00:34:06high up
00:34:06at a height of 3 meters
00:34:08Varela installed
00:34:09heavy iron bars
00:34:10at the entrance
00:34:10making the prison
00:34:11truly impregnable
00:34:13ironically
00:34:14the first prisoner
00:34:14of this jail
00:34:15was its own builder
00:34:16after finishing the work
00:34:17Varela went to a local bar
00:34:19to celebrate
00:34:19but he got very drunk
00:34:21and started shooting
00:34:22into the air
00:34:23the bartender
00:34:24who was also
00:34:25the deputy sheriff
00:34:25arrested him
00:34:26for disorderly conduct
00:34:27and Varela ended up
00:34:29in the jail
00:34:30he had built himself
00:34:30the jail operated
00:34:32until 1906
00:34:33when a severe flood
00:34:35forced the evacuation
00:34:36of the prisoners
00:34:38the jail was later abandoned
00:34:40but in 1929
00:34:41it was restored
00:34:42and in 1962
00:34:43it was designated
00:34:44as a historical monument
00:34:47in 1990
00:34:48the jail was added
00:34:49to the National Register
00:34:50of Historic Places
00:34:51in the United States
00:34:53an ancient depiction
00:34:55of psychoactive mushrooms

00:34:59located in the
00:35:00southeastern part
00:35:01of Algeria
00:35:02are a true treasure trove
00:35:03of prehistoric art
00:35:05this site is known
00:35:06for its rich rock paintings
00:35:07that span thousands of years
00:35:10particular attention
00:35:11is drawn to the painting
00:35:12created about 9,000 years ago
00:35:14depicting a shaman
00:35:15with psychedelic mushrooms
00:35:16this unique artifact
00:35:18opens a window
00:35:19into the spiritual
00:35:20and cultural practices
00:35:21of ancient hunter-gatherers
00:35:23this painting
00:35:24was first documented
00:35:25by the French archaeologist
00:35:27Henri Lathem
00:35:27and his team
00:35:28in the 1950s
00:35:30they were amazed
00:35:31by the brightness
00:35:32and complexity
00:35:32of the images
00:35:34including a striking figure
00:35:35of a shaman
00:35:36with psilocybin mushrooms
00:35:38known for their
00:35:39psychoactive properties
00:35:40the shaman
00:35:41is depicted
00:35:41with a richly decorated

00:35:47clearly demonstrate
00:35:48a state of trance
00:35:49psychedelic mushrooms
00:35:51played an important role
00:35:52in shamanic rituals
00:35:53as confirmed
00:35:54by numerous examples
00:35:55from various cultures
00:35:56in ancient societies
00:35:58shamans used mushrooms
00:35:59to achieve altered
00:36:00states of consciousness
00:36:01and communicate
00:36:03with the spirit world
00:36:04the paintings
00:36:05in the Tassili cave
00:36:06indicate that
00:36:06such practices
00:36:07also existed in North Africa
00:36:09the image of a shaman
00:36:10surrounded by mushrooms

00:36:15emphasize the high status
00:36:17of the shaman in society
00:36:18while the mushrooms
00:36:19highlight their sacred
00:36:20role in rituals
00:36:21the trance state
00:36:22indicates the shaman's
00:36:23journey beyond
00:36:24the physical world
00:36:25which was an important
00:36:26part of their

00:36:36Dublin
00:36:37together with their
00:36:38Serbian and Slovenian
00:36:39colleagues
00:36:39made a significant discovery
00:36:41they discovered
00:36:42numerous previously
00:36:43unknown bronze age
00:36:44settlements
00:36:44in the southern part
00:36:46of the Carpathian Basin
00:36:47near Serbia
00:36:48analysis of satellite images
00:36:50and aerial photography
00:36:51made it possible
00:36:52to reconstruct the ancient
00:36:53landscape
00:36:53and discover a network
00:36:55of megaforts
00:36:56huge prehistoric structures
00:36:58these megaforts
00:36:59previously known
00:37:00from examples
00:37:01such as Gredishta

00:37:04Santana
00:37:04Karneshte
00:37:05and Arkuri
00:37:06were once considered
00:37:07isolated
00:37:08however new research
00:37:09has shown that they
00:37:10actually form a complex
00:37:11network
00:37:12at the height of their
00:37:13development
00:37:14tens of thousands of
00:37:15people could have lived
00:37:16here
00:37:16these sites located along
00:37:18the Tisa river
00:37:18were discovered in an
00:37:20area where almost all
00:37:21settlements are within
00:37:22five kilometers of each
00:37:23other
00:37:23scientists believe that
00:37:25local communities
00:37:26interacted peacefully
00:37:27with each other
00:37:28and were important
00:37:29centers in Europe
00:37:29during the era of
00:37:30the Mycenaeans

00:37:36Lviv archaeologists
00:37:38discovered
00:37:38valuable finds
00:37:39near Viniki
00:37:40dating back to the
00:37:41Neolithic era
00:37:42it turned out that
00:37:43people lived at this site
00:37:44about five and a half
00:37:45thousand years ago
00:37:46excavations were carried
00:37:47out at an ancient
00:37:48fortified settlement
00:37:49on the Lesif Kamen hill
00:37:50far from the city
00:37:51of Viniki
00:37:52representatives of
00:37:53the funnel beaker
00:37:54culture lived here
00:37:55to study the settlement
00:37:57scientists carried out
00:37:58excavations
00:37:58covering a total
00:37:59area of 140 square meters
00:38:01they discovered
00:38:02the clay pit
00:38:03a place where clay
00:38:04was extracted from
00:38:05making pottery
00:38:05and building houses
00:38:07usually such clay
00:38:08pits were located
00:38:09on the outskirts
00:38:10of settlements
00:38:11but here the pit
00:38:12was found in the center
00:38:13which changes the
00:38:14traditional idea
00:38:15of the layout
00:38:16the pit was also
00:38:17used as a dump
00:38:18where archaeologists
00:38:19found many fragments
00:38:20of pottery
00:38:20animal bones
00:38:21and tools
00:38:23another interesting find
00:38:24is an egg-shaped
00:38:25clay device
00:38:26with two clay balls
00:38:27inside
00:38:27the egg was considered
00:38:29a symbol of life
00:38:29in all cultures
00:38:30and it could have been
00:38:32used for ritual purposes
00:38:33to ward off evil spirits
00:38:35or to entertain children
00:38:36in fact
00:38:37this is a prototype
00:38:38of a musical instrument
00:38:39that produced sounds
00:38:40of a certain pitch
00:38:42a grim story
00:38:43of the ancient columns
00:38:44lies within them
00:38:45Sweden is a harsh country
00:38:47and even against its
00:38:49backdrop
00:38:49there are especially
00:38:50mesmerizing
00:38:51and gloomy places
00:38:52one of them
00:38:53is a trio
00:38:54of stone pillars
00:38:55on Gallo Hill
00:38:55in the nature reserve
00:38:57north of Visby
00:38:58this place claims
00:39:00to be the only surviving
00:39:01medieval execution site
00:39:02in Europe
00:39:04Veselesa Galberget
00:39:06located on top
00:39:07of a small hill
00:39:07in the municipality
00:39:08of Visby
00:39:09is a creepy
00:39:10but historically
00:39:11important place
00:39:12one of the few
00:39:13that have survived
00:39:14since the middle ages
00:39:15built in the 13th century
00:39:17it was used
00:39:18for executing
00:39:19local criminals
00:39:20tall stone pillars
00:39:22surrounded by
00:39:23a high stone wall
00:39:24supported wooden beams
00:39:25on which the condemned
00:39:26were hung with ropes
00:39:27or hooks
00:39:29Veselitsa was visible
00:39:30from the sea
00:39:31serving as a warning
00:39:32of the harsh consequences
00:39:33awaiting criminals
00:39:34during archaeological
00:39:35excavations
00:39:36near Veselitsa
00:39:37the bodies
00:39:38of about 300 people
00:39:39were discovered
00:39:40all of them
00:39:40had been executed
00:39:41some of the bodies
00:39:43were found
00:39:43in wooden coffins
00:39:44which was a luxury
00:39:46and indicated
00:39:47that these people
00:39:47belonged to the upper class
00:39:49this shows that
00:39:50not only robbers
00:39:51and the poor
00:39:52were executed here
00:39:53but also members
00:39:55of the elite
00:39:55an untouched
00:39:57Mayan burial
00:39:58in the mysterious cave
00:40:00in Tulum
00:40:00located in the Mexican state
00:40:02of Quintana Roo
00:40:03archaeologists
00:40:04discovered
00:40:04an untouched Mayan burial
00:40:06the discovery
00:40:07was made
00:40:07while building a path
00:40:08between two ancient temples
00:40:10the researchers
00:40:11unexpectedly stumbled
00:40:12upon a cave
00:40:13where human remains
00:40:14were found
00:40:14beneath a massive rock
00:40:16the unusual burial situation
00:40:17raised many questions
00:40:18some skeletons
00:40:20were separated
00:40:20by the rock
00:40:21as if a person
00:40:22had tried to reach
00:40:23a hidden chamber
00:40:24but got trapped
00:40:24eight burials
00:40:25were found in the cave
00:40:26which was only
00:40:27half a meter high
00:40:28the dry environment
00:40:29helped preserve
00:40:30the remains
00:40:31in their original state
00:40:32two small chambers
00:40:33with animal remains
00:40:34were discovered
00:40:35in the cave
00:40:36and some of the bones
00:40:37had been worked
00:40:38into artifacts
00:40:39the finds date
00:40:40back to the late
00:40:40post-classic period
00:40:41the challenging excavation
00:40:43conditions
00:40:43do not stop the archaeologists
00:40:45who are planning to conduct
00:40:46a three-dimensional scan
00:40:47of the area
00:40:49gilmerton cave
00:40:50gilmerton cave
00:40:52in scotland
00:40:53once considered
00:40:53one of the oldest sites
00:40:54in the country
00:40:55has recently become
00:40:57the subject of scientific debate
00:40:58located in the suburb
00:41:00of gilmerton edinburgh
00:41:01the cave was open
00:41:03to the public
00:41:03only 20 years ago
00:41:04but its true origins
00:41:06still raise questions
00:41:07the cave
00:41:08consisting of two corridors
00:41:09and eight rooms
00:41:10is entirely hand carved
00:41:11into sandstone
00:41:12it was once believed
00:41:13to have served
00:41:14as a druid temple
00:41:15and was sealed
00:41:16by them
00:41:16to preserve the sanctity
00:41:17of the place
00:41:18however
00:41:19new evidence
00:41:20casts doubt
00:41:21on this version
00:41:22some researchers suggest
00:41:24that the cave
00:41:24might have been used
00:41:25as a secluded pub
00:41:26although the presence
00:41:27of several such establishments
00:41:29in a small village
00:41:29makes this theory unlikely
00:41:31the difficulty of working
00:41:33with the sandstone
00:41:33in the cave
00:41:34as well as the presence
00:41:36of curved horn-shaped tables
00:41:37indicates a period
00:41:39before the beginning
00:41:39of the peasant era
00:41:40therefore the construction
00:41:42of the cave
00:41:42is tentatively dated
00:41:43to a period
00:41:44from 500 BC
00:41:45to 500 AD
00:41:46a time when druids
00:41:47might have lived
00:41:48in the region
00:41:49research on the cave
00:41:50continues
00:41:51and the hidden part
00:41:52of the bay
00:41:52that was discovered
00:41:53may reveal even more secrets
00:41:55in the future
00:41:56scientists do not rule out
00:41:57that in the future
00:41:58the gilmerton cave
00:41:59may be recognized
00:42:00as a uniquely preserved
00:42:02sanctuary
00:42:02of ancient culture
00:42:03despite the numerous
00:42:05mysteries
00:42:05and the lack of concrete
00:42:06evidence
00:42:07about its original purpose
00:42:08the ancient pharaoh
00:42:10was a mutant
00:42:12scientists claim
00:42:13that the ancient Egyptian
00:42:14pharaoh
00:42:14echinetan
00:42:15could have been a hybrid
00:42:16of a human
00:42:17and an alien
00:42:18Stuart Fleischmann
00:42:19an associate professor
00:42:20at the department
00:42:21of comparative genomics
00:42:22at the Swiss University
00:42:23in Cairo
00:42:24and his team conducted
00:42:25seven years of DNA research
00:42:27on nine ancient
00:42:28Egyptian pharaohs
00:42:29their results
00:42:30could overturn
00:42:30our understanding
00:42:31of ancient history
00:42:33they used the polymerase
00:42:34chain reaction method
00:42:35for analysis
00:42:35to obtain an accurate
00:42:36genetic profile
00:42:37of the pharaohs
00:42:38nothing unusual
00:42:39was found in eight
00:42:40of the DNA samples
00:42:42but the DNA
00:42:43of Akhenaten
00:42:43who lived in the 14th century BC
00:42:46showed significant anomalies
00:42:48one of the genes
00:42:50CXPAC5
00:42:51which is responsible
00:42:52for the growth
00:42:53of the cerebral cortex
00:42:54was especially active
00:42:55in Akhenaten
00:42:56this may explain
00:42:57his enlarged skull
00:42:58a characteristic feature
00:43:00depicted
00:43:00in ancient Egyptian statues
00:43:02the increased activity
00:43:04of these genes
00:43:04suggests that Akhenaten
00:43:05had a more developed brain
00:43:07scientists cannot explain
00:43:08how such a mutation
00:43:09occurred
00:43:10since similar changes
00:43:11in the human brain
00:43:12are unknown to science
00:43:13this leads to the idea
00:43:15that ancient Egyptians
00:43:16might have been subjected
00:43:17to genetic manipulation
00:43:19by extraterrestrial beings
00:43:21additional data
00:43:22such as the analysis
00:43:24of Akhenaten's bone tissue
00:43:25also shows
00:43:26its unusual density
00:43:27this may indicate
00:43:29enhanced brain development
00:43:30Fleischmann claims
00:43:32that the results
00:43:32were thoroughly verified
00:43:33and may serve
00:43:34as evidence
00:43:35that ancient Egyptians
00:43:36might have had contact
00:43:37with extraterrestrial
00:43:39civilizations
00:43:39the mysteries of the underground
00:43:42world of Agartha
00:43:43the legend
00:43:44of the underground world
00:43:45of Agartha
00:43:46has always attracted
00:43:48the attention of those
00:43:49who sought hidden knowledge
00:43:50and secret civilizations
00:43:52the Nazis showed
00:43:53great interest
00:43:54in the myth of Agartha
00:43:55a supposed state
00:43:57deep underground
00:43:57inhabited by an advanced civilization
00:44:00possessing mystical knowledge
00:44:02and advanced technologies
00:44:03it was believed
00:44:04that the inhabitants of Agartha
00:44:06might possess the secrets
00:44:07of immortality
00:44:08energy
00:44:08and world control
00:44:10which interested
00:44:11the Nazi elite
00:44:12some Nazi ideologists
00:44:13saw Agartha
00:44:14not only as a source
00:44:15of ancient knowledge
00:44:16but also
00:44:17possibly
00:44:17as a refuge for the elite
00:44:19of the Third Reich
00:44:20in case of defeat
00:44:21on the surface
00:44:21according to the theory
00:44:23this underground world
00:44:24could provide a secure shelter
00:44:25and create conditions
00:44:26for the revival
00:44:27of Nazi power
00:44:28legends claimed
00:44:29that the entrance to Agartha
00:44:30is hidden somewhere
00:44:31in the Himalayas
00:44:32or other hard to reach regions
00:44:34of the earth
00:44:34researchers from Anenerbe
00:44:36fascinated by the search
00:44:38for Aryan roots
00:44:39and ancient civilizations
00:44:40organized expeditions
00:44:42to different parts
00:44:43of the world
00:44:43including Tibet
00:44:44and Antarctica
00:44:45in search of the entrance
00:44:46to the underground world
00:44:48despite the lack
00:44:49of concrete evidence
00:44:50for the existence
00:44:50of Agartha
00:44:51the Nazis continued
00:44:52to fund these projects
00:44:54hoping to gain access
00:44:55to mystical knowledge
00:44:56which could change
00:44:57the course of the war
00:44:58and strengthen their influence
00:45:02Ancient Jewish Curses
00:45:04on Mount Ebal in Israel
00:45:06archaeologist Adam Zertal
00:45:08discovered a lead tablet
00:45:09dating back
00:45:10to the mid-13th century BC
00:45:13recently
00:45:13an international team
00:45:15of scientists
00:45:16including Czech specialists
00:45:18uncovered the secret
00:45:19of this tablet
00:45:20using X-ray tomography
00:45:21Daniel Varnel Bavrik
00:45:23a participant in the study
00:45:24said that the text
00:45:25was written on a lead sheet
00:45:27which was then folded
00:45:28to hide its contents
00:45:29the size of the tablet
00:45:30is extremely small
00:45:31only 2 cm in length
00:45:33and width
00:45:34previously
00:45:35similar finds
00:45:36were opened mechanically
00:45:37but this led
00:45:38to their damage
00:45:39the new method
00:45:40made it possible
00:45:40to decipher the text
00:45:42without harming the artifact
00:45:43researchers determined
00:45:45that the hidden text
00:45:46is written in Proto-Hebrew
00:45:47and dates back
00:45:48to between 1400 and 1200
00:45:50years BC
00:45:51which would make it
00:45:52the oldest known text
00:45:54in this language
00:45:55the text contained
00:45:56ancient Curses
00:45:57one of them said
00:45:59you are cursed
00:46:00by Yahweh
00:46:01this discovery
00:46:02is of great value
00:46:03for history and archaeology
00:46:05proving the deep roots
00:46:06of written culture
00:46:07in this region
00:46:09monumental settlement
00:46:11in Croatia
00:46:12in the Croatian village
00:46:13of Storbić
00:46:14near Split
00:46:15archaeologists
00:46:16discovered the remains
00:46:18of a settlement
00:46:18that is about
00:46:203500 years old
00:46:21one of the key discoveries
00:46:23was an ancient Greek
00:46:25defensive wall
00:46:25more than 70 meters long
00:46:27which makes it
00:46:28one of the best preserved
00:46:30Greek structures
00:46:30in Croatia
00:46:32Storbić
00:46:33is located
00:46:33along the picturesque
00:46:34coast of Croatia
00:46:35and the excavations
00:46:36were carried out
00:46:37on a site intended
00:46:38for construction
00:46:40archaeologist
00:46:40Marina Ugarkovic
00:46:41from the Institute of Archeology
00:46:43emphasized
00:46:43that the wall
00:46:44reaches a depth
00:46:45of more than 3 meters
00:46:46in some places
00:46:47which makes it
00:46:48truly monumental
00:46:49this discovery
00:46:50is comparable
00:46:51to ancient archaeological finds
00:46:53around the world
00:46:53during the excavations
00:46:55other structures
00:46:56of the Ephesian settlement
00:46:57were also studied
00:46:58belonging to different
00:47:00historical periods
00:47:01from prehistoric times
00:47:02to antiquity
00:47:03and the early middle ages
00:47:04the earliest finds
00:47:06discovered
00:47:07at the site date
00:47:08back to the middle bronze age
00:47:10indicating that
00:47:11the settlement existed
00:47:12long before
00:47:13the arrival
00:47:13of the Greeks
00:47:16Remote Viewing
00:47:17The Stargate project
00:47:19is a secret program
00:47:20launched by the CIA
00:47:21in the 1970s
00:47:22to study and apply
00:47:23the phenomenon
00:47:24of remote viewing
00:47:26also known as
00:47:27remote perception
00:47:28Remote viewing
00:47:30is the ability
00:47:30of a person
00:47:31to obtain information
00:47:32about distant
00:47:33or inaccessible objects
00:47:35places
00:47:36or events
00:47:37without using
00:47:37ordinary sensory means
00:47:39The Stargate project
00:47:40was created
00:47:41to explore the possibility
00:47:42of using this ability
00:47:43for intelligence purposes
00:47:45including the study
00:47:46of UFOs
00:47:47Within the project
00:47:49various methods
00:47:49were used
00:47:50such as hypnosis
00:47:51meditation
00:47:52and other techniques
00:47:53to put participants
00:47:54into an altered
00:47:55state of consciousness
00:47:56where they could
00:47:57receive information
00:47:58These methods
00:47:59were used
00:48:00to investigate UFOs
00:48:01and search for signs
00:48:02of extraterrestrial activity
00:48:04One of the key
00:48:05participants
00:48:05in the project
00:48:06was Pat Price
00:48:07a former police officer
00:48:09who had exceptional abilities
00:48:10in the field
00:48:11of remote viewing
00:48:12Pat Price made
00:48:13several important discoveries
00:48:15especially regarding objects
00:48:16under Mount Haze
00:48:17in Alaska
00:48:18He claimed
00:48:19that he saw
00:48:20an underground base there
00:48:21operated by aliens
00:48:22and described
00:48:23detailed structures
00:48:24and technologies
00:48:25that were supposedly
00:48:26located at that base
00:48:27These claims
00:48:28sparked great interest
00:48:29and controversy
00:48:30among researchers
00:48:31Some CIA documents
00:48:34contain references
00:48:34to such bases
00:48:35and confirm
00:48:36that Price provided information
00:48:37that was partially
00:48:38corroborated
00:48:39by other intelligence sources
00:48:40However
00:48:41no direct
00:48:42and unequivocal evidence
00:48:44of the existence
00:48:44of an alien base
00:48:46has been found
00:48:46and many aspects
00:48:48of these claims
00:48:49remain controversial
00:48:50Remote viewing
00:48:51and the information
00:48:52it provides
00:48:52are used for reconnaissance
00:48:54and UFO research
00:48:55allowing information
00:48:56to be obtained
00:48:57about locations
00:48:58that cannot be explored
00:48:59by traditional methods
00:49:00For example
00:49:01Remote viewers
00:49:02can describe
00:49:03the internal structures
00:49:04of spacecraft
00:49:04or bases
00:49:05that are inaccessible
00:49:06to physical observation
00:49:07The death
00:49:09of Pat Price
00:49:09in 1975
00:49:10under mysterious circumstances
00:49:12adds elements of danger
00:49:14to the work
00:49:14of remote viewers
00:49:16Price's death
00:49:17gave rise
00:49:18to numerous speculations
00:49:19and conspiracy theories
00:49:20suggesting
00:49:21that he might have
00:49:22been eliminated
00:49:22because of his knowledge
00:49:23and abilities
00:49:25Our world
00:49:26was created
00:49:26by artificial intelligence
00:49:28Our Professor
00:49:29Melvin Vobson
00:49:30from the University
00:49:31of Portsmouth
00:49:32has put forward
00:49:32the theory
00:49:33that we live
00:49:33in a computer simulation
00:49:36And evidence of this
00:49:36can be found
00:49:37in the Bible
00:49:38Vobson claims
00:49:39that the text
00:49:40of the Gospel of John
00:49:40supports this idea
00:49:42and hints
00:49:42that our reality
00:49:43was created
00:49:44by artificial intelligence
00:49:45The Gospel
00:49:46begins with the words
00:49:48In the beginning
00:49:49was the Word
00:49:50and the Word
00:49:50was with God
00:49:51and the Word
00:49:52was God
00:49:53Vobson believes
00:49:54that the Word
00:49:54is the code
00:49:55that controls the simulation
00:49:56According to him
00:49:58this code
00:49:58is the foundation
00:49:59of everything
00:49:59that exists
00:50:00In this concept
00:50:01God is not
00:50:02a separate entity
00:50:03but a part of the simulation
00:50:04possibly an advanced AI
00:50:06that controls our universe
00:50:08Another quote
00:50:09from the Gospel
00:50:09that Vobson refers
00:50:11to goes like this
00:50:12Everything came
00:50:13into being
00:50:13through him
00:50:14and without him
00:50:15nothing could exist
00:50:16that has come into being
00:50:17The scientist believes
00:50:19that this also supports
00:50:20his hypothesis
00:50:21that the world
00:50:22was created
00:50:22through the word code
00:50:23The act of creation
00:50:24can be seen
00:50:25as a programming process
00:50:26as a result of which
00:50:27a simulated universe
00:50:28was created
00:50:29The simulation theory
00:50:31can also explain
00:50:31how God was able
00:50:32to create the world
00:50:33in six days
00:50:34as described in the Bible
00:50:35If we imagine our world
00:50:37as a product
00:50:37of artificial intelligence
00:50:38then running
00:50:39the simulation
00:50:40can happen very quickly
00:50:41Thus
00:50:42Vobson believes
00:50:43that his theory
00:50:44does not contradict
00:50:45religious views
00:50:45but on the contrary
00:50:47gives them a modern explanation
00:50:49The scientist also points
00:50:50to the physical limitations
00:50:52that exist in our reality
00:50:53as possible signs
00:50:54of a simulation
00:50:55For example
00:50:56The limitations
00:50:57on the speed of light
00:50:58and sound
00:50:59may be the result
00:50:59of a processor
00:51:00that controls the simulation
00:51:01The laws of physics
00:51:03that govern the universe
00:51:04resemble complex algorithms
00:51:06and elementary particles
00:51:07can be compared
00:51:08to pixels on a screen
00:51:09Another piece
00:51:10of evidence
00:51:10according to Vobson
00:51:11is the symmetry
00:51:12present in nature
00:51:13the patterns of snowflakes
00:51:15butterflies
00:51:15and other objects
00:51:17He believes
00:51:18that this could be
00:51:18a way of conserving resources
00:51:20used in the simulation
00:51:21to create the world
00:51:22The simulation theory
00:51:24is supported
00:51:24not only by Vobson
00:51:25but also by other
00:51:27well-known figures
00:51:27Elon Musk
00:51:28for example
00:51:29claims that
00:51:29the probability
00:51:30that we are living
00:51:31in base reality
00:51:32is extremely small
00:51:33almost one in billions
00:51:35He argues
00:51:36that our reality
00:51:36is most likely
00:51:37one of many simulations
00:51:38created by a more advanced civilization
00:51:40Thus
00:51:42the simulation theory
00:51:43offers a new perspective
00:51:44on the nature
00:51:45of the universe
00:51:46and humanity's place in it
00:51:48a lost fragment
00:51:49of the Bible translation
00:51:52Austrian scientists
00:51:53made a remarkable discovery
00:51:54in the Vatican Library
00:51:56a new chapter
00:51:57from a translation
00:51:57of the Gospel of Matthew
00:51:59dated to the year 1750
00:52:01The text
00:52:02invisible to the naked eye
00:52:04was discovered
00:52:05thanks to the use
00:52:06of ultraviolet photography
00:52:07This discovery
00:52:09became part
00:52:09of a research project
00:52:10aimed at restoring
00:52:11texts that were erased
00:52:12or rewritten
00:52:13by scribes
00:52:14between the 4th
00:52:15and 12th centuries AD
00:52:17Manuscripts of this kind
00:52:18called palimpsests
00:52:19were created
00:52:20by reusing
00:52:21already used material
00:52:22This was due
00:52:23to the shortage
00:52:24of writing materials
00:52:25With the help
00:52:26of ultraviolet light
00:52:27it was possible
00:52:28to reveal the lost texts
00:52:29Among the 74 restored manuscripts
00:52:31there was one
00:52:32especially valuable
00:52:33ancient version
00:52:34of the Bible
00:52:35which is 100 years older
00:52:36than the earliest
00:52:37Greek translations
00:52:38including the Codex Sinaiticus
00:52:40The new text adds
00:52:41to the well-known verse
00:52:42about how Jesus' disciples
00:52:43plucked the ears of grain
00:52:45and adds
00:52:45that they rubbed them
00:52:46in their hands
00:52:47and ate them
00:52:47This discovery
00:52:48is an important contribution
00:52:49to the understanding
00:52:50of ancient Syriac texts
00:52:51and the study
00:52:52of ancient writing
00:52:53What did the ancestors
00:52:54of the Chinese look like?
00:52:56Archaeologists in China
00:52:57have reconstructed
00:52:58for the first time
00:52:59the faces of people
00:53:00who lived 5 to 7 thousand
00:53:01years ago
00:53:02during the Neolithic era
00:53:03in the Yellow River region
00:53:05These ancient people
00:53:06belonged to the
00:53:07Yangshau and Longshan cultures
00:53:08and their settlements
00:53:10were located
00:53:10on terraces
00:53:11along the river
00:53:12For centuries
00:53:13the Chinese have wondered
00:53:14what their ancestors
00:53:15looked like
00:53:16and now
00:53:17they have an answer
00:53:18During the fourth
00:53:19archeological expedition
00:53:20to the Yangshau settlement
00:53:21scientists analyzed
00:53:22the remains
00:53:23and reconstructed
00:53:24the appearance
00:53:24of two people
00:53:25one of them lived
00:53:26about 5,600 years ago
00:53:28and was a man
00:53:29around 40 years old
00:53:30the second
00:53:31was a 50 year old
00:53:32man from the Longshan era
00:53:33about 4,000 years ago
00:53:35a facial reconstruction
00:53:36was carried out
00:53:37using 3D scanning printing
00:53:39and analysis
00:53:40of ancient DNA
00:53:41These technologies
00:53:42made it possible
00:53:43to recreate facial features
00:53:44with up to 90% accuracy
00:53:46Yangshau is considered
00:53:47an important culture
00:53:48that had a significant influence
00:53:50on the development
00:53:50of Chinese civilization
00:53:52During the excavations
00:53:53various artifacts
00:53:54were found
00:53:55including pottery
00:53:56tools
00:53:57and even traces of alcohol
00:53:58An important discovery
00:54:00was the large
00:54:01residential buildings
00:54:02which allow
00:54:02for a deeper study
00:54:03of ancient architecture
00:54:05unveiling the mysteries
00:54:07of mass death
00:54:08During excavations
00:54:09in the ancient city
00:54:10of Aswan
00:54:11on the Nile
00:54:12archaeologists
00:54:13discovered
00:54:1330 tombs
00:54:14dating back
00:54:14to the Greco-Roman period
00:54:16These burials
00:54:17found on a hill
00:54:18contain mummies
00:54:19of children
00:54:19and parents
00:54:20coffins
00:54:21papier-mache
00:54:22masks
00:54:23amphorae decorated
00:54:23with grape leaf patterns
00:54:24and offering tables
00:54:26Ancient oil lamps
00:54:27left by mourners
00:54:28were also found
00:54:29The necropolis
00:54:30is unique
00:54:31for its terrace layout
00:54:32Ten levels
00:54:33of tombs
00:54:33are built
00:54:34one above the other
00:54:35into the hill
00:54:36which distinguishes it
00:54:37from the usual
00:54:38two or three level
00:54:39Egyptian burials
00:54:40This place was used
00:54:41for about 900 years
00:54:43from the 6th century BC
00:54:44to the 3rd century AD
00:54:46when Egypt was ruled
00:54:47by the Persians
00:54:48the Ptolemaic dynasty
00:54:49and the Romans
00:54:50studies have shown
00:54:51that between 30 and 40 mummies
00:54:53belong to newborns
00:54:54and children
00:54:54under 2 years old
00:54:55With the help of X-rays
00:54:57using computer tomography
00:54:59and DNA analysis
00:55:00archaeologists
00:55:01and doctors
00:55:01from the University Hospital
00:55:03in Aswan
00:55:03found that the main causes
00:55:05of death
00:55:05were anemia
00:55:06and infectious diseases
00:55:07even among wealthy people
00:55:09The study of the spine
00:55:10in the mummy
00:55:11confirmed the presence
00:55:12of tuberculosis
00:55:13which could wipe out
00:55:14entire communities
00:55:16UFOs in the USSR
00:55:17At the end of the USSR's existence
00:55:20and after its collapse
00:55:21UFOs became a frequent
00:55:23topic of discussion
00:55:24Residents regularly reported
00:55:26strange objects
00:55:27in the sky
00:55:27special programs
00:55:28were shown on television
00:55:30and urban myths
00:55:31circulated among people
00:55:33Some UFO sightings
00:55:34were connected
00:55:35to secret missile tests
00:55:36that the general public
00:55:37didn't know about
00:55:38In the 70s and 80s stories
00:55:40about UFOs spread
00:55:41throughout the USSR
00:55:42There were legends
00:55:44about a UFO crash
00:55:45in Yakutia
00:55:46in the 1970s
00:55:47an explosion
00:55:48of a UFO
00:55:49on the Kola Peninsula
00:55:50in 1981
00:55:51and a UFO
00:55:53being destroyed
00:55:54at a nuclear facility
00:55:55in Kazakhstan
00:55:56in 1983
00:55:57Another story tells
00:55:59of mushroom pickers
00:56:00who allegedly photographed
00:56:01the interior
00:56:01of a flying saucer
00:56:03and then they vanished
00:56:04without a trace
00:56:04There are even photographs
00:56:06supposedly proving
00:56:07a UFO crash
00:56:08in the USSR
00:56:08but upon closer inspection
00:56:11they raise doubts
00:56:12Soviet UFOs
00:56:13were more a manifestation
00:56:14of mass self-suggestion
00:56:16than evidence
00:56:16of extraterrestrial civilizations
00:56:18In the United States
00:56:20there were also cases
00:56:21when UFOs
00:56:21were caught on video
00:56:22including footage
00:56:23taken by the military
00:56:24For example
00:56:25in July 2019
00:56:26an unidentified object
00:56:28was spotted
00:56:28near the ship
00:56:29Amaka
00:56:29The Pentagon suggests
00:56:31that UFOs
00:56:32may have an extraterrestrial origin
00:56:34Even astronauts
00:56:35on the ISS
00:56:36have observed
00:56:37strange objects
00:56:37but often these
00:56:39turned out to be satellites
00:56:40In the US
00:56:41there is laser equipment
00:56:42capable of creating
00:56:43plasma images
00:56:44which are sometimes
00:56:45mistaken for UFOs
00:56:47but even taking
00:56:47all these explanations
00:56:48into account
00:56:49some cases
00:56:50still remain a mystery
00:56:51What do you think
00:56:52is really behind
00:56:53the UFO phenomenon?
00:56:54imagination
00:56:55technology
00:56:56or something else?
00:56:57The tomb
00:56:58of a royal scribe
00:56:59In Abu Abu Sir, Egypt
00:57:02Czech Egyptologists
00:57:03made an important discovery
00:57:05They found the tomb
00:57:06of a young royal scribe
00:57:07which is about 2,500 years old
00:57:10This find
00:57:11along with other
00:57:12archaeological discoveries
00:57:13in the region
00:57:14gives scientists
00:57:15a better understanding
00:57:16of the changes
00:57:17that took place in Egypt
00:57:18in the 5th and 6th centuries BC
00:57:20The tomb belonged
00:57:21to a man named
00:57:22Djihutim Khat
00:57:23who lived during the time
00:57:24of the Persian invasion
00:57:25of Egypt
00:57:26Only the underground shaft
00:57:27of the tomb
00:57:28has been preserved
00:57:29at the bottom of which
00:57:30at a depth of 14 meters
00:57:31there is a burial chamber
00:57:33built from limestone blocks
00:57:34Inside
00:57:35there is a stone sarcophagus
00:57:36with relief decorations
00:57:38hieroglyphs
00:57:39and images
00:57:39of ancient Egyptian gods
00:57:41According to Vladislav Baris
00:57:42from the Czech Institute
00:57:43of Egyptology
00:57:44the burial chamber
00:57:45is decorated in the traditional
00:57:46style of that time
00:57:47for important people
00:57:48although Djihutim Khat
00:57:49himself was only
00:57:50a mid-ranking official
00:57:51The inscriptions
00:57:52on the walls
00:57:53were meant
00:57:54to ease his journey
00:57:55to the afterlife
00:57:56and ensure eternal bliss
00:57:58They mainly contained
00:58:00religious texts
00:58:01the names of his parents
00:58:02and specific phrases
00:58:03including spells
00:58:04for protection against snakes
00:58:05however
00:58:06despite the magical texts
00:58:08Djihutim Khat's tomb
00:58:09was almost empty
00:58:10when it was opened
00:58:11as it had been looted
00:58:12around the 5th century AD
00:58:14The era when the tomb
00:58:15was built
00:58:16was a time of decline
00:58:17in civilization
00:58:18and social upheaval
00:58:19The study of the remains
00:58:21showed that Djihutim Khat
00:58:22died at about 25 years old
00:58:24and already had signs
00:58:25of severe osteoporosis
00:58:27and spinal wear
00:58:28possibly due
00:58:28to an underlying disease
00:58:31Lost History
00:58:33A long-awaited fragment
00:58:35of the famous
00:58:36Dead Sea Scrolls
00:58:37dating back 2700 years
00:58:39was recently found
00:58:40These scrolls
00:58:41are part of ancient manuscripts
00:58:44Discovered near the Dead Sea
00:58:46between 1946 and 1956
00:58:48including 972 documents
00:58:51in various ancient languages
00:58:53A third of them
00:58:54contain biblical texts
00:58:56while the rest
00:58:57are non-biblical
00:58:57relating to the second temple period
00:58:59Interestingly
00:59:00one of the three rare fragments
00:59:02dated to the first temple period
00:59:04which was thought to be lost
00:59:06was discovered in the United States
00:59:08in the state of Montana
00:59:09The owner of this ancient artifact
00:59:12said that his mother
00:59:13bought the papyrus
00:59:14as a souvenir in Jerusalem
00:59:15in 1965
00:59:17This fragment
00:59:18is of interest to scholars
00:59:20because it contains
00:59:21only four lines
00:59:22in ancient Hebrew
00:59:23beginning with the words
00:59:24To Ishmael sent
00:59:25researchers believe
00:59:26that it was an instruction
00:59:27for the recipient
00:59:28The name Ishmael
00:59:30in biblical history
00:59:31is associated
00:59:32with the firstborn
00:59:33of Abraham
00:59:34and his maidservant Hagar
00:59:35and it is quite popular
00:59:37After a detailed analysis
00:59:38experts confirm
00:59:40the authenticity
00:59:40of the scroll
00:59:41and its age
00:59:42Now this historical artifact
00:59:43is in Israel
00:59:44under the management
00:59:45of the antiquities authority
00:59:47However
00:59:47many similar scrolls
00:59:49are still hidden
00:59:49in private collections
00:59:50around the world
00:59:52We are pets
00:59:53on a huge farm
00:59:54Humanity may not be
00:59:56the only intelligent species
00:59:58in the universe
00:59:58but there is still
01:00:00no evidence
01:00:00of extraterrestrial life
01:00:02One of the arguments
01:00:04in favor of their
01:00:04possible existence
01:00:05is the Drake equation
01:00:06which suggests that
01:00:07there should be many
01:00:08extraterrestrial civilizations
01:00:10Recently
01:00:10a group of scientists
01:00:12modified this equation
01:00:13by including
01:00:14the number of discovered
01:00:15exoplanets
01:00:16and reducing
01:00:17the number of variables
01:00:18to two
01:00:18the number of habitable planets
01:00:20and the probability
01:00:21of intelligent life emerging
01:00:23The results showed
01:00:24that there could be
01:00:25billions of advanced worlds
01:00:26but the time frames
01:00:28of their existence
01:00:28were not taken into account
01:00:30Astronomers from
01:00:31Columbia University
01:00:32and the University of Sydney
01:00:33refined the equation
01:00:34concluding that
01:00:35either the universe
01:00:36must be full of life
01:00:37or it is extremely rare
01:00:38The Fermi Paradox
01:00:40highlights this mystery
01:00:41According to scientific data
01:00:43intelligent life
01:00:45should exist
01:00:45but we see
01:00:46no signs of it
01:00:47One of the hypotheses
01:00:48explaining this paradox
01:00:50is the zoo hypothesis
01:00:51proposed by radioastronomer
01:00:52John Ball
01:00:53He suggested that
01:00:54extraterrestrial civilizations
01:00:56exist
01:00:57but deliberately avoid
01:00:58contact with humanity
01:01:00observing us
01:01:01like exhibits in a zoo
01:01:02the zoo
01:01:03they may want earthlings
01:01:04to develop independently
01:01:05without external interference
01:01:07this approach
01:01:08is reminiscent
01:01:09of the situation
01:01:10with the Sentinelese
01:01:11a people on an island
01:01:12in the Indian Ocean
01:01:13who refused contact
01:01:15with the outside world
01:01:16and those around them
01:01:17respect their choice
01:01:18just like with the Sentinelese
01:01:20alien civilizations
01:01:21may deliberately
01:01:22avoid interfering
01:01:23with our progress
01:01:24observing our development
01:01:25from the sidelines
01:01:26Nevertheless
01:01:27the zoo hypothesis
01:01:28faces criticism
01:01:29some scientists believe
01:01:31that maintaining
01:01:32such a quarantine
01:01:33for millions of years
01:01:34is extremely difficult
01:01:36any lone civilization
01:01:37could break these rules
01:01:38and make contact
01:01:41others argue
01:01:42that the moral principles
01:01:43of aliens
01:01:44may not coincide
01:01:45with those of humans
01:01:46which makes the idea
01:01:47that they care about
01:01:48our development
01:01:48questionable
01:01:49the gold
01:01:50of Thalosa
01:01:52one of the most famous
01:01:53cursed objects
01:01:54in history
01:01:55is considered to be
01:01:56an ancient treasure
01:01:572,000 years ago
01:01:59the ancient French city
01:02:00of Toulouse
01:02:01known to the Romans
01:02:02as Talosa
01:02:02was home to the Gallic
01:02:04tribes of the Valks
01:02:05when the Gauls
01:02:06and the Talosians
01:02:07returned home
01:02:07after their campaign
01:02:08and raids in the eastern Mediterranean
01:02:10they found that the Romans
01:02:12greeted them
01:02:12enticed by the huge supplies
01:02:14of gold
01:02:14they had brought with them
01:02:15it is said that this loot
01:02:17was cursed
01:02:18and the Romans
01:02:18who took possession of the gold
01:02:20were never seen
01:02:21or heard from again
01:02:22the treasure
01:02:23according to rumors
01:02:24is still somewhere out there
01:02:25and many claim
01:02:26that it lies
01:02:27at the bottom of a lake
01:02:28in the south of France
01:02:29however
01:02:29treasure hunters
01:02:31fear the fate
01:02:31that might befall those
01:02:32who dare to attempt its recovery
01:02:34the
01:02:34Indian Titanic
01:02:37the merchant steamer
01:02:39SS Tilawa
01:02:40was sunk
01:02:41on November 20th
01:02:421942
01:02:43by a Japanese submarine
01:02:45in the Indian Ocean
01:02:46about 1,200 km
01:02:48from the Seychelles Islands
01:02:49there were 958 people
01:02:52on board the ship
01:02:52including 732 passengers
01:02:55the liner
01:02:56which departed from Mumbai
01:02:57to Durban
01:02:58was hit by two torpedoes
01:02:59and sank
01:03:00at a depth of more than 4,500 meters
01:03:02due to a shortage of lifeboats
01:03:04280 people died
01:03:06and the rest were rescued
01:03:08by British fleet ships
01:03:09SS Tilawa
01:03:10nicknamed
01:03:11the Indian Titanic
01:03:12was carrying a valuable cargo
01:03:14of 60 tons of silver
01:03:16intended for minting coins
01:03:17in the Union of South Africa
01:03:19the value of the silver
01:03:20is estimated at 40 million dollars
01:03:22and the fate of this cargo
01:03:24remained unknown
01:03:24for almost 75 years
01:03:26as a result of a deep sea mission
01:03:29the Argentum team
01:03:30successfully recovered
01:03:31nearly 2,391 silver bars
01:03:33stored in the hold
01:03:34the valuable metal
01:03:35was found in the ship's
01:03:36opium compartment
01:03:38however
01:03:39ownership of the cargo
01:03:40was disputed
01:03:41and the case reached
01:03:42the Supreme Court
01:03:43of the United Kingdom
01:03:44in 2023
01:03:45the court ruled
01:03:46that the silver
01:03:47worth 43 million dollars
01:03:49belongs to South Africa
01:03:51to this day
01:03:52two passengers
01:03:53from that ship
01:03:54are still alive
01:03:55Elvinjani
01:03:56and Tej Prakash Mengat
01:03:57every year
01:03:58they gather
01:03:59for a reunion
01:03:59in honor of the survivors
01:04:01Chicken Itza
01:04:02and its mysteries
01:04:03Chicken Itza
01:04:05was of great importance
01:04:06to the Maya civilization
01:04:07as a political
01:04:09economic
01:04:09and religious center
01:04:11this ancient city
01:04:12located on the northern
01:04:14Yucatan Peninsula
01:04:15was an important place
01:04:16for rituals
01:04:17and ceremonies
01:04:18related to the gods
01:04:19and astronomical events
01:04:20Eric von Däniken
01:04:21known for his theories
01:04:23about ancient aliens
01:04:24drew attention
01:04:25to the El Castillo pyramid
01:04:26the temple of Kukulkan
01:04:28in his research
01:04:29he suggested
01:04:30that the precision
01:04:31of the architectural
01:04:32and astronomical elements
01:04:33of the pyramid
01:04:34could indicate contact
01:04:35between the Maya
01:04:36and extraterrestrial civilizations
01:04:38Däniken noted
01:04:40that pyramids
01:04:40like El Castillo
01:04:41might have been built
01:04:42using technologies
01:04:43unknown to modern scientists
01:04:45the symbolic meaning
01:04:47of the light
01:04:47show on the steps
01:04:48of the El Castillo pyramid
01:04:49during the equinox
01:04:51is connected
01:04:52to the worship
01:04:52of the god Kukulkan
01:04:53on the days of the spring
01:04:55and autumn equinox
01:04:56sunlight creates
01:04:57the illusion
01:04:58of a serpent
01:04:59descending the steps
01:05:00of the pyramid
01:05:00this phenomenon
01:05:01was interpreted
01:05:02as the return of Kukulkan
01:05:04to earth
01:05:04which confirmed
01:05:05the importance
01:05:06of Mayan astronomical knowledge
01:05:07and their ability
01:05:08to design architecture
01:05:09in harmony
01:05:10with the movement
01:05:11of celestial bodies
01:05:12the Maya
01:05:13believed in the return
01:05:14of the god Kukulkan
01:05:15the feathered serpent
01:05:16who symbolized
01:05:17rebirth and renewal
01:05:18this belief was based
01:05:20on ancient myths
01:05:21and texts
01:05:21such as the Popol Vuh
01:05:23and the Maya Codices
01:05:24which described
01:05:25the cyclical nature
01:05:26of time
01:05:26and the return of the gods
01:05:27at certain moments
01:05:28in history
01:05:29Kukulkan was an important deity
01:05:31associated with wind
01:05:32water
01:05:32and fertility
01:05:33which made his cult
01:05:34especially significant
01:05:35for the agrarian Maya society
01:05:37modern archaeologists
01:05:39interpret these findings
01:05:40as evidence
01:05:41of the high level of development
01:05:43in astronomy
01:05:43and engineering
01:05:44among the Maya
01:05:45they believe
01:05:46that the pyramids
01:05:47and other structures
01:05:48of Chichen Itza
01:05:49were built
01:05:49with complex mathematical calculations
01:05:51and observations
01:05:52of the movements
01:05:53of celestial bodies
01:05:54in mind
01:05:56Recently
01:05:56a mysterious hermit
01:05:58said to be
01:05:59188 years old
01:06:01was found
01:06:01in one of the caves
01:06:02near Bangaluru
01:06:05However
01:06:06it turned out
01:06:07that the man
01:06:08known as Siyarama Baba
01:06:09is actually
01:06:10no more than
01:06:11109 years old
01:06:12which is still quite a lot
01:06:13A video showing
01:06:15two people helping
01:06:16an exhausted old man
01:06:17move around
01:06:18went viral online
01:06:19sparking many comments
01:06:21and debates
01:06:21about his real age
01:06:23Siyarama Baba
01:06:24was born in Mumbai
01:06:25and attended school
01:06:26up to the 7th
01:06:27or 8th grade
01:06:27He is a devoted follower
01:06:29of the Hindu god
01:06:30Hanuman
01:06:30and has dedicated
01:06:32his entire life
01:06:32to spiritual practices
01:06:34After meeting a saint
01:06:35the old man
01:06:36left his home
01:06:37and went to the Himalayas
01:06:38where he devoted himself
01:06:40to penance
01:06:41and religious meditation
01:06:42Siyarama Baba
01:06:43renounced
01:06:44the comforts
01:06:44of civilization
01:06:45and lived in caves
01:06:46wearing only a loin cloth
01:06:47spending all his days
01:06:49reading sacred texts
01:06:51A message from space
01:06:52In the Inga river
01:06:54in Brazil
01:06:55there is the mysterious
01:06:56Inga stone
01:06:57in the state of Paraiba
01:06:58which causes much debate
01:07:00in the archaeological community
01:07:02On the surface
01:07:03of this 46 meter nice stone
01:07:05unknown geometric symbols
01:07:07are carved
01:07:07the origin and meaning
01:07:09of these symbols
01:07:10remain unknown
01:07:11to this day
01:07:11What do you think?
01:07:13Do they refer to
01:07:13a forgotten civilization
01:07:14or are they a message
01:07:16from our ancestors?
01:07:17The stone
01:07:18is at least 6,000 years old
01:07:19Nearby
01:07:20there are other stones
01:07:21and caves with carvings
01:07:23but they are not
01:07:24as interesting
01:07:24Archaeologist
01:07:25Gabriel Baraldi
01:07:27discovered the first
01:07:28Inga cave
01:07:28in 1988
01:07:30In total
01:07:31he studied
01:07:32497 symbols
01:07:33on the cave walls
01:07:34Most of them
01:07:35are mysterious
01:07:36but some undoubtedly
01:07:37depict cosmic objects
01:07:39such as the Milky Way
01:07:40and the Orion constellation
01:07:42Some scientists
01:07:43see similarities
01:07:44with ancient
01:07:45African and Egyptian
01:07:46scripts
01:07:46while others compare
01:07:48them to runes
01:07:48The study of the symbols
01:07:50showed that they may
01:07:51be connected to ancient
01:07:52beliefs
01:07:52such as the fertility cult
01:07:54One of the researchers
01:07:55suggested that
01:07:56the Inga stone
01:07:57may contain an ancient
01:07:58solar calendar
01:07:58Other hypotheses
01:08:00suggest contacts
01:08:01with extraterrestrial
01:08:02civilizations
01:08:03or even ancient
01:08:04formulas
01:08:05or mathematical equations
01:08:08Globster mermaid masses
01:08:10of unrecognizable
01:08:11organic matter
01:08:12that are occasionally
01:08:13washed up
01:08:14on the beach
01:08:15have been called
01:08:16globsters
01:08:16These could be the
01:08:17remains of sea creatures
01:08:19but without any
01:08:20distinct features
01:08:21they are difficult
01:08:22to identify
01:08:23Another such object
01:08:25found in
01:08:26Papua New Guinea
01:08:26quickly became
01:08:27an internet sensation
01:08:29It is called
01:08:30a mermaid
01:08:30or a sea monster
01:08:32The mysterious globster
01:08:33was discovered
01:08:34on Simberi Island
01:08:35a small volcanic island
01:08:36in Papua New Guinea
01:08:38The discovery
01:08:39attracted a lot of attention
01:08:40because of its
01:08:41strange shape
01:08:42It had a tail
01:08:43but many other parts
01:08:44were missing
01:08:45Scientists are still
01:08:46trying to figure out
01:08:47what it is
01:08:47A whale
01:08:48a dolphin
01:08:49a dugong
01:08:49a shark
01:08:50or maybe even a mermaid
01:08:51Photos of this mystical creature
01:08:53quickly went viral
01:08:54on social media
01:08:55And Curry
01:08:56from the Pacific Whale Foundation
01:08:58believes that
01:08:59it could have been
01:08:59a sea cow
01:09:00found off the coast
01:09:01of the island
01:09:01On the other hand
01:09:03Sasha Cooker
01:09:04from the University of St. Andrews
01:09:06in Scotland
01:09:06believes that
01:09:07it was a cetacean
01:09:08The exact origin
01:09:10of the globster
01:09:11will likely remain
01:09:11a mystery
01:09:12since the locals
01:09:13buried it
01:09:14and DNA analysis
01:09:15is impossible
01:09:17And what do you think
01:09:18it could have been?
01:09:21The Wolfsegg Artifact
01:09:24In 1885
01:09:25a worker named
01:09:26Rael Beck
01:09:27discovered
01:09:28a mysterious artifact
01:09:29about 60 million years old
01:09:31known as
01:09:32the Wolfsegg Iron
01:09:34He found it
01:09:35in a block
01:09:35of brown coal
01:09:36at a foundry
01:09:37in Austria
01:09:38This metallic object
01:09:39embedded in the coal
01:09:40caused great astonishment
01:09:42among the worker
01:09:43and his colleagues
01:09:43They handed the find
01:09:45over to the local museum
01:09:47In 1886
01:09:48professor of geology
01:09:50Adolf Gertz
01:09:51suggested that
01:09:51the artifact
01:09:52came from space
01:09:53but further research
01:09:54showed that
01:09:54the artifact
01:09:55does not contain nickel
01:09:58chromium or cobalt
01:10:00which rules out
01:10:00a meteoritic origin
01:10:02In 1973
01:10:03an analysis conducted
01:10:05by Dr. Hubert Merle
01:10:06Matt Lianer showed
01:10:08that the artifact
01:10:09was made
01:10:10using the
01:10:10lost wax casting method
01:10:11which suggests
01:10:12it was created
01:10:13artificially
01:10:14The artifact
01:10:16is an almost
01:10:17cube shaped
01:10:17piece of solid steel
01:10:18measuring
01:10:1967 by 47 millimeters
01:10:22and weighing
01:10:22785 grams
01:10:24Its edges
01:10:26were sharp
01:10:26and straight
01:10:27which indicates
01:10:28its machine-made origin
01:10:29Some experts
01:10:31believe that
01:10:31it was a fragment
01:10:32of a much larger tool
01:10:33this discovery
01:10:35gave rise
01:10:35to the theory
01:10:36that an ancient
01:10:37advanced civilization
01:10:38existed on earth
01:10:39millions of years ago
01:10:40and although many
01:10:41thought it had disappeared
01:10:42the artifact
01:10:43is still kept
01:10:43in the Heimathaus Museum
01:10:45in Vivekla-Vekla-Bruck
01:10:46but it is no longer
01:10:47on public display
01:10:48Dragon houses
01:10:49and Mount Ochi
01:10:51Dragon houses
01:10:52on the island
01:10:54of Ivia
01:10:54in Greece
01:10:55are mysterious
01:10:57megalithic structures
01:11:00which are impressive
01:11:01for their sheer size
01:11:02and precision
01:11:02these ancient structures
01:11:04built from huge stone blocks
01:11:06without the use of mortar
01:11:07date back to around
01:11:08the 8th century BC
01:11:11legends associate
01:11:12the dragon houses
01:11:13with the gods
01:11:13particularly Zeus
01:11:15and describe them
01:11:16as a place of sacred rituals
01:11:17and the dwelling
01:11:18of ancient dragons
01:11:19guarding these lands
01:11:20Mount Ochi
01:11:22where some of the dragon houses
01:11:23are located
01:11:23is considered
01:11:24a place of contact
01:11:25with the gods
01:11:26because of its remoteness
01:11:27and majestic location
01:11:28in ancient Greek mythology
01:11:30mountains were often
01:11:31associated with the
01:11:32dwellings of the gods
01:11:33and places where
01:11:34they manifested themselves
01:11:35this mountain
01:11:36rising above
01:11:37the surrounding landscapes
01:11:38could be perceived
01:11:39as a sacred place
01:11:41where divine encounters
01:11:42and rituals took place
01:11:43archaeologists face
01:11:45many difficulties
01:11:45when studying
01:11:46these megalithic structures
01:11:48one of the main mysteries
01:11:49is how the ancient builders
01:11:50were able to transport
01:11:51and place such huge
01:11:52stone blocks
01:11:53on the tops of mountains
01:11:54the logistical
01:11:55and technical aspects
01:11:57of their construction
01:11:58remain unclear
01:11:59especially considering
01:12:00the lack of modern tools
01:12:01and equipment
01:12:02there is also
01:12:03no precise data
01:12:04on the time
01:12:05and purpose
01:12:05of the construction
01:12:06of these structures
01:12:07which makes their study
01:12:08and interpretation
01:12:09more difficult
01:12:10according to legends
01:12:11Zeus used these places
01:12:12for his meetings
01:12:13with people
01:12:14and other gods
01:12:14the dragons mentioned
01:12:16in the legends
01:12:17could have been symbols
01:12:18of his power
01:12:18and protection
01:12:19of sacred places
01:12:20there is a theory
01:12:21that the dragon houses
01:12:22could have been places
01:12:23of contact
01:12:24with extraterrestrials
01:12:25supporters of this
01:12:26hypothesis claim
01:12:27that the unusual
01:12:28architecture
01:12:28and precise geometry
01:12:30of these structures
01:12:31indicate possible influence
01:12:32from extraterrestrial
01:12:33civilizations
01:12:34they believe
01:12:35that the ancient Greeks
01:12:36might have interpreted
01:12:38encounters
01:12:38with extraterrestrials
01:12:40as contacts
01:12:41with gods
01:12:41which was reflected
01:12:43in their myths
01:12:43and legends
01:12:44they released it
01:12:45for the coronation
01:12:46this old chocolate bar
01:12:48made by the company
01:12:49round trees
01:12:49was originally packed
01:12:51in a tin box
01:12:51with portraits
01:12:52of King Edward
01:12:53and Queen Alexandra
01:12:55despite being 122 years old
01:12:58the chocolate remained uneaten
01:13:00which makes this fine
01:13:01truly unique
01:13:03auctioneers from auctioneer limited
01:13:04valued the chocolate
01:13:06at 200 pounds sterling
01:13:07at the beginning
01:13:08of the 20th century
01:13:09chocolate was a real novelty
01:13:11and refusing such a treat
01:13:12was probably a difficult test
01:13:14for the owner
01:13:15the chocolate bar
01:13:16was kept in its original wrapper
01:13:17although it's definitely
01:13:19not recommended
01:13:19to try it now
01:13:20it attracts attention
01:13:21not only as a rare artifact
01:13:23but also as a reminder
01:13:24of the royal era
01:13:25Edward VII
01:13:27the eldest son
01:13:28of Queen Victoria
01:13:29ascended the throne
01:13:30in 1901
01:13:31and ruled
01:13:32for 9 years
01:13:33he was known
01:13:33for his love
01:13:34of French culture
01:13:35and gastronomy
01:13:36Edward's reign
01:13:37also played
01:13:37an important role
01:13:38in strengthening
01:13:39Anglo-French relations
01:13:40which led to the creation
01:13:42of the Entente
01:13:42in 1904
01:13:44a corpse
01:13:45for a curse
01:13:46why did people
01:13:47in ancient times
01:13:48place curses
01:13:49in tombs
01:13:50often
01:13:51the deceased
01:13:52and the ritual performers
01:13:53were strangers to each other
01:13:54the body of the dead
01:13:55was merely a means
01:13:56to transmit the curse
01:13:57to the forces of the underworld
01:13:59who would then carry it out
01:14:00there is evidence
01:14:02from the 4th century BC
01:14:03that some practitioners
01:14:04believed the spirit
01:14:05of the deceased
01:14:06which remained near the grave
01:14:07after burial
01:14:08could carry out the curse
01:14:10the dead were seen as agents
01:14:12capable of influencing the curse
01:14:13acting as intermediaries
01:14:15to the forces of the underworld
01:14:17or as independent active forces
01:14:19able to interfere
01:14:20in the affairs of the living
01:14:21certain types of the deceased
01:14:23whose souls were considered
01:14:24especially restless
01:14:25and volatile
01:14:26were of particular interest
01:14:28in curse rituals
01:14:29the graves of such people
01:14:31were especially suitable
01:14:32for supernatural use
01:14:33these included
01:14:34those who died
01:14:35before their time
01:14:35for example
01:14:36infants
01:14:37children
01:14:37women who died
01:14:38before childbirth
01:14:39and those who died
01:14:40from violence
01:14:41for both groups
01:14:42sudden death
01:14:43meant that their lives
01:14:44were cut short
01:14:45before they could complete
01:14:46the normal life cycle
01:14:47their spirits
01:14:48were especially
01:14:49disturbed and vengeful
01:14:50on the island of Paros
01:14:52a child's grave
01:14:53was found
01:14:54with a tin figurine
01:14:55pierced by seven iron nails
01:14:56its hands behind its back
01:14:58and a tin noose
01:14:59around its neck
01:15:00the figurine
01:15:01had the name
01:15:02Theophrastos on it
01:15:02UFO in 1665?
01:15:06In April 1665
01:15:09six fishermen witnessed
01:15:12mysterious aerial phenomenon
01:15:14an air battle
01:15:15over the Baltic Sea
01:15:16near Stralsund
01:15:17as evening fell
01:15:18a dark grey disc
01:15:19appeared in the sky
01:15:22the 1665 UFO exhibition
01:15:24reconstructs
01:15:25how this event
01:15:26was presented
01:15:26in the media
01:15:27of that time
01:15:28and shows that
01:15:28many communication strategies
01:15:30used to cover
01:15:31unexplained celestial phenomena
01:15:33are still relevant
01:15:34today
01:15:35the central event
01:15:36of this exhibition
01:15:37was the aerial battle
01:15:38on April 8, 1665
01:15:41fishermen saw flocks of birds
01:15:43turn into ships
01:15:44that fought in the sky
01:15:45ghostly figures
01:15:46bustled on the decks
01:15:47soon a flat disc
01:15:49appeared over
01:15:49the church of Saint Nicholas
01:15:51and the fishermen
01:15:52fled in fear
01:15:53the next day
01:15:54they complained
01:15:55of trembling
01:15:55and body aches
01:15:56the media of that time
01:15:58spread the news rapidly
01:15:59suggesting various theories
01:16:01about its origin
01:16:02in an era
01:16:03when religion
01:16:03played a huge role
01:16:04people believed
01:16:06that the phenomenon
01:16:06was a sign sent
01:16:07by God
01:16:08at that time
01:16:09no one knew
01:16:10that the fishermen
01:16:10might have witnessed
01:16:11an atmospheric reflection
01:16:13of a naval battle
01:16:14beyond the horizon
01:16:16mummified teenage mother
01:16:18archaeologists have
01:16:19re-examined
01:16:20the mummified remains
01:16:21of a young mother
01:16:22who died in childbirth
01:16:23more than 1,500 years ago
01:16:25and discovered
01:16:26shocking details
01:16:27two foetuses
01:16:28were found
01:16:29in the pelvic area
01:16:29and in the chest
01:16:30this discovery
01:16:31is both astonishing
01:16:32and horrifying
01:16:33the mummy
01:16:34of a teenage girl
01:16:35who died during childbirth
01:16:36in ancient Egypt
01:16:37was found in the Karga Kargana oasis
01:16:39at the El Bhagawat cemetery
01:16:41in 1908
01:16:42the body was treated with salt
01:16:44which is consistent
01:16:45with the ancient Egyptian
01:16:46practice of mummification
01:16:47at first
01:16:49archaeologists assumed
01:16:50that the girl died
01:16:51from complications
01:16:51during childbirth
01:16:52however
01:16:53a CT scan revealed
01:16:54the second fetus
01:16:55in the chest cavity
01:16:56indicating a twin pregnancy
01:16:58what was especially disturbing
01:17:00was the discovery
01:17:00that one of the fetuses
01:17:01was missing its head
01:17:03during the research
01:17:04it was found
01:17:04that the baby's head
01:17:05got stuck in the mother's pelvis
01:17:06which led to its decapitation
01:17:08during childbirth
01:17:09this is the first known case
01:17:10in Egypt
01:17:11it is assumed
01:17:12that the embalmers
01:17:13might not have known
01:17:14about the twins
01:17:14and forgot to remove
01:17:15the second fetus
01:17:16this study highlights
01:17:18the dangers of pregnancy
01:17:19and childbirth
01:17:20in that era
01:17:21the ancient Egyptians
01:17:22treated birth
01:17:23with deep respect
01:17:24as can be seen
01:17:25from spells against
01:17:26twin pregnancies
01:17:28from antiquity
01:17:29to modern times
01:17:30archaeologists
01:17:31while studying jewelry
01:17:32found in a 5th century
01:17:34female burial
01:17:34discovered its unexpected
01:17:36resemblance
01:17:37to a Charivari
01:17:38a traditional amulet accessory
01:17:40this decorative element
01:17:41consisting of coins
01:17:43keys and amulets
01:17:44carried symbolic meaning
01:17:45and could reflect
01:17:47the owner's status
01:17:48during excavations
01:17:49in Bavaria
01:17:50in 2016
01:17:50an unusual collection
01:17:52of items
01:17:53combined into
01:17:53a single accessory
01:17:54was found
01:17:55in the burial
01:17:56of a young woman
01:17:57from the 5th century
01:17:58the set included
01:18:00two bronze keys
01:18:01a case for a bone needle
01:18:02bronze rings
01:18:03three roman coins
01:18:04with holes
01:18:05a walnut shell
01:18:06decorated as a pendant
01:18:07and other interesting artifacts
01:18:09these items
01:18:10attached to leather straps
01:18:11reminded researchers
01:18:12of elements of
01:18:13Charivari jewelry
01:18:14known in Bavarian culture
01:18:16the discovery
01:18:17attracted the attention
01:18:18of scientists
01:18:19as it may indicate
01:18:20the ancient origins
01:18:21of Charivari
01:18:22this accessory
01:18:23likely symbolized
01:18:24its status
01:18:25or cultural identity
01:18:26after restoration
01:18:28experts
01:18:29recognized it
01:18:30as an important element
01:18:31of late antique culture
01:18:32on the borders
01:18:33of the Roman Empire
01:18:34an ancient multiplication table
01:18:36archaeologists discovered
01:18:38a fragment
01:18:38of a wooden tablet
01:18:39with one of the oldest
01:18:40multiplication tables
01:18:41in Japan
01:18:42in the ruins of the Fujiwara palace
01:18:44in Nara prefecture Japan
01:18:45the find is about
01:18:471,300 years old
01:18:49the ruins of the Fujiwara palace
01:18:51are the remains
01:18:52of an ancient capital
01:18:53that existed until 710
01:18:55when the capital was moved
01:18:56to Nara
01:18:57the plaque was found
01:18:58at the site
01:18:59where the Emonfu guard post
01:19:00was presumably located
01:19:02in the Fujiwara government
01:19:03the size of the find
01:19:04is approximately
01:19:0516 by 1 cm
01:19:07researchers believe
01:19:08that it was part
01:19:09of a more well-known
01:19:10multiplication table
01:19:11which dates back
01:19:12to the late 7th
01:19:13or early 8th century
01:19:14even then
01:19:15such tables were used
01:19:16in government institutions
01:19:18with the help
01:19:19of infrared analysis
01:19:20the following equation
01:19:22was read on the tablet
01:19:23all the inscriptions
01:19:24are made using kanji
01:19:25Chinese characters
01:19:27that are also used
01:19:28in modern Japanese
01:19:29the multiplication table
01:19:31starts with multiplication
01:19:32by 9
01:19:33and contains 5 equations
01:19:34written horizontally
01:19:35in a single row
01:19:36if the tablet were whole
01:19:38its length
01:19:38would be about 33 cm
01:19:40this 5 line writing style
01:19:42corresponds to the Chinese styles
01:19:44of the Qin and Han dynasties
01:19:46the tablet was probably used
01:19:48by the office of Emon MNFU
01:19:49which was responsible
01:19:51for security
01:19:52and administrative tasks
01:19:53including counting
01:19:54working days and taxes
01:19:56the name of Jesus Christ
01:19:57while studying
01:19:59the remains
01:19:59of a man from Sudan
01:20:01scientists
01:20:02from the University of Warsaw
01:20:03discovered a religious
01:20:04tattoo with a Christian symbol
01:20:06these remains
01:20:07were found
01:20:07near the Ghazali monastery
01:20:09which they date
01:20:10to the middle ages
01:20:11on the leg
01:20:12of the deceased
01:20:13who passed away
01:20:14about 1300 years ago
01:20:15a tattoo was discovered
01:20:17depicting the Chiro
01:20:18a monogram of the name
01:20:19of Jesus Christ
01:20:20created from the Greek letters
01:20:21Chi and Ro
01:20:22in addition
01:20:23the symbols
01:20:24Alpha and Omega
01:20:24were depicted nearby
01:20:26this symbol
01:20:27first appeared in 324 AD
01:20:29during the reign
01:20:30of Emperor Constantine
01:20:31Alpha and Omega
01:20:32are the first and last letters
01:20:34of the Greek alphabet
01:20:36symbolizing the idea of God
01:20:37as the beginning
01:20:38and the end of everything
01:20:39it is interesting
01:20:40that the tattoo is located
01:20:41on the right leg
01:20:42because according to scientists
01:20:43that is where the nail
01:20:44could have been driven
01:20:45during the crucifixion
01:20:46of Christ
01:20:47this religious marking
01:20:48indicates the man's
01:20:49Christian faith
01:20:50however
01:20:51it has not been established
01:20:52whether he was a monk
01:20:53from the Ghazali monastery
01:20:55since his remains were found
01:20:56in a nearby cemetery
01:20:58intended for local residents
01:20:59according to the analysis
01:21:01he was between 35 and 50 years old
01:21:03at the time of his death
01:21:04at that time
01:21:05this region
01:21:06known as Nubia
01:21:07included parts of modern
01:21:08Egypt and Sudan
01:21:09Christianity was their main religion
01:21:11although the remains were found
01:21:13seven years ago
01:21:14the unique tattoo
01:21:15was discovered only recently
01:21:17and this is only the second known case
01:21:19of a tattoo
01:21:19in medieval Nubia
01:21:22gold jewelry from space
01:21:24among the sparkling gold
01:21:25and treasures of bronze age Iberia
01:21:28two modest looking objects
01:21:29may turn out to be
01:21:30the most valuable of all
01:21:32a corroded bracelet
01:21:34and a rusty hemispherical object
01:21:36decorated with gold
01:21:36turned out to be more
01:21:37than just metal artifacts
01:21:40researchers discovered
01:21:41that they were forged
01:21:42not from metal mined
01:21:43from the earth
01:21:44but from meteorite iron
01:21:45that fell from the sky
01:21:47this discovery was published
01:21:48in January
01:21:49and proves that
01:21:50metalworking technology
01:21:51in Iberia
01:21:52more than 3000 years ago
01:21:54was much more advanced
01:21:55than previously thought
01:21:57the so-called treasure of Vienna
01:21:59a collection of 66 gold items
01:22:02was founded 1963
01:22:03in Alicante, Spain
01:22:06it is considered one of the rarest examples
01:22:09of exclusive bronze age art
01:22:11on the Iberian Peninsula
01:22:12and in all of Europe
01:22:14however, the true age of the collection
01:22:16was difficult to determine
01:22:17mainly because of two artifacts
01:22:19a bracelet
01:22:20and a hemispherical object
01:22:21probably part of a scepter
01:22:23or sword hilt
01:22:23these items had an iron-like appearance
01:22:26which raised questions
01:22:27among archaeologists
01:22:28the Iron Age
01:22:30on the Iberian Peninsula
01:22:31began only around 850 BC
01:22:33whereas the gold materials
01:22:35and treasures
01:22:36are dated to the period
01:22:37between 1500 and 1200 BC
01:22:40however, as it turned out
01:22:43the iron did not necessarily
01:22:44have to be mined
01:22:45from earthly ores
01:22:46some bronze age artifacts
01:22:48including the famous
01:22:50iron dagger of Tutankhamun
01:22:51were made from meteoritic iron
01:22:53which was highly valued
01:22:54in ancient times
01:22:55after conducting mass spectrometric analysis
01:22:59of the artifact samples
01:23:00the results showed
01:23:01that both items were made
01:23:02from meteoritic iron
01:23:04which solved the mystery
01:23:05of their origin
