Global lockdowns and political strife made it a tough year for archaeologists, at least in terms of getting out there on excavation sites. But despite what many might think, archaeology isn’t just about sifting through soil in search of lost artifacts.A lot of the work actually happens far away from the dig site, in labs where scientists are analyzing these found objects, trying to piece together humankind’s unrecorded history. So while archaeologists spent less time out digging, 2021 was still a good year in archaeology.We take a look at some of the biggest advancements in archaeology from this year. We…

I had a lot of possible candidates in mind for the ally Vegapunk called in Chapter 1071, but something clicked earlier when I was watching a chapter reaction. The criteria for who this person could be are as follows: – Someone who would instill unanimous confidence in the Vegapunk escape mission, be it via strength, reliability, anything that would help protect them from CP0. – Someone who would be putting themself at risk of discovery by the World Government. – Obviously, someone who is allied with Vegapunk and has been awaiting a potential order. So a lot of ideas have been pitching folks like…
Who is kim kardashian? It can’t be an entirely ridiculous question since it’s hard to give a simple answer to what she does for a living, and in any case, a lot of people really don’t know. Kardashian is one of the world’s biggest celebrities, but she emerged at a time when social media and multichannel TV were fragmenting and compartmentalizing pop culture, making it possible to be super famous without affecting those who aren’t actively involved . A pithy introduction might be needed then, and Channel 4’s two-part documentary The Kardashians: Billion Dollar Dynasty provides one. We start with…

There are many reasons Vegapunk wouldn’t be able to restore Kuma’s humanity. It could be an issue of skills, resources, or even a matter of choice. Jewelry Bonney was given an important role to play in the Egghead Arc of One Piece. She’s on the island of science to make Dr. Vegapunk restore the humanity of her father Bartholomew Kuma. It’s been established that he regrets turning Kuma into a Pacifista in the first place, so he should be willing to do Bonney this favor. However, in Chapter 1071, “The Hero Deploys,” he says he can’t do it, and for a good reason. The fact that the chapter…
Archaeologists excavating a site along with the Thames Tideway Tunnel—a massive pipeline nicknamed London’s “super sewer”—have revealed the skeleton of a medieval man who literally died with his boots on. “It’s extremely rare to discover any boots from the late 15th century, let alone a skeleton still wearing them,” says Beth Richardson of the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA). “And these are very unusual boots for the period—thigh boots, with the tops, turned down. They would have been expensive, and how this man came to own them is a mystery. Were they secondhand? Did he steal them? We don’t know.” Unearthing skeletons amid major construction projects is…

On the white background of the church stands out a giant cube-shaped stone structure covered with kiswa black silk fabric embroidered with elaborate gold threads. This special building is called…
Italy is not exactly renowned for dinosaurs. In comparison to its excellent artistic and archaeological heritage, dinosaur fossils are very rare. Not surprisingly, the discovery of the first isolated remains from these animals, in the early 1990s, generated quite an excitement but was shortly after considered nothing more than an exception to a general rule. During the reign of dinosaurs, between 230 and 66 million years ago, the ancient Mediterranean area would have been hard to map, formed by countless small islands far from all major mainlands – Europe, Africa, and Asia – unsuitable to sustain large animals like the…

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs and changed the course of evolution. The skies darkened and plants stopped photosynthesizing. The plants died, then the animals that fed on them. The food chain collapsed. Over 90 percent of all species vanished. When the dust settled, all dinosaurs except a handful of birds had gone extinct. But this catastrophic event made human evolution possible. The surviving mammals flourished, including little proto-primates that would evolve into us. Imagine the asteroid had missed, and dinosaurs survived. Picture highly evolved raptors planting their flag on the Moon. Dinosaur scientists, discovering relativity, or discussing a hypothetical world in which, incredibly, mammals took…
The demise of the dinosaurs has long captivated paleontologists. Their mass extinction after a fiery meteorite pummeled Earth some 66 million years ago, as volcanoes erupted and global temperatures rose and fell, was a tumultuous end to the reign of these once-dominant beasts. But now another study suggests dinosaurs were already on their way out millions of years before the fated meteorite hit, according to an analysis of over 1,000 fossilized eggshells unearthed in central China. “Dinosaurs went extinct gradually over millions of years, instead of coming to an abrupt end from sudden disasters,” study author Qiang Wang of the Chinese Academy…
The fossil in question is that of an oviraptorosaur, a group of bird-like theropod dinosaurs that thrived during the Cretaceous Period, the third and final time period of the Mesozoic Era (commonly known as the ‘Age of Dinosaurs’) that extended from 145 to 66 million years ago. An attentive oviraptorid theropod dinosaur broods its nest of blue-green eggs while its mate looks on in what is now Jiangxi Province of southern China some 70 million years ago. The new specimen was recovered from uppermost Cretaceous-aged rocks, some 70 million years old, in Ganzhou City in southern China’s Jiangxi Province. “Dinosaurs preserved on their nests are rare,…

One Piece’s unflappable Sir Crocodile has one weakness, and Ivankov knows what it is. What do they have in common, and why is Oda keeping it a secret? One Piece’s Sir Crocodile is one of the most unflappable, ruthless villains in all of anime and manga. The cool and collected leader of Baroque Works isn’t easily flustered, with only the absurd antics of Monkey D. Luffy seeming to get a rise out of him. Otherwise, Crocodile remains a mostly stoic figure in One Piece’s world of chaos. Which is why fans have taken so much notice of the only moment where a…

A 193-million-year-old nesting ground containing more than 100 dinosaurs eggs is upending paleontologists’ understanding of an early dinosaur species. Research published Thursday describes a collection of eggs and juvenile and adult skeletons from a dinosaur called Mussaurus patagonicus, which were found in Patagonia, Argentina. An artist’s reconstruction of a Mussaurus patagonicus nest. The dino is an ancestor of long-necked herbivores called sauropods, such as Brachiosaurus. Most of the chicken-sized eggs were discovered in clusters of eight to 30, suggesting they resided in nests as part of a common breeding ground. Scientists also found Mussaurus skeletons of similar sizes and ages buried…
