The tortoise was sheltering beneath an already-destroyed building when volcanic disaster struck. Archaeologists found the remains while excavating an area of the city that its…
In the middle of the nineteenth century, miners discovered hundreds of artifacts made from stone and human remains in their tunnels at Table Mountain and in other areas of the gold mining area. PROMOTED CONTENT Experts believe that these bones and artifacts were found in Eocene-eга strata (38 to 55 million years). These data were гeⱱeаɩed by Dr. J. D. Whitney of California, the top-ranking government geologist. The book, The Auriferous Gravels of the Sierra Nevada of California was published by Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Comparative Zoology, in 1880.

The Egyptian city of Thonis-Heracleion was the main port of entry to the Mediterranean Sea between the eighth century BCE and the fourth century BCE. By the eighth century CE, what remained of the city sank into the sea and eventually became a distant memory. Without any trace, except for a few references in historical writings, the forgotten ruins rested undisturbed until the 21st century. In 2000, the European Institute of Maritime Archaeology, led by renowned archaeologist Franck Goddio, finally discovered the city’s treasures in the depths of the Abu Qir Bay. For thirteen years, Goddio and his team methodically…

Archaeologists have extracted 30 titanosaur dinosaur eggs found in a two-tonne block of rock in northern Spain and believe there could be as many as 70 more deeper inside the boulder. The first extracted titanosaur egg near Huesca in northern Spain. Carmen Nunez Lahuerta, a director of the excavation, works on a block containing a dinosaur nest near Huesca in northern Spain. The titanosaur eggs, long-necked sauropods that lived until the extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous period, were found at a dig site in the municipality of Loarre in the north-eastern Spanish province of Huesca during archaeology works…
The “treasure mountain” is rich in platinum, gold and other precious metal ores, the result of a billion years of geological movement and erosion. According to Siberiantimes, the Kondyor Massif mountain contains many precious metals. About 4 tons of platinum are mined here every year. The Kondyor Massif is located in the remote Khabarovsk region of Russia, 600km southwest of the Sea of Okhotsk and 570km southeast of Yakutsk. This geological structure has a diameter of 8km, a height of 600m, nearly 7 times larger than a meteor crater in Arizona, USA. The Kondyor Massif in a NASA satellite image.…

Según una investigación de 2011 en Estados Unidos, el 35 % de los nacimientos de mellizos y el 78 % de los nacimientos de trillizos se deben a la FIV, mientras que cuando la concepción se produce de forma natural, las posibilidades de concepción varían de…
