En 2016, Ancient Origins Español publicó una historia sobre “La cueva del terror de medianoche”, ubicada al sur de la ciudad de Belmopán en el distrito de Cayo de Belice, en América Central. Descubierta por primera vez en 2006, la cueva del terror ha arrojado más de 10,000 piezas de hueso fragmentado y casi 30,000 fragmentos de vasijas de arcilla. Durante…

El sarcófago de granito rosa-rojo de Ptahmweia, secretario real durante el reinado de Ramsés II (1279-1213 a. C.) de la XIX Dinastía, ha sido descubierto en la necrópolis de Saqqara. Este es el último de una serie de descubrimientos espectaculares en el sitio de Saqqara, una vasta necrópolis de la antigua capital egipcia de Menfis. Esta tumba de 3.200 años del siglo XIII a. C., de “un oficial de alto rango” tenía la tapa del sarcófago rota. Esto era una indicación de que había sido abierto y posiblemente saqueado, al igual que muchas otras tumbas y entierros en el área.…

Greek mythology is full of terrible monsters. Although it is difficult to choose the worst or most terrible of the Greek monsters, Typhon and Echidna are strong contenders. Echidna is a hybrid creature in Graeco-Roman mythology, a massive half-woman and half-snake. She was a terrible serpent from the waist down, despite being a tall, charming, and gorgeous woman. In other words, Hesiod’s ‘impossible monster’ Echidna is a magnificent creature and the mother of a pantheon of violent spirits who, among many other hideous spirits, personified dark powers. These forces were generated during the early days of the gods’ deadly warfare.…

Parents usually say to their children: “You’ll understand when you become a parent too!” and actually… it does! The first look, the first cry, the first smile, the first hug! This feeling that hardly anyone can describe in words. That bond and selfless love that no one can express in words. The moment of birth is a unique moment not only for the newborn but also for the parents themselves. They wait 9 months to get to know the fruit of their love up close and when that moment comes, no matter how much they have prepared, no matter how…
A quick-acting dad helped deliver his own baby daughter after she arrived in a hurry just as nurses stepped out of the delivery suite. And photographer Jennifer Mason was there to capture the incredible moment. “This family knew that they would probably deliver their baby early due to their past history of preterm births,” Jennifer explained. “All of their other kids came early, and this baby was no exception! They were very prepared for all the things that could happen, but I’m not sure that they expected this to happen.” Jennifer, who is also the co-founder of Birth Becomes You,…
Magical pictures capture the moment a boy helping his mom give birth holds the baby first and cuts the umbilical cord. Certainly in our country we are not used to seeing such images, but abroad it is customary for older children – if they want to – to help their mother give birth, thus seeing their youngest sibling come into the world. The photos posted on her personal Instagram account by mom thelavenderdoula herself , as her name is on the popular platform, are simply magical. There is no other word to describe the beauty of the moment when the…
Un pendiente de oro desluмbrante descuƄierto en Dinaмarca puede haƄer sido un regalo del eмperador de Bizancio a un jefe ʋikingo hace 1.000 años, afirмan los expertos.

When we think of the sea, we immediately think of sandy beaches, coconut trees or clear blue waters. However, the Red Beach in China completely makes us immediately change our thinking. Located in Panjin town, Liaoning province, China, the scenery here always impresses those who visit. Different from the beaches in our imagination, the Red Sea every autumn is covered with an extremely brilliant red. However, the red color of this beach does not come from the color of the sand or silt, but from a special algae called Sueda Salsa. The brilliant color of the Red Sea comes from a special type…
Skip to content Fly Geyser, also known as Fly Ranch Geyser is a small geothermal geyser located on private land in Washoe County, Nevada, about 20 miles (32 km) north of Gerlach. It is actually human-made. In June 2016, the non-profit Burning Man Project purchased the 3,800 acres (1,500 ha) Fly Ranch, including the geyser, for $6.5 million. The Burning Man Project began offering limited public access to the property in May 2018. The geyser contains thermophilic algae, which flourish in moist, hot environments, resulting in multiple hues of green and red, coloring the rocks. The fly geyser contains thermophilic…

The couple embraced and cuddled their dying baby while whispering sweet things in his ear, hoping it would make Jamie move. And soon, a miracle happened! Jamie started breathing and held…
It’s an understatement to say that motherhood often comes with a string of surprises. Many women discover a fierce protective instinct that they didn’t know they had, and this is especially true when their children are born with an unexpected condition. Patricia Williams is no stranger to the unpredictability of childbirth: the mother of four has two boys who were born with ᴀʟʙɪɴɪsᴍ. Instead of viewing the ᴅɪᴀɢɴᴏsɪs as a setback, she and her family decided to celebrate their children’s uniqueness. Below, she tells us more about their story, how she can instill confidence in her children and her advice…

Kaylie and Brandon DeShane from New York had been trying to ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ for four years. Unfortunately, attempts to get pregnant were unsuccessful. So they decided to adopt eight-year-old Holden and…
