El Hueyi Tzompantli es un estante de calaveras ubicado cerca de las ruinas del Templo Mayo, en la capital azteca de Tenochtitlan (actual Ciudad de México, México). El Hueyi Tzompantli se utilizó para la exhibición pública de cráneos humanos, generalmente de cautivos de guerra u otras víctimas de sacrificio, y se construyó en tres etapas durante la época del gobierno de Tlatoani Ahuízotl, entre 1486 y 1502 d.C. Ahuitzotl, que significa “Agua Espinosa”, fue el octavo gobernante azteca, el Huey Tlatoani de la ciudad de Tenochtitlan. Durante su reinado, Ahuitzotl supervisó una importante reconstrucción de Tenochtitlan y la expansión del Templo…

LA impactante verdad detrás de una momia egipcia con una expresión de gritos en su rostro ha sido revelada. Los expertos que estudian la llamada “Momia que grita” han tratado durante mucho tiempo de resolver el misterio de los aterradores restos. Cuando el cuerpo fue desenterrado por primera vez de su valle Deir El Bahri, cerca del histórico Valle de los Reyes, los arqueólogos se sorprendieron al ver el rostro momificado distorsionado en un grito silencioso. Durante años, varias teorías han tratado de determinar la identidad del hombre y descubrir por qué pareció morir de una manera tan agonizante. Una…

Los cadáveres naturalmente deshidratados como este probablemente inspiraron al antiguo pueblo Chinchorro de la región a momificar activamente a sus muertos, especulan los científicos en un nuevo estudio. La práctica, sugieren los investigadores, despegó durante una época de abundancia natural y crecimiento de la población, cuando los Chinchorro estaban en mejores condiciones para innovar y desarrollarse culturalmente. Los Chinchorro, que vivían en pueblos de pescadores a lo largo de las costas de Chile y Perú, habían comenzado a momificar esqueletos hacia el 5050 a. C., miles de años antes que los egipcios. Los arqueólogos se han preguntado durante mucho tiempo cómo surgió…

En un reciente descubrimiento, se encontró un esqueleto con una cabeza atravesada por una espada, lo que generó curiosidad y asombro en la comunidad arqueológica. Este esqueleto fue descubierto en un sitio arqueológico en un muchacho seco, posiblemente el sitio de guerras en el pasado. La investigación preliminar mostró que el esqueleto fue identificado como el de un mapa de mediana edad, con una herida profunda en la cabeza causada por un objeto de hoja. Los arqueólogos creen que este esqueleto puede datarse del período Paleolítico, hace unos 3000-4000 años. El estudio encontró que el esqueleto fue construido junto con…

Beijing, 5 de marzo: Un мuммy de 700 años de antigüedad fue encontrado en la ciudad de Taizhou, en la provincia de Jiangsu, en el este de China, en excelentes condiciones para los trabajadores de la construcción de carreteras, informa Daily Mail, Londres. El мuммy fue descubierto por casualidad. El cadáver de la mujer de alto rango de la dinastía Ming, el poder gobernante en China entre 1368 y 1644, se encontró con un equipo que buscaba ampliar una calle. Y el мuммy, que se encontró en la ciudad de Taizhou, en la provincia de Jiangsu, junto con otros dos tomos…

El descubrimiento de una tumba de la Edad del Bronce Medio en la antigua ciudad cananea de Megiddo ofrece una visión fascinante de cómo era la vida de los ricos y poderosos antes de que el ejército de Thutmosis derrocara a sus líderes a principios del siglo XV a. Los investigadores esperan especialmente aprender sobre los orígenes de la clase dominante en ese momento. Meguido es más famoso por al menos tres grandes batallas en su territorio: en el siglo XV a. C. cuando Tutmosis III luchó contra una gran coalición de cananeos liderada por el jefe de Meguido y la…

Los arqueólogos que excavaron un sitio junto con el Túnel Thames Tideway, una tubería masiva apodada la “súper alcantarilla” de Londres, han descubierto el esqueleto de un hombre medieval que murió con las botas puestas. “Es extremadamente emocionante descubrir botas de finales del siglo XV, y dejar un esqueleto que todavía las usa”, dice Beth Richardson, del Museo de Arqueología de Londres (MOLA). Y éstas son unas botas muy desgastadas para la época: botas hasta los muslos, con la parte superior bajada. Habrían sido una experiencia, y cómo este hombre llegó a poseerlos es un misterio. ¿Eran de segunda mano? ¿Él los robó? No…

Una prueba poética de que los seres humanos que son estudiados por la arqueología como objetos son en realidad tan humanos como nosotros y tienen comportamientos entrañables. Un descubrimiento arqueológico reciente en Vedbaek, Dinamarca, muestra a una mujer joven colocada en su tumba junto con un bebé, que estaba envuelto en el ala de un cisne. La llamada “tumba 8” de este sitio ha sido interpretada desde varias perspectivas, algunas de las cuales sugieren que el cisne es un símbolo de pureza o que podría tener una función soteriológica ligada a su capacidad de “trascender el agua, la tierra y el…

The road of the…

Watch out for those fists! Photo: Silke Baron/Wikimedia Commons In April 1998, a fierce creature named Tyson smashed through the quarter-inch-thick glass wall of his tank. He didn’t get far, however, as he was soon subdued by nervous attendants and moved to a more secure facility. Still, it was rather a big feat considering that, unlike his heavyweight namesake, Tyson was only four inches long. The daring escape attempt is all the more remarkable as the animal accomplished it without claws. Instead, it used its powerful pair of what scientists call “raptorial appendages,” which end in a brutal hammer or…

The emergence of rare axolotl morphs is a result of us tweaking nature. Image credit: Courtney Bailey/Goldfisj Axolotls have fascinated the international public ever since they were first brought to Paris from Mexico in 1864. Europeans across the continent began breeding these salamanders, marking the beginning of an extensive pet trade in the animals, which breed easily in captivity. Eventually, as axolotls were becoming more and more popular, some owners started to notice something strange: their pets spontaneously morphed from an aquatic animal into a terrestrial one. A blog posted to Imgur by Courtney Bailey (aka @SalamanderWithASign) details the transformation of her…

A historical event has occurred at the Bronx Zoo when, for the first time since its opening in 1899, six Komodo dragons have hatched there. This landmark is a very important step for wildlife conservation since the species is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and mating between these reptiles can often be problematic, especially under enclosures. One of the first Komodo dragons that hatched in the Bronx Zoo. Image credits: Julie Larsen Maher © Bronx Zoo/WCS The Komodo Dragon’s natural habitat can be found on Komodo Island and a few neighboring islands of the…

These curious-looking fish have eyes on top of their heads. That’s why they are called Stargazer. In addition to the top-mounted eyes, the stargazer also has a big, upward-facing mouth in a large head. The bulging eyes and frowny mouth are brilliant adaptations for an ambush predator. And they look extremely otherwordly when they are all what you can see of the fish. Stargazers (family Uranoscopidae) are venomous; they have two large venomous spines situated behind their opercles and above their pectoral fins. Some stargazer species can also deal out electric shocks, much like electric eels do. They are unique…

The unexpected find is way larger than any other known colony of fish nests found so far. The ice babies in the nests may soon get their own marine protected area. Image credit: Alfred Wegener Institute, PS124 OFOBS Team The fact that we know less about the ocean floor than we do about the surface of the Moon doesn’t make this incredible find any less surprising. Five hundred meters below the ice covering the south of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea, a research team recently discovered the world’s largest fish breeding site known to date. According to a new study published in…

Planet Earth is home to some seemingly unusual animals that most of us would find extremely odd. The “vampire deer” is one of those creatures. One could even mistake it for some menacing cousin of the sabertooth tiger, but it is, in fact, quite tiny and very shy. Also, you won’t find meat or blood on its menu. The teeth of the musk deer aren’t used for hunting. Image credit: Николай Усик But wait, aren’t deer supposed to have antlers instead of fangs? Well, the truth is that back in the day, when deer species were first evolving, they were…

The blue dragon is a unique little sea monster. It might not be able to breathe fire but… Well, read below. The blue sea dragon may not be able to breathe fire, but it packs a nasty sting. Image credit: Sylke Rohrlach Contradictory to its name, the blue sea dragon (Glaucus atlanticus) is quite small in real life and it actually belong to the family of sea slugs. On average, they don’t usually grow longer than 3 centimeters, but don’t let their size fool you. These small sea dragons are masters of camouflage and they are armed with a nasty…

There are many examples of beneficial relationships between animals in the wild, but this unusual hunting party made up of a coyote and a badger is like no other. An unlikely duo. Image credit: Kimberly Fraser/U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service The unique bond between these two predators is a prime example of an ecological interaction called mutualism – a type of symbiotic relationship between pairs of species, where all the animals involved benefit from the interactions. Other symbiotic relationships include parasitism, where only one of the species benefit from the interactions, while the other one is harmed in the process.…

A record-breaking goldfish has been caught in Champagne, France, where an angler dragged a 30-kilogram (67-pound) specimen on shore. This puny specimen was half the weight of record-breaker just caught in France. Image credit: KoiQuestion, via Flickr CC BY-SA 2.0 Carp fishery BlueWater Lakes released the behemoth, known as The Carrot, 20 years ago and it has since grown to be one of the largest in the world. It is double the size of the fish you see above. Look at this. The many different breeds of goldfish are all hardy, golden types of domesticated carp, coming in all kinds…

Jean Lambert swiftly gave his premature daughter a hug as he lay on his hospital bed before the nurses and doctors took her away. The new mother had to endure four or five torturous hours of waiting since the placenta was still there before she could finally see baby Chloe again. And not long after that, she witnessed her beloved baby being imprisoned in a machine in the intensive care unit. It was therefore of little concern to her and her husband Michael when they found a minor “bruise” on the child’s forehead’s right side. We didn’t think much of…

Troy Campbell and Erica Campbell believed they had enough time to travel to the hospital. They got into their vehicle and began recording on their dash cam as their third child was about to be born. They had no idea that little Nova was not willing to wait. The delivery of the family’s beautiful baby daughter was documented by the family’s bloggers as it happened next to a busy highway. On May 10, 2021, around 5 o’clock, Erika’s water broke, and the pair had to rush to the hospital. Troy said, “Something very strange is going on,” as the two…

When the small, preterm twins magically grasp hands for the first time in their lives. Although they were born sooner, they had to compete for survival with one another. They gained strength from this. A heartwarming tale of twins, a boy and a girl, who outperformed doctors’ predictions despite being delivered almost three months early. After pleading with their parents to have children, Harper and Gunner were delivered prematurely at the Medical Center Monmouth in New Jersey. The presence of young children in the world also comes with many challenges. When I first met them, they had a large number…

One of the most dramatic and overpowering experiences a woman may have is giving birth. a strong, vivid experience that evoked a wide range of emotions. Love, anguish, rage, joy, pleasure, fear, and hope are all present in your body and mind. An exceptional occurrence that, if you haven’t experienced it or witnessed it, is difficult to convey in words. Although though it might often take hours for everything to be finished, the moment a newborn infant finally sees the light of day sometimes feels like a split second. This is the rationale behind the rising popularity of birth photography.…
