Los arqueólogos han descubierto la cripta de 1.500 años de antigüedad de un guerrero que fue enterrado con su esposa e hijos en una ciudad antigua, según los informes.

Los investigadores dicen que el guerrero probablemente tenía un alto estatus porque él y su familia fueron enterrados a más de 16 pies bajo tierra junto con un tesoro de objetos valiosos, informó Ruptly. Se…

There is something uniquely beautiful about Utah’s Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. This remote area is one of those places that encourage travelers to occasionally travel off the well-worn path. This is one of those noteworthy travel destinations that does not always rate high on anyone’s bucket list but is certainly worth inclusion. For those not in the know, President Bill Clinton declared this place an official national monument in 1996 via an actual Presidential Proclamation. It is called Grand Staircase-Escalante because it is home to a number of plateaus, including the 9000-foot tall Kaiparowits plateau, which descends from popular Bryce Canyon…

¡Esta gran canasta tejida todavía está en perfectas condiciones a pesar de tener 10,500 años! Ahora es la canasta tejida más antigua del mundo y fue descubierta en la cueva Muraba’at en Israel. Según la Autoridad de Antigüedades, la canasta se encontró vacía y cerrada con una tapa. Actualmente, se desconoce lo que alguna vez contuvo.

Se analizaron los materiales de la cesta y los investigadores concluyeron…

Los arqueólogos han descubierto un fresco en un antiguo dormitorio de Pompeya que muestra un momento seductor entre una mujer y un cisne. A pesar de pasar más de dos siglos cubierto por las cenizas de la notoria erupción del Vesubio, el paisaje de acuarela ha conservado su vívida claridad y color.

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. “We knew her birth was going to be be unique when she went into labor just shy of 35 weeks, but we never expected dad to catch baby himself in the hospital room with no one around!” Jennifer explained. “This family knew that they would probably deliver their baby early, due to past history of preterm births,” Jennifer added. “All of their other kiddos came…

There is no posing during a birth. Birth photography is the ultimate in documentary storytelling, and there are so many aspects you can capture. It’s all about the small details, and emotions, the pained expressions, the laughter between contractions, the emotional text messages received. The supportive partner, the shoulder massages, holding hands and leaning on each other for support. They say mothers are made to forget the pain of childbirth so that they’re willing to do it over again. If that’s the case, then why do these birth photos cause all of those emotions — from intense pain to immense…

The wolffish has the face only a mother could love, but it’s surprisingly affectionate. And it produces antifreeze. Could be a nightmare for a kid, but these guys actually make friends with humans. Source The only thing the Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) has common with wolves is that it has sharp teeth and a strong jaw to help it rip apart its prey. Its teeth are so prominent, in fact, that some even poke out of its mouth, giving it an appearance that is creepy and funny at the same time – at least by human standards. But those enormous…

Zombies have long captured people’s imaginations, and since they are a huge part of popular culture, we definitely love daydreaming about scenarios where the world is facing a zombie apocalypse. Luckily, these mindless creatures are only the products of our imagination, or aren’t they? What if we told you that zombies are real and that they can be found in nature? A real-life zombie ant. Image credits: Bernard DUPONT/Wiki Commons The horrifying phenomenon in question is caused by a parasitic fungus called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. It infects its prey and grows through its body, consuming it and taking over its mind,…

While we have seen jellies that take on extreme looks like the giant phantom jelly, these jellyfish have evolved to look like… well, fried eggs. Fried egg or jellyfish? Image credit: Mathias Appel Fried egg jellyfish, or also known as egg-yolk jellies, are a couple of jellyfish species that resemble a fried egg. However, don’t let the similarity fool you; chewing on this Scyphozoa wouldn’t be that tasty. These jellyfish have a smooth and translucent bell with a distinctive yolk-yellow bell right in the center, hence the name fried egg jellyfish. One of the known fried egg jellyfish species is…

The ghostly giant is an extremely rare sight and now we have excellent footage to help us learn about it. Out of the darkness of the ocean’s midnight zone, a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) spots a billowing crimson curtain. When the submersible moves in for a closer look, its lights reveal the outline of a giant jellyfish (Stygiomedusa gigantea). Known in English as the “giant phantom jelly,” every sighting of this mysterious animal is a celebration for ocean researchers. It was first collected in 1899, but since then scientists have only encountered…

It might give the impression of being a tardy little fellow, but then, all of a sudden… it turns out to be hardy. Image credits: Richard Herrmann / Adriane Honerbrink The sarcastic fringehead (Neoclinus blanchardi) has a rather curious name, with an attitude to match. This creepy little fish can scare off animals much larger than itself with one show of its distended mouth, which is wider than its head, or even its whole body, for that matter. Discovered in 1858, this ultra-aggressive little guy grows only to about 30 centimetres (12 inches) in length with a long and slender…

Ladies and gentlemen, the award for best invertebrate mimicry goes to Hemeroplanes triptolemus for its masterful impersonation of a venomous snake! Photo: Andreas Kay Native to the rainforests of the Amazon, the snake mimic caterpillar turns into a rather unimpressive moth in the family Sphingidae, but in its larval stage it incorporates an astonishing survival tactic. It needs one too, as without a good defence system in place, sphinx moth caterpillars are essentially energy-rich ‘nom-nuggets’ presented on a bed of leafy greens for the jungle’s predators. To avoid that fate, the larva of this moth expands and exposes its underside…

When Faye Gardiner, 33, of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, first saw the sizes of her boys Joseph and Luke, who weigh 8lb 7oz and 7lb 11oz, respectively, physicians reportedly gasped. Gardiner and her physicians anticipate that her twins will weigh the same as the typical 5-lb twin newborn. However, Gardiner’s son’s “size” made a commotion in the operating room when he was born. Gardiner, who shares a home with her 32-year-old insurance investigator husband Simon, was overjoyed to learn she was expecting. But a few weeks later, the medical professionals informed her that they had experienced an ectopic life, a life that…

Melissa Ayling, 34, of Geraldton, Western Australia, intended to wait as long as she could before giving birth to her second child in the hospital’s calm water. She unintentionally waited too long, and when her husband Sam drove her to the hospital, her baby had already begun to show. She ate chili and mussel pasta for her final meal before giving birth to her first son, Jarvis, who is now 4 years old, at 39 weeks. She started having contractions at 9 a.m. but didn’t leave the hospital until 4 p.m., reasoning that she had plenty of time. She climbed…

When Beth and Rick Hutchinson welcomed their son into the world on 5 June 2020 – several months ahead of schedule – he was so small that he could fit into the palm of one of their hands.  Weighing a mere 340 g (11.9 oz) – about the same as a can of soup, or one-tenth of the average weight for a full-term newborn – the initial prognosis for Richard Scott William Hutchinson was far from optimistic. Doctors thought it was their duty to warn the boy’s parents of the worst case scenario when he was originally admitted to the…
