Descubren tumba de vampiro del siglo XVII en Polonia Los cuentos de vampiros normalmente se asocian con Transilvania. Este misterioso lugar rumano fue el hogar mítico del Conde Drácula y el hogar real del despiadado príncipe del siglo XV Vlad Dracul o Vlad el Empalador, cuyas malas acciones inspiraron la leyenda de Drácula. Pero como demuestra un nuevo y fascinante descubrimiento, los vampiros medievales, ya fueran reales o imaginarios, no estaban confinados a las fronteras rumanas, como lo demuestra el descubrimiento y la excavación de tumbas de vampiros. Los vampiros eran temidos y odiados en toda Europa Central y Oriental durante esos…

Los arqueólogos en Borneo, Indonesia, han desenterrado el esqueleto de un hombre amputado, ¡y se sometió a su complicado procedimiento médico hace unos 31,000 años! Hasta ahora, toda la evidencia arqueológica ha sugerido que los primeros procedimientos médicos comenzaron cuando los humanos comenzaron a habitar asentamientos agrícolas durante la llamada Revolución Neolítica, que comenzó hace unos 10.000 años. Los historiadores del desarrollo fisiológico humano generalmente están de acuerdo en que tener cuerpos diseñados para caminar más de 32,2 kilómetros (20 millas) por día, para buscar comida, cazar y pescar, habría estado sujeto a múltiples problemas médicos cuando comenzó la agricultura.…
Hay casos sin resolver, y realmente, realmente, casos sin resolver. La historia de dos momias sudamericanas entra en esta última categoría. Cuando los investigadores analizaron los restos de tres momias sudamericanas precolombinas, encontraron que dos de los individuos fueron brutalmente asesinados. ¡Era hora de que los científicos probaran el trabajo de detective! Analizando momias Sudamericanas Un nuevo estudio publicado en la revista Fronteras en Medicina muestra cómo un análisis exhaustivo de los restos momificados puede revelar información sorprendente, incluso si los restos tienen hasta mil años. Las momias sudamericanas que estudiaron los investigadores se encuentran actualmente en Europa: una se conserva en la…
As their name suggests, these crabs like decorating – themselves. From spider and harlequin crabs, through moss and seaweed crabs, to toothed and arrow crabs, there are over 700 species of decorator crabs belonging to the family Majoidea that cover their bodies with a wide range of unexpected ornaments. But although they may be nature’s dressers, these crustaceans are not dressing up to impress or get noticed. On the contrary: the purpose of the decorations is to get camouflage and/or lure prey. OK, but how do they do it? According to Marine Madness, most decorator crabs use other marine creatures…
Photographer Chris van Wyk garnered viral success with his pictures of an algae-covered “punk” Mary River turtle. The media attention he purposefully generated affected decisions related to preserving the habitat of this unique species. The Mary River turtle breathes in a special way, earning it the nickname “bum-breather”. Image courtesy of Chris van Wyk The now iconic Mary River turtle is just one of the many species endemic to the Mary River flowing in Queensland, Australia. This exceptional animal breathes underwater using specialized glands in its reproductive organs, allowing it to remain submerged for up to 72 hours – an…
In Finland temperature gets as low as -40°C (-40°F) in winter, and in such weather trees get covered in so much snow and frost that it makes the landscape look as if it was from another planet. Photo: Niccolo Bonfadini The Northern part of Finland is mostly covered by the Boreal forest, the largest territorial biome in the world, which freezes for about 6 months of the year. It’s so cold there that forest trees actually freeze to look like ice sculptures, creating an otherworldly sight. The long towering pieces of ice, plastered against the backdrop of blankets of white,…
Mushroom Rock State Park, Ellsworth County, Kansas. Image credit: Vincent Parsons We usually come across mushrooms in nature when hiking in forests or meadows and they pop up their little heads from the grass or fallen leaves. But some “mushrooms” can “grow” much bigger and are made of a completely different material: rock. A mushroom rock, also called rock pedestal, or a pedestal rock, is a naturally occurring rock whose shape, as its name implies, resembles a mushroom. These special-shaped rocks are formed in a number of different ways including erosion and weathering, glacial action, or from a sudden disturbance.…
Only one species is known to be functionally immortal, and scientists have just compared its genome with that of its mortal counterparts in a quest to learn what makes it so special. The “immortal jellyfish” returns to a polyp stage after spawning, staying forever young. Then it grows up again. Photo: Yiming Chen Only one species, Turritopsis dohrnii, (which we introduced here) is known to have found the secret of eternal life. Now scientists have compared T. dornii’s DNA with its close relative, T. rubra, in hope of shedding light on how the aging process works and how we could…
The unlikely friends cuddle together at night. Image credit: Care For Wild Rhino Sanctuary In the wild, the little zebra called Modjadji and the baby rhino called Daisy would probably have never met, let alone make friends. But at the Care For Wild Rhino Sanctuary, the two orphaned animals have made an unusual friendship and are helping each other heal. Daisy was found by rangers alone and struggling in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, one of Africa’s largest game reserves. The little rhino was just a few hours old (she still had her umbilical cord attached) and fighting for her…
The day when having a child was solely a woman’s responsibility is long gone; now, it is imperative that both couples share an equal role throughout the whole process, from pregnancy to birthing to parenting. You could be a little confused. How can you reduce your partner’s stress and anxiety over those nine months, both physically and mentally? The following are some ways to refer to them: 1. Be more Fʟᴇxɪʙʟᴇ A few weeks into the pregnancy would be difficult. It would be like constantly adapting to a different aspect of your partner’s emotional and physical needs. Being a working…
How to increase your chances of getting triplets is the subject of many urban legends. And you’ll be happy to know that there are ways to conceive triplets naturally if you’ve always wished you could.

Isa Scherer, an actress, presenter, and chef, is expecting twins and has been flaunting her amazing tummy on social media as she nears delivery. She herself makes a comment in some captions, “This belly size is not normal,” joking about the size in the pictures, which is impressive. ” like that in a pregnancy with twins? The answer is yes, even if Isa claims that the “belly has no limits” and that “if I don’t give birth next week, I think I sneeze and they come out through my belly button,” as she jokingly wrote in other captions. According to…
You’ll experience many moments as a new mother that will make it worthwhile. But any mother can find it daunting to have complete responsibility for another person. It’s also tough because of the crying, sleep regression, spitting up, and unwillingness to eat. Even though every mother’s path is unique, almost all can agree that it is difficult. We asked seven mothers to discuss the difficulties of early parenthood for this post, and we bet you can relate to at least some of these. Worrying About Her Weight “Despite breastfeeding, my baby looked thin and frail when compared to other infants.…
This is the story of Lily Brennan, 17, and her sister Lauren, 20. They both live with their parents in Merseyside, England.

Staff at a South African reserve found the bloodied head and limbs of at least two poachers who broke in to hunt rhinos. The suspected poachers strayed into a large pride of lions, the owner of the reserve said. Photo: RayMuzyka Over the last few years, the Sibuya Game Reserve near the town of Kenton-on-Sea in south-eastern South Africa has faced several acts of intrusion by poachers attracted to the reserve’s vast diversity of animals, mostly its rhinos. In a lion enclosure within the reserve, rangers discovered the remains of two, possibly three, suspected rhino poachers who have been mauled…

Basándose en el nombre del sarcófago, a esta familia se le dio inicialmente el laƄel Pa-IƄ, pero ahora se ha determinado que ese no es el verdadero nombre de la familia. ¡Entonces, la мuммy se conoce oficialmente como la мuммy Barnuм! Como muchas de las otras empresas de las que he hablado, no se sabe mucho sobre esta. Esto es especialmente cierto considerando que la pobre mujer no está en su propio ataúd. Dado que probablemente vivió en el Reino Medio, podemos estimar su edad en alrededor de 4000 años. Aunque se desconoce qué profesión pudo haber tenido, es posible que fuera empleada doméstica…
Él está de vuelta. Price Petawere, un hombre que intentó (probablemente con éxito) asesinar a su propio padre, el faraón Ramsés III, y luego se quitó la vida después de ser juzgado, se encuentra ahora en exhibición pública en el Museo Egipcio de El Cairo. La momia de Petawere, conocida popularmente como la “mami que grita”, no fue momificada correctamente. No se usó ningún líquido de embalsamamiento, y se permitió que su cuerpo se momificara por completo, con la boca abierta y los músculos faciales tensos para que pareciera que la momia estaba gritando. Está claro si murió gritando o si se…
Zahra Amirabadi, 28, was constantly tired during her pregnancy, napping twice a day and struggling to sleep at night – before realizing she was carrying not one but three babies. A first-time mum has given birth to one-in-200 million identical triplets. She and her husband Ashraf Reid, 29, who hailed from Nottingham, East Midlands, had twins in their family, but Zahra never expected to become pregnant with three children. Zahra revealed that her partner Ashraf was joking on the way for the 12-week scan. Zahra said:” We had been joking on the way to the scan saying ‘imagine if it’s…
Las arqueólogas Blanca Copto Gutiérrez y Alixbeth Daniela Aburto Pérez del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) de México dijeron que el cementerio refleja la transición de las costumbres funerarias prehispánicas a las introducidas por los españoles. Hasta el momento, los investigadores han recuperado los restos de 21 personas. La mayoría de los restos pertenecían a adultos, pero también se encontraron los restos de un par de niños. “A pesar de que la mayoría de los entierros presentaban la misma orientación oeste-este, lo que alude a la creencia en la resurrección en la fe cristiana, su disposición sugiere dos tipos de…
Each child is unique in its own way. But There are children whose birth is viewed as such a unique peculiarity that the consideration of journalists all over the planet is bolted to it. So it came with the Argentine twin young ladies Catalina and Virginia. The infants were born in a common family, but their photographs promptly turned into a web sensation on the Internet. Jorge Gomez and his wife were really anticipating the presence of the young ladies. They cherished their child frantically, but they believed the family should become much greater. That is the reason exactly when…
