30 OCT 2024 · Bronze Age armor was sturdy enough to protect Mycenaean warriors in battle 3,500 years ago, according to a study published on May 22 in the journal PLOS One.Researchers used a replica of the armor discovered in 1960 in Dendra, a village near the ancient Greek city of Mycenae, and enlisted 13 navy soldiers from the Greek military to test its durability.For decades, archaeologists wondered if this armor, which includes a boar-tusk helmet and a torso plate of interlocking bronze pieces, was robust enough for combat. "Since its discovery, the question has remained whether the armor was only used for ceremonial purposes or if it was meant for actual battle," said Andreas Flouris, a physiology professor at the University of Thessaly, Greece, and lead researcher. "The Dendra armor is considered one of the oldest complete sets of Bronze Age armor in Europe."

30 OCT 2024 · To this day, researchers have yet to uncover the location of Genghis Khan’s tomb or determine the cause of his death.The death of Genghis Khan is shrouded in mystery. He passed away in the summer of 1227 during a campaign against the Western Xia along the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Yinchuan. However, scholars still do not know how he died. One theory, recorded by Marco Polo, suggests Genghis Khan died from battle wounds inflicted by his enemies; another theory from The Secret History of the Mongols (a work written later about the Mongol royal family) claims he fell from his horse while hunting.

30 OCT 2024 · The tomb of Cyrus the Great, built over 2,500 years ago, is considered the oldest structure with an effective earthquake-resistant design.In ancient Greece and Persia, a construction technique was developed in which materials like clay and ceramics were placed between the ground and the foundation. This design allowed the layers to slide over one another during ground tremors, reducing earthquake damage, according to Amusing Planet. Known as base isolation, this technique remains one of the most effective methods for protecting buildings from earthquakes today. The earliest known example of base isolation is the tomb of Cyrus at Pasargadae, the capital of the Achaemenid Empire during the reign of Cyrus the Great (559-530 BC) in Iran.

30 OCT 2024 · John A. Larson introduced the lie detector in 1921, yet he himself doubted its accuracy.In ancient China, officials sometimes made suspects fill their mouths with raw rice during questioning. Afterward, they would have the person open their mouth. Dry rice indicated a dry mouth, which was considered evidence of guilty anxiety—often enough to justify severe punishment.

28 OCT 2024 · For the first time in 112 years, Chinook salmon are swimming freely up the Klamath River after four large dams along the river were removed.Biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) spotted Chinook salmon near the former site of the J.C. Boyle Dam on the upper Klamath River, Smithsonian reported on October 25. This dam was one of four that had blocked the migration of salmon between the Klamath Basin and the Pacific Ocean. These four dams were recently dismantled as part of the largest dam removal project in U.S. history, restoring the river to its natural, free-flowing state.

28 OCT 2024 · Based on rock samples from Earth and other celestial bodies, scientists estimate that Earth formed about 10 million years after the birth of the Solar System.If Earth’s entire history were compressed into one day, humans would appear only in the last few seconds before midnight. Humanity’s hundreds of thousands of years represent only a tiny fraction of Earth’s timeline. So, just how old is our planet, and how did we determine this?Earth formed around 4.54 billion years ago, roughly 10 million years after the Solar System came into being. Following the collapse of a giant gas cloud that formed the Sun, remaining debris from this cloud came together to create the planets.

27 OCT 2024 · Tectonic plate movements and a drop in sea levels once isolated the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean, causing the seawater to evaporate and form a vast salty basin.Previously, the Mediterranean transformed into a massive salt basin roughly half a million years ago. Evidence of this geological upheaval still exists today, and a similar event could potentially happen again in the future, according to IFL Science. Known as the Messinian Salinity Crisis, this event, according to researchers, occurred when sea level changes prevented the Atlantic from flowing into the Mediterranean, leading the sea into a near-total dry spell approximately 5.33 to 5.97 million years ago.
