Ancient Artifacts Abandoned

A mini documentary reflecting the lack of interest that the world shows history, in this case a very important piece of history that concerns us all ! The first written… message in human history much of it remains a mystery and is left in nature’s pity !

Although it's not known whether the Vin??a signs were a complete script, and while the Jiahu symbols are older, this is still a very important find. Civilization is at least twice as old as most people think it is, yet so much remains unknown.

Rare but Real: People Who Feel, Taste and Hear Color

Long dismissed as a product of overactive imaginations or a sign of mental illness, synesthesia has grudgingly come to be accepted by scientists in recent years as an actual phenomenon with a real neurological basis. Some researchers now believe it may yield valuable clues to how the brain is organized and how perception works.

Smilek and colleagues have identified two groups of synesthetes among those who associate letters and numbers with colors, he explained in a telephone interview. For individuals in one group, which Smilek calls “projector” synesthetes,…

Trip of a lifetime: How LSD rocked the world

It’s the psychedelic drug that inspired Hendrix and The Beatles - and shaped the music, art and literature of a generation. As the world bids farewell to the bicycling Swiss chemist who created LSD, John Walsh explores his mind-altering legacy

The definitive acid movie is The Trip, scripted by none other than Jack Nicholson, directed by Roger Corman and starring Easy Rider duo Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. Because it's wholly in favour of the acid experience (ad-man Fonda…

Egypt’s Pyramids Packed With Seashells

Many of Egypt’s most famous monuments, such as the Sphinx and Cheops, contain hundreds of thousands of marine fossils, most of which are fully intact and preserved in the walls of the structures, according to a new study.

The analysis determined the primary building materials were “pinky” granites, black and white granites, sandstones and various types of limestones. The latter was found to contain “numerous shell fossils of nummulites gen.” At…

18 Yr Old Becomes Youngest College Professor in History

Now 19, Alia Sabur is a PhD engineer, black belt in martial arts and music prodigy.

In New Orleans, Sabur is old enough to teach, but not to join her fellow professors in a bar after work. In Korea, where the drinking age is 20, she might have more luck. In traditional Korean culture, children are considered to be 1 year old when…

The Literary Roots of Human Rights

The aim was determining the truth and the technique was torture. Pain was administered in secret, under strict guidelines, often with a judge and doctor present. Once a suspect confessed, the confession would have to be repeated in court.

“It might be rather a stretch to link listening to music, reading a novel, or ordering a portrait … to the abolition of torture or the moderation of cruel punishment, “ Hunt said. “Yet legally sanctioned…

Out-of-This-World Fishing (PICS)

Be careful what you hook up. Aside from picking some vicious industrial garbage, you can bring to the surface some strange and unmentionable things. Most fishermen will happily brag about an extraordinary big fish. But sometimes the catch is so bizarre, that they’d rather forget it over a drink or two.

I grew up in tropical Australia, often swimming and surfing in the open seas. I always took a casual, almost fatalistic approach to the dangers of shark attacks, never really thinking about it much except for the little blip of nerves after I saw…

Adolf Hitler’s Paintings (PICS)

Sure, a couple of these fall into the “Draw Tippy the Turtle” art instruction school category, but some of these aren’t bad at all. Considering the consequences, it’s too bad his art school didn’t give him half a chance.
