During the Great Depression, people made clothes out of food sacks. People used flour bags, potato sacks, and anything made out of burlap. Because of this trend, food distributors started to make their sacks more colorful to help people remain a little bit fashionable.

Shihuangdi was the founder of the Ying dynasty and the first emperor of China. Like many powerful men, he decided he wanted to live forever and so commanded his doctors to find the elixir of immortality or they would be killed. His doctors shortly ‘discovered’ the magic potion and he set about drinking it daily. Unfortunately he was actually drinking mercury and eventually died from mercury poisoning

The beaver animal is a very skilled dam engineer, and it is born with these innate skills in building without the need to indoctrinate it from its parents, and evolutionists do not have the slightest explanation for the emergence of these instincts until today. The beaver lives in a dwelling in the middle of the water with underground tunnels several meters long to enter, exit and ventilate to protect its young from predators And in order for this dwelling to remain stable, it must be built on stagnant water. Before building the dwelling, the beaver searches for a river and builds a dam in it to accumulate water and stop flowing, and spends months collecting wood, gravel, mud and building in an amazing way, and even when a runny occurs in the dam - which ranges in length Between one meter and 100 meters - and the possibility of its collapse, the beaver rushes to repair the leak immediately, and we should not neglect the anatomical side of the beaver, as it is endowed with very thick and sharp teeth resembling a carpenter's chisel-shaped incisors and strong jaw muscles for cutting branches and digging the soil, and it has limbs equipped for swimming, and its body Covered with a thick layer of grease to resist the cold of water, and his ears, eyes and nose were made at one level and elevated so that he could swim and hide his body while keeping his eyes above the water to monitor predators, and he could hold his breath for 15 minutes while he was Sufficient time for excavation work or crossing waterways.

Sarmatian burial mound excavated in Russia’s Southern Ural steppes has yielded a magnificent treasure which might be key in understanding more on teh Sarmates, and a little-known period of their nomadic culture that flourished on the Eurasian steppe in the 1st millennium BC.

The archaeological study of this remarkable ancient tomb, or kurgan, was carried out by the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology (Russian Academy of Sciences), led by Professor Leonid T. Yablonsky.

The nomadic peoples such as the Sarmates had no written language therefore scientists can only learn about their cultures and traditions through archaeological data.

The kurgans which are scattered across the steppes contain many Scythian and Sarmatian relics and while the nomads successfully interacted with the Persian Achaemenid and Greek civilizations, they still preserved a unique culture of their own.

Researchers Sequence Genome of Man Who Died at Pompeii : For the first time ever, scientists have sequenced the genome of a man who was killed in the ancient city of Pompeii by the catastrophic volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, a disaster that has inspired fear and awe for nearly 2,000 years, reports a new study.The unprecedented achievement provides an intimate glimpse into the life of a man who was between 35 and 40 years old when the approach of a hot volcanic ash cloud likely killed him instantly inside one of the rooms of the Casa del Fabbro (House of the Craftsman) in Pompeii. The researchers extracted DNA from two people one male and one female who were found in the House of Craftsman.Based on their position and orientation in the house, it is believed that the residents died instantly in the pyroclastic flow.
The team extracted and sequenced DNA from the petrous bone of both people; the petrous bone is a pyramid-shaped segment of bone located near our inner ears that preserves DNA remarkably well. Though both bodies had recoverable DNA, only the man’s entire genome could be sequenced. As a result, the researchers learned many more details about the man’s genetic ancestry and health.
This Pompeiian genome was compared with previously published data on ancient populations, as well as the DNA of 471 present-day West Eurasian individuals. Interestingly, the DNA the man inherited from his mother,called mitochondrial DNA—was similar to that of people who live in Sardinia today. Overall, though, he was most genetically similar to people who lived in central Italy during the Roman Imperial age through to modern times.
