Terrifying Discovery At Cleopatra s Tomb In Egypt That Changes History
As the archaeologists ventured deeper into the dark and musty chambers of Cleopatra's tomb, their excitement turned to unease. The air grew colder, and an eerie silence settled over the ancient burial site. But nothing could have prepared them for what they were about to uncover. Let’s take a look at what has been discovered. And how can it change history?
Egyptologist and former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs of Egypt Zahi Hawass made a statement that locating Cleopatra's (and Mark Antony's) tomb would be "the most important discovery of the 21st century." Hawass said this in reference to the tomb of Cleopatra. A similar finding to that of King Tut's Tomb might keep archeologists, historians, and researchers busy for years to come while also providing insight into the nature of funerary temples in ancient civilizations. King Tut's Tomb was discovered in 1922. In addition, it is possible that long-standing concerns regarding the queen herself, especially the nature of her passing, may eventually be resolved.

What was the Earth like 3 Billion Years Ago ? | History of the Earth Documentary
Where did we come from? How was the world around us formed?
These questions are powerful engines of reflection, responding to a visceral need to know where we come from, where we belong and to understand the world around us.
Our planet, Earth, is a planet like any other. Like others, it is unique. Planets share some of their history but have evolved differently, developing their own individualities. Earth is the only known planet that harbors life. Among all the organisms that have succeeded one another, one has demonstrated a great capacity to dominate its environment and adapt it to its needs: Man.
Man hates ignorance. That is why he began very early on to study these questions in order to understand the Earth. But can we really claim to know the Earth when so many interpretations and uncertainties are involved? Man studied the subject, first through philosophy, then through geology. The study of the lithosphere reveals an astonishing amount of information that allows us to trace its formation. Today a history of the Earth has been written since its birth, but the scenario is not set in stone and will continue to evolve as discoveries are made. It has not always resembled the beautiful, calm and peaceful blue planet. Its birth and "infancy" were chaos, an unprecedented hell with unimaginable heat.
How did it evolve into the Earth we know today? What was the Earth like 3 billion years ago?

This Was An Ancient Roman Fort: 5 Ancient Places Re-Used by Modern Military
In the midst of the Second World War, as Nazi forces advanced northward from France towards Britain, they seized control of the Channel Islands, transforming them into strategic strongholds.
Alderney, the northernmost Channel Island, became a crucial military base, echoing its historical role some 1700 years earlier when the Romans established their own base there.
The occupying Roman forces had constructed a fort on Alderney, which remains one of the best-preserved examples of its kind to this day. Now known as the Alderney Nunnery, the fort has seen continuous use since its creation, with its impressive 3-meter-thick walls and vantage point over approaching enemy ships.
The Nunnery originally featured state-of-the-art Roman defense mechanisms and battlements designed to endure the test of time...

How the emperor chose Concubines to sleep with in Ming dynasty | It Required Intense Scrutiny
As the most powerful man in the country, the emperor of China had thousands of women at his disposal in the forbidden city. Most women in the Forbidden City were employed as maids and servants, however there was also a select group of concubines whose task was to bear children for the emperor as many as he could father, and to satisfy his sexual needs.
These women were chosen from all over the country, and only a few of those who made it through the rigorous process would be noticed by the emperor and win his favour. Most would spend their lives in bitter loneliness, and unsurprisingly, politics and jealousy was rife among concubines. Beauty was more of a curse than a blessing in China during this period of history.

12 Most Incredible Abandoned Objects And Places That Really Exist
When human beings build something, they almost always do it for a purpose. That's as true of a monument as it is of a humble home. Those purposes don't last forever, though, and when something no longer serves a purpose, it's often demolished. That doesn't happen every time, though. Sometimes the things we build simply become abandoned and end up featuring in videos like this one!

The Ruins Of The Ancient City Of Termessos In Antalya
A visit to the ruins of the ancient city of Termessos is an unforgettable experience, completely different from visiting ancient cities located along the Mediterranean coast.
First of all, to get to Termessos, you need to travel to the altitude of 1000 meters, deep into the Taurus mountain range. The difficulties of this journey are quickly compensated by the vista seen from the ancient theater which is considered to be most ideally situated of all the ancient buildings of its kind in Turkey.
Secondly, this Eagle's Nest, as Termessos was called by Alexander the Great, lies in the National Park where the remains of ancient buildings are nestled among pine forest and a number of rare plant species grow undisturbed by mass tourism.
Finally, Termessos is shrouded in legends and has been the object of fascination and studies conducted by many travelers and scholars, most notable of them being Karol Lanckoronski - a Polish researcher of Pamphylia who traveled throughout this region in the end of the 19th century. The uniqueness of this place has not gone unnoticed by international organizations - Güllük Mountain National Park and the ruins of Termessos are among the candidates for the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Woman Who Destroyed an Empire With her Beauty: Yang GuiFei
Yang Guifei was one of the most beautiful and renowned women in Imperial Chinese history. Because of her beauty the emperor neglected his duties, and the Tang dynasty was greatly weakened by a rebellion that ensued. Even though she was the wife of his son, the Emperor was smitten with her beauty, and eventually, he made her his imperial consort. Yang enjoyed a lavish life after becoming the consort of Emperor Xuanzong. However, she soon became the victim of courtly intrigue, which ultimately forced her to commit suicide led to her death.
The Sphinx Temple Origins: Controversy, Lack of Data and Unanswered Questions
More than 40 years ago, Egyptologist Mark Lehner and geologist Thomas Aigner conducted a study on the Sphinx, the Khafre Valley Temple and the Sphinx Temple, to try and prove the hypothesis that the temple blocks originate from the Sphinx enclosure, and, if correct, it would mean the age of the creation of the Sphinx is likely the same age as the two temples in front of it.
The importance of the study can therefore not be underestimated, especially because, in terms of design, the Sphinx Temple certainly looks to be 4th dynasty, and secondly, thermoluminescence dating that took place in 2013 placed its construction well within the bounds of the 4th dynasty.
Aigner logged each limestone bedrock layer on the Giza Plateau, including those present on the Sphinx core body, recording the lithic qualities and fossil content, and he assigned each limestone layer a number.
Meanwhile, Lehner re-mapped the Valley and Sphinx Temples in detail, numbering each block. Aigner had identified seven types of limestone at Giza, and these were labelled A to G. Lehner assigned each limestone block in the temples to one of the seven layers, and colour-coded them so we can see where they came from.
According to Lehner, the mapping project seemed to confirm the hypothesis, but even though it's been around 40 years since the scientific project, no hard data and no scientific study has ever been published.
In this video, we show there is reasonable doubt to question what we are told, and unless the data from the geological surveys are published, it is unscientific to accept the idea that the blocks that make up the Sphinx Temple, originated in the Sphinx enclosure. Watch this video to learn more.
