Two Logs Can Change The Way We See History

Two Logs Can Change The Way We See History

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/3acF6DYAvbo In 2019, researchers in Zambia stumbled upon an incredible archaeological find at Colombo Falls—nearly half a million-year-old wood that showed signs of human manipulation. This discovery suggests the wood might be part of the earliest known structure in the world. It’s mind-blowing to think that ancient humans were building things so long ago. The find gives us a fascinating glimpse into early human ingenuity. Who knew that something as simple as old wood could rewrite a part of our history?

Weirdest Natural Disasters in the Earth’s History

Weirdest Natural Disasters in the Earth’s History

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/yMSoDz0j-Go Earth's history has seen some truly bizarre natural disasters. Take the Tunguska event in 1908, for example, where a massive explosion flattened 800 square miles of Siberian forest, likely caused by a meteor airburst. Then, there was a "Year Without a Summer" in 1816, caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora, which led to global cooling, crop failures, and food shortages. There were more weird disasters in the history of our planet that could be called weird - let's learn more about them.

These Are The Most Densely Populated Places On The Planet

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/f0xMVqAlUgQ Some of the most densely populated places on the planet are found in cities like Mumbai, India, where neighborhoods can be extremely crowded with people living close together in high-rise buildings and narrow streets. Tokyo, Japan, also stands out for its densely packed urban areas and efficient land use. In places like Hong Kong and Singapore, skyscrapers and apartment complexes are common, accommodating large populations in relatively small areas. In some places, a whole village lives on a territory that is smaller than a football field!

Why So Many Different Civilizations Built Pyramids

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/R6_JGZzj0Z8 Have you ever noticed that pyramids are scattered all over the globe? They are found in places like Egypt, Mexico, and beyond. The reasons behind their construction vary, but there are some common threads. In ancient Egypt, pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs, symbolizing their power and authority. In Central and South America, cultures like the Maya, Aztec, and Inca built pyramids for religious and ceremonial purposes, often within temple complexes dedicated to their deities. In other regions like China and Indonesia, pyramids were constructed as tombs for rulers or religious structures, reflecting similar cultural and spiritual themes.

This River In Africa Defies Gravity

This River In Africa Defies Gravity

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/_RR9YQEuKeo The Okavango River is pretty unique because it flows right into the Kalahari Desert, creating the lush Okavango Delta. Instead of reaching the ocean, this river just spreads out and disappears into the sand. What's really wild is that sometimes the river changes direction due to tectonic shifts and seasonal variations. This means the river can create new channels and even flood different areas each year. It's an incredible sight and a vital water source for wildlife and local communities. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Ancient People Who Burned Their Culture and Vanished

Ancient People Who Burned Their Culture and Vanished

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/9eayS7y_HGk Tartessos, a mysterious society that thrived between the 9th and 5th centuries BCE, has intrigued historians for ages. Mentioned in Greek and Roman texts, its exact nature was unclear for a long time—was it a city, a kingdom, or even a river? Due to conflicting descriptions and a lack of solid archaeological evidence, pinpointing what Tartessos actually was proved difficult. Nowadays, it's generally believed that Tartessos was a civilization formed by a mix of indigenous people and Greek and Phoenician colonizers in the Iberian Peninsula. This unique blend of cultures created a rich and fascinating society that eventually disappeared abruptly, leaving behind many unanswered questions.

The Worst Catastrophe on Earth Is Finally Explained

The Worst Catastrophe on Earth Is Finally Explained

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/IgqfLo4A5Ak Researchers have found compelling evidence that ancient mercury buried in rock points to massive volcanic activity as the cause of the Earth's largest mass extinction, known as 'the Great Dying.' This catastrophic event occurred 252 million years ago and wiped out over 95% of life on Earth, drastically reshaping the planet's biodiversity. The mercury, released by extensive volcanic eruptions, settled into rocks and provides a geochemical signature that ties these eruptions to the extinction event. According to the study, these volcanic eruptions led to severe climate changes, ocean acidification, and widespread habitat destruction.

Stonehenge Is a Kid Compared to These Ancient Buildings

Stonehenge Is a Kid Compared to These Ancient Buildings

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/-PWt7sMGMUg Did you know Stonehenge is actually a youngster compared to some ancient buildings? For example, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is over 4,500 years old, making it much older than Stonehenge. There's also the Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, which dates back around 11,000 years and is considered the world's oldest known temple. Even older is the Cairn of Barnenez in France, a massive stone structure that's about 7,000 years old. It's pretty mind-blowing to think that these ancient structures have been around for so long, standing the test of time even more impressively than Stonehenge!

Why Australia Built a Fence Across the Entire Continent

Why Australia Built a Fence Across the Entire Continent

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/zUo0vnxmSW4 Australia built a fence across the entire continent, called the Dingo Fence, to protect their livestock from wild dingoes. These dingoes were preying on sheep and cattle, causing huge losses for farmers. The fence, stretching over 5,600 kilometers, aimed to keep the dingoes out of southeastern Australia, where most of the farming happens. It's one of the longest structures in the world, designed to control the dingo population and safeguard agriculture. The fence has had mixed results, impacting both the environment and wildlife in various ways.

Why 99% of This Huge Country Is Completely Empty

Science, Tech and Gadgets
http://youtu.be/O9pD8myWuTQ About 99% of Mongolia is just wide-open land, and that's because most Mongolians stick to living in cities, especially the capital, Ulaanbaatar. The rest of the place is this incredible mix of deserts, mountains, and grasslands, perfect for nomads and their herds but not so much for building big towns. Plus, with a population of just around 3 million people spread out over an area nearly the size of Alaska, there’s a whole lot of room to roam. It's like the ultimate playground for anyone who loves nature and wide-open spaces!
