3,500-Year-Old Tablet with a furniture list
The tablet was discovered during excavations at the archaeological site of Alalakh, in what is now the Turkish province of Hatay, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism stated in a note. This ancient city flourished in the 2 nd millennium BC as an urban settlement of the Amorites, a Bronze Age people from the Levant, an eastern Mediterranean region, who spoke a Semitic language. The remains of the city have formed a large mound that now covers an area of about 22 hectares (approximately 55 acres). The clay tablet found at Alalakh is relatively small, measuring about 1.6 by 1.4 inches, with a thickness of 0.6 inches and a weight of about 1 ou...

Young Phrixus flees on the back of the mythical ram with the golden fleece.
Greek mythology has handed down the exploits of a group of sailors who set out for a distant land in search of an object of inestimable value. These sailors were called Argonauts, named after their ship, Argo. The land they were heading to was Colchis, and the object of their quest was the fleece of a ram, a very special fleece because it was golden. But what really lies beneath the veil (or rather, the fleece) of the myth? Numerous interpretations have been proposed: here we will briefly review some of them, and then focus on the one I find most coherent. We will show, in particular, how comparative mythology, though often overlooked, co...

Secrets of the Jurassic: Primitive mammals with incredible longevity discovered
According to a recent research published in Nature, primitive mammals may have lived longer than their modern descendants of similar body mass. This discovery, based on the analysis of fossils found in Scotland dating back to the Middle Jurassic (about 166 million years ago), offers new insights into the development and lifespan of early mammals. Growth and Longevity of Mammals Understanding the growth and longevity of mammals has always been one of the most fascinating challenges for paleontologists and evolutionary scholars. Modern mammals, as we know, follow a developmental pattern that has been well-documented through extensive studie...

What is BLACKHORSE? It's a word used to encode and decode a set of numbers over a tactical radio net/freq when you don't have a military CEIOI available.

Here's how it works: Word ---> B L A C K H O R S E No. ---> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 To use, simply speak as if you're using a CEOI encode/decode book. Example: "We will be located at Alpha-Bravo-Echo-Lima-Oscar-Hotel at Bravo-Echo-Echo-Echo" Decoded, it's grid co-ordinates 31052276 at 1000 hours. Simple, isn't it? But you ...

In-House Toilets - Precautions During times of emergencies, such as power outages, for those people that plan to empty the water out of their toilet bowls and then place a garbage bag in the bottom to catch the refuge, this is not a good idea. The water in the toilet bowl (and the traps for sinks, showers, tubs, floor drains, etc.) keeps the sewer gases from coming into your living space. Sewer gases are methane gas, and therefore, are very deadly and explosive. News stories report that utility workers have died from exposure to methane gas. It is also important to add water to your floor drains or other unused drains about once a month ...
