Spectators at Rome’s ancient amphitheater enjoyed olives, figs, nuts and more In the sewers and passageways beneath the Colosseum, archaeologists have found new evidence of what attending events at the ancient amphitheater may have been like—and even what snacks spectators may have preferred. During a yearlong study, scientists unearthed traces of olives, nuts, meats, cherries, grapes, figs, blackberries and peaches from 1,900 years ago. Attendees at the famous amphitheater likely munched on these snacks while watching events like plays and gladiator fights. “The only places where such discoveries can be made are the sewers,” Federica Rinaldi, the Colosseum’s lead archaeologist,…

In 1958, the first satellites launched by the United States (Explorer 1 and 3) detected a massive radiation belt around planet Earth. This confirmed something that many scientists suspected before the Space Age began: that energetic particles emanating from the Sun (solar wind) were captured and held around the planet by Earth’s magnetosphere. This region was named the Van Allen Belt in honor of University of Iowa professor James Van Allen who led the research effort. As robotic missions explored more of the Solar System, scientists discovered similar radiation belts around Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Given the boom in extrasolar planet research, scientists…

Earth experiences seasonal changes because of how its axis is tilted (23.43° relative to the Sun’s equator), causing one hemisphere to always be tilted towards the Sun (and the other away) for different parts of the year. However, because of gravitational interactions between the Earth, Sun, Moon, and other planets of the Solar System, Earth has experienced changes in its orientation (obliquity) over the course of eons. This has led to significant changes in Earth’s climate, particularly the recession and expansion of ice sheets due to significant variations in the distribution of sunlight and seasonal changes. These warming and cooling…

Tucked away in a secluded corner of the forest, a hidden gem awaits those brave enough to venture off the beaten path.

Though the majority of blockbuster trade scenarios don’t come to pass, there are still some insane ones that are fun thought exercises. In this article, we will discuss a three-team deal that sends Ja Morant to the New Orleans Pelicans, Trae Young to the Memphis Grizzlies, and Zion Williamson to the Atlanta Hawks.

There are numerous mysteries surrounding Giza’s Great Pyramid. However, experts are baffled by one. The question is: Why is there no stone on the Great Pyramid’s top? This is the story of Sir Siemens, a British inventor. Siemens was attempting to drink from a bottle wine while at the top of the pyramid when he received an electric shock. Advertisement As he held onto the bottle, he charged his own battery with electricity. When a pyramid was being built, the auction stone was often the last object that was set. Is it possible that the Great Pyramid of Giza’s capstone…

Mikal Bridges was involved in one of the biggest trades of the 2022-23 NBA season when he was shipped to the Brooklyn Nets in the move that landed Kevin Durant in Phoenix. Even though the player admitted he would have made this trade without thinking twice, one NBA scout claims that he’s pissed about how his tenure with Phoenix ended. “Between the draft and getting traded to Brooklyn, a lot of guys got more publicity than he did. Mikal might be a skinny dude with a big smile, but he’s also from Philly. Nobody holds a grudge quite like a Philly guy,”…

Scientists think that these bands of rocks may have been formed by a very fast, deep river – the first of its kind evidence has been found for on Mars. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover captured this scene at a location nicknamed “Skrinkle Haven” using its Mastcam-Z camera between February 28 and March 9, 2023. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS Evidence left in rocks is leading scientists to rethink what watery environments looked like on ancient Mars. New images from NASA’s Perseverance rover reveal evidence of a powerful river on Mars, possibly deeper and faster-moving than previously known. The images depict sedimentary rock layers with coarse…

The San Antonio Spurs won the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes, ladies and gentlemen.

How thick is the crust of Mars? This question is what a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters attempted to answer as it reported on data from a magnitude 4.7 marsquake recorded in May 2022 by NASA’s InSight lander, which remains the largest quake ever recorded on another planetary body. As it turns out, this data helped provide estimates of Mars’ global crustal thickness, along with a unique discovery regarding the crust in the northern and southern hemispheres, and how the interior of Mars produces its heat. “From this quake, the largest quake recorded during the entire InSight mission, we observed surface waves that…

The Great Pyramid is the ancient world’s final wonder. However, the issue remains the same: how could the ancient Egyptians move such massive stone blocks? Perhaps the pyramids were not built by Egyptians, but rather by extraterrestrials. Who were the employees? Slaves? Volunteers? And who provided them with food? Who put them together? Who were they employed by? The following documentary illustrates how the Great Pyramid was constructed by ancient people. We continue to think that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built by extraterrestrials for a purpose other than burial. We’ll explain what it’s really for. The film below…
