2011 Starchild Skull Preliminary DNA Report
Starchild Skull DNA Analysis Report—2011 A Layman's summary of this report is available HERE SUMMARY: Early in 2011, a geneticist attempting to recover Starchild Skull DNA identified four fragments that matched with human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). 1. 2. 3. 4. 2003 DNA Testing 5. 454 Life Sciences Technology 6. 2010 DNA Testing & Results 7. 2003 vs 2011 Mitochondrial DNA Testing 8. 2011 DNA Testing & Results 9. 10. Introduction To The Starchild Skull: The Starchild Skull is a 900-year-old human-like bone skull with distinctly non-human characteristics. By 2003, the Starchild Project had completed enough research to strongly suspect the Starchild was something never seen before by science. Formal research was carried out by credentialed experts in the USA, Canada, and UK. Realizing the ultimate answer could come only from genetic testing, in 2003 the Starchild Project commissioned a DNA analysis of the Starchild Skull’s bone by Trace Genetics of Davis, California.

Collapse: Why do civilisations fall?
Hundreds of years ago in what is now modern Honduras, Copán was a thriving civilization, a center of the cultural life of the Maya. Tens of thousands of people made their home in the Copán Valley. Yet despite its importance, Copán went into decline. Across the vast territory of the ancient Maya, other important sites were sharing a similar fate. Classic Maya civilization was collapsing. Why did this great civilization fall? can combine with external causes (such as war or natural disaster) to bring about a collapse. Join us as we explore the collapse of four ancient civilizations. Ready to get started? "Collapse" is inspired by programs from Out of the Past, a video series from Annenberg Media.

The Library of Congress Search by Keyword | Browse by Geographic Location Index | Subject Index | Creator Index | Title Index The Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress holds more than 4.5 million items, of which Map Collections represents only a small fraction, those that have been converted to digital form. The focus of Map Collections is Americana and Cartographic Treasures of the Library of Congress. These images were created from maps and atlases and, in general, are restricted to items that are not covered by copyright protection. Map Collections is organized according to seven major categories. Searching Map Collections The mission of the Library of Congress is to make its resources available and useful to Congress and the American people and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations.

Web Chronology Project
WebChron: The WebChronology Project began as an experiment in history pedagogy by the History Department at North Park University. As a result of changes in the department, WebChron has been removed from the University's server and is now administrated by David Koeller, the originator of the project, and has become part of his "Then Again. . . " website. The site consists of a series of hyperlinked chronologies developed by the instructors and historical articles prepared by students intended for use in history classes.
Handy Man - Tools - Early Humans for Kids
Early man did not have sharp claws or strong sharp teeth. He was not larger or stronger than other animals. He could not run like deer or antelope. So how did early man survive? He had to use the things that animals did not have, reason and invention. Early man invented and created stone and bone weapons and tools. The Stone Age is considered to have begun about two million years ago, and ended sometime after the end of the last ice age about ten thousand years ago. During the Stone Age, Homo Habilis appeared. Some scientists believe that Homo Habilis did not know how to start a fire. Campfires were very useful to Homo Habilis since fire keeps most animals away, so a campfire would be watched carefully to keep it going.
Hypogeum of Ħal-Saflieni
The Hypogeum of Paola, Malta, (Ipoġew in Maltese) literally meaning "underground" in Greek, is a subterranean structure dating to the Saflieni phase (3000-2500 BC) in Maltese prehistory. Thought to have been originally a sanctuary, it became a necropolis in prehistoric times and the remains of more than 7,000 individuals have been found. It is the only known prehistoric underground temple in the world. It was discovered by accident in 1902 when workers cutting cisterns for a new housing development broke through its roof. First Level[edit] The first level is very similar to tombs found in Xemxija in Malta. Second Level[edit] Hal Saflieni The Sleeping Lady, Museum of Archaeology, Valletta, Malta This level features several apparently important rooms, such as the Main Room, the Holy of Holies, and the Oracle Room. The Main Chamber[edit] This chamber is roughly circular and carved out from rock. The Oracle Room[edit] The Oracle Room is roughly rectangular and one of the smallest side chambers.

Premiers indices de l’existence d’une ville vers le III° siècle avant J.C., au II° siècle elle est intégrée au royaume maurétanien, puis ce royaume est annexé par Rome en 40 et la ville se transforme sous les effets de la romanisation. Volubilis se situe à 400 m d’altitude, au pied du massif montagneux, le Zerhoun. La cité constitue l’élément le plus avancé du dispositif de défense de la province, elle est elle-même protégée par deux camps d’auxiliaires romains. Vue depuis le forum Cette photographie, prise du Forum, permet d’avoir une vue du site de Volubilis.

La romanisation d'une cité d'Afrique du Nord : Volubilis
Résumé Ce programme présente le site antique de Volubilis au Maroc. Capitale du roi Juba II de Maurétanie, la ville s'est progressivement romanisée sous l'effet de la colonisation romaine en l'an 40 avant J-C. Elle mêle des monuments typiquement romains, comme le Capitole et le Forum, à des édifices conservant un style plus indigène, comme l'arche de Caracalla. L'architecture et les décors des demeures nobles témoignent également du mélange des deux cultures.
