In Vietnam, World's Largest Cave Passage - Pictures, More From National Geographic magazine “Past the hand of dog, watch out for dinosaurs,” says a voice in the dark. I recognize Jonathan Sims’s clipped, British military accent but have no idea what he’s talking about. My headlamp finds him, gray muttonchops curling out from beneath his battered helmet, sitting alone in the blackness along the wall of the cave. “Carry on mate,” growls Sims. The two of us have roped across the thundering, subterranean Rao Thuong River and climbed up through 20-foot blades of limestone to a bank of sand. In the spring of 2009, Sims was a member of the first expedition to enter Hang Son Doong, or “mountain river cave,” in a remote part of central Vietnam. The trail disappears before me into a difficult pile of breakdown—building-size blocks of stone that have fallen from the ceiling and crashed onto the cave floor.
Ley-lines There are several developed theories on the purpose of ley-lines, many of which offer valid potential; something which in itself illustrates the complexity of unravelling the myriad of alignments from several millennia of activity. It is likely that ley-lines are a product of different elements from several of the following theories, being created at different times, for different purposes. The following examples are the current contenders for explaining how such a dedication to straight-lines has led mankind its present position. It is important to recognise the distinction between ley-lines and geometric alignments. Spirit ways and Death roads - (Funerary paths): Although there is little direct evidence for 'religious' worship in the modern sense of the word at megalithic sites, there is certainly evidence that funerary rites were involved at several important locations (some of which may be classed a secondary use).

The World's Biggest Cave National Geographic presents The World's Biggest Cave, a TV special that gives us a close-up look at Son Doong, a huge recently-discovered underground labyrinth in Vietnam. In 2009, a team of British cavers investigated a recently uncovered cave in a remote Vietnamese jungle. The Son Doong cave is enormous; can it be larger than the current world-record holder? The explorers traveled for miles through the cave before hitting a 46-foot-high wall. The special airs Monday, December 20th at 10PM EST. A half-mile block of 40-story buildings could fit inside this lit stretch of Hang Son Doong, which may be the world's biggest subterranean passage. Like a castle on a knoll, a rock formation shines beneath a skylight in Hang Son Doong. Navigating an algae-skinned maze, expedition organizers Deb and Howard Limbert lead the way across a sculpted cavescape in Hang Son Doong. Son Trach, Bo Trach District, Vietnam.

Researchers Discover New Lineage of Ancient Human DNA from a 40,000-year-old human finger bone found in a Siberian cave points to a new lineage of ancient human, researchers report today. The find—the first made with genetic, not fossil evidence—suggests that Central Asia was occupied at that time not only by Neandertals and Homo sapiens but also by a third, previously unknown hominin lineage. "This is the most exciting discovery to come from the ancient DNA field so far," says Chris Tyler-Smith, a geneticist at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, United Kingdom. The work complicates the human story once again, much as the discovery of the controversial H. floresiensis—a.k.a. the hobbit—has upset earlier and simpler views of early human migrations around the globe. A team led by archaeologists Michael Shunkov and Anatoli Derevianko of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk found the finger bone in 2008 at Denisova Cave in Russia's Altai Mountains. But who was this mystery hominin?
Amazing Metropolis Discovered in Africa is 200,000 years old! By Dan Eden for viewzone. They have always been there. People noticed them before. But no one could remember who made them -- or why? Until just recently, no one even knew how many there were. Something amazing has been discovered in an area of South Africa, about 150 miles inland, west of the port of Maputo. The image [top of page] is a close-up view of just a few hundred meters of the landscape taken from google-earth. This changed when researcher and author, Michael Tellinger, teamed up with Johan Heine, a local fireman and pilot who had been looking at these ruins from his years flying over the region. "When Johan first introduced me to the ancient stone ruins of southern Africa, I had no idea of the incredible discoveries we would make in the year or two that followed. Where it was found The area is significant for one striking thing -- gold. Did gold play some role in the dense population that once lived here? The individual ruins [see below] mostly consist of stone circles.

Skeleton Squadron « Ancient Shore La Galerie de paléontologie et d’anatomie comparée, Part 1 The Gallery of Comparative Anatomy, as seen from near the entrance ... After quite a long hiatus from posts about museum exhibits, this seemed like a good time to get back into the subject. We have visited some strange and wondrous museums in the past few months, but the strangest and most wondrous of all has to be this old museum close to the Gare d’Austerlitz in Paris. ... and from above. The Galerie de paléontologie et d’anatomie comparée opened for the 1900 Paris world’s fair, as did many other exhibit venues. The Jardin des Plantes is overseen by a statue of the famous biologist J.

Karmapolis Orphelins de laboratoire (par Liam Scheff) Pendant que des enfants meurent en direct à Besla devant les téléviseurs du monde entier, d’autres agonisent en silence entre les murs blancs d’une clinique, à l’abri des regards indiscrets. Pour ces orphelins séropositifs il n’y aura pas de couverture médiatique ou si peu. Un hebdomadaire, le New York Press, a néanmoins brisé le silence religieusement observé par la grande majorité des media sur la controverse des dissidents du SIDA en publiant un article décapant de Liam Scheff ; un journaliste engagé qui signe ici une enquête sur les études pharmacologiques menées à Washington sur des enfants abandonnés. Si les thèses des dissidents ou « rethinkers » sont maintenant bien connues, les milieux autorisés de la recherche sur le SIDA se gardent pourtant bien de répondre techniquement à leurs arguments qualifiés, au choix, de révisionnistes, conspirationnistes ou bio végétariens.
DICE Panel: "Exploring the Ocean Deep in 3D: To the Titanic And Beyond" Dr. David Gallo is the Director of Special Projects at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, more commonly known to the rest of the world as the group of people who found the Titanic. At first glance, it would seem odd to have an oceanographer talking at DICE, but surprisingly, there are gaming applications relevant to both the discovery of Titanic, and its continued existence. He pointed out that "If you're a good gamer with a joystick, then you're a perfect candidate for an ROV pilot. In many ways, it's like the ultimate game." So if you'ever ever dreamed of piloting a remotely-operated vehicle, all of that gaming you've been doing has been research. Does that mean World of Titanic is on the way? Here are some of the interesting facts from Dr. We've only explored 4% of the ocean. For more information, you can visit www.expeditiontitanic.com.
Les géoglyphes Nazca Les géoglyphes Nazca - Vu 8414 fois. Une archéologue américaine a récemment mis à jour un squelette en fouillant un site au sud du Pérou. Avez-vous déjà entendu parler des géoglyphes de Nazca ? Vous ne voyez peut-être pas où je veux en venir ? Nazca se situe au Pérou et c'est dans cette région que de grandes figures tracées à même le sol ont été découvertes. C'est également dans cette région que l'archéologue a fait la découverte de ce squelette, lui-même situé dans une tombe Nazca. Tout de suite, un 'détail' saute aux yeux de l'archéologue, Christina Conlee, il manque en effet le crâne. Les dessins et emblèmes présents sur les poteries de ce peuple correspondent aux géoglyphes de la région, on est donc certains que les Nazca en sont les artistes. Les Nazca vivaient dans un milieu aride et très sec, mais cela ne les empêchait pas d'être de très bon agriculteurs, ils savaient dominer la nature. Comment s'y prenaient-ils pour tracer leurs géoglyphes ? Complément : nazca 32 commentaire(s)
Thousands of New Stars Emerge in Glowing Nebula | Wired Science Thousands of young stars come to the fore in in this beautiful new image from the Spitzer Space Telescope. The previously unseen stars were born around 1,800 light-years from Earth in a region called the North American Nebula. In images that capture the same range of light that human eyes can see, the nebula looks like the eastern seaboard of the United States, down to the Gulf of Mexico. But most of that light is reflected off clouds of dust that hide infant stars. Only about 200 young stars were known before. This image breaks through the clouds to find more than 2,000 new objects that may be young stars. “One of the things that makes me so excited about this image is how different it is from the visible image, and how much more we can see in the infrared than in the visible,” said Spitzer astronomer Luisa Rebull in a press release. Stars are born inside collapsing balls of gas and dust, which flattens into a disk that spins together with the star like a record album. Images: 1.
Un Artefact mystérieux :un dodécaèdre romain qui empéche de dormir les scientifiques. Il a été appelé une arme de guerre, un chandelier, un jouet d'enfant, une jauge de temps, un instrument astronomique, et un symbole religieux - pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. Mais quel est ce mystérieux objet, ? Il ya des livres et de sites web entier qui cherche à résoudre cette énigme.Pourtant, la seule chose que les historiens s'accordent c'est sur un nom pour cette objet étrange: un dodécaèdre romain. Cette partie a été facile, car la forme mathématique de cet artefact est un dodécaèdre. Mieux décrit comme un objet en bronze ou en pierre géométriques, il a douze faces planes pentagonales, chacun avec un trou circulaire au milieu (pas nécessairement la même taille). Il est daté de quelque part autour de la IIe et IIIe siècles de notre ère, et a été fleurissent un peu partout en Europe. Mais son utilisation reste un mystère, surtout parce que les Romains qui, habituellement tenaient une comptabilité minutieuse ne font aucune mention de celui-ci dans les archives.
