Thessaloniki, a lovely Greek port city, was the second-largest and richest city of the Byzantine Empire during the Roman era and a significant metropolis. “No man will be without a homeland, as long as Salonica exists,” wrote Nikephoros Choumnos, the Byzantine scholar and statesman (Grand Logothete) of Thessaloniki, as early as the 14th century A.D.

Incredible footage recently shared online captures the moment a baboon is spotted with a leopard cub. The unusual moment was caught on camera in the Pilanesberg Private Game Reserve in South Africa, where baboons and leopards are known to live and occasionally cross paths, though seeing something like this is quite rare. https://youtu.be/kq3Ax1gv0O4 44-year-old Paul Wood described the once-in-a-lifetime experience: “We were slowly heading back towards our lodge after an early morning game drive, when we came upon a large troop of baboons. We were enjoying the spectacle, as we hadn’t really had any good sightings of baboon on our…
Boston Teammates acknowledged the challenging situation they put Payton Pritchard in going into this season while praising his professionalism and preparedness. After the Malcolm Brogdon trade, the Celtic with the seventh-longest stay and a contribution to the NBA Finals was removed from the lineup. Pritchard hoped for a consistent role in his June exit interview and received the opposite. He didn’t play in seven of Boston’s first 10 games. Then, he averaged 16.3 minutes for five games while shooting 52.9%. Those swings continued throughout the first half of the schedule, and despite handling them admirably, Pritchard revealed in a Point Forward…

The Boston Celtics found themselves there once more against the Los Angeles Lakers after falling in overtime to the New York Knicks on Thursday night. LeBron James was furious after a non-call as he went for the game-winning layup after the Celtics tied it up with Jaylen Brown’s heroic free jumper at the line. On the attempt, Jayson Tatum made contact with his arm. With the score knotted 105-105 after regulation, the Celtics pulled away to end their three-game losing streak. https://youtu.be/veZTHnuljJE “The last two minutes and overtime was a blur,” said Jayson Tatum with a smile when asked about…
A live eagle cam captured a truly incredible (albeit gruesome) moment when an adult bald eagle brought a baby deer to the nest for the eaglets to feed on. This footage came to us via a live-streaming webcam trained on a bald eagle nest and family in Decorah, Iowa, which is broadcast on Exlore.org. These live eagle cams have captured some pretty amazing footage over the years. Click here to watch one such video, in which a sly fox attempted to get into a bald eagle nest… and got more than he bargained for! https://youtu.be/3Pj8VLkZkh8 Source: https://roaring.earth
Since Stephen Curry has always been praised for his scoring prowess rather than his playmaking, Draymond Green has been regarded as the team’s key playmaker. Green is a skilled ball-handler who exploits his high IQ to spot open spaces for his teammates. Even though Green is a good passer, he isn’t elite at the level of Luka Doncic or Nikola Jokic with his passing. As a result, fans were confused when a clip of Green seemingly passing Klay Thompson his untied shoe and Donte DiVincenzo the ball mid-play went viral. https://twitter.com/PlayoffDraymond/status/1619253011007819782?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1619253011007819782%7Ctwgr%5E50419e59a1f194056784fd5cb3cf91213075bf4f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffadeawayworld.net%2Fnba-media%2Fnba-fan-debunks-the-theory-that-draymond-green-threw-shoes-to-klay-thompson-and-a-pass-to-donte-divincenzo-at-the-same-time Fans have since debunked the passes being made by Green.

The ancient Egyptians held that once we pass away, our spiritual bodies look for a place to live in the afterlife that is just like this one. But entry into this afterlife wasn’t guaranteed; it first required a perilous journey through the underworld, followed by an individual last judgment. The Egyptian mummy Golden Boy. Credit: SN Saleem, SA Seddik, M el-Halwagy For this reason, relatives and embalmers did everything they could to ensure that their loved one might reach a happy destination. Scientists from Egypt have now used computerized tomography (CT) to “digitally unwrap” the intact, never-opened mummy of a 2,300-year-old teenage…
Incredible footage captures the moment a diver nearly lost his hand to a large, aggressive Humbolt squid. The diver, Steve Backshall of the BBC, stays calm at first, but soon loses his cool when the squid “pinches” his arm, puncturing through his wet suit with its powerful bite. The Humbolt squid (Dosidicus gigas), also known as jumbo squid, jumbo flying squid, pota, or diablo rojo (red devil), is a large, predatory squid found in the waters of the Humboldt Current in the eastern Pacific Ocean. These large squids have a reputation for being aggressive against humans, and its easy to…
In the NBA, officials have long been a contentious subject, but this season in particular feels like they are in the spotlight more than ever. The Golden State Warriors are aware of this because they have had a number of disputed calls and non-called this season. https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors/status/1602830794434543616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1602830794434543616%7Ctwgr%5E19c78c76093c0b713d730159565b75afca21220f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goldenstateofmind.com%2F2023%2F1%2F30%2F23577682%2Fdub-hub-daily-warriors-links-for-1-30-23-how-should-nba-deal-poor-officiating https://twitter.com/DaltonJ_Johnson/status/1616562489411633152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1616562489411633152%7Ctwgr%5E19c78c76093c0b713d730159565b75afca21220f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goldenstateofmind.com%2F2023%2F1%2F30%2F23577682%2Fdub-hub-daily-warriors-links-for-1-30-23-how-should-nba-deal-poor-officiating Over the weekend, officiating came under fire once again after a controversial non-call occurred at the end of regulation in the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.

La formation de Lameta, située dans la vallée de Narmada au centre de l’Inde, est bien connue pour ses fossiles de squelettes de dinosaures et d’œufs de la période du Crétacé supérieur qui a duré il y a environ 145 à 66 millions d’années. La présence de nombreux nids dans la même zone suggère que ces dinosaures ont présenté un comportement de nidification coloniale comme de nombreux oiseaux modernes.

L’ancienne tombe de la reine Nefetari, connue comme “la plus belle tombe d’Egypte”, possède une grandeur opulente ainsi qu’une histoire d’amour captivante. Tout le monde connaît l’énorme pyramide de Gizeh et l’énigmatique tombeau de Toutankhamon, ce dernier étant rapidement devenu l’un des sites les plus populaires de Louxor, la vallée des rois en Égypte. Mais juste à côté se trouve le tombeau de la reine Nefetari, moins connu mais tout aussi fascinant (QV66). Situé dans la vallée des reines moins visitée de Louxor, le lieu de repos de Nefetari est peut-être un peu moins connu que les rois. Cependant, on…

Le nombre de lieux historiques de notre monde dont la plupart des gens n’ont jamais entendu parler ou vus est stupéfiant. Lorsque nous pensons aux civilisations anciennes qui ont disparu, la plupart d’entre nous pensent aux vestiges archéologiques comme les pyramides d’Égypte ou peut-être le Grand Sphinx. Comme exemples de constructions circulaires en pierre, Stonehenge et Salisbury Plain en Angleterre viennent à l’esprit. Le Machu Picchu et le mur de Sacsayhuaman au Pérou sont deux exemples d’anciennes ruines sud-américaines. Sans oublier les anciens empires aztèques et mayas et les pyramides mésoaméricaines. Ceux qui connaissent mieux les civilisations anciennes perdues, ou…

A piece of opal from Java Island, Indonesia, holds some remarkable cargo: a stunningly preserved insect that may be at least four to seven million years old. Amber has long been prized for not only its lush, fiery hues but its elaborate contributions to Earth’s fossil record. As Vasika Udurawane writes for Earth Archives, the petrified tree resin starts out as a viscous liquid, slowly hardening over millions of years and preserving the entrapped remains of creatures that find themselves caught up in the process. Up to now, scientists have collected amber fossils featuring such lively scenes as a spider attacking a…
A jaguar’s reckless hunting trip in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka was filmed by tourists not long ago. The young jaguar suddenly rushed out and grabbed a young buffalo that had walked in the middle of the herd. It caught a calf in the middle of a dirt road right in front of a series of wild buffaloes and cars. However, the adult buffaloes gathered and prevented it from knocking down the calf immediately. The two sides struggled for a long time before the jaguar gave up. The large herd of wild buffaloes and the determination to rescue their fellow…
Tattoos can be applied for a variety of reasons and are expressive. These include reminding yourself of the important things in your life, honoring a loved one and your bond, or sharing your interests and passions. The beauty of tattoos is that they can be personalized to best reflect your preference, from simple and minimalist designs to detailed, photorealistic pieces. Choose images that are rich in symbolism, or use your body art for decorative purposes, giving you confidence and making you feel powerful. The placement of your tattoos is just as important as the design, and you can highlight the…
Instantly recognizable by the horrified, woeful expression on their upturned faces, stargazers are among the most fascinating (and frightening) fish in the ocean — capable of vacuuming up, electrocuting and delivering deadly venom to their enemies. The fish, named for the upward-facing eyes and gaping mouths located strategically at the top of their heads, are not much to look at. But their comical appearance belies a suite of deadly offense and defense strategies that make them surprisingly formidable predators. Stargazers forgo flash and showiness, choosing to spend most of their lives inconspicuously blending in with the ocean floor. Using their…

Un par de elefantes oportunistas se atiborraron de caña de azúcar cuando su camión se detuvo junto a las delicias en un cruce concurrido. Los gigantes del reino animal viajaban por Nakhon Sawan, en el norte de Tailandia , en un camión de carga pesada cuando se detuvo en un semáforo en rojo el sábado. Olfateando rápidamente su comida favorita, los elefantes sacaron las trompas y se ayudaron a sí mismos a los cultivos de un conductor cercano.
