Without any knowledge of the magnetic compass invented by the Chinese during the Han dynasty, the Vikings developed their own methods of navigation to trade over long distances and establish settlements in the new lands. To navigate, the Vikings used horizon boards and sundials like the wooden disc found in…

They decry Hancock as a flagrant pseudo-archaeologist. This week, the Society for American Archaeology published an open letter to Netflix and the television production house ITN requesting that they re-classify its new series Ancient Apocalypse as a work of fiction rather than a docuseries. The show centers around bestselling author Graham Hancock’s meagerly substantiated claims about the existence of Atlantis, presenting them in a deceptive cloak of veracity. “We urge both Netflix and ITN Productions to add disclaimers to the series that its content is unfounded,” the society wrote. “We also request that Netflix develop a policy that balances such false narratives with the presentation of…

Speaking to Wired, Matt Ritchie, resident archaeologist at Forestry and Land Scotland said: “Perhaps they were for storage, such as grain in…

Wildlife workers are going to insert poisonous pesticides into a stream near Lake Michigan as they try to kill an invasive breed of ‘vampire fish’ that suck the blood out of other fish.

The phenomenon of one-eyed mutation in animals has been identified as a consequence of toxic substances as well as current environmental pollution. An animal born with only one eye is a genetic mutation that can cause death before or shortly after birth. Mono-orbital mutations occur mainly in mammals, which includes humans. According to scientific explanation, this deformity is caused by failure in the formation of the forebrain and nasal cavity. However, its root cause is still conjectured to be due to the harmful effects of toxins as well as increasing environmental pollution on Earth. From the one-eyed aquatic animal…This shark fetus was…
