Digging for answers in a cave filled with Neanderthal skeletons The Neanderthal skull, flattened by thousands of years of sediment and rock fall, in situ in Shanidar Cave, Iraqi Kurdistan. Photo by Graeme Barker/ University of Cambridge by Shayla Love  + BIO When a team of researchers returned to an Iraqi cave believed to be a Neanderthal burial site, here’s what they found The clumps of pollen found in the large cave in northern Iraq contained traces of hyacinth, bachelor’s button and hollyhock. These elements alone would not make your average pollen remarkable, but these clumps were found in the 1950s near 10 Neanderthal skeletal remains at Shanidar cave, in the Zagros Mountains. The US archaeologist Ralph Solecki, along with pollen analysts and palynologists (who study fossilised plant pollen) called the site they excavated the ‘Flower Burial’. In a series of papers and books published in the 1970s detailing their findings, they su...

The Knights were part the Crusades and based themselves in Jerusalem when the Pope’s forces overtook the city. The Templar made a fortune by escorting the rich to the Holy Land and other enterprises such as looting sacred sites. Their rise to power was between 1100 to 1300.

 WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Earth's Hidden Eighth Continent Is No Longer Lost Lost Continent of Zealandia Revealed in Detailed New Map Zealandia, considered the Earth’s eighth continent, was mostly lost to the sea. Geologists say they’ve now mapped the entire nearly two million square miles of the underwater land mass. A small international team of geologists and seismologists has created a newly refined map of Zealandia using data obtained from dredged rock samples recovered from the ocean floor. They report details in the journal Tectonics. Prior research has suggested that approximately 83 million years ago, the supercontinent Gondwana was pulled apart by geological forces, resulting in the beginnings of the continents that exist today. It also resulted in the creation of another continent that is now submerged. That continent, called Zealandia, is believed to be approximately 94% under the sea—the remaining 6% make up New Zealand and surrounding islands. Because...

So a broken heart is also a heart that is breaking open so that it becomes larger, so that it can hold more of the grief and the love and the joy and the pain of the whole cosmos.

That is yours to do. - Gordon White Tragedy : Kelly Fraser (August 8, 1993 – December 24, 2019) was a Canadian Inuk pop singer and songwriter, whose second album, Sedna, received a Juno Award nomination for Indigenous Music Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2018. Fraser died at her home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on December 24, 2019, by suicide.  The title of the album, known as ᓄᓕᐊᔪᒃ (Nuliaju) in Inuktitut, refers to the story of Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea , which Fraser decided to modernize in this album. (big mistake) She said, "The goal of the album is to help heal those suffering from the effects of colonization, including the damaging effects of residential school and forced relocation.  There is a great need for Inuit artists ...
