Fascinating new discoveries about very early human cultural and technology development.

A Cultural Leap at the Dawn of Humanity New finds from Kenya suggest that humans used long-distance trade networks, sophisticated tools, and symbolic pigments right from the dawn of our species.

I was able to explore some of the Paris catacombs when I lived in France for a summer, parts of which were used by royalists to escape the revolution, or by rebels to keep away from the n***s. It's remarkable what hides beneath the surface of our cities, unknown by most.

Odessa Catacombs Largest catacomb system in the world.

“The tablet not only contains the world’s oldest trigonometric table; it is also the only completely accurate trigonometric table, because of the very different Babylonian approach to arithmetic and geometry. This means it has great relevance for our modern world. Babylonian mathematics may have been out of fashion for more than 3,000 years, but it has possible practical applications in surveying, computer graphics and education. This is a rare example of the ancient world teaching us something new.”

Mathematical secrets of ancient tablet unlocked after nearly a century of study Dating from 1,000 years before Pythagoras’s theorem, the Babylonian clay tablet is a trigonometric table more accurate than any today, say researchers

Always something new to discover. Keep looking.

Explorers Probing Deep Sea Abyss Off Australia's Coast Find Living Wonders A monthlong expedition into one of the deepest, least-documented places on the planet discovered hundreds of unknown species. The finds included a "faceless fish" undocumented there since 1873.

See? Math is fun!

Science! The headline is a little misleading, but this is a very important development. This lets scientists grow any type of tissue, not just heart, on a scaffold that has built in veins to allow essential blood supply to delicate new tissue.

Spinach Leaf Transformed Into Beating Human Heart Tissue Using the plant like scaffolding, scientists built a mini version of a working heart, which may one day aid in tissue regeneration.

This August we'll be just miles from adv event of a lifetime. Take August 21 off and drive just an hour north to be in the center of the path of a full solar eclipse.

There’s Only 7 Months Until the Great American Eclipse – Here’s How to Watch Get ready North America, the Great American Eclipse is only seven months away. On 21 August this year, the first total solar eclipse since 1979 will cast its shadow across the majority of the US.
