Hominids crossed the Mediterranean Sea much earlier than previously thought — before even Homo sapiens first appeared — which means these ancient humans must have learned how to sail nearly half a million years ago. The study prompts a shocking re-evaluation of an activity and a technology that seemed distinctly human. 

[...]

New research in the journal Quaternary International may shift the historical record significantly for when hominids, a group that includes primates including humans and our close relatives, first started sailing the sea north of Africa.

A walk in the Archaeological park of ancient Dion, Macedonia, Greece. The Hellenistic theatre has been recently renovated, beautiful news. Definitely, one of my most favourite places in Greece, perhaps less known than other attractions, yet emanating the vibes of mount Olympus, it is said that Orpheus was killed there by the furious maenads, a Dionysian worship is still felt today if someone is still open to such parallel realms. The greenery is another plus, green energy being rejuvenating for both body and soul.

“No human endeavor has been more associated with mystery than the huge, ancient lion that has a human head and is seemingly resting on the rocky plateau a stroll from the great pyramids. Fortunately for Lehner, it wasn’t just a metaphor that the Sphinx is a riddle. Little was known for certain about who erected it or when, what it represented and precisely how it related to the pharaonic monuments nearby. So Lehner settled in, working for five years out of a makeshift office between the Sphinx’s colossal paws, subsisting on Nescafé and cheese sandwiches while he examined every square inch of the structure. He remembers “climbing all over the Sphinx like the Lilliputians on Gulliver, and mapping it stone by stone.” The result was a uniquely detailed picture of the statue’s worn, patched surface, which had been subjected to at least five major restoration efforts since 1,400 B.C. The research earned him a doctorate in Egyptology at Yale.”

I'm really interested of topics like the Bermuda Triangle, Mermaids, Galaxies, Agartha, The Lost City of Atlantis, Area 51, and Ancient Civilizations. I’m also intrigued by the mysteries of the Dinosaur Age, Aliens, Time Travel, Greek Mythology, Reincarnation, and Creepy Stories. These subjects ignite my curiosity and raise countless questions about the unknown, unexplained phenomena, and what lies beyond our current understanding of reality.
