5-Lost and Found
Here are some information about the things which have been lost long time ago,
but now are starting to appear....
(1) The White City of Gold
From
White City of Gold 6/3/2013
According to legend, The legend of El Dorado and the "Lost City of Gold"
has obsessed historians and explorers for almost five hundred years. "Ciudad
Blanca" or the "White City" is full of gold and has been sought out
by explorers and treasure hunters since conquistador Hernando Cortes first made
reference to it in a 1526 letter to King Charles V of Spain. Texts cite it as the
birthplace of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl and previous reported sightings over the
years have described golden idols and elaborately carved white stones, leading to
the lost city's name. However, no confirmation of the existence of the city has ever
been provided.
We may never be able to tell whether any of these are Ciudad Blanca, or whether the
legendary city ever existed, but we can clearly see in the UTL data evidence that
there was a densely settled region with a human modified environment. These conclusions
provide important new insights into the pre-Hispanic settlement of this largely
unexplored region. Text's cite it as the birthplace of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl and
previous reported sightings over the years have described golden idols and elaborately
carved white stones, leading to the lost city's name.
10,000 Years Old Mammoth Frozen Blood Found: Cloning Planed
From
Mammoth Blood 6/3/2013
It’s not April Fool’s, is it? Scientists working on an island in Siberia
have announced that they found a frozen woolly mammoth carcass estimated to
be at least 10,000 years old and, more shockingly, liquid mammoth blood. The
finding seems to defy reason, because conditions in the Lyakhovsky Islands,
off the northern coast of Siberia, were quite cold - in the low teens
Fahrenheit. But when one of the researchers poked at the carcass with an ice
axe, blood squirted out. “It can be assumed that the blood of mammoths had
some cryo-protective properties,” said Semyon Grigoriev, chairman of the
university’s Museum of Mammoths and head of the expedition. “The blood is
very dark, it was found in ice cavities below the belly and when we broke
these cavities with a pick, the blood came running out.” The Russians are
calling the female, who was 50 to 60 years old when she died, the best
preserved mammoth specimen in the history of paleontology. Their theory is
that she fell into water, died, and was protected when it froze.
