  by Shifra on May 16, 2016

  Some of the objects date back to the fourth century, while others are from the first and second century. Amazing! Via Israel National News. Two divers found an ancient treasure lurking in the harbor at Caesarea National Park, and after they informed the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) they returned with archaeologists to dive down and recover the ancient statues and coins from the depths.

• Pregnant T. rex Found, May Contain DNA

  by Tammy on April 29, 2016

  Gah! You know some mad scientist out there is going to want to clone it. That would be bad. Via Discovery. A pregnant Tyrannosaurus rex has been found, shedding light on the evolution of egg-laying as well as on gender differences in the dinosaur. The remains also could contain the holy grail of all dinosaur fossils: DNA. “Yes, it’s possible,” Lindsay Zanno told Discovery News, referring to genetic material that may be present in this as well as similar dinosaur finds. “We have some evidence that fragments of DNA may be preserved in dinosaur fossils, but this remains to be tested further.” What has been confirmed so far is that the T. rex, which was found in Montana and dates...

• Christian Cross Has No Place On Los Angeles County Seal, Judge Says

  by Tammy on April 7, 2016

  This is ridiculous. California was initially developed by the Spanish leaving it with a rich cultural and architectural history reflective of its founding, including beautiful missions throughout the state. But, of course, the left remains fixated on not just wiping away God from the public square but erasing our history, as well. I hope the county appeals. Via Los Angeles Times. In a long-awaited ruling, a federal judge has sided with plaintiffs who argued it was unconstitutional for Los Angeles County supervisors to place a Christian cross on the county seal. A divided Board of Supervisors voted in 2014 to reinstate the cross on top of a depiction of the San Gabriel Mission, which appears on the seal among other...

  by Tammy on April 7, 2016

  I love this story. Via Deutsche Welle. A rare First Folio has been discovered in Scotland, the University of Oxford announced on Thursday. A First Folio is a scarce collection of 36 of William Shakespeare’s plays published in 1623. It is not only in essence a “first edition,” of the Bard’s work but also the only reliable source for twenty of his most famous pieces, such as Macbeth and Julius Caesar. The tome was uncovered at Mount Stuart, a large manor house on the Isle of Bute off the western coast of Scotland. The find makes a total of 234 known copies of the First Folio in the world, with nearly all the others are held by libraries and available...

• Mummified Prehistoric Puppy Found, Scientist Wants to Clone

  by Tammy on March 20, 2016

  12,400 years old. They’ve determined this pre-historic Sydney is in fact a dog, not a wolf. But it does worry me about the their desire to clone. There’s a reason why certain creatures aren’t here anymore, and we should keep it that way. What do you think? Via the Telegraph. The remains of a 12,400 year old puppy have been found in permafrost in Siberia. This has given scientists and important and fascinating opportunity to examine a well-preserved Pleistocene canid for the first time. The puppy is thought to be the sibling of another whose remains were found in 2011. It is believed the creature was killed in a landslide, and then became mummified. The previous kind was in a...
