One of 17 decapitated bodies found in an ancient Roman cemetery. The cemeteries held the burial of 52 people, and 17 beheaded bodies including 9 men and 8 women and all were over 25 years old at the time of death, a team of researchers reported in an article published online May 19 in the British journal Britannia. In many cases, the heads of the decapitated people were buried next to their feet and the pottery was placed in the position where their heads would normally have been. Some bodies were also laid face down in their graves. Researchers believe that those who were beheaded were executed. They note that the number of criminals in Roman law increased dramatically during the third and fourth centuries, around the time these skeletons were buried. Remains of archaeological evidence shows that the Roman army used Knobb’s farm as a supply center and they would take strict action if there was any violation. “During the third and fourth centuries, the penalties imposed under Roman law became more and more severe. The number of criminals applying the death penalty increased from 14 at the beginning of the third century to about 60 by Constantine’s death in 337 AD,” The researchers have noted that security concerns are one of the reasons for the increase in the death penalty. During the third and fourth centuries, there were many civil wars in the Roman Empire, many of which were fought to be crowned emperor. Despite the possibility of execution, individuals were still buried with ceramic pots and in some cases placed in coffins. Isabel Lisboa, the archaeologist who led the excavation, said: ‘A beheaded woman had the richest collection of tombstones, buried with two urns and a coal bead necklace. Pipe coal is a type of coal that is easy to glow. Under Roman law, family and friends could demand that the body of an executed criminal be returned for burial. Those executed were likely not slaves, as slaves had no status and likely would not have been buried. Scholars argue Even so, Simon Cleary, emeritus professor of Roman Archeology at the University of Birmingham in the UK, said: “What we know of the sites of Roman judicial executions suggests that they are mainly in cities and towns and have a deterrent effect. Knobb’s ranch is not near any major towns or cities.” Cleary adds that a law made by the emperor in Rome is difficult to enforce in a remote place. It is possible that these people were executed but Roman law may have nothing to do with why they were killed. By the fourth century, the Roman army had for centuries become a draconian rule, with no way back for the common man, says Cleary. Why most of the burials of decapitated people in the Roman Empire occurred in Britain is unclear. Roman Britain can be really weird at times, especially in its treatment of the dead, there are plenty of ritual practices other than beheading or burial that to our eyes look eerie. . To people’s eyes at the time, they could be completely conceivable.” Other scholars have also expressed doubt that Roman law had much to do with the burial of the decapitated. Caroline Humfress, director of the Institute for Constitutional and Legal Studies at St. Andrews in Scotland, said: “I personally think it is very unlikely that the executions on Knobb’s farm were related to Roman legal processes.” “If they have a judicial context, it’s more likely to be localized and involve executions carried out without trial,” Humfress said. However, other scholars argue that these people could have been executed according to Roman law. “The official execution seems to be the best explanation for the Knobb Ranch cases,” said Judith Evans Grubbs, a professor of Roman history at Emory University in Atlanta. He noted that women in the Roman Empire were often the target of accusations of witchcraft and adultery, both of which could have been considered crimes by the Romans.

Accordingly, scientists studied and analyzed two of 15 ancient tombs discovered in the 1920s at the Valsgärde farm, on the outskirts of the city of Uppsala, central Sweden. Specifically, two ancient tombs are the resting place of two warriors from the 7th century. They were buried in boats with helmets, shields and elaborately decorated weapons, even with puzzle pieces. play. The boats carrying the remains of the two warriors were about 9m long each, with 4-5 pairs of oars. Warrior helmet… and elaborately decorated weapons found in ancient tombs. The remains of the two warriors were laid on a soft mattress, stuffed with the feathers of various birds. Researchers believe that the ancients prepared these items in the hope that the journey to the afterlife of the deceased would be easier. Microscopic analysis showed that the feathers in the mattress were taken from geese, ducks, partridges, crows, sparrows, wading birds (swamp birds) and even eagle owls. More strangely, in a grave, there is an Eurasian card owl with its head cut off. Horse bones and other animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, snowy owls, partridges, ducks, geese, and northern pike) were also found near the boats when they were buried about 1,400 years ago. There are also animal-related artifacts, including 20 horseshoes, one saddle, four bridles, and 4-5 dog leashes. “The warriors seem to be equipped to sail to the afterlife, and can also go ashore with the help of horses. We guessed that the choice of down blankets could have a deeper, more symbolic meaning,” said Professor Birgitta Berglund of the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim, Norway. Feathers are used to make blankets for the dead. Various animals and related artifacts were buried with the boat. According to Norse folklore, the stuffed feathers in bedding for the dying are very important. Professor Berglund explained, the ancients believed that using feathers of domestic chickens, owls, birds of prey, pigeons, crows and squirrels would help prolong the time of “fighting” with death. “In some parts of the Scandinavian Peninsula, goose feathers are considered the best item to help the soul escape from the body,” he points out. The soft feathers in the Valsgärde tombs, the oldest known to have been found in Scandinavia, suggest that the two warriors belonged to the highest class of Iron Age society there. Wealthy Greeks and Romans had been bedridden for hundreds of years before that, but the rich in Europe probably didn’t use it widely until the Middle Ages, Mr. Berglund said. Mr Berglund believes that the decapitated owl was related to the burial ritual. The keeping of birds of prey like eagle owls has long been a status symbol, according to the researchers. “It’s possible that the owls’ heads were cut off to prevent it from coming back,” said the professor, referring to the swords bent in front of the Viking-era mausoleum to prevent the dead from using weapons should they return from the realm of the dead. died. Dead warriors are well-equipped for the journey to the afterlife. Valsgärde began to be excavated in 1928 by archaeologists from the Uppsala University Museum today. More than 90 tombs from the Iron Age were discovered here, including 15 warriors buried by boat burial from the late Iron Age (570–1030 AD). The two tombs that have been the focus of new research are named Valsgärde 7 and 8, both dating to the 7th century. According to Professor Berglund, Valsgärde 7 was excavated in 1933, while Valsgärde 8 was excavated. in 1936. In addition to revealing Iron Age burial rituals, the new study also determines whether feathers used as blankets for warriors were imported or sourced from local birds. If it was imported feathers, this would open the door to a certain historical trade route. Study co-author, biologist Jørgen Rosvold, from the Norwegian Institute of Natural History (NINA), said that making the feather material is time-consuming and challenging for several reasons. “I am still amazed at how well the feathers are preserved despite the fact that they have been lying in the ground for more than 1,000 years,” he said. Research results show that feathers are obtained from different types of birds locally, not through import. “The feathers provide new perspectives on past relationships between humans and birds. Archaeological excavations rarely find traces of birds other than those used for food,” concluded Berglund.

Archaeologists survey Loong Cha cave, Chiem Hoa district. (Source: nhandan.vn) Over the past three decades, successive important archaeological discoveries have confirmed that Tuyen Quang is the land of survival of primitive people. According to Associate Professor-Dr. Trinh Nang Chung (Institute of Archeology, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences), so far, nearly 30 stone age relics have been discovered in Tuyen Quang, along with thousands of objects. very precious thing. This is a block of historical documents in kind to help historians reconstruct the life and culture of Cistercian Tuyen Quang. The process of excavating relics and statistics, diverging based on relics shows that, typically in the late Paleolithic period, dating from about 20,000 years ago today at 2 monuments: Temple Thuong hill (District 1, district 1, Binh Duong province). Chiem Hoa) and Goc Heo relic (Ham Yen district). Archaeologists have discovered many labor tools of the ancients, mainly made of pebbles, hewn, on the steps of the Co River, Lo River, and Gam River. Associate Professor-Dr. Trinh Nang Chung emphasized, along the Lo and Gam rivers, traces of prehistoric people here are definitely still many. Primitive man always strengthen the community closely with bonds of affection and responsibility from generation to generation. The development of ancient inhabitants Tuyen Quang The ancient Vietnamese in particular and the ancient Vietnamese in general were always associated with building beautiful and great things in this homeland. From here the dawn of the nation’s history always opens up new horizons, more civilized and more brilliant. In the early Neolithic period, there is typically Phia Vai cave dating from about 10,000 years ago. The hewn tools in Phia Vai are made quite simply, bearing the traditional style of the late Paleolithic period – Son Vi type and technique. The above similarity is probably traditional, but obviously Phia Vai is not a Son Vi site. The discovery of traces of primitive times dating back 20,000 years ago marked the earliest human presence in Tuyen Quang as well as in Vietnam. It is the first pages of history that opened the way for the exploration and occupation of the lands our ancestors used to live today. On the other hand, the study of Tuyen Quang prehistory has contributed a lot to precious archeological documents and real artifacts in the study of the history of formation and development of the Vietnamese nation. Associate Professor-Dr. Nguyen Lan Cuong (Vietnam Archaeological Association) said that the earliest but most valuable relic is Phia Muon cave. This is an archaeological site in the land of Na La village, Son Phu commune, Na Hang district. Scientists have discovered cultural layers belonging to Hoa Binh culture, including finely crafted stone tools and burial tombs, dating from about 3,500-4,500 years ago. Discovered a unique set of remains in Southeast Asia According to Associate Professor-Dr. Nguyen Lan Cuong (Vietnam Archaeological Association), in 2005, for the first time, archaeologists discovered a human skeleton at Phia Vai cave. According to initial assessment, this is an intact buried remains, not a reburied skeleton, also a typical and unique set of remains in Southeast Asia. In 2006, archaeologists sawed off the top plaster sarcophagus to obtain this priceless 10,000-year-old semi-fossil skeleton. This set of remains is believed to be the remains of a woman who died in the supine position, with her knees bound, her arms stretched out. Although the skeleton has only the head intact with a high degree of fossilization, the body and hands, the shin bones are almost gone, but based on the position of the talus (a small bone connecting the ankle and heel) and The left heel bone is located close to the hip pelvis, experts conclude that this burial position is one of the familiar burial postures of cultural residents of Hoa Binh, Da But, Quynh Van… In particular, the mourning of putting sea snails in the eyes of the deceased has provided archaeologists with the evolutionary process of the human race. Besides, the skull shape of this remains is a round skull completely different from the long skull of Hoa Binh cultural residents. While the Phia Vai relic is dated to Hoa Binh culture, placing sea snails in the eyes of the dead also changes archaeologists’ opinion of the Phia Vai inhabitants compared to other ancient populations in the area. zoned by distinctive features. Associate Professor-Dr. Nguyen Lan Cuong emphasized, looking back at the ancient skulls belonging to Hoa Binh culture that have been studied such as the cashew roof, Nuoc rock roof (Thanh Hoa province), Can cave, Chim cave, and Muoi cave. Hoa Binh province) and Nguom rock roof (Thai Nguyen province), archaeologists have never encountered this case. Ancient skulls of similar age discovered in Southeast Asia also do not show how to place snails in eye sockets. It can be said that Phia Vai is an early Hoa Binh relic, however, the issue of dating Phia Vai cave site will continue to be considered. The semi-fossil animal remains found at Phia Vai show the history of humans at the transition from Canh Tan to Toan Tan in Vietnam. In addition, relics such as graves, stone relics … help us understand more about burial customs and spiritual life of prehistoric inhabitants. Associate Professor-Dr. Trinh Nang Chung said that this is also an extremely important finding in many aspects. In terms of paleontology, this is the first ancient human skeleton discovered in Tuyen Quang province. In terms of thinking and spirituality, it is possible that the people of the Hoa Binh culture period here had the idea that death means entering a “new life”, the Phia Vai woman also needs two eyes. The excavations and research works of archaeologists have returned to history many things that time has buried deep in the earth, all archaeological evidences have proven man himself in the conquest. thousands of changes of nature have sketched the first vestiges of his community.

Haunting collection Mysterious giant skeleton. Part of the oldest medical school in the US – the Philadelphia College of Medicine, the Mutter Museum first opened in 1849, possessing many specimens, models, and ancient medical devices that no one else has. unexpected and a large collection of books entitled “The Library of Historical Medicine”. Most of the more than 20,000 specimens on display here are full of horror and haunting, but attractive, attracting viewers because of their mystery. The museum boasts more than 3,000 skeletal specimens, including skeletons and skulls, 1,500 specimens of nearly every part of the body, and the oddest assortment of cysts or tumors. Attracting many visitors is the display of slices of Albert Einstein’s brain; the plaster liver and torso of the famous Thai conjoined twins, Chang and Eng Bunker; a malignant tumor was removed from the palate of President Grover Cleveland; a chest tissue sample of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln; a brain fragment of Charles J. Guiteau, the assassin of President James A. Garfield; and the corpse of the “Soap Lady”, with a layer of fat all over her body, making her look like she was made of soap. In addition, there is a giant colon of a person weighing 18 kg, the widest point is 76cm in diameter, the product of Hirschsprung disease; a wall decorated with 40 sick and traumatized eyeballs; another wall of deformed, deformed skulls, otherwise known as the “Hyrtl Skull Collection”; two-headed human fetus at different stages of development; and a collection of books bound in human skin… Mysterious Skeleton It is thought that this individual was male, probably between 22 and 24 years old at the time of death and had lived in Kentucky. There is evidence that he suffered from acromegaly, which causes abnormal growth of his hands, feet, and face. Characteristics, as well as some indications that this person was bedridden for some time before his death. No one knows these things better, so there’s a lot of debate so far. One of the biggest mysteries at the museum is probably the skeletons. In addition to the skeletons of dwarves, deformed monsters, there is also a specimen called the “American Giant”, which is purposefully placed between the normal-sized human skeleton and the skeleton of a dwarf. . This is the tallest skeleton, 2.28m, belonging to an individual on display in North America. If the spine had no abnormal curvature, this person’s actual height would be more than that. It’s an impressive specimen indeed, but the story of the skeleton’s appearance and true identity remains shrouded in mystery. In 1877, a Professor named AE Foot approached the museum and said there was a giant skeleton for sale in Kentucky. This information caught the interest of Professor Joseph Leidy, who wanted to buy it for the museum. Oddly enough, Foot set the condition that, for the sale to go smoothly, the buyer must not question the origin of the skeleton or why it was sold. This all sounds shady, but Leidy wanted it, needed it, had to have it, so he agreed and went ahead with the deal. So the “American Giant” came to the Mutter Museum, making everyone amazed and amazed so far. Looking for the truth One theory is that this is the remains of a man named James Toller of Huntington, England. Also known as the “Enyesbury Giant”, Toller was 2.47m tall and died at the age of 23. Rumor has it that he was buried under a church and when the church was restored in the 1870s, someone stole the body and brought it to America to sell. At that time, grave stealing was a lucrative business, and corpses were often dug up and sold to medical facilities without being questioned. The problem is that Toller is much taller than the “American Giant” so this hypothesis is difficult to stand. According to another theory, the giant skeleton belongs to a young man named John M. Baker of Caldwell County, Kentucky, who died in 1861 at the age of 20. He is from the same state where the skeleton is for sale, the height is also estimated at 2.28m, so he is said to be the owner of the controversial skeleton. Some even suggested that it was an unusually large inmate in East Bethany-Genesee County, New York state, known simply as “Roy”. If he died in captivity, it could be the subject of nefarious attempts to cash in on his massive skeleton. The problem is, no one is sure how tall Roy really is, and it’s been suggested that he may have died after the “American Giant” skeleton became museum property. The “American Giant” may also be an unknown oversized person, but with people of this size often famous and difficult to live in complete anonymity. Cross-examination of giants who have died over a specified period of time is not difficult, but more than a century later, no one knows who the Mutter Museum’s “American Giants” are. The mystery is still a mystery.

Statue of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Photo: AFP. The figure of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, possibly the father of King Tutankhamun, has been digitally recreated. The remains were found in 1907 in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt in tomb KV55, not far from Tutankhamun’s tomb. More than a century after the tomb was discovered, genetic analysis indicated the skeleton inside belonged to King Tutankhamun’s biological father. From other clues in the tomb, archaeologists believe that this remains is Akhenaten, a pharaoh who reigned from 1353 to 1335 BC and was the first pharaoh in Egypt to worship monotheism. However, some experts oppose these conclusions. They believe that the true identity of this remains cannot be definitively concluded. Re-identification of the remains took many months by scientists at the Research Center for Forensic Anthropology, Paleontology, and Archeology (FAPAB) in Sicily, Italy. The experts collaborated with Cicero Moraes – a Brazilian 3D forensic artist known for facial reconstruction. Unlike previous iterations of the KV55, the new model removes hair, jewelry, and other makeup to focus on facial features. King Akhenaten’s face has been recreated digitally. Photo: FAPAB . Research Center Akhenaten ascended the throne as Amenhotep IV, which means “Servant of Aten” – an Egyptian sun god. He then began to eliminate the priesthood of serving the gods of Egypt in order to establish a monotheistic creed of Aten, according to the Ohio State University Department of History. Archaeologists found KV55 in the tomb with bricks engraved with the incantation named Akhenaten. Another coffin contains the remains of a woman named Kiya, identified as Akhenaten’s concubine, and round jars containing the mummy’s organs, FAPAB announced on March 10. KV55 was mummified, but the preserved meat decomposed during excavation, leaving only the skeleton. Based on the objects in the tomb and the sex of the skeleton, some archaeologists conclude this person is Akhenaten. However, analysis of teeth and bones revealed that the man was younger than expected. This man died around the age of 26, possibly even between the ages of 19 and 22, while according to records, Akhenaten ruled Egypt for 17 years and had a daughter in the first year of his reign. . Francesco Galassi, director and co-founder of the FAPAB Research Center and an associate professor of archaeology at Flinders University in Australia, said: “Some archaeologists are inclined to suggest that Akhanaten began to reign as a young man. a young man rather than a child. For this reason, many attempts have been made to prove that KV 55 is older than the actual anatomical index.” Other experts suggest that the KV55 could be Akhenaten’s younger brother Smenkhkare, but there is little evidence that such a brother exists, Galassi said. Today, Smenkhkare is often thought to be not a real person, but an identity of Queen Nefertiti, who may have taken this name when she ascended the throne following Akhenaten’s death. Galassi says this will effectively rule out the “little brother” hypothesis for KV55. Genetic analysis indicates that KV55 is the son of Amenhotep III and the father of King Tutankhamun, providing further evidence for the theory that the remains are of King Akhenaten, according to a study published in 2010 in the journal JAMA . This conclusion is not without controversy, however, as the genetic data of Egyptian mummies can be “complicated” because inbreeding within families was a common practice during the Egyptian dynasties. Ancient Egyptian. A FAPAB representative said that a more detailed report on the reconstruction of the KV55’s identity will be published in 2021.

Archaeologists have accidentally found female skeletons from hundreds of years ago at the bottom of the lake In ancient China, the status of women was very low. The ancient doctrine of “three submissions” comes from the book “Rite – mourning” by Boc Thuong. In the book, it is written that “at home, follow the father, when married, follow the husband, the husband follows the son” (At home, follow the father, marry, follow the husband, the husband dies with the children). Simply from this point of view, it can be seen that a woman is completely dependent, has no autonomy, can only obey her father, husband and son. The higher the status of men, the lower the status of women in the old society. They are only considered as a tool to give birth, not allowed to read books, only “take, exam, exam, draw” is enough because these abilities can be used to please men and become men. famous women. Ancient society had a mindset that limited women’s abilities. They even firmly believe that “A woman without any talent is a virtue”. This idea is so deeply ingrained that many women at the present time still agree with it. In “The Commandments of Women”, Ban Co once mentioned this point of view: “Men consider strength to be a precious thing, women take weakness to make beauty”. To a certain extent, this saying reflects Ban Co’s prejudice against women. She believes that women only go up to do things within the rules, but men must be stronger than women. In such a society, women are naturally subject to a lot of oppressive rules. If you do something wrong, you will face a great tribulation. We have to talk about these things today, because at the bottom of a lake in Guangdong, the bodies of many women have been found. After the archaeologists conducted investigative research, they also came to a conclusion about an extremely cruel fact in history. Women have almost no status in feudal society Every country has its own supreme basic principles named law. It not only limits people’s words and deeds, but can also be a powerful weapon for people to protect themselves, the key to helping society to be harmonious and stable. However, in ancient times, the law was not quite like that. Many of the provisions set forth in the ancient laws were cruel and draconian, imposing cruel punishments on prisoners, there were various types of death sentences, and more and more tortures. For women without status in ancient times, the punishments were even harsher. There are even punishments specifically designed to deal with women only, many of which involve the use of corporal punishment. Because of her low status, women always have to accept all their mistakes. Emotional misbehavior is all about women. For example, if a woman is close to men other than her husband, it will be considered a violation of her virginity and imprisonment, and the most serious of all types of punishment is imprisonment in a pig cage. In the past, a woman’s virginity was the most important thing, so if many people wanted to slander or harm a woman, attacking from this aspect would be a fatal knife. The punishment for this is to put the woman in a bamboo pig cage, then dump a lot of rocks and drown her in the water until she dies. Confinement in a pig cage is the heaviest punishment. Women who are no longer virgins will be dealt with in this way. Therefore, the bamboo cages originally used to carry pigs are called “soaked pig cage” is for this reason. Blue Cave Lake in Guangdong is very famous and is loved by many people to visit and explore because under the lake there are many extremely strange caves. By chance, a diver while exploring found a lot of skeletons on the bottom of the lake. The man panicked and went ashore and called the police. When police arrived at the scene to collect the bones, they discovered that the skeletons were more than a hundred years old. So they contacted archaeologists and asked them to send experts to survey the site. After experts arrived and examined them, they confirmed that these were the remains of women from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Experts have also discovered that these women are all locked in feudal pig cages. However, after the establishment of the Republic of China, this punishment was gradually abolished. The notion that men despise women is also decreasing, and more and more women in society protect their legitimate rights and interests, flourishing in many fields.

The image of an article by Sheng Kinh Times shared about the event that the dragon fell on Yingkou. (Photo from Sohu) In “Yingkou City Chronicle” (of China Book Publishing House) and “History of Yingkou” (by Heilongjiang People’s Publishing House) both mentioned this strange incident. According to the records in it, in the summer of 1934, in Yingkou suddenly appeared heavy rain for 40 days in a row. Heavy rains caused the water of the Lieu River to rise rapidly and turned the reed swamp on the north bank of the river into a vast body of water. After the rain stopped, the people living here discovered a giant dragon trapped in the reeds. At that time, people believed that dragons coming down from the sky were a good omen. Fearing that the dragon would die, many people knitted reeds into sunshades and poured water over the dragon to prevent it from drying out. Many monks and people came to pray and pray until there was another long rain and the dragon disappeared. More than 20 days later, this dragon reappeared in the reeds 10km from the mouth of the Lieu River. However, this time, the dragon was no longer a living being but dead, the flesh beginning to rot with an unpleasant fishy odor. After that, the city’s 6th police station came to decompose and bring the dragon’s skeleton to an empty land near the West Sea estuary for people to admire for a few days. The “Tinh Kinh Times” at that time reported on this event. As a result, a large number of curious people from the three northeastern provinces took the train to Yingkou. At that time, train tickets to and from Yingkou both increased rapidly and were extremely scarce. The image is said to be the skeleton of a dragon. (Photo from Qulishi) The article in Thinh Kinh also shared that the dragon was stranded in a hole 17m long, 8m wide, on the wall of the crater there were very clear claw marks. It has 2 horns on its head and 4 claws on its belly. This description is quite similar to the records in the “Chronicles of Yingkou City” in terms of length and detail with horns on the head. In addition, this book also said that the dragon has up to 29 dorsal vertebrae. According to the book, the dragon’s skeleton was made into a specimen and delivered to Yingkou Fisheries High School for display. CCTV came in and the truth was unexpected Since the arrival of the true dragon in Yingkou, this story has attracted many media coverage over the years. Many mixed opinions have been given and all want the truth about this story to be revealed soon. But it wasn’t until 2004, when the “Into Science” column of China Central Television’s CCTV 10 channel gave the audience a satisfactory answer about the dragon’s fall. So at Doanh Khau. From a scientific point of view, the program editors made a documentary titled “The solution to the mystery of 70 years ago” based on reports from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Realistic image of baleen whale bones. (Photo from Sohu) In the end, with the collected documents and evaluation results, the conclusions of the editorial team and experts in the film made everyone completely surprised. Accordingly, the fact that the dragon descended in Yingkou is just a legend handed down for more than 70 years from 1934 to 2004. In fact, the animal stranded in the reeds on the banks of the Liao River that year was just a one baleen whale giant. And that picture of a cactus with two horns was misplaced. That so-called dragon horn actually refers to the lower jaw bone of the whale. So after many years of controversy, the case of dragons falling at Yingkou has finally come to a conclusion, although many people still think that CCTV’s assessment is not satisfactory.

Located in the town of Czermna, Poland, the Kaplica Czaszek church is known as the world famous human skeleton church. Outside the Kaplica Czaszek church looks like many other structures. However, inside this unique church is decorated with more than 3,000 human skeletons. These thousands of human skeletons belong to those who died in war or died of disease in the 1600s – 1700s. These human skeletons are arranged as a work of art that makes many people feel cold when looking at them. In it, skull and leg bones are meticulously arranged on the ceiling and on the wall. The remaining bones are placed behind a secret door in the crypt at the foot of the church. Father Vaclav Tomasek is the one who arranges thousands of skeletons in the Kaplica Czaszek church. He came up with the idea of ​​decorating the church with human bones when he visited makeshift graves and sketchy memorials for soldiers and civilians who died of wars and epidemics. Therefore, priest Vaclav Tomasek collected the remains and brought them back to the Kaplica Czaszek church to clean and arrange them on the walls and ceiling. Father Vaclav Tomasek completed the decoration of the Kaplica Czaszek church with human bones between 1776 and 1804. After the death of priest Vaclav Tomasek in 1804, his remains were also placed on the altar before God in the Kaplica Czaszek church. In the following decades, the Kaplica Czaszek church became a world famous tourist destination when decorated with unique “masterpieces” of human bones.

The Egyptian pyramids are a giant structure in the middle of the desert and can be seen from extraterrestrial satellites. Building these pyramids was certainly a huge task, so who did it? The pyramids could not have been built by Jewish slaves, as no archaeological remains that can be directly related to the Jews have been found in Egypt dating to 4,500 years ago, when the needles Giza pyramids were built, archaeological research has revealed. Also, the story told in the Hebrew Bible about the slavery of the Jews in Egypt refers to a city called “Ramesses.” A city called pi-Ramesses was founded during the 19th dynasty (circa 1295-1186 BC) and named after Ramesses II, who ruled 1279-1213 BC. This city was built after the pyramid construction period ended in Egypt. Furthermore, no archaeological evidence has been found of the lost city of Atlantis for any length of time, and many scholars believe the story to be fictitious. For aliens, this idea is said to be impossible. In fact, Egyptologists say, all the evidence suggests that the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. However, how the pyramid builders lived, how they were rewarded and how they were treated is still a mystery that researchers are still investigating. The pyramids and the people who built them Egypt has over 100 ancient pyramids, but the most famous include the first-order pyramid, built during the reign of pharaoh Djoser (circa 2630-2611 BC) and the first real pyramid. was built during the rule of pharaoh Snefru (circa 2575-2551 BC). The Great Pyramid was built at Giza during the reigns of pharaoh Khufu (circa 2551-2528 BC), and two of his successors, Khafre (circa 2520-2494 BC) and Menkaure (c. 2490-2472 BC), there are also pyramids built at Giza. The pharaohs gradually stopped building pyramids during the New Kingdom (1550-1070 BC), choosing instead to be buried in the Valley of the Kings, about 483 km south of Giza. Over the past few decades, archaeologists have found new evidence that provides clues as to who the pyramid builders were and how they lived. Surviving records, including papyri manuscripts discovered in 2013 at Wadi al-Jarf on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, suggest that large groups of workers helped bring the materials to Giza. The papyri found at Wadi al-Jarf tells of a group of 200 men led by an inspector named Merer. This group of workers moved the stones by boat along the banks of the Nile, 18km from the Great Pyramid at Tura, where the stones were used to build the pyramid’s outer layer. Egyptologists have previously theorized that the pyramid builders were largely done by seasonal farmers, times of the year when there was little agricultural work to do. The papyri detailing the pyramid’s history is still in the process of being deciphered and analyzed, but the results indicate that the group led by Merer did more than help build the pyramid. These workers appear to have traveled through much of Egypt, possibly as far as the Sinai desert, carrying out many of the construction projects and tasks assigned to them. This raises the question of whether they are part of a permanent professional force, rather than a group of seasonal agricultural workers who will return to their fields. Pyramid builder treatment? According to Pierre Tallet, a professor of Egyptology at the University of Paris-Sorbonne in France, who is deciphering papyri manuscripts and co-leader of the team that found them, the workers were given a diet that included scrubs. is, vegetables, poultry and meat. In addition to a healthy diet, the papyri manuscript describes members of the working group regularly receiving textiles, which could have been seen as a reward at the time. In addition, officials in senior positions involved in the construction of the pyramids may have received land grants, said Mark Lehner, director of the Association for Ancient Egyptian Studies (AERA), a Massachusetts-based research institute. Historical records show that there were times in Egyptian history when officials were granted land. However, it is not known whether the land-granted officials were involved in the construction of the pyramid. Lehner’s team was excavating a town in Giza that was inhabited and frequented by several workers who were building the Menkaure pyramids. So far, archaeologists have found evidence that the ancient inhabitants of this town once baked large quantities of bread, slaughtered thousands of animals and brewed large quantities of beer. Based on animal bones found at the site, and considering the nutritional needs of workers, archaeologists estimate that about 1,800 kilograms of animals, including cattle, sheep and goats, were slaughtered on average. average daily, to provide food for workers. The remains of the workers were buried in the tombs near the pyramid, showing that the workers had healed their bones. This shows that they have access to medical care that is available at the time. The rich diet of the pyramid builders, combined with evidence of medical care and receiving textiles… has led Egyptologists to generally agree that workers did not must be slaves. However, this does not mean that all workers have equal accommodation. AERA excavations show that some of the more senior officials lived in large houses and had the best cuts of meat. In contrast, Lehner suspects, lower-level workers may have slept in simple houses or “rested” at the pyramids themselves.

Poblenou is an iconic cemetery in Barcelona (Spain). It was built in the 18th century and especially impressed many visitors by the haunting “Kiss of Death” statue. Photo: Western 61. This intricate sculpture is placed for the tomb of Josep Llaudet Soler, a textile producer. At first glance, the statue looks quite horror with a skeleton holding the dying man. Deeply hidden in it, however, were of greater significance. Photo: Time Out. The statue is inspired by the famous Latin phrase “Memento mori” which means: “Remember the person who will die”. This quote is a symbolic reminder of the immortality of the soul and the afterlife. In this statue, death (represented by a skeleton) is holding the dying man and kissing him. Photo: My Modern Met. The epitaph is engraved with a poem by Jacinto Verdaguer – a famous Catalan poet. On it was written: “My immature heart is thus no longer beating / Blood in my veins has cooled / Strength is gone / Faith was praised when he swooped into the arms of Death. Amen”. Photo: BCN. Until now, many people still argue about who created this statue. Some say it is Jaume Barba – whose name is engraved on the statue. Another opinion says it is the work of Joan Fontbernat. “The statue is a perfect match. Death’s knuckles grabbed the soft flesh of the man reminiscent of life cycle,” commented My Modern Met. Photo: BCN. Poblenou Cemetery has many other beautiful statues carved with tombs. Now, the city has developed a mobile app that helps visitors look up information about Poblenou’s greatest tombs – including the “Kiss of the Dead” statue. Photo: ShBarcelona.

The Ethnographic Museum is one of the best museums in Africa. This two-story museum was originally the palace of Emperor Haile Selassie. The rooms here are almost preserved. The exhibits are intricately arranged to tell visitors a rich and diverse story of Ethiopian peoples. National Museum This is where the fossils are on display named Lucy, a female skeleton of the species Australopithecus afarensis, discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, is considered the Origin of Modern Humans. The museum is also home to Ethiopian art works from the fourteenth to the twentieth centuries. Merkato Merkato is Addis Ababa’s largest market. It has most of the items you want to find with separate subdivisions. Its vast, chaotic appearance may at first look apprehensive to visitors, but exploring it will help you better understand the local culture as well as find many unique souvenirs. However, when going to a crowded place, you need to be careful with your belongings because street crime is still a thorny issue here. Piazza This is the “old town” of the capital, its name represents the short period in which the Italians were present in this country. Here you can find interesting places to eat and stay at affordable prices. Hills of Entoto This hill offers a panoramic view of Addis Ababa city from above. On Sunday, the hilltop Maryam Church is open for Mass. You can also visit the Entoto Maryam Museum, which displays Emperor Menelik’s personal belongings. The Lion of Judah and the Churchill Avenue After being moved back to Ethiopia from Rome in the 1960s, the symbol of the Ethiopian monarchy – the Lion of Judah – was placed at the top of Churchill Avenue, one of the main shopping streets of the city, running from the train station straight to the Piazza neighborhood. This is also a famous check-in place for tourists coming to the city.

The Ethiopian calendar has 12 months and 30 days, almost like the Gregorian (solar calendar) we are using. But the slight difference is that they have a 13th month (only five to six days). These extra days are called “epagomenal” days, and are essentially leap days. These additional dates ensure that the calendar follows the seasons and phases of the Moon. This addition has resulted in huge differences in the Ethiopian calendar and the normal calendar (7 years behind ours). The Ethiopians also follow a very different clock system. They obey a 12-hour clock, as opposed to the 24-hour time system that the rest of the world obey. While most people start the day at midnight (0 o’clock), Ethiopians start the day at dawn. So when the world is at 7:00 a.m. in this African country it will be 1 a.m. daytime time for Ethiopians. At 12 noon, it will be 6 o’clock during the day in Ethiopia (This is quite similar to China, Vietnam and some other feudal co-writers, using a 12-hour system, each watch and hour will be corresponds to 12 o’clock, but the beginning of the day will be counted as Little, starting at midnight). Despite international standards, this timing system exists to this day. 2. In 2017, although Ethiopia had become the fastest growing economy in the world, nearly a third of the population was still below poverty. According to the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects, Ethiopia was the fastest growing economy in the world in 2017. While global growth is forecast to be 2.7%, Ethiopia is projected to be 8.3%. ! Although these numbers may sound astonishing, in fact, with high growth rates, Ethiopia is still deep in public debt. 3. Ethiopia is home to the world’s most salty lake When someone talks about salty waters, the first thing that comes to your mind is the Dead Sea. But there are lakes that are much more salty than the Dead Sea. In fact, the Dead Sea is in seventh place and the waters that occupy first place is Ao Gaet’ale located in Afar, Ethiopia. It was formed in 2005 after an earthquake caused an underground hot spring to form on the surface. The water in Gaet’ale Pond has a salt concentration of up to 43.3%. 4. Ethiopians do not have surnames Worldwide naming conventions dictate a person’s given name, which will be preceded or followed by a parent’s surname (depending on culture). But in Ethiopia, the naming rules are going to be a little bit different. The names of the people here will include their own name, followed by the name of their father. From time to time, people can also take the name of a grandfather or any other male ancestors in the family. In addition, women cannot change their names after getting married. 5. Ethiopia is one of the lowest calorie consuming countries in the world Out of 172 countries, Ethiopia occupies the 167th place in calorie consumption. The average Ethiopian consumes 1,950 calories per day. Even lower than the minimum daily caloric intake prescribed by the World Health Organization (2,200 calories). For many communities in Ethiopia, daily survival is a very difficult thing because they often have to fast for many days because they cannot find food. According to a 2008 study, 16% of Ethiopia’s population earns less than $ 1 a day. Only 65% ​​of rural households make enough money to meet the minimum daily food intake of 2,200 calories. 6. Coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia There is a saying in Ethiopia – “Buna dabo naw”, which means “Coffee is our bread”. This clearly shows how important coffee is to the people of Ethiopia. There is a widespread belief that Ethiopia may be the birthplace of coffee. This country has a popular legend associated with this. A goat herder named “Kaldi” was busy grazing his goats when he noticed a strange expression that seemed to be extremely excited. After that, this goat kept jumping up on his hind legs and didn’t stop resting all night. Then, Kaldi realized that the goat had eaten some red berries from a small shrub. Out of curiosity, he tried it and was surprised when it filled him with energy. He then brought these to a nearby monastery. At first, the monks were skeptical about this fruit, but when they tried their seeds with hot water, they found it very interesting. In fact, there is no conclusive evidence of this legend, but it coincides with the time when coffee started being planted in Ethiopia. 7. The oldest fossil human skeleton discovered in Ethiopia in 1974 Ethiopia is one of the most talked about countries when it comes to the paleontological world. In 1963, Gerrard Dekker, a Dutch hydrologist, discovered many stone tools were used about 1 million years ago. Another important discovery was made by Tim D. White, a paleontologist. when he discovered a hominid fossil 4.2 million years old. But the most mentioned hominid fossil would be Lucy. The skeleton belongs to a woman, hence the name “Lucy”, and she lived 3.2 million years ago. She belongs to the species Australopithecus afarensis, an extinct hominid species. She is the oldest human skeleton discovered to date. 8. Raw meat is considered to be the palate of Ethiopia This trend is mainly seen in the city of Addis Ababa, where raw meat is slowly becoming a sought-after dish. The type of meat eaten raw most often is beef. There is also goat meat, but its price is quite high so people will eat it on special occasions. 9. Many Ethiopian holy places forbid women from entering The point above may make you laugh, but it’s 100% true. Those who have visited Ethiopia will confirm that. Known as “Mount Athos”, this monastic facility follows rules drafted back to the 800s C.E. There are about 20 monasteries on the campus, and this is home to 2,000 monks. These monks live a completely separate life from the rest of the world. They were so isolated that anyone who wanted to visit the sanctuary had to climb a great wall, and that could only happen with the permission of the monks. Women and animals are prohibited from entering the sanctuary. 10. In the Ethiopian city of Harar, humans and hyenas have been living together in harmony since the 16th century A common sight in the walled Harar city in Ethiopia are hyenas roaming the streets in search of food. Here, hyenas do not harm humans, and humans are not afraid of animals. Hyenas live in caves just outside the city, and whenever they need food, they look for it in the city. They are seen as agents of nature sent to clean up the mess that people have created in the city. Since the 16th century, people have offered hyena food to mark the birth of the prophet Mohammed. They believe that if the hyenas accept the food, a good time will come and vice versa.

Visitors visit two special skeletons at the Mutter Museum. They belong to people with strange diseases, to this day medicine is still incurable. Rare syndrome These two skeletons belong to people who have had an extremely rare condition, known as the Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, or FOP syndrome. FOP patients have muscles, tendons and ligaments that gradually turn into bones, causing the whole body to become stiff and unable to move. FOP syndrome is so rare that there are only about 700 known cases worldwide. FOP syndrome was first described around the 17th century. Until 2006, researchers discovered that FOP was caused by a mutation in the ACVR1 gene and that the condition could be hereditary. However, in most of the cases detected, FOP patients spontaneously developed genetic mutations, with no family history of the disorder. There is currently no cure for FOP. Normally, when a person dies, the connective tissue that holds the bones together is broken down, the skeleton collapses into a discrete mess. In order to display a human skeleton, usually in museums and laboratory specimens, they must be assembled with fine wire and glue. But the two specimens at the Mutter Museum are naturally fused and adhered skeletons. Carol Orzel in the 1990s. Two typical cases The most famous of these patients is Harry Raymond Eastlack, whose skeleton is on display at the Mutter Museum. Harry Raymond Eastlack was born in 1933 in Philadelphia (USA) with a characteristic defect in the big toe, but obstetricians and obstetricians do not recognize this sign. When he was 4 years old, he was hit by a broken leg in a car while playing on the street with his sister. His injured leg was cast in a cast, but the fracture did not heal completely. Months later, the cast was removed but his leg became inflamed and swollen. Before long, Harry found it difficult to move his hips and knees. An X-ray showed that the bones in the boy’s thigh were abnormally developed. The abnormality then spreads along the back, neck, and chest. Harry underwent 11 surgeries in total, but these invasive procedures only exacerbated the boy’s condition as the body attempted to “repair” the damaged tissue with more bones. Despite suffering from a strange illness, Harry still had a relatively happy childhood. Like friends of the same age, he listens to music on the radio, reads books, plays cards with his sister and often goes to the movies. At the Hamilton Theater in Philadelphia, Harry has a special seat in the middle of the 7th row, which can recline and straighten legs. When Harry’s condition worsens, he has more difficulty with daily activities and needs help with toileting, eating, and dressing. At the age of 15, Harry’s jaws got stuck, preventing him from eating solid food and talking with clenched teeth. He had difficulty sitting, as the hips were one of the first motionless parts. Before long, the bone forms through the upper arm and extends onto the sternum, pressing the arm to the chest. Bone fragments stretched down his back and the bones extending from there to the skull caused his neck and head to “lock” hard. The skeleton of Harry Raymond Eastlack seen from behind. Over the years, new bone growth caused his pelvis and thighs to form. One time, Harry accidentally bumped his butt into the fireplace, leaving a bruise, then the smooth tissue there was destroyed, making room for new bones to form. In the end, the boy’s movements remained only in the eyes, lips, and tongue. Harry died in 1973, just six days before his 40th birthday. Near his death, Harry told his sister that he wanted to donate his body and medical records to medicine to study and learn more about the disease. In 2018, Harry Eastlack’s skeleton was combined with another skeleton, belonging to Carol Orzel, who also suffered from FOP, on display. Carol was born also in Philadelphia, in 1959. With FOP, she needs help with eating and dressing because she cannot bend her elbows. Despite her disability, Carol enjoys painting and drawing with a stick-like medium that replaces her motionless elbows, wrists, fingers and neck. She paints the landscape and makes a very beautiful greeting card. This stick also helps her to put on makeup. Carol loves fashion and has a spacious wardrobe that has been modified for convenience, making it easy for her to take them out and wear. Carol died in a nursing home, where Harry spent his final years. She also decided to donate after learning about Harry and seeing his skeleton at the Mutter Museum. Currently, both Harry and Carol’s skeletons are recognized as invaluable artifacts in FOP research.

Accordingly, scientists have studied and analyzed two of the 15 ancient tombs discovered in the 1920s on the Valsgärde farm, suburban Uppsala city, central Sweden. Specifically, two ancient tombs are the resting places of two warriors from the 7th century. They are buried in boats with protective helmets, shields and weapons elaborately decorated, even pieces of puzzle pieces. play. The boats carrying the remains of two warriors have a length of more than 9m each, with 4-5 pairs of paddles. Warrior Helmets … and elaborately decorated weapon found in ancient tombs. The remains of the two warriors are placed on a smooth cushion, stuffed with feathers of a variety of birds. Researchers believe that the ancients prepared these items in the hope that the deceased’s journey to the underworld would be easier. Microscopic analysis showed that feathers in cover cover were obtained from geese, ducks, grouse, crows, sparrows, wading birds (swamp birds) and even eagle owls. More strangely, in one tomb, there was an Asian-European wild owl whose head was cut off. Horse bones and other animals (cattle, pigs, sheep, snow owls, black grouse, ducks, geese and northern pike) were also found near the boat when they were buried about 1,400 years ago. There are also artifacts related to animals, including 20 horseshoes, a saddle, four reins, and 4-5 dog leashes. “The warriors seem to be equipped to row into the afterlife, while also being able to land with the help of horses. We guess the choice of feather stuffed with blankets could have a deeper, more symbolic meaning, ”said Professor Birgitta Berglund of the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim, Norway. Feather used as a blanket for the dead Various animals and related artifacts were buried with boats. According to Nordic folklore, feathers stuffed in a blanket for the dying person are very important. Professor Berglund explained that the ancients believed that using feathers, owls, birds of prey, pigeons, crows and squirrels would help prolong the time of “fighting” with death. “In some parts of the Scandinavian Peninsula, goose feathers are considered the best item to help the soul escape from the body,” he points out. The soft feathers in the Valsgärde tombs, the oldest known to be found in the Scandinavian Peninsula, show that the two warriors were among the highest classes of Iron Age society here. The wealthy Greeks and Romans had been lying in bed for the past hundred years, said Berglund, but that the rich in Europe probably did not use it widely until the Middle Ages. Berglund believes that the beheaded owl has implications for burial rituals. According to the researchers, keeping birds of prey like eagle owls has long been a status symbol. “Maybe the owl’s head was cut off to prevent it from coming back,” the professor referred to the swords that were bent in front of the Viking-era tomb to prevent the dead from using weapons if they returned from the realms. died. The dead warriors are well equipped for their journey to the afterlife. Valsgärde was excavated in 1928 by archaeologists from the University Museum of Uppsala today. Here discovered more than 90 tombs from the Iron Age, of which 15 tombs of warriors were buried in the form of boats from the end of the Iron Age (AD 570–1030). The two graves that are the focus of a new study called Valsgärde 7 and 8, both date to the 7th century. According to Professor Berglund, Valsgärde 7 was unearthed in 1933, while Valsgärde 8 was unearthed. in 1936. Besides revealing the Iron Age burial ceremony, the new study also identified feathers as buffers for warriors who were imported or obtained from local birds. If it is imported feathers, this will open up the assumption about a certain historical trade route. Making feather materials is time consuming and challenging for many reasons, said study co-author Jørgen Rosvold, from the Norwegian Institute of Natural History (NINA). “I am still amazed at how well preserved the feathers are despite the fact that they have been lying underground for more than 1,000 years,” he said. The study results showed that the feathers were obtained from different local birds, not through the import route. “The feathers provide new perspectives on the relationship between humans and birds in the past. Archaeological excavations have rarely found traces of birds other than those used for food, ”concluded Mr Berglund.

This impressive cave and chapel is located in Sedlec, about an hour from Prague (Czech Republic) by train. This is a peaceful and beautiful town.

Sedlec caves are located under the All Saints cemetery church.

The cave itself is a Roman Catholic chapel.

In 1870, the Schwarzenberg family of the aristocracy hired a famous carpenter, František Rint, to turn the skeletons in the chapel into works of art.

This is the Schwarzenberg family crest.

The entire chapel is decorated with motifs made of human bones.

Before rearranging, Rint and the workers cleaned up the bones.

Then he turned them into things like ceiling lights.

The huge ceiling lamp is one of the most impressive parts of the chapel, which is said to have every bone in the human body.

Sometimes pieces of bone are used for decoration …

Or form artifacts commonly found in a chapel.

They sometimes tell legends, such as a Turk whose eyes were gouged out by a crow.

Human bones form the framework for the traditional statues.

They can also be combined with other materials.

They always bring an element of obsession for the scene.

Each corner of the chapel has giant skeletons.

They seem mysterious and intimidating when you get up close.

People often leave coins for good luck.

Rint left an impression on his signature – in human bones.
