Quoting: observationWorking at the Funerary Complex of Harwa and Akhimenru in the west bank of the ancient city of Thebes (modern-day Luxor) in Egypt, the team of the Italian Archaeological Mission to Luxor (MAIL) found bodies covered with a thick layer of lime (historically used as a disinfectant). The researchers also found three kilns where the lime was produced, as well as a giant bonfire containing human remains, where many of the plague victims were incinerated..............

X-rays Shine Light on Atoms at Work in a Chemical Reaction At this very moment, there are billions of chemical reactions taking place in your body. And yet each of these chemical reaction is special, because for it to occur two or more molecules have come in close contact under the right conditions. These “right conditions” are mostly dependent on the energy available in the system. Without enough energy, the necessary movement of electrons will not occur and the reaction will fail. In nature, the required amount of energy has always been a tricky thing to achieve. To overcome this situation, many biological reactions make use of a catalyst, which does not react with the substances but accelerates the reaction. For instance, your body contains small amounts of manganese, zinc, and copper that are all required as catalysts for key reactions in the body. Although chemists have known about catalysts for nearly 200 years, we still don’t always understand how they work.

aether (OP) User ID: 59408502 United Kingdom 06/19/2014 11:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Looking into the seemingly bottomless cobalt depths of the blue holes certainly invites the idea that there are mysteries here that we do not yet fathom. They are certainly eerie places. In addition to their various mysterious and unexplored cave systems, numerous fossils, shipwrecks, and other artifacts have been found at the bottom of blue holes. Various unusual remains of animals have been found here as well, including the bones of a species of crocodile that is not known to live in the Bahamas, the remains of an unknown type of bird, and even human bones, all perfectly preserved due to the low oxygen environment. All of this is certainly odd, but is there something even stranger to be found here amongst these mysteries? Quoting: observationWith such a small fraction of them explored, there are likely new species and other wonders waiting to be discovered within the mysterious blue holes of the Bahamas. Is there perhaps some sort of unknown giant predator stalking these majestic places as well? Perhaps as divers continue to push further into these unexplored underwater cave systems we will shed some light on this enigma. For now the blue holes of the Bahamas keep their mysteries wrapped tight within their inscrutable azure depths.
