Remains, mostly mummies, of men and women from ancient times are not uncommon in Egypt. Archaeologists often find mummies thousands of years old at various burial sites, but such a sight has not always been revealed – gold tongues placed in the mouths of men and women.
Researchers estimate that such tongues, which are placed in the mouths of the dead, may allow them to communicate with the gods in the afterlife. But not only was the tongue placed in the tomb, the mummies were found with figurines around them and jewelry – indicating that they were wealthy people.
And from antiquity to the future: NASA launches a new X-ray telescope into space with insane capabilities, through which it will learn about stars, black holes, nebulae and other cool phenomena in space.
The new telescope is worth $ 214 million and will orbit the Earth. The telescope will actually be the first satellite dedicated to measuring X-rays coming from cosmic sources.
The rays to be studied are actually invisible waves, which can help scientists understand how objects behave in space. This is a new set of tools for the world of astronomy, which will lead to new and unexpected understanding and discovery, and NASA can no longer wait for the first findings that the new instrument will bring to space.
And from space back to Earth. Contrary to what we were told in the trenches, sharks are not attracted to humans as prey. Our smell of blood does not make them lose their temper, but – there is no doubt that an encounter between a shark and a human can be fatal.
Jack Shaw, just 15 years old from Australia, can attest to that, when he told this week about the moment he and his girlfriend were attacked by a shark. The girlfriend was bitten in the leg, and Jack suffered back injuries. Luckily and resourcefully, he managed to save his girlfriend and himself and escape to the beach.
