Noah's Archaeology

• Richard III's carpark grave

  After he died in the War of the Roses, it was believed he was buried at Greyfriars Church, without a ceremony, because, let's be frank, why would you want to remember your enemy? Then Henry VIII was like, nah let's destroy that church, because he couldn't get a divorce
• In 2012, a group of British archeologists compared old and new maps, and they somehow determined that King Richard III was buried under a parking lot, as Philippa Langley of the Richard III Society confirms
• With DNA tests, it was confirmed that the body was Richard III
• Modern analysis proved that Richard had a common form of scoliosis, when the spine curves on the side
• After that, his remains were reburied at Leicester Cathedral in March 2015
• Ancient Buddhist Temple in Pakistan


  It's in the historical region of Gandhara, which is described as "a trade crossroads and cultural meeting place between India, Central Asia and the Middle East
• Hindu, Buddhist and Indo-Greek rulers seized control of Gandhara at different points throughout the first millennium B.C.E.
• The team unearthed coins, jewellery, statues, seals, pottery fragments and other ancient artefacts
• Per this statement, the temple was likely abandoned in the third century C.E. following an earthquake
• A footprint found in New South Wales (Australia) could belong to the fastest runner to ever exist
• In 2002, a young aboriginal girl named Mary Pappen Jr, spotted a set of footprints between sand dunes in Mungo National Park
• Analysis proved that they were 20,000 years ago
• Researchers found 700 footprints, 400 of them grouped in a set of 23 tracks, belonging to several groups who crossed the wetlands (families, hunters, etc,,,,)
• In one scenario, researchers could even see that a child walked away from the main group before pausing and turning around, likely due to having been called by a family member
• Steve Webb, with Bond University, found that one of them was running at 37 km/h on mud, barefoot and, without intense training
• This mark is close to Usain Bolt's 37.6km/h average speed during his record-breaking 9.58 second run and Donovan Bailey's top speed of 43.6 km/h
• Ostia Antica


  Ostia Antica was once an ancient Roman city, about 16 miles away from southwest Rome
• Ostia


  Means 'mouth' in latin
• Antica


  Means 'ancient'
• Ostia may have been one of Rome's first settlements
• When the Roman Empire declined, Ostia declined too
• Sand dunes and tidal mud helped to preserve this city quite well, and today it's known as an archaeological site with great preservation of its ancient buildings
• When you walk along the mile-long road Decumanus Maximus, you can see its paving stones with the grooves worn by ancient carts
• Visitors can wander through the ruins of brick buildings. These include apartments, homes of rich merchants, public spaces, and even a theatre which can hold more than 3500 people (Ostia Antica Global Round??)
• Pompeii was an ancient city located in Italy. It was where the Romans once lived, until it was buried by volcanic ash during the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD
• With today's X-raying people's decomposed bodies we found what the city looked like, and with CGI technology, we can see how the streets once looked (probably)
• Professor Eric Poehler from University of Massachusetts used 3D mapping technology to put together a grid of the transportation network showing how people moved around that time. He also studied the wear on the stone curbs to determine that the city was made up of 100-ish one-way streets
• With the organic trash in the city we found out the people ate seafood and pork- even fed pigs different stuff to make their bodies taste different
• Hopefully in a few years or decades we could see the livin city from our devices digitally, as it is not made to preserve for any longer
• There is this fish sauce kid known as Umbricuis Scaurus, who became very influential when he expanded his fish sauce business, some cool things on what technology can do
• The Girsu Project


  Combines research, on-site training and heritage management of one of the world's oldest cities, Girsu
• Girsu was a megacity and was once the capital of the Lagash Kingdom
• The team used technology and drone photography to identify the subsurface remains in Tablet Hill, which is in modern Tello, Iraq
• About 50k cuneiform has been recovered from this site. The fall of 2022 saw​​ the team finding 200 more cuneiform and identifying mudbrick walls
• The cuneiform, which detailed the administrative records of Girsu, were taken to the Iraq Museum in Baghdad
• Archeologists also managed to find the Eninnu Temple, which was the main sanctuary of the Sumerian god Ningirsu, the namesake of the ancient city
• Then, theory also found the Temple of the White thunderbird, which is probably one of the most important of Mesopotamia. The temple was only known by ancient inscriptions found at the fieldwork site 140 years ago
• The dinosaurs, created as theme park attractions, are cloned through genetic engineering. The process is accomplished by extracting ancient DNA from mosquitoes, which sucked the blood of dinosaurs and then became fossilised in amber, preserving the DNA. Scientists then fill gaps in the genome using frog DNA
• Although the films primarily take place on an island, namely Isla Nublar, located on the Pacific coast of Central Rica, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sees the dinosaurs relocated throughout the world, including the US mainland
• Godzilla


  Godzilla is an American monster film, the 30th film in the Godzilla franchise, the first film in Legendary Pictures MonsterVerse, and the second Godzilla film to be completely produced by a Hollywood Studio
