Tash Rabat, a mysterious site in Kyrgyzstan, was once a settlement along the Silk Road, a way station for caravans – a caravanserai. It provided shelter and food for both human traders and their animal workers. What makes Tash Rabat slightly mysterious is that its layout is unusual for this kind of caravanserai. What’s left is a single structure that looks like a blend between a castle and a temple.
Archaeologists are puzzled by Tash Rabat. They believe the location was used as a resting place for traders from about the 1400s but there’s also evidence that a Christian monastery may have been there from as early as the 900s. That could explain the odd layout – perhaps the travelling merchants just adapted an existing structure.
Mistério envolve neve azul em São Petersburgo
As autoridades russas têm tentado determinar o que tem dado à neve a sua cor peculiar.
Os residentes de São Petersburgo ficaram perplexos esta semana depois de descobrir que a neve em seus jardins estava longe do branco prístino, tipicamente associado à estação festiva.
O desconcertante matiz azul foi relatado em toda a cidade, levando a uma investigação das autoridades locais que desde então levaram amostras de neve para testes laboratoriais.
O assunto gerou preocupação entre os locais devido à possibilidade de contaminação tóxica.
“Não podemos adivinhar o que aconteceu e por que a neve é ??azul sem resultados de laboratório”, disse Gulnara Gudulova, da Rosprirodnadzor (Serviço Federal de Supervisão do Uso de Recursos Naturais).
“Nós enviamos a neve para laboratórios para verificar se há toxicidade e metais”.
Perfectly Preserved Stone Age House Found In Norway
The discovery of a “sealed” Stone Age house site from 3500 BCE in Norway is the finest preserved house from the funnel beaker culture which lived in the area at the time. The dwelling site lies 11 meters (36 feet) over sea level today, but was at the water’s edge 5,500 years ago.
The site looks like it was covered by a sandstorm, possibly in the course of a few hours. At the time, Norway was much drier, and sandstorms were not unusual according to the earth’s strata from the time. Which is lucky for today’s archaeologists! The site is so well-preserved that it has been described as a “mini-Pompeii.”
