@theearlyteacher I find the answer to this question depends on if you have your own (small) children or not. I have a 5 year old and dread the holidays as I lose my sense of individuality completely. Despite loving my boy so much, 6 weeks ruins me.

@primaryteachew I didn’t realise until this second that I have been too 🩷

@DrSamSims I teach in a college and could access a-level biology progress test data?

@DaddyAllsopp interesting!! Xxx

Nan Madol, Micronesia :

If you ask to many archaeologists what greatest archaeological mystery on earth is, 99% of them will answer: city of Nan Madol, Micronesia. Mysteries surrounding this city are so great and incomprehensible that virtually no one wants to talk about them. If you go to Wikipedia, you will read that the city of Nan Madol was built around 1200 AD by Saudeleur. But this data only refers to only 'known population' that has been traced on island, using some available dating systems. But in reality, according to archaeologists themselves, history of Nan Madol must 'necessarily' have been quite different, although no one can precisely explain how. What makes this city so mysterious, or rather, 'impossible´?

Some of mighty walls of Nan Madol were built from below sea level. It should be noted that columnar basalt blocks were used, at least in some cases weighing up to 50 tonnes. These are held together without adhesives, simply by their weight. They are arranged on top of each other in a criss-cross pattern, like Lego. Researchers have noticed that care with which these blocks are placed underwater is same as when they are placed out of water. Whole thing is extremely precise. How is it possible to build huge walls that start from below sea level, and then emerge from water ? Nan Madol is 1.5km long. It was a real "metropolis" for those times.

So why is it difficult to accept this theory, which is so logical as to seem "obvious"? If this were true, it would mean that Nan Madol was built before waters of planet Earth rose due to Thaw. We are talking about a period between 14,500 and 7000 years ago. This would make Nan Madol by far, and we repeat by far, oldest city in the world. It would also prove the existence of a civilisation that existed before Last Deglaciation.

Ruined city is one of today's great archaeological enigmas and is sometimes called "Atlantis", "eighth wonder of the world," or "Venice of the Pacific".

@DaddyAllsopp He’s absolutely fine my love, it’s just a new environment and he will settle 💜

@DrShetalAO @chatbiology @KJF239 @edwards_dr2 Mind mapping their thoughts and topics they could include, sharing in a pair or small group to cross reference, discussing the information from each part of the mind map to check knowledge is secure, then build up into proper sentences/paragraphs.

@DaddyAllsopp I’ll be right by your side my love. As a team, we’ve got this! 🩷

@MsGHist Check your local library. I’ve been going to a STEM club with my four year old over the holidays. Check if your local football/sports teams run holiday clubs too. See if local museums are running any holiday events. Good luck!

@DaddyAllsopp @northernassist I dislike this 😭

@missperrysci @leysbiotutor @KJF239 @DrCGraham @BeaulieuBio @chatbiology @ChatEcology I remember going on a 5 day residential when I was at school but my college don’t do any trips for Biology from a sampling point of view. We do in Geology and Environmental Science though. I wish we did.

[Amy Allsopp @AmyAllsopp86]

@MrsKSci1 @STEMyBanda Done! 🙂

[Amy Allsopp @AmyAllsopp86]

@MrsKSci1 @STEMyBanda Of course!
