Ten years ago a 12-year-old from Dnipro sat down and played like he’d already lived a few lives behind the kit. Most people only ever saw the clips. This is the full solo. 🥁
A Bronze Age couple discovered buried together in what is now Ukraine, still embracing nearly 3,000 years after they were laid to rest.
Dating to around 1200–1000 BC, this burial belonged to the Vysotska culture. The man and woman were intentionally laid to rest face-to-face, their arms wrapped around each other in a shared grave alongside pottery and bronze ornaments.
The grave was discovered in a cemetery containing more than 100 burials, yet it was the only one in which two people were buried in such an intimate embrace.
Archaeologists believe the positioning was intentional, but its meaning remains uncertain. Some suggest it may have reflected a unique funerary ritual or an exceptionally close personal bond, though no definitive explanation has been found.
For the first time, researchers have identified exactly what Roman builders were adding to their concrete to make it last for centuries....
At an unfinished building site in Pompeii, abandoned during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, archaeologists uncovered something rare: Roman concrete materials that were prepared but never mixed. That frozen moment revealed how Roman builders actually made their concrete.
Instead of mixing lime and water the way we do today, they combined quicklime with volcanic ash first, then added water. The reaction produced intense heat and left behind tiny fragments of reactive lime trapped inside the hardened concrete. When cracks later formed and water seeped in, those fragments reacted again and sealed the damage from within.
In other words, some Roman concrete was intentionally engineered to heal its own cracks — and it’s still doing it nearly 2,000 years later.

Если в произвольном треугольнике провести все трисектрисы (то есть лучи, делящие угол на три равных угла), то точки пересечения смежных трисектрис являются вершинами правильного треугольника
