The legendary Tree of Ténéré in northeastern Niger, once known as the most isolated tree on Earth before a truck knocked it down in 1973....

Tree of Ténéré was an umbrella thorn acacia and the last survivor of a group of trees that had grown when the Sahara was wetter. As the region became increasingly arid, every other tree around it disappeared.

The acacia survived by developing roots that descended more than 30 meters beneath the sand to reach groundwater. For generations, it served as a landmark for Tuareg caravans traveling across the Ténéré Desert.

In a landscape with few permanent reference points, the tree helped travelers follow the ancient caravan route between Niger and Algeria.

Its isolation made it internationally famous. The Tree of Ténéré was reportedly the only individual tree marked on maps covering an enormous section of Africa.

In 1973, a Libyan truck driver traveling through the desert struck the tree and snapped its trunk. Some later accounts claimed the driver was intoxicated, although that detail was never firmly documented.

The fallen tree was transported to the Niger National Museum in Niamey, where its preserved remains are displayed. A metal monument resembling a tree now stands at the original location.

When workers dug a well beside the tree in 1938–39, they discovered that its roots extended roughly 33 to 36 meters through the desert sand to reach the water table.

🚨 WOW!! Argentina President Javier Milei just walked up to the mic at the United Nations and RIPPED THEM TO THEIR FACES

"It's become a USELESS organization whose only purpose is to sustain a caste of fatefully arrogant PARASITES masquerading as well-intentioned bureaucrats!" 🔥🔥🔥

"The alleged 'defenders of human rights' have sheltered bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women in the streets!"

"Good people do not think about controlling the lives of their fellow human beings."

"Those who were supposed to guarantee collective security and human rights failed in their task. Instead, they allowed chaos, violence and international terrorism to flourish."

YOU ARE A LEGEND, @JMilei 👏🏻

Seems like President Trump and Milei both had the BEST speeches at the UN. Pure nationalist first, globalist last

The UN is filled with hypocrites who cozy up to Islamism and 3rd world mass migration, while attacking the nations who want to retain their own borders and their national interests

Those days are over. MAGA! 🇺🇸🇦🇷

September 26, 2008: Paul Newman passed away from lung cancer at 83, leaving his wife Joanne Woodward devastated after 50 years of marriage. She couldn't bear to sell his 1963 Porsche, leaving it untouched in the garage.
In 2018, ten years later, she finally opened it.
Behind the sun visor, a yellowed note read:
"My darling Joanne, if you're reading this, I'm gone. I've hidden notes all over our life. Keep looking, keep finding me. I never left. I'm in every corner of our love. Forever yours, P." Since then, Joanne has discovered 47 hidden notes—in books, coat pockets, and photo frames. Sixteen years after his passing, she's still finding him, a gentle reminder that love never truly dies.

This is Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers.

He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident.

His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.

No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and often seen riding a subway in NYC.

When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account.

In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from
"The Matrix" to charities.

In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.

In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.

In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others. This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: to be real.

We have a lot more in common with ancient people than we might think. For instance, it was as useful for a woman to know 3,500 years ago whether she was pregnant or not as it is today. And though some may scoff at many of the practices the ancients considered science in ancient Egypt astrology was cutting-edge technology — you've got to hand it to them: Some of their scientific methods have turned out to be pretty accurate.

According to some unpublished ancient Egyptian medical texts in the Papyrus Carlsberg Collection at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, what they had in the way of pregnancy tests was grain — specifically barley and wheat.

According to one papyrus text from around 1400-1350 BC, a written document from the time describes a process in which a woman would urinate on wheat and barley seeds over several days and, depending on which plant grew, both the woman's pregnancy status and the sex of the fetus could be determined. In 1905, British physiologists Ernest Starling and William Bayliss were the first to isolate special hormone markers found in the urine of pregnant women. In order for a woman to determine whether she was pregnant or not, all she had to do was urinate in two different bags — one filled with barley and the other with wheat. If the grain in either bag sprouted after being peed on, the woman was definitely with child and could start planning accordingly. But wait, there's more! In order to tell the sex of her new child, the woman simply had to wait and see which of the grains sprouted first. If the barley sprouted faster, the baby would be a boy; if the wheat sprouted first, it would be a girl child.

Barley and wheat are sensitive to hormonal changes, particularly to estrogen levels in a person's urine when pregnant. These grains were chosen for their reliable germination rates and the ancient Egyptians' familiarity with these crops. This choice reflects their advanced understanding of the natural world and its application to human health and reproduction.

According to the National Institute of Health, a study conducted in 1963 found that this method of determining pregnancy is accurate about 70% of the time not bad, ancient Egyptians although it wasn't accurate at all when it came to determining the sex of the baby. Modern pregnancy tests rely on proteins that can detect a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), but scientists speculate that this old-timey test worked so well because elevated levels of estrogen in a woman's urine might have promoted seed growth.

Researchers currently poring over the papyri in Carlsberg Collection are finding that medical information discovered in ancient Egypt didn't disappear when the Library of Alexandria burned by that time it had made its way all over the African continent and beyond.

"Many of the ideas in the medical texts from ancient Egypt appear again in later Greek and Roman texts," Sofie Schiødt, Ph.D. student from University of Copenhagen, told ScienceNordic. "From here, they spread further to the medieval medical texts in the Middle East, and you can find traces all the way up to premodern medicine."

The moral of this story is that women have always needed useful reproductive health advice, and if they have to get it from an ancient empire that doesn't even exist anymore, so be it.

Hurrian Hymn (part of collection of Hurrian songs), inscribed in Akkadian cuneiform on clay tablets (1550-1400 BC) excavated from ancient Amorite-Canaanite city of Ugarit, northern Syria....

The clay tablet text, which was discovered alongside around 30 other tablet fragments, specifies 9 lyre strings and intervals between those strings – kind of like an ancient guitar tab. But this is only hymn that could be reconstructed – although the name of the composer is now lost. The complete song is one of about 36 such hymns was is dedicated Hurrians’ goddess of the orchards Nikkal. It was discovered in 1950s, considered as the oldest surviving melody and is over 3400 years old.

An account of the group of shards was first published in 1955 and 1968 by Emmanuel Laroche, who identified as parts of a single clay tablet the three fragments catalogued by field archaeologists as RS 15.30, 15.49, and 17.387. In Laroche's catalogue the hymns are designated h. (for "Hurrian") 2–17, 19–23, 25–6, 28, 30, along with smaller fragments RS. 19.164 g, j, n, o, p, r, t, w, x, y, aa, and gg. The complete hymn is h.6 in this list. A revised text of h.6 was published in 1975. Following Laroche's work, Assyriologist Anne Draffkorn Kilmer and musicologist Marcelle Duchesne-Guillemin worked together in 1970s to understand the meaning of the tablets, concluding that one tablet presented tuning methods for a Babylonian lyre, another referred to musical intervals.

Tablet h.6 contains, the lyrics for a hymn to Nikkal, a Ancient Near Eastern goddess of orchards, and instructions for a singer accompanied by a nine-stringed sammûm, a type of harp or, much more likely, a lyre. The hymn was given its first modern performance in 1974, a performance of which the New York Times wrote: “This has revolutionized the whole concept of the origin of western music.”

While the Hurrian hymn pre-dates several other surviving early works of music (e.g. Seikilos epitaph and Delphic Hymns) by a millennium, its transcription remains controversial. Duchesne-Guillemin's reconstruction may be heard at Urkesh webpage, though this is only one of at least five "rival decipherments of the notation, each yielding entirely different results".

Text of h.6 is difficult, in part because Hurrian language itself is imperfectly understood, and in part because of small lacunae due to missing flakes of the clay tablet. In addition, however, it appears that the language is a local Ugarit dialect, which differs significantly from the dialects known from other sources. It is also possible that the pronunciation of some words was altered from normal speech because of music. Despite the many difficulties, it is clearly a religious text concerning offerings to goddess Nikkal, wife of the moon god. Text is presented in four lines, with the peculiarity that the seven final syllables of each of the first three lines on the verso of the tablet are repeated at beginning of the next line on the recto. While Laroche saw in this a procedure similar to one employed by Babylonian scribes in longer texts to provide continuity at the transition from one tablet to another, Güterbock and Kilmer took the position that this device is never found within the text on a single tablet, and so these repeated syllables must constitute refrains dividing the text into regular sections. To this, Duchesne-Guillemin retorts that the recto-verso-recto spiral path of text, an arrangement unknown in Babylon is ample reason for the use of such guides.

The first published attempt to interpret the text of h.6 was made in 1977 by Hans-Jochen Thiel and his work formed the basis for a new but still very provisional attempt made 24 years later by Theo J. H. Krispijn, after Hurritology had made significant progress thanks to archaeological discoveries made in the meantime at a site near Boğazkale.
