A bronze bottle containing 3,740 millilitres of liquid was recently excavated from the Shanjiabao cemetery near Guyuan in northern China, just 2 kilometers south of the Great Wall. The tomb dates to the end of the Warring States period (475–221 BCE). Chemical analysis of the liquid identified more than 2,400 organic compounds, while microscopic examination of starch grains, phytoliths, and yeast confirmed it was an alcoholic beverage. The presence of broomcorn millet and Triticeae — wheat or barley — indicated a cereal-based brew rather than a fruit wine, making it closer to beer than anything else. It would not have tasted like any modern beer: the liquid was relatively rich in lactic acid, oxalic acid, and tartaric acid, suggesting a sharp, sour flavour — though that's likely a consequence of sitting sealed in a tomb for two millennia. The bottle, described as having a garlic-shaped mouth, was found among burial goods, suggesting the deceased was sent off with a final drink.

There is a universal language that transcends species: the rhythm of a global icon. In this viral moment, we see two unlikely dance partners—a muscular, sleek Pitbull and a feisty, pint-sized Chihuahua—completely mesmerized by @shakira performing her hit “Ojos Así.” They aren’t just watching; they are feeling every beat, their tails wagging in sync with the hip-shaking choreography on the screen. The magic peaks when a hand suddenly clicks the remote, plunging the room into silence and the screen into darkness. The betrayal is instant. The Pitbull freezes, head tilted in genuine confusion, while the Chihuahua lets out a sharp, indignant yelp that perfectly captures what we’re all thinking: “How dare you interrupt the Queen?” This clip was shared by the official TV Globo account as part of a massive teaser campaign for the highly anticipated Shakira concert in Rio de Janeiro, scheduled for May 2, 2026. The date has become a beacon for fans across South America, and as these two pups prove, the “Shakira fever” is very real. Whether you’re a human or a hound, the countdown to May 2nd is officially on, and we’re all just waiting for the music to start again. Don’t let the music stop on your feed! If you think these pups have better moves than most humans, hit that follow button and join the family. I’m reacting to the wildest moments leading up to the big show—you don’t want to miss what’s next! Follow Kemi Reacts for more! Credit

“Maybe other children could read about dragons, feel braver, and continue unscathed. For me though, the dragons were vividly real. And now that my child doesn’t want to hear scary fairy tales, I wonder – should I be the one to force him to?” —Stephanie Ebert
