This ancient masterpiece, reassembled from about 7,000 beads, was found in a burial of a female contemporary of King Khufu.

Though the string had disintegrated, some beads remained in place, allowing an accurate reconstruction.

8. In 1994, photojournalist Sebastião Salgado returned to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil, only to find the lush forests of his childhood reduced to barren land.

His wife, Lélia, proposed replanting the forest, and over the next 20 years, they planted 2.7 million trees. This effort restored 1,500 acres of rainforest, reviving 293 plant species, 172 bird species, and 33 animal species, some near extinction.
