The alien? Once there were, now they are all extinct!

Aliens do not contact us simply because they are extinct. This is the original hypothesis formulated by astrobiologists at the Australian National University to explain the difficulty of finding signs of life in the universe despite its teeming with potentially habitable planets.

The alien? Once there were, now they are all extinct!
In 1950, while working in the Los Alamos laboratories, Enrico Fermi took part in a conversation with some colleagues, including Edward Teller, during lunch in the laboratory canteen. The conversation was about a recent UFO sighting reported in the press, about which a satirical cartoon made fun. The conversation continued on various related topics, until suddenly, during lunch, Fermi exclaimed “ Where is everybody? ”. Yeah, where is everyone? If aliens exist, why haven't they contacted us yet? To the numerous hypotheses formulated to answer this question, we add that formulated by astrobiologists at the Australian National University ...

Do the Men in Black exist? Is anyone monitoring alien activity on our planet?

In the collective imagination, fueled by the hilarious film trilogy featuring two excellent Hollywood actors, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, the Men in Black are mysterious characters dressed in black clothes who are concerned with "cleaning up" the evidence of any alien contacts and to address those who have had some type of "close encounter" with alien entities, recommending them not to tell anyone what they have seen.

Do the Men in Black exist? Is anyone monitoring alien activity on our planet?
The origins of the Men in Black can be traced back to the early 1950s, when a UFO enthusiast named Albert Bender founded a small organization, the International Flying Saucer Bureau, and began publishing a magazine called “Space Review”. In 1953, Bender claimed to have been visited by “three men wearing dark suits” who told him to immediately stop publishing classified information about flying saucers. About a decade later, Bender wrote an in-depth book on his strange story, hypothesizing that his mysterious visitors were "shape-shifting" extraterrestrials worried that humanity might learn of their existence. According to Bender, the Men ...

In our DNA there are traces of a completely unknown hominid species

We are the fruit of an intricate genetic mosaic, to which is added a mysterious lineage of humans that has left its signature in the DNA of modern humans.

In our DNA there are traces of a completely unknown hominid species
A 2013 study (https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2013.14196) reveals that our genetic makeup is the result of crossbreeding between modern humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans and a fourth mysterious, completely unknown archaic lineage. The analyzes suggest that our genetic makeup is the result of crossbreeding that occurred in Europe and Asia about 30 thousand years ago between four human lineages, one of which, in addition to that of modern humans, the Neanderthals and the Denisovans, is completely unknown to the experts. Neanderthals are an extinct group of humans who lived between 130,000 and 30,000 years ago. Despite ...

The enigma of the viking sword Ulfberht: forged with future technologies?

Ulfberht is the name stamped on particular Viking swords used in Scandinavia around the 10th century AD. The forging of these weapons baffles researchers as it was not possible to revisit the technique until at least the Industrial Revolution. Did the Vikings possess superior technology ahead of their time?

The enigma of the viking sword Ulfberht: forged with future technologies?
Chronicles say that those who wielded an Ulfberht sword had a significant advantage over their enemies. Although similar in size and shape to a common Viking sword, the Ulfberht was much more durable and capable of penetrating armor with ease. The blade of an Ulfberht was very flexible compared to the weapons of the time, so solid that it easily penetrated wood and steel, thus giving the swordsman the possibility of easily eliminating the enemy. It was owned only by the chiefs and a small elite of warriors. The characteristic mark that identified her was imprinted on her blade: + VLFBERH + T The meaning of the word “Ulfberht” is not known...

Oldest lunar calendar in the world is 10 thousand years old

Evidence suggests that the hunter-gatherer societies of Mesolithic Scotland had the need and ability to keep track of time, at least 5,000 years before the first calendars were developed in Mesopotamia. In this way, the research marks an important step towards the formal understanding of time and, therefore, of history itself.

Oldest lunar calendar in the world is 10 thousand years old
Some discoveries forces us to review the cultural evolution of humanity. One example is the analysis of the ancient archaeological site of Warren Campo , in Scotland, discovered in 2004 by the National Trust for Scotland. The site, dating back to around 8000 BC, contains a long row of 12 wells. Analyses, obtained with the help of specially created software capable of analyzing the relationship between the distance of the wells, the topography of the site and the movements of the sun and moon, convinced archaeologists that the wells represent the months of year and the lunar phases of the month. Keeping track of time would have been immens...

Makhunik: the Iranian city of the world's smallest humans?

An ancient village in the south of Khorasan province (Iran), the city of the smallest humans in the world, amazes with its extremely small size. In 2005, not far from the miniature city, the body of an individual measuring just 25 cm was found.

Makhunik: the Iranian city of the world's smallest humans?
On this journals I have often talked about giant human beings who, according to some indications, inhabited our planet in a remote time. However, despite the great literature on giants, little if any convincing archaeological evidence has ever been shown to the general public. Different case, however, for "dwarf" human beings. A few years ago, the discovery of a fossilized body of a small human species, renamed Homo floresiensis caused a sensation. Lived 13 thousand years ago, he was just over one meter tall and with a cranial capacity of 380 cm 3 , much smaller not only compared to his contemporaries, but also to all the known hominids t...

Discovered Nile's branch that leaded to the Pyramid's construction site

Discovered through satellite surveys a branch of the Nile buried under the sand of the desert, which 4000 years ago connected all the places where over 30 pyramids of Ancient Egypt were built.

Discovered Nile's branch that leaded to the Pyramid's construction site
A piece behind the mystery of the construction of the pyramids of ancient Egypt has been solved thanks to a campaign of satellite and on-site radar investigations. Researchers from the University of North Carolina Wilmington have discovered an imposing branch of the Nile that once flowed close to today's strip of desert where 31 pyramids built between 2686 and 1649 BC, including those on the Giza plateau. That the pyramids had been built with the aid of waterways had always been one of the most accredited hypotheses as various previous studies lead to believe that in the past the Nile had a decidedly greater flow, with many more branc...

The Merovingians and the Holy Grail
The hypothesis of a mythical descent from Jesus and Mary Magdalene, derived from the decipherment of the Holy Grail as Sang Real, was the discovery-revelation of the best-sellers of a few years ago, starting from the famous The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by M Baigent - G. Leigh - H. Lincoln up to the more recent Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. These books and other studies have theorized the survival of a messianic lineage, which arrived in France with the landing of Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea on the coasts of Provence, which would then merge into the lineage of the ancient Merovingian sovereigns, the main descendants and guardians ...

Does human DNA contain a gene from the gods?
In this article I would like to make some reflections on human DNA and its presumed origin. What drives us to dig into our past? It is the desire for knowledge or simply the unconscious reaction to an ancient principle or to a future already experienced, to live a present, with a different awareness? In the vain search for answers we realize that time and space are relative concepts, about which modern man can only fantasize, conjecturing theses and hypotheses placed at the borders of human existence itself. Will we ever discover the history of our genesis? Maybe yes! But it will not be thanks to earthly man, because he lives enclosed in ...

Douglassarachne acanthopoda: The Mysterious Spiny Arachnid of the Past

Douglassarachne acanthopoda, a 308-million-year-old spiny fossil, challenges the classification of ancient arachnids. Discovered in Mazon Creek, Illinois, it represents a crucial era in the history of arachnids.

Douglassarachne acanthopoda: The Mysterious Spiny Arachnid of the Past
The long and spiny individual we are about to present to you is Douglassarachne acanthopoda , but for convenience we will call him Doug. We're joking :) At first glance, you might think it's just a spider, but wait a minute! This fossilized specimen, although it shares many characteristics of modern arachnids, has traits so unique that paleontologists have trouble classifying it. Spiders and their ancestors have populated our planet for approximately 400 million years. If we traveled back in time to the Carboniferous and found ourselves in the coal forests of North America or Europe, we might recognize creatures similar to spiders...
