Mysterious ancient cemetery in Egypt could contain a million mummies
A mysterious ancient cemetery in Egypt could contain more than a million mummified human remains, archaeologists have claimed.
Around 1,700 bodies have so far been uncovered at the Fag el-Gamous (Way of the Water Buffalo) site, around 60 miles south of Cairo. But experts believe that countless more are contained in the burial ground.
“We are fairly certain we have over a million burials within this cemetery. It's large, and it's dense,” said project director Kerry Muhlestein, an associate professor in the Department of Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University (BYU), which has been examining the site for around 30 years. They were placed there between the 1st and the 7th centuries AD, but the scale of the site has left many baffled. A nearby village has been deemed too small to warrant such a large cemetery, while the closest major settlements had their own burial grounds.
“It's hard to know where all these people were coming from,” Professor Muhlestein told Live Science.
Another interesting find was that the corpses appeared to be grouped together by hair colour, with one section containing the remains of those with blonde hair and another for those with red hair. The bodies, which included a man of more than seven feet in height, are thought to be of ordinary citizens, rather than the royalty found at many famous Egyptian sites. They were not buried in coffins, according to Muhlestein, and were in fact mummified not by design but by the arid natural environment.
“The people in the cemetery represent the common man. They are the average people who are usually hard to learn about because they are not very visible in written sources. A lot of their wealth, or the little that they had, was poured into these burials.”
His team discovered objects including glassware, jewellery and linen. The findings were presented to the Scholars Colloquim at the Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities in Toronto last month.

Why do we have blood types?
In 1996 a naturopath named Peter D’Adamo published a book called Eat Right 4 Your Type. D’Adamo argued that we must
eat according to our blood type, in order to harmonise with our evolutionary heritage. Blood types, he claimed, “appear to have arrived
at critical junctures of human development.” According to D’Adamo, type O blood arose in our hunter-gatherer ancestors in Africa,
type A at the dawn of agriculture, and type B developed between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago in the Himalayan highlands. Type AB,
he argued, is a modern blending of A and B.
From these suppositions, D’Adamo then claimed that our blood type determines what food we should eat. With my agriculture-based type A blood, for example, I should be a vegetarian. People with the ancient hunter type O should have a meat-rich diet and
avoid grains and dairy. According to the book, foods that are not suited to our blood type contain antigens that can cause all sorts of
illness. D’Adamo recommended his diet as a way to reduce infections, lose weight, fight cancer and diabetes, and slow the ageing
process.
D’Adamo’s book has sold seven million copies and has been translated into 60 languages. It has been followed by a string of
other blood type diet books; D’Adamo also sells a line of blood-type-tailored diet supplements on his website. As a result, doctors
often get asked by their patients if blood type diets actually work.
The best way to answer that question is to run an experiment. In Eat Right 4 Your Type D’Adamo wrote that he was in the
eighth year of a decade-long trial of blood type diets on women with cancer. Eighteen years later, however, the data from this trial
have not yet been published.
Recently, researchers at the Red Cross in Belgium decided to see if there was any other evidence in the diet’s favor. They
hunted through the scientific literature for experiments that measured the benefits of diets based on blood types. Although they
examined over 1,000 studies, their efforts were fruitless. “There is no direct evidence supporting the health effects of the ABO blood
type diet,” says Emmy De Buck of the Belgian Red Cross-Flanders.
After De Buck and her colleagues published their review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, D’Adamo responded on
his blog. In spite of the lack of published evidence supporting his Blood Type Diet, he claimed that the science behind it is right. “There
is good science behind the blood type diets, just like there was good science behind Einstein’s mathematical calculations that led to
the Theory of Relativity,” he wrote.

Consider the following statements concerning blood types and their specific diets defended by Peter D’Adamo:
1. Type O blood people must eat a lot of meat and avoid milk, yogurt and cheese, for example. 2. Type O blood appeared before the other blood types. 3. Type B diet, which is rich in yogurt, milk, cheese and meat, can cause diabetes. 4. People who want to slow the ageing process or fight cancer and diabetes should follow the blood type diet. 5. Type A blood people should eat many vegetables because this blood type is related to agriculture.

After decades of trying to protect rapidly shrinking forests, Brazil has launched a digital platform called BVRio, short for Bolsa Verde do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro Green Exchange). Growers who have more untouched forest than legally required can sell “quotas,” one hectare at a time, to farmers who fall short for a price determined by supply and demand. Under the rule, growers have to keep a minimum amount of native growth on their properties, ranging from 20 to 80 percent of their land depending on the type of vegetation. The trading platform, launched in December 2012, allows farmers to find and negotiate directly with each other.

After decades of trying to protect rapidly shrinking forests, Brazil has launched a digital platform called BVRio, short for Bolsa Verde do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro Green Exchange). Growers who have more untouched forest than legally required can sell “quotas,” one hectare at a time, to farmers who fall short for a price determined by supply and demand. Under the rule, growers have to keep a minimum amount of native growth on their properties, ranging from 20 to 80 percent of their land depending on the type of vegetation. The trading platform, launched in December 2012, allows farmers to find and negotiate directly with each other.

‘Brazilian Atlantis’: Scientists discover traces of sunken continent under Atlantic Ocean
Granite formed on dry land has been discovered beneath the ocean off the coast of Brazil. Scientists suggest that it might be part of a sunken continent which disappeared millions of years ago and already branded it ‘Brazilian Atlantis’.
A Japanese-manned submersible discovered a large mass of granite and a large amount of quartz sand 900 miles off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, according to the announcement made by The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and the Geology Service of Brazil (CPRM).
These materials, normally found on dry land, suggest that a continent once existed in the region and then sank. “It is unusual because it is granite rock,” CPRM geology director Roberto Ventura Santos as quoted by ‘The Telegraph’. “And you don’t find granite on the seabed. It is more usual to find it on the mainland.”
The granite was discovered in a seabed that was estimated to have disappeared under the ocean waters tens of millions of years ago.
“South America and Africa used to be a huge, unified continent. The area in question may have been left in water as the continent was separated in line with the movements of plates,” said Shinichi Kawakami, a professor at Gifu University, Japan Times reports.
The material was reportedly found more than 8,000 feet beneath the sea in a region known as the Rio Grande Elevation.
“This is the region that has been least explored worldwide,” added Kawakami. “So, we believe it is very important to research it.”
“From an analysis, we began to see that the area could be a piece of the continent that disappeared into the sea millions of years ago,” Santos said as quoted by AFP. “This could be Brazil’s Atlantis. We are almost certain, but we need to strengthen this hypothesis.”
The fabled island was first mentioned by Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues ‘Timaeus’ and ‘Critias’, written about 360 BC. According to Plato, Atlantis was situated in front of the Pillars of Hercules, the phrase that was applied in Antiquity to the promontories that flank the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The civilization of Atlantis conquered many parts of Western Europe and Africa approximately 9600 BC. But the continent is believed to have sunk during a catastrophic natural disaster.
Scientists plan to drill for more samples later this year, as further confirmation is needed. Experts still remain cautious about jumping to conclusions.
