Hiki ndicho kinyesi kikubwa zaidi cha binadamu kuwahi kupatikana. Kilikuwa cha Viking mgonjwa katika karne ya 9 BK na sasa kina thamani ya $ 39,000.
Kinyesi "chenye thamani" kinaitwa rasmi Lloyds Bank Coprolite. Neno "coprolite" linamaanisha kinyesi cha zamani. Kielelezo hicho kinaaminika kuwa kikubwa zaidi kuwahi kurekodiwa. Ki

na umri wa miaka 1,200.
Sampuli hiyo, yenye urefu wa inchi 8 (karibu sentimeta 20) na upana wa inchi 2 (karibu sentimeta 5) ilipatikana mwaka wa 1972 na wafanyakazi wa ujenzi huko York, kaskazini-magharibi mwa Uingereza, walipokuwa wakijenga ofisi kwa ajili ya Lloyds TSB. Eneo hilo liliwahi kutawaliwa na wapiganaji wa Norse. Jina lake linatokana na Benki ya Lloyds.

Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."

Android ya kwanza duniani au iliyoratibiwa kiotomatiki ilikuwa mwaka wa 1774 wakati wa utawala wa Louis XVI, mtengenezaji wa saa wa Uswizi Pierre Jacques Dro aliunda mtaalamu huyu wa uhandisi.

Kwa macho ya wazi, "Mvulana mwenye

Kuandika" anaonekana kama toy ya zamani: mwanasesere wa mbao na kichwa cha porcelaini, bila viatu, na manyoya ya goose mkononi. Hata hivyo, ndani ya mwanasesere huyu kuna mshangao wa kiteknolojia: vipande 6,000 vya rununu vinatumia utaratibu wa uandishi ambao humgeuza "mtoto" kuwa mpigaji simu wa kwanza wa kiotomatiki duniani.

Imetengenezwa kwa miezi 20 ya kazi ngumu na Pierre Jacques Dro, "The Writing Boy" anaandika sentensi yake ya kwanza: "Mvumbuzi wangu ni Jacques Dro." Uwasilishaji huko Paris mnamo 1774 uliacha korti ya Mfalme Louis XVI bila la kusema.

Hatua muhimu katika historia ya robotiki na uhandisi:

• Android ya kwanza iliyopangwa duniani
• vipande 6,000 vya rununu katika utaratibu wa uandishi
• Iliundwa kwa miezi 20 na Pierre Jacques Dro
• Na ilianzishwa huko Paris mnamo 1774

The Saywite Stone, located in the Apurímac region of Peru, is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic artifacts of the Inca civilization. This massive block of granite, measuring approximately 11 meters in circumference and nearly 2.5 meters in height, is a masterpiece of intricate carvings that depict a complex array of figures and features. Its purpose and meaning remain a subject of debate among historians and archaeologists, adding to its allure.

At the top of the stone are around 203 detailed carvings. These include zoomorphic figures such as felines, lizards, and frogs; phytomorphic elements like trees and plants; and human-made structures resembling terraces, staircases, and channels. There are also geographical features that seem to mimic mountains, valleys, and water systems. These carvings are arranged in such a way that they interact with the natural contours and depressions of the stone, giving it an almost three-dimensional quality.

Many scholars believe the Saywite Stone served as a model or blueprint for Inca architects and engineers to study and plan their sophisticated hydraulic systems. The Incas were renowned for their advanced knowledge of water management, as seen in their terraced agriculture and complex irrigation networks. The carvings on the Saywite Stone might represent a microcosm of their real-world projects, illustrating how water could be channeled through various terrains and structures.

Others suggest that the stone had a ceremonial or religious significance. The Incas viewed water as a sacred element and a life-giving force, integral to their agricultural success and spiritual beliefs. The Saywite Stone could have been used in rituals to honor water deities or to seek blessings for successful irrigation and harvests.

The sheer complexity of the carvings and the precision with which they were executed highlight the Incas' artistic and engineering brilliance. Yet, the stone's exact function remains a mystery, as no written records accompany it. Its location, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Andean highlands, adds to its mystique and reinforces its possible spiritual significance.

The Saywite Stone stands as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the Inca civilization. Whether it was a practical tool, a ceremonial object, or a combination of both, it continues to captivate researchers and visitors alike, offering a glimpse into the sophisticated worldview of the ancient Andean people.

Kufunua Utukufu wa Kale wa Petra

Petra, jiji la kale huko Yordani, ni tovuti mashuhuri ya kiakiolojia. Ilianzishwa na Wanabataea katika karne ya 6 KK, ilitumika kama kitovu cha biashara na kituo cha kitamaduni. Usanifu wa miamba ya jiji na mfumo wa usimamizi wa maji ni ushahidi wa historia yake tajiri.

Hazina ya kitambo, au Al-Khazneh, ni facade ya ukumbusho iliyochongwa kwenye uso wa mwamba, maarufu kwa muundo wake tata na ukuu. Wageni huchunguza ukumbi wa michezo wa mtindo wa Kirumi, Mtaa wa Colonnaded na Monasteri, wakitoa maoni ya mandhari ya jangwani.

Siq, korongo nyembamba, hutumika kama lango kuu, linaloongoza watalii kwenye Hazina ya kupendeza. Magofu ya kupendeza ya Petra, yaliyochongwa kwenye miamba ya mchanga mwekundu, yanaipa jina la utani "Rose City." Tovuti hii ya Urithi wa Dunia wa UNESCO huvutia mamilioni, ikionyesha utukufu wake wa kale na uzuri wa usanifu.

Upendo, Nuru, na Mageuzi ya Milele.

Katika miaka ya 50, huko Camas (Hispania), wafanyikazi wengine walipata amphorae. Walipoivunja, hazina iliyofichwa na Mfalme Terion ilionekana: ilikuwa Hazina ya El Carambolo, ambayo ilikuwa imesubiri kwa milenia hadi kupatikana.
Hazina hiyo ni kutoka kwa ustaarabu wa Tartessan, labda iliyoundwa wakati wa karne ya sita KK, na ina vipande 21 ambavyo jumla yake ni kilo tatu.
Inajumuisha mkufu wenye pendenti, bangili mbili, pectoral mbili katika fomu ya ngozi ya ng'ombe na plaques 16 ambazo zinaweza kuwa sehemu ya mkufu au taji.
Utamaduni wa Tartessia ulikuwepo kutoka karne ya 9 hadi 6 KK katika sehemu ya kusini magharibi mwa Uhispania.
Watu wa Mediterania wa milenia ya kwanza KWK walijua kuhusu Tartessos, ambayo, kwao, ilikuwa mahali pa hadithi iliyojaa hazina zisizohesabika. Utajiri wa Tartessos ulielezewa na waandishi wa kale na kutajwa mara nyingi katika Biblia.
Kwa kuwa watu wa Tartessia wenyewe hawakutuachia ushuhuda wowote ulioandikwa na waandishi wa zamani wanataja kidogo ardhi hii ya zamani, utafiti wa kiakiolojia ndio ufunguo wa kuelewa utamaduni huu wa kipekee, ambao ulikuwa wa kwanza kwenye Peninsula ya Iberia kuwasiliana kwa karibu na tamaduni za zamani kutoka mashariki.

Picha hii ya 1921 inaonyesha Caribou Inuk kutoka Arviat, Northwest Territories, Kanada, akivalia Ilgaak, miwani ya kitamaduni ya theluji iliyotengenezwa kwa mbao, mfupa, pembe za ndovu za walrus, na pembe ya caribou. Miwaniko hii ilikuwa na jukumu muhimu katika kukinga macho dhidi ya upofu wa theluji unaosababishwa na mng'ao mkali wa Aktiki. (picha imerejeshwa na kupakwa rangi).

Ngome ya kale ya vilima ya Monte Mozinho, iliyoko karibu na Penafiel, Ureno, ilianza Enzi ya Chuma na imeibua fitina kubwa kutokana na muundo wake, ambao unafanana sana na Millennium Falcon kutoka kwa Franchise ya Star Wars. Kufanana huku kwa ajabu kunakaribisha uchunguzi wa kina zaidi: Je, ni bahati mbaya sana, au inaweza kumaanisha uhusiano wa kuvutia kati ya mitindo ya kale ya usanifu na simulizi za kisasa za kisayansi?

Sanamu Kubwa ya Karne ya 16 ya ‘Colossus’ Huko Florence, Italia; ina Vyumba vyote vilivyofichwa ndani ...
Colossus hii ya ajabu, nusu mtu, nusu ya mlima, ilijengwa mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1500 na mchongaji mashuhuri wa Italia Giambologna kama ishara ya milima mikali ya Appenine ya Italia. Mungu huyu wa mlima, anayeitwa kwa kufaa Appennino, ana urefu wa futi 35 juu ya ardhi ya Villa di Pratolino huko Toscany.
Sanamu yenye ukali, ya mlima huficha siri ya ajabu - mambo yake ya ndani huficha vyumba kadhaa na kazi tofauti ambazo zilifanya colossus hii hai. Mnyama huyo ambaye mkono wake wa kushoto unamshikilia alitoa maji kutoka kwenye kijito cha chini ya ardhi, na inasemekana kwamba nafasi kichwani mwake ilitengenezewa mahali pa moto ambapo, ikiwashwa, ingepuliza moshi kutoka puani mwake.

Elon Musk isn’t thinking like we humans.

That guy is so out of this world.

Imagine living in your own car in the wilderness.

Those who shoot wildlife photography, this is what they need exactly.

Goodness me I love this.
