Yes, these are real images of a cave in Thailand that looks like a giant petrified snake.
Naka oe Naga Cave in Thailand is often described as the ‘Snake Cave of Thailand’, Naka Cave owes its name to its snake-like rocks and formations.
In Buddhist stories, the giant snake rock is linked to the mythological creature called "Naga." A naga is said to be part human and part snake, living in the underworld but sometimes appearing as a human.
According to legend, the Mekong River in northeastern Thailand and Laos was made by two Naga kings, who moved through the land that is now Phu Langka National Park. If we believe the old legends, it's possible that the snake rock could be one of the Naga kings, resting in a deep sleep.
You can find the cave within the borders of the Phu Langka National Park in Bueng Kan Province. The park is on the northeastern border of Thailand, and can also be accessed from Laos. Moreover, the national park is a 10-hour car drive from Bangkok.

4000 year old olive tree in Greece! This tree started growing around 2000 BC, during the Bronze Age, around the time the last wooly mammoth was hunted, the 7th dynasty of Egypt was over and humans discovered the existence of glass. This tree has seen humans go from the Bronze Age to the Atomic Age. It has witnessed our changing world and lived through many wars. It has seen many kings, politicians, warriors, and prophets go from birth to death, and it still continues to produces olives annually!

Gunkanjima Island - Nagasaki, Japan
Once the most densely populated place in the world, this island is now a ghost town.
FEW PLACES IN THE WORLD have a history as odd, or as poignant as Gunkanjima’s.
The tiny, fortress-like island lies just off the coast of Nagasaki. The island is ringed by a seawall, covered in tightly packed buildings, and entirely abandoned - a ghost town that has been completely uninhabited for more than forty years.
In the early 1900s, Gunkanjima was developed by the Mitsubishi Corporation, which believed - correctly - that the island was sitting on a rich submarine coal deposit.
For almost the next hundred years, the mine grew deeper and longer, stretching out under the seabed to harvest the coal that was powering Japan’s industrial expansion.
By 1941, the island, less than one square kilometer in area, was producing 400,000 tonnes of coal per year.
And many of those working slavishly in the undersea mine were forced laborers from Korea.
Even more remarkable than the mine was the city that had grown up around it.
To accommodate the miners, ten-story apartment complexes were built up on the tiny rock - a high-rise maze linked together by courtyards, corridors, and stairs. There were schools, restaurants, and gaming houses, all encircled by the protective seawall.
The island became known as “Midori nashi Shima,” the island without green.
Amazingly, by the mid-1950s, it housed almost six thousand people, giving it the highest population density the world has ever known. And then the coal ran out.
Mitsubishi closed the mine, everyone left, and this island city was abandoned, left to revert back to nature.
The apartments began to crumble, and for the first time, in the barren courtyards, green things started to grow. Broken glass and old newspapers blew over the streets. The sea-breeze whistled through the windows.
Now, fifty years later, the island is exactly as it was just after Mitsubishi left. A ghost town in the middle of the sea.

According to this study, there would also exist another tunnel or chamber leading to the top of the pyramid, which no one has yet been able to enter. In addition, some of the so-called "ventilation tunnels" inside the Great Pyramid are "blind." This means that they are born and die inside the pyramid, never reaching the outside. These tunnels were 'closed' later, after the original construction had been completed.
...
These and other clues (such as, for example, the presence of several 'royal chambers' within the Pyramid that are not aligned with each other) give reasonable certainty that in fact the present Great Pyramid was built on an earlier, much older structure.

📌‘ Siberian unicorn’ once roamed among humans, surviving in Eastern Europe and western Asia until at least 39,000 years ago, around the same time of Neanderthals and early modern humans.

Katika Mkoa wa Sankurfa, Uturuki, wanaakiolojia waligundua sanamu muhimu yenye urefu wa futi saba na nusu inayoonyesha mwanamume akiwa ameshika sehemu zake za siri kwa mikono miwili.
Takwimu hii ya zamani inatoka Karahan Tepe, iliyoanzia takriban miaka 11,000, na inahusishwa na maeneo ya jirani ya Gobekli Tepe na Karahan Tepe, inayojulikana kama baadhi ya tovuti kongwe zaidi za mahekalu duniani.

Mnamo 2021, mkulima wa Argentina Juan de Dios Sota aligundua ugunduzi mzuri sana alipokuwa akitunza shamba lake karibu na Rincón de Valle: makombora manne makubwa ya kivita ya Glyptodon, yaliyozikwa kwa zaidi ya miaka 10,000. Viumbe hawa wa kabla ya historia, sawa na kakakuona wakubwa, walizunguka-zunguka Duniani wakati wa Enzi ya Barafu iliyopita (kipindi cha Pleistocene). Upatikanaji wa nadra wa makombora mengi ya kivita kwa pamoja unapendekeza tovuti hii inaweza kuwa mahali pazuri pa kukutanikia kwa majitu haya ya zamani.
Mahali pa mapumziko ya Glyptodons huenda ilitokana na tukio la ghafla, la janga—labda mabadiliko ya haraka ya hali ya hewa, mafuriko makubwa, au mtego wa mashapo (mazishi ya matope)—iliyowazika chini ya tabaka za mashapo. Hali ya kipekee ya uhifadhi wa makombora haya ya kivita inaonyesha kuwa yalifunikwa haraka, na kuyalinda kutokana na mmomonyoko na kuoza. Ugunduzi huu wa ajabu haufichui maarifa mapya tu katika maisha ya viumbe hawa wakubwa bali pia unatoa mwangaza wenye nguvu katika ulimwengu wa kale walioishi, ulioundwa na nguvu zilezile za asili zisizosamehe.
