A remarkable piece of gold jewelry
"(1st Century AD), was discovered in Pompeii: a bracelet weighing 610 grams, featuring a two-headed snake with glass eyes. The serpent is depicted holding a medallion of the goddess Diana, adding both mystique and symbolism to the piece. Its intricate design reflects the artistic craftsmanship of the time, combining beauty with powerful iconography, common in Roman jewelry of the era.
The bracelet was found in a tragic context, on the arm of a woman who perished during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Alongside her, another adult and a child also lost their lives when a balcony in their home collapsed. The discovery of the bracelet, along with the remains of the victims, offers a poignant glimpse into the final moments of Pompeii's inhabitants, forever preserved in the volcanic ash.
This bracelet later gave its name to one of the most famous houses in Pompeii: "The House of the Gold Bracelet." Excavations of the site revealed the luxury and opulence that defined the house, with the bracelet serving as a symbol of the wealth and status of its inhabitants. Today, it stands as a significant archaeological artifact, linking the artistry of Pompeian craftsmanship to the tragic history of the city’s destruction."

That road is in pretty good condition after thousands of years of weathering, volcanos erupting and so on..
Federal employee retirements are processed using paper, by hand, in an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. 700+ mine workers operate 230 feet underground to process ~10,000 applications per month, which are stored in manila envelopes and cardboard boxes. The retirement process takes multiple months.

An intact ceremonial chariot unearthed at the Pompeii archaeological site is being hailed as the first artifact of its kind ever found in Italy
“It is an extraordinary discovery for the advancement of our knowledge of the ancient world," Massimo Osanna, outgoing director of the site.
The ancient city was destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD, and has been the site of ongoing archaeological study since 1700s. The chariot was meticulously uncovered since its discovery on Jan. 7, 2021 inside the portico of a stable outside the walls of the main settlement. The remains of three animals, including a horse still in its harness, were previously found nearby.
The news release, issued by the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, describes the intact chariot as having "four wheels, along with its iron components, beautiful bronze and tin decorations," as well as imprints of organic materials including ropes and floral decorations.

The extinction of the dinosaurs, which occurred around 66 million years ago, is a topic of ongoing scientific debate. There are two main theories
Asteroid Impact: The most widely accepted theory is that a massive asteroid or comet struck the Earth near what is now the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, creating the Chicxulub crater.
The impact would have thrown enormous amounts of dust and debris into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and causing a dramatic cooling of the Earth's climate, which led to the extinction of the dinosaurs
Volcanic Activity: Another theory suggests that massive volcanic eruptions in the Deccan Traps region of India also played a significant role. These eruptions released large amounts of lava, ash, and gases like sulfur
dioxide and carbon dioxide, which could have caused climate changes and acid rain, contributing to the extinction
What makes Pompeii so unique is that the volcanic ash preserved the city almost perfectly. When it was rediscovered in the 18th century, archaeologists found buildings, artifacts,
and even the bodies of the victims, frozen in time. These remains have provided invaluable insights into ancient Roman life, from the layout of homes and public buildings to the daily activities of its inhabitant
The eruption spewed a massive cloud of ash, pumice, and volcanic gases into the sky, which then rained down on Pompeii. The city was buried under up to 20 feet (6 meters) of volcanic debris. Many residents
tried to flee, but the pyroclastic flows—fast-moving, extremely hot mixtures of gas and volcanic matter—were too swift2. Tragically, around 2,000 people lost their lives
The story of Pompeii is both fascinating and tragic. Pompeii was an ancient Roman city located near modern-day Naples in Italy. It was a bustling and prosperous town until August 24, 79 A.D., when Mount Vesuvius, a nearby volcano, erupted catastrophically
Mauna Loa (Hawaii): Another Hawaiian legend involves Kamapua'a, a demigod who was able to take the form of a pig and is said to have caused volcanic eruptions by digging through the earth
Icelandic Trolls: Icelandic folklore includes stories of trolls who lived in the mountains and could cause volcanic eruptions. These trolls were believed to be responsible for various natural phenomena, including volcanic activity
Pele (Hawaii): Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes and fire. She is said to live in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater of Kīlauea volcano. According to legend, her temper is responsible for the volcanic activity.
Mount Vesuvius (Italy): The ancient Romans believed that the god Vulcan, the god of fire and volcanoes, resided in Mount Vesuvius. They thought that the eruptions were the work of Vulcan's forge.
Mount Fuji (Japan): In Japanese folklore, Mount Fuji is considered a sacred mountain. One legend tells of the goddess Konohana Sakuya Hime, who is associated with volcanoes and is said to reside in Mount Fuji
Mount Etna was believed to be the forge of Hephaestus, the god of fire and blacksmiths. The eruptions were said to be the result of his metalworking (Greek)

Giant tube worms (Riftia pachyptila):
These large tube-dwelling worms are one of the most iconic creatures of hydrothermal vents
Many organisms found near underwater volcanoes have distinctive appearances, such as the large red-tipped tube worms and shrimp with eyes on their backs
Chemosynthesis:
Unlike most life on Earth, creatures around hydrothermal vents use chemicals like sulfur compounds to produce energy through a process called chemosynthesis
Extremophiles:
These organisms are uniquely adapted to the harsh conditions like high temperature and chemical pressure near volcanic vents
Lifeforms found near underwater volcanoes, particularly around hydrothermal vents, include giant tube worms, deep-sea mussels, shrimp with unusual eye placement, ghostly fish,
various types of crabs, and specialized bacteria, all adapted to the extreme heat and chemical conditions of the volcanic environment; they primarily use sulfur, not sunlight, to survive
shield volcanoes are typical of the Cascades Range in the US Pacific Northwest and Japan

Underwater lava cools into pillow lava, which is round and bulbous.
Volcanoes form when tectonic plates collide and one dives beneath the other, creating a subduction zone
Undersea volcanoes are home to diverse life forms
Scientists have predicted future eruptions for some undersea volcanoes, including Axial Seamount near Oregon
Scientists have discovered new volcanoes using satellite data and by exploring the ocean with ships. For example, scientists discovered a volcano-like structure in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska
Volcanoes are found all over the ocean, including along the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean
As of May 2023, scientists have discovered over 19,000 undersea volcanoes. However, only 20% of the ocean floor has been mapped by ships
Yes, there are likely many undiscovered volcanoes in the ocean
Supervolcanoes and their enormous eruptions | Natural History Museum
supervolcano eruption could release large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas, which could lead to global cooling and ozone depletion
The yearly probability of another caldera-forming eruption at Yellowstone is about 1 in 730,000
The most recent Yellowstone Caldera eruption was about 630,000 years ago
The most recent supervolcano eruption was in Toba, Indonesia, about 74,000 years ago
Supervolcanoes erupt roughly every 50,000 years
Because of the dung beetle's significance in ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle came to represent the eternal cycle of life. Like the dung beetle's revolving ball, the scarab became a symbol of birth, life, death, and resurrection
Amulets and funerary practices:
Scarab amulets, particularly those with wings, were commonly worn by the living and placed on the bodies of the deceased to ensure a smooth passage to the afterlife
Symbolism of rebirth:
The wings on the scarab represent the ability to fly, signifying the soul's journey to the afterlife and the concept of resurrection
God association:
The flying scarab is primarily linked to the sun god Khepri, who is often depicted with a scarab beetle head, as the Egyptians believed the beetle pushed the sun across the sky each morning, mirroring its rolling of dung balls

In ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, a "flying scarab" represents the concept of rebirth and renewal, often associated with the sun god Khepri, and is typically depicted as a scarab beetle with wings, signifying the ability to travel to the afterlife and the cycle of life and
death; this image is a powerful symbol of regeneration and is frequently found on amulets and tomb paintings.
