I think you should be appointed as DU's Professor of Scientific Breakthroughs, Extremely Large Things and Extremely Old Stuff.

Oh and also Cool Stuff

Amazing as these reports are, they also give us a different perspective on our place in time and in the universe.

Looking forward to your next post

in the places I'm lucky enough to see at the right moment, checking through a news website which collects them continually. It really makes it easy. All that's missing is the time I'd love to spend doing this every waking hour!

Can't even want to imagine how much it brightens every day for me! I am seeing things so quickly which would take lifetimes, to stumble across in a life as it was before access to laptops, etc.! It's all happening just as new tools are arriving which speed discovery up locating sites covered by thick jungles, or hidden under desert sands all over the world! Woof!

You are so kind to share your comments, and it certainly is energizing thinking this information might be worthwhile for someone else. (Growing up, I couldn't stand reading great parts of books by myself and tried to read them to family members, in order to not explode!)



Thank you, so much.

Archaeologists have found the skeletal remains of four people — two children, a teenager and an adult — at a site in Peru that predates the Incas.


Archaeologists have unearthed the skeletal remains of four people who were buried in Peru's Viru Valley about 3,800 years ago, millennia before the Incas flourished in the region.

The burials of two children, a teenager and an adult were found in the remains of what is likely a temple, the archaeologists said in a translated statement. All four individuals were found lying on their sides and appear to face a mountain, the statement said. The remains of funerary goods, such as stone pendants and snail shells, were found with the deceased.

The burials date back to when people in Peru were constructing large buildings, including early pyramids, and using ceramics on a large scale. The new findings are only the latest unearthed at the archaeological site of Queneto in northern Peru, as archaeologists have been excavating there for more than 50 years. The site dates to the Early Formative period (circa 1800 to 900 B.C.) and predates the Inca Empire, which flourished in the Andean region of South America and lasted from about 1200 to the 1530s.

The temple containing the burials was built with cobblestone walls that were held together by clay plaster. The temple's walls have curved corners, and pottery fragments have been found at the site. It's possible that the temple had a cult associated with water, the statement said.

I always look forward to and enjoy your posts and feel so grateful for everyone out there doing the hard work of discovering these things and grateful for all the people willing to share these discoveries, even with those of us who might not fully understand them but can't help but feel better for a glimpse into all these previously unknown realms.

Thank you.

and I can find it, because I truly believe the really enormous information which will throw a new light over our grasp of things could happen at any time! It seems more likely each day. I'm really convinced what has passed as standard reality before has actually been wildly incomplete, or maybe even comical!

Thank you, so much, for taking the time to comment, EverHopeful. I really like your screen name choice!
