Dozens of cat mummies and tombs from the 25th century BC Found in Egypt

Egyptian archaeologists found dozens of cat mummies and a tomb dating to the Fifth Dynasty - ruling in the early 25th century BC - on the edge of the King Userkaf pyramid complex in Saqqara, south of Cairo.

The mummy was found along with approximately 100 cat statues made of gilded wood, as well as a bronze statue dedicated to the cat goddess, Bastet.

In ancient Egyptian culture, cats had a special position and were often mummified as part of funeral ceremonies.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Youssef, director of the Saqqara website, said the tomb found had never been opened at all.

"These tombs date from the Fifth Dynasty and their shape is unusual because the front and the door are connected to each other. This means that the contents of the tomb have not been touched. Experts plan to open this tomb in the next few weeks," he explained.

Egypt's fifth dynasty itself came to power in 2,500-2,350 BC not long before the great pyramids of Giza were built.

Apart from cat mummies and tombs, archaeologists have also found several other ancient artifacts. Among them, the mummified beetles in the seven sarcophagi tombs, wooden statues gilded with lions, cows and eagles, wooden sarcophagi containing mummies along with cobras, and two wooden sarcophagi that are shaped like crocodiles.

According to archaeologists, the finds are more than 6,000 years old.

Archaeologists Discover the Tomb of an Indigenous Bolivian Tribe, what was it like?

A group of archaeologists in Bolivia say they have found tombs containing human remains and hundreds of skeletons belonging to the indigenous Pacajes who occupied the area 500 years ago.

Bolivia's Ministry of Culture and Tourism ordered the excavation process three months ago, after mining officials found archaeological items in an underground burial chamber - about 18.6 miles southwest of the Bolivian capital La Paz.

“Inside the cemetery, we found two special graves. One tomb contains 108 individuals each. Even though the conditions were very bad, we were able to recover several objects, "said Wanderson Esquerdo, archaeologist.

After excavations began in June, archaeologists said the microorganisms caused damage to the soft tissues of the body, causing them to rot rapidly. Excessive humidity and high salinity in the room also worsen the condition of buried objects.

To reach the tomb, the researchers had to descend through a circular chimney that was only 27.5 inches in diameter and 9 meters deep.

As well as human remains, the largest of the tombs contain metal objects, as well as ceramic and wooden plates.

“Obviously there are objects related to Inca culture. However, apart from that, it comes from the Aymara Kingdom, ”added Esquerdo.

The indigenous Pacajes in the Aymara Kingdom had occupied the Bolivian plateau until they were conquered by the Inca Empire in the mid-15th century. Even so, according to archaeologists, the Pacajes did not die from being killed by the Incas, but from the plague.

Flash floods with black mud lunge in Arizona, what causes it?

Officials in Arizona share a video of black mud inundating Pima County. The video, which was posted on the official Twitter account @pimaarizona, was taken on July 15 at the Cañada del Oro Wash drainage channel, after a "minor storm" broke out in the region.

Reporting from IFL Science, the fast-moving black mud is a flood of mud and debris exacerbated by forest fires.

The video, which was uploaded with the hashtag #FloodsFollowFires, is also a warning and shows how fast the flash flood is moving.

“Even light rain can cause flash floods full of mud. And it comes without warning, "said the Arizona authorities.

Forest fires themselves increase the risk of flash floods. This is because the scorched and dry land loses its ability to absorb water. This is what makes light rain can trigger severe flooding.

Not only did it move swiftly, it swept away anything it encountered — including mud, rocks, and trees. This creates the potential for damage and destruction.

If the soil has not recovered and the plants have not grown back, there is a possibility that this muddy flash flood will hit again in the following years.

It is suspected that the flash floods were runoff from the Bighorn Fires that engulfed the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, Arizona, since June 5.

Is Fukushima's Plan to Dispose of Radioactive Contaminated Water into the Sea, Is it Safe?

Efforts to clean up the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan continue to run into difficulties. After the nuclear contaminated water leaks and flows to the ground, there is about one million tonnes of waste containing radioactive elements threatening the water storage pumps around the area.

Now, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, is asked to immediately find a solution regarding these large tanks of contaminated water.

TEPCO has been tinkering with the idea of ​​slowly dumping contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean, after using chemicals to remove the largest content of radioactive elements.

Proponents of the idea say that this is not as dangerous as it sounds because most of the radioactive elements would have been released from water beforehand — except for tritium, a radioactive element that has a relatively short lifespan and does not last long.

However, a recent study published in the journal Science, suggests that the plan is very risky. According to marine chemists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, tritium is not the only problem.

They found that other isotopes, including carbon-14, cobalt-60, and strontium-90, would remain in wastewater discharged into the ocean.

"The concentration of this radioactive isotope is lower than tritium, but varies considerably from tank to tank," said the researcher.

"More than 70% of the water in these tanks requires secondary treatment to reduce radioactive concentrations to the limit set by law, before being released into the sea," they added.

If simply dumped into the sea, the contaminated water will add further radiation to the marine environment and endanger life there.

Even so, the researchers argue that there is hope and a solution for the safe disposal of wastewater in the ocean. However, it requires further water treatment and expert input to verify if it is really safe.

"It's a big problem, but it can be solved," said Ken Buesseler, study leader and marine chemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

“The first step is to clean any additional radioactive contaminants left in the tank. If you want to keep releasing it into the ocean, you need an independent group that tracks all potential contaminants in seawater, seabed and marine life. The health of the oceans and the livelihoods of many people depend on this so it must be done properly, ”he explained.
