Brigida Soriano/AlamyThe text also provides more detail about Plato’s final night – and he wasn’t a fan of the music that was played. The project, called the Greek Schools project, is a five-year study using various technologies and methods to help decipher the fragile papyri. “The new readings often draw on new and concrete facts about Plato’s Academy, Hellenistic literature, Philodemus of Gadara and ancient history in general.”

Murat Cetinmuhurdar/Presidential Press Office/Handout via REUTERSANKARA, April 20 (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday flicked the switch on Turkey's first delivery of natural gas to an onshore plant from a reserve discovered in the Black Sea, and promised to provide free natural gas for households before May 14 elections. "We will provide free natural gas for household consumption up to 25 cubic meters monthly for one year," Erdogan said at the inauguration of an onshore natural gas port in the northern province of Zonguldak. Limitless natural gas for all household consumption will be free for the next month, Erdogan said. 10 million cubic metres of gas per day in Turkey's Black Sea gas fields will be produced initially, Erdogan said. Production will be increased to 40 million cubic metres of gas per day in the coming period, he said.

☆ Dovezile arată că oamenii timpurii ar fi hibernat pentru a supraviețui iernilor nemiloase
▼ + stars: | 2021-01-13 | by ( ) www.jurnal.md time to read: +2 min

Oamenii de știință argumentează că leziunile și alte semne observate pe oasele fosilizate ale oamenilor timpurii sunt la fel ca cele descoperite pe oasele altor animale care hibernează. Astfel, asta sugerează că predecesorii noștri făceau față iernilor nemiloase prin faptul că își încetineau metabolismul și dormeau timp de mai multe luni. Aceste fosile datează din urmă cu 400.000 de ani și provin cel mai probabil de la neandertalienii timpurii sau predecesorii lor. Acest sit este unul dintre cele mai importante tezaure paleontologice ale planetei noastre și a oferit detalii cruciale despre modul în care evoluția umană a avut loc în Europa. Totodată, cercetătorii au recunoscut că ideea „ar putea părea de domeniul științifico-fantasticului”, însă aceștia subliniază că multe mamifere, inclusiv primatele, hibernează.
