The suspense pulls us in. We like to read about them, see shows about them, and try to solve them. Absolutely, mankind has always tried to make the unknown known. As we have passed through years, we have got new answers for some mysteries, riddles and understanding of the world. It is impossible that history will ever reveal all our secrets, but at least we have managed to create some more dance in our collective ignorance.
1. The Death Of Male Mammoths
In 2017, scientists believed that they received an answer to a quirk in the fossil record: why about 70 percent of woolen large residues were men. The research team led by the Swedish Museum of Natural History concluded that gender equality was equal to the birth in the ratio, but due to the hierarchy of large society and living arrangements, it got worse. Like modern elephants, their woolen counterparts lived in groups under the leadership of old age. Most of these groups included women Mammoth and their youth. However, when they reached adulthood, men were kicked and sent to live in their own or form Bachelor groups. Without the support of the herd and the experience of the parents, these young men were engaged in more "risk taking behavior". While more deaths resulted from such behavior, it was also favorable to protection. Men alone were eager to fall prey to natural death trap like socksholes, bogs and crews. Their remains were buried and most of the ice age was protected from the weather, unlike animals, which included many female counterparts.
2. The Missing Swiss Couple
One day, Marcelin Dumoulin and his wife, Francine, went to a grassy field to feed their cows and give milk to the Swiss village of Chandolin. He was not seen again for 75 years. Dumulians disappeared on August 15, 1942. Finally, in July 2017, he was found when a soluble glacier opened his frozen body. The snow had preserved residues, which were found with their belongings and their identification letters. Later DNA tests positively confirmed that the body was Marcelin and Francin Dumoulin. It seems that the pair fell into a swamp, where they stayed away for decades. Once the Tsanfleuron glacier began to decline, eventually it uncovered its body. According to regional officials, such a thing is not overlooked. Due to climate change, the glaciers behind the glaciers have been unveiled regularly, which have disappeared years or even decades ago.
3. Painting The Terra-Cotta Army
A large collection of about 9,000 statues representing the soldiers, chariots, and horses buried with the Terra-Kotta army, the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, which were recovered back in 1974, which later in their lives To serve as the royal guard. When they were found, some sculptures still included patch of minute residues of colored pigment and compulsive material, which is very rare in the statues buried underground in water-saturated sediments from two millennia. The pigments have been identified first - the inorganic compound like Sinabar, Azurite and Malachite - but the exact method used to paint the binding agent and terra-kotta army is still hidden. To find your answer, Chinese scientists used a state-of-the-art technology called matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-off-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The high level of sensitivity provided accurate results despite the trace amounts of the bonding agent. As a result, the "artificially aged" sampling of period-accurate adhesive samples was compared through peptide mass fingerprinting, which identified proteins in each sample. According to the study, the ancient Qune dynasty artists first put sculptures in one or two layers of butter which comes from the Toxicodendron tree, which is commonly known as the Chinese Lahore tree. After this, they either apply directly to the polychrome layers or, in most cases, use binding media made from animal gums.
4. The Mystery Of Blood Falls
In 1911, geographer Thomas Griffith Taylor came to an eager course of water flowing from the tongue of Taylor Glacier in eastern Antarctica. It earned the name of blood falls due to its harsh color, which caused scientists more trouble than a century. Initially, people believed that the color was due to the red algae. However, it was rejected, and the researchers felt that it was iron oxide which made the water red, although he was not sure how or until 2017 A joint study between the University of Colorado College and Alaska Fairbanks used the radio-echo sound radar that the waterfall was linked to a large source of shiny water that was trapped for more than a million years under the Taylor Glacier.entists more trouble than a century. Due to the high concentration of salts, 91 meters (300 feet) of the sea stood well against the fresh snow around the path. However, the researchers were surprised to find liquid water, something that they thought was extremely impossible within the very cold icy mass. In fact, the Taylor Glacier is now the coldest known glacier, which is constantly flowing water. This discovery has a particularly interesting effect for astrologer who thinks of the harsh environment like blood falls like what we can face in other worlds like Jupiter's moon, Europa. This gives them relatively easy access to extremists without drilling them through ice caps, contaminating potentially intact environments.
5. Why The Largest Primate Went Extinct
Although it is generally believed that gigantopithecus was the largest primate to roam the earth, some fossils have provided us with an obscure picture of our actual size. Experts say that it was between 1.8 to 3 meters (6-10 feet) long and between 200 to 500 kg (440-1100 pounds). They certainly can not even say how long Gigantopitheque was around, although they believe that the huge app was in existence 100 million years ago. Regardless of all the uncertainty, researchers from the Sankenburg Center for Human Evolution and Palenoin Environment (HEP) in Germany believe that they have clarified at least one secret around primates - why gigantopithecus became extinct. According to him, the app died due to its inability to adapt. By studying the fossils' tooth enamel, they discovered that Gigantothithex was a particularly vegetarian, but it did not eat bamboo simply because others suggested it. This diet restricts the habitat of animals to forests. However, during the Pleistocene, large areas of wild landscapes in China and Thailand where Gigantopithepse Savannah became. Its app had a major impact on food sources, before it became favorable to a new diet, it became extinct.
