THE FIRST-EVER RAP HIT SONG PRODUCED…..was Rapper’s Delight in the summer of 1979…..three rappers named the Sugar Hill Gang recorded it and it was produced by Sugar Hill Records……Sylvia Robinson……the CEO and founder of Sugar Hill Records and the Producer of Rapper’s Delight…..and a little later produced……The Message by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five in 1982…..it is said that Melle Mel did not want to record the seven-minute rap song…..that shared brutal honesty of social issues in the city at the time…..but she insisted….and she was right…..both rap songs became instant hits that made history by putting rap music…… created by the voiceless in the streets of NYC…… front and center for the rest of America…..this woman started it all…..this woman is responsible for the start of rap.
ARCHAEOLOGIST HAVE LONG SUSPECTED…..that some of the “heads” on Easter Island had a buried body…..at the same time, the “giant heads”…… several meters high, were thought to be an exception…..in fact, if these heads had an underlying body…..they would have had to be real stone giants….at least 20 meters tall, to meet the proportions……recent excavations have shown that the “giant heads” on Easter Island are actually buried “stone giants”….. whose heads emerged from the earth…..how did statues weighing several tons end up almost 20 meters deep?….if they did it on purpose, how did they manage to do it without breaking them?…..Easter Island is little more than a small island…..where did they get the manpower to bury dozens and dozens of “stone giants” in the middle of the Ocean?…..the Egyptians were able to do similar things…..but they had the manpower of an empire at their disposal…..what labor force did the islanders of tiny Easter Island have at their disposal?….the same thing happened in Nan Madol…..a mysterious people built a metropolis on a small island in the middle of the Ocean…..of course, it is possible to do that…..but provided you have the manpower of an empire…..but what manpower was available on a totally isolated island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?……the same thing happened on the border between Turkey and Syria…..an entire megalithic complex was completely buried….no one knows by whom….no one knows why….this site has been called “Göbekli Tepe”…..meaning “the belly hill”……but under that hill is one of the deepest mysteries of humankind…..recent studies have revealed that there are dozens of sites similar to Göbekli Tepe buried” many meters deep…..was it a civilization unknown to us that later disappeared due to a natural cataclysm?…….several scientific articles appearing in the famous scientific journal Nature…..tell us that over 10,000 years ago a series of comets passed through Earth’s atmosphere…..shattering into thousands of pieces…..the Earth was hit by a veritable bombardment of fragments that struck at least four continents……and nothing was ever the same again…..there was a real “Apocalypse” in prehistory….which wiped out an unknown number of “homo sapiens.””
THE ONLY MUMMY…….that scientists did not dare and refused to remove the linen from because……there is no human being or technology in the entire world that can return it as it was…..in 1919, in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt…..the “Bashiri” mummy was discovered by the famous Egyptologist Howard Carter…..this mummy stands tall in its mystery….refusing to submit to modern science…..the process of wrapping the mummy in linen is considered one of the most important stages of mummification…..as it requires extreme skill and precision to ensure the stability of the body and protect it from external factors.
OLDER PEOPLE……before Homo Sapiens…..Homo Naledi buried his dead and created cave drawings 100,000 years ago…….Homo Naleda, one of the extinct species of human cousins, exhibited sophisticated activities……including body burial and wall art on caves….it was formerly believed that only humans and neanderthals……with higher brain capacity, engaged in these activities…..2013 saw scientists discover Homo Naledi fossils in Rising Star….a cave system in South Africa…..the bones were found to be purposefully buried in a certain manner, with the bodies crowded together and covered with dirt…..at least 100,000 years older than any funeral carried out by mankind……these ones are far more ancient….researchers also discovered estimated 241,000 to 335,000 year old engravings on the walls of the caverns…..early humans and neanderthal records were supposed to be utilized for communication of knowledge…..this implies, particularly with regard to mortality…..Homo Naledi had his own methods of interpreting symbols and giving objects significance…..these findings inform us that sophisticated behavioral and symbolic activities were not exclusive to contemporary people….. they might have also existed among our prehistoric forebears…..this begs issues regarding the beginning of these actions and whether our greater brain capacity is truly what drives our advanced state.
THE ANCIENT MAYA…..whose early settlements date back to about 2,000 B.C., lived in present-day southern Mexico and northern Central America…..as a civilization, they are recognized for their sophisticated calendar systems and hieroglyphic writing……as well as their achievements in areas such as agriculture and architecture……scholars have suggested a number of potential reasons for the downfall of Maya civilization in the southern lowlands…..including overpopulation, environmental degradation, warfare, shifting trade routes and extended drought….it’s likely that a complex combination of factors was behind the collapse…..what is certain is that the Mayans didn’t disappear in the aftermath of the collapse…..instead, cities in the northern lowlands region…..such as Chichen Itza and later Mayapan (both located in present-day Yucatan, Mexico), rose to prominence……the Spanish conquistadores arrived in the early 1500s and the last independent Mayan city…..Nojpeten (in present-day Guatemala)…..fell to Spanish troops in 1697…..the ancient cities were largely forgotten until the 19th century….when their ruins started to be uncovered by explorers and archeologists…..today, the Maya continue to reside in their ancestral homelands in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador.
THE OLDEST PLACE ON PLANET EARTH…..is in Venezuela and it is called Mount Roraima….. Mount Roraima, is one of the most beautiful and impressive natural wonders in the world…..for more than 500 years, scientists around the world have attempted to decipher the unique geological origin of Mount Roraima in southern Venezuela…..in addition to rising almost 3,000 meters above sea level…..the mountain has an unnatural morphology, which seems to have been cut with knives due to the precision of its million-year-old angles…..this rock formation is the largest of its kind in all of South America….and is part of the Paka Raima mountain range….. for more than 5 centuries, it has intrigued historians, geologists and other scientists…..because it is a mountain without a point…..the top of Mount Roraima is completely horizontal, and occupies an area of more than 30 square kilometers…..surrounded by waterfalls, cliffs and other rare geographical features in the world……seen this way, it could be considered an island….Mount Roraima is home to a great diversity of endemic plant and animal species…… geologists and biologists from around the world estimate that it hides some of the species that science has no record of…..since there are spaces in the mountain that still remain unexplored……it is thought that Mount Roraima was the product of a large earthquake in the past…..however, its origin is not certain, since geological features that were created in similar ways do not have that shape……this has led scientists to think that it may be the oldest rock formation on Earth.
RESEARCHERS…..have posted that they may have identified the fabled city of Atlantis……following the discovery of a substantial complex of ancient pyramids located off the coast of Mexico…these structures, observable via Google Earth…..are situated in proximity to historically significant Mayan and Aztec sites…..with dimensions ranging from approximately 3.5 to 11 miles in width…..this finding indicates the potential existence of an ancient civilization, or possibly phenomena of extraterrestrial origin…..such developments raise the question of whether this site could indeed represent the long-lost city of Atlantis.
NEW YORK CITY’S…..Washington Square Park…..used to be a graveyard…..there are over 20,000 people buried there
