Losing a child or loved one is an anguish that only those who have experienced it can fully understand. Some dedicate their lives to finding that person. Unfortunately, many never do. Approximately 170,000 people are reported missing every year in the United Kingdom. While most are quickly solved, many missing people vanish, never to be […] The post Top 10 Lesser-Known Unsolved Disappearances in England appeared first on Listverse.

Humans have pattern-finding brains. If we look at chaos, our brains will try to impose order on what we are seeing and pick out things that we might recognize. As far as we know, people have always liked to look at the stars, so it is understandable that people have always liked to tell stories […] The post 10 Ancient Origin Stories of the Constellations appeared first on Listverse.

China’s production of batteries for electric vehicles is “definitely not clean,” says energy expert Diana Furchtgott-Roth.  Without its own vast natural energy resources, China is the world’s largest energy importer, but has seized on the economic opportunities of the “green energy” movement. Yet the production of products such as EVs is causing harm to the environment, says Furchtgott-Roth, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment.  China produces about 80% of the world’s EV batteries and “mining for the critical minerals in the batteries … causes vast amounts of environmental damage,” she explains.  Production involves moving “hundreds of thousands of pounds of earth to get the critical minerals for one battery,” Furchtgott-Roth notes, adding that “China is buying mines in Africa so that it can get the critical minerals, [as well as] mines in Latin America.” Furchtgott-Roth is the co-author of “How the Forced Energy Transition and Reliance on China Will Harm America,” a new Heritage Foundation report exposing the ways in which the “green energy” movement is harming America while benefiting China. She joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain it all.  Listen to the podcast below: The post The Not-So-Secret Dirty Facts About China’s ‘Clean Energy’ Production appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The remains of a previously unknown Roman military camp have been discovered at Colm la Runga in Switzerland’s Oberhalbstein Alps at an altitude of 7,218 feet above sea level. It dates to the last two decades of the 1st century B.C. When the camp was built, Roman legions were fighting to conquer the Swiss Alps, the last remaining region of modern-day Switzerland that was not yet under Roman control. Augustus saw control of the Alps as essential to the security of northern Italy, and Tiberius finished the job. A battle between Rome and the local Suanetes tribe was known to have been fought 3,000 feet below the Colm la Runga site near the Crap Ses Gorge in 15 B.C.. Lead sling bullets stamped with the marks of the 3rd, 10th and 12th Legions have been found there, as have spearheads, brooches, caligae hobnails and an exceptional silver and brass dagger. Archaeologists have been excavating the battlefield since 2021, supported by volunteer metal detectorists. Cutting edge LiDAR laser scans revealed differences in height in the topography of the Colm la Runga terrain that indicated there were man-made ditches and ramparts up there. Initial test pits dug confirmed the data. Following geophysical surveys and non-destructive documentation in July 2024, students from the University of Basel and volunteer prospectors will be researching the wall-ditch system and the structures inside the camp from August 11 to 31, 2024. The finds so far include weapons and equipment belonging to Roman soldiers, including slingshots and shoe nails. The slingshots found bear the stamp of the 3rd Legion, which was also involved in the battle at Crap Ses. It can therefore be assumed that there is a close connection between the ancient battlefield and the newly discovered military camp. The location of the camp on the Colm la Runga was certainly chosen for strategic reasons. From here there is a wide panorama of the most important surrounding valleys: the Landwassertal, the Albulatal, the Domleschg and the Surses. In addition, Lenzerheide, which was an important passage at the time, can be ideally viewed. The sensational discovery of a Roman military camp in Graubünden once again shows that archaeological research into “Roman Switzerland” continues to hold great surprises. The discovery on the Colm la Runga is also internationally outstanding because the advance of the Roman forces 2000 years ago can now be precisely traced over several dozen kilometers: from Bergell over the Septimer Pass to the Tiefencastel area – and from there on towards Chur and the Alpine Rhine Valley.

Horses from Scandinavia were used in Baltic sacrifices during the Late Viking Age, challenging earlier views about local sourcing and stallion preference in these rituals. New research from Cardiff University reveals that during the Late Viking Age, horses were transported across the Baltic Sea and sacrificed in funeral rituals. In the study, recently published in [...]
