Lightening - Creates Unique 'Fossilized Lightening Rock' (+ cannot be replicated in a laboratory )


After lightning struck a tree in New Port Richey, Florida, a team of scientists from the University of South Florida (USF) discovered that this strike led to the formation of a new phosphorous material in a rock.

This is the first time such a material has been found in solid form on Earth and could represent a member of a new mineral group.

"We have never seen this material occur naturally on Earth – minerals similar to it can be found in meteorites and space — but we've never seen this exact material anywhere,"

According to the researchers,
high-energy events such as lightning can sometimes cause unique chemical reactions which, — in this particular case, — have led to the formation of a new material that seems to be transitional between space minerals and minerals found on Earth.

"When lightning strikes a tree, the ground typically explodes out and the surrounding grass dies, forming a scar and sending electric discharge through nearby rock, soil and sand, forming fulgurites, — also known as 'fossilized lightning,'"

Quiver - Ancient Gold-plated Female Archer Weaponry


Golden-plated 'gorytos' (QUIVER) — the hip-slung bow-and-arrow quivers of the formidable Scythian Female Archers

~ Found in the Macedonian tomb of Philip II — Father of Alexander the Great

~ Quiver is thought to belong to Queen Meda of Odessos — Philip II's sixth wife — a Thracian princess who hurled herself onto Philip's funeral pyre

~ Materials on the remains, melted gold on bones — and a crippling leg wound reveals a limping 'Warrior Woman' revered as an 'Amazon' at death — and a King adorned with a gold wreath and ceremonial shield as the flames climbed the pyre in emulation of a Homeric hero

~ The tomb is dated 4th-3rd century BCE.
