The procedure they went through to uncover the warriors was once the farmers discovered the head of a warrior they then called Yuan Zhongyi an archaeologist who first arrived in 1974, with his college Zhao Kangmin who originally collected all the broken pieces of the warrior and then reconstructed the first terra-cotta warrior. Mr Yuan Zhongyi then exposed, processed and recorded the evidence found, this then was the method that the archaeologist were using to uncover more of the tombs. The tomb was excavated by hand, because any use of machinery would/could have disrupted the evidence and could have destroyed the entire army of warriors. Some of the handheld instruments they used were, Marshalltown trowel- used for digging and unearthing artefacts and features, paintbrushes- used for delicate work around artefact and features, Sunnico Pointing Trowel- another tool to use for digging, and several others. Pit 1 is the largest of the three pits.
In Humbolt County, California in 1958, a large footprint was found at a construction site by Jerry Crew, a bulldozer operator. In the first story about the incident, "the tracks of old Big Foot" were mentioned in the first sentence. This is the first example of the term Bigfoot used in print. The early writers of the Bigfoot were unaware of the stories of the Sasquatch which had been popular in Canada since the 1920's. However, as more research was done the stories of the Sasquatch were found, and it was determined that the Sasquatch and Bigfoot were in fact the same creature.
King Tut was king of Egypt for approximately four years so why do people consider him so important? Well it has always been scientist's interest in why this king died so young until 1922 when Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon were exploring the ancient tombs of Egypt they discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen (Tut). They discovered a funerary temple thought to be built by Tutankhamen; he died before he finished building it so his sons finished it. His tomb is buried a mile away from the funerary temple. The Valley of Kings is believed to be where many of King Tut's family was buried.
One of the biggest reasons to not use Yucca Mountain is because Nevada does not have one nuclear power plant. “A two-thirds majority of Nevadans feel it is unfair for their state to have to store nuclear waste when there are no nuclear power plants in Nevada”. So why would we make them take waste from states such as New York or New Jersey. Another reason that we should not use Yucca Mountain is because it is only 100 miles away from Las Vegas which has hundreds of thousands of tourist a year which if a leak occurs then they would be exposed to nuclear waste. This would not be good.
Beyond the Body Farm is a novel comprised of multiple short stories about some of Dr. Bill Bass’ countless experiences over decades as what some call a “bone detective”. Dr. Bass’ detailed accounts of multiple of his favorite and most challenging cases all show the diversity of methods used and the dedication required to be successful in the field of forensic anthropology. More importantly though, these retellings are meant to educate readers on forensic anthropology beyond the boundaries of CSI type television shows, and illustrate the stark contrast between TV and reality. “Shedding Light on a Victim's Bones” was a case which used UV light extensively to determine the identity of the bones. The initial use of the UV light was to conclude
The Hot Zone tells a dramatic, chilling and realistic story of an Ebola virus outbreak! It occurs in a monkey storage warehouse in a suburban Washington D. C. laboratory in 1989. Monkeys were being used in scientific experiments because they were most similar to humans and the virus couldn’t tell the difference. This then, allows the lab to become a ‘hot zone’. He becomes very interested in how the viruses work and their symptoms that appear in human beings.
Claire Minton Clare Echterling English 102 August 30, 12 QCQ: Hitt, “Dinosaur Dreams: Reading the Bones of America’s Psychic Mascot” “Controversial scholarship has turned up a new interpretation of how the great-meat-eater lived, and it is so at odds with T. rex’s public persona that even scholars hate to talk about him anymore. In a sense, the scientific reality of the King of the Tyrant Lizards has laid bare our symbolic uses of him. So T. is hiding.” (Hitt, 109). The essay describes the typical American view of the T. rex as the “great-meat-eater” and “King of the Tyrant Lizards;” powerful, scary, a predator. But the theory about the true nature of the T. rex, developed by the “self credentialed iconoclast” Jack Horner, is quite at
It gave me a picture to put with everything I have learned in class about Egypt. Since we did not spend much time on Tutankhamun in class, I learned many new things about his tomb. I did not know that the Egyptians took out the internal organs to preserve them separately from the core of the body. I also did not know they took out the heart, dried it, coated it, and put it back in the core for mummification. I did not like how there was no real climatic showcase.
Could you imagine a world without humans, mechanical structures, or any other kind of life? According to some scientists and theologists, there will not be a year of 2013, 2014, 2015 and so on. . .or will there? Many scientists are predicting a global apocalypse for the date of December 21, 2012.
In 2007, state lawmakers rejected a multi-state lottery bill, because of fears that the lottery would lose money in such a low populated state. Eric Spector, president and CEO of Wyoming Downs, said “the machines would have generated about $12 million a year for the Hathaway program and around $2 million to help pay for the statewide lottery”. This bill was also expected to gain about eleven million dollars each year from the just the lottery. Wallis stated that “I really thought this was a win-win situation for everyone.” The money was even going to a good cause, the expected eleven million dollars per year was going to help fund the Hathaway scholarship. The scholarship, intended to give money to all qualifiers to attend a Wyoming school, is slowly losing money.
