Rock cut Panhalakaji Caves.

Rock cut Panhalakaji Caves. During 1970-71, a farmer named 'Keshavrao Pandurang Jadhav' of Panhale village, while plowing his field, found a stone box with metal letters stuck to the plow. The study revealed that the copper plates belong to the Shilahar period. In 1972, the Archaeological Survey of India excavated the site where the copper plates were found and uncovered a group of 28 caves completely hidden under the silt of the Kotjai River. Panhalakaji Caves are situated in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra state, about 160 km south of Mumbai, on the right bank of mountain stream Kotjai. This cave complex has 29 Buddhist caves. The Hinayana sect began carving caves in 3rd century AD, beginning with the stupa in the current Cave 5. The caves have inscriptions in Dhamma and Devanagari script. In the 10-11th century AD another Buddhist group, a Vajrayana sect, established cave 10 with their deities Akshobhya and Mahachandaroshana; and strengthened their practice in that reg...

lostinhistorypics Marilyn Monroe photographed by Bert Stern for Vogue, 1962. Diana Vreeland, the editor-in-chief of Vogue at that time, kept Marilyn's scar in the original picture. She used to say: "I think there's nothing duller than a smooth, perfect-skinned woman. A woman is beautiful by her Scars." hilalove The scar was from gall bladder surgery. Marilyn also had an appendectomy in which she famously taped a note to her belly begging the doctor not to take her ovaries… this seems strange until you factor in that she suffered from severe endometriosis and removing organs such as the appendix, gall bladder and ovaries is not uncommon during excision surgery (I just had my appendix out during mine.) Her endometriosis is often erased from her story even though it greatly impacted her life. There’s a great article about it in September’s issue of UK Cosmo if anyone is interested in learning more

A turtle found in the skull of an Elephant

Image
From time to time, paleontologists come across strange finds that can only be called a game of nature. They even came up with a special Latin term for this, lusus naturae. What should a scientist think when looking at a turtle fossil stuck in the jaw of a petrified elephant? .of course, that these very elephants ate these turtles. In fact, it was probably the other way around. It is known that turtles willingly gnaw bones, because they contain calcium, which is very necessary for the shell.  Most likely, this turtle also found an elephant's skull somewhere, started eating... but something went wrong. What, unfortunately, we don't know yet.

Do Scorpions Lay Eggs?

Image
Do Scorpions Lay Eggs? Scorpion Reproduction How do scorpions have babies? Scorpions do NOT lay eggs. They give live birth to a big litter of tiny creamy white baby scorpions called “scorplings.” "Scorpions are unusual amongst invertebrates because they give birth rather than laying eggs. Unlike mammals which have true births, scorpions are “ovoviviparous”. This means that  eggs hatch inside the mum and the babies are born separately . How many babies do scorpions have at once? Scorpions can give birth to litters ranging between 20 and 100 babies! A scorpion can have  as many as 100 babies in a single brood . They are born alive, not hatched from eggs like insects. When they are born, baby scorpions have a very soft outside shell, or exoskeleton. They crawl up onto their mother's back and ride there for 10 to 20 days until their exoskeleton gets stiff and hard.  baby scorpions stay with their mother? How long do baby scorpions stay with their mother? They c...

The Italian sculptor, Ferucci's Caesar carved 1512-1514 AD marble and stands 66cm.

Image
The Italian sculptor, Ferucci's Caesar carved 1512-1514 AD marble and stands 66cm.  It portrays a highly romanticised version of the seasoned warrior, characteristic Florentine artistic qualities heavily influenced this piece.  He wears the muscled cuirass and paludamentum of a Roman Legatus (cloak fastened at the left shoulder and worn by commanders, regular troops called it a pallium and had it fastened at both shoulders) but has no laurel wreath on his head. It would seem Ferucci was trying for an aesthetic of Caesar as a great general and leader, but wanted to avoid the dictator and deification issues that some criticise Caesar for. Either way, this is a masterpiece of Florentine marble sculpture.  This piece is in the Met, NY, USA.

Special information on How things get down...on Elephant

Image
How things get down... • During courtship, a male and a female elephant will rub their bodies on each other and even wrap trunks. The females tend to run away from the males and he will have to pursue her. This game of cat and mouse can continue for a long time before actual mating occurs. • Males go through periods of “musth,” where hormonal surges create behavior changes. The periods of musth are necessary for natural herd dynamics and successful breeding. • Male elephants fan their ears more when they are ready to mate than at other times. This allows them to get their scent out there at a wider distance to attract potential mates. • The females are ready to breed when they are about 14 years of age

At his 1981 murder trial, 19-year-old Arne Cheyenne Johnson claimed that he killed his landlord because the Devil made him do it — and that was just the beginning. Aided by paranormal investigators, Johnson alleged that his real-life horror story began when his fiancée's 11-year-old brother became possessed by demons.  The boy would often wake up crying hysterically, describing a "man with big black eyes, a thin face with animal features and jagged teeth, pointed ears, horns, and hoofs."  Before long, Catholic priests allegedly came over to the home to perform multiple exorcisms, during which the boy "levitated, cursed, and even stopped breathing."  But it wasn't until Johnson challenged the child's demons to "take me on" that they supposedly latched onto him instead. Then the demons commanded Johnson to commit murder.
