In a pharaoh tomb, archaeologist examines the inscriptions ... of ancient tourists

The tomb of Ramesses VI in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings already in ancient times was visited by tourists, who signed their names and exchanged remarks reminiscent of discussions on Facebook and tourist forums. Walls of the tomb “spoke” thanks to the research of Prof. Adam Łukaszewicz from the University of Warsaw.

“I visited and I did not like anything except the sarcophagus!”; “I admired!” “I can not read the hieroglyphs!” - these are some of the inscriptions read by the Polish scientists working inside Egypt’s pharaoh Ramesses VI in the Valley of the Kings.

All inscriptions were left by tourists who visited this place about two thousand years ago! Read more.

STROMATOLITES

Fossils are amazing. Some children dream that if they dig deep enough in their backyards, they will find fossils from dinosaurs, ferns, sea shells or any other imaginable ancient living thing. Many people don’t know, however, that some of our oldest records of life on earth have modern relatives that are living and growing today. Stromatolites are essentially layers of microorganisms which have trapped and cemented sediments, and even though some stromatolites are found alive and growing today, the oldest stromatolite fossil samples are estimated to be close to 3.5 billion years old!

A man just wants to read his son a bed time story in peace for goodness sake

Describing Terry Pratchett’s books is difficult. Someone asked me what the book I was reading was about, and I had to tell them it was about banking and the gold standard, but like in a cool way with golems and action. 

 I don’t think they believed me.

Peter: Can anyone, PLEASE, explain why we’re having a campfire in the middle of the Forbidden Forest?! There isn’t even Full Moon!

Sirius: And where do you suppose a campfire should be done? in the common room? in the bathroom? in the Headmaster’s office? IN THE GREAT HALL, PETE?

Remus: Filch would have a heart attack.

James: And McGonagall will have us in detention for eternity. AGAIN.

Peter: ok, ok ok ok….. Buuuuuut why we don’t sleep in our beds like everyone else?

James: Because sleeping in the dormitory is extremely boring, Pete.

Sirius: Aaaand… especially because we love seeing your terrified face, Wormtail.
