Vanished Persian army said found in desert

The remains of a mighty Persian army said to have drowned in the sands of the western Egyptian desert 2,500 years ago might have been finally located, solving one of archaeology's biggest outstanding mysteries, according to Italian researchers.

Bronze weapons, a silver bracelet, an earring and hundreds of human bones found in the vast desolate wilderness of the Sahara desert have raised hopes of finally finding the lost army of Persian King Cambyses II. The 50,000 warriors were said to be buried by a cataclysmic sandstorm in 525 B.C.

Otzi the Iceman

Three basic conditions can lead to natural mummification: extreme dryness or aridity (as in deserts), and extreme acidity (as in bogs) and extreme cold (as on mountains) which essentially freeze dries the body. In all cases, it is the harsh conditions that halt bacterial destruction of the corpse and lead to natural mummification. Perhaps the most famous of these “freeze dried” mummies is Ötzi the Iceman.

"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming"

Off the coast of a remote Micronesian island lay the ruins of a once-great city of man-made stone islands that inspired the city of R'lyeh in H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.

The American Cornhole Organization

American Cornhole can be played as doubles or singles. In doubles play, two players are partners against another team of two (one member of each team pitches from one board and the other member pitches from the other board). In singles play, a player competes against another player (both pitch from the same board). All other rules are the same for doubles or singles play.

Chislehurst Caves

Despite being called caves, these 22 miles (35 km) of tunnels are something much stranger then that, a series of entirely man-made tunnels, rooms and caverns under the south eastern suburbs of Greater London, UK. Though, there is debate over how old the caverns are, it is believed by some that they go back to the time of the Saxons -- the 400s and 500s A.D. -- some suggest they may go back 8000 years, to 6000 B.C. just after the time when the landmass of Britain was separated from the rest of Europe in 6500 B.C.
