#1 Roman mosaic discovered in Turkey – This is one of the largest complete Roman mosaics found (1050 m²), with craftsmanship so high that the mosaic survived an earthquake, preserving the wave patterns it created.
#2 This photo will help you understand the size difference between a Siberian husky and a wolf.
#3 This is what hieroglyphs looked like in Egyptian temples before their color faded.
#4 No hurricane has ever crossed the equator because hurricanes rotate in opposite directions on each side of the equator, and as they get closer, they lose power.
#5 What you see here is the carcass of a northern pike – a predatory fish capable of leaping almost a meter high. This fish got stuck on a branch, and birds turned it into a nest. An interesting fact – this fish is kosher.
#6 Nyakim Gatwech – a model from South Sudan who earned the nickname "Queen of Darkness" due to her deep dark skin, which results from high levels of melanin.
#7 A 3-year-old tadpole that never turned into a frog and simply grew as a tadpole, shown next to a banana for scale. Another comparison – tadpoles normally transform into frogs in about 14 weeks.
#8 A whole garlic that isn't divided into cloves. This is a type of garlic relatively common in Japan, known as "single-clove garlic." Less peeling, with a milder flavor.
#9 Door to the dining hall at Alcobaça Monastery in Portugal. It's narrow so monks who were too large to enter would start fasting. Maybe an idea to apply at home.
#10 A beekeeper saw bears stealing honey on his night cameras, so he turned them into quality testers by placing several bowls with different types of honey. The label probably says "tested on animals."
#11 This is a cafeteria meal at a university in Tunisia. The price? $0.06.
#12 Family of Mexican hairless dogs – one of the oldest dog breeds in the world.
#13 In 2016, an Egyptian terrorist tried to hijack a plane. A British man asked to take a photo with him, and this is what happened, but that's not the whole story. Ben Innes, the guy in the photo, said he tried to get close to him to check if the bomb was real or not. Turns out it wasn’t.
#14 Same place, same time, 28 days – the moon in all its phases and its path across the sky.
#15 The clearest photo taken so far of the planet Venus, which has the closest orbit to Earth (though Mercury is closer most of the time). Here are 3 reasons why we’ll never live there – the pressure would crush us, the temperature would burn us, and the air would poison us.
