The Underwater 8th Continent of our Planet #Zealandia | MS019 | MEENAMMA Speaks Today let's explore the mysteries surrounding Zealandia, the submerged eighth continent beneath the Pacific Ocean. This colossal landmass, greater in size than India, separated from Australia around 60-85 million years ago. Today, over 90% of it lies hidden underwater, challenging traditional concepts in geography and geology. Zealandia isn't just a submerged landmass; it's a treasure trove of scientific wonders. It hosts unique ecosystems, ancient fossils, and rare species, providing invaluable insights into the Earth's history and the process of continental drift. This hidden continent unveils the dynamic nature of our planet, offering a unique perspective on the world's geographical evolution. #Zealandia #UnderwaterContinent #GeologicalMystery #EarthHistory #ContinentalDrift #HiddenEcosystems #ScientificExploration #NatureSecrets #SubmergedLandmass #GeographyWonders https://lnkd.in/gNG759Xx

Uncovering the Astonishing Marvel of Derinkuyu: A Testament to Ancient Ingenuity Discovering Derinkuyu, an underground city teeming with ancient marvels, is a hidden jewel of human history that may be found beneath the stunning views of Cappadocia, Turkey. This amazing location, which is said to be over 2000 years old, is a monument to the creativity and resourcefulness of its builders and captivates tourists and historians alike. Discover a maze-like system of passageways, rooms, and wells painstakingly chiseled out of pliable volcanic rock at Derinkuyu. This eight-story underground city, which can hold 20,000 people and their animals, is a testament to the highly developed architectural abilities of its prehistoric creators. Derinkuyu's advanced ventilation system, which is intended to provide a constant flow of fresh air even in the furthest corners of the city, is what really makes it stand out. Ingenious air vents were provided via vertical shafts, some of which reached astonishing depths of almost 55 meters. For further protection, stone doors could be smoothly slid into position. According to historical accounts, Derinkuyu was first built by the Phrygians in the eighth or seventh century BCE. Later civilizations, including the Byzantines and the early Christians, added to and improved its infrastructure. The city provided a multifarious haven for its residents, serving as both a religious and social hub, with spaces ranging from kitchens and chapels to stables and wineries. Derinkuyu has persisted over the ages as evidence of the inventiveness and resiliency of people. It is still a popular destination for tourists from all over the world, drawn by its UNESCO World Heritage status, where they can explore its underground wonders and contemplate the mysteries of the past. We learn important lessons about the extraordinary accomplishments of our ancestors and the lasting impact of their inventiveness as we uncover and investigate locations like Derinkuyu. Every discovery serves as a reminder of the depths of human inventiveness and the uncharted territory of history. Come celebrate with me the amazing wonders of our world and the stories they still have to tell.  #History #AncientCivilizations #Archaeology #Innovation #CulturalHeritage

Today, 20-Mar is the vernal equinox of 2024 - Its the day when the sun is directly over the equator, therefore both hemispheres get equal amount of sunlight. This day also marks the commencement of spring in the Northern hemisphere. As seen from earth, the sun starts moving northwards (because of earth's tilt & its movement around the sun) till Jun 20th, after which it starts it southward journey till Sep 20th. In ancient times, equinoxes were closely related to seasons, harvest and cultivation. Even with limited resources at that time, our ancestors were much more knowledgeable of the Universe and its magnificence. In fact, there are many archeological sites across the world that were built in perfect precision with these celestial events. Stone henge in England, The great pyramids of Giza in Egypt, Chechen Itza in Mexico are some great monuments that align with equinoxes & solstices. #astronomy #equinox #passionwithpurpose

Unveiling the Legacy of the Maya Civilization The Maya civilization, one of the most advanced ancient cultures, left an indelible mark on history with its remarkable achievements in science, art, and architecture. Flourishing between 2000 BCE and 1500 CE, the Maya developed an intricate writing system, sophisticated mathematical and astronomical knowledge, and awe-inspiring structures like pyramids, temples, and observatories. Their unique calendar system, a true marvel of precision, reflected their deep understanding of celestial movements. The Maya's expertise in agriculture, sustainable farming, and urban planning also demonstrated their ability to thrive in a diverse and challenging environment. The ruins of cities such as Tikal, Palenque, and Chichen Itza stand as testaments to their engineering brilliance and cultural richness. Yet, despite their incredible accomplishments, much of their history remains shrouded in mystery, with scholars still uncovering insights into their rise and fall. The Maya civilization reminds us of the importance of innovation, knowledge, and the quest for understanding our world—lessons that continue to inspire us today. #MayaCivilization #AncientHistory #Innovation #Astronomy #CulturalHeritage #MayaLegacy

I am very happy to hear that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee has announced the addition of 24 new sites to its list 🏛️ 📜. Among these are two remarkable #geodiversity treasures 🌍, recognized for being outstanding examples representing major stages of Earth's history (under Criterion viii): ➡️ Lençóis Maranhenses (Brazil) - white dunes and colorful lagoons that not only create a stunning landscape but also feature the largest stable and shifting dune area in South America, reflecting the evolution of coastal dunes over time. ➡️ Badain Jaran Desert - Towers of Sand and Lakes (China) - a site known for its unique desert features, including the world's tallest stabilized sand dune, numerous lakes between dunes, and "singing sands" (that make sounds when the wind moves them), along with distinctive wind-shaped landforms. Additionally, other sites, influenced by geodiversity, have been inscribed under various criteria: 🔹Vjetrenica Cave (Ravno, Bosnia and Herzegovina) – a well-conserved example of karst topography (with high level of cave biodiversity and endemism) 🔹Melka Kunture and Balchit: Archaeological and Palaeontological Sites in the Highland Area of Ethiopia (Ethiopia) – a site that includes fossilized footprints, providing evidence of hominin occupation dating back two million years. 🔹Sado Island Gold Mines (Japan) - historic gold and silver mines that reflect not only the mining operations but also the social and labor organization of the time These are great news! And the new inscriptions underline our collective responsibility to protect these treasures so future generations can continue to improve the understanding of Earth’s history and its diverse processes, and be inspired by our planet’s #naturalheritage. Sadly, the List of World Heritage in Danger has also grown.. 📷 © Badain Jaran Nature Reserve #unescoworldheritage #worldheritage #whs #unesco #geoheritage #geoconservation
