Faraó homem com atributos femininos, a lei doce de Horus nesta mesma terra, será que tinha bigode?

The Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaton’s voluptuous body shape and elongated head and neck, recorded in ancient depictions of the male ruler, have long perplexed historians. But now Irwin Braverman, a professor of dermatology and an expert on visual diagnosis at the Yale University School of Medicine, is offering a theory on the characteristics, which are not found in representations of other pharaohs: Akhenaton may have suffered from two genetic disorders that affect body shape.

Stonehenge trance music

Arena sensorial da tribo bretã, sem fins lucrativos e para o beneficio mutuo, bons tempos…

Stonehenge was built as a dance arena for prehistoric raves, a university professor believes.

Dr. Rupert Till, who is also a part-time DJ, carried out experiments that he says showed the 5,000-year-old stone circle is ideal for listening to “trance” music.

O Arqueiro, de uma flecha só, tiro incansável que une a vida à sorte.

Each year, archers in feudal shooting gear climb on their decorated mounts for a lively competition on the beach of Zushi, a town just south of Tokyo, galloping in the sand as thousands of onlookers cheer and shout. The first competition was held here in 1199.
