Ancient Australian rocks suggest Earth’s continents formed later than expected and share a common origin with the Moon. A study of feldspar crystals preserved in Australia’s oldest magmatic rocks is shedding new light on the early evolution of Earth’s mantle مزید پڑھیں
Halafian pottery shows that early agricultural societies practiced advanced mathematical thinking through plant-based art long before writing. Researchers report that the Halafian culture of northern Mesopotamia (c. 6200–5500 BCE) created the earliest known systematic plant imagery in prehistoric art. Fine مزید پڑھیں
