That’s why the recently published photo by NASA made netizens boil. It was an iceberg in the Antarctic Sea, and in the midst of a drifting iceberg, it was rectangular in a perfectly perfect way, as if it had been carved by a man. The ice is square…

The ancient Egyptian pyramids were built with such precision that our modern technology can’t replicate them. The Great Pyramid has an estimated 2,300,000 stone blocks that each weigh up to 50 tons. Why such phenomenal precision? Why such incredible accuracy? Why such a unique building? For the royal designers of the Pyramid, such mind-boggling precision and accuracy might have been imbued with symbolic and cultic significance that now eludes us. Several thousands of years ago, countless pyramids were built around the globe. Although we are all familiar with one pyramid, particularly the Great Pyramid of Giza, the truth is that…

Apparently, the sweet dog looked at the Christmas nativity scene as a safe space and, therefore, ended up using it as a refuge. She might take a break from…
