Good morning Everyone, Mixed strange hair, Crazy Strange News episode sixty one news Byite heading over to Spain. Crow has been having breakfast in the same bar for twenty six years. In the popular bar of the Solomar Hotel in Spain, something amazing happens every morning. A raven named Paco has been a regular and loyal customer of this establishment for twenty six years. After the bird fell from its nest and was rescued by the bar's owners, it became an integral part of the place. Every time the bar opens, Paco flies in for breakfast, never missing a day. The owners of the establishment welcome him with open arms and serve him a special dish with his name on it to give him enough energy to get through the day. And evidently he can speak Spanish better than I. The waiters call Paco a member of the family and say that he is one of the most demanding customers, always choosing what he likes. Paco's story became a social media phenomenon after hotel owners posted a video of the bird politely greeting everyone who entered the bar by saying hello. The animal has an amazing ability to talk and amazes with its politeness, Paco has become a real star, attracting the attention of both regular customers and new visitors. Story touches and inspires, making this bar a special and unique place where every day begins with a meeting with a fateful feathered friend. Crows live half of the lifespans of humans. The lifespan of crows in the wild is up to fifteen to twenty years. Crows under very special care are known to live up to thirty years. Under the records, the longest known lifespan is forty Paco's the Dude world's oldest shipwreck has been discovered at the bottom of the Black Sea, a twenty four hundred year old Odysseus ship. Researchers found the oldest intact shipwreck on the seabed of the Black Sea. The antique vessel was discovered in a section of the Eastern European Sea that has already disclosed over sixty additional shipwrecks after the most technologically advanced search ever. Carbon dating indicates that this is the oldest ship ever unearthed, and it is thought to be a twenty five hundred year old Greek trading vessel. As part of the Black Sea Maritime Archaeological Project. It was found in late twenty seventeen. It seems to have a similar design with the ship displayed on the Siren vase, a piece of ancient Greek pottery on display at the British Museum right now. And that's a pretty sweet looking vase. I mean it's you guys should check that out. As always, I'll have links to these stories, so feel free. We have a complete ship with the masts still standing, with the quarter rudders in place, said doctor Botscheverov. It's a fantastic discovery. It's the first of its sort in history. It was discovered one point three miles beneath the surface of the Black Sea and conditions that are classified as an oxic due to the lack of oxygen. The lack of oxygen contributed to the excellent preservation of the boat. Monkfish bones were discovered on the deck, indicating what the sailors were consuming at the time. Now Batchvarov added, we even have the coils of line and ropes still in the stern, as the boatswain left them when the ship went down. He says this is unique. According to John Adams, a different John Adams the project's chief scientist. The ship sank in a storm and the crew could not drain out the water in time. I can't believe there is a vessel from the classical world surviving intact in over two kilometers of water. He says, our knowledge about shipbuilding and navigation in the ancient world will change thanks to this discovery. The Black Sea Maritime Archaeological Project team is unable to salvage the ship because of the high cost of doing so and the time and effort required to disassemble and reassemble it without damage. The find is one of sixty seven shipwrecks discovered in the area. Galleys from the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires have been uncovered in the past, dating back over two thy five hundred years. Scientists discovered the graveyard while surveying the consequences of climate change along the Bulgarian coast with underwater robots. An international team led by University of Southampton Center for Maritime Archaeology has been working on the Black Sea Maritime Archaeological Project for several years. It has cost roughly fifteen million euros so far. Some of the ships we've unearthed had only been seen on murals and mosaics until this point, said Ed Parker, CEO of Black Samap on one medieval commerce vehicle, the towers on the bow and stern are still so largely intact. It's like you were watching a vessel on a movie with ropes on the deck and carvings in the wood. When seeing the ship, I was extremely excited. Nothing compares to what we've discovered. The team keeps secret several of the other REX details and locations to ensure that they remain undisturbed. All right. Up next, researchers finally uncover what wiped out the Mayan civilization. The studies analysis revealed that a huge decrease in annual rainfall in a drop in humidity contributed to the drought that ended the Maya civilization. Many theories have been explored to try and explain the collapse of the Maya civilization. For years, evidence trying to prove these theories had been inconclusive. Until now they think sometimes I just think they don't been on no squad, I don't know. The Maaya Empire, located in what is now Guatemala, was a cultural epicenter that excelled at agriculture, pottery, writing, and mathematics. They reached the peak of their power in the sixth century. However, by nine hundred CE, most of their great cities were abandoned. For centuries, researchers have tried to discover exactly how this great civilization could have fallen apart so quickly. A report in Science has finally given quantifiable evidence confirming the most widely believed theory to explain how the Maya civilization at its end drought. That's how the key to unlocking the mystery ended up being located in Lake Chickenab River on the Yucatan Peninsula. For the report, researchers examined oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in the sediment from the lake, which was close enough to the heart of Maya civilization to provide an accurate sample of the climate. For the report, Nicholas Evans, a Cambridge University research student and co author of the paper, measured the isotopic composition of water found in the lake sediment to quantify exactly how much precipitation rates fell during the end of the Maya civilization. According to The Washington Post, analyzing sediment cores is a common practice for discovering information about the past. Scientists are able to inspect the dessert the dessert the dirt layer by layer, and record the information found in the soil to construct an accurate timeline of the past conditions. After examining the sediment samples, Evans and his team of researchers concluded that annual rainfall levels declined forty one to fifty four percent in the area surrounding the lake for several long periods over roughly four hundred years. That's a chunk of time. The report also revealed that humidity in the area dropped by two to seven perc sent. These two factors combined to have a devastating effect on the civilization's agricultural production. Because these drought conditions occurred frequently over hundreds of years, the civilization must not have been able to build up food reserves enough to make up for the drop in agricultural production, eventually leading to their demise. Interesting thought. I don't know. I don't know. Even though this paper ties up some loose ends surrounding the Maya people, some big unanswered questions still remain, like what precisely brought on this massive and sustained drought? I don't know, man, Sometimes things are just cyclical, right, I mean, these aren't unheard of events. I think it's a stretch to connect this to global warming or something. I don't know. I don't know, that could be wrong. A previous study showed that Maya's deforestation could have contributed to dry conditions, decreasing the moisture of the area and destabilizing the soil. Evan said that the drought could have been caused by changes to the atmospheric circulation any decline in tropical cyclone frequency. Matthew Lynchett, a professor in geosciences at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, who was not involved in the study, told The Washington Post that this study is impactful because it offers insights into how humans can change the climate around them. Humans are affecting in climate. We were making it warmer, and it's projected to become drier in Central America. He continues, what we could end up with is a double whammy of drought. If you coincide dying excuse me, drying from natural causes with drying from human causes, then it amplified the strength of that drought. Despite these new findings. There is still much to learn about the collapse of the Maya civilization, no kidding, because I think, I mean, you get you have to give them some credit. They can adapt, they can adjust, you know. I mean, it was an incredible civilization. And to say that, I mean it would if they're saying that it literally took hundreds of year. So how did they just vanish at one point because of drought? I mean, I guess maybe, but I think, don't you think there would be more? We didn't have to be a serious drought. I think it would be an a strata, right, I mean we look with the things he accomplished as a civilization, the architecture, you know, following the heavenly bodies, you know, precisely. So I don't know. I think some other things, I mean, this could probably have something to do with it, right, But you know, people are pretty versatile. We're survivors. That's how we've gotten this far. So I think there'd be some sort of indications of migration or what have you. That's just my take. It's an unaged, educated one obviously, but I mean that's a long time period for it wasn't like a slow demise and we know they were like here and gone, right, I don't know, that's my take. I'm mixed, strange, and I am not even through my first cup of coffee, so apologies if I'm not as sharp as maybe I usually am. But I don't know about that either.
