SCIENTISTS DETECT "ANOMALY" UNDERGROUND NEAR GREAT PYRAMID
Hey everyone, welcome back. This is Mixed Strange, Your dude, your host, your buddy, and this is CSN episode sixty news bite. I'm going to head over to futurism dot com. This is scientist's alarmed by enormous dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. Fisher suffocating not at all cool So A dead zone at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico continues to kill off or drive out aquatic life, and this year it's grown even bigger. Scientists working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have found lying off the coast of Louisiana, the oxygen depleted or hypo hypoxic excuse ME region is larger than average this year and is being driven by nutrient rich discharge from the Mississippi River. It now covers about six seven hundred and five square miles, which is almost the size of New Jersey. Now, this is the twelfth largest the dead zone has ever been in nearly four decades of record keeping, with the largest ever being observed in two thousand and seventeen at over eight thousand, seven hundred square miles. While it may not be historic, this latest measurement is still greater than what scientists forecasted earlier this summer, and keeps the dead zone's five year average size of roughly forty three hundred square miles to miles two times above a twenty thirty five reduction target. The area of bottom water hypoxia was larger than predicted by the Mississippi River discharge and nitrogen load for twenty twenty four, but within the range experienced over the nearly four decades that this research cruise has been conducted. I'm a professor at Louisiana State University and coast chief scientist of the Dead Zone Survey set in an announcement on Thursday, we continued to be surprised each summer at the variability in size and distribution. Dead zones are caused by nutrient pollution, which spurs and overgrowth of algae far beyond sustainable levels. They're huge numbers, crowd out sunlight from reaching underwater plants and plankton, and eventually the algae die off in mass. When the dead algae float to the bottom, they also take oxygen with them to the grave. This leaves less of the stuff for the fish and other aquatic life, driving them out of the area in search of more oxygen rich climbs for what little marine life that remains. Scientists have found that the hypoxia causes changes in fish diets, growth rates, reproduction, and habitat use, so says Noah. In turn, this leaves fewer critters like shrimp available for humans to catch. Humans are largely to blame for this. In the Gulf, though dead zones can sometimes occur naturally. The nutrients from they come from cities and farms which seep into nearby water sources like the Mississippi, eventually depositing into the Gulf of Mexico. So essentially it's I gather it's probably from fertilizing, you know, the crops, and you're talking the Mississippi River, so everything that runs into the Ohio, the Ohio into the Mississippi. I mean that's the second largest tributary. And then the Missouri River, which is a large river just north I think it's north of Saint Louis where it converges into the Mississippi. So it's a it's I think it's a lot of that sediment that these unsustainable farming practices that are really propped up by the government. You know, you have to fertilize, you have to lime, you have to do every year, pesticides. It's just unsustainable. The farmland's not what it once was. It needs repaired. And I think if we really took cover crops, there's a number of ways to repair the soil and not necessarily have to use so much fertilization. I mean, it's almost like cover crop farming is almost I mean, you use smaller machinery, you don't have to use these giant machines. It's not as evasive, like there's so much the good soil runs into the ditches. The ditches run into the streams and so on to the rivers and out to the Gulf of Mexico. So and with that all the pesticides and the just all that crap, the fertilization, fertilizer. So I think that's largely the culprit. We could repair the the earth with cover crop or other sustainable farming practices, and it's just the government doesn't support that with subsistence, you know, subsidies and insurances against crop failure and all these things. It's kind of like a vicious circle. So whenever the government gets involved, things go south. It just gets bad, it seems. But so that I thought, I thought that was pretty interesting. And I know we get that maybe in some of the Great Lakes as well. Erie gets these unnatural algae blooms and you can see it from satellite. It's it's kind of weird. So and all those tributaries from farm lands and that kind of goes into that lake up north. So as far as I understand, let's move along. This is also from over at our friends at futurism dot com, and we're gonna shoot over to Egypt. If you dig the pyramids, there's some some other mysteries that we discover about them. Yearly. Monthly, scientists detect anomaly underground near Great Pyramid. The Pyramids at Giza continue to yield ancient secrets, but this time they come not from those towering wonders up above, but what's being described as an anomaly interred in the desert sands below. Using ground penetrating radar in combination with a technique known as electrical recissivity resistivity tomography e RT, a team of researchers from Egypt and Japan has discovered two underground structures located below East Cemetery on the west side of the Great Pyramid something, and it's not quite clear what is buried even below those forbidden pyramidal tombs. As detailed in a new study published in the journal Archaeological Prospection, the structures appear to be stacked atop one another. The shallowest is l shaped and only around six feet underground. It measures thirty three feet by forty nine feet. The lower structure is a tad smaller, with an area of thirty three feet by thirty three feet. It's pretty squared off, but it is considerably deeper reaching up too. And there's that number again, thirty three feet below the surface. People are going to make a lot of assumptions and conspiracy theories around this thirty three feet, I think, which should be pretty interesting if they're paying attention to these studies. The site of the discovery, the Western Cemetery, as long as long, fascinated archaeologists. It's tightly dotted with rectangular mud brick and limestone tombs called mastabas. One area of the cemetery, however, is suspiciously flat and empty, which has led experts to wonder if that patches barren surface belies underground secrets. This is where ground penetrating radar and ERT came to fruition. The techniques, both staples of mare our modern archaeology, allow scientists to see benefit the surface without disturbing the archaeological site. The former technique sends pulses of radio waves into the ground, measuring how they returned to reveal the densities and compositions of materials they encountered. A similar principle is applied with ERT, using the resistance of electrical currents to determine those same properties. It's almost like double checking those ground surveys. Exhumed are curious structures, which appeared as an anomaly due to their shape sharply different densities compared to the surrounding earth. Their distinct shapes mean they're almost certainly human made, the researcher said. Moreover, the shallow structure appears to be packed with homogeneous sand, suggesting it was deliberately backfilled after the construction, perhaps serving as an entrance to the deeper structure. That deeper structure shows up as a highly resistive anomaly, meaning it could be sand, or even more tantalizingly, a void indicative of an empty man made chamber. We believe that the continuity of the shallow structure and the deep large structure is important, they wrote in the study. For now they can't precisely determine the materials causing the anomaly, but future ground surveys could change that. Pretty interesting. They need to do that around that. What is it the right paw of the great Sphinx? That where the ancient Library of Atlantis is supposed to be per what Edgar Casey and who knows what they really tell us, you know, it could change the whole belief system around what they've been building their careers upon, you know, as far as ancient Egypt and the burial sites and pyramids and all that stuff. So pretty interesting what they let us know and what they don't. We'll be watching, all right, everybody. That's been your little news bite for the day. It's been a little bit, but hope to get these back rolling. I've been mixed strange your host, and I am out of here. D n it is a da das names is an abid
