Stonehenge Tetris

A marvel for the masses! Stonehenge is located in Wiltshire in England. It looks like a real-life game of Tetris. The compilation of blocks was probably constructed about 5,000 years ago. As most historical sites go, this site holds its own controversies. Some archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was used as a burial site. Other archaeologists believe that the landmark was a holy site for pagans who prayed there to receive healing and to connect to higher powers. And me? I see Tetris.

Frozen To Death

Three Incan children were found in 1999 near the Argentinian volcano of Llullaillaco. The bodies were wrapped up like mummies and frozen. Researchers revealed that the children’s deaths occurred 500 years ago. What really got them questioning was that the children seemed to have ingested alcohol and even a raw form of cocaine produced from cacao leaves. The reason for their deaths is believed to be related to a ritual sacrifice. Interestingly, the eldest of the children (13) didn’t seem to be distressed at the time of her death.
