Heating System Confirms Ancient Kingdom Was ???

"The largest 'ondol' heating system dating from the Barhae kingdom has been unearthed in a nearly intact state in Russia's Maritime Province, confirming the kingdom to have been a Korean settlement.

Ondol, literally 'warm stone', is an under-floor heating system where flues carry hot gases below the living space. They were a distinct feature of Korean dwellings and are not found in the remains of Chinese, Khitan or Jurchen homes.

"ARCHAEOLOGISTS have uncovered an important Stone Age site in the heart of Surrey".

An excavation has turned up flint tools and cooking pots from about 10,000 years ago at the site on the North Downs. The area, which bears the remains of cooked meals, campfires and flints shaped into tools by people who visited the North Downs around 8,000BC, is believed to contain one of the most important Mesolithic excavations in Britain."

Bones reveal first shoe-wearers

"Sturdy shoes first came into widespread use between 40,000 and 26,000 years ago, according to a US scientist".

Humans' small toes became weaker during this time, says physical anthropologist Erik Trinkaus, who has studied scores of early human foot bones.
He attributes this anatomical change to the invention of rugged shoes, that reduced our need for strong, flexible toes to grip and balance.
The research is presented in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

The development of footwear appears to have affected the four so-called 'lesser' toes - excepting the big toe."

India and Canada Governor

"Like the Indian President, the Canadian Governor General gives assent to bills okayed by the two houses of Parliament, appoints the Prime Minister and his team and judges, serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the nation's armed forces (of just above 60,000 personnel compared to Indian Army of 1.1 million alone) and receives foreign dignitaries and envoys.But there is one big difference. India is a republic where the President is elected -- indirectly -- by its lawmakers at the state and federal levels. On the other hand, Canada is a constitutional monarchy. The Canadian Governor General is appointed by the British Queen at the recommendation of the Canadian Prime Minister. Thus the Governor General serves as the representative of Queen Elizabeth who is also the Canadian monarch (During her visits to Canada, the Queen takes over the role of the Governor General. Queen Elizabeth has been to Canada for about two dozen times since taking over five decades ago). Curiously, Canada shares its monarch (the Queen) with more than a dozen Commonwealth states."

Harvard anthropologists find evidence that 'khipu' were used to track accounting data

CAMBRIDGE, Mass - Anthropologists at Harvard University have found evidence that ancient Inka accountants shared numbers across their sprawling bureaucratic hierarchy using khipu, aggregations of knotted strings that served to record information in the Andean empire. The finding sheds new light on the uses of khipu, used by Inkans in lieu of the two-dimensional writing favored by other ancient civilizations."
