The Greco-Malay Kingdom Of The Golden Chersonese

 

Alexander The Great is able successfully conquer India and is able to push to the legendary Golden Chersonese. After his death a Diadochi state in the Malay Peninsula forms becoming a major thalassocracy that Hellenises the region giving birth to a new Buddhist Greco-Malay Culture. The large amount of Gold in the area attracts immigrants from the far side of the world looking for riches and increase the Greek population. Eventually a new divergent Hellenic language is created which would persist for generations. At one point Greek is spoken from Iberia to Sumatra.

Scientists Are Reviving an Avian Dinosaur — Should We Be Worried?

 

Some scientists are attempting something bold — and maybe a little terrifying. By studying ancient DNA and manipulating the genetics of modern birds, researchers are trying to revive traits of the so-called “avian dinosaurs.” It sounds like the plot of a sci-fi movie, but it’s happening in real labs right now. In this video, we’ll explore how far this research has already gone, what scientists hope to learn, and why many experts warn it could create more problems than discoveries. Bringing back prehistoric traits might unlock evolutionary secrets… or unleash consequences we’re not ready for. Let’s dive into the science and the risks behind resurrecting a dinosaur’s distant cousin.

 

Scientists are attempting to revive a giant moa, a 12-foot-tall flightless bird. Explore the ethical and scientific challenges of de-extinction, including DNA manipulation and ecological impact. This thought-provoking documentary examines the potential consequences of bringing back extinct species.
