Do you know what Mycelium is?
Mycelium, or mycorrysis, is a fungus that expands underground, creating a network of connections between all plant species, something like the Internet, which allows them not only to communicate, but also to take care of themselves, protect themselves, and feed themselves. Stock up on the water
When a tree in the forest is cut down, this mycelium communicates to many trees in the forest that one of them is dying and all the other trees through the mycelium begin to care for the remaining trunk to try to save that life. They feed it with water and protect it because that dying trunk is part of the forest family.
Everything has a language. It is the universal language.
We learn to reconnect with this non-verbal language, understanding that we are all part of the same thing.
We still have a lot to learn from our older brothers, from the trees and the forest and above all from Our Mother Earth.

Pe**te is a small, spineless cactus native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, known scientifically as Lophophora williamsii. It's prohibited in Mexico. The cactus grows to a height of 2 to 7 cm and a diameter of 4 to 12 cm, with the part above ground called the "corona." This corona consists of disk-shaped sections that contain mescaline, a psychoactive compound.
Pe**te flowers, which can be white, pink, slightly yellow, or reddish, bloom during the day and measure 1 to 2.4 cm in length and 1 to 2.2 cm in diameter. After flowering, small pink fruits appear, which turn brownish-white when dried. These fruits are fleshy and contain black, pear-shaped seeds that are about 1 to 1.5 mm long and 1 mm wide. Pe**te has a bitter taste.
The cactus thrives in limestone soils and thorny desert scrub at altitudes between 100 to 1,500 meters above sea level, which helps protect it from predators. Pe**te grows very slowly, taking over 30 years to mature and flower. Within its genus, L. williamsii has the highest concentration of mescaline.
Mescaline, a compound similar to dopamine, has psychedelic effects primarily due to its interaction with 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, though its affinity is lower than that of LSD-25. A psychoactive dose of mescaline is about 5 mg per kg of body weight, with each pe**te button containing around 45 mg. The effects begin about 30 minutes after oral ingestion, as mescaline is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. The oldest pe**te plants have the highest mescaline content, which varies from 0.7% to 3.5% by weight, depending on environmental conditions and soil quality.

A newly discovered wondrous pool, which lies 700 ft. below Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico, has never before been seen by human eyes. This cave pool, which appears to be completely “virgin,” was found in Lechuguilla Cave, one of the world’s largest and most famous caves.
The cave had not before been touched by humans at all, as scientists found this natural wonder at a depth of 213 meters below the entrance to the cave. This depth also makes it one of the tallest (or deepest) caves in the world.
Lechuguilla Cave and its unique microorganisms have attracted interest from microbiologists because, despite several million years of isolation from the terrestrial environment, they display widespread resistance to modern clinical antibiotic drugs. In a Facebook post on their official page, Carlsbad Caverns called the site “completely pristine” and noted that they believe the bacteria living in the water had “evolved entirely without human presence.”
The amazing ‘virgin’ pool recently discovered in Lechuguilla Cave of New Mexico is perfectly pristine. The immaculate pool discovered in the cave network appears almost unearthly and is surrounded by white frosted rock. While the water may look murky with a creamy tint to it, the coloring is actually the product of an optical illusion.
This cave is located in New Mexico and is 203 km long. Geoscientist and expedition leader Max Wisshak explained that the water in the pool is actually “crystal clear” and is believed to have come from ancient rainwater that seeped through the limestone lying overhead and dropped or slid along the cave walls into the pool.
“This pool has been isolated for hundreds of thousands of years and had never seen light before that day,” said Carlsbad Caverns natural and cultural resources chief Rodney Horrocks.
The uncontaminated pool is so important because almost everything is contaminated with human pollution these days. Even in the depths of Antarctica, litter and other man-made products contaminate the environment. It’s a rare treat for science to be offered a completely clean sample of nature.
No one knows when the cave system actually formed. Adding to it's mysterious allure.

Everyone knows that the whale is a mammal, but what few know is that a small whale is breastfed, but not through direct contact like other land mammals...
Instead, the female whale throws away her milk while her child is near her to breastfeed, but whale milk has a high-fat content of 50%. Therefore, the form of milk is thick and sticky and does not dissolve in water.
So the baby whale can grab and eat the milk. A perfect breeding geometry.

When the Titanic sank, it carried millionaire John Jacob Astor IV. The money in his bank account was enough to build 30 Titanics.
However, faced with mortal danger, he chose what he deemed morally right and gave up his spot in a lifeboat to save two frightened children.
Millionaire Isidor Straus, co-owner of the largest American chain of department stores, "Macy's," who was also on the Titanic, said:
"I will never enter a lifeboat before other men."
His wife, Ida Straus, also refused to board the lifeboat, giving her spot to her newly appointed maid, Ellen Bird. She decided to spend her last moments of life with her husband.
These wealthy individuals preferred to part with their wealth, and even their lives, rather than compromise their moral principles. Their choice in favor of moral values highlighted the brilliance of human civilization and human nature.

1. Pyramids are not tombs; no mummy has ever been found inside the pyramid. All mummies were found in the kings valley.
2. How the hell do you cut 20 ton blocks of granite with extreme precision and lift them one on top of the other, in the "king's chamber", with WOODEN RAMPS !!
3. Let's say wooden ramps were used; you need to cut down a whole forest in order to provide wood to move 2.3 MILLION blocks of huge stones. Where the hell is the evidence for that wood?
4. There is not a single hieroglyphic text that says ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.
5. How many "slaves" or workers do you need to quarry, cut and lift 2.3 MILLION stones? Where the hell do you find people who can laser cut and lift huge tons of granite?
6. How do you position the whole pyramid to face true north, 4000 years ago when the builders "didn't know about the WHEEL" ? (That's the bias of mainstream egyptologists).
7. The top of the pyramid is a quarter of an inch off center (base of the pyramid); that's after placing 2.3 million blocks of stone. When you divide that tiny margin of error by 2.3 million stones, the accuracy at which the stones were placed is unparalleled and has never been done by modern architects with all modern technology.
8. What about all the megalith structures around the world? Why were they building the same geometry with almost the same techniques? What about the pyramids of Japan, found underwater !?
Conclusion: 90% of Human history was buried by time, the other 10% is written by the victors.
NO it's not aliens. Just Advanced Ancient Human Tech.

A Sociable weaver's giant nest in Namibia, probably the most spectacular structure built by any bird.
The Sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) is a species of bird in the weaver family found across South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. This species construct large compound community nests that resemble huts, complete with a sloping thatched-grass roof that sheds rain. These nests are the world’s largest and most populated tree houses, with some weighing up to a ton or more and measuring up to 20 feet wide and 10 feet tall.
Built around large and sturdy structures like acacia trees or sometimes even telephone poles, the nests provide shelter from direct sunshine, rain, drought, and cold. They are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds, consisting of several generations at a time. Each breeding pairs tends to its own compartment with its private entrance and line the interior with soft downy plant material. These entrances are packed closely together and when seen from below, the communal nest has a honeycomb appearance. These birds are constantly making home improvements, adding new nesting chambers, and some nests have remained occupied for over a century!

A very well-preserved 3000-year-old sword was found inside a grave in the town of Nördlingen, Bavaria, Germany. It is reported that this 3000-year-old sword is in such good condition and extremely rare to be found in this location, except for a few scratches. Mathias Pfeil, Head of the Department of Monuments Protection of Bavaria State, speaking about the subject, "The sword and the tomb still need to be examined in order for our archaeologists to be able to classify this relic more accurately. However, this can already be said that this is an extraordinary situation. Such a finding is very rare," he explained.

Fire rainbows, also known as circumhorizontal arcs, are a rare atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when sunlight passes through high-altitude cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals. The ice crystals must be aligned in a specific way to refract the light, creating a spectrum of colors that resembles a rainbow. Despite their name, fire rainbows have nothing to do with fire; the name comes from the vibrant colors and fiery appearance.
For a fire rainbow to appear, the sun must be at an elevation of at least 58 degrees above the horizon, and the light must hit the ice crystals at the right angle. These conditions make fire rainbows more likely to be seen in summer, particularly at mid-latitudes. When visible, they often stretch across large portions of the sky, forming a stunning, colorful arc.

The lighter penguin is an elderly female whose partner died this year. The darker one is a younger male who lost his partner two years ago. Biologists have followed them as they meet every night to comfort each other. They stand for hours together watching the lights. Photographer Tobias Baumgaertner captured this image of two widowed fairy penguins looking over the Melbourne skyline. It has won an award in Oceanographic magazine’s Ocean Photography Awards 2020. 💙

The sunflower is not a flower! 🌻 Its petals are actually ray flowers and are made up of multiple petals fused together. Ray petals are usually yellow but can sometimes be red or orange.
The number of petals of a sunflower plant is determined on its size. A sunflower has between 34 and 89 petals. Now, look inside the "flower" more closely. Look into what you once thought was the flower and is actually a lot of tiny "flowers". Many... Many... Beautiful and delicate in an alignment beyond harmonic (the geometry of nature). What you thought was a flower, is actually an outline that holds hundreds and hundreds of flowers... The ray florets of sunflower are known as neuters because it consists neither male or female parts in the flower. If the flower contains any of the small strap-shaped flowers in the head of certain composite plants, such as the daisy is called Ray floret.
And if we look at it with the eyes of gardeners, we will realize that each little flower holds within itself, in this golden dust, countless fields of sunflowers.
In biology, this is called an infloration. 🌻
