DONKEY NANNIES, Lombardy, Italy 🇮🇹
It a charming and practical tradition where donkeys are used to help shepherds transport newborn lambs down from the high mountain pastures. These donkeys, outfitted with specially designed sidebags, carry the lambs while their mothers follow closely. This ensures the lambs are safe and not overexerted during the journey, especially in the rugged terrain of the Alps. The practice highlights the strong bond between animals and humans in traditional pastoral life and reflects a sustainable way of living in harmony with nature.

2,000 year old human torso of an Irish man that was found in a bog back in June of 2003.

The remains were naturally mummified and preserved so well that scientists were able to even determine his last meal after analyzing the contents of his stomach: wheat and buttermilk. For at least 4 months prior to his death, he was shown to have a meat rich diet. Based on the length of his arms, he was estimated to have been 6 ft 6 inches (1.98 m) tall which would have been extremely tall for that time period.

According to Oxford University, the average male height around this time was around 165 cm (5 feet 5 inches).

The man also had manicured nails which has led to speculation that he was not engaged in manual labor and was someone of high status. His body is currently on display at the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.

Hi, I found this wheel shaped rock on the beach in the west coast of Puerto Rico island. It's diameter is about 1 meter. Does anyone know if this is a normal formation?
REVISION: So, most people say it's either a millstone or an anchor. Quite a few were reminded of the Flinstones. ;)

The Sacred Well of Predio Canopoli, accidentally uncovered in 1923 during a search for water in Perfugas, Sardinia, is an incredible relic of the Bronze Age, built over 3,000 years ago. Created by the Nuragic civilization, a mysterious culture that thrived in Sardinia long before recorded history, the site highlights their remarkable craftsmanship. It features a rectangular limestone atrium, a staircase with eight steps, and an underground chamber thought to have held water for rituals.

Over the centuries, the site was adapted by other civilizations. A megaron-style temple was added nearby, and Roman-era houses were later constructed in the area. Artifacts discovered at the well suggest it was an important place for religious practices. Predio Canopoli offers a rare glimpse into the ancient world and its layers of history shaped by different cultures.
