On the ancient Babylonian tablet IM 67118, dated 1770 BC, was found Pythagoras’ theorem, which was used to determine the length of the diagonal inside a rectangle. This occurred several centuries before Pythagoras was born: he was born around 570 BC.
Another tablet, dated around 1800-1600 BC, revealed a square with signed triangles inside, indicating that the ancient Babylonians were aware of Pythagoras’ theorem and other mathematical concepts.

In the region of Sohag, Egypt, an archaeological team has found many vessels with the remains of wine, the age of which reaches at least 5000 years. The unique discovery was made during work in Umm El Kaab: an international team of scientists from Germany, Austria and Egypt worked there. The sealed jars were located near the burial of the ruler of Merneit, who belonged to the I Dynasty.
The artifacts are still in good condition and contain the remains of a grape-based alcoholic beverage, presumably used for ritual purposes.
The find is an important evidence of the importance attached to wine by the inhabitants of ancient Egypt, including as an instrument of religious rituals.

Killing
Animals would have continued to compete for territory, females, and resources, so bloody battles, often fatal, would have gone nowhere.
Metabolism
The blood of many animals of the “vegan planet” would not have been built on hemoglobin. And it should be understood that iron of “animal” origin representatives of fauna assimilate much better than “vegetable”.
Diseases
If there were no predators and scavengers, the number of populations would be regulated by diseases.

Experts analyzed 250 past studies and summarized their results. As it turned out, the greatest resilience was demonstrated by people who have such qualities as responsibility, politeness, emotional stability and openness.
Extroverts, who are characterized by activity and sociability, have more friends and acquaintances, thanks to which they can more easily cope with stressful conditions.
Emotional stability implies the ability to deal with negative emotions and stress with minimal health consequences. Responsible people prefer to plan their actions and avoid unpleasant situations, which helps to reduce stress.

Profits at Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, rose sharply in the first quarter as the Taiwanese electronics giant benefited from rising demand for server technology, although it fell short of expectations.
Net profit jumped 72% to NT$22.01 billion ($680 million). But the figure was lower than Bloomberg’s forecast of NT$29.1 billion.
Much of the quarterly jump in profit came from a lower base of comparison from last year, when the company faced a pronounced decline in demand for electronics.

In late 2023 and early 2024, economists were under the impression that the U.S. economy was on track, with steady if unspectacular growth and cooling inflation that would allow the Fed to loosen its grip and even possibly lower interest rates. But over the past couple of months, expectations for such a “nirvana” have been revised.
Recent reports have pointed to the opposite: a so-called inflation boom, where economic growth remains strong but inflation accelerates again.
At the same time, the labor market remained stable, and the employment cost index, that is, an indicator of employee wage growth, was on the rise.
