    Huge ancient lost city found in the Amazon

 

The discovery changes what we know about the history of people living in the Amazon. The houses and plazas in the Upano area in eastern Ecuador were connected by an astounding network of roads and canals. The area lies in the shadow of a volcano that created rich local soils but also may have led to the destruction of the society.

While we knew about cities in the highlands of South America, like Machu Picchu in Peru, it was believed that people only lived nomadically or in tiny settlements in the Amazon. “This is older than any other site we know in the Amazon. We have a Eurocentric view of civilisation, but this shows we have to change our idea about what is culture and civilisation,” says Prof Stephen Rostain, director of investigation at the National Centre for Scientific Research in France, who led the research.

“It changes the way we see Amazonian cultures. Most people picture small groups, probably naked, living in huts and clearing land – this shows ancient people lived in complicated urban societies,” says co-author Antoine Dorison.

The city was built around 2,500 years ago, and people lived there for up to 1,000 years, according to archaeologists. A network of straight roads and paths connected many platforms, including one that extended 25 km (16 miles).

Dr Dorison said these roads were the most striking part of the research. “The road network is very sophisticated. It extends over a vast distance, everything is connected. And there are right angles, which is very impressive,” he says, explaining that it is much harder to build a straight road than one that fits in with the landscape.

The societies were clearly well-organised and interconnected and the Upano people living there probably mostly focussed on agriculture.

    What´s the Difference Between the Metric and Imperial System?

                                                                                            Aug 11, 2021

 

While most of the world uses the International System of Units, aka the Metric System, Liberia, Myanmar and the United States are the only countries that have not officially adopted the Metric System. The United States has its own system, based on the old British Imperial System of inches and pounds.

 

    What Is the Metric System?

 

The Metric System, or SI (Système International), is based off this original meter and currently the official system of measurement for almost all countries in Latin America, Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania. The SI units–fundamental units not based on any other units–are meter, kilogram, second, ampere (electricity), kelvin (although Celsius is a more practical measurement for nonscientific applications), mole (chemistry), and candela (luminous intensity).

 

    What Is the Imperial System?

 

The British Imperial System was the official system of weights and measures in the United Kingdom from 1824 until they adopted the Metric System in 1965. The Imperial System standardized measurements for units like pound and foot that had different meanings in different places.

    There are 2 common types of OTC (Over The Counter) pain medicines: Paracetamol is often recommended as the first medicine to try, if you have short-term pain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is a group of medicines that work by reducing swelling and inflammation, and relieving pain. These include aspirin, ibuprofen and diclofenac. While OTC medicines are more easily accessed, they still carry risks. These medicines can sometimes cause unwanted side effects. If you take other medicines or substances, OTC pain-relief medicines can affect how your body responds to them. Your doctor or pharmacist can advise you on if it is safe to take OTC medicines for pain relief together with your other medicines.
