Let’s go inside Bryn Celli Ddu Neolithic passage tomb!
Built c. 5,000 years ago to align with the rising sun on the Summer Solstice!
Look for the stone pillar inside the burial chamber, like a tomb guardian keeping watch from the shadows!

The Puss-and-Mew machine, created by Captain Dudley Bradstreet in 1736, is considered the first vending machine for alcohol. Coins were placed in the cat’s mouth and the drink poured from its paw. 🐈🍸

#Dinosaurs didn’t roar like in ‘Jurassic World’: Some could sing like birds.
The mystery of the sounds made by colossal extinct reptiles takes a new turn following the discovery of a fossilized larynx similar to the vocal organs of avian species

The fridge that runs without electricity! Mitticool, made of terracotta, cools using ancient evaporative cooling, just add water. Invented by Mansukhbhai Prajapati post-2001 quake, it’s eco-friendly, off-grid, and keeps food fresh for days. Low-tech meets timeless wisdom. 🌍💧
