Imhotep, the world's first known physician, used Sleep Temples as healing sanctuaries. The temples were used as a type of suggestion therapy, and people would go there to be healed of physical and mental ailments. Patients who visit a Sleep Temple are said to be put under the influence of incantation or a hypnotic state. Before finally falling asleep, the physician would make whatever suggestions he could to help them overcome their problem in the hopes that the gods would visit the patient while he slept and fix them.

Glassblowing is a disappearing art form. There is just no demand for blown glass today due to the rise of mass production. Really, it's a shame because blown glass is so exquisite and distinctive. No two pieces are exactly the same because each is entirely handmade. Only a few glass-blowing studios are in existence, and even fewer artists are skilled at blowing glass. 

This one might not come as much of a surprise as Leonardo DiCaprio isn’t known for his drawing abilities. What might raise an eyebrow is a stand-in who drew the picture was the actual director of Titanic, James Cameron. Well known for his artistic side, Cameron is the one who drew Kate Winslet. The only problem is he and Leo write with different hands, so they had to use a mirror image of the actual shot in the movie to keep the continuity.

Chemosensory hairs on the legs and feet detect food. Small antennae in front of their eyes are employed to track for food from a distance. "If you watch a lobster in a tank in a market, you'll notice that they're flipping about, looking for food, dissolved chemicals in the water," Bayer explains.

Beluga whales have a low dorsal ridge but no dorsal fins. Less surface area can be used to lose heat to the environment because there is no dorsal fin. A beluga may also more easily swim beneath large ice sheets and find breathing holes without a dorsal fin.

Slowbro is unusual in its capacity to revert to its previous incarnation, Slowpoke, according to the sometimes untrustworthy Pokedex entries. When a Shellder hooks on to a Slowpoke's tail, the creature develops, and it appears that the process is reversed if the shell Pokemon ever lets go.

The large pagoda in Yangon is iconic of Myanmar and attracts pilgrims from around the country. Tourists marvel at this giant, gold plated complex in the centre of the former capital. When you visit, you can understand why it’s so valuable. More than 60 tonnes of gold cover the exterior of the pagoda. And if you look up at the top of the main stupa that extends up into the sky, you’ll see a giant diamond sat inside the hti. This is a real 75 carat (or 15 gram), practically flawless diamond on top of the pagoda. And not to mention the thousands of others that decorate the statues and pavilions.

It's easy to dismiss Einstein's ideas of relativity as entirely theoretical, yet they have real-world implications. The theory of general relativity, for example, asserts that gravity influences time: time flows quicker for things in space than for those on Earth. And this has far-reaching ramifications for many space-based systems, including GPS accuracy. His theories are also fundamental to nuclear technology and explain how electromagnets function.

Doctor Strange was nearly not given to Benedict Cumberbatch. Despite fierce A-list competition from Justin Theroux, Jon Hamm, Ewan McGregor, Johnny Depp, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Jared Leto, it was Joaquin Phoenix's rejection of the role that allowed Marvel Studios to officially announce Benedict Cumberbatch as the best character fit for the role of Doctor Strange.

None of the fairyfly species exhibit any signs of courtship. A female is reportedly fertilized by just one male, according to observations. Different species have displayed minor mating peculiarities. It is typical for the female fairyfly to outnumber the male in a brood by a ratio of about 20 to 1 in species like Prestwichia Aquatica, Anaphes nipponicus, and Anagrus armatus. Additionally, some species have an inversed sex ratio, as is the case with Polynema striation.

Denmark is one of the happiest nations in the world, therefore it may come as a surprise that there is no literal equivalent for the word please in Danish, according to VisitDenmark. Even though there is no word for please in Danish, you should still be polite.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, as the saying goes, and this proved to be true for a very early design of the mousetrap. Colin Pullinger unveiled his Perpetual Mousetrap in the mid-1800s, claiming that it would last a lifetime. Pullinger could still make that claim more than a century later.Even without bait, the 155-year-old device on display at England's Museum of English Rural Life caught a mouse that snuck into it in 2016. In an attempt to build a nest, the mouse entered the trap and activated the see-saw mechanism. Unfortunately, the rodent did not make it. The perpetual mousetrap, on the other hand, clearly does!

Nong Fa Lake, a magnificent volcanic lake high in the mountains of southeast Laos, is veiled in stories, reverence, and dread. Laotians refuse to swim or bathe in the lake because they think it is home to a monstrous snake pig that will devour anyone who ventures into its depths. Nong Fa, which translates straight to "sky lake," is thought to be roughly 78 meters deep, however, locals aren't sure because attempts to measure the depths using bamboo poles have failed.

Your brain is linked to your spinal cord. The spinal cord, on the other hand, does not accept all orders from the brain and has the power to send direct impulses to the muscles. A muscular spasm is an excellent illustration of this, in which reflex impulses that induce movement do not come from the brain.

The figures of Gods and Goddesses at the Khajuraho temples depict the different manifestations of Shakti and Shiva, also known as the Yin and Yang, or feminine and masculine forces.

According to Psychology Today, the brain patterns triggered while a weightlifter lifts heavy weights are also activated when the lifter simply imagines and visualizes the activity of lifting weights. That is, your mind is unable to distinguish between what is real and what is imagined. When you envision yourself shooting the basketball, your skill will develop just as if you were doing physical practice. This is one of the primary reasons why visualization is so effective in assisting people in reaching their goals. Several elite and exceptional sportsmen, such as Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Usain Bolt, picture and rehearse their practice and game victory many times before they actually do it.
