this tonight july 1st 2017 as the

12
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:28,720
setting sun closes the curtains on the

13
00:00:34,389 --> 00:00:31,279
day and the darkening skies bring out a

14
00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:34,399
myriad of far-off suns let the moon

15
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:37,600
introduce you to a very special star

16
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:40,160
the nearby bright star to tonight's moon

17
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:42,800
and the planet jupiter is none other

18
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:46,160
than drum roll please spika the sole

19
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:47,920
first magnitude star in the

20
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,719
constellation virgo the maiden the much

21
00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:52,399
brighter object in the vicinity of

22
00:00:58,150 --> 00:00:55,039
tonight's moon and speaker well giant

23
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:58,160
planet jupiter jupiter the fifth planet

24
00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:00,000
outward from the sun will remain in

25
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:01,680
front of the constellation virgo till

26
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,520
mid-november this year

27
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:05,760
for a convenient measuring stick how

28
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:08,080
about this the moon's diameter

29
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:11,200
approximates one half degree of sky and

30
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:13,840
your fist at arm's length spans about 10

31
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:15,760
degrees on the sky's dome

32
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:18,000
and another reference jupiter shines to

33
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:20,960
the west of spika or conversely putting

34
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:23,680
the star first spika resides to the east

35
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:24,960
of jupiter

36
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,600
in a few to several more days in fact

37
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:29,840
the moon will be farther east of spika

38
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:32,320
on the sky's dome and closer to the star

39
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:34,880
antares and the planet saturn

40
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:37,280
now when that happens you can use the

41
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:39,600
dazzling planet jupiter as your guide

42
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:43,360
star to spika it's a planet of course or

43
00:01:48,389 --> 00:01:46,240
next year 2018 when jupiter is no longer

44
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:48,399
close to spika you might find it helpful

45
00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:51,360
to do that star hop kinda dance to spika

46
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:53,680
instead and you can find a chart that

47
00:01:59,749 --> 00:01:56,000
shows you exactly the steps to that

48
00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,759
dance later at ufoheadlinenews.com

49
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,600
if you live in the northern hemisphere

50
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:03,680
and you're familiar with the big dipper

51
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:05,840
you can count on this famous pattern of

52
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:08,640
stars to guide you to spika simply

53
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:11,920
extend that big dipper handle to ark to

54
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:13,840
the brilliant yellow orange star

55
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,280
arcturus and then spike to spika as that

56
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:20,080
old saying goes spika is a blue white

57
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:21,599
gem of a star

58
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,599
bruce mcclure notes that if we've got

59
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:25,680
difficulty discerning star color with

60
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:28,640
our eyes alone binoculars are a handy

61
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:29,520
helper

62
00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:31,040
here's the bottom line

63
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:33,840
let the moon guide you to spika on july

64
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:37,200
1st 2017 and then use the big dipper to

65
00:02:43,589 --> 00:02:39,920
locate virgo's brightest star after the

66
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:43,599
moon's flirtation with spika ends

67
00:02:49,190 --> 00:02:46,480
as the name implies off the beaten path

68
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:49,200
here at ufo headline news is that we're

69
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,040
going to take some steps in some

70
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:53,599
different directions here's a tasty

fast food chicken sandwich was

77
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:12,879
successfully carried to the edge of

78
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:15,360

79
00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:16,400

83
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:28,560
at 9 11 a.m eastern daylight time they

84
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:31,120
took off out of page arizona

00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,760
there was a live webcast and it cut out

86
00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,000
before liftoff but a representative for

87
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:38,159
world view confirmed the launch was

88
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:41,040
successful and kfc later released a

video of the balloon taking off

90
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:46,000
the dialogue went something like this

91
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:49,040
quote holy cow that's some spicy crispy

92
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:51,120
chicken moving out at an average rate of

93
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,159
1 000 feet per minute that's 304 meters

94
00:03:58,470 --> 00:03:56,480
per minute and quotes those were the

95
00:04:00,710 --> 00:03:58,480
words of the official announcer in the

balloon lofted skyward he continued

98
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:05,840
quote the zinger should arrive at target

100
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:10,640

aloft for four days and maintain an

104

altitude of about fifty thousand to

105
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:22,560
eighty thousand feet which translates to

150 000 feet or 45.8 kilometers that

144
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:00,080
means they would remain below something

the company worldview said it has plans

to use these balloons for scientific

test flight the launch originally had

166
00:06:53,909 --> 00:06:51,520

188
00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:46,560
advisory board

189
00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:48,639
in his speech stephen hawking reiterated

190
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:50,960
his belief that humans need to explore

191
00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:53,840
space to avoid the dangers of our own

192
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,599
finite world

193
00:08:00,070 --> 00:07:57,360
and then he described how humans could

194
00:08:01,909 --> 00:08:00,080
one day travel on a beam of light

195
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:01,919
harnessing the power of einstein's

196
00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:04,000
theory of relativity to reach

197
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:06,800
mind-boggling distant planets

198
00:08:10,950 --> 00:08:09,120
the human imagination has led us to peer

199
00:08:13,749 --> 00:08:10,960
ever deeper into the universe with

200
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:13,759
scientific tools said hawking yet

201
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:15,919
despite this ability to investigate the

202
00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:17,840
most distant reaches of the universe

203
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:19,919
without leaving our backyards

204
00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:21,759
humans shouldn't be content with this

205
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:23,599
sedentary approach

206
00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:24,400
quote

207
00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:26,800
shouldn't we be content to be cosmic

208
00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:29,039
sloths enjoying the universe from the

209
00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:32,080
comfort of earth the answer is no end

210
00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:34,800
quotes that's what stephen hawking said

211
00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:37,519
he continued quote the earth is under

212
00:08:41,909 --> 00:08:39,680
threat from so many areas that it's

213
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:41,919
difficult for me to be positive end

214
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:43,120
quotes

215
00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:45,600
what's more humans are naturally curious

216
00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:47,920
explorers who are driven to push into

217
00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:49,120
the unknown

218
00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:50,880
stephen hawking described the looming

219
00:08:55,829 --> 00:08:53,519
threats of a too crowded world facing

220
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,839
climate change the collapse of animal

221
00:08:59,030 --> 00:08:57,839
species and the draining of physical

222
00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:59,040
resources

223
00:09:03,990 --> 00:09:00,800
stephen hawking has previously mentioned

224
00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:04,000
his conviction that humanity is doomed

225
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:06,800
in the next millennium unless people can

226
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:09,440
come up with an escape plan

227
00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:11,040
quote when we have reached similar

228
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:13,279
crises in our history there's usually

229
00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:16,160
been somewhere else to colonize columbus

230
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:18,800
did that in 1492 when he discovered the

231
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:20,160
new world

232
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:26,560
around the corner end quotes hawking

233
00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:27,600
said

234
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:29,360
the easiest targets are the places

235
00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:32,480
closest to home the moon and mars and

236
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,320
that's what he said in his stormis

237
00:09:39,750 --> 00:09:36,640
address the moon is nearby but it's

238
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:39,760
small it has no liquid water and lacks a

239
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:41,440
magnetic field to shield people from

240
00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:42,720
radiation

241
00:09:48,389 --> 00:09:45,040
mars may once have had liquid water and

242
00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:48,399
an atmosphere but not any longer

243
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:50,880
but there's an even more promising idea

244
00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:53,040
to explore some of the planets in the

245
00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:55,680
vicinity of our nearest stellar neighbor

246
00:10:01,670 --> 00:09:58,640
proxima centauri it lies at a distance

247
00:10:03,829 --> 00:10:01,680
of about 4.5 light years from earth

248
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:03,839
where one light year is nearly 6

249
00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:07,040
trillion miles or 10 million kilometers

250
00:10:11,829 --> 00:10:08,720
then there's that planet circling

251
00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:11,839
proxima centauri called proxima centauri

252
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:12,560
b

253
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:17,040
least in a few respects according to

254
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,399
stephen hawking

255
00:10:24,069 --> 00:10:20,880
however we'll never know how hospitable

256
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:24,079
proxima b is unless we can get there

257
00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:25,760
at current speeds using chemical

258
00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:28,480
propulsion it would take three million

259
00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:31,279
years to reach that exoplanet

260
00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:33,200
thus space colonization requires a

261
00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:35,279
radical departure in our travel

262
00:10:39,590 --> 00:10:36,640
technology

263
00:10:41,829 --> 00:10:39,600
quote to go faster would require a much

264
00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:41,839
higher exhaust speed than chemical

265
00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:45,600
rockets can provide that of light itself

266
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:47,839
a powerful beam of light from the rear

267
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:49,920
could drive the spaceship forward

268
00:10:54,790 --> 00:10:52,640
nuclear fusion could provide one percent

269
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:54,800
of the spaceship's mass energy which

270
00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:56,959
would accelerate it to a tenth of the

271
00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:59,600
speed of light end quotes

272
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:01,760
going faster than that would require

273
00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:03,519
harnessing matter antimatter

274
00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:06,560
annihilation or as yet undreamed of

275
00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:08,880
technology he added

276
00:11:13,509 --> 00:11:10,800
when matter and antimatter come into

277
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:13,519
contact they annihilate by the way

278
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:15,920
releasing gobs of energy

279
00:11:20,230 --> 00:11:17,839
to bring these seeming pipe dreams

280
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:20,240
closer to reality hawking along with

281
00:11:25,030 --> 00:11:22,800
physicist and billionaire yuri milner

282
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:25,040
has founded a company breakthrough

283
00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:27,120
starshot we've talked about that here on

284
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:29,680
ufo headline news they're aiming to make

285
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:32,560
interstellar travel a reality as an

286
00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:35,120
early prototype the team is creating a

287
00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:37,279
teensy space probe just a few

288
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:39,600
centimeters wide they're going to attach

289
00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:42,399
that to a minuscule light sale

290
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:45,600
the plan to send 1 000 of these star

291
00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:48,800
chips and their sales into the void with

292
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:52,000
a raise of lasers uniting to form one

293
00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:54,480
powerful light beam that would propel

294
00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:57,279
the tiny sails with gigawatts of power

295
00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:59,680
according to stephen hawking the energy

296
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:01,680
imparted to these tiny space probes

297
00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:03,920
could zoom them to speeds reaching about

298
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:07,519
100 million miles per hour that's 160

299
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:09,760
million kilometers per hour

300
00:12:14,750 --> 00:12:11,760
that would mean they would reach mars in

301
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:14,760
a day as opposed to

302
00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:17,760
260 days using propulsion

303
00:12:21,829 --> 00:12:19,839
at one-fifth the speed of light the

304
00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:21,839
probes would reach alpha centauri in

305
00:12:27,350 --> 00:12:24,800
just 20 years they'd send images of any

306
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:27,360
possible planets back on another light

307
00:12:32,069 --> 00:12:29,360
beam according to hawking

308
00:12:34,069 --> 00:12:32,079
there's another physicist claudius gross

309
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:34,079
he's proposed using these tiny space

310
00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:36,880
explorers to colonize far-flung planets

311
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:39,680
with a biosphere of unicellular

312
00:12:45,670 --> 00:12:42,800
organisms to sum it all up let's finish

313
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:45,680
with the words of stephen hawking quote

314
00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:48,240
human colonization on other planets is

315
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:51,360
no longer science fiction it can be

316
00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:52,880
science fact

317
00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:54,959
the human race has existed as a separate

318
00:13:00,069 --> 00:12:57,680
species for about 2 million years

319
00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:00,079
civilization began about 10 000 years

320
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:02,560
ago and the rate of development has been

321
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:04,480
steadily increasing

322
00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:07,040
if humanity is to continue for another

323
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:10,320
million years our future lies in boldly

324
00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:14,000
going where no one else has gone before

325
00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:15,200
end quotes

326
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:18,720
ah those words those star trek source

327
00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:21,920
words a continuing nod to mr gene

329
00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:26,000
our weekend off the beaten path takes us

330
00:13:32,629 --> 00:13:29,279
now to scotland to this headline loch

331
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,639
ness monster spotted tourist's photo

332
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:34,399
sparks debate

333
00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,760
the source here is foxnews.com tech

334
00:13:42,949 --> 00:13:39,839
department but we're going to read it

335
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:42,959
anyway it's a fascinating story and here

336
00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:43,920
we go

337
00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:46,639
is that nessie there's a photo of a

338
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:49,519
strange object moving in the waters of

339
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:52,560
loch ness it's sparking yet another

340
00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:53,600
debate

341
00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:55,279
there's an australian tourist named

342
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,320
peter jackson nope no relation to the

343
00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:00,639
filmmaker of the same name the other

344
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:03,040
person is philippa warren they were

345
00:14:07,110 --> 00:14:05,120
driving along the lock when they spotted

346
00:14:10,069 --> 00:14:07,120
an object in the water and took a

347
00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:10,079
picture of this object on their phone

348
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:11,760
they showed it to a local skipper who

349
00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:14,240
said he had quote not seen anything like

350
00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:15,760
it said quotes

351
00:14:20,550 --> 00:14:17,920
here's another quote from witness philip

352
00:14:23,829 --> 00:14:20,560
awarene quote it was pretty big even

353
00:14:25,509 --> 00:14:23,839
from 150 yards or more offshore

354
00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:25,519
i didn't know what to think

355
00:14:29,509 --> 00:14:27,600
we took photos and showed them to people

356
00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:29,519
at a bed and breakfast and then showed

357
00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:31,600
them to people on a cruise end quote she

358
00:14:34,710 --> 00:14:32,639
said

359
00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:34,720
warren added this object was quote

360
00:14:39,590 --> 00:14:37,279
moving fast but in the direction of the

361
00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:39,600
current end quotes and quipped that if

362
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:41,440
the skipper had not seen anything like

363
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:43,680
that before then quote it must be

364
00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,320
something end quotes peter jackson said

365
00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:48,560
the couple was quote dumbfounded but

366
00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:51,839
excited end quotes to see this object

367
00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:54,959
it seems the event took place at 5 18 pm

368
00:15:00,150 --> 00:14:58,000
local time on june 22nd the couple was

369
00:15:01,110 --> 00:15:00,160
driving north on the west side of loch

370
00:15:02,629 --> 00:15:01,120
ness

371
00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:02,639
they proceeded to get out of their

372
00:15:05,509 --> 00:15:04,240
vehicle and take pictures on their

373
00:15:08,069 --> 00:15:05,519
smartphones

374
00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,079
this sighting lasted five minutes that's

375
00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:10,560
according to the register of loch ness

376
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:13,199
monster sightings oh what a fun read

377
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:14,560
that would be

378
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:16,480
well not claiming it's the monster

379
00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:19,680
itself peter said quote i know i saw

380
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:22,079
something and i know it was large so i'm

381
00:15:26,629 --> 00:15:24,800
keeping an open mind end quote the

382
00:15:29,269 --> 00:15:26,639
sighting is only the second to make it

383
00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:29,279
onto that official register in this year

384
00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:31,600
noted gary campbell he's the registrar

385
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:33,760
of sightings at loch ness

386
00:15:37,990 --> 00:15:36,079
gary campbell added that this picture

387
00:15:41,829 --> 00:15:38,000
along with other pictures of the lock is

388
00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,839
quote a little bit indistinct end quotes

389
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:43,600
but he added that with the detailed

390
00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:45,680
report handed in quote there is really

391
00:15:51,269 --> 00:15:48,399
no clear explanation as to what this

392
00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:51,279
family caught on camera end quotes

393
00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:53,199
incidentally the only other sighting

394
00:15:59,030 --> 00:15:56,240
added to the register in 2017 was may

395
00:16:01,910 --> 00:15:59,040
1st when a dark shape higher than the

396
00:16:03,030 --> 00:16:01,920
waves was spotted in the lox euquahart

397
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:03,040
bay

398
00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:06,560
oh so many monsters so little time

399
00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:09,040
speaking of time let's go way back to

400
00:16:13,990 --> 00:16:12,320
ancient egypt shall we but before we do

401
00:16:16,389 --> 00:16:14,000
we have to briefly touch on the fact

402
00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:16,399
that recently it has come to light

403
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:19,360
that egypt and scotland where we just

404
00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:22,399
saw perhaps the loch ness monster have

405
00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,320
connections way back connections dna

406
00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:28,959
connections but that's an article for

407
00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:31,120
another broadcast so here's this

408
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:34,160
headline ancient egyptian writing

409
00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:36,880
new symbols reveal development of

410
00:16:41,030 --> 00:16:38,399
hieroglyphics

411
00:16:43,189 --> 00:16:41,040
this gets a byline for josh lowe who

412
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:43,199
writes it for newsweek

413
00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:45,920
the elegant pictorial writing system of

414
00:16:50,629 --> 00:16:47,759
the ancient egyptians known as

415
00:16:52,230 --> 00:16:50,639
hieroglyphics has fascinated generations

416
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:52,240
of archaeologists

417
00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,360
its precise origins are uncertain

418
00:17:00,030 --> 00:16:57,440
one ancient egyptian legend holds that

419
00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:00,040
the god thoth or toth

420
00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:03,120
t-h-o-t-h handed the gift of writing to

421
00:17:07,909 --> 00:17:05,679
a few chosen scribes

422
00:17:09,909 --> 00:17:07,919
a more prosaic modern theory suggests

423
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:09,919
they're derived from rock pictures

424
00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:11,760
produced by prehistoric hunting

425
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:14,400
societies wandering the desert

426
00:17:19,829 --> 00:17:17,280
now along comes a new discovery which

427
00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:19,839
might hold some clues as to how carved

428
00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:22,079
images evolved into a formal writing

429
00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:23,120
system

430
00:17:28,549 --> 00:17:26,079
there's a facebook post of all things by

431
00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:28,559
the egyptian ministry of antiquities

432
00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:30,480
it's a new rock inscription site

433
00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:32,720
discovered around 60 kilometers south of

434
00:17:40,150 --> 00:17:35,840
luxor in the village of el cowie that's

435
00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,160
spelled e l hyphen k-h-a-w-y

436
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:42,240
and this quote helps in understanding

437
00:17:46,870 --> 00:17:44,320
the development of a system of graphic

438
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:46,880
communication that sets the stage for

439
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,880
the appearance of true hieroglyphic

440
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:50,720
writing end quotes

441
00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,080
it's a rock panel it displays four signs

442
00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:56,799
it was discovered on a joint yale and

443
00:18:01,510 --> 00:17:58,880
royal museums of art and history

444
00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:01,520
expedition out of brussels it features

445
00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:04,000
depictions of a bull's head on a short

446
00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:06,640
pole followed by two back-to-back

447
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:09,919
saddle-billed storks and a bald ibis

448
00:18:14,390 --> 00:18:12,000
bird above and between them

449
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:14,400
yale university's john coleman darnell

450
00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:17,039
said in an article on yale's website

451
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:19,679
these constitute quote some of the

452
00:18:24,630 --> 00:18:22,240
earliest and largest signs from the

453
00:18:26,470 --> 00:18:24,640
formative stages of the hieroglyphic

454
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:26,480
script end quotes

455
00:18:30,789 --> 00:18:28,080
according to the egyptian antiquities

456
00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:30,799
ministry they say quote these symbols

457
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:33,440
are not phonetic writing but appear to

458
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:36,160
provide the intellectual background for

459
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:38,080
moving from depictions of the natural

460
00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:40,960
world to hieroglyphs that wrote the

461
00:18:44,950 --> 00:18:43,600
sounds of the ancient egyptian language

462
00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:44,960
end quotes

463
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:47,160
the inscriptions date back around

464
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:49,200
5200 years

465
00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:51,280
with each individual sign being about

466
00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:53,120
half a meter in height

467
00:18:57,190 --> 00:18:55,200
said darnell quote this is the first

468
00:18:59,909 --> 00:18:57,200
time that anyone has seen them on such a

469
00:19:03,350 --> 00:18:59,919
massive scale end quotes he said that

470
00:19:05,590 --> 00:19:03,360
the team was absolutely flabbergasted by

471
00:19:07,990 --> 00:19:05,600
the size of this discovery

472
00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:08,000
according to yale they're significant

473
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:10,640
not only for their unique size but also

474
00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:12,880
because they show that even in its

475
00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:15,760
earliest phases the use of hieroglyphic

476
00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:18,640
writing was widespread and not confined

477
00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:21,679
to the offices of dusty bureaucrats as

478
00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:23,760
some had previously argued

479
00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,280
here's another quote from yale

480
00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:27,679
university's john coleman darnell

481
00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:30,240
quote this also suggests that there is a

482
00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:32,720
much more expansive use of the early

483
00:19:36,789 --> 00:19:34,720
writing system than as indicated from

484
00:19:38,789 --> 00:19:36,799
the other surviving archaeological

485
00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,799
material end quotes

486
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:40,799
the researchers found the inscriptions

487
00:19:47,350 --> 00:19:43,280
in the northern desert landscape of el

488
00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:47,360
cabe let's spell that e-l-k-a-b

489
00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:50,160
this area of el cab along with a city

490
00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:53,280
called hierakonpolis oh let's spell that

491
00:20:02,950 --> 00:20:00,070
there's the beginning of the word

492
00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:02,960
hieroglyphics higher con polis across

493
00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:05,600
the river these were extremely important

494
00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:07,679
settlements in ancient egypt according

495
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:09,679
to this latest study

496
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:12,400
speaking of studies let's tease you with

497
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:14,720
this broadcast special coming up next

498
00:20:19,029 --> 00:20:16,720
weekend for off the beaten path we're

499
00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:19,039
going to be covering the latest find out

500
00:20:25,590 --> 00:20:22,559
of gobekli teppy here's a clue it

501
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:25,600
involves human skulls they're very very

502
00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:28,720
old human skulls but yep they're human

503
00:20:33,029 --> 00:20:31,120
skulls so be sure and join us next

504
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:33,039
weekend for that and also we're going to

505
00:20:38,789 --> 00:20:35,120
cover some interesting investigations by

506
00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:38,799
the bigfoot research organization yup

507
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:41,360
sasquatch time next weekend

508
00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:43,520
let's switch now to cats well that's

509
00:20:48,470 --> 00:20:46,559
kind of close to ancient egypt no

510
00:20:49,990 --> 00:20:48,480
here's a dna study

511
00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:50,000
the headline quote

512
00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:53,120
dna study reveals cats traveled with

513
00:20:57,669 --> 00:20:55,360
humans centuries ago

514
00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:57,679
this is from the wires of associated

515
00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:00,640
press there isn't any byline here but as

516
00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:03,600
we do we read it anyway

517
00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:06,559
long before cats became the darlings of

518
00:21:11,909 --> 00:21:09,200
facebook and youtube they spread

519
00:21:14,470 --> 00:21:11,919
throughout the ancient human world

520
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:14,480
a dna study reached back thousands of

521
00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:17,120
years to track that conquest and found

522
00:21:22,070 --> 00:21:19,520
evidence of two major dispersals from

523
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:22,080
the middle east dispersals during which

524
00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:24,640
people evidently took their cats with

525
00:21:27,990 --> 00:21:25,440
them

526
00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,000
and the genetic signatures the felines

527
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:30,880
had on those journeys are still seen in

528
00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:33,200
most modern day breeds

529
00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:36,480
researchers analyzed dna from 209

530
00:21:43,590 --> 00:21:40,640
ancient cats as old as 9 000 years cats

531
00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:43,600
from europe africa and asia including

532
00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:47,039
some ancient egyptian cat mummies

533
00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:49,760
quote they are direct witnesses of the

534
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:52,000
situation in the past and quotes that's

535
00:21:56,630 --> 00:21:54,240
from eva marie gagel of the jacques

536
00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:56,640
monod institute in paris she and

537
00:22:02,870 --> 00:21:59,280
colleagues also looked at 28 modern

538
00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:02,880
feral cats from bulgaria and east africa

539
00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:04,400
it's the latest glimpse into the

540
00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:07,760
complicated story of domesticated cats

541
00:22:11,750 --> 00:22:10,080
they are descendants of wild ancestors

542
00:22:14,870 --> 00:22:11,760
that learn to live with people and

543
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:14,880
became relatively tame although some cat

544
00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:16,720
owners would say that nowadays they

545
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:19,360
don't always seem enthusiastic about our

546
00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:20,640
company

547
00:22:25,669 --> 00:22:22,880
the domestication process might have

548
00:22:27,510 --> 00:22:25,679
begun around 10 000 years ago when

549
00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:27,520
people settled in the fertile crescent

550
00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:29,679
that arch-shaped region that includes

551
00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:31,840
the eastern shore of the mediterranean

552
00:22:35,669 --> 00:22:34,000
sea and land around the tigris and

553
00:22:38,470 --> 00:22:35,679
euphrates rivers

554
00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:38,480
they stored grain which drew rodents

555
00:22:43,669 --> 00:22:42,000
which in turn attracted wild cats

556
00:22:45,590 --> 00:22:43,679
animal remains and trash heaps might

557
00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:45,600
have attracted them too

558
00:22:51,029 --> 00:22:48,799
over time these wild felines adapted to

559
00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:51,039
this man-made environment they got used

560
00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,120
to hanging around people

561
00:22:59,190 --> 00:22:55,360
previous studies had found a cat buried

562
00:23:01,750 --> 00:22:59,200
alongside a human some 9 500 years ago

563
00:23:04,390 --> 00:23:01,760
in cyprus that's an island without any

564
00:23:06,870 --> 00:23:04,400
native population of felines that

565
00:23:08,549 --> 00:23:06,880
indicates the cat was brought by boat

566
00:23:10,870 --> 00:23:08,559
and had some special relationship to

567
00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:10,880
that person researchers say

568
00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:13,760
cats were clearly tamed by about 3 500

569
00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:16,240
years ago in egypt where paintings often

570
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:18,400
place them beneath chairs

571
00:23:23,430 --> 00:23:20,480
that shows that by that time quote the

572
00:23:26,390 --> 00:23:23,440
cat has made its way into the household

573
00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:26,400
end quotes said eva marie giggle but the

574
00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:28,720
overall domestication process has been

575
00:23:33,510 --> 00:23:31,520
harder for scientists to track in part

576
00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:33,520
because fossil skeletons don't reveal

577
00:23:39,990 --> 00:23:36,720
whether a cat was wild or domesticated

578
00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:40,000
it's easier to distinguish canines dogs

579
00:23:45,669 --> 00:23:42,640
our first domesticated animal from their

580
00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:45,679
wolf ancestors dogs evolved from wolves

581
00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:47,679
that had begun to associate with people

582
00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:50,320
even before farming began perhaps drawn

583
00:23:55,110 --> 00:23:53,200
by the food the humans left behind this

584
00:23:58,390 --> 00:23:55,120
latest study tracked the spread of

585
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:58,400
specific cat dna markers over long

586
00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:00,960
distances and through time a sign that

587
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:04,080
people had taken cats with them the

588
00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:06,080
results were released last monday by the

589
00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:09,120
journal nature ecology and evolution

590
00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:11,200
here's a quote from carlos driscoll of

591
00:24:16,870 --> 00:24:14,080
the wildlife institute of india quote

592
00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:16,880
the study strengthens and refines

593
00:24:23,149 --> 00:24:19,440
previous work the extensive sampling of

594
00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:23,159
cat dna going back so far in time is

595
00:24:27,510 --> 00:24:25,840
unprecedented end quotes

596
00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:27,520
researchers were also looking for

597
00:24:32,230 --> 00:24:29,760
genetic variants that produce that

598
00:24:34,870 --> 00:24:32,240
blotchy coat pattern typical of modern

599
00:24:37,269 --> 00:24:34,880
day domestic cats rather than those

600
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:37,279
tiger-like stripes seen in their wilder

601
00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:38,320
cousins

602
00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:40,400
it shows up more often in samples from

603
00:24:45,669 --> 00:24:43,600
after the year 1300 than earlier ones

604
00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:45,679
which fits with other evidence that the

605
00:24:51,430 --> 00:24:48,400
tappy cat markings became common by the

606
00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:51,440
1700s and people started breeding cats

607
00:24:56,950 --> 00:24:54,640
for their appearance in the 1800s

608
00:24:59,029 --> 00:24:56,960
that's late in the domestication of cats

609
00:25:01,669 --> 00:24:59,039
in contrast to horses which were bred

610
00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:01,679
for their appearance early on

611
00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:03,600
most of the study focused on the ancient

612
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:05,360
dispersal of cats

613
00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:08,080
and the dna samples analyzed one genetic

614
00:25:12,549 --> 00:25:10,400
signature found first in the asian

615
00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:12,559
portion of turkey and perhaps once

616
00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:14,880
carried by the fertile crescent cats

617
00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:18,240
showed up more than 6 000 years ago in

618
00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:19,840
bulgaria

619
00:25:24,549 --> 00:25:22,480
that indicates cats had been taken there

620
00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:24,559
by boat with the first farmers

621
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:26,159
colonizing europe

622
00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:28,480
it also appeared more than 5 000 years

623
00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:31,520
ago in romania as well as 3 000 years

624
00:25:35,269 --> 00:25:33,200
ago in greece

625
00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:35,279
there's a second genetic signature first

626
00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:37,600
seen in europe it reached europe between

627
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:40,320
the first and fifth centuries it's shown

628
00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:42,480
by a sample from bulgaria

629
00:25:47,190 --> 00:25:44,960
this was found in a 7th century sample

630
00:25:49,669 --> 00:25:47,200
from a viking trading port in northern

631
00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:49,679
europe and an 8th century sample from

632
00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:50,880
iran

633
00:25:55,990 --> 00:25:53,440
so the dispersal of cats across the

634
00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:56,000
mediterranean was probably encouraged by

635
00:26:01,350 --> 00:25:58,320
their usefulness in controlling rodents

636
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:01,360
and other pests on ships that's what

637
00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:04,640
this new research is showing oh cats if

638
00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:07,600
you have one or two don't they just run

639
00:26:14,510 --> 00:26:12,000
the household twas ever thus apparently

640
00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:14,520
here's something we find fascinating

641
00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:18,000
breatharians it's not anything really

642
00:26:24,789 --> 00:26:21,600
new and the rational wiki entry well it

643
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:24,799
doesn't provide a lot but there is this

644
00:26:30,630 --> 00:26:27,840
practice called breatharianism

645
00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:30,640
it seems to have its roots in antiquity

646
00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:32,320
it's the concept that one can live

647
00:26:38,710 --> 00:26:35,840
without food or drink and subsist only

648
00:26:40,870 --> 00:26:38,720
off of light light from the sun

649
00:26:43,430 --> 00:26:40,880
and here's an interesting little twist

650
00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:43,440
according to many practitioners

651
00:26:49,110 --> 00:26:46,240
this light is accurate channeled

652
00:26:52,870 --> 00:26:49,120
information from a huge invisible

653
00:26:54,149 --> 00:26:52,880
spaceship hovering over north america

654
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:54,159
well hmm

655
00:26:58,789 --> 00:26:56,000
but then again

656
00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:58,799
there are some notable breatharians the

657
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:00,720
name most commonly associated with

658
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:04,000
breatharianism is a woman from australia

659
00:27:09,590 --> 00:27:06,720
she calls herself jazz muhin spelled

660
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:09,600
j-a-s-m-u-h-e-e-n

661
00:27:15,510 --> 00:27:12,640
her born name ellen grieve she claims to

662
00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:15,520
live only on a cup of tea and a biscuit

663
00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:17,440
every few days

664
00:27:22,549 --> 00:27:19,760
however the only supervised test of this

665
00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:22,559
claim by the australian edition of 60

666
00:27:28,789 --> 00:27:26,159
minutes back in 1999 left her suffering

667
00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:28,799
from severe dehydration they had to halt

668
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:31,360
this trial after four days despite ellen

669
00:27:35,990 --> 00:27:33,120
grieve's insistence that she was happy

670
00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:36,000
to continue she claimed the failure was

671
00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:38,880
due to being near a city road that led

672
00:27:43,909 --> 00:27:42,000
her to being forced to breathe bad air

673
00:27:46,390 --> 00:27:43,919
she continued to say this after she was

674
00:27:49,190 --> 00:27:46,400
moved to the middle of nowhere

675
00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:49,200
apparently mohen found some source of

676
00:27:56,549 --> 00:27:53,520
nourishment in 2000 she won the ig nobel

677
00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:56,559
prize in literature for her book living

678
00:28:00,310 --> 00:27:58,080
on light

679
00:28:01,909 --> 00:28:00,320
and then remember dick gregory that

680
00:28:04,310 --> 00:28:01,919
wonderful comedian and civil rights

681
00:28:06,870 --> 00:28:04,320
activist he promoted and followed

682
00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:06,880
something called the fruitarian diet and

683
00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:08,720
promoted but didn't follow the

684
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:12,480
breatharian diet in a still popular 1975

685
00:28:18,710 --> 00:28:15,600
book he wrote the title dick gregory's

686
00:28:21,830 --> 00:28:18,720
natural diet for folks who eat cooking

687
00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:21,840
with mother nature oh bring it

688
00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:24,480
the focus of today's article is a

689
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:27,279
husband and wife named akahi ricardo and

690
00:28:32,710 --> 00:28:30,000
camila costello they believe that food

691
00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:32,720
and water aren't necessary to sustain

692
00:28:38,789 --> 00:28:35,840
humans and that humans can be solely

693
00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:38,799
sustained by the energy of the universe

694
00:28:43,269 --> 00:28:40,960
the couple have a five-year-old son and

695
00:28:45,909 --> 00:28:43,279
a two-year-old daughter together they've

696
00:28:48,710 --> 00:28:45,919
survived on little else besides a piece

697
00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:48,720
of fruit or vegetable broth just three

698
00:28:54,549 --> 00:28:52,640
times per week since 2008

699
00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:54,559
and costello even practiced something

700
00:28:59,750 --> 00:28:57,279
called a breatharian pregnancy

701
00:29:02,950 --> 00:28:59,760
not eating anything during the entire

702
00:29:04,870 --> 00:29:02,960
nine months she carried her first child

703
00:29:07,269 --> 00:29:04,880
the couple claims their food-free

704
00:29:09,669 --> 00:29:07,279
lifestyle has improved their health and

705
00:29:11,669 --> 00:29:09,679
emotional well-being as well as letting

706
00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:11,679
them spend money for traveling rather

707
00:29:16,789 --> 00:29:13,919
than weekly groceries

708
00:29:18,789 --> 00:29:16,799
costello 34 who lives between california

709
00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:18,799
and ecuador with her husband explained

710
00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:21,840
quote humans can go without food as long

711
00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:24,320
as they are connected to the energy that

712
00:29:28,149 --> 00:29:26,880
exists in all things and through

713
00:29:30,149 --> 00:29:28,159
breathing

714
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:30,159
for three years akahi and i didn't eat

715
00:29:34,549 --> 00:29:32,480
anything at all and now we only eat

716
00:29:37,590 --> 00:29:34,559
occasionally like if we're in a social

717
00:29:38,789 --> 00:29:37,600
situation or if i simply want to taste a

718
00:29:40,310 --> 00:29:38,799
fruit
