Located deep within the depths of the Ybytyruzú mountain range, in Paraguay, stands the imposing enigma of Itá Letra (‘Piedra con Letra’), a place that is home to a set of indescribable petroglyphs, which for a long time were presumed to have been Viking in nature. The enigmatic set of petroglyphs date back to around 5,000 BC and feature numerous symbols. However, the most prominent of them all are the engravings which are believed to depict ‘Star Maps’ or Constellations. Nevertheless, recent investigations discard this theory, noting that this ’ancient’ script still remains undecipherable and was most likely created by ancient Paraguayan inhabitants. It is noteworthy to mention that even before archaeological surveys of the area, explorers from different parts of the world were known to visit this place frequently, attracted by the version that the figures were inscribed by Nordic explorers, thousands of years ago, and even before ‘Columbus’ stumbled across America.
From this proto-scientific explanation, several other myths proliferated; among them, the Viking origin of the population known as Guayakí, people who dominated the Ybytyruzú mountain range until a few decades ago. The enigmatic set of inscriptions were studied by a team of archaeologists from the Museo de Altamira (Spain) in 2010. The researchers concluded that the figures were elaborated by natives of the area, between the years 5,000 and 2,500 BC, thus discarding Scandinavian Vikings as possible authors. Thanks to this study, it was possible to register, document and interpret most of the symbols of Itá Letra. The results are stunning, from Star maps to every-day objects.  The oldest of the Itá Letra symbols are believed to date back to around 5,000 BC. and are located in the most hidden caves. The symbols represent constellations, footprints of felines or birds, female sexual organs, among other objects that the inhabitants of that time perceived and reproduced in their caves. They were communities who inhabited the region prior to the Avá Guaraní people. The best-known set of symbols, located on the surface, exhibits more abstract strokes that have not been interpreted, formed by curved and straight lines. These mysterious symbols are believed to have been ‘written’ around 2,500 BC. These last petroglyphs of Itá Letra are a palpable sample of the secrets that hide deep within the South America continent, which is more ancient and mysterious than we can imagine.

When the ESA launched the Gaia spacecraft in 2013, it didn’t generate the same fanfare as the launch of other missions like the JWST, or first light from telescopes like the Vera Rubin Observatory. That’s largely because Gaia doesn’t capture gorgeous images of celestial objects like other telescopes. Instead, Gaia was an astrometry mission.
Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron) in materials, are a key focus of condensed matter physics studies. These bound states can give rise to interesting and uncommon quantum physical effects, which could be leveraged to develop optoelectronic and quantum technologies.
Researchers have discovered similar Kufic characters in Central Asian tomb mosaic dating back to the same period of history. Kufic, which is the oldest form of Arabic calligraphic script dates back to the seventh century. Scientists concluded that this could be an important piece of evidence that the ancient Vikings of the ninth and 10th centuries were greatly influenced by Islam. According to experts, the presence of Arabic script invoking the name of “Allah” in ninth- and 10th-century Norse burial clothes indicates that Islamic afterlife beliefs had great spiritual significance to ancient Norseman who were buried in the clothes. This, in turn, directly suggests that some of them were Muslims who practiced the Islamic faith or even may have held afterlife beliefs that they identified with the beliefs of the Islamic faith. “In the Quran, it is written that the inhabitants of Paradise will wear garments of silk, which along with the text band’s inscriptions may explain the widespread occurrence of silk in Viking Age graves,” said Annika Larsson, an expert in textile archaeology at Uppsala University’s Department of Archaeology and Ancient History. However, it is noteworthy to mention that this is not the first time that Islamic artifacts have been discovered at Norse archaeological sites. Archaeologists have long insisted that the Islamic artifacts found at various Norse archaeological sites could be have been the result of loot obtained during raids. Some experts maintain that some items directly linking the Norse to Islam may have been procured through trade. “That we so often maintain that Eastern objects in Viking Age graves could only be the result of plundering and eastward trade doesn’t hold up as an explanatory model,” Larsson added. “The inscriptions appear in typical Viking Age clothing that have their counterparts in preserved images of Valkyries.” Featured image credit: Nejron Photos/Shutterstock Source: The man said he was going to walk to a gas station, but got “lazy” and decided to borrow his roommate’s daughter’s toy car instead

A new NASA mission will capture images of Earth’s invisible “halo,” the faint light given off by our planet’s outermost atmospheric layer, the exosphere, as it morphs and changes in response to the sun. Understanding the physics of the exosphere is a key step toward forecasting dangerous conditions in near-Earth space, a requirement for protecting Artemis astronauts traveling through the region on the way to the moon or on future trips to Mars. The Carruthers Geocorona Observatory will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida no earlier than Tuesday, Sept. 23.
