In the shadows of history, nestled among the majestic Alai Mountains of Uzbekistan, lies the ancient city of Samarkand. Known to the Greeks as Marakanda, this city has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, from the Persians to Alexander the Great, and later flourished under the Samanid dynasty and the Mongol empire of Timur Lenk. It’s a place where history whispers secrets, and one of these secrets is particularly enigmatic—a mysterious artifact, lost in the mists of time.

A 3D fish fossil complete with eyeball was found alongside a һoѕt of marine animals in a farmer’s field in Gloucestershire, UK.

The term garderobe later came to mean wardrobe in French and its original meaning was because of space which in castle toilets was never bigger than necessary.
