Ancient
The Youngest Soldier Of World War 2
I'm going to talk about the film "Soldier Boy," which is based on the actual account of the World War II soldier who was the youngest. Watch out for spoilers! Take care and pay attention! At the opening of the movie, a family of three is shown having fun by a river in Russia. German fighter planes unexpectedly fly overhead while the youngest, Sergei Alyoshkov, is boasting to his mother and elder brother about being atop a tree. In response to his mother's advice that they take quick cover in the bushes, the six-year-old slingshots the plane and declares he is not terrified. He hits the jets and blows them apart, shocking everyone. But he discovers his family has moved on. When Sergei wakes up, terrified by the dream, he cries out for his mother. A knock on his door occurs at that same moment. Thinking it's his mother, he rushes towards it, only to be met by a horrified neighbor woman. She informs him that his brother and mother have died, and she thanks God for keeping him alive. Because he cannot understand what his mother is saying, the little child wants to stay in the house and wait for her. The woman tells him that the Germans have assaulted them and he should run. Abruptly, a few soldiers move toward their house. The woman is shot and murdered before she can get through the window to join Sergei outside. He is six years old, living alone, and has no family or friends. Sergei runs from the house, seeing his entire neighborhood burning behind him. After a fruitless call to his mother, he walks away. After a while of running, he finds himself in the midst of the woods. The small child starts yelling for his mother to come get him after discovering he's lost. He stays in the forest for the night. The next morning, as we observe him drinking from a river, the enemy soldiers move in. Sergei knows that a tree's roots are poisonous, so he quickly hides inside of them. He is scared when the snake gets closer, yet he doesn't scream or run away. More than the snake, the soldiers terrify Sergei. Sergei takes their leftovers and eats them all night long after the troops complete their lunch by the river and depart. However, the little youngster is exhausted at the end of the day. He hasn't had a real meal in the last two days and has been wandering aimlessly. He falters and trips, yet he doesn't stop moving. He consumes some wild berries he finds on the trail, but just then, an explosion behind him takes him off guard. The boy starts to feel dizzy and notices someone is coming from behind. But even in these dangerous conditions, he tells the person he has a rifle and he is not afraid. He staggers further, but finally faints. While he is asleep, two soldiers come up to him. Cut to Commander Kuznetsov at the Russian army base, waiting for his patrol soldiers. They carry the little, injured, and weak youngster inside. When the soldiers declare that they are on his side, the small boy lets loose and introduces themselves. The troops laugh when the boy shakes hands with the commander and offers to introduce himself. The soldiers follow the small youngster around, showing him a lot of affection. They make him drink water and feed him. Even the cold-blooded commander gives the youngster attention. Nurse Katya, who is equally charmed by Sergei's manner, tends to his wounds. The young boy wants to be a soldier when he grows up, so he requests her to draw a tank over his wounds. After talking with the child, even the injured warriors feel better. Sergei is fascinated by the commander's rifle and his batch. The commander takes out the bullets, answers all of the little boy's questions, and lets him use his honorary pistol. Sergei shows him the tank that is drawn on his stomach and brags about becoming a soldier himself. The child is healing rather quickly. The young man's commander, Sergei, says it won't be safe for him to stay with the battalion. Nurse Katya says he wants to put Sergei to an orphanage instead. Every free moment the soldiers had was spent with Sergei. He receives visits from a number of people during the day. When they bring him meals that their distant relatives have prepared, they even allow him to use their binoculars. One day a soldier goes up to the commander and asks whether the boy can stay with the regiment. The soldiers have developed a strong bond with the boy and practically think of him as their own. They are freed from the weight of conflict by his presence. The commander is adamant about sending the child to the orphanage for his own protection. The following day, the enemy attacks, wounding a large number of men. A car picks Sergei up and takes him to the orphanage. The commander breaks the bad news to the boy and presents him with a wooden honorary pistol. Returning the hug, the young man expresses his concern for the commander's safety. The commander reconsiders and melts into his embrace. He asks Sergei to stay with the army because he is his son. Sergei stays with the soldiers that evening, and they are thrilled to have him. Sergei looks for small soldier clothes for the little child. The commander wakes Sergei awake and gives him his clothing. He rushes around looking like a real soldier while sporting these. The other boys call him their "little soldier boy." While the child is running around, the Germans launch an aerial attack on the unit. The troops quickly lead Sergei to a safe place while battling the other soldiers. The amount of injured soldiers is increasing at a rapid pace. Sergei tries to be helpful by giving water to soldiers who are thirsty. One of them asks to read a letter from his family while wearing a bandage over his eyes. The small child, who is illiterate, is eager to help. Grabbing the letter, he starts making stuff up, saying that the soldier's cow is safe back home. When the soldier confesses he doesn't own a cow, the others urge him to chuckle and continue with the tale. He comforts everyone by reading their letters in a similar manner. In the scene that follows, the Commander and Katya can be seen talking. The two seem attracted to one another, but they don't talk about their sentiments. Then Sergei introduces himself and tells the Commander that he works as an orderly for the battalion. The child then sees one of the soldier's stations being damaged as a result of the assault. He is told to take off his hat as a symbol of respect for the soldier who has died. He tells the commander he needs a mission the next day, and he was given the task of giving the letters to the guys. He works fast and efficiently; he even makes the soldiers perform dances for him. The following day, Sergei ventures a little outside the base with his binoculars. He's playing around with it when he sees movement coming from a haystack within someone's leg. He swiftly makes his way back to the unit and shares his findings with the soldiers. Though skeptical, the soldiers go with the child. As they approach the haystack, they are told there are two German agents hidden behind it. The spies are arrested and the boy is praised for his cunning. That evening, the commander shows Sergei the adoption paperwork. He is now the child's legal father. In exchange for his chivalrous behavior, Sergei takes the commander to declare his feelings for Katya. But when they see her talking to another man, they think she's interested in someone else, which is a mistake. Another attack on the base is launched by the Germans. Sergei tries his hardest this time to help the front-line soldiers by bringing ammunition, but the soldiers there tell him to go back inside the shed because the outside situation is too dangerous. He gets to the shed and finds everyone, including the colonel, in a panic because the phone isn't working. A soldier is sent to repair the broken cables. Sergei finds out the soldier has a fatal wound after chasing after him. He consults with the deceased soldier before attempting to mend the lines himself. After the connection is repaired, more troops are sent in. All of their lives are saved by the six-year-old. Later on, we see the commander and Katya having a conversation by the river. Finally, the commander confesses his love for her and begs her to become Sergei's mother. A soldier arrives and gives the commander a letter letting him know they've been sent off the base before Katya can say anything further. Katya is overjoyed. Sergei leaves for his new base with the other soldiers the following day. However, some of their automobiles explode up when they come across a minefield while they are traveling. The commander is hurt, but Sergei was near the group's orderly, who dies in the explosion. He hugs the commander while crying. Taking the injured with them, they move on to their new base. When they finally reach the second base, they run into the commander's leader, the General. He tells the captain how lucky he is to have such a gifted youngster and shares his own appreciation for the boy's ambition. The following day, a guard's banner is given to the boy and their division. He makes a vow to protect his nation when the general offers him his batch. its base was attacked viciously one night, leaving its leader isolated beneath the rubble. Sergei sobs for his father and pleads to be saved. He eventually reveals himself as the leader after calling on the other soldiers. The commander that Sergei encounters the next day is injured; he cut his hand trying to save the commander. The young person is now a vital component of the team. Due to the disagreement, he travels wherever they go without the support of his family. As the movie draws to an end, we witness the regiment moving to a new base. A background voice said that he even took part in the Stalingrad battle and that he and the army managed to reach Poland. He is currently recognized as the youngest soldier in history, and the world is being informed of the legendary narrative of his bravery.

History Upside Down by Prehistorians
We're in the Caribbean, and these are the Tyo individuals. Researchers have long accepted that they were the main occupants of the more noteworthy enemy, and those individuals were wandering the passageways well before Columbus found this spot. Anyway, a new revelation showed that there were a few different people groups residing there. These folks are known as the old individuals, and they are currently known for being great at utilizing stone devices. They've utilized an entire bundle of cleaned devices, for example, hammers and tomahawks. We actually haven't figured out how they figured out how to concoct and deliver that multitude of instruments without unique hardware. Researchers are currently searching for a kind of necropolis or a comparative archeological site to figure out additional information about these individuals. Another inquisitive settlement was found two or quite a while back, not far away from Florida. This one is pre-colombian as well, yet it appears that the occupiers there were more into design than making stone apparatuses. the researchers found a complex of 37 clam shell Rings there were numerous families with these rings and local people would create dots from the shells of marine animals by how some time in the past globules weren't planned exclusively for style yet they were additionally a significant social instrument individuals would sew them on their garments to show their influence or abundance in some cases archeologists figure out how to find entire urban communities this is precisely exact thing elany Cora an excavator from Greece did she found the lost city of tenia back in 2018 it was anything but a fortunate happenstance the entire pursuit required however much 34 years by how Tania was even viewed as a legendary city the city of Tena was a Trojan established City and the old messages guaranteed it was staggeringly rich well seems like the messages were valid The paleologist found around 200 currencies on the site, and some gems were found there too. For example, there was an iron ring with a seal. They additionally found a gold currency that was evidently used to pay for an excursion to life following death. No doubt, in those days, individuals accepted that it existed and expected to pay for a pass to arrive. The found dirt stones and marble floors assist us with envisioning what their residences resembled, and the archeologists additionally discovered a few bases there. One of the earliest instances of human-made craftsmanship is situated in the cavern of Alira in Northern Spain. The canvases in a Paleolithic cavern are so exceptional on the grounds that they're not monochrome yet have a few tones joined. Still, these earliest magnum opuses were concealed for quite a while; they were just found in 1868, and today this cavern is a UNESCO world heritage site. In spite of how old these compositions are, they're very much protected in light of the fact that they've been all around segregated for this time since the display was found somewhere down in a cavern. It is remarkably difficult for outside climatic impacts to destroy these ancient magnum opuses. We are currently in Britain. 2009: Meet Terry Herbert, an individual from the block witch exploration and metal recognizing club. One day he was nonchalantly reviewing furrowed farmland in Staffordshire with a metal locator. I surmise he probably needed to track down something uniquely great, yet I bet he didn't anticipate finding what he truly found. He found something that researchers later called the biggest crowd of old English saxon gold and silver metal work. At any point, he found something. There's a rundown of things found, yet assuming I begin perusing it to you, it will require me a truly lengthy investment to spare the gritty details. The classicist found 11 lb. of gold, 3 lb. of silver, and around 3500 bits of gems. No big surprise this disclosure is known as the staff member swarm the Birmingham Exhibition hall and the craftsmanship display and earthenware Gallery contributed and purchased the whole assortment ction for more than 3 million messages in a jug are a renowned social peculiarity we frequently find in films yet it turns out this technique for saving letters is very proficient this is demonstrated by the Dead Ocean Looks, harking back to the 1940s bedwin Shepherds found seven Parchments contained in mud containers in a cavern these not entirely set in stone to be around 2,000 years of age yet these compositions were just the start of various extraordinary disclosures the beduins sold these compositions yet individuals kept finding more the last Revelation occurred in 2021 and who knows perhaps there's something else to find One more piece of craftsmanship as of late found in a cavern was a painted shell. This fossil was found in Northern Italy, and researchers accept such fossils were gathered by Neanderthals. This find is interesting for an explanation. Neanderthals are accepted to have been very crude, yet this shell demonstrates the contrary. Back in 2004, Robert Muckle, a paleohistory teacher, caught wind of A curious site concealed in the timberland of the North Shore piles of English Columbia Robert realized that a couple of old jars and a saw cutting edge had been viewed there. This spot was accepted as a kind of logging camp, yet an exhaustive unearthing that required 14 years to finish uncovered something else. It turns out it was anything but a logging camp yet a tragically missing Japanese settlement. The archeologists found around 1,000 things, for example, white and blue rice bowls, tea kettles, pocket watches, purposeful containers, and buttons. The ceramics weren't excessively safeguarded all around, so they just found many sections in one of his meetings. Robert mentioned that they also discovered remnants of a shower house. Because there were only about 14 houses discovered, the researchers believe that they probably lived there covertly. Researchers figured out how to find the absolute most seasoned instances of individuals' #1 food. They examined some old stoneware and figured out how to find hints of best-cherished food, dating all the way back to around 2,000 BCE. Everything occurred in Sicily, and think about what that food was. No, it wasn't pizza or pasta except for olive oil, and additional specialists from Egypt found some knotty substance in some old ceramics, which ended up being cheddar. It traces all the way back to the thirteenth century BC. I get it didn't smell decent since that cheddar is assessed to be north of 3,000 years of age and was microbes ridden cool truth here this cheddar probably been very lovely subsequent to concentrating on it researchers reached the resolution that it was cooked with various milks they guarantee old individuals utilized a combination of cow's milk and sheep or goat's milk you likely thought hello you referenced olive oil and cheddar yet what might be said about bread sure bread is indivisible from practically any culture and various individuals have had their own kind of bread and there's logical proof that bread was one of the primary dishes individuals figured out how to cook a gathering of Archeologists discovered some bread that was north of 14,000 years of age 14,400 years of age to be exact what's bizarre is that individuals in those days were curious about horticulture they were trackers and in fact this old bread originates before the period of Horticulture by 4,000 years definitely there's still a lot to find out about the ancient world.
