Did exist the labyrinth of the minotaur?




In 1900, English archaeologist named Arthur Evans discovered the remains of a huge building, now known as the Palace of Knossos. It is thought that the complexity of the palace, with its 800 rooms, suggested that the chroniclers of the time the idea of a 'maze'. Looking closely, it was discovered that part of it had been in his time a strong center of religious activity, where they worshiped bulls. According to legend, the wife of King Minos, who lived in this place, fell in love with one of them and gave birth to a monster, the Minotaur, half man half bull. Minos imprisoned his stepson inside the palace, and each season the neighboring kingdoms required to deliver a group of seven maidens and seven youths for their sacrifice.


How do dolphins sleep?



These whale must be conscious to breathe, which is a major problem when sleeping because they might drown in the process. Therefore,while dolphins sleep they keep awake a half of their brains to regulate the function of breathing while the other half rests. Also dolphins continue swimming while sleeping, and doing it in three main ways: shallow dive in and out every so often to the surface for air, maintaining most of the body under water while leaving out the blow hole-hole Respiratory they have in the top of her body, or when in deep water, dive to the bottom and only emerging occasionally to breathe.
