It required a lot of creativity to get the stones to stand up straight. The builders eventually chose a technique associated with woodworking rather than brickwork. They used tongue and groove joints to slot the stones together, creating mortice holes and protruding tenons. Timber poles were placed at the back of the pit as a brace support when the hole for the stones was dug. The stone was then placed into place and lifted up with ropes while rubble was stuffed into the pit to keep it in place.

Because relics of the clay oven called a Tandoor, which was used to cook the chicken, were found during an excavation, historians and archaeologists now think that the genesis of the Tandoori Chicken occurred during the Harappa Civilization. Tandoori chicken's origins can thus be traced to the Harappan Civilization, though the Punjabi people of Pakistan are responsible for its redistribution. Who would have thought that our ancestors would have had as much luck as to have what we are having now when eating the Tandoori chicken with green chutney from your favourite restaurant.

The young queen was a wedding trendsetter. In 1840, it wasn’t normal to see a bride wearing white. The color was considered boring and conservative, but Victoria didn’t care. She chose simplicity over opulence, and her lacy silk-satin grown—crafted from the finest British textiles—gave a much-needed boost to the struggling lace trade. Several years later, a women’s publication stated that white was the “most fitting hue” for brides, and a tradition was born.

During this period, the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten complained about pirates raiding his coastal cities and ports. According to the Royal Museums Greenwich, the tyrants also threatened ancient Greece's trading routes and looted grain and olive oil cargoes from Roman ships.

Makeup was not exclusively a feminine phenomenon for the Egyptians. Both Egyptian men and women used lip lipstick, including bright hues like orange, blue, and magenta. Talk about setting fashion trends. The pigment was applied by Egyptians using a moist stick of wood. Rich Egyptians were often buried with at least two jars of lip colour.

Flowers, fish scales, and crimson ocher were among the other elements.

Instead of feeling bad about your limiting ideas, seek to recognize and change them. Cutting-edge genetic research demonstrates why you should not blame yourself for bad attitudes that prevent you from manifesting properly. Scientists in Atlanta discovered that when mice link the aroma of cherry blossom with an electric shock, they become so sensitive to the scent that they transmit their fear to their offspring via genetic coding. This means that even mice that did not receive a shock will be terrified of the aroma of cherry blossom. Furthermore, brain imaging studies demonstrate that this anxiety is represented by the presence of certain neurological receptors.

People with type 1 diabetes have immune systems that attack the insulin-producing cells in their pancreas for reasons that remain a scientific mystery. As a result, the cells are unable to produce insulin, which is necessary for other cells to access the bloodstream's glucose for energy. The bloodstream then becomes unhealthyly high in sugar. Conversely, those who have type 2 diabetes can still produce some insulin, but not enough. As a result of their cells developing insulin resistance (often as a result of obesity), glucose builds up in the bloodstream.
