RedBenson:


What could be responsible for the two ocean waters that meet themselves not to mix? I would love to have scientific explanation on this.


Like the oceans belongs to two different geographic regions which means that their temperature, high salinity, density, amount of direct sunlight received completely differs, making it difficult to mix. Glacial melt water and off shore waters of gulf of Alaska.
May be scientists in the house will shed more light.

77. On this day in 1923, in Thebes, Egypt, English archaeologist Howard Carter enters the sealed burial chamber of the ancient Egyptian ruler King Tutankhamen. Because the ancient Egyptians saw their pharaohs as gods, they carefully preserved their bodies after death, burying them in elaborate tombs containing rich treasures to accompany the rulers into the afterlife. In the 19th century, archeologists from all over the world flocked to Egypt, where they uncovered a number of these tombs. Many had long ago been broken into by robbers and stripped of their riches. When Carter arrived in Egypt in 1891, he became convinced there was at least one undiscovered tomb that of the little known Tutankhamen, or King Tut, who lived around 1400 B.C. and died when he was still a teenager. Backed by a rich Brit, Lord Carnarvon, Carter searched for five years without success. In early 1922, Lord Carnarvon wanted to call off the search, but Carter convinced him to hold on one more year.In November 1922, the wait paid off, when Carter’s team found steps hidden in the debris near the entrance of another tomb. The steps led to an ancient sealed doorway bearing the name Tutankhamen. When Carter and Lord Carnarvon entered the tomb’s interior chambers on November 26, they were thrilled to find it virtually intact, with its treasures untouched after more than 3,000 years. The men began exploring the four rooms of the tomb, and on February 16, 1923, under the watchful eyes of a number of important officials, Carter opened the door to the last chamber. Inside lay a sarcophagus with three coffinsnested inside one another. The last coffin, made of solid gold, contained the mummified body of King Tut. Among the riches found in the tomb golden shrines, jewelry, statues, a chariot, weapons, clothing the perfectly preserved mummy was the most valuable, as it was the first one ever to be discovered. Despite rumors that a curse would befall anyone who disturbed the tomb, its treasures were carefully catalogued, removed and included in a famous traveling exhibition called the “Treasures of Tutankhamen.” The exhibition’s permanent home is the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

90. The Great Depression. This picture shows a man is jumping out of the window while the meeting is going on. This picture represents the great depression because people could not find a solution to slow down the depression, and people did not have the money to live in the bad economy. 1930s.

61. Britain vs Germany, 1914.

Despite having been at war with one another for five months, British and German troops in Ypres managed to arrange an unofficial ceasefire on Christmas Day, 1914. With no shots having been fired on Christmas morning, soldiers ventured out of their trenches into no-man’s land to recover their fallen comrades. A football was kicked out from a British trench, and so began perhaps the most famous football match of all, altering the very course of world history, if only for a few hours.
