1.A belly button is formed from tissue left over
from the umbilical cord. So, it is our first
scar.
2.During the research “A Jungle in There” that
took place in a 2012, scientists investigated
the biological diversity in belly buttons of 60
people. They identified a total of 2,368
different species living in belly buttons!
While the average person had 67 species
swarming around in there.
3.Many mammals have no belly button at all.
Most of them as well as certain humans
have their navels obscured by fur, fade over
time, or have a thin scar or small bump
instead.
4.Belly button piercing takes from six months
to a year to heal. During all this time it
should be kept dry and clean to avoid
infection, the signs of which are throbbing
pain, redness and swelling, and discharge.
5.Gazing at your own navel was a form of
meditation of Greek Christian monks of
Mount Athos. They used a specific method
of “navel contemplation” called Hesychasm,
believing it gives a broader insight into
divine glory.
6.“Omphaloskepsis” is the scientific term for
navel-gazing.
7.Earth has a belly button as well! A giant
pothole colloquially named “Cosmic Navel”
is situated in the heart of Utah’s Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
This unique landform is almost 200 feet
wide, and geologists believe it may be up to
216,000 years old. 2 Likes |
