Scientists have revived a 50,000 year old zombie virus that had been trapped deep within the Siberian permafrost in Russia.

Over a dozen prehistoric viruses were discovered by researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research.

They made the foreboding discovery within ice cores deep underground in Siberia, Russia.

The preprint study revealed 13 never-before-seen viruses that had been laying dormant within the ice for tens of thousands of years - and are now being brought back.

Researchers revived a virus that was 48,500 years old, called Pandoravirus yedoma.

However, this is not the first time the boffins have found such ancient diseases trapped within the ice.



Back in 2014, the same researchers found a 30,000-year-old virus trapped in the permafrost and found that, after all that time, it was still able to infect organisms.

Now, with the thirteen new viruses in hand, scientists are thawing them out to assess their impacts on public health.

However, the find raises a very real and worrying possible threat to the world.

As the permafrost, or permanently frozen ground, melts and thaws, the ice is releasing the chemicals and microbes that were trapped there.

This is happening more and more because of climate change and could include releasing more ancient viruses we know nothing about.





Prepare for Armageddon

scientists can lie
more than the devil
The fact that you are scientifically illiterate doesn’t make science a lie, in science, things are verifiable and testable with proven methods.

The fact that you are scientifically illiterate from a 3rd world country where science education is pretty dead doesn’t make it a lie

You can use various dating methods to date isotopes in samples to get the age of that specimen. You are just an illiterate from Nigeria who didn’t get proper science education

In Revelations, the Bible foretold the invasion of pestilences, diseases, wars and drought that will plague humans towards the end times. Many scientists and politicians are being used to fulfill all these prophecies.
After the rapture, the reality will begin to affect the humans left behind

Where in the scriptures does it talk about anyone being left behind?

I hope this will not turn into another covid 19, what exactly are they looking for in such virus?

Maybe Putin wants to use it against the west as retaliation for losing Ukraine's war, but it will spread all over the world. cheesy

This will be more brutal than covid 19 if it is the same virus that is affecting people in zombie movies we use to watch.

We are all walking dead!

50000 years! Another lamba, scientist go just dey yarn dust because they know that nobody is going to debunk their lies

These are estimates, but why is it that anytime you guys hear how long something has been in existence, you start shouting? This earth has been in existence for millions of years. Why is it such a big deal for something on earth to have existed for 50,000 years.

SIRTee15:


Africans are retrogressive in nature and mindset. All we want to do with our time is pleasure, sex and deity worship. No sense of inquisitiveness or adventure.

It was the same what to do with lives and time that made the white man discover a whole new massive continent. That discovery gave them the huge leap forward ahead of other civilization at that time.

White man also used that time to expand technology and made life very comfortable/convenient for man kind.

Black man has a long way to go if he's to escape the dung of human hierarchy.
The goat will also be among the first to rush a new oyibo invention immediately it's out.
Someone said it's only the black man that will not develop science and tech or their environment, but will be the first to buy the newest Bugatti with latest sophisticated tech cos that's what the black man is. We might not be in physical chains but we're still mentally enslaved.
Don't mind them bro.

God save us from foolish scientists.

These viruses are bound to escape the ice one day. Identifying and studying them now is an ideal to stay ahead. Besides, dead/inactivated viruses can be used to create antibodies. There are still a lot incurable diseases out there, and the cure will not knock on our door. People risk thier lives in search of knowledge or new discoveries that could make the earth a better place or, at least, keep it protected.

Y'all just stay in Africa and call people names when they make bold steps. You really think it is in the nature of science to stop searching for new discoveries or to see one and just ignore it? Anyone that took basic science subjects in secondary school knows it doesn't work that way. The drugs and other health products you use, do you think they were all manufacturing by scientists staying at home?
