Was Atlantis just a myth — or the memory of a real civilization lost to the sea? In this episode, we dive into Plato's original account, Solon's Egyptian connection, and why new science on sea-level rise makes the story harder to dismiss. We'll explore:• Plato's description of Atlantis and its fall• The Younger Dryas floods and catastrophic climate shifts• Similar flood myths across Egypt, Greece, India, Mesopotamia, and the Americas• Theories on where Atlantis could have been — Santorini, the Richat Structure, the Azores, or even Antarctica• Legends of orichalcum, flying machines, and secret knowledge preserved by groups like the Knights Templar Was Atlantis one city, a global network, or a warning myth?

Spenderorgane sind rar und begehrt. Daher werden auch Tiere zu Organspendern. Noch ist die Xenotransplantation im Versuchsstadium. Doch das Forschungsfeld macht enorme Fortschritte. (00:32) Tierorgane werden immer menschlicher und die Überlebenschancen von Transplantierten immer grösser. Gentechnik macht es möglich, dass die Verpflanzung von tierischen Organen allmählich zu einer realistischen Alternative wird. Bereits schon ein halbes Jahr lebt ein Mensch, der eine Schweineniere erhalten hat. Vor kurzem wurde erstmals eine Schweinelunge in einen Menschen verpflanzt.

Gus Clemens on Wine explores and explains the world of wine in simple, humorous, fun posts

Wine writers freely admit that trying to describe how a wine tastes is the classic “like dancing about architecture” folly. But amid the thousands of wine choices, people still want guidance. Even if the guidance has flaws, it still beats the “even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes” method.There are three commonly used terms in wine reviews that cause controversy—OK, more than three, but today we are going to focus on “round,” “minerality,” and “masculine-feminine.” I will present my take on and use of the terms.• Round. This is a descriptor of texture and mouthfeel rather than flavor. Round means there are amiable tannins, balancing not shrill acidity, integration of wine components, full and creamy texture. California merlots often are round because of their mellow tannins and smooth texture. New Zealand sauvignon blancs are not round thanks to their electric acidity and ramped-up citrus. In general, red wines are more likely to be round than white wines.Round is intended as a positive trait in most cases. Sometimes—as with the New Zealand sauv blancs—you did not come to the wine for round. You wanted sharpness, edges that “cleanse the palate” after a bite of food.I use the term “round,” but I also can argue against it. Round is overly broad and vague. It is extremely subjective. My “round” may not be your “round”—but that criticism can be leveled at almost all wine descriptor terms. The term can be paired with other descriptors for a fuller picture.Texture: creamy, smooth, velvety, silky, supple. Structure: balanced, harmonious, well-integrated. Others: soft (low tannin levels), opulent (rich fruit flavors), plush (rich, luxurious texture).For the record, I strive to reduce use of the term unless it is paired with further descriptors. I think that is a well-rounded approach.• Minerality. Oh, boy, this gets wine geeks a'going. The controversy centers on sensory experience clashing with science. First, the science: wine vine roots do not absorb minerals and mineral tastes directly from rock minerals or limestone. Roots absorb dissolved chemical elements—nitrogen, calcium, iron, potassium. But they absorb these elements primarily from organic matter, not from rocks.Still, wine writers rock on with a flood of related metaphors: flint, chalk, wet stone, crushed rock, gunflint, sea salt. It you want to know what we are talking about, you are told to lick a stone, suck on a pebble, or smell sidewalks after a rain. Not something most people do.My minerality references hinge on three elements.The main trigger for my use of “minerality” is salty flavors. Salt or salinity are real, measurable flavors in some wines, usually wines made from vineyards near the ocean or irrigated with water containing significant amounts sodium chloride and related salts. Salt is a mineral. It appears in the wine because when dissolved in water it can be absorbed by the plant roots and leaves and found on the surface of grape skins and stems. Assyrtiko wine from the Greek island of Santorini is the poster child because of the salt captured by vines trained in the basket-shaped koulara system to acquire water from salty Aegean Sea fogs.Assyrtiko vines on Greek island of SantoriniWine vines cannot extract mineral tastes from rocks in the soil. They can, however, acquire salt minerals that exist in water. The key distinction: general “minerality” taste references lack scientific support. Salt absorption and its impact on taste are scientifically measurable. The mineral taste did not come from rocks, but from salt dissolved in water.The second minerality trigger for me is the smell of wet rock or wet concrete after a rain—a smell scientists call “petrichor”—an earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil or rocks. Chablis is most famous “wet stone” wine. The reference is to a smell, not the taste of a rock in my mouth.My third minerality trigger, and I admit to squishiness on this—and to a resolve to restrain use—comes from high acidity, a linear, mouth-watering feel. Also when there is no malolactic conversion and low fruitiness or oak influence (in science terms, when fruit esters and terpenes are subdued).Supporters of the “minerality” term argue it is a useful, if vague, sensory category. It is a shorthand for a style—acidic, lean, unsweetened by oak or overt fruit. Supporters admit “minerality” has nothing to do with actual minerals extracted from rocks, then point out that people heavily involved in wine—winegrowers, winemakers, wine experts—perceive something. Wine writer Terry Theise described minerality as “an unnamable thing that is definitely there but hasn't yielded to explanation.”Critics argue that “minerality” is romantic nonsense lazy wine writers use to fill out the required word count for their comment. It is a substitute for more specific descriptions. Scientists emphatically assert that whatever you think minerality is, it is not you tasting minerals extracted from rocks where the vines grew.Bottom line: “minerality” is a subjective metaphor. Most wine descriptors are subjective metaphors. It is not easy to use words to describe an individual perception of taste, smell, texture. It can, however, be fun to take one side or the other and argue through the evening over a charcuterie board and bottles of quality wine.• Masculine-feminine. Finally, a wine descriptor I avoid and one I can trash. The cliché is “masculine wines” are bold, powerful, tannic, structured, full-bodies, assertive, robust. “Masculine wines” resemble the manly men who drink them. Think cab, barolo, syrah. “Feminine wines” are light, soft, delicate, elegant, silky, supple. Think rosé, pinot noir, pinot grigio. Tannin structure is the usual dividing line, followed by body or weight in the mouth and assertive flavors.Well, screw that. The terms are sexist, problematic, and outdated. Wine is not black or white, male or female, it is endless shades of gray and a rainbow of colors. The masculine-feminine meaning as a wine descriptor relies on tired and grossly inaccurate gender stereotypes.Guys, in the third decade of the 21st century, this is a stupid fight to pick. You run a risk that if you pick this masculine-feminine fight, the woman who is offended could whip your ass. Just sayin'.Tasting notes• Franciscan Estate Chardonnay, California 2022: Clean, vivacious, delicious chardonnay unencumbered by oak or malolactic conversion. Slight sweetness—hugs border between dry and off-dry. Fruit forward with emphasis on freshness rather than complexity. $13-15 Link to my review• Maison Sinnae Chusclan Elements Sol, Côtes du Rhône Villages 2021: Fresh, balanced, vibrant with core of red fruits. Well behaved tannins and balancing acidity make this a fun, easy drinking, uncomplicated, straightforward pleasure. Excellent QPR. $17 Link to my review• Gigondas La Cave Vacqueyras Beaumirail 2022: Elegant with generous, delicious, seductive layers of fruit, especially after some air exposure. Faithful presentation of Gigondas GSM style and terroir. $22-26 Link to my review• Wente Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Livermore Valley, Wetmore Vineyard 2021: Superb, especially attractive QPR pour; drinks like cabs premium Napa-Sonoma cabs. Dark fruit flavors predominate. Decanting reveals structure, depth, length, ameliorates significant tannins. Widely available. $24-35 Link to my reviewLast roundJudging by the price, this wine pairs best with a Swiss bank account where you hide your money or a trust fund your rich grandfather set up for you with money from a Swiss bank account where he hid his money.

Thinking about booking a luxury cruise? Discover what it's like to sail aboard Regent Seven Seas Grandeur — one of the most all-inclusive and elegant ships at sea. In this episode of RTE-Travel Talk, Ken sits down with Cruise & Travel Expert Barb Chamberlain of Direct Travel to review her recent voyage aboard the Regent Seven Seas Grandeur, one of the newest ships in the Regent Seven Seas Cruises fleet. From opulent all-suite accommodations and exquisite dining to immersive and well-organized shore excursions, Barb shares her firsthand experience sailing through the eastern Mediterranean on the “Travel Through Time” itinerary — visiting incredible destinations like Istanbul, Santorini, Mykonos, Kusadasi, Montenegro, and Venice. Discover why Regent Seven Seas is considered one of the top all-inclusive cruise lines, with virtually everything included in your fare — from gratuities and beverages to a wide array of included shore excursions. Barb explains why this level of service and inclusivity not only makes for a stress-free vacation, but may also be more cost-effective than many assume when compared to premium lines with lots of add-ons. In this in-depth conversation, you'll get insider cruise tips on choosing the right Regent itinerary, when and how to book excursions, what to expect onboard the SS Grandeur, and what makes a luxury cruise experience with Regent feel relaxed, welcoming, and never stuffy. Barb also shares her favorite moments onboard, including dining tips (don't miss Prime 7's best seats!) and an emotional highlight at Veranda's panoramic breakfast tables. If you're considering your first luxury cruise or are curious about stepping up from a premium cruise line, this is the video for you. From small ship cruising to personalized service, Regent Seven Seas Cruises might just be your next unforgettable travel adventure.

Denzel Washington's controversial appearance on ESPN's First Take, where he spent five minutes criticizing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for the team's 30-year Super Bowl drought, arguing that Jones prioritizes profits over winning. The hosts debate whether Washington's outspoken comments about a wealthy white businessman could potentially harm his career, though they acknowledge everything he said was accurate. The show also covers Nick Cannon's stance against the term "co-parenting," with the father of 12 children arguing that such labels are unnecessary and potentially harmful since parents are simply parents regardless of their relationship status. The hosts disagree with Cannon's perspective, maintaining that co-parenting is an accurate description of shared parenting responsibilities. Regular segments include Gary B's "Color of the Day" featuring Santorini and beautiful black, listener wake-up calls from various cities, and Jeff Johnson's political commentary covering federal intervention in Washington D.C., Democratic governors pushing back against Republican redistricting efforts, and the escalating political tensions nationwide.

The Psychology of Wanderlust: Why are We Always Dreaming of Somewhere Else?

If you've ever caught yourself staring out a window, daydreaming of cobblestone streets in Paris, sunrises over Bali rice fields, or the quiet serenity of a mountain trail, you're not alone. Wanderlust—the irresistible urge to travel—is more than a trendy hashtag or a clever slogan on a hoodie. It's a deeply rooted part of human psychology.A Journey into the Mind of the TravelerAt 1923 Main Street, we live for that pull toward the horizon. But what is wanderlust, really? Why are some of us always dreaming of elsewhere?Let's take a journey into the mind.Born to Roam: The Science of WanderlustWanderlust isn't just a personality quirk—it's something researchers have studied and even tried to measure. There's a term for the personality trait most associated with travel: “high openness to experience.” Psychologists define this as one of the Big Five personality traits, and it's a strong predictor of someone's love for novelty, adventure and yes—travel.Studies have shown that people who score high in openness tend to:Be more curious and imaginativeSeek out variety and new experiencesBe more tolerant of uncertainty and ambiguityIt's not just about loving travel—it's about thriving on the unknown.There's also a genetic component. A study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior suggested a connection between the DRD4-7R gene and a tendency to love exploring. People with this “wanderlust gene” tend to be more risk-taking and exploratory. Not everyone has it, but those who do are statistically more likely to crave far-off places.The Eternal Elsewhere: Is Wanderlust Good or Bad?Like anything, wanderlust has its pros and cons.On the plus side:Travel lovers tend to be more adaptable and resilient.Exploring new cultures fosters empathy and creativity.Experiences (like travel) are known to bring longer-lasting happiness than possessions.But a constant yearning to be somewhere else can also have its downside. If you're always focused on “the next place,” it can be hard to appreciate the present. Psychologists refer to this as destination addiction—the idea that happiness is always “somewhere else,” just out of reach.The trick? Embrace the adventure, but don't lose sight of the beauty in everyday life. (That's part of why we design our graphic tees and hoodies the way we do—to bring a little bit of your favorite places with you wherever you are—including enjoying those memories at home.)The Social Media Effect: Inspiration or Illusion?We all know that the digital age has turbocharged our wanderlust. Your scrolling fingers barely have time to rest before you're seeing someone's photo of Santorini sunsets or Patagonia peaks.But beware, because social media can play a little game of angel/devil:Angel:It fuels inspiration and discovery—introducing places you might never have dreamed of.It creates a global community of like-minded adventurers.Devil:It can create unrealistic expectations (hello, curated perfection).It may lead to comparison fatigue, making us feel like we're missing out.Research from the University of Pennsylvania showed that limiting social media use to 30 minutes per day can reduce feelings of loneliness and FOMO—especially relevant when every scroll seems to showcase another person's passport stamp or sunrise mountain top photo from a faraway land.The key? Let social media inspire your dreams, but not dictate your worth.Are You Wired for Wanderlust?Wondering if you're part of the wanderlust tribe? Ask yourself:Do I get excited by planning trips—even ones I might never take?Do I sometimes feel more “me” when I'm out of my comfort zone?Am I more drawn to experiences than stuff?Do I keep a mental list (or an actual map) of dream destinations?Have I ever picked a hoodie or tee just because it reminds me of a place I love?If you nodded yes to most of those, chances are—wanderlust runs through your veins.Final Boarding CallWanderlust isn't something to be cured—it's something to be celebrated. The desire to travel pushes us to explore, connect and dream. Whether you're planning your next trip or reminiscing about your last, 1923 Main Street is here to keep that adventurous spark alive. Our travel-inspired apparel lets you wear your passion for the world—wherever you are, wherever you're going next.So go ahead—dream big, roam far, and bring a piece of the journey with you.Shop at 1923 Main Street, the Spirit Brand for Those Who Love to TravelThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

verborgen locatie dichtbij de baai.En: The journal pointed to a hidden location near the bay.Nl: Net op tijd, voor de eerste regendruppels vielen, verlieten ze het dorp en renden terug naar de inham.En: Just in time, before the first raindrops fell, they left the village and raced back to the cove.Nl: Terwijl de golven heftig tegen de rotsen sloegen, zagen Jens en Daan hoe een verborgen doorgang werd onthuld.En: As the waves crashed violently against the rocks, Jens and Daan saw a hidden passage revealed.Nl: Het was alsof de storm zelf de geheimen van het verleden prijs wilde geven.En: It was as if the storm itself wanted to reveal the secrets of the past.Nl: Ze glipten naar binnen en ontdekten een oude ruimte, vol met inscripties en tekeningen die een verloren mythologie deden herleven.En: They slipped inside and discovered an ancient chamber, full of inscriptions and drawings that revived a lost mythology.Nl: Toen de storm ging liggen, stonden ze stil en keken rond.En: As the storm subsided, they stood still and looked around.Nl: Jens voelde een nieuwe opwinding voor avontuur en mysteries, terwijl Daan waardeerde dat een beetje voorbereiding en onderzoek ook waardevol kon zijn.En: Jens felt a newfound excitement for adventure and mysteries, while Daan appreciated that a bit of preparation and research could also be valuable.Nl: Met het mysterie in hun handen en een nieuw avontuur in hun hart, verlieten Jens en Daan de baai, kijkend naar de horizon die vol mogelijkheden lag.En: With the mystery in their hands and a new adventure in their hearts,

Hear about travel to the Peloponnese Peninsula in Greece as the Amateur Traveler talks to travel writer Sally Jane Smith about a great alternative to visiting the Greek Islands. Sally Jane says, “The thing is that most visitors go to Greece. They go to Athens, and then they tend to go straight to the islands. And Greece has hundreds of islands. The ones that most visitors go to are the resort-style islands of Santorini and Mykonos. Don't get me wrong, these are incredible places, but they tend to be crowded and they tend to be expensive. Whereas if you go to the Peloponnese and the Saronic Islands, which are just off the coast of the Peloponnese, you get that perfect balance. There are enough travelers visiting the area that they have all the facilities that you might need, but it also feels like you're exploring the real Greece rather than having a resort holiday. And it's gorgeous. There are striking landscapes. There are incredibly strong connections to history and to legend. There are five world heritage sites just on the Peloponnese Peninsula itself.” After starting in Athens which we covered in Athens Greece – Episode 832, we head down to the Peloponnese past the amazing Corinth Canal to the rocky island of Monemvasia. Monemvasia was founded in the sixth century and is a fortified city that has been nicknamed “the Gibraltar of the East”. It is a pedestrian-only town. You can hike the many many steps up the rock to the ruins of the old fortress with a great view of the old town. Bring your walking shoes for this and many of our other stops. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-the-peloponnese-greece/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As our fourth season draws to a close, we've got an apocalyptic, 2-part ending lined up. That's right, we're talking Armageddon, and we don't mean the 1998 Bruce Willis blockbuster. And of course, if we're going to delve into the end of everything, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu are going to need the help of our ever popular archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the failed Soviet-era Kosmos 482 lander that was designed to withstand entry into the Venus atmosphere but never actually let Earth orbit and finally just came crashing back home on May 10, just a few days after we recorded this episode! Chuck, Allen and Hannah ponder the possibilities of cataclysmic destruction that the more than half-ton object could produce. Then, without missing a beat, Hannah takes us all the way back to Greek mythology and the Titanomachy, the legendary fights between the Gods and the Titans that were possibly inspired by catastrophic volcanic eruptions that laid waste to the ancient Mediterranean. Chuck jumps continents to discuss the Norse apocalypse known as Ragnarök – casually dropping that is inspired the massively popular Baldur's Gate 3 as he does. Not to be outdone, Hannah brings us all back to the original Armageddon itself: the final battle between good and evil that is foretold in the Book of Revelations to take place at Har Megiddo, the “Hill of Megiddo” in Hebrew. You'll also hear about where the word apocalypse comes from, and why it's become associated with the end of the world, as Hannah gives us all a quick lesson in eschatology, or the study of the end of the world. Our first question comes from Ahmed, who asks, “What are the odds that a killer asteroid will kill us all?” Allen gets a little excited about asteroid 2024 YR4, an asteroid the size of a 15-story building, that is predicted to pass safely by Earth in 2032 but at one point had as high a chance of hitting us as 4-5% – and still has about a 3% chance of hitting the Moon. Chuck explains that the odds of a true “dinosaur-killer” extinction event asteroid impact from an object at least a mile across is about 50 million to 1 in any given year. Hannah points out that it's far more likely that Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that inundated Pompeii, will erupt again. The last one was in 79AD, and since it tends to blow its top every 2,000 years or so, we're due. Moving back further, Hannah tells us about the Minoan Eruption that devastated the isle of Santorini in the Mediterranean, wiping out the city of Akrotiri, around 1600 BCE and was reported as far away as China. And that's just a few of the disastrous historic collapses Hannah shares with us, including the Hekla 3 eruption in Iceland that had may have had something to do with the Bronze Age Collapse. It turns out that the apocalypse is too big for a single episode! Join us in two weeks for Part 2 of our journey into all things apocalyptic.

Now, this is a Viking-themed strategy game where players lead their clan to victory by gathering resources, capturing buildings, and expanding their empire. Just picking and placing a tile will not get you a victory, you have some decisions to make that will have you balancing risk and reward. Cretaceous Rails is not a doomed theme park like so many built with dinosaurs as the main attractions. This medium-weight euro game combines economic strategy with thematic elements, allowing players to take tourists on safari and construct a thriving dino resort where every piece in the game is a resource to be used. With careful planning and resource management, you should out-maneuver the other park operators and come away with a victory and not be eaten by the T-rex. Santorini is a beautifully designed abstract strategy game that brings Greek mythology to life and Roxley has taken the new Pantheon Edition up to new hieghts with the components. Gameplay hasn't changed, players take on the role of gods and heroes, competing to build a majestic island of Santorini without getting trapped by the competition. And now with the coop version added to the mix, Riddle of the Sphinx, this should dust of those old copies and get the game back to the table.
