Dead Sea Scrolls preserve different biblical wording

The Dead Sea Scrolls include Hebrew biblical manuscripts from the last centuries BCE. They mostly agree with later Masoretic texts, but some passages differ, showing that the wording of biblical texts had not yet become completely fixed.

The earliest known ceramics were figures, not dishes

People made the figures by firing clay and silica at least 26,000 years ago. Regular pottery did not become common until roughly 10,000 years later.

Some actions take longer in dreams than while awake

30–50% longer

In studies of lucid dreamers, counting seconds took about as long in a dream as while awake. But walking or doing squats in a dream took about 30–50% longer. Dream time therefore does not simply run at one faster or slower speed.
