Okay, it’s Pop quiz time! Which country has the longest fence in the world? How about the 2nd largest Greek population? Three times more sheep than people? One word will give it away: kangaroos. Yes, it's the Land Down Under. So, what do you know about Australia? Australia is the world's 6th largest country and the only one that’s also a whole continent. But with all that territory, over 80% of Australians live within 60 miles of the coast. Before humans arrived, the continent was home to mega-fauna. If you’d lived there about 46,000 years ago, you’d be dead today. But you would’ve seen 10-foot-tall kangaroos, 23-foot-long goanna lizards, and ducks the size of an adult horse.

More 50 Facts About Australia That Break All the Stereotypes Videos

Marylin Monroe apparently knew what she was singing about. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Well, not all diamonds are friends. That’s where the Orlov diamond comes in – notorious for ruining his owners’ lives and… Yes, it is black! And, its past and origin are as dark as its color. Legend has it that the Orlov diamond is “The Eye of Brahma” – a 195-carat gemstone that was inlaid in a Hindu statue near Pondicherry, India. In 1747, it was stolen under mysterious circumstances. Several hours before its disappearance, a monk was seen in the shrine who was later believed to be a thief. Other videos you might like:

– Neither the monk nor other possible thieves were ever found, and any trace of the diamond was lost for many years. Much later, in the 18th century, it popped up in Great Britain. – Princess Orlova’s story is a bit of a mystery. For a long time she was believed to be a fictional character. Historians couldn’t find any references to her biography.
– There are records of two more Russian princesses who owned the black diamond and shared the same terrible fate: Leonila Galitsine-Bariatinsky and Maria Leshchinskaya.
– In 1932 the Black Orlov was bought from an unknown source by J.W Paris – a well-known New York gem dealer. – The next owner, Charles S. Winston, was shaken by Paris’s tragic demise and tried to break the diamond’s alleged curse by cutting it. He asked an Austrian jeweler to cut the diamond into 3 pieces.
– The present owner of the infamous stone, a diamond dealer from Pennsylvania named Dennis Petimezas, bought it in 2006. – Petimezas had never seriously believed in the diamond's dark powers. He studied its history and found that there weren’t any troubles linked to it for about half a century.
– The Black Orlov is now part of a 108-diamond brooch suspended from a 124-diamond necklace and is sometimes on display at international gemstone exhibitions.
– It takes that long for diamonds to form at a depth of about a hundred miles (160 km). Imagine very high temperatures (1,652 – 2,370°F (900 – 1,300°С)) and extremely high pressure existing for millions of years deep inside the Earth’s mantle. – While pure diamonds are big solid crystals, carbonados have a polycrystal structure. They’re made of many tiny crystals linked with each other. – Black diamonds come from only 3 places and no other pure or colored diamonds are found there: The Central African Republic, Brazil and The Kozelski Volcano in Kamchatka, Russia.
– Carbonados have graphite and hematite in their crystals. These substances absorb light, while pure diamonds let it through. It's believed that the black hue also appeared due to radiation. – The quality of the gemstone depends on the initial substance and the jeweler’s skills. The cheapest carbonados are produced in India. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More Everyone Who Had the Mysterious Orlov Black Diamond Regretted It Videos

Since ancient times, astronomers have been fascinated with the Moon. Today, modern technology allows scientists to explore the lunar surface from afar. And some of their findings are outright baffling. Like, what is that huge and mysterious metal mass that’s just been discovered in one of the Moon's craters? Imagine a gigantic chunk of metal almost the size of West Virginia. As for its weight in pounds, this number has a string of 17 zeros behind it. So far, scientists have been struggling to explain where this huge lump of unidentified material came from or what it really is. But let's start from the beginning… Other videos you might like:

– The Moon isn't a perfect sphere 8:22
– The Moon isn't Earth's satellite?! 8:56 #moon #mystery #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– On the far side of the Moon, you’ll find one of the largest and oldest impact craters in our Solar System: the South Pole-Aitken basin. – Astronomers are sure that this crater appeared when an asteroid collided with the Moon around 4 billion years ago. – In one place on the Moon's surface astronomers saw a weird change in gravity. – So far, researchers haven't yet figured out the origin of the bizarre lump, but there are several theories.
– Most scientists support the theory that the puzzling mass is a part of the monstrosity that once created the very South Pole-Aitken basin itself! – In any case, the Moon is good at keeping its secrets, and researchers still haven't come to any final conclusion.
– One phenomenon has been perplexing astronomers for decades (since the 1950s, to be precise), and that's random flashes of light coming from the surface of the Moon. – Sometimes astronomers observe them several times a week, and at other times, the flashes might disappear for months. – It turns out that lunar dust is dangerous for people. Its particles are incredibly sharp, and when breathed in, they can damage the brain and lungs beyond repair! – There might be a labyrinth of lava tunnels on the Moon. Astronomers have discovered a massive cave under the lunar surface thanks to some topography data they recently got back. – The Moon is abandoning us! Every year, its orbit moves about an inch and a half away from our planet. – Despite all appearances, the Moon isn't a perfect sphere. It might look like that when you glance at it hanging up there in the night sky. But, in fact, the Moon is shaped like an egg!
– And finally, how about this: some scientists don't even agree that the Moon is Earth's satellite! – Being around one-fourth the size of our planet, the crater-pocked thing is just too big to be our moon. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

Wall Push-Ups 5:49
Some other recommendations 7:02 #perfectbody #homeworkout #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– Squats target pretty much every muscle in your legs, from your calves to your thighs. It also hits your glutes and lower back muscles.
– Although side plank with leg lifted may seem a bit hard at first, it's super effective for training your abs, glutes, obliques, and outer thigh muscles.
– V-Ups strengthen and define your lower and upper abs, improve your balance and core stability, and train your lower back muscles. – Donkey kicks target some of the same muscle groups as reverse leg raises: your glutes, hamstrings, thighs, and lower back, as well as your core and arm muscles. – First and foremost, exercise in the morning. By the evening, most people are usually too tired after a long work or school day to make an effort to work out or even just move around! – If you’re new to the whole exercising thing (or it’s been a while!), start with fewer reps and slightly increase the intensity of your workout each new day.
– Always keep your gym bag at your side, like in your office or car. Who knows when you might have an opportunity for a quick workout! – Keep building on your routine, and try to include some cardio. That mobile gym bag really comes in handy when you wanna go for a jog after work.
– If you can’t seem to find time to dedicate to a full-on workout, include some fitness in your day-to-day, For example, make it a rule to do 10 push-ups before you check your social media or eat a snack. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

More 8 Simple Exercises to Get the Perfect Slim Body in 30 Days Videos

Croesus, the king of Lydia, who reigned for 14 years in the 6th century BCE, was legendary for his wealth. You might wonder what the man did to protect his treasures. Well, rumor has it that he used to put curses on his most valuable belongings, including the infamous King Croesus's golden brooch, one of the most precious items in his jewelry collection. For hundreds of years, the treasure of King Croesus lay underground, lost but not forgotten. But one day in 1965, several men came across the ancient burial mound of a Lydian princess. The men didn't excavate all the treasure at once. They returned once again in 1968 but didn't find anything but wall paintings. Among the artifacts they’d stolen, there was a beautiful golden brooch in the shape of a winged seahorse… Other videos you might like:

Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– In no time, the men realized that the fabled curse that’d been put on the treasures and, in particular, the brooch, 2,500 years ago, was far more than just a superstition. – The thieves got caught by the police after one of their own betrayed his accomplices, unhappy with the way they’d divided the treasure. – But being arrested wasn't the only punishment the thieves had to live through for their crimes. One of the thieves lost his three sons under different tragic circumstances.
– In the 1970s, it was alleged that more than 200 items from King Croesus's treasure had been bought by the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art around 1968. – After a 6-year legal battle that was rumored to cost Turkey more than $30 million, the museum admitted that while purchasing the artifacts, they’d known that they’d been stolen.
– In 2006, 13 years after the artifacts had been relocated, it turned out that the famous golden seahorse brooch, which was on display in Turkey's Uşak Museum, was a fake!
– During the investigation, the museum's director admitted that he’d sold the real brooch, as well as some other artifacts, to cover his gambling debts. – If you ever see the 67.5 carat (13 gr – 0.5 oz) Black Orlov Diamond, don't touch it without a pair of gloves on, or at all (better safe than sorry, you know). That thing is as dangerous as it is gorgeous. – The name of the 105-carat (21 g – 0.7 oz) Koh-i-Noor Diamond means "the mountain of light."
– Every single man who wore the diamond lost his throne.
– Colonel W. Ferris did bring the Delhi Purple Sapphire to England, and while he had possession of the gem, his family suffered from countless health and financial problems. – The Star of India is the largest known blue sapphire in the world. People talked about curses and spells that protected the sapphire. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

Ever dreamed about living in a palace? Like Buckingham Palace, for example? Well, it’s a nice place, so why not? This ostentatious home is pretty old and huge, but the location is close to schools and shopping! And besides that, it’s got a lot of interesting secrets.

More 20 Secrets You Probably Didn’t Know About Buckingham Palace Videos

If you head to Luzon Island in the Philippines, you’ll find Callao Cave hidden in the jungle. "What's so special about an old cave?" you may ask. Well, this is exactly where archeologists discovered a previously unknown ancient species related to us humans! This human-like species was dubbed Homo luzonensis in honor of the island it was discovered on. Adults were probably quite short, about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall. The scientists assumed that this species led a mixed lifestyle, what with their ability to both climb trees and walk on two legs. However, the finding seems to raise more questions than it answers… Other videos you might like:

– Luzon Island was one of those seemingly inaccessible places because it also didn’t have any land bridge connecting it to the mainland. – In 2003, Dr. Armand Mijares, a local archeologist from the University of the Philippines, started excavations in Callao Cave together with his team. – As they were going about their research, the team found evidence of human activity in that region, including some tools and pottery which were dated to be about 25,000 years old. – In 2004, another group of archeologists discovered Homo floresiensis, a tiny human species that was later nicknamed "the hobbit."
– Even though it was a cool discovery on its own, it also inspired Dr. Mijares to return to Callao Cave. He got back on track in 2007 with a firm decision to dig deeper. – But it wasn't until 2010 that Mijares and his team finally made their revolutionary discovery. In their search, the scientists stumbled across a 67,000-year-old human fossil! – The teeth were tiny with a simple shape, making them similar to the teeth of modern humans. But what makes them even more unique is that one of the upper premolars found had 3 roots, a feature found in less than 3% of people today. – Scientists assumed that this species led a mixed lifestyle, what with their ability to both climb trees and walk on two legs. They could’ve walked in a peculiar way, but researchers haven’t determined that yet.
– There have been attempts to extract DNA from the discovered remains, but so far, they haven’t gotten any results. – It seems humans that lived on Luzon Island used tools to hunt and prepare food! – But that's not all! In 2018, Dr. Mijares announced that chances are Homo luzonensis lived on the island much further back in time. The archeologists found some stone tools. And these findings are a whopping 700,000 years old! Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-
