More Polish pyramids discovered with lasers scans

More Polish pyramids discovered with lasersOver a dozen new megalithic structures have been discovered by archaeologists, this structures are so-called Kujawy tombs, but because of their elongated triangle shape are common know as the “Polish pyramids”.

Different from the well know Egiptanense, Central Americans and Asians similar structures, this Polish pyramids discovered by Department of Archaeology, University of Szczecin, has only 9 foot (3 meter) height, with width of the base ranged from 18′ (6 meters) to 45′ (15 meters) and a length reaching to 450′ or 150 meters and surrounded by huge stone blocks.

More Polish pyramids discovered with lasers 01This megalithic monuments are close to structures as British Stonehenge, Denmark’s Troldkirken, France’s “Roland’s Tomb” and Germany’s Dohnsen-Siddernhausen Dolmen, among other, having escaped destruction by beeing far from large population, “hidden” in forests areas

Believe to be from the from the 5 thousand to 3 thousand BC this ground structures were, in majority, single burials, tombs associated with the elders of the tribe and clan.

“For our analyses we used the project ISOK (National Protection Computer System against extraordinary threats)” – explained Dr. Agnieszka Matuszewska. – “Thanks to the database we have created and systematically update, it was possible to select places for testing that method” – she added.

Analyses were made possible by the fact that one of the elements ISOK is the Geographic Information System (GIS) for entering, storing, processing and visualization of geographic data.

Polish PyramidsDiscoveries were made using Digital Terrain Models (DTM), three-dimensional mapping of the area prepared on the basis of Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS).

The most famous “Polish pyramids” can be seen in Sarnów and Wietrzychowice, where their former shape has been reconstructed following archaeological research.

A foto simulation at the right shows how the ancient Europeans build their Polish Pyramids.

Why Volcanic Eruptions Can Spark Lightning

Published

It’s the ultimate love-at-first-sight story: In the middle of the desert, hundreds of miles from anything else, lonely sand grains meet up in a crowd and decide to electrify each other. Sparks fly.

Physicists have long puzzled over why sand grains and other small particles can build up electrical charges as they collide with one another, sometimes to the point of discharging lightning in dust storms or plumes of volcanic ash.

Now, a paper in an upcoming issue of Nature Physics suggests that particles transfer electrical charge vertically during a smashup, such that positive charges move downward and negative charges move up in the cloud.

The findings could help combat a wide variety of practical problems, such as the adhesion of charged dust to solar panels on a Mars rover or the generation of dangerous electrical discharges that sometimes occur when a helicopter takes off in the desert.

Dust clouds can create problems in grain silos, where charge sometimes builds up and leads to explosions, and in the pharmaceutical industry, where particles of ground-up drugs can become charged and not mix properly, says Hans Herrmann, a materials researcher at ETH Zurich.

Some challenges remain, such as explaining where the background electric field that charges the particles came from. But Herrmann says the work is philosophically satisfying, in answering a long-held question, and may yet have practical applications.
