THE MUMMY OF THEM ALL!

The Pyramids and the Sphinx have attracted mathematicians, philosophers, theorists in large numbers, but that’s nothing to keep out our film fraternity. Stephen Sommers’ The Mummy and its sequel could necessarily not have done with a lesser locale but even Karan Johar could not resist cashing in on their inviting intrigue for a lilting number in his Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. The mystery of these magnificent structures, stemming from their great antiquity, complexity of construction, enormous size and physical grandeur, elicit awe like no other man-made edifice. Hosting the three great pyramids of khufu, khafra and menkaura along with the Sphinx, the Giza plateau simply leaves you spell-bound. Ain’t that enough to make history...?!

3... 2..1. FIRE!!!

COMING SOON, WAR FOR OCEANS...
The wars that have marked human history have had the signature of contests for scarce resources. And as resources deplete in the land, new frontiers are being opened for geo-political contests. The most likely happens to be the vast oceans that remain virtually entirely unconquered. It has been estimated that oceans have tremendous sources of energy and metallic remains within them that lie scattered on the abyssal plains. The poly metallic nodules within these oceans contain rich metallic remains of manganese, nickel, copper, iron and cobalt within them; some credible estimates put these to be around a smashing 500 billion tonnes. Not surprisingly, spread in almost all the oceans of the world, these metallic remains are most likely to be the sources of serious confrontations and contests (even wars) as technology develops for extracting them.
