Who founded the world's first library?

In the 1846th century, a young London lawyer, Austin Henry Layard, decided to visit Persia and Iraq to find traces of the mysterious, fabulous Nineveh, the capital of the ancient Assyrian kingdom. In XNUMX, he discovered powerful city walls, ruined houses and the remains of the royal palace. It looked like the enemies had captured the city after a fierce resistance, destroyed all the inhabitants without exception, and set fire to the looted houses and the palace. However, the fire did not destroy everything. Layard found many examples of ancient art, but the main treasure was the library.

This ancient library was founded by one of the most educated people of his time, the powerful king Ashurbanipal (668-626 BC). More than 30 thousand clay cuneiform tablets turned out to be in his "book depository"! In order to find the most important documents and literary works, which were already considered cultural monuments at that time, the tsar sent out a whole army of copyist scribes in search of clay "books".

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>
