Two divers exploring the Peace River, near Sarasota, Florida, came upon an amazing discovery. They found a 50 lb. femur bone of a Columbian mammoth. The 4 ft. long bone is thought to date back about 100,000 years. The Columbian mammoth could reach heights of 13 ft. and top the scales at a whopping 10 tons. It was one of the largest of the mammoths that lived in the Western Hemisphere. Additionally, the divers found a tooth from a saber-tooth tiger and remnants of an extinct shark.

A most unusual "bookmobile" has come to villages in the country of Pakistan. Roshan, the camel(name means "bright light" ), brings library books to kids in remote villages in Pakistan. With the pandemic closing schools, a program was established to have Roshan, a 12 year old camel(and his herder), bring books to the children to keep up on their reading skills. The "Camel Library" operates in a village for 2 hours. Kids exchange books with Roshan's following visit. Every week, the camel travels the rough terrain, roads too narrow for vehicles to six villages. Started as a pilot program, Roshan and the books he carries has been extended. A principal and her sister came up with the idea. A book society(Alif Laila Book Bus Society) has donated the books. In just 6 weeks, more than 150 children have benefited from the program.

A farmer lifted a large rock on his property and discovered an ancient tomb. Found on the Dingle Peninsula, of Ireland, archaeologists think the tomb dates back to the Bronze Age. Removing the rock uncovered a stone-lined passageway. It is thought to date back 2000 BC to 500 BC. The tomb might even be older than this estimate. Human remains were found in the tomb, too.

Another discovery was recently made in Lucerne, Switzerland. Remains of a Bronze Age village, with remains of about 30 wooden stilts, used for houses, was found while a pipeline was being placed in the harbor area. Additionally, pottery was also found. Archaeologists say the village shows that people were living in the area 2000 years earlier than they had thought.
