Whether this is due to the rather protected, insular tradition that was practiced up until 1853 when US Naval Commodore Mathew Perry led the first official diplomatic mission into Japanese waters, the idea that the history of ancient Japan has to be blanketed, one hopes, should start to fade and allow more independent research to investigate the wonderful cultures that flourished across the islands thousands of years ago.
Maybe due to the vast amounts of sheer labor and frantic funding that went into the systematic industrialization and total reconstruction following the 1940s and 50s - an effort which clearly bore fruit (as of March 2020, Japan retains the third strongest economy in the world [Silver, March 2020]) - there seems not to be much room for study and deeper understanding of these brilliant monuments that lay scattered throughout the land.
Speaking to people from across Japan, one gets a sad sense that the Japanese government does not care much about these monuments. Fortunately, many of these misunderstood megaliths are protected to this day by their adoption as sacred sites by the numerous ancient religions practiced to this day - Buddhism, Shintoism and Taoism, to name a few.

* "Discovery of Ancient Chinese City Rewrites History" (2020-05-18, ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/ancient-chinese-city-0013728) [archive.is/UFNP4] [begin excerpt]: The Zhengzhou municipal institute of cultural relics and archaeology announced the discovery of the city. Archaeologists unearthed it at the Shuanghuaishu site, which is in, Gongyi, just outside Zhengzhou in Henan. It is in the historic areas known as Zhongyuan or the Central Plains an area, which is traditionally regarded as important in the development of civilization. The site is massive and covers an area over 3 million square feet (279000 sq meters) and is on the south bank of the Yellow River . The Archaeology News Network reports that, ‘The ruins are one of the largest tribal clusters of the middle and late phases of Yangshao Culture, emerging around 7,000 years ago during the Neolithic Age’.
It appears that the settlement was ringed by three deep trenches forming a complex defensive system for the prehistoric urban center. It had a central residential area and there is even evidence of urban planning. Also uncovered was a rudimentary sanitation system, storehouses, even a road system. This city displays many characteristics of civilized urban living, at a much earlier date than widely believed. Moreover, many of the finds suggest that distinctive elements of Chinese culture and society developed much earlier than once believed.

The earliest attestation of the Japanese language is in a Chinese document from 252 AD. The Japanese language has no genetic relationship with Chinese. It belongs to a completely different language family called Japonic languages. However, it makes extensive use of Chinese characters, or kanji (漢字), in its writings. [end excerpt]

* "Chinese researchers design lightweight liquid metal" (2020-05-06, xinhuanet.com/english/2020-05/06/c_139034958.htm) [archive.is/jIki2]:
Chinese researchers have invented a kind of lightweight liquid metal that can be used for manufacturing functional devices in diverse areas.
Liquid metals are of great importance in developing wearable devices and soft robotics owing to their high conductivity and flexibility. However, the heavy density of such metals may limit their applications in many areas.
Researchers from Tsinghua University designed a kind of lightweight liquid metal with composite materials. The lightweight liquid metal composite has only half the density of water, making it able to float on water. It retains good electric conductivity, high ductility and stiffness variability.
Researchers also designed a series of application scenarios with this material, such as electric circuits and underwater robots.
The lightweight liquid metal can be applied in many fields including 3D printing, underwater electronic devices, exoskeleton systems and soft robotics, according to the research team.
The research was published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.

Theory and observation for the search for life on exoplanets via atmospheric ‘biosignature gases’ is accelerating, motivated by the capabilities of the next generation of space- and ground-based telescopes. The most observationally accessible rocky planet atmospheres are those dominated by molecular hydrogen gas, because the low density of H2 gas leads to an expansive atmosphere. The capability of life to withstand such exotic environments, however, has not been tested in this context. We demonstrate that single-celled microorganisms (Escherichia coli and yeast) that normally do not inhabit H2-dominated environments can survive and grow in a 100% H2 atmosphere. We also describe the astonishing diversity of dozens of different gases produced by E. coli, including many already proposed as potential biosignature gases (for example, nitrous oxide, ammonia, methanethiol, dimethylsulfide, carbonyl sulfide and isoprene). This work demonstrates the utility of laboratory experiments to better identify which kinds of alien environments can host some form of possibly detectable life.

Academic historians generally do not admit the presence of European visitors to South America until after the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Therefore for them, all talk of Vikings travelling anywhere south of Nova Scotia before 1492 AD is not even hypothetical but pure fiction. In order to maintain this pretense, historians have found it necessary to discard what might be to others common sense and replace it with a preposterous theory. The best example of this is: The Case of the Bundsö Sheepdogs.
It was the custom of the pre-conquest Incas to be mummified with their dogs. A variety of dogs found in graves at Ancon, Chile, by Professor Nehring in 1885 was analyzed by two French zoologists in the 1950s who determined that this variety could not be descended from the wild dogs of South America. They matched them to Canis familiaris L.patustris Rut  of which numerous skeletal remains have been discovered, all at Bundsö on the Danish island of Als/Jutland.
The anatomical coincidence being deemed perfect, the difficulty then lay in accounting for how these Danish dogs got to South America before the Spanish Conquest . The French scientists got their heads together and decided that: "the Danish Vikings must have given some of their Bundsö sheepdogs to Norwegian Vikings who took them to Vinland. When the Norwegians were ejected from Vinland by the natives, the dogs must have been carried from Vinland to modern Canada where they must have been passed from hand to hand ever southwards by tribes which did not want them, involving travel by land and sea and then climbing mountains into Peru where they were adopted by the Incas."
This nonsensical explanation was the only scientific theory available, that is, that would fit with the accepted history of the finding of the Americas. But if that account were wrong, a more common sense explanation might be that the Danish Vikings brought the dogs with them when they sailed to South America from Europe in the eleventh century.

* PILGRIMAGE VOLUME 30 ISSUE 1 (pilgrimagepress.org/back/v30i01.html) [archive.is/dHYKv]
From the Introduction
by Editor Juan Morales
Hózhó. Hózhó is a Navajo (Diné) word that defies any easy translation into English. Though it names a way of being, best understood in the culture where the word is at home, it speaks also to a yearning for relationship, for truth and balance, and for harmony and beauty that lives in many, if not all hearts. In the Navajo (Diné) tradition, the prayerful greeting of each new day in the pre-dawn light is a way of being open to the blessings at hand. Hózhó, like an experience of the Holy Spirit, is not something that can be grasped. It is instead an experience that comes on its own terms and only when one is open to it.
The opposite of hózhó is alienation—from the depth of one’s own heart, one’s own family and friends, one’s place, one’s culture, one’s sense of that which is holy. The harried complexities of life today are such that we may be more familiar with the absence of the experience that the word hózhó names. But if the yearning for an experience like this is alive, then so too is the possibility of coming home to it. If the stories in this issue are any indication, and I believe they are, animals of all sorts can be trustworthy guides along the trail back to an experience like hózhó, or at least the notion that such an experience is possible.
