4. Technologicalmisteries
The Antikythera Mechanism is an ancient analog computer, found at the
bottom of the sea, that was supposedly designed to predict astronomical
positions and eclipses. The mechanism dates back to 205 BCE (predating
Apple by about 2,181 years) and is thought to be the most sophisticated
mechanism from the ancient world.The craftsmanship and complexity behind
the mechanism is the most fascinating aspect of the discovery, as it would be
another 1,700 years before a similar mechanism would be invented—that
being the mechanical astronomical clock.

6. Giantpanda
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in neighbouring
provinces, namely Shaanxi and Gansu. As a result of farming, deforestation, and other development, the giant panda
has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived.The giant panda is a conservation reliant endangered
species. A 2007 report shows 239 pandas living in captivity inside China and another 27 outside the country. As of
December 2014, 49 giant pandas live in captivity outside China, living in 18 zoos in 13 different countries. Wild
population estimates vary; one estimate shows that there are about 1,590 individuals living in the wild, while a 2006
study via DNA analysis estimated that this figure could be as high as 2,000 to 3,000. Some reports also show that
the number of giant pandas in the wild is on the rise.In March 2015, Mongabay stated the wild giant panda population
increased by 268, or 16.8%, totaling to 1,864 individuals. However, the IUCN does not believe there is enough
certainty yet to reclassify the species from endangered to vulnerable.

farm by Pinkertons, which resulted in the chopping off of his mothers arm
