No wonder it was burned down so many times, they tried to force everyone to use the metric system.

Sorry, no photo.

Archaeologists find Burnt City's grain storehouse
Mehr News Agency

A part of the Burnt City's grain storehouse was unearthed during the archaeological stratigraphy of the 5200-year-old site in southeastern Iran. A team of archaeologists led by Mansur Sajjadi began the excavations in early November in an area measuring 2x50 meters... "We found remnants of a building in one of the strata during the excavations. The team performed some tests on soil gathered from the building's grounds and found traces of 5000-year-old grain. Near the entrances of the building, we also discovered some beads which confirmed our idea that the building is a grain storehouse," he explained... Covering an area of 150 hectares, the site was one of the world's largest cities at the dawn of the urban era. It was built circa 3200 BC and destroyed some time around 2100 BC. The city had four stages of civilization and was burnt down three times. Since it was not rebuilt after the last time it was burnt down, it has been named the Burnt City.

Now wait a second... 300,000 hectares, or 150 hectares?

"Initial anthropological studies on the remaining skeleton of the woman to which this artificial eyeball belong revealed that she was a hybrid woman who died 4800 years ago between the ages of 25 to 30..."

Any idea what is a hybrid woman?

[SIDENET]

Initial studies on the eyeball also suggest formation of an abscess in the eyelid due to long-term contact with the eyeball.

Sounds painful.
