Workers exploring the site of an intended quarry in rural Indiana stumbled upon a mummified body that experts say could be anywhere from 500 to 2,000 years old, the Times of Northwest Indiana reports.

On his third voyage Columbus visited a bit of what is now the coast of Venezuela, and on his fourth voyage sailed along the coast of Central America from Honduras to Panama.

“White privilege” is just another indicator of Caucaphobia
or an unreasoned fear of Caucasians.
