Peruvian archaeologists and activists have joined with the indigenous Harakmbut people to find legendary Incan lost cities. If they find them soon enough, traditional Harakmbut lands leased to an American oil company might be designated off-limits to drilling.
Via Frontline:
If the Harakmbut can find the ruins, which elders say is located near the top of a mountain, Hunt — and now two other companies — may have to stop work in the reserve. But no one knows if the ruins exist — and if they do, Peru’s ministry of culture will have to deem them culturally significant in order to potentially stop oil and gas exploration.

Since 2012, the Polynesian island’s population has increased from 8,000 to 12,000 and tourism has skyrocketed. From The […]
Creating a fantasy world for a video or role-playing game is tough enough. In addition to all the game framework and functionality that goes into a build of any size, creators invariably sweat over the most minute details of every weapon, outfit, or other distinctive objects in their game. Even if your game is set […]
We get it. You don’t have to go to the office anymore. That’s no excuse for letting your grooming go positively feral. We’re not saying you need to be GQ cover model-ready every Monday through Friday. But at least put in some effort to keep yourself relatively trimmed, clean, and on point. Even if you […]
With everybody cooped up inside right now, it’s no surprise that many houses are starting to get a little bit…well, funky. Yeah…they smell.
