Protest Ahead of Meeting to Decide Fate of Snibston Discovery Museum
Original Post Date: 18 February 2015
Around 100 people protested today outside the offices of Leicestershire County Council ahead of a meeting to decide the fate of the Snibston Discovery Museum.
Brian Vollar from Friends of Snibston organised the protest and said, Snibston Discovery Museum is a major asset in this area, this region and indeed in the nation, over 10,000 people have expressed their view for it to be saved, unfortunately the cabinet have ignored that strength of opinion, so people have been required to come out in person and let them know how they feel
Leicester County Councillor Byron Rhodes said it costs to much to run that particular museum and its in a location where it doesn't attract as many visitors as it needs to in order to balance itself financially and therefore there is an inevitability about it

#6 Looking for Richard
Richard III had a relatively short reign when he was killed in battle in 1485. His corpse was transported and later buried without ceremony at Greyfriars Priory Church In Leicester (LES-ter). After that, Richard’s unmarked tomb was lost. It wasn’t found until centuries later. In 2012, his remains were located in a car parking lot in Leicester where the Greyfriars Church once stood. After the remains underwent a DNA analysis, it was confirmed that the skeleton was indeed that of Richard III. In 2015 the royal remains were re-buried at Leicester Cathedral, this time with plenty of ceremonies. Did you know there was evidence showing that Richard did have a curved spine? But he wasn’t hunch-backed as is depicted in Shakespeare’s play.
#5 The Antikythera Mechanism
This strange device resembled a lump of fused metal that was discovered in a shipwreck by sponge divers off the Greek coast in 1901. The mysterious archaeological find is a device that features a complex clockwork mechanism made up of at least 30 meshing bronze gears. It was originally regarded as a type of navigational instrument. But it was later identified as an ancient analogue computer and orrery (oh-rare-ee), which is a mechanical model of the solar system. It’s thought that the device was used for predicting eclipses and the movements of stars and planets for astrological and calendrical purposes. Researchers theorize the device was created by Greek scientists, and has been dated as far back as 205 BC.
#4 Herculaneum
You already know that Mount Vesuvius erupted and destroyed the city of Pompeii. The story is legendary, and the city’s remains are one of Italy’s biggest tourist attractions. Not so well known is the another location that was destroyed by Vesuvius on that same day in 79 AD. Herculaneum was a Roman town that was blasted by scorching lava and volcanic gas, which carbonized everything there. As a result, the area was remarkably well preserved over the ages. It was discovered in 1709 when a farmer uncovered some elaborate statues while he was digging a well. They indicated the presence of the city’s theater, which had been laying there undisturbed for a millennium. Major excavation of the site began in 1738, but enthusiasm waned after the ruins of Pompeii were discovered nearby. The city remained semi-buried until 1927 when 15 acres of the site were excavated. Further efforts led to the restoration of Roman houses and other artifacts. Even with conservation measures in place today, much of the site is still unexcavated.
#3 Lascaux Caves
This location in southwestern France is sometimes called the ‘Sistine Chapel of Prehistoric Art’. Nearly 6,000 ancient works of art can be found in this cave that date back an estimated 17,000 years to the Upper Paleolithic. The entrance was found in 1940 by a teenager when his dog fell into a hole. Along with three of his friends, the quartet accessed the cave down a shaft that measured about 49 feet deep (15 m). There they found the rock walls covered with ancient drawings and paintings that depicted animals. By 1948 the caves were opened to the public before being closed in 1963 to preserve the artwork from contamination. A duplicate cave that contains artwork replicated from the original ‘Great Hall of the Bulls’ was created nearby in 1983.
#2 Rosetta Stone
Archaeologists say that this legendary chunk of igneous rock was carved around 196 BC during the reign of King Ptolemy (TOL-uh-mee) the Fifth. In fact all three scripts found on the Stone describe a decree that was issued on the King’s behalf, and lists a number of his good deeds. With a height of nearly 4 feet (116 cm) and weighing some 1,680 pounds (760 kg), it was originally displayed in a temple. It was moved around Egypt over the ages and at one point served as building material in a fort near the city of Rosetta. The stone was re-discovered at that fort by a French soldier during Napoleon’s campaign in 1799. After being taken to France it took 20 years until the scripts were transliterated. That led to a watershed of knowledge, including the decipherment of hieroglyphics and a greater understanding of Ancient Egyptian culture. Today it’s the most visited artifact at the British Museum in London.

Biggest Mysteries That Have Been SOLVED
Have you ever wondered what happened to some important historical figures? Or if ancient artifacts were as ancient as they seemed? Some of these mysteries are new, and others have been around for so long, you might not have realized they’ve already been solved.

6. Nazca Lines
For a while, these seemingly artistic formations found in the Nazca region in Peru were the cause of speculation that implied something alien, as in outer space, was going on. The images seemed to be shapes of animals, others were more geometrical in nature. The largest of the images measured to about 1,200 ft long, with the first recorded mention of the lines being in a book written by Pedro Cieza de León, a Spanish conquistador, in 1553. So how did these geoglyphs come into existence? The peoples of the Nazca culture were said to have formed these lines with ancient hydraulic systems that were used as aquifers. Seems the explanation of aliens has been foiled yet again.
5. Crystal Skulls
For the sake of preserving the legacy of Indiana Jones, we’re just going to forgo any further mention of that one movie. Anyways, the crystal in this photo is made of a milky white quartz, or rock crystal, that was at first said to be traced back to pre-Columbian Mesoamerican times. This claim however has been proved to been a false one. It all started around the 19th century, when trading in these falsely ancient artifacts was quite popular. A lot of these crystal skulls are on display at museums, with most people knowing they probably weren’t made from the ancient peoples of the Americas since there is no recorded excavation that was said to have discovered such items.
4. The Real King Kong
From the older movies to the newer ones, every generation has experienced at least 1 of these King Kong movies Hollywood has produced throughout the years. And while a simian animal the size of a building probably doesn’t exist, there was actually an ape that onced roamed the earth that is said to be the closest thing to the King Kong we’re used to seeing on the big screen. The largest ape ever recorded was said to have lived 100,000 years ago and became extinct due to climate change affecting their diet. These huge apes were said to have measured to about 9 ft tall and once inhabited the regions of southern China and Southeast Asia.
3. Underwater Crop Circles
Strange etchings into the ocean floor were found under the waters of Japan back in 1995 and for a long time, no one could explain what was going on. The patterns appeared symmetrical and intricate, meaning that if it wasn’t a piece of human machinery that created them, the origin was surely alien, right? Well, no. Actually, it was discovered in 2013 that it was a puffer fish that was behind the odd little motifs. Male pufferfish move their fins in certain patterns as they swim along the ocean floor, usually along their nesting site. What’s cuter is that they even decorate their circles to give them a distinct look.
2. The Wow! Signal
Like Panic! At the Disco, that exclamation point in is in the middle of that phrase. The Wow! Signal was a narrow band radio signal that was found to be incredibly strong after it was received in the year 1977 at the Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope. The signal seemed to have been coming from the direction of the Sagittarius constellation, with many exclaiming this surely must mean aliens. If you’ve learned anything from this video, you’ll realize this simply wasn’t so. The Wow! Signal was so named after astronomer Jerry Ehman wrote that “wow!” you see in red pen on the printout. Turns out, it was a premature exclamation since the data ended up being just hydrogen gas left by 2 comets that flew past Earth. That’s deflating
What Happened to Richard III
He was one of the most despised figures in British history and was immortalized in the eponymous play by William Shakespeare as a limping, deformed sinister king who schemed his way to being the King of England during the 1400s. Richard III is a well known historical figure, but not always a well liked one. And for a long time, the location of his remains was unknown to historians. That is until August of 2012 when his bones were found near a city center in Leicester (lester). Researchers figured it was at this location since it is where Greyfriars Church used to be before the Catholic monasteries were done away with after England dissolved ties with the Vatican. It seems after the Plantagenet king had fallen in battle against Henry VII’s men, he had just been under a present day parking lot the whole time.
