We May Finally Know How the Pyramids Were Built It's easy to see why people are so fascinated with the Egyptian pyramids. There are a lot of mysteries surrounding their construction. You probably don't believe the conspiracy theories that say they were built by aliens, but they weren't built by slave labor, either. So how did people 4,000 years ago create some of the largest, most iconic structures on Earth? We're still not totally sure — but a new discovery could make it a whole lot clearer. The oldest of the most famous pyramids in the world is also the largest. At 481 feet (146.5 meters) tall, it's not called the Great Pyramid of Giza for nothing. It was constructed at the order of Pharoah Khufu sometime around 2560 B.C.E., although how it was actually constructed has been shrouded by history. Still, bit by bit, archaeologists have been able to explain various mechanisms behind the building's construction. The stones themselves were mined from a quarry just south of the pyramid, and researchers believe that their journey across the desert was made easier by wetting the sand first. But that only explains how the stones got from one location to another, not how they were then lifted high into the air and deposited in an enormous triangle. Researchers believed that action would have involved a ramp of some sort, and that's a pretty fair guess. It's not as if they had a five-story crane. But as for the actual evidence of such a ramp? Researches were coming up empty-handed. It's a particular challenge because the ramp would have needed to be very steep — an incline of about 20 degrees or so — and that would have posed a significant challenge for a 2.5 ton stone. Now, a new discovery at a different quarry might shed light on how ancient people managed such a feat. At Hatnub, another rock quarry located in Egypt's eastern desert, an Anglo-French team found a very unusual ramp carved into the ground that hinted at some surprisingly advanced technological achievements. For one thing, it was pretty steep, but more significantly, it was flanked on both sides by staircases. These stairs were marked with recurring holes that could have contained wooden posts (which would have rotted away long ago). According to the mission's co-director Yannis Gourdon, "This kind of system has never been discovered anywhere else." What's more, it's dated to about 4,500 years ago, well before construction began on Khufu's big legacy. Roland Enmarch, another scholar who participated in the expedition, noted that the patterns of the post holes in the stairs suggested a particular kind of rope-and-pulley system. Similar pulley systems are well-documented in Greek technology, but this discovery predates those devices by some 2,000 years. Since this specific ramp is cut into the rock itself, it wouldn't have been used to build the actual Great Pyramid. But it does suggest that the ancient Egyptians had a firm grasp on the kinds of simple machines that can be used to turn an impossible amount of hard work into just a whole lot of hard work.

The World's Only Known Pirate Cemetery Is in Madagascar Famous tales of swashbuckling pirates traditionally take place far out on the open seas. We hear of nomadic villains like Blackbeard and Calico Jack sailing wooden ships with ominous flags, and living their best lives full of crime and debauchery. Legend has it, however, that the most savory of pirate tales are actually those based not on water but on land. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Île Sainte-Marie, a small island about 5 miles (8 kilometers) off the coast of Madagascar, was home to an estimated 1,000 pirates. For around 100 years, anyone who was anyone in the pirate world is said to have lived there when they weren't sailing the high seas. Île Sainte-Marie's rocky, secluded bays offered the perfect hiding place, while its convenient location along the East Indies trade route allowed pirates to stealthily intercept treasure-filled ships. Plus, it goes without saying that a tropical island isn't such a bad choice of residence for anyone, criminal or no. While some men went so far as to raise families on the island, the free-wheeling bachelors of the bunch were drawn by the island's beautiful local women. What more could they ask for? We all know pirates weren't the most venerated of characters — far from it. But, that doesn't mean their fellow scoundrels didn't give 'em a proper burial when their time came. Today, Île Sainte-Marie is home to the world's only known pirate cemetery. When pirates died on the island, they were buried atop a hill overlooking the water. Notorious marauders like Thomas Tew are known to reside in the cemetery, lying six feet under crumbling tombstones adorned with symbolic skulls and crossbones. Although it's open to the public, the graveyard is now overgrown by tall grass and only has 30 headstones still intact. But that doesn't stop adventurous travelers from paying a visit. Also among the pirate-crazy visitors to the island are archeologists. These explorers are less interested in the cemetery and more intrigued by what lies beneath the waters. Today, several shipwrecks are thought to lurk off the coast of Île Sainte-Marie, including the infamous Ioel Kidd's Adventure Galley. The story goes that upon returning to the island after his conquests, Kidd decided it was time to retire his current vessel and start fresh. He loaded his treasure onto a new ship and sunk the Adventure Galley — along with some of his booty, according to lore.

Banning Phone Calls from Planes Is More About Cell Service Than Safety The huge increase in air travelers and ever more full — and oversold — flights have made air travel more trying. But it has gotten better in one aspect that most of us in the smartphone-addicted public appreciate: Cellphone use is no longer completely forbidden on planes. We used to have to turn our phones off and store them when we flew commercially, but now can keep them on as long as they are in Airplane Mode. Why? What's changed? Weren't planes supposed to fall out of the sky should some forgetful flier leave their phone on? And what really would happen if everyone started yakking away during cross-country flights? First, some basics on how cellphone systems work. When you make or receive a call, your phone looks for the closest cell tower to connect to. Each tower services an area (a "cell") that may be as large as 50 miles in radius over flat terrain, or smaller than a mile in radius in hilly areas or dense urban zones. As you move from one cell to another, say on your daily commute, your cellphone call gets handed off from one tower to the next. It requires a fair bit of work on the part of the overall system to make these transitions seem seamless to you. There are also built-in expectations about how often these handoffs should happen (not very), the speed of the user (highway speeds at most), and your altitude (somewhere near the ground). Cellular use on a plane at cruising altitude breaks all three of these expectations. Simply put, calls in the sky may interfere with the proper functioning of this complex system — particularly if a couple hundred passengers all had their cellular radios on — such that users on the ground are affected. So, for now, the Federal Communications Commission restricts cellular use on airplanes. That all sounds like a service issue, not a safety one. What would happen if someone kept their phone's cellular functions on while enjoying the view at 30,000 feet? Likely, nothing. And that's a good thing, since even when their use was completely banned, people left them on all the time, whether intentionally or not. But there is a non-neglible risk that using your phone could interfere with critical systems on the plane. Although most modern phones no longer do this, GSM (2G) phones were notorious for interfering with other electronic systems. Former owners will recall the "buzz" you heard in your stereo or speakerphone when making a call. Now, imagine this buzz being picked up by a sensitive navigation system. You don't need to be technically minded to understand that might not be good. Researchers found that electromagnetic emissions from personal electronic devices can interfere with a plane's systems. Specifically, those in the 800-900 MHz range can interfere with unshielded cockpit instrumentation. This is a particular issue on older aircraft. Newer planes are designed to deal with the huge amount of electronics the flying public takes onto airplanes. Airplanes are incredibly complex machines, filled with electronics and critical systems required to perform the modern miracle that is flight. The thing about complex systems is that it's usually impossible to test how safe they are under every conceivable contingency. Given how many new phones come on the market each year, it would be challenging to test how each and every model might interfere with the systems on each aircraft in the commercial fleet worldwide. So airplane manufacturers work to "harden" the critical systems on their planes to make them less susceptible to interference from electronics. Cellphones used to be just that, a phone. You used it to call and text people. Arguably, the "phone" is now the least used function — think about the time you spend making calls versus everything else you do with it. So frequent fliers chafed at having to put their phone away for hours. Although the FCC governs the use of cellular phones on planes, the Federal Aviation Administration governs the use of electronic devices on planes. If a device doesn't interfere with the aircraft's communication or navigation systems, it can be used on planes. People were using laptops, cameras, video players, tablets, electronic games and so on, so why not smartphones? After all, this single device now performs the functions of all those others. Hence, the FAA ruled they may be used, but only if the cellular radio was switched off. Enter Airplane Mode. By adding Airplane Mode, device manufacturers have made our lives easier. When you flip on this feature, it turns off your phone's cellular radio so you can't make phone calls or text. It also turns off WiFi and Bluetooth, but both of those can be re-enabled and used on planes. Airlines continue to innovate. Delta, for example, offers free access to certain messaging apps like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, which work over WiFi. But cellular texting, which needs the cellular radio, is still prohibited. Of course some people still want to be able to make phone calls while in flight. Sadly for those of us in the flying public who don't want to sit next to someone loudly blabbing away all the way from New York to LA, this day may come. Airlines are experimenting with "picocells," which are like mini, low-power cell towers within the plane itself. Since this is the closest "tower" a phone on a plane would find, it would not connect to any towers on the ground, eliminating the FCC's concerns. Your call would be routed like a VoIP call using the plane's onboard internet provider system. As for how to keep the rest of us from erupting like Samuel L. Jackson, "Enough is enough! I've had it with these [daggone] cell phones on this [daggone] plane!"— perhaps airlines will create "cell-free zones" like the ones in trains and other public places.

There's a Secret Apartment in the Eiffel Tower The biggest Disney World fans are aware of the luxurious suite inside Cinderella's castle, but did you know that there's also a secret apartment at the top of the Eiffel Tower? Unlike the castle, however, entrepreneur Gustave Eiffel had this epic hideaway built just for himself — no guests allowed. If we were to say where the best view in Europe is, the top of the Eiffel Tower would be a likely contender. Imagine waking up in a cozy apartment with colorful wallpaper, wooden cabinets, and a grand piano. You'd sip espresso and nibble a croissant while gazing over the Palais de Chaillot from nearly 1,000 feet (305 meters) in the air. You may believe that this is what Gustave Eiffel had in mind when he instructed his team to build the tower and its secret apartment in 1889, but the truth is that he needed to use this space to make his tower a permanent fixture of the Paris skyline. Originally, the Eiffel Tower was intended as a temporary exhibit meant to broadcast France's industrial power to the rest of Europe. Eiffel knew that the terms of the construction project meant the tower was slated for demolition in 1909, so he contacted the world's most prominent scientists in an attempt to provide the tower with a legitimate scientific purpose that would save his namesake creation from being destroyed. Upon the tower's completion, the apartment served as a laboratory for atmospheric measurements, astronomical observations, and physics experiments. He finally found the perfect accomplice in Captain Gustave Ferrié, who used the tower for the French Army's wireless telegraphy experiments in 1903. The tower was able to broadcast wireless signals as far as North America, making it indispensable to the city that would otherwise have torn it down only six years later. Writer Henri Girard declared that Eiffel's apartment was "furnished in the simple style dear to scientists," in contrast to the "wrought iron modernity and technological prowess" of the tower. As one might imagine, his enclave was the talk of the Parisian elite, and many requested to rent his space. Eiffel's apartment remained private, however, and he only entertained guests, such as Thomas Edison, on occasion. In summer 2016, vacation rental company HomeAway converted a conference space inside the tower into an apartment. No, it's not the same, but it's still 188 feet (57 meters) above ground with two bedrooms, an urban greenhouse, and panoramic views of the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré Coeur, and the Seine River from its floor-to-ceiling windows. Pretty sweet. Four contest winners already stayed in the space in July 2016, so we're keeping our ears open for more opportunities. What about the apartment itself? While you still can't stay there, you can tour it. You'll even catch a peek of Eiffel and Edison mannequins having a chat. And maybe, just maybe, you can still sip an espresso, nibble on a croissant, and pretend you're one of Eiffel's bourgeois guests.

If Cars Have Shoulder Belts, Why Don't Airplanes? When the "fasten seat belt" sign flashes on in airplanes, with its familiar accompanying ding, it's often met with passengers' equal parts annoyance and resignation, when it's acknowledged at all. Like, "What? Again? Really? Do I have to ...?" The answer, of course, is yes. You really have to. As Mom would say, "it's for your own good." "I think it's the old, 'It's not going to happen to me,' syndrome," Richard McSpadden, the executive director of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association's Air Safety Institute, says of the typical flyer's attitude toward buckling up. "Aviation accidents are so rare that people say, 'What are the odds it's going to happen to me?' And I would agree with them that the odds are extremely low. "But I would then add that even though the odds are low, the consequences of something happening can be pretty significant, even if it's just a bump in turbulence. If you're not strapped in right, your head could hit the top of that airplane. That can result in a serious injury. And it's so effortless to strap a seat belt around you." (That's true for average-size people anyway.) A simple lap belt — or even other restraints, like shoulder harnesses — may not be enough to save a life if an airliner drops from the sky from 35,000 feet (10,668 meters), or undergoes a catastrophic mid-air failure. A seat belt wasn't enough in the tragic death of Jennifer Riordan, who reportedly was wearing her seat belt when a part from a failed engine in a Southwest Airline 737 blew out the window next to her seat on April 17, 2018. She was nearly sucked out of the airplane when the air in the pressurized cabin rushed out of the window. The rare accidents like that, though, or the more conventional plane-hits-ground type, are not the only reasons for seat belts on airplanes. They're designed to protect you from the airplane during flight, too. "The reason you must wear a seat belt, flight crew included," Heather Poole, an American Airlines flight attendant and author, told The Telegraph in 2015, "is because you don't want the plane coming down on you. People think they're lifted up in the air during turbulence. The truth is the plane drops. It comes down hard and it comes down fast and that's how passengers get injured — by getting hit on the head by an airplane." It's simple physics, Newton's first law of motion: A body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it. Think of it this way: If you're not wearing a seat belt on an airplane that drops suddenly — which often happens with turbulence — you're the one at rest. You'll stay at rest as the plane, very literally, drops out from under you. If you're strapped in, the seat belt serves as an outside force acting on you, taking you with the plane as it drops and saving you from bonking your head on that overhead bin above you. "It allows you to stay in place and ride along with the airplane," McSpadden says. "It's just that added safety margin that if something unexpected happens, you're still going to stay with the airplane." A little reasoning might suggest that if a lap belt is good while flying, a shoulder harness — like those in cars and those in smaller so-called general aviation planes — would be even better. Indeed, shoulder belts or harnesses might help, McFadden and others say. But they would be costly to install, and trickier to get to work correctly on bigger commercial planes, experts say. They'd probably be uncomfortable on longer flights. And wearing shoulder harnesses might meet a lot of resistance from the flying public, too. "The answer would be, yes, it certainly would help, because it would prevent the movement of the upper torso aggressively in terms of some kind of sudden impact," McSpadden says. "How you can do that is another question entirely." Some wonder whether shoulder belts are needed on commercial airlines, considering lap belts — when they're used — seem to do the trick. "Clearly for the vertical deceleration [typical] of an airplane crash, the lap belt seems to be the most important restraint," David King, a trauma surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, told Time after the July 2013 wreck of Asiana Airlines flight 214 in San Francisco killed three people. (Noted in the official National Transportation Safety Board report of that accident: "The two ejected passengers (one of whom was later rolled over by two firefighting vehicles) were not wearing their seatbelts and would likely have remained in the cabin and survived if they had been wearing them.") In smaller aircraft, though, shoulder harnesses — which are required for all seats in all small airplanes manufactured since Dec. 12, 1986 — work and work well. Used with lap belts, shoulder harnesses in smaller planes have been shown to reduce serious injuries from accidents by 88 percent and fatalities by 20 percent, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Ironically, the safety record of commercial airlines may be the overwhelming reason that shoulder harnesses have not been required of large passenger planes. In 2017, no one was killed in a commercial jet airliner incident anywhere in the world, making it the safest year ever for big passenger planes. In its Civil Aviation Safety Review for 2017, which examined accidents on large passenger aircraft, the Dutch aviation consulting firm To70 estimated that there were "0.08 fatal accidents per million flights [in 2017]. That is a rate of one fatal accident for every 12 million flights." With a safety record like that, it's hard to argue that shoulder harnesses would lower the risk of flying enough to offset the costs, the effort and the resistance such a major change would generate. Lap belts, though? They help. They help a lot. So when flying, it's probably best to buckle up and stay that way. For your own good. This article is republished with permission from HowStuffWorks.

Nobody Knows Who Designed the Taj Mahal The Taj Mahal is one of the world's most recognizable structures. The UNESCO heritage site is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World — alongside the Great Wall of China and Petra in Jordan. But the Taj Mahal is one of the newer World Wonders on the list, having been commissioned in 1632. For this reason, its admirers are often surprised to find out that nobody actually knows who designed it. The Taj Mahal's combination of Indian, Persian, and Islamic influences makes it the most distinctive and outstanding example of Mughal architecture in existence today. The Mughals claimed descendence from Genghis Khan and Tamerlane and established an extremely diverse, religiously tolerant society largely considered to be India's last Golden Age. The Taj Mahal represents a key turning point in the identity of the empire itself. Although the Mughals were proud of their Persian and Timurid roots, the design of the Taj Mahal shows that they now saw themselves as being Indian first, while respecting their Muslim heritage. One of the building's most dominant themes is hierarchy, which played a critical role in Mughal religion and philosophy during the 17th century. Shah Jahan ruled at the peak of Mughal power and commissioned the Taj Mahal to be built as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died tragically after the birth of their 14th child. Shah Jahan oversaw the design and construction of the palace personally, taking great care to participate in nearly every aspect of the building's construction. While historians know that Shah Jahan was very interested in architecture, he could not have designed the building himself — it was almost certainly designed by a team of world-class professionals, and that could be one of the reasons why their names are lost to history while Shah Jahan's remains most closely tied to the mausoleum. Shah Jahan may have been interested in promoting the building as part of his imperial legacy and a testament to the loss of his beloved rather than a work of art to be appreciated independent of So Who Designed It? The official Mughal histories account for 37 designers and architects who would have been able to contribute to the Taj Mahal commission for Shah Jahan. The person who most likely played the role of the chief architect was Ustad Ahmad from Lahore, an Indian of Persian descent who was credited with designing the Red Fort at Delhi. Modern historians tend to agree that the Taj Mahal was a collaborative effort; for example, the famous Turkish dome-builder Ismaili Afandi probably played a role, along with Amanat Khan from Shiraz, the master calligrapher whose signature graces the Taj Mahal's gateway. With a team like this, it's likely that Shah Jahan acted in the capacity of something like an artistic director, gathering various world-renowned experts and giving them specific tasks to perform according to his own project schedule. More than 20,000 workers from throughout India, Europe, Persia, and the Ottoman Empire contributed to the construction of the Taj Mahal, alongside 1,000 elephants performing heavy lifting duties. Whether or not one person designed it, the final product was certainly a group effort.

Recovering from coronavirus: Three harrowing stories of surviving Covid-19 While the number of coronavirus deaths has risen above 2,000 in the UK, most people who contract the virus go on to get better. Some people experience relatively mild symptoms, or even no symptoms at all. Others have no option but hospital treatment. We have spoken to three people who were hospitalised after developing Covid-19. All are at different stages of their lives, and are recovering in isolation. 'I was fighting for mine and my baby's life' Karen Mannering from Herne Bay in Kent is six months pregnant with her fourth child. The 39-year-old started struggling with a persistent cough and a fever during the second week of March, but hospital staff were wary of bringing her in. On day 11, that changed. "I called 999 and my breathing sounded so bad an ambulance was at our house within minutes," explains Karen. "I was literally gasping for air so they put me on oxygen straight away." Karen tested positive for Covid-19. She had pneumonia in both of her lungs and was isolated in a hospital room for a week. "No one was allowed to come and see me," she says. "It was a very lonely, dark time. I was bed-bound for two or three days. I couldn't even go to the toilet. If they needed to change the bed sheets, they would have to turn me over. "When I struggled to breathe, I would buzz for help and would have to wait for staff to get their protective equipment on before they could attend to me. I was constantly on the phone to my family to keep me calm. I was scared I was going to die and my family say they had prepared for the worst. "I was fighting for every single breath. I was fighting for mine and my baby's life." Karen says she will never forget the feeling of crisp, cold air on her face the day she left hospital. "My husband and I drove home with our face masks on and the windows open," she says. "The breeze felt amazing. I suddenly appreciated the smallest of things." Karen is now self-isolating at home, but in a room away from the rest of her family. She is getting stronger, but still has a dry cough which could last months. She believes she could have contracted coronavirus at the beauty salon where she works, but she may never know for sure. She may also never know how her family seems to have escaped the virus. "I just wanted someone to help me" Jessie Clark from Sheffield knew she would be vulnerable if she contracted Covid-19 - she has chronic kidney disease and five years ago had a kidney removed. When the 26-year-old started coughing and becoming increasingly breathless she started to worry. Within days, she was struggling to walk. "I also had a lot of pain in my ribs, back and abdomen," explains Jessie. "I felt like I had been beaten up." Two days after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the UK was going into lockdown, Jessie's fiance Tom drove her to A&E. They were quickly separated because of safety restrictions. "I was scared to be alone, but I was so poorly I just wanted someone to help me," Jessie says. "I was given a green mask with a wired bit around the nose to keep it up. I was taken to a unit which seemed to be being used for Covid-19 patients. Social distancing was in place so we had bays separated by walls with a bed in each bay. "I wasn't tested for Covid-19. My doctor told they 'couldn't swab everyone, but it was safe to assume I had it'. He said the pain I was experiencing was the inflammation from my lungs and that I should keep self-isolating and taking painkillers. "I have never had breathing issues before. It is scary not knowing if you are going to stop breathing or if what you are feeling is normal for the virus." Jessie was in hospital for six hours. Tom waited for his fiancé in the car park, unsure what was happening. He is a key worker and the couple think he may be asymptomatic and accidentally gave Jessie the virus. Five days after leaving hospital, Jessie still struggles to walk and sleeps up to 18 hours a day. She sometimes has coughing fits but can breathe more easily. "I think some young people think they're invincible, but most are taking coronavirus seriously now," she said. "There has been a lot of information telling us this virus doesn't affect people my age, but it definitely does." "I was within a whisper of a very dark place" Stewart Boyle is almost certain he contracted coronavirus at one of his choir meetings a few weeks ago. "We were all social distancing when we met on the Thursday, but by Sunday a high number of people had come down with flu-like symptoms," he says. Over the following 10 days, the 64-year-old's health declined. "It's quite subtle at first," he explains. "But then I would try to climb the stairs and be wheezing like an old man. Soon I didn't have the ability to exercise or move at all. The virus was attacking my lungs and I was losing the capacity to fight back." Stewart's family called 111 and he was taken to hospital. "It was like something out of a movie," he says. "I was wheeled into the 'red zone' and there were loads of tests being carried out and swabs being taken. They thought I had coronavirus so they upped my oxygen. There were a couple of hours where I was within a whisper of a very dark place and I thought, 'maybe my time is up'. But I wanted to live. "I could feel the battle in my lungs and it required all my reserves to get through it. The extra oxygen gave my lungs a break and gave me the added energy to push out the disease. The NHS staff were incredible, but all they can do is help you fight the virus. There's no vaccination or magical potion that can save you. It's about your own resilience." On Saturday, Stewart left hospital and is now self-isolating at home. He has been drinking a lot of water to help his lungs and throat recover. Meanwhile, his choir has performed a special song for him via Zoom. "The song was about looking after me and holding me. It was stunning," he says. "I'm a long way off to getting my singing voice back. All I can do right now is croak."

How many deaths and recoveries have there been? The virus is spreading rapidly in many countries and the death toll is still climbing - but the majority of people are recovering from the infection. The country with the highest number of cases is the US, according to figures collated by Johns Hopkins University. With more than 226,000 confirmed cases, the US is approaching three times the official number recorded in China. Around 3,300 people have died in China - but the US, Italy, Spain and France now have higher death tolls.

The outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March. This is when an infectious disease is passing easily from person to person in many parts of the world at the same time. The WHO said it took more than three months to reach the first 100,000 confirmed cases worldwide, but the number has increased by more than 100,000 just in the past two days. The true figure for the number of people with coronavirus is thought to be much higher as many of those with milder symptoms have not been tested and counted. China says it has now all but stopped the spread of the disease and the authorities have started to allow some access to Wuhan, the city in Hubei province where the outbreak began. South Korea, where a major outbreak began in February, has also seen its number of cases fall in the last couple of weeks. But badly affected countries like Italy, Spain and the US are still ramping up measures to try to slow down the spread of the virus. Governments across the world have halted flights, locked down towns and cities and urged people to stay at home. India and Saudi Arabia have begun strict lockdowns, while similar restrictions on the movement of people have been put into place across Europe.
