| | Eritrea: The OLDEST new Nation (Part 1/2) - 418 sec
==========================================
What makes Eritrea the Oldest new nation you ask?
==========================================
One of the oldest hominids, representing a link between Homo erectus and an archaic Homo sapiens, was found in Buya (Eritrean Danakil) in 1995 by Italian scientists. The cranium was dated to be over 1 million years old

According to renowned archaeologist, evidence found on the shoreline of Eritrea's Red Sea coast that dates back 125,000 years ago supports the "Out of Africa" theory of human evolution leaving africa through Eritrea's Red Sea coasts. The first humans to leave Africa and colonize Earth left through Massawa's last "beach party" in Eritrea some 125,000 years ago.

-----------------------------------
The Land of Punt Empire found in Eritrea.
Ancient Egyptian sources also give references to cities and trading posts along the southwestern Red Sea coast, roughly corresponding to modern day Eritrea, calling this the land of Punt famed for its incense. Expeditions to this very land were launched by the Ancient Egyptians as early as the 25th century BC and were chronicled in more detail in later expeditions during the reign of the female Pharao Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC. As it stands, Eritrea is the only nation where they have been able to find evidence of Ancient punt artifacts in Eritrea, thus, diminishing the claims by Sudan, Ethiopia and central Somalia as being other possible location for this mysterious empire.

Aksumite Empire, along with the Roman Empire, Persian Empire and the Chinese Empire are said to be the greatest four empires of their time.
Aksum is mentioned in the 1st century CE Periplus of the Erythraean Sea as an important market place for ivory, which was exported throughout the ancient world:
"From that place to the city of the people called Auxumites there is a five days' journey more; to that place all the ivory is brought from the country beyond the Nile through the district called Cyeneum, and thence to Adulis....
—Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, Chap.4
According to the Periplus, the ruler of Aksum in the 1st century CE was Zoscales, who, besides ruling in Aksum also held under his sway two harbours on the Red Sea: Adulis (near Massawa) and Avalites (Assab). He is also said to have been familiar with Greek literature:
"These places, from the Calf-Eaters to the other Berber country, are governed by Zoscales; who is miserly in his ways and always striving for more, but otherwise upright, and acquainted with Greek literature."
—Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, Chap.5

| | Platinum from the Deep - 131 sec
One of the most famous sources for both diamonds and platinum is South Africa's Bushveld Complex, a giant geological mishmash of ancient magmas that welled up into the crust more than 2 billion years ago. And it's unusually rich in platinum and similar elements.
Finding such wealthy deposits is difficult, so exploration geologists have been studying the Bushveld Complex to find out what's special about it.

| | Forensic seismologists: Utah mine collapse source of quake - 123 sec
It is a chicken-or-egg question: On Aug. 6, 2007, Utah's Crandall Canyon coal mine collapsed, killing six miners. At about the same time, seismic stations in Utah recorded a seismic event of magnitude 3.9. The question is which came first: Did a minor earthquake cause the mine to collapse? Or was the collapse itself the seismic event?
