Archaeologists Discover a Massive 7000-year-old pre-historic Settlement in Serbia
A prehistoric settlement of massive size was discovered in the Banat region of northeastern Serbia. Archaeologists date back the previously known settlement to some 7,000 years, much later than the Late Neolithic period.
This discovery is of outstanding importance, as hardly any larger Late Neolithic settlements are known in the Serbian Banat region.
The settlement is located near the Tamis River in the Banat region of northeastern Serbia, a landlocked country in the Balkans.

Argentine Scientists Unveil Discovery of Speedy 90-Million-Year-Old Herbivore Dinosaur
Paleontologists from Argentina revealed the unearthing of a novel medium-sized herbivorous dinosaur, Chakisaurus nekul, which thrived approximately 90 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period in present-day Patagonia. The finding sheds light on a remarkable creature known for its speed and unique tail anatomy.
Studies of Chakisaurus have unveiled an intriguing feature: its tail curved downward, a distinctive characteristic not observed in other dinosaurs. This peculiar adaptation suggests novel locomotive abilities, aiding the dinosaur in swift maneuvers and balance during its races, crucial for evading predators in its environment.
The name "Chakisaurus nekul" holds cultural significance, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the region. "Chaki" derives from the Aonikenk language, referring to an "old guanaco," a native herbivorous mammal, while "nekul" originates from the Mapudungún language, signifying "fast" or "agile."
