Black Death: The Disease That Wiped Out Half Of Europe | Secrets in the Bones

Discover the secrets behind the Colosseum's epic restoration and the ingenious Roman engineering that keeps this ancient wonder standing after 2,000 years. Take a behind-the-scenes journey through the meticulous process of restoring the Colosseum, Rome's iconic amphitheater. This video reveals how expert conservators and modern industrialists are working together to clean centuries of grime, repair fractures, and ensure the Colosseum remains waterproof and structurally sound. You'll learn how travertine stone, marble powder stucco, and innovative monitoring systems are being used to preserve the monument's legacy for future generations. Explore the fascinating history of the Colosseum's construction, from Emperor Vespasian's vision to the advanced Roman techniques that allowed this massive arena to rise in just ten years. We delve into the practical engineering marvels - like the use of arches, Roman concrete, and elliptical foundations - and uncover how construction was divided among competing companies, resulting in visible joints and unique design quirks. The video also addresses the challenges posed by earthquakes, pollution, and even the vibrations from nearby metro lines, along with the ongoing debate over public-private partnerships funding the

Headlines about the Zika disease able to destroy the babies’ brains in the womb have shocked the world. Beyond the fear and awe-inspiring pandemic disease this film reveals the origins of this seemingly harmless disease secretly spread across half the world undetected for decades until it exploded in a deadly epidemic. Could it mutate and affect adults with more severe effects and could it cause delayed damages to children’s health for those born with the disease? The Medical world is engaged in a race against time to try and answer these questions. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 01:12 - The discovery of a strange epidemy in Brasil: Zika ▷ 05:00 - A disease that destroys the brains of fetuses in utero ▷ 10:00 - Mosquito analysis to understand pathogen contagion ▷ 13:00 - The rubber, a material that allowed the virus to develop ▷ 20:39 - Trackdown Zika, a race against time to prevent a deadliest epidemic ▷ 30:00 - Scietists found how Zika causes ▷ 36:00 - The propagation of Zika: fear of an epidemy in Africa

Joseph Goebbels was Hitler's Minister of Propaganda and the mastermind behind the brainwashing campaign that eventually seduced Germany into joining the Nazi cause. We examine how he orchestrated a campaign of hate that paved the way for the Holocaust, from his roots to the moment he joined the Nazi Party.

After several family members developed Alzheimer's disease, Julia Ravey decided to become a neuroscientist and find the cure. Following recent research that suggests a link between the stomach, the brain and mental health, she meets the scientists harnessing the power of what is called "The Microbiome". Julia travels to Australia, where she meets Dr. Barry Marshall, a Nobel-prize winner who infected himself with H. pylori to prove that bacteria could cause ulcers, leading to a breakthrough in the stomach cancer treatment. However, bacteria are not all bad – in the Netherlands, she visits the Micropia Museum, learning that microbes can also be essential to our way of life. Understanding the microbiome as a kind of ecosystem that is part of the human body, scientists are attempting to increase the presence of microbes across the body by intentionally infecting people with more infectious agents. As microbiologists from Rutgers University explain to Julia, increasing microbial diversity in the body boosts its immunity, and helps people fight disease from the inside out. The next stop is UC San Diego, home to The American
