The forgotten history of Mexican Chernobyl
Two years before the Chernobyl catastrophe occurred, the largest nuclear accident on the American continent took place in Mexico. The tragedy known as the Cobalt-60 incident in Ciudad Juarez (in the north of the country) originated in a warehouse of the private hospital Centro Medico de Especialidades. This event is reminiscent of the Goiania accident in Brazil, with similar characteristics. "The Juarez accident was the largest in America due to the area affected and the waste generated," Epifanio Cruz Zaragoza, from the UNAM Nuclear Science Center, explained to Verne in an interview.

Most earlier human civilisation
What made our ancestors to be the most earliest human civilisation? This question always raises when we are talking about different cultures like Mesopotamia, Egypt, Sumeria etc.. And in my opinion, most of the people settled at the first places which were suitable for civilised living. Ancient Egyptians The ancient Egyptians were one of the earliest human civilizations. Their society is known for being very advanced and for some of the greatest buildings that have ever been built. They are also known for having an extremely complicated society with a lot of rules, punishments, and laws. The ancient Egyptians believed that there was one god above all others, called Ra. Each person was required to worship this god in a specific way. This included building temples dedicated to him and sacrificing animals to him on special occasions such as childbirth or death. The ancient Egyptians also believed in another god called Osiris, who ruled over the underworld. He was considered by many to be the father god and had many similarities with Set, who ruled over chaos or evil spirits in Egyptian mythology. Indus Valley Civilization The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan Civilization, was a Bronze Age civilization characterized by urban settlements, advanced techniques of copper and bronze metallurgy, and a complex system of weights and measures. It is one of three Early Bronze Age civilizations in South Asia, the other two being Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. The Indus Valley Civilization emerged around 3300–3100 BCE in the Punjab region during the late Harappan period. It was founded by the immigrants from the Indus River valley (modern day Pakistan) who had established various early settlements there. The civilization mainly consisted of villages and small townships on river banks which were in constant contact with each other. The urban population lived in amorphous villages spread across the plains (the plain villages), while the rural population resided in isolated farmsteads or villages located away from these areas. The major religions of the time include Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and local variants of these religions such as Shaktism and Vaishnavism. A number of schools of thought developed within Hinduism, like Shaivism and Shaktism which are still practiced today. Some scholars have argued that Norte Chico The Norte Chico is a period of time in human history that began around 14,000 years ago, and ended around 10,000 years ago. It corresponds to the period when modern humans were expanding out of Africa and spreading throughout the globe. This period may be seen as the climax of the Old World civilization and culture which had emerged from a long process of development in Africa between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago. The civilizations of this period were characterized by an advanced material culture and widespread social inequality; the social systems included chiefdoms, states (including empires), and complex polities. The Norte Chico was dominated by sedentary cultures that built monumental architecture, multi-story pyramids, ball courts, earthworks, terraces.The peoples who inhabited this area are believed to have spoken languages belonging to one or more language families belonging to the Berber branch of Afro-Asiatic languages. The Norte Chico civilization originated in Sub-Saharan Africa. It spread through parts of East Africa to Southern Africa (Zimbabwe), West Africa (Senegal) and Southwest Asia (Iranian plateau). Later on it reached Europe where it was replaced by other civilizations including Mesopotamia and Egypt Mesopotamia Mesopotamia is a region of Southern Asia. It is named after the river and city of Mesopotamia (meaning between rivers). The term Mesopotamia was originally used to describe the area around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, but has since come to refer to all of the lands between those two rivers. The earliest evidence of human settlement in Mesopotamia has been dated to approximately 9500 BCE. This was followed by archaeological periods which saw gradual shifts in people's lifestyles. There are traces of early writing systems in Sumerian, which date back as far as 3500 BCE, and Babylonian cuneiform script from about 1750 BCE. The decline of Sumerian civilisation resulted in the rise of Akkadian religion, while Babylonian empire was replaced by Persian empire. Later on, there was an interchange between Greek and Persian civilisations which led to the spread of Hellenistic culture throughout Asia Minor and Middle East regions such as Syria and Palestine. In about 300 BCE, Alexander the Great invaded Mesopotamia (then known as Babylonia) with his Macedonian army. The eastern part fell under Seleucid rule while western province came under Ptolemaic rule for a period before it was conquered by Rome in 63
