This is the Mesha Stele. Written around 850 BCE, it was commissioned by King Mesha of Moab, a small nation around what is today Jordan. The basalt stele describes how Chemosh, the god of Moab, had previously been angry with his people and had allowed them to be subjugated to Israel but he eventually returned to his people and helped them gain their freedom from Israel. The stone then details King Mesha’s building projects.
The Mesha Stele roughly agrees with the Israelites version of events in the Books of Kings (2 Kings 3:4–8). Which makes it really, really important historically. The stele is also the most extensive inscription ever recovered that refers to the kingdom of Israel and it bears the earliest certain reference to the Israelite god Yahweh outside of the Bible itself.

Hi! Can you tell some uni or colleges math resources?
Can you be more specific? Like resources for studying for particular undergrad level classes?
A few “classic” online references:
Paul’s online math notes (https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/): algebra, calc 1-3, diff eqs though I’ve mostly only used the calc ones. A common favorite
Khan Academy: haven’t actually used any of their math stuff for years but I remember their videos were good
3blue1brown: he has a series on calc, diff eqs, and linear alg. I haven’t actually watched many of these either but his videos are generally good and I know people who like the series in particular
If you mean higher level math, I tend to just use a search engine and end up referencing a mix of wikipedia, wolfram mathworld, random pdfs from various universities, and math stack exchange. And of course textbook pdfs
If you give me more details, I’ll see if I can think of anything else!

What is the actual reality of time?
Why does time follows “arrows”?
The Maiden of Llullaillaco, sacrificed at around the age of 15, was discovered with the other “Children of Llullaillaco” which includes a 6 year old girl and a 7 year old boy.
These mummies are so well preserved due to their position within a tomb atop a mountain within the extremely dry Atacama Desert. They are so well preserved, that their internal organs are intact, individual hairs on the arms can be seen and even one of the heart’s still contains frozen blood.
The deaths of the three children occurred by drugging the children with alcohol and coca, then placing them in the tomb where they eventually died in their sleep. This appears to have been a very well prepared process, as hair samples dictated that the children had extremely rich diets leading up to their deaths. The tombs were also adorned with elaborate dress and trinkets.
The boy however, faced a different death that could’ve indicated struggle or a different burial process. The boy was very tightly bound, and had dislocated hips and ribs and it appears he died under stress as the clothing contains both vomit and blood. Suffocation is the likely cause of his death due to the way he was bound.
