The Gebelein mummies were accidentally preserved by their environment, as opposed to the careful preparation later Egyptian mummies underwent. Many other cases of accidental or environmental mummification have been discovered around the world, from Juanita the Ice Maiden and her fellow Incan child sacrifices, to Ötzi the Iceman.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
There isn't an easy answer to this question. When thinking about learning, there are three key points you should consider. First, we need to recognize that knowledge is the power of learning. We must also recognize the fact that knowledge is cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. This empowers us with the knowledge we need to make better decisions and live better lives. Perfect information would make it easy to make informed decisions. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. This means that once we've learned something, we continue to add more knowledge to our brains. We become more and more intelligent as time goes by. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's move on to the next point. While knowledge is cumulative, it doesn't stay static for very long. Knowledge is constantly evolving. Every day scientists discover new facts, theories, ways of thinking. Every day, new discoveries are made.
Our culture is particularly dependent upon technology which allows us to access knowledge instantly. Technology allows you to store massive amounts of data in digital format and share them with millions of people all over the world.
Globalization is changing the way that we view technology. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Knowledge is now easily accessible all over the world because of globalization.
The internet enables anyone to access information anywhere in the world. Everybody can read books and watch movies. They can also listen to music, play games, or surf the internet. Knowledge is required for all of these activities.
While knowledge is becoming increasingly accessible, it is also becoming more specialized. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These sites provide information on virtually every topic imaginable.
There are likely to be only a few websites offering automotive-related products or services if you try to search the internet for a car. You won't find thousands of websites covering every subject. Instead, you'll only find a handful that deal with cars.
Experts in particular fields have the ability to share and create value. This is why experts in these areas are so popular. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. Experts are also skilled at producing content that is relevant to their target audience.
Because consumers don't need to scroll through endless amounts of information, they can focus on a specific niche. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. When someone buys a book, he expects the author to know his subject well enough to write a clear and concise explanation of the material. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
Experts that aren't specialists risk losing potential clients who expect them to be experts.
There are many areas of expertise. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. A specialist could be an accountant. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Experts agree that it is impossible to succeed in one area without being skilled in another.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? The answer is simple: practice. You have to put in the time to learn. And when you make progress, you keep going until you reach a level where people recognize your expertise.
Nowadays, there are entire industries devoted to helping others achieve this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
History also repeats itself because we keep believing the same old stories. Our culture has conditioned us to believe there is an immutable law and a fixed truth. They cannot be changed.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. To question authority. By challenging assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. When we don't learn, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
But history doesn't repeat itself because we make the same mistakes. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. Nothing is permanent. Everything is constantly changing.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. You can accept this, but you must continue to strive for improvement.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.
What are some lessons learned from history?
There are three lessons we've learned from history. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.
The first lesson we can learn is that there are only two ways to transform the world. One is to fight for it; the other is to create it. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you attempt to convince someone of something, you'll fail. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. So whether you're creating change or reacting to it, the best way to make your mark is to follow these three rules: Be clear about what you want, be honest about where you come from, and be brave enough to go where nobody else has gone before.
The second lesson is that we all have a choice. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. We must choose the kind of life that we want. Are we content to wait for someone else's approval to let us live? Do we want to control our destiny?
I believe that we are living in the golden age. We have more opportunities than ever before which is creating excitement. People feel empowered, which is exciting.
However, it can also be a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
Let's say, for instance, that you are looking to buy a home. You could relax and hope that someone will give you a gift voucher to Home Depot. You could also think about what you would love to do. Look for a job which allows you to do that. Next, apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. Now, you might wonder "Where would I like to go?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. And finally, you'd book a flight.
Let's suppose you don't know what you want. In that case, you'd probably end up doing one of those things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. It may seem silly, but it works.
The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. This is because it's simple. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.
Use history to your advantage, to learn from other people's failures and successes and to keep improving until success.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You must believe that you are capable of doing more than you thought possible.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and then build on it. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What have you failed to do? What were your successes? How did you overcome obstacles?
Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. No matter what others say, you are capable of doing anything you set your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. These are opportunities to learn.
And that's exactly what happened to Thomas Edison. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he used each one as an opportunity to improve his design.
Over time, he created the most popular type of lighting available today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
Then, try again.

How To
Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions
How did penicillin ever become available?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He believed that the mold could kill the bacteria so he searched for something to destroy it.
He discovered penicillin kills mold and realized that the new drug could also fight bacteria-related infections. The discovery penicillin was one among the most significant medical advances ever. It saved millions of people's lives and revolutionized medicine.
Alexander Fleming wasn't aware at first that this discovery would be so crucial. Neither did anyone else. Penicillin would soon be a powerful antibiotic.
Scientists discovered penicillin could be used to treat bacterial infections, but this was not until after World War II. In 1945, the U.S. Army asked Dr. Fleming if he could use penicillin to treat soldiers suffering from wounds infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming consented to try.
Penicillin was found to be effective against many different types of infection. It saved the lives of wounded soldiers in World War II. And it helped doctors save countless lives after the war.
Dr. Fleming did not expect that his discovery would have such a profound impact. He simply wanted to make sure that mold doesn't grow in the bacteria cultures he studied. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
Truth is that most discoveries every day don’t appear to add up to anything significant. These are just experiments that were made for no specific reason.
When you look back over history, you see that sometimes those seemingly unimportant experiments can change everything.
It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. Like penicillin. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention does not happen simply because someone thinks up a brilliant idea. It occurs because someone has a problem. Then they experiment to solve their problem.
