n two thousand, marine archaeologist Robert Ballard and his team discovered the first evidence of a civilization that may have perished in a great flood of the Black Sea around five thousand BCE.
The discovery was made during an expedition to the Black Sea, where they found the remains of an ancient settlement, including human artifacts and evidence of farming, that had been submerged in water.
The discovery suggested that the Black Sea was once a freshwater lake that was flooded by seawater from the Mediterranean.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can Abraham Lincoln teach us?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast to forget.”
He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.
The same is true of our businesses. No matter how much we plan for success in the future, there will always be times when we are unable to move forward and end up stuck in a rut.
It's important to keep learning and growing. Even after we achieve success, it is essential to continue learning.
Lincoln had the right mindset. He realized that he could not stop learning, even though he was able to be more productive in his business.
There are two types. Those who stay busy and those who stay smart.
People who are always busy work solely to grow their businesses. They will be involved in product development, marketing strategies, customer service, or any other daily tasks.
While they might feel that they have made a significant contribution, often they are not. If these entrepreneurs don't focus on being smarter, they will not be able achieve sustainable growth.
What sets successful entrepreneurs apart? Ability to quickly adapt to changing situations.
Entrepreneurs who are successful find ways to improve their products and services when they face challenges.
On the other hand, average entrepreneurs cling to outdated methods that no longer work. They will not change their ways until they fail.
To be successful, you have to master both the art and skill of self-reflection.
What can we learn from the past?
Three lessons can be learned from history. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. You must make sure people are ready to change the way they live. You can only change the future if it is better.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. The first is to fight for it. The second is to make it happen. It is easy to lose sight of why you started a fight in the first place when you are focusing on winning.
You can't control how people react to your ideas, but you can control how you present them. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
Great movements were born out of an idea that was realized and then taken action. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
The second lesson we learn is that everyone has the option to choose. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or do we want to take charge of our destiny?
I believe that we are living in the golden age. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
It can also cause problems. It's hard to know what you want.
Let's assume you want to purchase a house. You could sit back and hope someone gives you a gift certificate to Home Depot. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" You can then search for a job where you can do it. Apply for financing.
Now, suppose you were to travel the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" You might then start saving money and researching other countries online. And finally, you'd book a flight.
Now, let's say you didn't know what you wanted. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. This may seem absurd, but it works.
And the third lesson is that no matter what happens next, you can always improve the future. It's easy. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.
The trick to success is to look back at history and learn from their mistakes and successes.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.
You can start by learning what you already know. Start small, and work your way up. Consider what you have learned over the course of your life. What are you most proud of? What have you succeeded at? How did you overcome your obstacles?
Finally, remember that the only person who can limit your potential is you. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin stated, "Nothing can work unless it works."
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This is a way to stop us from thinking critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. From challenging assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
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 unchangeable. Everything is subject to constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that your goals may not be achieved. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.
What do our mistakes teach us?
When you make a mistake, don't worry about it too much because it's a learning experience. That means you'll learn something. However, it is possible to correct a mistake. You don't have to worry about the small things. There's nothing wrong in making mistakes. We all make them.
Although you might feel embarrassed by a mistake you made, it doesn’t matter how bad you feel. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. If you let them bother you, they'll eat away at you inside. Instead, see them as an opportunity for growth and you'll be stronger.
The best way to overcome a mistake is to acknowledge and move past it. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving.
You don't need to dwell on your errors. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Created by Accident
Inventors are human. But how we respond to those mistakes determines whether our inventions become great successes or failures.
Invention is not an accident. Every invention was planned. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention can be described as a deliberate act. An intentional decision to create something new. A solution to a problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, focus on learning from them.
While we wish to claim that invention can be easy, it isn’t. Invention is hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they really need?
These are questions that you should ask yourself. These questions will help determine what product or service you should create next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. Listen to your potential and current customers.
You have to learn what they want. You must learn what they really want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. This is where invention starts.

How To
Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions
How did penicillin develop?
Alexander Fleming, who had some bacteria cultures left behind, noticed that penicillin was growing on them. He was concerned that the mold might kill bacteria and so he sought out a way to destroy it.
He found that penicillin killed the mold, and then he realized that this new substance could also help fight infections caused by bacteria. Penicillin was a major medical breakthrough. It saved millions of lives, and it changed the course forever of medicine.
At first, Alexander Fleming didn't know that his finding would be so important. No one else knew the same. Penicillin was a powerful antibiotic that no one had ever imagined.
Researchers discovered that penicillin is effective against bacterial infections only after World War II. In 1945, the U.S. Army contacted Dr. Fleming to see if penicillin could help soldiers who had been infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming accepted the offer.
It turned out that penicillin was effective against many different kinds of infection. It was a lifesaver to wounded soldiers during World War II. It was also used to save the lives of many doctors in post-war Germany.
Dr. Fleming never expected his discovery to have such far-reaching effects. He wanted to make sure mold wouldn't grow on bacteria cultures that he had previously studied. But he couldn’t imagine how this simple experiment could lead to a remarkable medical breakthrough.
It's not surprising that many of the discoveries we make every day don’t amount to anything extraordinary. These discoveries are nothing more than experiments, done for no particular purpose.
If you look back at history, you will see that even seemingly insignificant experiments can make a huge difference.
Discoveries that seem to have nothing in common end up being incredibly important. Penicillin was discovered. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It doesn't happen just because someone has an idea. It happens because someone is faced with a problem. Then they experiment to solve their problem.
