Ava (Achavanich) - After CGI

Ava (Achavanich) - After CGI

Why so much interest in Ava? As you can see the 3D rendering of the 3700 old woman doesn't look all too much different from the average Western woman that would pass you in the street. The image was created using her bones, including skull and teeth, and has become the subject of a long-term project by archaeologist Maya Hoole and her ridiculously talented team.

Disconcertingly, Maya and her team discovered that her skull was quite the abnormal shape which gave indication to the fact that in her lifetime which was lived so long ago she may have been the victim of deliberate binding. However, it's hard to say, considering she existed amongst a group of people known as the Beaker people and it was fairly common for them to have shorter and rounded skulls.

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
