Washington, September 25 : Latest discoveries by archaeologists have shown a massive royal grave site in a village known as Bonce in Macedonia, one of a kind in the Balkans, which has led them to suggest that the locality may be the long lost kingdom of Pelagonia.

The grave site was discovered by a team led by Professor Viktor Lilcic.

“According to the way this was built, the brilliance behind it, and just from the sheer size of the grave site, we believe the king of Pelagonia had been buried here,” said Dr. Antonio Jakimovski, coordinator of the Archeological Research.

The grave site is from the 4th century B. C. when the kingdom of the Pelagonians was around. It was suggested the site had been robbed even in Antic times.

Washington, September 25 : A study by biologists has indicated that extreme flood events in floodplain grasslands affect carabid beetles and molluscs more than plants.

The study was conducted by biologists from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), TU Berlin, the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG), OKON Kallmunz and the ILN Buhl, following several years of observations before and after the Elbe floods of August 2002.

Flow variations are known to be most important drivers in structuring riverine communities.

New York, Sept. 25: New York, Sept. 25 (ANI): Faced with the possibility of a media blackout, Alaska Governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, has been forced into doing more interviews in the run-up to the November 4 presidential and vice-presidential elections.

Washington, September 25 : A new research has led to the discovery of two new species of bacteria found growing on the walls of ancient Roman tombs, which may help protect cultural heritage monuments.

The tombs in question are the catacombs of Saint Callistus, which are part of a massive graveyard that covers 15 hectares, equivalent to more than 20 football pitches.

The underground tombs were built at the end of the 2nd Century AD and were named after Pope Saint Callistus I. More than 30 popes and martyrs are buried in the catacombs.

“Bacteria can grow on the walls of these underground tombs and often cause damage,” said Professor Dr Clara Urzi from the University of Messina in Italy.

Washington, September 25 : Scientists at the Science and Technology Facilities Council in the UK have developed a cloud radar system that measures the individual layers of clouds, which will help predict the weather more accurately.

The Cloud Radar will not only allow forecasters to predict the weather more precisely, the information gathered will also enable aircraft pilots to judge more accurately whether it is safe to take off and land in diverse weather conditions, offering a powerful safety capability for civil airports and military air bases.
