This image powerfully encapsulates the bond between South America and Italy, bridging two worlds that share a deep agricultural heritage. Corn (or maize) itself originates from the Americas, a staple of Indigenous peoples, brought to Europe during the Columbian Exchange. In Italy, it became polenta, a symbol of peasant sustenance and tradition. The withered husk and vibrant kernels seem to whisper stories of the Andes, where maize has grown for millennia, and the rural Italian countryside, where it found new roots. It’s as if the photograph carries ancestral knowledge—a connection between the Inca terraces and the Italian terra, united by the golden thread of corn. This reverence for the land, the respect for harvest, and the continuity of tradition are universal, yet deeply personal, resonating across cultures and time. It’s a visual ode to the simplicity and resilience of those who work the land, an intimate glimpse into the shared soul of two distant yet kindred worlds.

So what is the go-to green gemstone now catching the eye of major houses and independent brands alike? Chrysoprase. The stone, which ranges from a very pale green tint to the color of a Granny Smith apple, has a Greek name (pronounced KRAI-sow-prayz) that translates loosely as “green gold.” The most important commercial mines are in Marlborough, a region in Australia’s Queensland state, and in central Tanzania, but deposits also have been found in Western Australia, Kazakhstan, Poland, Brazil and Indonesia.

have investigated Neolithic dolmen structures, and found distinct similarities between these ancient stone structures. Found, at Anta du Barrosa, Portugal, is a dolmen structure, which dates to ~4,000 BC. And, then there is Mystery Hill, found near Salem, NH. The variance in latitude between these two sites is 01.0184° and it spans the Atlantic Ocean. Even today’s surveyors would be satisfied with this degree of variance. And, this surely proves, that all the majority of the Neolithic dolmen structures, were erected by the descendants of Göbekli Tepe. The Mystery Hill site has been radio carbon dated to ~2,000 BC.

Renowned Cave Explorer, Bill Stone gives a fascinating presentation for GUEtv based around if/when A.I. will replace Cave Divers. There are some parts of cave exploration that remain either too risky, or too expensive for cave divers to reach. However that doesn't mean that these places need to remain unreachable (at least not for us). Will there actually be a rise in the use of A.I. to reach these previously unreachable parts of caves? Bill Stone shares all of this.
