Natural Wonders of the World

For episode 64 on travel, we are diving into the 7 natural wonders of the world! Go on a journey  with us to all corners of the globe. We talk about commonly known ones like Mount Everest, the Grand Canyon, and the Great Barrier Reef, but did you know about Parícutin, a cone volcano that just appeared one day in a corn farmer’s field in Mexico? There are some great stories behind the Northern Lights as well based on ancient cultures’ perceptions of them. For the nature lovers, take a listen to decide where your next vacation will take you and when the best time to go is! We got this list at Planetware.

In language news, researchers are training AI to learn Cuneiform in order to translate an Akkadian tablet from about 4,000 years ago!

Thanks to ZME Science for this fascinating article!
