Brazil Independence Day 2018
Brazil National Day 2018.
Today Brazil celebrates its independence with parties and parades. In local communities in North and South America, people can be found enjoying traditional food and drink—such as shrimp ceviche or the bean and pork stew feijoada washed down with a caipirinha—and swaying to the rhythms of samba music.
The epicenter of the festivities is the capital city, Brasília. Some 30,000 citizens gather as a military parade passes through the Esplanade of Ministries, which features some of the best known works of Oscar Niemeyer – the modernist architect who created striking buildings all over Brasília, often in collaboration with public artist Athos Bulcão. The Esplanade of Ministries includes some of Niemeyer's most striking designs, including the Metropolitan Cathedral, a crown made of 16 curved columns.
The streets of Brasilia are a great place to spend the national holiday. In smaller cities families grab a snack at a street cart, watch the local parade, and enjoy the fireworks.
Happy National Day, Brazil!

Missed of August - 31.08.2018 (3) - 85th Anniversary of the Biskupin Settlement Discovery
On " 31.08.2018 " - Leading a group of students across some marshy fields 90 kilometers northeast of Poznan, Poland, school teacher Walenty Szwajcer noticed some fragments of pottery and wooden poles. The water levels had gone down that summer. At first he believed them to be the roofs of sunken houses, but what he discovered 85 years ago today was actually a window into a lost world.
The oak and fir poles were part of a fortified settlement dating from the Iron Age, around 780 B.C. Its builders had lived on the Biskupin peninsula raising sheep, goats, pigs, cattle and tarpan horses. The site was so well-preserved that Biskupin would soon be nicknamed “the Polish Pompeii.” The teacher would received numerous accolades from the Polish government for his extraordinary discovery, which is celebrated in today’s Doodle.
Eminent archaeologist Józef Kostrzewski, who began the excavation of Biskupin in 1933, uncovered streets, more than 100 houses, a breakwater and the palisades that protected the settlement. The sophistication of the settlement’s architecture transformed our understanding of the Iron Age, winning Biskupin a place in scholarly articles and textbooks, even today.
In later excavations, teams of conservationists meticulously recovered more than 5 million artifacts dating from the Paleolithic Age to the Middle Ages. Objects made of bronze, stone, and iron provide crucial insights into the lives of the people who lived there centuries ago. Biskupin remains one of the most important historic sites in Europe, demonstrating the accomplishments of early Lusatian culture.
A museum there welcomes more than 150,000 visitors a year, many of whom first learned of Biskupin in classrooms and an annual festival keeps the history of this ancient settlement alive.
