MAMMOTH DIMA
The mammoth had twenty-seven pounds of undigested food in its stomach: spruce cones, larch and pine branches, sedge, wild thyme, various flowers and two kinds of moss.
There is still no answer as to the cause of its instant death. It froze with the food inside, which had not had time to decompose.
Science says the mammoth fell through a crack in the glacier. But where on the glacier did he find so much green?

CRIPTEX
A cryptex was a cylinder made up of rotating disks of letters. By arranging the letters in a certain order, the cryptex could be opened and a secret message could be retrieved from the center of the cylinder. If an attempt was made to crack the "cipher machine", the flask of vinegar contained inside would break and the acid would destroy the paper. The cryptex was recreated for the movie The Da Vinci Code from Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings.

ANCIENT REFRIGERATORS
Persian engineers by 400 B.C. had developed the technique of storing ice in the summer in the desert. In winter, the Persian people would bring ice from the nearby mountains and store it in vaults created in the middle of the desert.
These storages, called yakhchal, were some of the oldest refrigerators. They were also used to keep food cool and fresh during the hot summers.
At a glance, the structures look like large dome-shaped structures made of raw brick. Some of them were up to 18 meters high. Underneath the dome was a large underground space with warehouses. This space was connected to a wind trap, which helped to reduce the temperature to low levels during the summer
