Big wooden circle discovered, just few kilometres away from Stonehenge


Last year the main pages of the mediums were inundated with discovering on giant circle structure, about five times bigger than Stonehenge, just 3.2 kilometres on north-east from Stonehenge - that the scientists called it "Super Stonehenge".

In that time, the scientists discovered something that they considered to be 90 stone monoliths buried Neolitic settlement called "Durington Walls", but further researches showed that the huge "Super Stonehenge" is actually made of wood. For some reason it was quickly buried.

Scientists are still filling in the gaps, but consider that this excavation could be evidence of violent religious and political climate at the time of construction - about 4,500 years ago.

Superhenge for first time was discovered with geophysical surveying instead of a real excavation, which proved huge monoliths buried in a circular structure about 500 meters in diameter. The picture below is presented as it might seem.


But now, after having made a real excavations, they have not found any evidence of stone slabs, but they found some 120 large pits that were probably placed trees. Till now are excavated only two containing evidence of trees that have been vertically raised and removed at some stage of construction.

What is particularly surprising about the locality is that the circle was never completed, because it seems that shortly before it was ended, someone uprooted the wooden columns and hastily buried the holes. The circular structure that today can be seen seems to have been built to bury it underneath, that suggests a new mode that literally wanted to bury the past.


Archaeologists also found a tool - a shovel that was buried at the bottom of the hole.

Further researches are needed, and the excavation of a much larger number of such pits for researchers to be able to submit their hypothesis about what they think that really happened. It's possible that the locality reflect the passage of Great Britain from the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age.


The stone blocks are found in Neolithic locality known as Darlington walls and date back more than 4,500 years ago and they are found buried less than a meter in the ground. Scientists in the UK currently use scanning technology to create an underground map of the area.


Till now there are identified 30 stones that reach up to 4.5 m. together with fragments or bases in 60 other stones. Considering the size, archaeologists called this Super Stonehenge area, suggesting that it could be five times larger than Stonehenge. They believe that was built at the same time as Stonehenge, and perhaps earlier.

The results are published in the British Science Festival at the University of Bradford.

The Latest WhatsApp Update For iPhone Brings Voicemail Feature

Recently, the world’s most popular instant messaging app, WhatsApp added basic formatting including bold, italic and strike-through to text messages, as well as a hidden font and Olympic-themed emoji.

Now, WhatsApp has officially rolled out its voicemail feature to its iPhone app after it appeared in the beta version of Android last month. WhatsApp for iPhone v2.16.8 lists the new feature in the change log of its App Store listing.

The Facebook-owned company describing the feature said, “When placing a WhatsApp call, you now quickly leave a voice message if your call isn’t answered, just like voicemail.”

In the new update, if your contacts are unable to take your call, it will be able to leave a voicemail for one of your contacts. If your WhatsApp call goes unanswered or is rejected, you now have the option to leave a voice message by holding down the new Voice Message button.
Once you have finished recording your message, just lift your finger from the screen and the voice message will be sent to your contact. This will appear in your active WhatsApp conversation with the caller.
Further, if you wish to cancel the voice mail message, you just need to slide your finger to the left. However, please note that as of now, there is no way of listening to your message after you have recorded it.
WhatsApp uses the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), which allows its users make calls to contacts worldwide, making it much cheaper than traditional landline communication.
So, how do you use the feature? Try placing a WhatsApp call. If the intended recipient declines or ignores the call, users will be presented with three options – Voice Message, Call Again, and Cancel. Yes, the same options were visible in the WhatsApp for Android beta app last month – with minor differences, it said “Call back” and “Record voice message” on Android.
As before, the Cancel option closes the new screen that users see after a call is ignored or declined. The Call Again option lets users call back the person who just cut or ignored their call. Voice Message, as we mentioned, works just like a regular voice message – users have to hold to record, and once they are done, the message will be shown in the chat conversation between users and their recipients just like a voice message. It’s not yet known when the feature will roll out to users of the public Android app.
The hugely-successful messenger is also testing out the ability to make video calls, similar to Facebook Messenger, Skype or FaceTime. Currently, video calls are being tested in a beta version available on Android.
Among the other rumoured new features that are expected to be released in the near future include the option for users to send GIFs to each other.
The latest WhatsApp update on iOS is available to download from the App Store.

5 most dangerous computer viruses of all time

Computer viruses can be dreadful that might cause extensive damage to your innocent device. It can significantly disrupt your system’s performance and has the potential to wipe out everything on your hard disk.


So, what is a computer virus? A computer virus is a malware program that, when executed, replicates by inserting copies of itself (possibly modified) into other computer programs, data files, or the boot sector of the hard drive. When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be “infected”, making your device helpless and sick.
Also, ever since people could write code there have been individuals known as hackers who have sought to make that code malicious in nature. While some pranksters created virus-like programs for large computer systems, it was really the introduction of the personal computer that brought computer viruses to the public’s attention.
Computer viruses have inundated the computer user for a long time now. Here are five most dangerous computer viruses of all time:

1. ILOVEYOU

This was perhaps the most dangerous computer virus ever created that in the form of a worm — it was a standalone program capable of replicating itself. Known as ILOVEYOU, this virus initially traveled the Internet by e-mail and managed to crash PCs all across the world. To make it even more alluring, the subject of the e-mail said that the message was a love letter from a secret admirer. An attachment in the e-mail was what caused all the trouble. The original worm had the file name of LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs. The moment someone opened the file, the virus emailed itself to the first 50 contacts available in the PC’s Windows address book. The virus caused a total damage of around $10 billion affecting almost 10% of the world’s PCs connected to the Internet.

2. Melissa

Melissa was the first mass-mailing macro virus for the new age of e-mailing which became the breaking news across the world on March 26, 1999. Based on a Microsoft Word macro and built by David L, Melissa was spread in the form of an email attachment by the name “list.doc.” When the attachment was clicked upon, the virus replicates itself and seeks for the Microsoft Outlook address book to e-mail itself to the first 50 names on the list with a message, “Here is that document you asked for…don’t show anyone else. ;-)” Later on, FBI arrested David L and slapped him with a fine of $5000 for unleashing the fastest virus of its time.

3. My Doom

My Doom explored its way to the malware world on 26th January 2004 and sent a shockwave around the world, as it scattered exponentially via e-mail through email with random addresses of senders and subject lines. My Doom destroyed the cyber world by activating a tremendous denial of service attack that infected close to about two million PCs. It transmitted itself in a particularly deceitful manner through e-mail as what receiver would first reckon to be a bounced error message as it reads “Mail Transaction Failed.” But, as soon as the message is clicked upon, the attachment is executed and the worm is transferred to email addresses found in the user’s address book. The damage caused by this fastest-spreading mass mailer worm was a whopping $38 billion.

4. Code Red

It debuted in late 2001 taking advantage of the Microsoft Internet Information Server’s flaw. The variations of the virus plagued the Internet for several months. The interesting thing about this deadly virus is, it did not require you to open an e-mail attachment or run a file; it just required an active Internet connection with which it ruined the Web page that you opened by displaying a text “Hacked by Chinese!” And in less than a week’s time, “Code Red” brought down more than 400,000 servers including the White House web server. This virus caused a total damage of approximately $2.6 billion dollars by hitting almost one million PCs.

5. Sasser

The 2004 worm virus affected Windows OS primarily, and was devastating to many critical infrastructures. It didn’t spread through e-mail unlike other viruses. Instead, once the virus infected a computer, it looked for other vulnerable systems. It contacted those systems and instructed them to download the virus. The virus would scan random IP addresses to find potential victims. The virus also altered the victim’s operating system in a way, making it even hard to reset without cutting the power. Sasser functioned by attacking the security controller Local Security Authority Subsystem Service, as it had a buffer overflow vulnerability. The worm affected hospitals, public transportation, airlines, news agencies and much more. After one million infections, there was an estimated 18 billion dollars in damage recorded.
