What a wonderful gift that keeps on giving. David Whitcomb purchased a building in Geneva, New York in December 2020 with the intention of using it primarily as a legal office. It wasn’t until he and a friend started exploring his new home that they uncovered a hidden attic filled of precious, historical antique items. The attic was not listed in the home’s documents because it had not been used in decades. The attic turned out to be the former studio of James Hale, a historically noteworthy photographer. Whitcomb discovered authentic prints of photographs of historical figures such as Susan B. Anthony in the workstation.

The Amazon is the world’s largest jungle, and it is home to over 4,700 different animal species as well as a plethora of secrets. There have been discoveries in the Amazon that defy scientific explanation. One of these unique discoveries is the Amazon Rings. Aerial photography revealed circular circles pressed into the Amazonian environment. These rings, according to the researchers, predate the rainforest itself. Because it is doubtful that ancient peoples created these rings because it would harm the Amazon, the history behind these remarkable features remains unknown for the time being.
