A govenors palace was found in Turkey

There were four archaeologists lead by Dr. Dirk Wicke were in the middle of an international rescue exavation project in Turkey, and found parts of an old govenors palace. They said that it must be a palace from around the 9th to 7th centry B.C. It took them about two months to discover the ruins on a Ziyaret Tepe. That is the type of design that the palace was. I think that it is pretty cool that the people found a Neo Assyian govenor palace. They even said that it was an extraordinary discovery. I couldn't agree more with them about how cool it is. That is pretty cool of them to find a palace.

How a lack of vitamin D can cause Parkinson's disease

Did you know that a lack in vitamin D may lead to Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is a disease that makes it so that you can't stop shaking. This is a very serious disease. Between the years of 1992, and 2007 100 of the elderly with Parkinson's, Alzheimers, and perfect health were examined to see if their disease may have been started by a vitamin D deficiency. The studies clearly showed that 23% of the people with Parkinson's disease had it, 16% Alzheimers, 10%, perfect health. I personally think that this data had to be worth the time, and effert because with this information we might be able to find a cure to Parkinson's disease once, and for all.
