UGANDA DISCOVERS GOLD DEPOSIT WORTH MORE THAN $12 TRILLION
Uganda's recent discovery of significant gold ore deposits, potentially containing over 320,000 tonnes of refined gold, could transform the country's economy and place it among the world's top gold producers. This discovery, valued at over $12 trillion, is expected to boost gold exports, create jobs, and attract global investment.
While there are high hopes for the Wagagai plant's boost to gold production, some social issues like displacement and infrastructure challenges remain in the affected regions
📜 The Oldest Bible on Earth Was Written on Goat Skin
Long before printing presses, before leather-bound covers and gilded pages…
There was this.
An ancient Ethiopian Bible, handwritten on delicate sheets of goat skin nearly 1,600 years ago. 🐐✍️
Crafted in the early 5th century, it’s believed to be the oldest and most complete illustrated Christian Bible in existence.
Its ink has faded, its edges worn by time — but the stories remain. Vivid. Sacred. Alive.
Unlike European manuscripts of the same era, this one speaks in Ge'ez, the ancient liturgical language of Ethiopia. It reflects a Christianity untouched by Rome — shaped instead by African heritage, desert faith, and enduring devotion. 🌍⛪
Every page is a reminder that Christianity didn’t begin in Europe.
It took root in many corners of the world — and in Ethiopia, it bloomed with color, courage, and quiet brilliance.
Not just a book.
A living memory.
A testament.
A treasure.
Elon Musk took a joke coin with a Shiba Inu mascot and turned it into a conversation about decentralized currency, innovation, space travel — and yes, Saving America.
Only in America could a meme become a mission to the moon and Making America Great Again.
Hats off to Elon for making DOGE the most entertaining economics lesson in human history. 🚀
