00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media. Hey there on Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:12,519
good news stories. A discovery in the Netherlands may have

3
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:17,719
solved one of history's more romantic mysteries. Human remains were

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,239
found beneath the church. They are believed to belong to

5
00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:24,120
Charles Debats to Castlemore. You may know him as d'Artagnan.

6
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:28,320
That's right, one of the three Musketeers. d'Artagnan served King

7
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:31,120
Louis the fourteenth and was killed in sixteen seventy three,

8
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:33,200
but for more than three hundred and fifty years, no

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,359
confirmed burial site had ever been found. The skeleton was

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:39,560
found beneath the Saint Peter and Paul Church. The deacon

11
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:41,520
was curious about what was under a section of some

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,159
damaged floor tiles. After spotting what appeared to be a

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,159
hidden wall, the deacon started to investigate. He called in

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,439
an archaeologist. Soon they found human remains. The deacon told

15
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:53,799
the BBC, we became quite silent when we found the

16
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:56,280
first bone. He was buried on sacred ground below where

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,039
the altar was. We found the bullet to put an

18
00:00:58,119 --> 00:00:59,719
end to his life, and we found a coin from

19
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:01,920
six exteen sixteen. His grave and it was from the

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,719
bishop who attended mass for the roy solel. A spokesperson said,

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,560
whether these skeletal remains can actually be attributed to the

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,040
musketeer d'Artagnan must be determined by the DNA research currently

23
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:17,319
being conducted in Munich. d'Artagnan was a real historical figure.

24
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:19,640
He was captain of the Musketeers of the Guard, a

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,519
close ally of the king, and a man who died

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,760
in battle, long before fiction transformed him into a legend.

27
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:28,920
You like to travel, you might be interested in this

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,040
new hotel in Japan. Guests are greeted not by a clerk,

29
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:36,359
but by a robot, and not just a robot dinosaur,

30
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:40,840
and the robot dinosaur speaks multiple languages. I'm intrigued, a

31
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:43,719
social media influencer said, book this day, not knowing I'd

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,280
be checked in by dinosaurs and low key, I was terrified.

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,079
It was eight pm, I was exhausted after a flight,

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,480
and I had a walk from the train station and

35
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:52,959
pitch dark to get here. Then these prehistoric receptionists welcome me,

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,400
and I was like, whoa. But Annalyn, the social media

37
00:01:56,439 --> 00:01:59,200
influencer says, but real talk. They were somehow more polite

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,239
than the human sign. The check in was smooth, and

39
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:04,239
this place is super clean and quirky in the best way.

40
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:09,639
The Henna Resort on Spot Kansai Airport offers ocean views,

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,280
themed rooms including Ninja and pirate designs, and facilities such

42
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:16,479
as indoor and open air bats, a mineral miss sauna,

43
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:19,199
and a dry sauna. The restaurant is under the supervision

44
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:22,280
of a Michelin one star chef. Nice shop by some

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,599
termites in Brazil. They've spent thousands of years building something

46
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,159
so big it can be seen from space. The termites

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,520
create earthen mounds known as Marundez. Researchers estimate there may

48
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,479
be as many as two hundred million of the mounds,

49
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:38,560
some standing around seven feet tall and stretching thirty feet across.

50
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Scientists now think the mounds are not actually homes. They

51
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:45,159
function more like waste dumps for a huge underground network

52
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:48,680
of termite tunnels and colonies spread across the landscape. The

53
00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:50,960
soil in that part of Brazil is dry and poor

54
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:54,360
for forming. That's helped preserve the structures for centuries. Some

55
00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:57,719
might be four thousand years old. The true scale of

56
00:02:57,759 --> 00:03:00,759
the mounds became clear once satellite imagery revealed just how

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,400
enormous and uniform the pattern was from above. Stephen Martin

58
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,360
is with the University of Salford, and he said, I

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,719
looked on Google Earth and realized they're everywhere in this area,

60
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,360
but I could find nothing about them online. It's like

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,800
as if all the supermarkets were open for one day

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,680
a year to see the termites have an annual feeding day.

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,159
The person with the fastest car would get the most food.

64
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:20,719
You need a network of roads to get to the

65
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:22,879
supermarket as quickly as you can, because you're an open

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,080
competition with other colonies. Why only once a year? They

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,599
don't know? Mister Martin said, we don't know of any

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,000
termite species that hybername, but maybe they do. If you're

69
00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:34,400
in England, keep an eye out for a cappa bara

70
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,159
named Samba. Samba escape from the Marwell Zoo shortly after

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,639
arriving at said zoo. Samba is a nine month old

72
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,800
Capa Bara. It had just been transferred from Jimmy's Farm

73
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,080
and Wildlife Park. A second Capo bara, Tango, also got out,

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,759
but Tango was recovered, Samba still among the missing. Claudie

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,919
was walking her dog and told the BBC. I thought

76
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:57,759
it was a deer. You don't usually see a cape

77
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:00,719
bara on your walks. That was the last known sighting

78
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:03,360
at the time of this recording. ZOOS staff have been

79
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,479
trying to locate Samba using thermal drones. Laura Reed is

80
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,439
the chief executive officer of Marwell Wildlife and set the

81
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:12,639
camp of Bars the size of a small to medium dog,

82
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,879
not as big as a spaniel, light brown, but not

83
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:18,160
fully grown. She's only nine months old. We strongly advise

84
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:20,920
approaching Samba or disturbing any area she may be hiding

85
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:23,920
in to prevent causing her stress. Under no circumstances should

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,279
a member of the public trying to recapture Samba by themselves.

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,439
And have you burned your socks? Well, that's what they

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,079
do in Annapolis. It's an annual festival with Charles, hundreds

89
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:37,399
of people. This started back in nineteen seventy seven, during

90
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:40,120
one of the coldest seasons. They had the bay froze

91
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,959
over and a local sailor got so fed up with

92
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:43,600
the cold weather he decided he was going to take

93
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,879
his socks off and burn them. Bob Turner is credited

94
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:50,360
with starting the tradition. According to Baltimore magazine. Turner found

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,639
two things unbearable, winter and wearing socks. He said, I'm

96
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,800
not putting them on again until next winter. Others say

97
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,680
the annual festival is really just an excuse to drink,

98
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,600
but I hold it around sock burning and bringing out

99
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,360
the old and ringing in the new, and you've got

100
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,199
a good party. It sounds like fun. And those are

101
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:07,199
your five good news stories for today. Have a good day.
