Rock around the world: Metamorphic, Igneous and Sedimentary

 Hello everyone,

There are three main types of rock and all the land is made of the them: metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary.

Did you know that Romans used as projectiles an igneous rock called "andesita", which they brought from Carthage Nova, during the destruction of Ákra Leuké at the end of the 3rd centrury BC, coinciding with the final stages of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthago.

The devastion of Akrá Leuké is dated to the same time as the campaign of Publios Cornelius Scipio against Quart Hadsht.

Brazil's Passinho Dance: Cultural Heritage Status.

 Hello everyone:

Do you like dancing? If you are good at dancing, you should try "Passinho dance".

This ance comes from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. This style is recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Brazil. 

 Watch this "Batalha de passinho".

Passinho, which combines elements of break, frevo, samba and capoeira, was created in the 2000s and has now been officially recognised as an intangible cultural heritage of the state.

This style of dance brought dancers together in one place where they showcased their choreography. Passinho, which combines elements of break, frevo, samba and capoeira, was created in the 2000s and has now been officially recognised as an intangible cultural heritage of the state.

The project was initiated by Brazilian official Veronica Lima, who highlighted its importance, arguing that this recognition will help raise awareness of this important cultural movement and contribute to the decriminalisation of funk and other artistic expressions performed by young people from the peripheral areas. This is reported by Brasil 247, a partner of TV BRICS.

It is important to note that passinho originated in dances where performers would gather and show off their choreography, which fostered competition between them and the spread of this dance in the different communities of Rio de Janeiro.
