A recent study by experts from the USA describes the increased detection of lung, uterine and gastrointestinal cancers in young people. As it is specified, young people are prone to premature ageing. And the situation worsens with each subsequent generation.

In addition to oncology, young patients are more often diagnosed with type II diabetes, obesity, heart and vascular diseases, which is also a consequence of accelerated ageing.

According to experts, this is caused, among other things, by vaping, as nicotine breaks down collagen and accelerates the appearance of wrinkles. Although it should be noted that many representatives of older generations from a young age started smoking, and conventional cigarettes contain more nicotine than electronic cigarettes.

For a long time it was believed that tattoos were the only form of permanent modification in Scandinavia of that period, but in recent years researchers have found signs of two other practices of body modification characteristic of the Viking Age, which were the filing of teeth and artificial deformation of skulls.

It is noted that the homeland of most of the samples found by scientists, including skulls, is the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. Although both of these forms of body modification have attracted attention from various cultural aspects, the social element of these practices has not been studied to date.

The researchers emphasised that the way the wall was built left no doubt about the Roman origin of the find. In addition, its dimensions and the way the foundations were built are different from the techniques used in the Middle Ages. The wall itself dates back to the 3rd century A.D. The length of the discovered segment is about 7 metres and the width is 90 centimetres. The full length of the structure is unknown, but experts assume that it was built in the form of a ring to protect the city, and in addition, it has several gates.
