The National Museum of Brazil has just been engulfed in flames.

After nearly 200 years of existence, the museum is now in ashes.

It's truly a loss of ancient history.

So far its saying lack of government funding might be the factor to it.

Wow, that is incredibly sad. Such a beautiful building with so many precious artifacts.

Is that a large courtyard in the center? You'd think with a space between sides of the building like that might help, but that top photo... Can't imagine how fast it must have spread down the halls like crazy.

That is terrible. I hope that people were able to get as many of the key pieces out as possible - the kind of stuff that they kept in drawers back in research rooms and offices, out of display.

The Amazonian Rainforest is currently engulfing in flames.

It's been a tragic couple of years for wildlife, humanlife, and Earth.

For the record, Brazil now have a president who's pretty much the Trump version of their own as well.
