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

*Papenbrook* · 09-03-2018, 06:32 AM

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

It's truly a loss of ancient history.

*Powder* · 09-03-2018, 06:53 AM

Wow, that's absolutely awful.

*newfan* · 09-03-2018, 06:58 AM

Just seen it pop up on the net, real shame. Wonder what caused it.

Its kinda show you how despite how old some of these artifacts are one screw up can pretty much end 200 years worth of education.

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.

So sad! Irreplaceable pieces of history. How the fire started?

*IMJ* · 10-10-2018, 11:45 AM

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.

Sad thing is US politicians are trying to blame it on climate change while the Brazillian govt is like no....we started it to make room for stuff.

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