I woke up this morning reading a very shocking news. The Natural History Museum or known as the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which was founded in 1818 was hit by massive fire on Sunday. A collection of more than 20 million artifacts of dinosaur bones, mummies, meteorites, insects, fossils, including a 12,000-year-old human skeleton of a woman, the oldest ever found in Americas.
I felt so sad that a national museum was destroyed in such unfortunate event. I was even planning to visit Brazil one day and I love to visit museums, and to know that the national museum is destroyed in fire is aching deep down my heart.
It is not only a loss to Brazil but it's a loss to all mankind when artifacts, fossils, and many other important valuable collection are destroyed as these items could never be replaced or bought again. The cause of fire and losses are not known yet at the moment.
