ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Enigmático Mensaje parte 2.


Elena y Martín, cada vez más intrigados por el enigmático mensaje y los extraños sucesos que ocurrían en el pueblo, decidieron profundizar en la leyenda del tesoro escondido. Visitaron a la anciana más longeva del pueblo, Doña Carmen, quien, con una voz temblorosa pero llena de sabiduría, les relató una versión más detallada de la leyenda.

Según Doña Carmen, el tesoro no era solo oro y joyas, sino un objeto de gran poder que había sido ocultado en las profundidades del mar para proteger a la humanidad de fuerzas oscuras. Aquellos que intentaran apoderarse del tesoro se verían afectados por una maldición.

Armados con esta nueva información, Elena y Martín se adentraron en los archivos municipales en busca de mapas antiguos y documentos que pudieran llevarlos hasta el tesoro. Descubrieron un mapa náutico, amarillento por el paso del tiempo, con una X marcada en un punto específico del océano.

Convencidos de que habían encontrado la clave, alquilaron una pequeña embarcación y se dirigieron hacia el lugar indicado en el mapa. Sin embargo, al llegar al punto marcado, no encontraron nada más que agua. Desanimados, pero no dispuestos a rendirse, decidieron sumergirse con equipos de buceo para explorar el fondo marino.

The Enigmatic Message part 2

Tea and the Industrial RevolutionA Cambridge professor says that a change in drinking habits was the reason for the Industrial Revolution in Britain. Anjana Abuja reports

A    

Alan Macfarlane, professor of anthropological science at King’s College, Cambridge has, like other historians, spent decades wrestling with the enigma of the Industrial Revolution. Why did this particular Big Bang – the world-changing birth of industry-happen in Britain? And why did it strike at the end of the 18th century?

B     

Macfarlane compares the puzzle to a combination lock. ‘There are about 20 different factors and all of them need to be present before the revolution can happen,’ he says. For industry to take off, there needs to be the technology and power to drive factories, large urban populations to provide cheap labour, easy transport to move goods around, an affluent middle-class willing to buy mass-produced objects, a market-driven economy and a political system that allows this to happen. While this was the case for England, other nations, such as Japan, the Netherlands and France also met some of these criteria but were not industrialising. All these factors must have been necessary. But not sufficient to cause the revolution, says Macfarlane. ‘After all, Holland had everything except coal while China also had many of these factors. Most historians are convinced there are one or two missing factors that you need to open the lock.’

C and D parts will be added below.
