This video tells a marvelous story about the mysteries of the Pacific Ocean and its creatures through a series of wonderful images and subtitles.The video opens with a backdrop of fast-moving objects, promotional advertisements, and ocean views to introduce the theme that the Pacific Ocean is full of magic and mystery.The beauty and mystery of the Pacific Ocean is then further emphasized by showing scenes of beaches, whales in the ocean, transparent schools of fish, and underwater coral reefs.The video then turns to the creatures of the sea, specifically sea turtles.A series of images shows the process of a sea turtle coming up from the water, laying its eggs on the beach, and the hatching of its young.The video mentions that 500,000 female olive ridley turtles come to this beach every year to lay their eggs, and some of them even travel halfway across the Pacific Ocean.Sea turtles dig holes in the beach to lay their eggs, and each nest contains at least a hundred eggs, but not all of them hatch.The video also mentions that predators such as American black cat turtles and dingoes eat some of the eggs, but that this "predation saturation" helps to protect more of the hatchlings.Next, the video explores how sea turtles navigate the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.Although the sea is a uniform blue color for humans, for marine life it is filled with all sorts of signs and signposts.The video shows creatures such as dolphins, whales and sharks moving through the ocean, suggesting that they may have GPS-like navigation capabilities.The video also mentions that sharks can navigate by sensing weak electric fields and the Earth's magnetic field, which allows them to find their way through the vast ocean.Finally, the video shows the volcanic eruptions and ecological wonders in the ocean on the Maltese island of Columbia.The area attracts large numbers of hammerhead sharks, which scientists suspect may use the geomagnetic field as a navigation tool.The video showcases the diversity and mystery of the Pacific Ocean through a series of breathtaking underwater landscapes and biological activity, emphasizing the survival intelligence of marine life and the wonders of the natural world.Overall, the video vividly depicts the magnificent landscape and biodiversity of the Pacific Ocean through rich images and subtitles, revealing the mysteries of the survival of marine life and presenting viewers with a marvelous journey deep into the mysteries of the ocean.[00:10:00->00:20:00] In the video, a group of sea turtles swim leisurely in the clear blue water, and the sunlight spills dappled light through the water, outlining their elegant silhouettes.The scene switches to a diver exploring underwater with a flash in his hand, illuminating the mystery and beauty of the underwater world.He unraveled a scientific mystery at a depth of nearly 20 meters: here lies another mystery of the Pacific Ocean.The camera pulls away as a drone flies over the sea, capturing a magnificent view of the ocean and its surroundings.The scene then focuses on a Scuba diver, dressed in a wetsuit and holding a flash, who is scrutinizing the underwater world.In 1995, just off the bottom of the sea off Japan, divers discovered a set of exquisite patterns that not only fascinated, but also led to much speculation and research.In the video, the sunlight sprinkles on the sand, and a sunny flower blooms in the center of the sand, as if it were alone and beautiful in the desert.The camera then pans to the sand on the beach and the camera captures the details of the sand, including its structure, color and texture.A small animal moves slowly across the sand, seemingly exploring the world around it.These patterns appear and disappear under the action of the water flow, showing the marvelous and changing nature.The video continues deeper into the ocean floor, showing a beautiful coral reef surrounded by colorful sea creatures that make up a vibrant ecosystem.The diver's footage reveals another wonder of the seabed: on the sand, a small fish is diligently collecting fine sand to build a nest for its mate.This is a difficult task, as fine sand needs to be constantly transported to the center of the nest to form a perfect circle.This 8-centimeter-long artist spent nearly a week without sleep trying to build a nest.During this time, it can't rest because the ever-changing tides will destroy its masterpiece.In the end, the nest reached a diameter of two meters, a stunning engineering triumph.The flow of water is slowed down and the fine sand is delivered to the center with precision, creating a perfect pattern.In the video, the female lays her eggs and swims away, never to return.But the male fish still guards his creation, providing fresh air to the eggs with oxygen-rich currents.When the eggs hatch, a new cycle of life and art will begin again.The video concludes by showing how, 16 years later, scientists have unraveled the mystery of these sand circles, which are just a drop of water in the vast Pacific Ocean.As the camera pans to stormy skies and beautiful sunsets, the video emphasizes the five mass extinctions in Earth's history, with life returning resiliently each time.The camera eventually returns to the beach to show an ancient marine animal, the swordtail fish.They have been around for 450 million years, have hard shells, and are related to chelicerates such as spiders and scorpions.These creatures scavenge the ocean floor for food, using their compound eyes and numerous photoreceptors to trace paths to the shoreline, where they mate and lay their eggs.The video concludes by showing the impact of industrialization on marine ecology, with many ancient species threatened with extinction.Set against a backdrop of waves lapping against rocks, the video calls for attention and protection of these creatures, which have survived multiple waves of extinction, from the irreversible damage caused by industrialization and pollution.[00:20:00->00:30:00] As the camera pans to a tranquil stretch of ocean, a large yacht sails slowly through the shimmering water, stirring up waves.Subtitles suggest that pollution and overfishing have destroyed this once-vibrant mating ground.The scene switches to a city skyline with a vast expanse of water in front of it, the sunlight spilling over the water and mapping the city's silhouette.However, behind this beautiful scene lies an ecological crisis.Next, the camera focuses on a building labeled "Academic Science Laboratory."The scientists were busy working in their labs, wearing lab coats and holding various instruments, as if they were conducting an important experiment.The subtitle reveals that it is a radical experiment to save an endangered species, but its success remains a mystery.The scene switches to a swordtail fish swimming lazily in the ocean, seemingly exploring its surroundings.The caption notes that swordtails are at great risk when they are exposed to harsh environments.The footage then shows a school of swordtails swimming through the aquarium, creating a stunning sight.The caption mentions that swordtails take about 12 years to go from juvenile to adult, during which time they barely move their shells and are therefore very vulnerable.The camera pans to a scientist in glasses and a white shirt using a microscope in a laboratory for research.The caption explains that during the first five days, swordtails are particularly vulnerable to predators.The image shows a school of swordtails swimming in a laboratory aquarium with ideal environmental conditions and plenty of food, which has led to a significant increase in their growth rate.After a year of careful care, these little swordtails are approaching the size of a five-year-old child.The scene switches again to the beach where a group of people are enjoying the beauty of nature.They walked along the beach and enjoyed the magnificent sight of the waves lapping against the rocks.The caption mentions that this is a safe shortcut to protect these young swordtails from outside threats.The camera then shows a group of scientists and schoolchildren releasing some young swordtails on the beach, and the children look very excited as they carefully release the tiny creatures back into the sea in the hope that they will thrive.The scene switches to a turtle sliding in the water, enjoying a peaceful moment.The caption mentions that these young swordtails are well cared for in the lab and don't waste energy searching for food, thus growing rapidly.The footage then shows a group of scientists continuing their research in a lab, focusing on every detail in an effort to find ways to preserve these ancient creatures.As the camera gradually pulls away, the image shows a beautiful beach with the sun shining on the sand and coconut trees gently swaying in the breeze.A group of children were playing on the beach, their laughter intertwined with the sound of the waves, creating a harmonious picture.The caption mentions that these young swordtails stay in shallow water for nearly a decade before becoming adults, until they are strong enough to move into deeper water.Finally, the image returns to a beautiful sunset over the ocean, with boats floating slowly in the water and the sun radiating a warm, calming glow in the background.The subtitle mentions that it remains an open question whether China can save this ancient relic from the threat of modernity, despite the great efforts of scientists.As the music plays, the scene fades out, leaving the audience with endless thoughts.[00:30:00->00:40:00]### Narrative description of current video content

The footage begins with a breathtaking natural landscape: a narrow canyon with a river winding through it, surrounded by green trees and mountains, as if it were a masterpiece crafted by nature.This video captures a breathtaking view of Lord Howe Island through aerial footage, a remote island that was not discovered by humans until 1788.Sunlight pours through the clouds on the mountains, adding a mysterious glow to this paradise of flowers.As the camera progresses, the image shows another side of Lord Howe's Island: a mountainous region surrounded by clouds, with green vegetation covering the hills in a vibrant forest.Seven million years ago, this island rose out of the ocean and became a unique ecosystem.This is emphasized by the subtitles in the video, which explain the history of the island's birth from the ocean.Next, the scene shifts to a dense forest, where tall trees look serene in the sunlight.The sunlight poured through the gaps in the leaves and spilled onto the ground, creating dappled light and shadows.This forest is not only a haven for plants, but also home to many unique creatures.The camera captures a small bird on a branch curiously exploring the world around it, its feathers shimmering in the sunlight.A flock of white birds then rested on the branches of a tree, and they seemed to be enjoying the peace and quiet.The video goes on to show other creatures on the island, including a large spider moving around on a spider's web, and a snake slithering on a plant leaf.Together, these organisms form a complex and delicate ecosystem.The camera also closes in on the details on the leaves, the green leaves gently swaying in the wind as if telling the mysteries of nature.Next, the video reveals one of the most unusual insects on Lord Howe Island - the stickleback, also known as the tree lobster.This insect is 15 centimeters long, heavy, dense, slow-moving, and does not eat much.Subtitles in the video explain their characteristics and that these unique creatures have been on the island for millions of years.However, a shipwreck in 1918 changed all that.Rats came to the island with the ship and they quickly spread through the forest, posing a huge threat to the island's creatures.The video shows rats moving around in a dark environment where they seem to be curious about everything around them.As the rats invaded, the island's creatures began to fade away.The subtitles in the video mention that the millions of years old creature disappeared in just two years, with the last recorded sighting in the 1920s.Nevertheless, rumors persist about the survival of these creatures.The video shows scientists exploring the pyramid of Bora, where they claim to have found the body of a recently deceased tree lobster.The footage also shows spectacular drone footage taken around the pyramids, hinting that the mysterious island may be hiding even more secrets.Eighty years later, two hikers rediscovered these tree lobsters in 2001.They were found clinging to rocks on a 65-meter-high cliff.The caption in the video mentions that these tree lobsters are very rare, with only 24 in number.However, through intensive breeding in zoos around the world, the eggs of these survivors have hatched thousands of offspring and the species has been saved.At the end of the video, the camera returns to a beautiful view of Lord Howe Island.A peaceful beach with waves gently lapping against the rocks and sunlight pouring over the sea creates a harmonious picture.The caption in the video mentions that despite the extremely low chances of tree lobsters surviving, their rebirth is as amazing as Lazarus coming back from the dead.The story of Lord Howe Island is not only a narrative of natural wonder, but also a reflection on human intervention and natural restoration.As the camera gradually pulls away, the video leaves the viewer in awe of nature and in deep thought about ecological conservation.[00:40:00->00:50:00] The camera slowly advances to show a Costa Rican beach, the sun blazing and the sand glistening golden in the hot sun.The video shows a baby sea turtle sliding slowly along the beach, seemingly looking for food.Fifty days later, life is born on this hot sandy beach as baby turtles take their first breaths and train their flippers.These young lives seem incredibly fragile, and every inch forward is a challenge.The scene switches to a close-up of a small sea turtle, its black carapace moving slowly across the sand, each step seemingly difficult.The baby turtles seem to be practicing how to use their flippers, an essential skill for their survival.In order to survive, they need to get to the sea, where their true home is.Suddenly, a bird's foot appears in the frame as it searches for food on the beach.The presence of the bird hints at the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the baby turtles.The camera continues to advance, showing a flock of birds walking through a desolate area, where they appear to be looking for prey.The birds swooped down and seemed to take an interest in the young turtles.Subtitles in the video emphasize that in order to survive, these baby turtles must go to the beach, but their fate meets them unawares on the sand.The camera switches to a group of baby turtles standing on the beach, they seem to be waiting for something.These little creatures seem both adorable and fragile, and their fate is especially critical at this moment.Suddenly, a flock of birds fly in and they swoop down, and the lives of the baby turtles become instantly precarious.The caption in the video mentions that the birds will surely feast on these little turtles whose fate seems sealed.However, the video doesn't stop at this scene, but moves on to another group of baby turtles.These baby turtles burrowed out of the sand and their lives reached their most dangerous moment at that moment.They need to find their way to the ocean quickly or risk falling prey to predators.The caption in the video mentions that less than 8 percent of the turtles will end up in the open ocean, but that's still not a small number.The camera pulls away to show a peaceful beach with waves gently lapping against the rocks and sunlight pouring over the sea, creating a harmonious picture.The caption in the video mentions that even though the chances of these baby turtles surviving are extremely low, their rebirth is as amazing as Lazarus coming back from the dead.Science is just beginning to understand these turtles, and their life course remains a mystery.Finally, the camera pans to a beautiful sunset over the ocean, with the sky filled with clouds and the sun giving off a warm, calming glow.The waves gently slid toward the shore as if they were telling the mysteries of nature.The subtitles in the video mention that between now and then, the lives of these baby turtles, like the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, remain a mystery.As the music plays, the scene fades out, leaving the audience with endless thoughts.[00:50:00->01:00:00] The camera first focuses on a turtle swimming lazily in clear water.The sunlight shed dappled light through the water, and the turtle seemed to be enjoying the quiet time.The caption suggests that these young turtles face great challenges as they grow up, especially the threat from crocodiles.The video mentions that less than one percent of crocodiles reach maturity, which makes it even tougher for turtles to survive.The camera switches to a crocodile moving slowly through the water.It appeared to be searching for prey and its facial expression appeared to be very focused.Subtitles in the video emphasize that if this crocodile can reach maturity, it will be a very promising predator.However, its future is uncertain, as only a very few crocodiles are able to overcome all the difficulties and eventually grow into powerful hunters.The scene continues to progress, showing a peaceful beach with waves gently lapping against the rocks and sunlight pouring over the sea, creating a harmonious picture.The group seemed very relaxed as they enjoyed the sun and water on the beach.The caption in the video mentions that these people seem to live a carefree life, but they may not realize that this seemingly calm sea hides many unknown dangers.The camera pans to a group of people swimming in the water, who seem to be enjoying the water.The caption in the video mentions that these people witnessed a rare migration while enjoying nature.This migratory journey is a life or death test for many marine creatures.Next, the image shows a close-up shot of a cocktail swimming in the water, which seems to be enjoying the tranquil waters.The subtitles in the video mention that these creatures can overcome much more than that in a single day, and they are able to complete journeys of up to 16 kilometers.The journey takes weeks, but their resilience and ability to adapt is amazing.The video goes on to show a crocodile swimming in the water, where it appears to be relaxing and enjoying the moment of tranquility.The caption mentions that although crocodiles are not designed to navigate continuously through swift currents, they are able to use ocean tides and currents to navigate.They give up and rest when the current is against them, a strategy that allows them to survive in the vastness of the ocean.The camera switches to a scene of a sea turtle swimming through a coral reef as it seems to explore the wonders of this underwater world.The subtitles in the video mention that many reptiles can stay awake while in a hemispheric state, with the left and right brains taking turns resting.This ability allows them to stay energized on long journeys.Next, the image shows a crocodile swimming in the water, its facial expression appearing very relaxed.The subtitles in the video mention that crocodiles can hold their breath for up to an hour, but prolonged immersion can be detrimental.The Australians call this phenomenon "persistent immersion", which causes salt to invade the crocodiles' bodies, but special glands on their tongues secrete excess salt to help them defend themselves against this threat.The camera ends up back at the beautiful beach with the sun pouring down on the sand, creating a serene image.The caption in the video mentions that even though the chances of these turtles surviving are extremely low, their rebirth is as amazing as Lazarus coming back from the dead.The life journeys of these creatures remain a mystery, and their future is full of unknown challenges and promise.As the camera gradually pulls away, the scene shows a tranquil sea where a large yacht sails slowly across the sparkling water, stirring up waves.The subtitle in the video mentions that how to preserve these ancient creatures remains an unsolved mystery despite the great efforts of scientists.As the music plays, the scene fades out, leaving the audience with endless thoughts.[01:00:00->01:10:00] The camera first focuses on a narrow canyon with a river meandering through it, surrounded by green trees and mountains, as if it were a masterpiece carefully carved by nature.The video captures a breathtaking view of Lord Howe Island through aerial footage, a remote island that was not discovered by humans until 1788.Sunlight pours through the clouds on the

mysteries of nature.The subtitles in the video mention that between now and then, the lives of these baby turtles, like the vastness of the Pacific Ocean, remain a mystery.As the music plays, the scene fades out, leaving the audience with endless thoughts.The next scene of the video begins with the face of a snake, which appears to be very alert as its eyes seem to stare directly into the camera.The camera quickly switches to a scene where the snake attacks and eats the chicken, the snake surrounds the body of the chicken and then slowly swallows the whole thing.The subtitles in the video mention that it takes the snake a few days to digest the food.The image then shows the snake slithering across the grass as if looking for its next prey.Even though the snakes have just eaten food, the captions in the video point out that they always have to make the most of every opportunity.To maximize the chances of devouring one to three birds, snakes can take multiple birds in quick succession.The camera continues to advance to show a snake climbing a tree, which appears to be looking for prey.The caption in the video mentions that snakes can devour one to three birds in quick succession, and that they are able to quickly seize the opportunity to secure a food supply.The scene switches again to show a snake spinning a small bird on a branch, which appears to be very small and has brown feathers.This video highlights the predatory strategies of snakes, which are able to take advantage of every favorable condition in their environment.Next, the video shows a snake in a cage with its mouth open, seemingly very hungry, trying to grab the bird in the cage.The subtitles in the video mention that snakes take a few days to digest their food, but they make the most of every opportunity to feed.The camera then pans to a beautiful view of a full moon shimmering in the sky.The subtitles in the video mention that with food, snakes don't hunt as often because they need time to digest.This phenomenon is very common among snakes on the island, as the abundant food supply allows them to feed in a short period of time.The video goes on to show the snakes slithering on branches as they seem to wait for their next opportunity to feed.The caption in the video mentions that for two weeks, the snakes will follow an established deadly order, going hunting at dawn and waiting for the birds to arrive.The scene shifts to a pair of birds walking in the branches of a tree, these birds are green and seem to be enjoying their time.Captions in the video emphasize that the snake goes hunting at dawn and waits for the birds to arrive.Finally, the video shows a beautiful sunset over the ocean, with the sky filled with vibrant colors and the sun's rays shimmering through the clouds, it's an exciting view.The caption in the video mentions that until the travelers return from their migration northward in the spring, the islanders have been well fed and are on the verge of entering a quiet period.They get to rest all winter until the travelers migrate back north in the spring.The video fades out, leaving the viewer not only in awe of the natural world, but also with a deep reflection on the interdependence of living things.[01:10:00->01:20:00] The camera first focuses on a stunning natural landscape: the surface of the rocks close by is covered in moss and lichen, and the vibrations of the camera reveal fascinating patterns and structures in the rocks.The subtitles in the video mention the life cycle of these organisms even under conditions that would kill most of them.Most organisms and these conditions are not strangers to each other, which hints at the resilience of nature.Next, the scene shifts to an eruption in a volcanic region, where the geodesic zephyr is surrounded by mountains and rocks, and the rising steam signals the raw power of the earth.The subtitles in the video emphasize that these conditions are not unfamiliar to most organisms, further emphasizing the adaptability of organisms and the Earth's variable environment.The camera switches to a stormy sky with dark clouds covering the landscape, the camera captures the movement of the clouds as they move slowly across the sky.The caption in the video mentions that about 4 billion years ago, the Earth was as unattractive as it is now, prompting thoughts about the Earth's early environment.The image then shows a group of people standing in the middle of a field surrounded by mountains; they seem to be enjoying the beautiful landscape and relaxing in the fresh air.The subtitles in the video mention that life on White Island 1 is very similar to poleophilic organisms, which hints at the survival strategies of organisms in extreme environments.The camera pans to a group of people taking a boat ride in the middle of the ocean, the water is crystal clear and the landscape is breathtaking.The caption in the video mentions that it may be a homecoming for the bacteria that survived the inferno, but it's also a homecoming for the larger animals.Larger animals have developed the same abilities as Allmountain Cake Island, demonstrating the adaptability and diversity of organisms.Next, the video shows a beautiful view of All Mountain Cake Island, where the island is surrounded by water with mountains in the background, the sky is cloudy, and the water is calm.The subtitles in the video mention that All Mountain Cake Island is located at the junction of two tectonic plates, which explains the geological background of the island.The camera switches to a group of people swimming in the sea, the water is crystal clear and the landscape is breathtaking, they seem to be enjoying a calm and relaxing day.The subtitles in the video mention that All Mountain Cake Island is located at the junction of two tectonic plates, which again emphasizes the geological features of the island.Next, the video shows an aerial view of a rocky island in the middle of the ocean, which appears to be a beautiful and quiet place.The subtitles in the video mention that All Mountain Cake Island is located at the junction of two tectonic plates, which further explains the geological background of the island.The scene shifts to a group of explorers exploring the underwater world, they can be seen swimming and diving around coral reefs and rocks, the explorers seem to be having a good time and enjoying the beauty of the underwater world.The subtitles in the video mention that All Mountain Cake Island is located at the junction of two tectonic plates, which again emphasizes the geological features of the island.The camera goes deep underwater on the rocky island, revealing a maze of hydrothermal vents.These vents are the nozzles of an underwater volcano, pumping superheated water at 116 degrees Celsius.The subtitles in the video mention that this is one of the most toxic environments for life on Earth.However, the image shows a group of crabs that live along the Sulphur Springs, demonstrating the ability of the creatures to survive in extreme environments.Next, the camera closes in on the crabs sliding on the rocks as they appear to be searching for food.The subtitles in the video mention that these crabs have developed a unique ability to break down and neutralize hydrogen sulfide, further emphasizing the creature's adaptive mechanisms in extreme environments.The scene continues to show a group of crabs sliding on rocks along Sulphur Springs, where the water is no longer boiling, but is still very hot.The caption in the video mentions that it is highly toxic environment for any other living creature, but these crabs have not only survived in this dead land, but have taken advantage of it.The camera closes in on the crabs sliding on the rocks as they appear to be searching for food.The caption in the video mentions that these crabs took advantage of the land, which demonstrates the intelligence and adaptability of the creatures.Finally, the video shows the effects of the toxic gases on the surroundings, with plankton falling like sea snow, and the subtitles in the video mention that the toxic gases immediately kill passing plankton.The flat tips of the crab's claws in the image are perfect for gathering these delicacies, which again emphasizes the creature's survival strategies in extreme environments.As the camera gradually pulls away, the image shows a beautiful beach with waves gently lapping against the rocks and sunlight pouring over the sea, creating a harmonious picture.The caption in the video mentions that these crabs have demonstrated the resilience of the creatures by surviving in extreme environments.The camera fades out at the end, leaving the audience with endless thoughts.[01:20:00->01:30:00] The video begins with the camera focusing on a colorful coral reef with a variety of fish swimming in the water.The coral reefs look even more vivid in the dappled light and shadows from the sunlight that pours through the water.The subtitles suggest that these creatures have undergone some sort of mutation in an attempt to understand how they survive in this environment.Next, the scene switches to a diver using a controller to measure the size of a coral.He carefully recorded the data as if he were conducting an important scientific experiment.The caption mentions that the data will be used in a comparative study by Lambie's team to understand the changes in the coral reef after the bomb blast.The camera then pans to a man in scuba gear as he explores a coral reef underwater, interacting with the marine life around him.His movements seemed effortless, as if he knew this underwater world like the back of his hand.The caption emphasizes that Lambie's team collected a group of uninfected people as a control to ensure the scientific validity of the study.Next, the image shows a group of explorers swimming, diving and observing marine life in the underwater world.They are fully equipped, including masks and oxygen tanks, to ensure a safe dive.The caption mentions that the uninfected corals are from American Samoa, about 3,800 kilometers from Bikini Atoll.The contrast in this distance highlights the complexity and importance of the research.The camera switches to a ship sailing on the sea, which appears to be heading towards the coast.The caption on the screen re-emphasizes the distance, further emphasizing the scope and difficulty of the research.The camera then pans to a woman in a pink shirt sitting on a boat, talking to another person.The subtitle mentions that these uninfected corals will be compared with corals from Bikini Atoll to assess the effects of radiation.The scene switches once again to a laboratory scene where a man and a woman are working and they seem to be preparing experimental equipment.The subtitle mentions that the research team will be comparing unirradiated corals to irradiated corals to determine if the radiation dose exceeds baseline levels in the United States.These data will provide an important reference for subsequent studies.Next, the camera goes back underwater to show a woman talking to someone on a boat.The caption mentions that Lora Lopez is looking for genetic alterations, which are the most obvious signs of radiation damage.The details in the image show the scientists' research on genetic mutations, highlighting their professionalism and rigor.The video goes on to show a beautiful view of the coral reef, with fish swimming amongst the coral as if enjoying this peaceful underwater world.The caption mentions that, despite the impact of human activities on organisms such as corals, much of the marine life of Bikini Atoll has returned and the reef is thriving.A close-up of the invertebrates on the coral reef, which are amazing in their number and diversity.The scene then shifts to a sea turtle swimming lazily in the water as if enjoying the tranquil waters.The caption emphasized that the restoration of coral reefs was not only in terms of the corals themselves, but also in terms of the overall health of marine life.The shot continues to show a diver interacting with fish underwater, highlighting the vibrancy of the waters.Next, the camera shows sharks swimming around the coral reefs, where they are the main predators.The caption mentions that shark populations are a sign of ecosystem health.However, some "nanny sharks" seem to be unusual in that they have only one dorsal fin.The subtitles explain that this could be a mutation caused by radiation.The close-ups of these mutant sharks highlight the urgency and importance of the research.At the end of the video, the camera shows a beautiful coral reef with sunlight pouring into the clear waters, creating a harmonious picture.The subtitle mentions that the Pacific Ocean is recovering and the brutal ruins are paving the way for life.The camera gradually pulls away to show a school of fish swimming around a coral reef, as if celebrating the rebirth of the waters.The end of the video leaves a profound reflection on the resilience of nature and the impact of human activity.As the music plays, the scene fades out, leaving the audience with endless thoughts.

Question: What might happen later if an Astana Beach-born baby sea turtle manages to return to the sea?

Choices:
A. If a baby sea turtle born on an Astana beach is successfully returned to the sea, it may establish a new nesting site on a distant coastline within 5 years.
B. If a baby sea turtle born on an Astana beach is successfully returned to the sea, it may return to Astana beach to breed its offspring after 12 years of successful survival in the Pacific Ocean.
C. If a baby sea turtle born on an Astana beach is successfully returned to the sea, it may migrate permanently to the Indian Ocean and never return to its natal beach.
D. If a baby sea turtle born on an Astana beach is successfully returned to the sea, it may remain in coastal waters near Astana beach for its entire lifespan without migrating.

Answer: B

If a baby sea turtle born on an Astana beach is successfully returned to the sea, it may return to Astana beach to breed its offspring after 12 years of successful survival in the Pacific Ocean.

A large number of sea turtles have flocked to Astana Beach for breeding activities, and they are coming out of the sea for the first time in 12 years. [00:01:33->00:03:12]

Unknown reasons can drive sea turtles to instinctively find where populations have been laying their eggs. [00:03:16->00:03:25]

From this it is clear that sea turtles have a magical ability to find the breeding sites where their populations have been since time immemorial, where young turtles are born and return to the sea, and in adulthood follow their instincts to return to the same place to breed again.

Question: Why has Astana Beach been a breeding ground for sea turtle populations for so long?

Choices:
A. This is because Astana Beach experiences consistent tidal patterns that ensure the sand remains soft and moist, ideal for egg incubation, but the hatchlings face significant challenges in reaching the sea.
B. This is because Astana Beach provides a breeding ground for large numbers of sea turtles and enables many young turtles to survive predators and return to the sea, and these young turtles are then instinctively driven to return to their birthplace to breed their offspring when they reach adulthood.
C. This is because Astana Beach has a unique underwater topography that creates warm currents, which attract sea turtles for feeding rather than breeding purposes.
D. This is because Astana Beach is located in a region with minimal human activity, allowing sea turtles to nest without disturbance, though the survival rate of hatchlings remains low due to natural predators.

Answer: B

This is because Astana Beach provides a breeding ground for large numbers of sea turtles and enables many young turtles to survive predators and return to the sea, and these young turtles are then instinctively driven to return to their birthplace to breed their offspring when they reach adulthood.

This beach can provide about a million nests for sea turtle breeding, holding hundreds of millions of eggs. [00:05:26->00:05:40]

While there is a large number of predators present on the beach, there is also predator saturation, which has allowed a large number of sea turtle eggs to survive. [00:05:41->00:06:08]

Question: If the radical experiment described in the video is successful, will it work for horseshoe crab conservation?

Choices:
A. Even if the experiment succeeds, it would have minimal impact on the conservation efforts for horseshoe crabs due to their complex ecological requirements.
B. If the experiment is really successful, it could dramatically increase the chances of survival of horseshoe crabs, and would go a long way towards preserving this population.
C. A successful experiment would likely disrupt the natural habitat of horseshoe crabs, leading to unintended ecological consequences.
D. The success of the experiment would primarily benefit other marine species, with only marginal effects on horseshoe crab populations.

Answer: B

If the experiment is really successful, it could dramatically increase the chances of survival of horseshoe crabs, and would go a long way towards preserving this population.

Since 2002, industrialized pollution, overfishing, and destruction of mating grounds have led to a dramatic decline in horseshoe crab populations. [00:19:28->00:20:08]

A radical experiment aims to protect the survival of horseshoe crabs. [00:20:09->00:20:22]

Horseshoe crabs take 12 years to reach adulthood, and are especially vulnerable to predators during the first five years. [00:20:23->00:20:43]

But when horseshoe crabs are grown in the lab, adequate food and a safe environment can accelerate their growth to their original size of five years old in a year. [00:20:43->00:21:03]

If the experiment in the video is successful, then human intervention could enable horseshoe crabs to enjoy sufficient food and a safe environment during their most vulnerable time of life, thus accelerating horseshoe crab growth, dramatically increasing the chances of horseshoe crab survival after being released into nature, and effectively protecting the horseshoe crab population.

Question: What is the possible intent of the video showing the wreckage of the Japanese plane on the ocean floor at the end?

Choices:
A. It may be to demonstrate the resilience of marine life in adapting to human-made structures and the ecological niches they create.
B. It may be to highlight the technological advancements in underwater exploration and the precision of modern imaging techniques.
C. It may be to show the damage that mankind once did to this ocean, but also to show the amazing self-healing ability of the marine ecology, while reminding people not to make the mistakes of the past.
D. It may be to emphasize the historical significance of the plane wreckage as a relic of World War II and its impact on global politics.

Answer: C

It may be to show the damage that mankind once did to this ocean, but also to show the amazing self-healing ability of the marine ecology, while reminding people not to make the mistakes of the past.

The bottom of the Pacific Ocean is littered with the wreckage of Japanese planes from World War II, an ocean that was once deeply damaged by human behavior. [01:23:00->01:24:10]

As time passes, the wreckage becomes a refuge for the creatures of the sea floor, and the marine ecology begins to gradually recover under the miraculous power of self-repair. [01:24:11->01:25:02]

The video shows a dystopia of the past intertwined with reality through the wreckage of a Japanese airplane, reminding people of the deep damage that was done to the marine environment and warning them not to repeat it in the future. [01:23:00->01:25:02]

Question: Why is there a link between shark mutations in the Marshall Islands and U.S. nuclear testing?

Choices:
A. It was the U.S. nuclear tests that caused large amounts of radioactive elements to seep into the land and water of the Marshall Islands, causing the sharks to mutate.
B. The introduction of invasive species in the Marshall Islands disrupted the ecosystem, indirectly causing genetic changes in sharks.
C. Climate change has altered the marine environment of the Marshall Islands, resulting in accelerated mutation rates among local shark populations.
D. Natural oceanic radiation levels in the Marshall Islands have historically been higher, leading to increased shark mutations over time.

Answer: A

It was the U.S. nuclear tests that caused large amounts of radioactive elements to seep into the land and water of the Marshall Islands, causing the sharks to mutate.

The United States detonates 23 nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands. [00:54:09->00:55:28]

Radioactivity from nuclear bombs has rendered the Marshall Islands unfit for human habitation to this day. [01:16:49->01:17:58]

It has been discovered that some sharks in the Marshall Islands have only one fin. [01:21:31->01:22:24]

Radiation can cause mutations in genes. [01:22:25->01:22:47]

Question: How many stages are there in the process of a sea turtle colony on Astana Beach from the laying of eggs to the return of their young to the sea?

Choices:
A. There are 5 stages in total, excluding the nesting period.
B. There are 4 stages in total, including incubation and hatching.
C. There are 7 stages in total, with an additional migration phase.
D. There are 6 stages in total.

Answer: D

Groups of adult sea turtles have traveled halfway across the Pacific Ocean to the Astana Beach breeding grounds. [00:01:33->00:03:50]

A mother sea turtle digs a hole in the beach and lays her eggs in it. [00:03:52->00:04:49]

Natural predators will prey on buried sea turtle eggs on the beach. [00:04:49->00:06:08]

After 50 days of successful hatching baby turtles crawl out of their holes. [00:39:50->00:40:12]

The baby turtles need to crawl quickly to the sea to avoid the seabirds waiting on the beach to feed on them. [00:40:13->00:41:07]

In the end, less than 8% of baby turtles make it to the ocean. [00:41:08->00:41:28]

Question: In how many ways have human activities affected the biology and environment of the Marshall Islands?

Choices:
A. The biology and environment of the Marshall Islands is impacted in three distinct ways.
B. Human activities have led to seven primary effects on the biology and environment of the Marshall Islands.
C. The biology and environment of the Marshall Islands are influenced by four major factors due to human activities.
D. The biology and environment of the CNMI is affected in five ways.

Answer: D

The biology and environment of the CNMI is affected in five ways.

The wreckage of the U.S. aircraft carrier Saratoga, sunk in World War II, is on the bottom of the Marshall Islands. [00:53:04->00:54:08]

The Marshall Islands became a U.S. nuclear testing site after World War II, where 23 nuclear bombs were detonated, creating deep craters visible from space. [00:54:09->00:55:28]

Radioactivity from the nukes permeated all the plants on the island, making it unfit for human habitation to this day. [01:16:49->01:17:58]

Coral at the bottom of the ocean absorbs radioactive elements to create mutations. [01:19:30->01:20:23]

Sharks have undergone shape mutations from the effects of radiation. [01:21:31->01:22:58]

The video presents a historical story about Babylon and its Hanging Gardens through a series of carefully edited images and subtitles.The entire video begins with an ancient observatory in Roman Columbia, leading to an interest in ancient civilizations.The video then shows an ancient painting of a pyramid, and through these images and subtitles, the viewer is gradually transported into the mysterious world of Babylon.The video shows a woman standing in a doorway adorned with lights, seemingly greeting the viewer, before the scene switches to depict the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.The city at sunset and the calm river, as well as the river in the forest, create a serene and beautiful atmosphere for this mysterious garden.The video emphasizes the geographic importance of Babylon through the depiction of the Isthmus River bisecting pre-Asia.The video then shows ancient castles and ruins in the desert, revealing Babylon's former splendor and present desolation.Through 3D animation, viewers can see the magnificent structure of the castle and its surroundings, further deepening their understanding of Babylonian civilization.The video also introduces the creator of Babylon, an architect as cruel as he was masterful, whose conquests and architectural achievements have been the subject of countless legends.A professor appearing in the video, dressed in traditional garb, spoke further about the history of Babylon.The scenes of Babylonian kings sacrificing to the great god Marduk and wielding absolute power are vividly illustrated through a combination of video footage and subtitles that show the religious and political life of Babylon.The video also shows Babylon's army and battle scenes, emphasizing its military prowess.As the video progresses, the viewer is given a glimpse of the city layout and architecture of Babylon.The walls, palaces and hanging gardens of Babylon are shown through 3D animation.The professors in the video further explain how the architectural wonders of Babylon, especially the Hanging Gardens, could be so magnificent in the desert.The final part of the video shows modern research and discoveries about Babylon through scenes of archaeologists exploring the ruins in the desert.The video highlights the discoveries made by German archaeologists in 1899, including the Gate of Ishtar and a large number of clay tablets.These discoveries not only reveal the glorious history of Babylon, but also demonstrate the wisdom and artistic achievements of the ancient civilization.Overall, this video vividly tells the history of Babylon and the mystery of the Hanging Gardens through rich images and subtitles, showing the glory and decline of ancient Babylonian civilization, as well as its study and exploration in modern times.[00:10:00->00:20:00] The current video clip shows a series of fascinating scenes, from ancient Babylonian architecture to modern archaeological discoveries, that vividly depict the splendor of Babylonian civilization and the fruits of modern research.The video begins by showing a black-and-white image of a wall adorned with lion motifs, as if it were a testament to an ancient history.The scene then switches to a busy city street, with people walking along the street, cars parked on either side, and an alarming atmosphere pervading the entire city.The walls on both sides of the street are decorated with beautiful paintings that seem to tell the story of the city.The camera then pans to a long hallway with paintings adorning the walls and a door at the end.The caption mentions that this was once the site of the Gates of Ishtar.The scene continues to show a group of people walking through a street decorated with beautiful ceilings and images of horses, further emphasizing the beauty and grandeur of Babylonian architecture.The camera pans back to a wall of mossa adorned with images of lions, the wall consists of many different colored panels, carefully arranged to create a beautiful and interesting design.Next, a blue wall of old lightning appears in the frame as the camera captures details on the wall, highlighting the fine craftsmanship of these monuments.The video goes on to show a spectacular view of the Gates of Ishtar.The huge brick gateposts are 14 meters high and decorated with bulls and dragons and the lifelike character for "dragon".These life-size images of dragons, cows and lions are so realistic that it's as if they're about to jump off the wall at any moment.The camera constantly switches to show the details of these decorations, making the viewer feel as if they were in the bustle of ancient Babylon.The scene then shifts to an elderly man sitting in a chair, wearing a black shirt, who is telling the camera something interesting.The elder, who appears to be an archaeologist, explains in detail the history of the Gates of Ishtar and the restoration process.He mentioned that the restored gates were actually much larger, and that the Pergamon Museum in Berlin only kept part of the gate.Next, the video shows a bird's eye view of the desert, with no sign of humans in the vast expanse, and aerial shots provide exciting vistas of the desert's natural beauty.The scene then switches to a sand castle built in the desert, which is surrounded by salons and appears to be quite large.The camera returns to an aerial view of the ancient city of Babylon, a city known for its impressive architecture and historical significance.The video mentions that the outbreak of the first two world wars prevented archaeologists from making further discoveries, but Babylon today is still the subject of most interest to all archaeologists.The footage shows a third of the buildings in the city where these 1a buildings once stood.The image shows people walking along a narrow street, made of rock and surrounded by tall buildings, as they walk towards the end of the street.The video then shows a beautiful palace with blue walls and bow and arrow decorations, the palace is surrounded by gardens with animal images painted on the walls.The camera pans to a man standing in front of a mud-brick building, wearing a white shirt, who appears to be recounting some important historical event.The video goes on to show people walking in the garden, which is surrounded by buildings, and people dressed in traditional clothing, having a good time.The camera pans to another room with a throne in the center of the room, beautiful paintings adorning the walls, and two men standing in front of the throne.The subtitle mentions that foreign missions wish to have an audience with the high and mighty king.Finally, the video shows an aerial view of the city of Babylon, which is fortified with strong fortifications and occupies about 900 cauldrons.The camera switches to a 3D animation of a vehicle towed by horses running through the desert, with the vehicle being towed by two trained horses and moving quickly.Then a large building appears in the picture, with the desert in the background, the building appears to be made of stucco, there are trees around it, the sky is clear and the sun is shining.Throughout the video, the history and architectural wonders of Babylon, as well as its modern-day study and exploration, are vividly illustrated through rich graphics and subtitles.[00:20:00->00:30:00] The video continues to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, revealing more details about this ancient wonder to viewers through a series of stunning images and in-depth narration.The scene first switches to a long hallway with walls made of matches and a hallway filled with light, but no characters or objects appear.The caption mentions that these marks on the walls are thought to be evidence of the foundations of the Hanging Gardens.The camera then pans to a narrow path with a window on each side and a door in the center.The door appears to connect different rooms, each of which was once equipped with a water-carrying device for transporting water to the garden.However, many scholars have subsequently rejected this idea, arguing that the rooms were more likely warehouses or prisons.If these rooms were prisons, then this could be where the prophet Daniel was imprisoned by order of the king.Next, the image shows a man in a green jacket standing in front of some plants, and he appears to be telling something to the camera, but the exact details are not clear.The subtitles of the video explain that these scholars consider these rooms to be warehouses or prisons, not part of a garden.Further discussion turned to a 3D map of the ancient city of Babylon, showing the layout and structure of the city.The caption mentions that the prophet Daniel was imprisoned by order of King Darius, which further adds to the historical significance of this location.The video goes on to show an aerial view of an ancient ruin in the desert, which appears to be in a state of disarray and surrounded by sand.The caption mentions that if the location of the Tower of Babel is true, then the Hanging Gardens must be in the center of the city, near the temples and palaces.However, modern archaeologists believe that the Hanging Gardens were located near the city walls, closer to the river.The camera switches to a 3D animation of a city showing how water from the Euphrates River is diverted through shelves into a garden to meet the irrigation needs of a large number of trees.The scene shifts again to ruins in the desert, where people walk among the ruins and examine these ancient relics.The caption mentions that the gardens here are too crowded and, more importantly, too far from the Euphrates River, which makes it an unlikely site for a hanging garden.The video then shows an aerial view of a beautiful garden with a spring in the center surrounded by greenery and trees, creating an atmosphere of serenity and calm.The caption mentions that modern archaeologists believe that the Hanging Gardens were located close to the Euphrates River to ensure an adequate water supply.The video shows an old woman sitting in a chair, talking to the camera.She wears glasses, her hair is gray, and there appears to be a library in the background.She explains that there is an alternative hypothesis that the gardens were not in Babylon at all, but in another country.Dr. Stephanie Keys of Oxford University makes the case that the Gardens were located outside the cities of Navi and Babylon to the north.The scene switches again to a beautiful sunset view with the castle surrounded by trees and a calm river.The caption mentions that the location of the garden has not yet been finalized according to some scholars.The camera pans to a 3D animation of a castle made of brown bricks, which is surrounded by water, further demonstrating the ancient Babylonian water system.The video goes on to show more details about the history of Babylon, including the Assyrian conquest and the planning of the gardens.An old woman reappears on camera to explain that the layout of the gardens is one of the most important ways to show the power of the king and the royal family.The bas-reliefs and murals in the video reflect the Assyrians' meticulous work on these gardens, demonstrating their careful design of the water system.Finally, the video shows a simulation of an ancient battlefield with a group of armored warriors preparing for battle, emphasizing Babylon's military might.King Nebuchadnezzar allied himself with the Musselmen and eventually captured the Assyrian capital and destroyed the Assyrian kingdom.Through these images and subtitles, the video vividly demonstrates the history of Babylon and the mystery of the Hanging Gardens, making the viewer feel as if they were in the splendor of an ancient civilization.[00:30:00->00:40:00] The video gradually shifts to a man wearing a helmet and armor, looking heroic on horseback.The warrior appears to have been working on a grand project on the banks of the Euphrates River, employing the best construction workers and architects of the day to realize his grand plan - the construction of a stunning Lydian garden.The camera switches to a group of people dressed in ancient garb, standing in front of a huge rock, discussing intensely the details of the garden's construction.These laborers and architects were clearly passionate about the project and each one threw himself into his work.The scene then switches to a cluster of tents in the desert, which are neatly arranged, with several vehicles parked nearby.This appears to be a temporary camp where workers rest and prepare supplies.The camera continues to show a man digging a hole in the ground with a tool and later filling the hole with sand.This may be to secure posts or foundations that support the garden structure.The pace of the video gradually becomes calmer as the scene switches to a library filled with books and people quietly reading and studying.It seemed to be a quiet and calm environment, a stark contrast to the previous construction site.A book in the library catches the camera's attention, an ancient book with yellowed pages.The caption mentions that this work of ancient Greek scholars may reveal the history of the Hanging Gardens.Next, a man in a dress and loincloth sits in front of a bookshelf, and he seems to be telling the story of the Hanging Gardens.He mentions that the origin of the Hanging Gardens is linked to Diodorus, a historian in Sicily.In his writings, this historian describes in detail the structure and construction of the Hanging Gardens.He mentioned that the garden measures 123 meters by 123 meters and is located on a waterproof platform.The foundation of this platform is supported by numerous pillars covered with balconies where trees can be planted.These balconies are arranged like seats in an amphitheater, with wide steps on each level.The camera switches again to a 3D animation of a city, with a palace surrounded by gardens and trees and a spring in the center of the palace.This animation is very detailed and shows the prosperity of ancient Babylon.Watertightness was one of the most important issues for the ancients, who used a millennia-old clay building technique to ensure that their gardens were watertight.These techniques include covering the foundation with reeds and asphalt to prevent water infiltration.The video goes on to show a snow-covered landscape with mountains in the background as the camera unfolds over the snow, capturing the beauty of the winter landscape.The scene seems to explain the types of plants in the garden.Since the garden was built to dispel the queen's homesickness, it is planted with plants native to her homeland.The footage shows the wide variety of plants and lush vegetation in northern Iran, thanks to the natural conditions of the area.Next, the video shows a group of archaeologists working at an excavation site, carefully digging into the ground and finding ancient objects.Wearing protective gear, including gloves, these archaeologists work carefully to make sure they don't damage any valuable artifacts.The video features a professor who stands in a garden and explains to the viewer that it receives more precipitation than the surrounding area, which makes it a kind of ideal place to build a garden.Finally, the video shows the ruins of Persepolis, the city that was once the first capital of ancient Persia.Broken columns and collapsed walls can be seen in the ruins, which bear witness to the splendor of ancient Persia.The camera switches to a group of people exploring the ruins, who appear to be studying history.The video emphasizes the glory and artistic genius of Persepolis, especially the construction of its aqueducts and fountains, which provide ample water for the gardens.The entire video vividly demonstrates the construction process of the Hanging Gardens and its historical background through rich images and detailed explanations, making viewers feel as if they were in the splendor of ancient Babylon.[00:40:00->00:50:00] In the video, the scene switches to a 3D animation of a cage in which the bird appears to be trapped and keeps trying to escape.This scene seems to symbolize some kind of conflict between bondage and freedom.The camera then pans to a man meticulously tending a garden filled with various plants, wearing a white shirt and watering the plants.This garden is surrounded by a cave, as if it were a hidden paradise.The man's movements appeared to be very focused and attentive, as if the plants were part of his life.Next, the video shows a group of people in traditional dress riding across the desert on horseback as they appear to be on a long journey.The caption mentions that about 200 species of trees and plants, including pomegranate trees, palms and rare flowers, travel long distances across the desert.The transportation of these plants is very difficult and requires constant watering to ensure they survive the 500 kilometer journey.The video shows a man on horseback dragging a vehicle filled with buckets of water, dressed in medieval clothing and looking very hard at work.The scene continues to switch to a large ball made of string that is placed on a wooden board in what appears to be a game or art installation.The camera then pans to a barrel filled with water, which fluctuates as it is constantly pounded by wooden planks.This scene seems to emphasize the importance and preciousness of water.The video goes on to show the visit of the Greek scientist Strabo, who visited Babylon in the first century B.C. and left a detailed description of the Hanging Gardens water supply system.Strabo's description vividly demonstrates how water is transported to all levels of the garden through a complex system of pumps.The video shows a structure of wooden stairs with water flowing from a well at the top of the hill, with diagonal lines on each terrace allowing for even distribution of water.Although many people were curious about how these pumps worked, the design of these pumps was kept secret at the time and no one was allowed to visit.The video then shows the screw pumps used by the ancient Babylonians, which have long been used by the ancient Babylonians even though they are traditionally thought to have been invented by Archimedes.The 3D animation in the video shows how this pump works, where water is lifted to the topmost level of the garden by a screw pump and then flows through an intricate system of canals throughout the garden, providing ample water for the plants.The video goes on to show the interiors of the Hanging Gardens, which are even more ornate than the exteriors, with over 100 different types of rooms.One large area with a swimming pool stands out.The video shows a group of women enjoying a relaxing time in a swimming pool, with the water clear and the sun shining through the cover, creating a peaceful and calm atmosphere.The video further shows the celebration of the Babylonian New Year, which is the most important holiday for the ancient Babylonians.People dressed in ancient Egyptian costumes and performed rituals or dances to celebrate the spring equinox.On this day, all the gods gather before Marduk to honor him.The video shows a solemn group of people in ancient costumes walking down a long corridor flanked by towering buildings and people walking toward the end of the corridor.Finally, the video shows the splendor and decline of Babylon.In 597 BC, Babylon was conquered by the Persians and the city was razed to the ground, never to be rebuilt.The video shows a group of armored fighters battling as buildings burn in flames and streets fill with smoke.Eventually, the ruins of the legendary city were lost to the desert and swamps for many centuries.The video ends with a beautiful sunset scene, with the sky filled with clouds and the sun shining brightly, as if to tell the viewer that despite Babylon's former splendor, its story will remain forever in the memory of history.[00:50:00->01:00:00] The video screen switches to an ancient Babylonian city where the streets are lined with palm trees and a grand palace can be seen in the background.The people are dressed in traditional costumes and seem to be enjoying the city as they walk, talk or shop in the markets.The entrance to the city is surrounded by tall walls, which are adorned with countless symbols and emblems of the gods, giving it a solemn and mysterious appearance.The gates are 14 meters high and are likewise decorated with various symbols, symbolizing the patronage of the gods.The camera continues to move forward, showing a large road to Babylon, which divides the city into two parts.Tall walls and grand gates divide the city into two parts, where 180,000 inhabitants live in houses of various sizes.The city contains not only
