The specimens have been specifically selected and curated for the museum. From meteorites and dinosaur fossils to barbed wire from D-Day, the personal museum includes artifacts from some of the most important events in history. Each artifact is carefully prepared for inclusion. The samples are then professionally cast in acrylic. The museums are polished to a glass-like surface and will last for generations with proper care. After achieving the first successful flight in a plane, Orville Wright stated, \"We were lucky enough to grow up in an environment where there was always much encouragement to children to pursue intellectual interests; to investigate whatever aroused curiosity.” That is exactly what the Heritage Museum is intended for! Whether for yourself, for others, or to share with children, this personal museum is an exceptional learning tool. Each artifact in the museum is authentic and has inherent historical importance.

New research suggests that this ocean was home to the largest sea snakes and catfish that ever lived. It is thought that the climate and geography of the area slowly changed as a result of the slight axial tilt changes of the earth. The area remained humid and green until approximately 6,000 years ago. The final transition from humid to dry was dramatic and happened within a perplexingly short period.

Although once hotly contested, thanks to the work of Luis Alvarez, it is now understood that this particular mass extinction was the result of a colossal asteroid colliding with the Earth. Alvarez and his team discovered that within sedimentary layers found on several continents, there was an abnormally high level of iridium - an element more common in asteroids than in Earth’s crust.

Like modern elephants, mammoths used their tusks for fighting, moving objects, and foraging. Interestingly, scientists can determine the age of a woolly mammoth specimen from the rings of its tusks. Mammoths spent much of their time foraging for food and would eat 180-200 kilograms of grasses and plants every day. Most woolly mammoths died out at the end of the last ice age (about 10,500 years ago). However, due to rapid warming and rising sea levels during that time, a population of 500-1000 woolly mammoths became isolated on Wrangel Island (Arctic Ocean, Russia).

Egyptian “faience” was a ceramic material made from common ingredients such as quartz (silicon dioxide), calcium oxide\/hydroxide (lime), and mineral pigments. To create beads, the faience paste was pressed and rolled around a string, then sliced into small discs. The paste was then fired in furnaces reaching 870+°C. Firing the faience paste in a furnace transformed it into hardened ceramic. The beads in the museum display came from the Simonian family collection (acquired in Switzerland, 1960s).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMayan Jade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/8035\/2556\/files\/mayan_jade_480x480.jpg?v=1641866022\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe Maya civilization existed from roughly 1800 B.C. to around 900 A.D. in what is now modern-day Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras.

The people of France listened intently for any news from the American war and names like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson became household names among the French. The success of the American Revolution inspired revolutionaries in France. The reforms and liberties obtained came at great cost, both in human life and monetarily. In 1789, the National Assembly began printing paper money, known as “assignats”, to avoid imminent bankruptcy. These assignats were backed by church lands that had been nationalized.
