Submerged beneath an artificial lake in Northern Thailand is a 500-year-old temple known as Wat Tilok Aram. A stone inscription records that King Tilokkarad commanded Chao San Hua, the King of Muang Phayao, to establish the temple in 1476 β 1486 as an offering to the greatest king in the region. The temple stood for nearly five centuries until an irrigation project in 1939 inundated the temple, along with more than 10 other ancient sites.

Ooh ok so they are mites! I tried to count their legs but they’re so tiny. The red thing in the video is actually a rotting fungus so that makes sense. Thank you.
currently obsessed with a twitter account that has a bot set up to record their cat leaving and returning to their house

frankly im on board with out new lord and savior Pepito. let the people rejoice in his presence as he is the messiah
