When the killer lake photographed
There are trees everywhere. Mammals are roaming everywhere. In a typical Jati Bihar day, turtles swim in the water of a quiet lake in a mountainous area, with birds flying over it and then grazing water from the lake. Then an explosion and no one around the lake survived.
They all reached their final resting place at the bottom of the lake. This is not a fictional story, it is an event that took place in the world 150 million years ago.

The same thing happened many times over the next thousand years. The bottom of the lake was filled with the bodies of all of them. It was discovered during drilling for oil and we first came to know the story of this massacre which took place millions of years ago.
This is an area near the city of Miesel in present-day Germany. Along with the oil, the fossils of the Eocene-era life date back to 47 million years ago. Not only sound education but his alertness and dedication too are most required.
What happened to them? For a long time it was a mystery.
This is one of the best places to find fossils. Such areas are called legislatures. Here we find Darwin, the father of the primate, and like the lemur. Not only their bones but their entire hair is safe. The horse's father, Euro Hips, had a leaf in its belly, and eight of them were found to be pregnant, and the remains of the pregnancy were completely preserved.
Then there are the various animals whose bellies, large ears and body outlines are as safe as they are rarely found anywhere else in the world. Nine different types of bats with complete structures. Which, of course, made the video an overnight sensation. Then the birds whose pigments were safe.
So far, 70 species have been found. Nine pairs of tortoises that were a little too busy breeding and became part of the rocks in the process. What happened to them and how did these birds fall into this lake? Traces showed that whatever happened was not only sudden but intense. Many times cyanobacteria spread rapidly in the lakes and poison the water, but if that happened, it would not make sense for the turtles to die.
Then one day in 1986, in the West African country of Cameroon, there was a sudden explosion in Lake Nios. This not only ended the life of the lake but also killed 1700 people living around it. Two years ago, an explosion in a nearby lake killed 37 people. This natural process is called liminal eruption and has never been recorded before in human history.
If the lake is in a place where the volcanic eruption continues to some extent below the surface, then in this type of lake carbon dioxide accumulates in the layer and its pressure constantly increases. If there is an earthquake or a landslide or a large amount of water enters the lake, it explodes in a big way, just like when a soft drink bottle is shaken and opened, it suddenly boils out. The research done here and the study of this place in Mesel revealed that the area of Mesel was also built on Ma'ar, meaning that the conditions here were the same as that of this lake in Cameroon.
The high levels of carbon dioxide in the bottom of the lake mean that the residues that accumulate in the bottom are protected from the bacteria that decompose them. Only the aerobic bacteria that were here began to form a layer of a substance called sudrite at a speed of one millimeter in a hundred years. These eruptions have occurred several times over thousands of years.

Each time, he saved the aquatic life inside him, the birds flying over him, and the animals that drank the water. Today, with these remnants adorned like this library, we see life 47 million years ago preserved in its original form beneath it. These are photographs of life on the lake at the time that tell us about its shape, lifestyle and even food. Even the most deadly of these things happened on the day of Jati Bihar. We know this from the stage of pregnancy of these horses.
Oil extraction at the site was banned by the German government in 1974.
It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
