What's up, sunshine? I'm Koi Wire. This
is CNN 10, your 10 minutes of news,
where I simply tell you the what,
letting you decide what to think. I have
some significant stories to share with
you today, including some from you. So,
let's get to it. We begin in Turkey,
where two groundbreaking archaeological
digs are rewriting what we know about
early human civilization. The dig sites
feature settlements that are older than
Egypt's pyramids and Stonehenge, and
they may mark the moment humans first
began living together in permanent
peaceful communities. Our Sama Abdelaziz
got a firstirhand look at these amazing
artifacts.
These sites in southeastern Turkey are
providing new evidence as to how
civilization started. Built around
10,000 years ago, these settlements and
the monuments discovered inside them are
providing new knowledge, explaining the
end of the hunter gatherer period.
This is one of the places where people
started living communally in permanent
dwellings.
So we are walking into
or towards the
main archaeological site. This
settlement or village, one of the
earliest
settlements, villages ever found is part
of a series, a chain of other locations,
settlements, and villages in this region
much older than Egypt's pyramids and
Stonehenge in the west of England.
Discoveries unearthed here mark a
turning point in history.
>> So what is the bigger picture here?
>> Yeah, it is the how they evolved the
human uh ideology. It is the end of the
beginning.
>> The end of the beginning
>> what we have today.
>> What we have today is the end of the
beginning. Explain that for me. What
does that mean? Now we have uh many
difficulties all over the world and many
wars etc. But in the beginning of senary
life there is no evidence about the war.
Most probably they live in peace and
really part of the nature. It was the
colorful life comparing today.
>> Gahante is one of several archaeological
digs taking place in this area.
Nearby is the better known and more
developed gobaklate.
Here they have found benches in
intricately carved and decorated
monuments.
So four different
locations in this one site. This is what
special access looks like.
Experts believe that evidence a
civilized society existed should come as
no surprise.
>> I think the first thing is that we have
to realize I mean a lot of people think
about hunter gatherers and they think
they're primitive. Um and that's a very
bad way of approaching this.
>> To be honest, I would have thought the
same thing. I would not have expected
this.
>> Yes, exactly. And the thing is we
shouldn't do that because it's jumping
the gun somewhat. I mean hunter
gatherers, they're us, you know, homo
sapiens. They were if they were born
today into our culture, they'd be using
a mobile phone.
>> No cell phones in times past, but plenty
to suggest that people had many other
ways to keep themselves entertained.
>> 10second trivia. When was 3D printing
first invented? 1963, in 84, in 2001, or
2010?
If you said 1984, you're building your
knowledge layer by layer. That's when
Chuck Hall invented the first 3D
printing technology called
stereoliththography. It was the start of
a whole new dimension of design. Next
up, we are crawling into the future of
construction with a bite-sized buzz on
the building bot revolutionizing how we
build homes. Meet Charlotte, a
spider-shaped robot from Australia that
can 3D print a fullsized house, mate, in
just one day. No hammers, no hard hats,
just high-tech hardware, weaving walls
like a web. Now, Charlotte doesn't spend
silk, though. She layers up local
materials like sand, crushed rock, or
even recycled glass to build strong,
sustainable structures. Engineers say
these speedy spiders can tackle two
tangled problems at once. Housing
shortages and construction waste. And
since it doesn't need heavy cranes or
big crews, it could make building
cheaper, cleaner, and quicker. The
coolest twist, the team thinks this tech
could one day crawl its way to the moon
or Mars, printing homes where no human
has built before. For now, Charlotte's
still in the testing phases. But if she
delivers, the next generation of
homebuilders might become known as
mechanical arachnids. All right,
superstars and future journalists,
buckle up, cuz it's time for some CNN 10
field trips. We asked you to put your
reporter hats on and take us on some of
your coolest adventures outside of the
classroom, and they are next level.
Let's hit the road and see what you've
been up to.
First stop, Plymouth, Michigan, where
seventh grade journalists from West
Middle School take us on a tremendous
ziplining adventure. Take it away,
Bulldogs.
>> Bulldogs venture off into the trees with
goal of friendship in mind. Sixth
graders at West Middle School along with
their web leaders head into TreeRunner.
The field trip was designed to practice
team building skills and to meet new
people. The sixth graders described it
as a funny, unique field trip that
allowed them to meet new friends and
express themselves fully. Who knew
bulldogs could bark up the right tree.
Excitement filled the air as sixth
graders zipped along at Treeunner
Adventure Park. But the field trip
wasn't about ziplining. It was about
teamwork, connection, and courage.
Laughter bounced around the park as
students cheered each other on and even
helped each other go through courses.
The trip built friendship, teams, and
reminded everyone learning doesn't
always happen in the classroom.
The Tree Runner field trip proved that
teamwork and joy can grow everywhere,
even up in the trees.
>> Tremendous indeed. Next up, eighth
graders from St. Bridget Middle School
in Richmond, Virginia. They hit
Washington DC to celebrate a special
Catholic Jubilee year. Let's hear how
they pulled it off.
>> The same bridges.
We're at the basilica
of the Conception and we're in DC right
now.
and kichiwa. We are hopping over to Camp
Zama, Japan. Brothers Simon and Harry
Gold are giving us a peek into their
life near Tokyo. Kunichiwa.
>> I'm Simon.
>> I'm Harry. And we live on Camp Zamon.
We homeschool, but we also take some
classes here at Zama Middle High School.
>> We enjoy going to a conveyor belt sushi
restaurant. One conveyor belt loops
around and you can take what you want.
The other delivers food you have ordered
straight to you.
>> Japan has one of the best public
transportation systems in the world.
We're attending a festival at a little
brother's kindergarten.
Cherry blossom season is one of the most
beautiful times in Japan. The quora
symbolizes the fleeting beauty of life.
And finally, the seventh graders from
Trinity High in Hutchinson, Kansas
explore Sand Hills State Park to study
biomes. And trust me, this one stands
out from the rest.
>> Hey Coy, this is Jan Farb and her
seventh graders from Trinity Catholic
High School. We are on a field trip at
Sand Hills State Park near Hutchinson,
Kansas. So, we're studying different
biomes. So, we're in the prairies and
then we are going back towards the
woodlands.
>> Yeah. Say hi to Koi, everybody.
Thank you to all of you for expanding
our horizons by sharing your awesome
adventures with us. And keep them
coming. Email your videos to CNN10 at
CNN.com and your report could end up
teaching us about this wonderful world
in a future episode.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. So
fresh and so clean. Clean. Housekeepers
and custodians from some of the most
famous hotels in Las Vegas showed their
stuff in the 35th annual housekeeping
Olympics. Daily tasks turned into
full-blown competition in events like
bed making, mop relays, and toilet paper
toss. They even had a danceoff, which is
absolutely mandatory when doing chores,
at least in my house. This whole thing
is part of a tradition celebrating the
guest room attendants and environmental
service workers who keep Las Vegas
shining and making worldclass
hospitality look effortless. All right,
it is shout out time now. This one goes
to Mr. B and all the Eagles, my favorite
animal, the bald eagle at New York Mills
High School in New York Mills,
Minnesota. Rise up. And this shout out
goes to Mrs. Gazaway and our friends at
Gerard Middle School in Gerard, Kansas.
And away Gazaway. Thank you for making
us part of your day. Go make it an
awesome day everyone. Make someone smile
today. I'll see you next time. I'm Koi
Wire and we are CNN 10.
