The Benefits of a Low Carb Diet: How Does Atkins Work? Not everyone's body responds the same way to different approaches to losing weight. The key is to find a match for your body and metabolism. Dr. Atkins, a well-known cardiologist, limited his patients' intake of sugar and carbohydrates. As a result, many of his patients successfully lost weight and kept it off â even though they had previously been unsuccessful on regular low-calorie diets!
One of the most abundant and puzzling things that we find, though, are walls. Generally speaking walls are a joy to archaeologists-they delineate space, they provide definition, they separate one area from another.
This is more of an archeology question, but hopefully someone here can help explain. I've always been kind of puzzled thinking about how ancient cities or ruins get buried. More specifically, I have a few questions. How deep down are most ancient remains when they are found (depends on age and location, of course)? What is the natural rate of sediment deposit and where does it come from? How do cities that are continuously inhabited (like Rome) get buried? In the past people have told me that when buildings fell down, it was common practice for people would fill them in with dirt and build over them.
