Reviving Ancient Bacteria from Crystals

You know scientists once revived ancient bacteria from inside a 4,000,000 year old crystal?

In the Naga mine of Chihuahua, Mexico, researchers discovered giant selenite crystals,

some over 30 feet long. While studying these massive formations, they noticed tiny

fluid pockets trapped deep within. These pockets have been sealed off in the world for

millions of years. Inside, scientists found dormant microbes, ancient bacteria

no one had ever seen before. The samples were sent to NASA's Astrobiology Institute.

Using extreme precautions, researchers carefully extracted and isolated the life forms. And in a sterile

lab, they attempted to wake them, and it worked. Against all odds,
