3. Pumpkin
   "Pumpkin bombs" were conventional high explosive aerial bombs developed by the Manhattan Project and used by the United States Army Air Forces against Japan during World War II. The name "pumpkin bomb" resulted from the large ellipsoidal shape of the munition and was the actual reference term used in official documents. 486 of the bombs were built and 49 dropped on Japanese targets by the 509th Composite Group.
4. Anasazi Indians
   The Anasazi Indians were ancestors of the Pueblo Indians who continue to live in the Western part of the United States today. They were originally a basket making society and lived in underground pits. They began to build pueblos (above-ground buildings) because their culture was based on agriculture and they had little need to move. The Anasazi are often called “cliff dwellers” because they built apartment-like homes in the sides of canyons or cliffs that were chosen for their flat tops, called “mesas” (Spanish for table). The Anasazi lived near the bottom of the canyon floors and cultivated their crops on the top of the mesas. Crops consisted of squash, beans, corn, tobacco, and cotton. Meat came from turkeys, deer and mountain sheep.

6. Zao -- Paintings
   The Zao tenj were a humanoid species—initially leading some to believe that they were a Human offshoot race—but there were differences between Humans and Zao tenj. The Zao tenj were much taller and had heavier builds than the average Human, though this could be a result of selective breeding. Zao tenj ... had a longer life span than the average Human, ranging from two to three times that of a Human's.
