Subject: FW: AWS Roadmap Items of Interest



Fun fact of the week:

 

Off the coast of Yonaguni Island, Japan, scientists found an ancient structure 30 meters underwater that could be human-made. Some believe it is the ancient civilization of Mu, remembered as a "lost city". Others believe it is a natural phenomenon and not a made by humans.
