A lot of people keep saying that music isn&rsquo;t like it used to be, stating that songs from the past are better than what&rsquo;s being played today, so we decided to look back 30 years ago and share some of the biggest tracks that made 1991 memorable.
It looks like 1991 was a rock-heavy year, with tracks that made defined some bands and ushered in some genres like Grunge.
Here are our favorites below:
Losing My Religion
Release date: February 19
Artist: REM
This song won big with its music video earning two Grammys for it, the band's song would offer something different, and with it, they were able to attract a wider audience leading to more fans and sales making it one of their most successful to date.

Release date: July 29
Artist: Metallica
One of, if not, the most iconic metal songs by the band, it would usher in a new era for the band with many considering the album from which the song was released to be their best to date, and we agree.

Release date: June 18
Artist: Bryan Adams
One of the most well-known love songs of all time, it was released as part of the &ldquo;Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves&rdquo; soundtrack. The song is considered to be Adams&rsquo; most successful and best-selling song of his career and it&rsquo;s easy to understand why, just listen to that melody!
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Y0pdQU87dc8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Black or White
Release date: November 11
Artist: Michael Jackson
Fusing pop-rock with dance and hip hop, the song was described as "a rock 'n' roll dance song about racial harmony", which is not just obvious from the music video but the lyrics too. The song was all about bringing people together, and the music video is incredibly entertaining to watch.
With it, Jackson became the first artist to have number one hits in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s too!

Release date: September 17
Artist: Guns N&rsquo; Roses
A power ballad with two different versions, we loved the original which easily won the hearts of many listeners around the globe, and for good reason, it has powerful vocals, amazing guitar work, and a melody that got stuck in your head, it&rsquo;s understandable why it became one of GNR&rsquo;s most well-known songs.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/zRIbf6JqkNc" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Smells Like Teen Spirit
Release date: September 10
Artist: Nirvana
Relatively new to the scene, Nirvana we thrust into the spotlight with their song &ldquo;Smells Like Teen Spirit&rdquo; making it an anthem for generations to come, not to mention that they became trailblazers in the Grunge genre too.

British rapper Stormzy is getting immortalized at Madame Tussauds as he&rsquo;s one of the latest celebrities set to get his own wax figure by the famous sculptors.
Madame Tussauds London shared the moment they revealed the figure to the &ldquo;Own It&rdquo; rapper where he was shocked by the resemblance saying &ldquo;That&rsquo;s scary, cuz. Oh my days&rdquo;, which even fooled his nephew.
Check out that cute moment below:

The singer revealed that he has been working with the company for some time, stating that he&rsquo;d been asked to develop the figure after he had performed at Glastonbury. He would also reminisce about his time in school when he used to go and look at the wax figures, stating that his figure now joining them gives him the feeling of moving up in the world.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m proud, and I hope, when my fans see my figure, they feel proud too, I was told Madame Tussauds London wanted to make a figure of me just after I performed at Glastonbury, and it really felt like the icing on top of the cake,&rdquo; said Stormzy.
&ldquo;Growing up, going to school, we&rsquo;d go to Madame Tussauds London all the time. For me to be there, it feels like, flipping heck, I&rsquo;m going up in the world,&rdquo; he continued.
&ldquo;You&rsquo;d be hard-pressed to find someone that isn&rsquo;t a Stormzy fan. His chart-topping hits, powerful performances, and important work as an activist have spoken to the nation. Whether you admire him for his music, believe in what he stands for, or just think he&rsquo;s a really nice guy, we know his figure is going to be a fantastic, and important, addition to our Madame Tussauds London line-up,&rdquo; said Tim Waters, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London.
When will it get revealed?
The wax figure is set to be revealed this summer, however, an exact date has not been issued.

Singer Ed Sheeran has been out of the music scene for some time on a break and even had a daughter during his time off, but while he&rsquo;s making a come back now, it almost didn&rsquo;t happen according to a recent interview.
During an interview, Sheeran shared what was on his mind after he had his daughter, as he revealed that he considered retiring from music altogether, and just be a dad.
However, after spending time with his daughter and putting effort into being a father it dawned on him that he&rsquo;d want to set an example for his daughter and show her that her parents have a good work ethic.&nbsp;He also elaborated that stopping playing music made him really sad as he felt like he lost his purpose
What did he say?
&ldquo;I stopped playing music for a bit. And music is entirely me as a person. Then I had my daughter and I was like: &lsquo;Right, that&rsquo;s it. This is me. I am probably just going to be a dad. I am not going to play music anymore,&rsquo;&rdquo; said the singer.
&ldquo;Then I was suddenly like: it is more important for my daughter to grow up knowing that her parents have a work ethic, and her parents love working hard and love creating and enjoy their jobs. Seeing that rather than like looking at your dad who is technically unemployed if that makes sense,&rdquo; he continued.
Did he get back into the flow quickly?
The singer also revealed that he wasn&rsquo;t quick to return to the creative process, as he eased into it slowly, and let things take their time smoothly.
&ldquo;I slowly got back into music that way and the creative process started flowing again, but there was a long period of time where I felt directionless,&rdquo; Sheeran explained.
Check out the full interview below:
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XBwpmXtq5Vk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>How has his comeback been going?
Sheeran has been doing really well in his comeback with his song &ldquo;Bad Habits&rdquo; topping charts everywhere, as well as a collaboration with K-pop megaband BTS which had a lot of people talking.
Still, it&rsquo;s interesting to see how the singer thought about ending his music career just to be a family man, but we&rsquo;re thankful that he didn&rsquo;t.

Last Thursday (July 22), singer Kanye West performed a concert at an Atlanta stadium where he played music from his upcoming album &ldquo;DONDA&rdquo;, but it looks like after he finished he didn&rsquo;t leave the stadium!
He's living where?!
According to TMZ and NME, the singer has not only living quarters in the stadium created for him but a studio space as well so he can finish working on the upcoming highly anticepated album that has been delayed several times before.
But the news didn&rsquo;t stop there, as both publications stated that the singer also brought in a private chef to make his meals for him on location too.
Check out a part of his Thursday performance below:
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/s-JVdX4gHv8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>West is keeping himself entertained
While the singer has been staying there, it seems to have been taking part in the events happening at the venue, as he&rsquo;s been seen watching the football match between Atlanta United FC who call the venue home, and Columbus Crew.
The singer appeared wearing the same clothes that he did during the &ldquo;DONDA&rdquo; concert, a huge puffy bright red jacket with matching pants, black gloves, and a weird brown mask.
Check some of those moments below:

When was the album supposed to come out?
The &ldquo;DONDA&rdquo; album was supposed to release this time last year but has been indefinitely delayed at the time, it would later get July 23, 2021, as a release date, but yet again it was delayed with the release set to be August 6, which seems to be the reason why the singer decided to be living and working in the same place so he can finally release the album.
We&rsquo;ll have to wait and see if West&rsquo;s tenth studio album does release then or will just get delayed as it happened before.

Believe it or not, it&rsquo;s already been a year since megastar Taylor Swift released her album &ldquo;Folklore&rdquo; and to celebrate the singer decided to share a treat with her fans.
The singer first took to social media where she shared a note about the album, as well as thanking her fans for making the album a success, alongside pictures of Swift on a beach somewhere.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been one year since we escaped the real world together and imagined ourselves someplace simpler. With tall tall trees and salt air. Where you&rsquo;re allowed to wear lace nightgowns that make you look like a Victorian ghost every day &amp; no one will side-eye you cause no one is around,&rdquo; captioned Swift.&nbsp;
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just you and your imaginary cabin and the stories you make up to pass the time. To say thank you for all you have done to make this album what it was, I wanted to give you the original version of The Lakes. Happy 1 year anniversary to Rebekah, Betty, Inez, James, Augustine, and the lives we all created around them. Happy Anniversary, folklore,&rdquo; she continued.

The comments section was restricted but fans flocked to like the post reaching over 2.2 million likes in less than a day, but the singer didn&rsquo;t stop there as she also shared a music video for her original rendition of the song &ldquo;The Lakes&rdquo; which had a rather more orchestral vibe than the one we got in the album.
The song was able to bring in over half a million views in less than 24 hours and even trended on YouTube, reaching the number 14 spot at the time of writing this article.
Check out the song below:

Swift&rsquo;s acclaimed eighth studio album was released on July 24, 2020, and was a surprise to everybody, as no one was expecting anything from the singer at the time, but at the same time it offered a different side from the singer with songs like &ldquo;Cardigan&rdquo;, &ldquo;Exile&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Betty&rdquo;.
Swift would later drop another surprise release in December 2020 with the album &ldquo;Evermore&rdquo; which was also both a critical and commercial success.

Last May we reported that a new &ldquo;Predator&rdquo; movie was in the works, and while little was known about the plot back then, a lot of information was revealed in a recent interview.
In an interview with Collider, producers John Davis and John Fox the title of the upcoming movie to be &ldquo;Predator: Skull&rdquo; and will be considered an origin story of when the first-ever predator alien landed on our blue planet.
What will be the main style of the film?&nbsp;
Davis explained that the new movie will go back to its roots and essentially focus on what made the original movie special, a David and Goliath battle, where one is less technologically empowered than the other.
"It goes back to what made the original Predator movie work. It's the ingenuity of a human being who won't give up, who's able to observe and interpret, basically being able to beat a stronger, more powerful, well-armed force," he explained.
On the other hand, Fox compared the upcoming film to "The Revenant" but shied away from revealing more information about the time period.
"It actually has more akin to 'The Revenant' than it does any film in the 'Predator' canon. You'll know what I mean once you see it,&rdquo; explained Fox.
How much of the movie has been done?
Both producers hailed director Dan Trachtenberg and his work on the film, elaborating that he has a unique style and language that is both &ldquo;fresh&rdquo; and &ldquo;cool&rdquo;, they also explained that the director was almost done with the project saying that he&rsquo;s "probably three-quarters of the way through production&rdquo;.
No release date has been revealed yet.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/WaG1KZqrLvM" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Do we have a main lead?
According to NME last May, Native American actress Amber Midthunder has been cast in the leading role, she&rsquo;s no stranger to the Sci-fi world as she previously worked on Marvel&rsquo;s &ldquo;Legion&rdquo; and &ldquo;Roswell, New Mexico&rdquo;, she also set to appear in the upcoming action film &ldquo;The Ice Road&rdquo; starring Liam Neeson and Laurence Fishburne.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/pPVE5q9G1CQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>When was the last movie?
The last film released in the franchise was 2018&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Predator&rdquo; which was a moderate success bringing in double its budget at the box office, however, it wasn&rsquo;t well-received by critics. The original film was released back in 1987 and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the leader of a black-ops squad sent to do a mission in Central America only to find themselves hunted by a deadly predator, not from our planet.

Ever since it was announced that actor Reg&eacute;-Jean Page wasn&rsquo;t going to appear on the second season of &ldquo;Bridgerton&rdquo; and fans were disappointed, but it looks like the actor is getting a lot of work, and it&rsquo;s been announced that he&rsquo;s set to star in the upcoming reimagining of &ldquo;The Saint&rdquo; too!
According to Deadline&rsquo;s sources, Page is set to take over the leading role in the upcoming reimagining of &ldquo;The Saint&rdquo;, however, the plot details are still under wraps so far.
What is it about?
The character is based on Leslie Charteris&rsquo; 1920s book series which was later turned into a TV show back in the 1960s starring "James Bond" himself, Roger Moore.
It followed Simon Templar, who holds the moniker &ldquo;The Saint&rdquo;, who is a world-class thief and conman going on adventures all around the world, however, Deadline's sources claim that the new show will be adapted and reimagined for the modern world.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cFnJWWpkb7w" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>There&rsquo;s still no word on what stage of development the show is currently in, so there&rsquo;s no release date revealed as of yet, and no other casting announcements have been made.
Is this the first time we got a remake?
This isn&rsquo;t the first time &ldquo;The Saint&rdquo; got a reboot, as back in 1997 there was a movie starring Val Kilmer, there was even a series attempt in the 2010s but was later canceled.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qkscr4gDcP8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>What is he up to now?
Page has been getting several job offers since his &ldquo;Bridgerton&rdquo; appearance catching a role in the upcoming &ldquo;Dungeons and Dragons&rdquo; movie, as well as in the new movie called &ldquo;The Gray Man&rdquo; which also stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, and will be directed by The Russo Brothers.

Actor Bob Odenkirk, known for playing the crooked lawyer Saul Goodman in &ldquo;Breaking Bad&rdquo; and &ldquo;Better Call Saul&rdquo; collapsed while on set and was rushed to a hospital.
What happened?
According to TMZ and The Hollywood Reporter, the actor was shooting his scenes for the upcoming sixth and last season of &ldquo;Better Call Saul&rdquo;, when he suddenly collapsed and was rushed to a hospital via ambulance last night.
Is he responsive?
Unfortunately, the sources from both publications didn&rsquo;t know if Odenkirk was responsive or not when he was being transferred to the hospital and what the main cause of the collapse was, but a source close to the actor did state that he was still under the care of doctors for the time being.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/quC2GkURViU" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>His career so far?
Odenkirk has been a household name for some time, especially after he made an impression on viewers when he appeared as the lawyer Saul Goodman in &ldquo;Breaking Bad&rdquo;, and even though his role was relatively a small one, he was able to steal every scene he was in, offering questionable legal advice to the main protagonists of the show Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/lqMq6jLUcg8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The character would later get such a prominent role in the successful series that Odenkirk got his standalone spinoff series that looked at the Goodman&rsquo;s backstory and how he fell from grace.
Odenkirk also starred in a movie titled &ldquo;Nobody&rdquo; in which he played a deadly operative who finally retires becoming a family man only for him to get wronged by bad people leading to all kinds of hilarious but equally bloody action sequences.

As we&rsquo;re already mid-way through 2021, we couldn&rsquo;t help but reminisce about the early 1990s as we were living in the first year of the new decade, so we decided to look back at some of our favorite movies from 1991, which are turning 30 this year.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Release date: July 3
Plot: The T800 was back and it brought its killing style with it, as if followed the same premise as the original, but instead of the machines going for Sarah Connor, they&rsquo;re looking to eliminate a young John Connor.
This movie also pitted two machines against each other, the infamous T800 played by Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting the shape-shifting liquid-metal T1000 model played amazingly by Robert Patrick.
The movie had everything action, horror, amazing special effects, and a great plot that made it superior to the original and a classic to this day.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/CRRlbK5w8AE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Beauty &amp; The Beast
Release date: November 22
Plot: A classic, it followed Belle as she tried to help her father after he got imprisoned in a castle on the outskirts of town, only to find the castle inhabited by a terrifying beast.
The animated feature was truly unforgettable, with amazing singing and dancing numbers, and magical visuals that made us fall in love with it, a truly timeless film no wonder they decided to remake it.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iurbZwxKFUE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Silence of the Lambs
Release date: February 14
Plot:&nbsp;The film focused on a young FBI agent sent to talk to a cannibal serial killer (who used to be a respected forensic psychiatrist) in order to help the agency find and capture another killer on the loose, and that&rsquo;s when the psychological games begin.
Even though Sir Anthony Hopkins had less than 16 minutes of total screen time in the whole movie, he was able to bring the ferocity and horror needed to earn himself an Oscar, and us a lifetime of therapy (but in a good way).
The performances were amazing all-around, with an intense story that had us at the edge of our seats, it&rsquo;s easy to understand why this movie is still held in high regard.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/W6Mm8Sbe__o" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Point Break
Release date: July 12
Plot: An FBI agent is able to infiltrate a group of surfer robbers in order to take them down, only to find that they are adrenaline junkies that take things to the limit pushing him to the edge of doing his duty.
The film is full of action and thrills from surfing to jumping out of planes, it had everything to give viewers the same rush they're seeing on screen, making it an instant cult classic, they even remade it in 2015.

Release date: December 11
Plot: Robin Williams plays an older Peter Pan who&rsquo;s forgotten all about Neverland, but after his kids get kidnapped by the dangerous Captain Hook, he reconnects with his past and childhood to fight his old enemy and bring back his kids home.
The movie brought out the kid in all of us (we were already kids when we watched it the first time though), but Williams&rsquo; comedic timing and warm performance made the movie one of our favorites as children, and we can&rsquo;t wait to watch it again.

After the success of the &ldquo;Pok&eacute;mon: Detective Pikachu&rdquo; live-action movie which starred Ryan Reynolds, and the absence of a sequel, it looks like a new series is in the works.
According to Variety&rsquo;s sources, a new &ldquo;Pok&eacute;mon&rdquo; live-action series is currently in early development with &ldquo;Lucifer&rdquo; showrunner, Joe Henderson, set to write and executive produce.
Since the show is currently in early development, no plot, casting details, or release dates have been revealed yet, Variety&rsquo;s sources also stated that &ldquo;the project would be a live-action series akin to the &lsquo;Detective Pikachu&rsquo;&rdquo;.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1roy4o4tqQM" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Earlier this year, the &ldquo;Pok&eacute;mon&rdquo; company celebrated its 25th anniversary since it launched its franchise to the world, releasing videos reminiscing about the old days up to the latest games and other platforms the company branched out to.
Check it out below:
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iTZeVNwAmkk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The company even reached out to Katty Perry and released a new song called titled &ldquo;Electric&rdquo; which featured Pickachu alongside the singer as she follows a struggling artist on her journey and nudges her towards a talent competition where she can share her music.
&ldquo;Pok&eacute;mon has been a constant in my life from playing the original video games on my Game Boy to trading Pok&eacute;mon TCG cards at lunch to the adventures of catching Pok&eacute;mon on the street with Pok&eacute;mon GO,&rdquo; Perry said in a statement back in January.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve even visited the Pok&eacute;mon Caf&eacute; in Japan while on tour! It is an honor to be chosen to help celebrate a franchise that has given me so much joy in the last 25 years, and to be able to watch it evolve in the ways it&rsquo;s provided that kind of electric joy for the kids in my life and around the world,&rdquo; she continued.
&ldquo;In Katy Perry, we see a kindred spirit to Pok&eacute;mon, whose world is bright, fun, and uplifting. Katy is a wonderful ambassador to help us celebrate 25 years of Pok&eacute;mon, and we can&rsquo;t wait for music fans everywhere to experience the exciting collaborations we have planned,&rdquo; said Colin Palmer, vice president of marketing at The Pok&eacute;mon Company International at the time.

The International Olympic Committee released a statement where they revealed that one of the most fundamental parts of the opening ceremony, the &ldquo;Olympic Oath&rdquo; words have been changed for the upcoming games to be more inclusive, non-discriminatory &amp; offer more equality.
Not only will the words of the actual oath be changed but the number of people reciting it as well, because the IOC have decided to increase the number of people reciting the oath from three to six, comprised of two athletes, two judges, and two coaches, with a diverse set of genders and ethnicities.
&ldquo;The new wording of the Olympic oath results from a set of recommendations drawn up by the IOC Athletes&rsquo; Commission on Rule 50.2 and athlete expression in order to increase opportunities for athlete expression during the Olympic Games. These recommendations were approved by the IOC Executive Board back in April 2021,&rdquo; wrote the IOC in their statement.
The New Oath Reads:&nbsp;
&ldquo;We promise to take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules and in the spirit of fair play, inclusion, and equality. Together we stand in solidarity and commit ourselves to sport without doping, without cheating, without any form of discrimination. We do this for the honor of our teams, in respect for the Fundamental Principles of Olympism, and to make the world a better place through sport."

<figcaption>During the London Olympic games. The older form of the Olympic Oath, where a judge, an athlete and a coach performed the oath.</figcaption>
</figure>
&ldquo;We Olympians are role models and ambassadors. We stand together to send out to the world a powerful message of equality, inclusion, solidarity, peace, and respect. The Olympic oath-takers selected for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will be fully gender-equal and will take the Olympic oath on behalf of all the Olympians, judges, coaches, and officials, who they represent, in the true spirit of solidarity,&rdquo; said IOC Athletes&rsquo; Commission Chair Kirsty Coventry.
The Olympic oath dates back to the Olympic Games Antwerp 1920 with the original text written by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, and read&nbsp; &ldquo;We swear. We will take part in the Olympic Games in a spirit of chivalry, for the honor of our country and for the glory of sport,&rdquo; however, it evolved throughout the years..
The Tokyo Games&rsquo; Opening Ceremony will be broadcast live on Friday, July 23 at 12:55 PM in Egypt.

There&rsquo;s a company in Norway that is working on what many are calling a doomsday vault that will house and preserve a huge variety of the world&rsquo;s most important works of music for years to come.
Dubbed &ldquo;Project ARV&rdquo; or The Global Music Vault, the main goal is to ask &ldquo;the global music world to unite in safeguarding the most important living musical expressions to be celebrated and become our future cultural legacy.&rdquo;
According to NME and the company behind the vault, the music that will be entered within the vault will come from all over the world, and will not focus on a specific country or genre, but rather a global initiative gathering a wide array of options.

</figure>
&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want to just protect a certain genre and certain era,&rdquo; commented Luke Jenkinson, managing director of the Global Music Vault.
If you&rsquo;re asking yourself &ldquo;where is this vault going to be?&rdquo;, the company states that it will be set &ldquo;deep inside an arctic mountain in far north Norway, on the Svalbard archipelago&rdquo; which has been declared a demilitarized zone by 42 nations.
The location was chosen for its safety, security, and remoteness which made it perfect to contain such valuable information, the company added that the cool and dry permafrost conditions increase the longevity of the stored data.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Got7KxjCZQ0" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The location is also said to be able to withstand natural and man-made disasters with NME stating that it can survive electromagnetic pulses from a nuclear explosion that would normally destroy and damage electronic devices in normal conditions.
NME also stated that a global committee will work with various business groups to select the &ldquo;most precious and loved&rdquo; music from all over the world, with the public choosing what to be added into the submissions.
The company hopes to have the vault completed in early 2022.

A Global Music Vault is being made by a Norwegian company.

&ldquo;Muja&rdquo; the Alligator in Belgrade Zoo is the oldest alligator in captivity in the world, and this year the amazing animal is reaching the ripe old age of 85.
It&rsquo;s not known exactly when Muja was born but the creature was transferred to the zoo in 1937 already an adult so that means that the alligator is likely older than 85 but unfortunately, we don't have the exact number.
Muja is a survivor
Muja is one lucky alligator as it almost died two times during WWII when the city was bombed twice with the zoo being almost completely destroyed, thankfully the creature was not harmed; similarly, there was also the NATO bombing of the area in the 1990s but Muja was also able to survive.
The alligator also had a brush with death back in 2012 when one of its legs contracted gangrene which then needed to get amputated, however, besides that the animal has been alive and well, with food brought to it as because of its age it can&rsquo;t hunt anymore.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/DZnCk_Ho6OI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>It entered the Guinness World Records on May 22, 2018, at the age of 80 when it became the oldest living alligator when the holder of the record at the time passed away.
The average lifespan of an American alligator, of which Muja is a member, is from 30 to 50 years, so the animal is already surpassing at an impressive range.
We&rsquo;re not sure if the alligator will surpass the age of a hundred but there&rsquo;s a Nile crocodile named Henry that is already older, still surviving at the tender age of 120 at the Crocworld Conservation Centre in South Africa.

Muja the oldest alligator in the world is becoming 85 this year!

In a small bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and whisk to dissolve sugar and corn starch (warm stock will help dissolve the sugar faster) then set sauce aside.
Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces and season lightly with pepper, then heat a large heavy skillet or wok over medium/high heat, then you&rsquo;re going to add a tablespoon of oil, when it gets sizzling add in your chicken in a single layer and let it sit undisturbed for a minute to get a good sear then stir fry for another five minutes or until golden brown and just cooked through then remove to a bowl and loosely cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil along with broccoli florets, sliced onion, and sliced mushrooms; stir fry for three minutes or until mushrooms are softened and broccoli is crispy and tender then reduce heat to medium/low.
Give the sauce a quick stir just in case there was any settling of starch and pour all of it over the vegetables, then simmer for three to four minutes or until sauce is thickened and garlic and ginger mellowed in flavor. (To thin the sauce, add water a tablespoon at a time.)
Return chicken to the pan and stir for another 30 seconds or until heated through. Add more soy sauce to taste if needed and serve over hot rice.

Bread dough Ingredients:
3 and 1/2 cups of sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 cup of whole milk
1/4 cup of water
5 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup of sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of active dry yeast
Apple filling ingredients:
8 tablespoons of unsalted butter (1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
4 cups of peeled and grated apples&nbsp;
2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
Glaze ingredients:
3 tablespoon of unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon of heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup of powdered sugar
Method for the apple bread:
Cover two bread pans with parchment paper, butter sides or you can spray with baking spray, meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 C.&nbsp;
In a small saucepan, add butter, milk, water, and sugar. stirring frequently as you do, then cook until the milk becomes warm and butter melts. (note: if the milk gets too hot, let it cool until just warm to touch)
Sprinkle yeast over the warm milk and stir, then cover the bowl and allow the yeast to activate and become foamy which will take about five minutes, after that is done stir in 2 beaten eggs.
Add flour to a large mixing bowl, form a well in the center, and add the warm milk mixture.&nbsp;
Fold in the flour until the dough is soft, and no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl. (note: add additional one tablespoon of flour at a time as needed until dough no longer sticks to the bowl) then cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for about an hour at room temperature.
Transfer the dough to a generously floured work surface. lightly sprinkle top with flour and use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle (about 18&rdquo;x20&rdquo;)
In a small bowl, use a fork to combine butter and vanilla, then spread the butter evenly over the rolled dough, after that spread the grated or diced apples evenly over the top. combine the cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle evenly over the dough.
Cut dough into 5 long uniform strips, then cut the strips into squares. You&rsquo;ll need to stack the dough and transfer it to bread pans dividing the dough between the two pans, loosely stacking the squares on their sides.&nbsp;
Cover pans with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise 30 minutes, then bake uncovered at 180 C for 25 to 30 minutes until bread is golden in color.&nbsp;
Allow bread to cool completely before applying the glaze.
Method for the glaze:
In a saucepan, on medium/high heat, combine butter, sugar, and vanilla then bring the mix to a light boil, after that add heavy whipping cream, stir to combine, and finally, remove from heat. Set aside to cool; once the glaze is cooled, add the powdered sugar.&nbsp;
set glaze aside to thicken then drizzle or spread over the cooled apple bread.
(note: this makes about 2 apple bread loaves)

While fans of the &ldquo;RoboCop&rdquo; franchise and movies have been asking for years to see the character brought to the video gaming world, it looks like it&rsquo;s finally happening but it will take some time to see it.
Revealed during Nacon Connect 2021, a teaser trailer dropped for &ldquo;RoboCop: Rogue City&rdquo;, that showed off the title, some buildings of Chicago, the release date, and the famous protagonist&rsquo;s hip as the gun flips out.
While it doesn&rsquo;t give us much to work with, IGN revealed that the game is supposed to be a first-person action-adventure game based on the 1987 RoboCop franchise and the first three films.
Check out the trailer below:
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/j2TL1TgJUfk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Does that mean that we&rsquo;ll get to experience the main character&rsquo;s tragic origin story yet again, as he transitions from officer Alex Murphey to the famed RoboCop after a painful event? We don&rsquo;t know but it seems so.
"We&rsquo;re very much looking forward to collaborating with Nacon and Teyon to bring one of MGM&rsquo;s most timeless IPs back to gaming platforms with a brand-new story," MGM vice president of global consumer products and experiences Robert Marick said.
"The film is known for gripping action and complex storytelling, and we are excited for RoboCop fans to experience this first hand through the game," he continued.
Unfortunately for those waiting on the game, they&rsquo;ll have to wait a bit more as the game is expected to release some time in 2023, and of course that is also subject to change.
The last time we saw RoboCop in a video game is when he was introduced as a playable character in &ldquo;Mortal Kombat 11&rdquo;.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VEUrIoCHMew?start=126&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>

RoboCop is getting his own game titled "RoboCop: Rogue City" in 2023.

“RoboCop” Is Getting His Very Own Videogame… In 2023

&ldquo;Call of Duty: Warzone&rdquo; is enjoyed by millions from around the world, and as more and more characters get introduced, it was a matter of time before Arab characters get in the mix, and while we've seen many from fictional countries this time we got a playable Egyptian character who's on the good side rather than affiliated to the stereotypical bad-guy role; he&rsquo;s named Salah too!
Salah is going to be part of the fourth season of the massive online shooter as well as the multiplayer part of &ldquo;Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War&rdquo; so fans will be able to enjoy the character on both platforms.
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1623872729-E38oovlWUAA1L_L.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="348" />What do we know about the character?
We actually know a bunch of information about the character, he was born 16-8-1957, he speaks Arabic, he is in the Egyptian Special Forces Unit-777, which is helping NATO fight against a group of terrorists called "The Jackals" in the game.
According to the game&rsquo;s file for him, he&rsquo;s also a morale booster for his team, and famous for his positive attitude, helping his fellow soldiers both on and off the field, he&rsquo;s also idealistic, and enthusiastic too.
In the press release photo, you can see that the character is wearing three patches written on them in Arabic, the first is near his heart with the words &ldquo;mohareb&rdquo; meaning &ldquo;warrior&rdquo;, the second is on his chest with a logo of a lion on top of a skull with the words &ldquo;Al-walaa&rsquo; Lilwatan&rdquo; which translates to &ldquo;My loyalty is to my country&rdquo;, and finally the third is on the left side of his torso which features a skull with wings and the words &ldquo;Qatel al-a&rsquo;adaa&rsquo;&rdquo; which is Arabic for &ldquo;Enemy killer&rdquo;.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1623872185-cod_salah_-_Copy.png" alt="" width="620" height="494" />
<figcaption>Visible patches</figcaption>
</figure>
&ldquo;A member of the CIA-led squadron that infiltrated the Algerian satellite crash site, Salah has a wealth of combat and negotiation skills that make him an invaluable member of NATO&rsquo;s finest,&rdquo; reads the official press release about the character.
&ldquo;A member of Egypt&rsquo;s elite Unit 777, Salah is a Counterterrorism and Hostage Rescue expert. Always positive and quick to see the best in people, he will always have your back,&rdquo; it continues.&nbsp;
The character will be released amongst the bundle offerings in the game and can be seen in one along with a Komodo dragon, but we still don&rsquo;t know how that will come into play.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iaMNDKmZ0UM" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>This isn't the first time we've seen Egypt in the "Call of Duty" games as there was that one time where players fought alongside the Egyptian military in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" and while yes, there was Azur in the "Warzone" platform he was again put in with the fictional terrorist group "The Jackals".

The popular social media platform, Twitter, added a new language option &ldquo;Arabic (Feminine)&rdquo; for those who want to use the feminine grammar of the language on the platform as part of its inclusion and diversity drive.
Twitter made the announcement on their official blog in which they explained that there are several languages over the world including Arabic, that has both a masculine and a feminine format for its grammar so it would be only natural to provide the two options to accommodate users and be more inclusive.
&ldquo;People across the world come to Twitter to discuss what&rsquo;s happening, and we want our service to better reflect the many voices that shape the conversation. In some languages, such as Arabic, words can be feminine or masculine, but we&rsquo;ve missed a way for people to tell us how they want to be addressed. So today, we're introducing a new language setting that acknowledges and better supports the Arabic feminine form,&rdquo; wrote Twitter.
So words like Tweet and Explore would be &ldquo;غرّدي&ldquo; aka &ldquo;Gharidi&rdquo; instead of the masculine &ldquo;غرّد&rdquo; aka &ldquo;Gharid&rdquo; and &ldquo;إستكشفي&rdquo; aka &ldquo;Estakshifi&rdquo; instead of &ldquo;إستكشف&rdquo; aka &ldquo;Estakshif&rdquo;, and so on.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

If you&rsquo;re interested in changing the language on your phone or computer, log in on Twitter, then go to &ldquo;Settings and privacy,&rdquo; then &ldquo;Accessibility, display, and languages.&rdquo; Next, select &ldquo;Languages&rdquo;, go to &ldquo;Display language&rdquo;, and finally select&nbsp; &ldquo;Arabic (feminine)&rdquo;.
The post was received with mixed reactions from users, while there were trolls who posted toxic messages, the rest were messages of support for female empowerment, equality, and representation over in tech and social media.

Twitter adds "Arabic (Feminine)" in its language options for diversity and inclusion.

If you&rsquo;ve been having a problem accessing some of the most popular websites in the world you&rsquo;re not alone, as a global outage struck several of them early this morning.
Who got affected?
Websites including Reddit, Spotify, Twitch, Stack Overflow, GitHub, gov.uk, Hulu, HBO Max, Quora, PayPal, Vimeo, Shopify, Stripe, CNN, The Guardian, The New York Times, BBC, and Financial Times have all been having issues, as well as Amazon but the eCommerce website was able to reactivate quickly.
What's wrong?
According to several publications including Reuters and TechCrunch, the issue arose from a glitch happening at Fastly which is a Content delivery network (CDN) provider to many well-known websites; the problem was also confirmed by The Financial Times product manager, Matt Taylor.
&ldquo;Fastly, the CDN provider, is having a massive outage, resulting in Twitch, Pinterest, Reddit, The Guardian, and the FT returning 503 errors,&rdquo; wrote Taylor.

Has it been fixed?
This afternoon the issues were finally identified by Fastly after over an hour of errors and the company was able to patch the issue and resolve it once and for all, but advised that it is still monitoring the situation globally to find the source of the problem, and maintain that all the websites using their CDN are functioning properly.

Fastly also shared a timeline of its process to work on a solution that happened due to its outage, detailing the start process, investigation, updates, and finally the resolution of the issue, while keeping transparent with their users, explaining that most of the websites using their service will still have degraded performance for the time being until the issue is completely fixed.

The long-awaited &ldquo;God Of War&rdquo; sequel will unfortunately not be coming out this year, but for a couple of good reasons.
During a Q&amp;A session with Herman Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios, it was revealed that the company is focusing on two upcoming narrative-driven games &ldquo;Horizon Forbidden West&rdquo; and the yet to be titled &ldquo;God Of War&rdquo; &ldquo;sequel, but while Hulst explained that &ldquo;Horizon&rdquo; was still on track to release during this year&rsquo;s holiday season, the &ldquo;God Of War&rdquo; sequel will be released "a little later", which puts it in 2022.
"So we have, currently, two very big, very narrative-driven games in development: Horizon Forbidden West and the next God of War. And for both of those, they&rsquo;re frankly affected by access to performance capture and talent," Hulst said in the Q&amp;A.
"For Horizon, we think we are on track to release this holiday season. But that isn&rsquo;t quite certain yet, and we&rsquo;re working as hard as we can to confirm that to you as soon as we can,&rdquo; he continued.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/WpgXz5Z9v-U" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Why was it delayed?
The reasoning behind the delay is so that Sony can give Santa Monica Studio (the studio developing the game) enough time to make sure they come out with a game that will offer an amazing experience and to be certain the game would come out completely without issues for both PS4 and PS5.
"And for God of War, the project started a little later. So we&rsquo;ve made the decision to push that game out to next year, to ensure that Santa Monica Studio can deliver the amazing God of War game that we all want to play. With these things, something&rsquo;s gotta give. It cannot be the quality of our titles, and it surely won&rsquo;t be the health or the wellbeing of our amazing team," Hulst explained.
"You can&rsquo;t build a community of over 110 million PS4 owners and then just walk away from it, right? I think that&rsquo;d be bad news for fans of PS4, and frankly not very good business," Hulst said. Where it makes sense to develop a title for both PS4 and PS5 &mdash; for &lsquo;Horizon Forbidden West&rsquo;, the next &lsquo;God of War&rsquo;, &lsquo;GT7 &lsquo;&mdash; we&rsquo;ll continue looking at that. And if PS4 owners want to play that game, then they can. If they want to go on and play the PS5 version, that game will be there for them."
Santa Monica Studio's response
Santa Monica Studio also released a statement on Twitter mirroring what Huslt stated in the interview, writing: &ldquo;We remain focused on delivering a top-quality game while maintaining that safety and wellbeing of our team, creative partners, and families. With this in mind, we've made the decision to shift our release window to 2022."
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1622712025-E25HwW7UcAEAq2B.png" alt="" />During last year&rsquo;s PS5 event Santa Monica Studios released a teaser trailer that had a lot of gamers excited, as it was the first trailer for the game and featured the name &ldquo;God of War: Ragnarok&rdquo; which hinted at an upcoming battle for the world, as teased at the end of the original game.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Ty7WudwSKMA" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>How was the original game?
The 2018 &ldquo;God of War&rdquo; was a reboot for the franchise, and was both commercially and critically successful, with many hailing it as one of the best games to ever release on the PS4.
The game followed a grizzled Kratos as he takes a trip along with his son to spread his wife&rsquo;s ashes on top of a mountain after her passing, but things are not as what they seem, turning the simple task into a father-son adventure of legendary proportions.

Fans have been waiting for the sequel to 2018's "God Of War" but it seems like the game has been delayed to 2022.

Highly-Anticipated “God Of War” Sequel Delayed To 2022

The highly-anticipated &ldquo;Battlefield 6&rdquo; has been plagued with leaks for a couple of months now, as bits and pieces of the upcoming trailer circulated the interwebs, but now Electronic Arts (EA), and developer DICE decided that they give players what they want and announced when they&rsquo;d be able to see the first trailer for the game.
The company took to social media where they announced that the date for the upcoming &ldquo;Battlefield 6&rdquo; reveal trailer is set to release on June 9 at 4 PM Egypt time.
No numbers?
Interestingly, the company didn&rsquo;t attach a number to the upcoming game simply titling it &ldquo;Battlefield&rdquo; which is weird since the past few games have been having numbers at the end of the with &ldquo;Battlefield 5 (V)&rdquo; being the latest one to do so.
The teaser doesn&rsquo;t have much in it, only a short video of a glitchy screen that lights up with the game&rsquo;s name and the trailer release date, all while a heavy version of the game&rsquo;s theme song played in the background.
Check out the post below:

Gamers seem to be excited as the video was able to amass over 2.7 million views in less than 24 hours.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re in daily playtesting mode right now: polishing, balancing and making the best possible Battlefield game we can,&rdquo; Skar Gabrielson, general manager at DICE told Polygon in April.
&ldquo;I can tell you it is a bold step. It has everything we love about Battlefield &mdash; and takes all of it to the next level. Epic scale. All-out military warfare. Crazy, unexpected moments. Game-changing destruction. Massive battles, packed with more players and mayhem than ever before. All brought to life with the power of next-gen consoles and PCs,&rdquo; he continued.
While we don&rsquo;t really know much about the plot of the upcoming game, we can assume that the events in it will take place in current times, which is a step back into the modern era which will be the first &ldquo;Battlefield&rdquo; game to do so since 2013&rsquo;s &ldquo;Battlefield 4&rdquo;.

It's been less than a year since the PlayStation 5&rsquo;s release and reports are now coming out that Sony is looking into redesigning it in 2022 but thankfully it will only be internally.
The news comes from Taiwanese business outlet DigiTimes which stated that according to its sources in the industry that get a &ldquo;new semi-customized&rdquo; 6nm CPU from AMD since the older version was more expensive to make, and that the device is getting a power boost compared the one available today.
DigiTimes also elaborated stating that the device will remain the same externally retaining the futuristic look, but rather the changes will only affect the internals of the gaming console.
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RkC0l4iekYo" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>This comes in the heels of a recent investor call where &ldquo;Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki said the company was considering various solutions to help it cope with the global shortage of hardware components, including potentially altering hardware designs or sourcing secondary suppliers, according to Video Games Chronicle.
The console had already made waves when it was announced that it had exceeded the forecasting sales for the time period, with 7.8 million consoles sold rather than 7.6 million; still, the start of production for the device has been a bumpy one especially that it wasn&rsquo;t available for many of the gamers that wanted the device which led to mark up in prices and in turn led to many consumers' outcry.

The &ldquo;Star Wars&rdquo; lightsabers are considered to be one of the most iconic weapons in the world of movies, elegant, and sophisticated it&rsquo;s unmatched in its simplistic beauty, and while toys have tried to replicate its look they all appear stiff in comparison, but on Star Wars Day (May 4) Disney revealed a &ldquo;realistic&rdquo; retractable lightsaber that has everybody talking.
The device had been hinted at back in April, but Disney decided to reveal the new device on a more fitting date May 4 aka Star Wars day; the new lightsaber doesn&rsquo;t require any awkward plastic prop blades to get snapped into position but instead features a retractable light-up blade that extends out from the hilt exactly like what happens in the movie, albeit the blade looks a bit shorter than usual.
Check it out below:
<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PwxfREj4Swo" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Some people looked at the patent registered by Disney, and think to have the concept behind the device figured out as the new blade works almost like a modified, motorized tape measure, retracting and extending a sheet of plastic and LED lights to mimic the ignition effect, that was made famous in the movies.

According to IGN and The Verge it&rsquo;s going to be part of the Star Wars: &nbsp;Galactic Starcruiser hotel/experience at Walt Disney World in 2022 where guests can "interact with an eclectic group of characters both familiar and new, possibly including the starcruiser&rsquo;s strong and charismatic captain, a plucky ship&rsquo;s mechanic and a galactic superstar who can captivate an entire room with the crook of one jewel-encrusted purple Twi&rsquo;lek finger," and "train in the ancient ways of the lightsaber."

Egypt has been continuously working hard to retrieve stolen and smuggled ancient Egyptian artifacts from around the globe, and last night it was announced that one such artifact was retrieved thanks to efforts by the Egyptian Government and Dutch Authorities.
What did the announcement include?
The announcement was posted on the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities' Facebook page where it revealed the news that it coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and worked with the Egyptian Embassy as well as the Dutch authorities to retrieve antiquities smuggled outside of the country and succeeded in recovering the legless statue of the priest "Ni Kao Ptah" from the era of the Old Kingdom.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmoantiquities%2Fposts%2F184699203691634&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="765" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>How was the artifact found?
Shaaban Abdel-Gawad, General Supervisor of the Administration of Recovered Antiquities, explained that this statue was offered for sale at the annual European Exhibition of Fine Arts aka &ldquo;Tefaf&rdquo; in Maastricht, the Netherlands, which was later found out to have been illegally smuggled out of Egypt, and not held by a museum or affiliated with the Supreme Council of Antiquities.
What does the artifact look like?
Abdel-Gawad gave a description of the rescued statue which depicts an ancient Egyptian priest by the name of "Ni Kao Ptah" standing with his arms by his sides, and he wears a short kilt, with the priest&rsquo;s name engraved on his right arm.
Yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handed over the artifact to a committee of experts at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities to examine the statue further and determine if there are restoration efforts required for it, as well as offer it a new home in one of Egypt&rsquo;s museums.
In the post, the Ministries of Tourism, Antiquities, and Foreign Affairs expressed their sincere appreciation to the Dutch authorities and their efforts, and the distinguished cooperation they have shown with the Egyptian Embassy in The Hague to restore the Egyptian artifact and return it.

The celebration comes as part of the Egyptian Civilization and Heritage Month which happens annually during the month of July, earlier this month Canada&rsquo;s tallest tower the &ldquo;CN Tower&rdquo; was also lit up in the colors of the Egyptian flag at sunset on July 2, which was the second time this happens in 30 years.
The Minister of Immigration, Ambassador Nabila Makram Abdel-Shaheed, said at the time that the celebration of Egyptian Civilization and Heritage Month in Canada comes within the framework of the influential Egyptian community's work in the Canadian society, to acquaint the world with Egypt's long and rich history, and to show Egypt&rsquo;s pivotal role where its lands was a melting pot of different civilizations and cultures.

There are several successful Egyptian symbols in a diverse set of fields that need to share a message of community and peace with the Canadian people through authentic Egyptian arts, sciences, customs, and traditions.
&ldquo;The celebrations for Egypt&rsquo;s civilization and heritage month will include broadcasting events and exclusive meetings for symbols in art, literature, and culture in Egypt on Saturday and Sunday of every week throughout July,&rdquo; the Canadian Egyptian Heritage Association in Canada said earlier in July.

Out of the many iconic voices in the world, Punk Rock legend Iggy Pop has been selected to narrate an upcoming documentary celebrating Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
Titled &ldquo;Tutankhamun: The Last Exhibition&rdquo;, the documentary is set to celebrate the child king, commemorate his tomb&rsquo;s discovery that was made back in 1922, and his last record-breaking international exhibition in Los Angeles in 2019 that under the title King Tut: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh.
The documentary is produced by acclaimed antiquities photographer Sandro Vannini&rsquo;s Laboratoriorosso Srl in partnership with Franco di Sarro&rsquo;s Nexo Digital, with Vannini serving as producer and director of photography, and will also appear in the documentary.
Vannini explained that they wanted a different approach when it came to the narration of the documentary to offer a new appeal, that&rsquo;s why they decided to go for musicians for narration, for example in the Italian version it's narrated by Italian singer Manuel Agnelli, while the international version will be narrated by Pop, who is famed for his deep gravely voice that will work perfectly for the subject matter.
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/564528799?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe>
&ldquo;We were looking for somebody that could give a different appeal to the narration of the movie, and we thought of [Pop] and he accepted,&rdquo;&nbsp; said Nexus Digital&rsquo;s Rosella Gioffr&eacute;.
&ldquo;When we heard his voice for the first time we said this is the voice. This is what we need for this film. The voice of Iggy Pop is simply incredible, When he read the story that he was going to narrate he was immediately keen to work with us,&rdquo; Vannini told Variety.
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1626076778-Tutankhamun_ONESHEET_poster-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="918" />The documentary was supposed to get released back in 2020, however, when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, it got delayed, which was both a curse and a blessing since now the documentary would release on the centenary anniversary of the tomb&rsquo;s discovery.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re more than happy because we&rsquo;re going to hit the centenary of the discovery,&rdquo; said Gioffr&eacute;.
