Former Kentucky swimmer #RileyGaines was among more than a dozen college athletes who filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on Thursday, accusing it of violating their Title IX rights by allowing transgender #woman #LiaThomas to compete at the national championships in 2022.

The #lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, details the shock Gaines and other swimmers felt when they learned they would have to share a locker room with Thomas at the championships in #Atlanta. It documents a number of races they swam in with Thomas, including the 200-yard final in which Thomas and Gaines tied for fifth but Thomas, not Gaines, was handed the fifth-place trophy.

In #1969, at the #Siberian #village of #Rzhavchik in the Soviet Union, a remarkable event unfolded. Deep beneath the surface, a miner named Ivan Karnaukhov discovered an 800 million-year-old #sarcophagus with a #woman inside.

The beauty lying in the sarcophagus soon became known as the Tisul Princess, with Tisul being the name of the district where the Rzhavchik village was located. Eventually, the high-ranking Soviet officials from the district arrived. Accompanying them were KGB agents.

Just six months after the KGB confiscated the sarcophagus, a wave of misfortune swept over the village of Rzhavchik. Tragedy struck relentlessly, beginning with Ivan Karnaukhov, the man who discovered the sarcophagus of the Tissul Princess. His life was cut short in a harrowing accident.

A month after his death, a miner met his demise by drowning. The sole survivor of these ominous events was geologist Vladimir Podreshetnikov, who revealed that the discovery of the Tisul princess was not the only one of its kind. Valery Malevanny, a retired KGB agent, stated that in #1973, additional sarcophagi were uncovered. These #sarcophagi were transported to #Moscow and were estimated to be around 200 million-year-old.
