Amber (with insect) — TIME: trapped DNA survives 100 million years | Hyle Error

This insect died before the first flower ever bloomed.

Trapped in amber for 100 million years, this creature predates entire branches of life on Earth. The ancient Greeks called this golden resin *elektron* — and that word became *electricity*, the force powering every device you're holding right now. Time doesn't always destroy. Sometimes it preserves.
