Notice how modern "Brahmic" scripts have evolved over time. The Brahmi script is said to be close to 3,000 years old. Its origins are not known clearly, but it has links to Aramaic. Most of the scripts in South Asia and Southeast Asia including those of Burmese, Thai, Javanese are derived from it.

Turbulence is not random.

From the Andes and Himalayas to the Rockies and Alps, certain flight paths are consistently rough due to towering mountains, shifting wind patterns, and powerful jet streams. These are the forces behind every bump and jolt in the sky. 🏔️✈️🌪️
The most turbulent flight routes on each continent:

🇦🇷 Mendoza → 🇨🇱 Santiago (South America)
🇳🇵 Kathmandu → 🇨🇳 Lhasa (Asia)
🇺🇸 Albuquerque → 🇺🇸 Denver (North America)
🇫🇷 Nice → 🇨🇭 Geneva (Europe)
🇿🇦 Durban → 🇿🇦 Johannesburg (Africa)
🇳🇿 Christchurch → 🇳🇿 Wellington (Oceania)

That's why you can't do things like this in academia.
