The event will also feature the world’s largest radio satellite that can detect alien life.
It will be joined by some other very intriguing features, including a 4D ‘bioprinter’ that can reproduce live cells.
There’s even a robot band performing and they’re said to be Beethoven-inspired. Wonder what the 5th Symphony would sound like in autotune?
Our oldest known sister to the human race, aged 3.2 million years old, Lucy, will make a guest appearance, in fossil form, at the Ethiopian Pavilion at Expo 2020.
This fossil was discovered in 1974 between a bunch of ravines at Hadar in northern Ethiopia.
Anthropologist Donald Johanson and his student Tom Gray nicknamed her “Lucy.”
People visiting the Ethiopian pavilion will get to see the oldest humanoid fossil and other archaeological sources that take part in Ethiopia heritage, said Ambassador Jerusalem Amdemariam Tadesse, Consul-General of Ethiopia to Khaleej Times in an interview.
“Ethiopia is as old as time itself. It is the cradle of humanity where humans first began to walk upright. Our pavilion will showcase Ethiopia as a land of origins and opportunities,” she said.
From October 1 2021, various attraction packages will be offered in the mentioned half-day, full-day or three-day formats as well as guided or self-guided journeys being available through the Expo 2020 mobile app should you prefer to explore at your own pace.
“Expo 2020 is for explorers, foodies, and culture enthusiasts, for children, for grandparents, for entrepreneurs, inventors, and business travelers, for the casual tourist, and for the curious who want to experience the future – now,” says Vice President of Market Strategy and Sales.
