Your belly button is formed from scar tissue left over from the umbilical cord that
connected you to your mother’s placenta. Once the umbilical cord was cut, the nub that was left behind fell off, leaving you with what is now your strange, but beautiful, belly button.
In a 2012 scientists investigated the biological diversity found in 60 belly buttons and identified a total of 2,368 different species living within those strange, ominous holes.
The average person had about 67 species of bacteria crawling around in there.
Greek Christian monks of Mount Athos used a particular method of “navel contemplation” called Hesychasm, which was believed to give them a broader insight into divine glory.
