Experts believe the family may have died from the plague or were butchered by Nomadic tribes. Researchers say that the depth of the burial – 16 feet (five metres) underground…

Around 1,100 years ago, a teenage girl in early mediaeval England met a horrible end, her nose and lips were cut off by a sharp weapon, and she may have been scalped, according to a new analysis of her skull. Nobody knows why the face of the young woman has been mutilated, but her injuries consist of the punishment of women historically given to female offenders.  st If her injuries were punishable, she is the first person recorded in English-Saxon England to receive harsh punishment for the disfigurement of her face. Researchers wrote in a new study published online in the…

A stone knife, mastodon bones and fossilized dung Discovered in an underwater sinkhole show that humans lived in north Florida about 14,500 years ago, according to new research that recommends the colonization of the Americas was far more complex than originally believed. Archaeologists have known about the sinkhole in the Aucilla river, south of Tallahᴀssee, for years. But they recently dived back into the hole to excavate what they call clear proof that ancient mankind spread throughout the Americas about 1,500 years earlier than previously thought. Almost 200ft wide and 35ft deep, the sinkhole was “as dark as the inside of a cow, literally no…

The Horse Ring of Ramses II, also known as the Ring with Horses, is dated approximately between 1279 and 1213 BC. It belongs to ancient Egyptian art. In 1827, the ring was given to King Charles X of France (King of France and Navarre) by the wali (governor) of Egypt, Muhammad Αli Pasha. From that year onwards, it became part of the Louvre Museum in Paris, forming part of its Egyptian antiquities collection. Who was Ramses II?

The galli were priests who formed the cult of the goddess Cybele (Magna Mater in Rome) and her consort Attis. Because of the galli’s adoption of women’s clothing and jewelry, self-castration, and preference for anal intercourse, all of which violated Roman gender norms, they present an interesting juxtaposition to what was expected of men in ancient Rome. It is thought that the cult originated in Mesopotamia and then traveled to Greece around 300 BC. It then arrived in Rome as the cult of Magna Mater in the 3 rd century BC. Originally, its sacred symbol, a black meteorite, was located in a…

Archaeologists exploring the ancient Peruvian city of Chan Chan have uncovered the skeletal remains of 25 people in one medium-sized burial site. The men, women, and children interred there would have belonged to Peru’s legendary Chimú people, who built a sophisticated civilization that endured for more than five centuries before giving way to the Inca. The Chan Chan burial site may or may not have been reserved for the members of one specific family (DNA testing will be needed to see if the people in the grave were related). Notably, none of these individuals were more than 30 years old…

Climate change is converting the world’s oldest mummies into black slime, which were buried more than 7,000 years ago in the arid desert of northern Chile. Increasing humidity has been observed to cause an outbreak of bacteria living on the preserved skin of Chinchorro mummies, according to scientists. The bacteria then feeds on the ancient skin, causing it to break down into black slime. Researchers say that rising humidity levels in Arica, Chile, is putting the 120 Chinchorro mummies at the University of Tarapacá’s archaeological museum at risk. The preserved skin on the outside of Chinchorro mummies in Arica, northern Chile,…

After months of speculation, it is done. The Brooklyn Nets have finally traded Kevin Durant, and it came not long after they traded Kyrie Irving. We are clearly in an era of superstars wanting to change teams all the time, and Durant is the best player to have been traded over the past few years. With Durant in Phoenix, the entire landscape of the NBA has changed. Obviously, Kevin Durant is having another MVP-caliber season over the time he has been healthy.

Winning an award in the NBA is something special. If you think back to the start of the league, a maximum of 75 players have ever been named the most valuable player. If you throw in the other awards, it’s probably safe to say that a small percentage of players have ever been truly honored. That is the point, though. The NBA is not a participation trophy league. It features professionals that are in the top percent of the world playing a game that many wished they could play in front of thousands of people 82 times a year. Many…

Even though he is no longer in possession of the all-time scoring title, there’s no doubt that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of the greatest scorers ever. A recent report by TMZ Sports revealed that the…

The Kevin Durant trade is one of the biggest trade deadline moves in NBA history. It is clear that this was a move that altered the landscape of the league, and the Phoenix Suns should be considered the favorite in the Western Conference. The Phoenix Suns had to give up Mikal Bridges in the deal for Kevin Durant, and it is easy to see why. He was a DPOY candidate during the 2021-22 season, and he is clearly a valuable two-way player. Some players would be mad at their team for trading them, but it seems as though Mikal Bridges understands that the NBA is…

The Los Angeles Lakers have made serious moves ahead of the trade deadline to improve their roster. The team’s construction was questioned all season long before they went ahead and made some serious moves to alleviate that. Rob Pelinka managed to add D’Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, Mo Bamba, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt without giving up both first-round picks. These moves also included moving on from Russell Westbrook, which seems like a huge move for them as well. The Los Angeles Lakers dealt Patrick Beverley too, and considering that his offense was floundering that too will prove to be a good move. But…
