Along the ѕһoгeѕ of Israel’s Mediterranean coast, in the ancient seaport of Ashkelon, archaeologist Ross Voss made a ɡгᴜeѕome find. While exploring one of the city’s sewers, he discovered a large number of small bones. Initially, the bones were believed to be chicken bones. However, it was later discovered that the bones were actually human –infant bones from the Roman eга. With the remains amounting to more than 100 babies, it was the largest discovery of infant remains to date.

A vast 4,500-year-old network of ‘funerary avenues’ lined with well-preserved Bronze Age tombs has been uncovered in Saudi Arabia. In a new paper, researchers detail the arrangement of around 18,000 tombs, spanning thousands of miles in the Saudi Arabian counties of Al-‘Ula and Khaybar. They consist of small piles of stone arranged in elaborate shapes, marking the spot where either single individuals or small groups were buried, experts say. The burials are described as ‘pendant’ tombs because they resemble circular pieces of jewellery attached to a chain, or ‘tail’. University of Western Australia archaeologists describes ancient highways in their new…
Researchers have unveiled details of a new dinosaur species, Oksoko avarsan, which had a parrot-like beak and just two functional digits on its forearms – one fewer than its close relatives, suggesting an ability to diversify and adapt to new surroundings. Based on six years of research, the experts behind this study say that the toothless, feather-covered dinosaur would have lived around 72-66 million years ago, growing to some two metres (6.6 feet) in length as an adult. It’s what the species tells us about the evolution of the oviraptor family of dinos that’s most interesting though: a species losing a functional finger…
The number of archaeological objects officially unearthed in Britain has reached the 1.5million mark – with the discovery of a seal belonging to a 13th-century pope. The medieval find, which is more than 750 years old, was a seal of Pope Innocent IV and may have links to an English monarch. Born Sinibaldo Fieschi, Pope Innocent IV, whose papacy began in 1243, used the lead coin-like object to confer political and religious favours. The medieval find, which is more than 750 years old, was a seal of Pope Innocent IV and may have links to an English monarch Experts believe the…
Bloodsucking insects, trapped in amber for millions of years, extracted for their blood-filled bellies, with the blood analyzed for ancient DNA. At first glance, the scientific explanation for the revival of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park doesn’t sound too far-fetched. It was considered a genuine possibility at the time the book was written. There’s just one problem – trapped in amber or not, DNA doesn’t like to stick around. Even in the best conditions, scientists estimate that readable DNA completely degrades in 1.5 million years, tops. The asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs occurred 65 million years ago, so there are tens of million years in the interim, which…

Widely considered as one of the best jet fighters around. First flown in December of 1988, the venerable SAAB JAS 39 “Gripen” (Griffon) might actually be one of the most capable non-stealth jet fighters ever built. Designed to replace the SAAB 35 “Viggen” and SAAB 37 “Draken”, the JAS 39 officially entered service in 1997. The aircraft was designed and built as part of a joint effort by an industrial consortium that consisted of SAAB, SAAB Microwave Systems (formerly Ericsson), Volvo Aero Corporation, SAAB Avitronics, and FFV Aerotech. The resulting aircraft was the first Swedish multirole combat aircraft – capable of conducting interception, ground-attack, and…
X-15 is a hypersonic rocket aircraft designed and built by North American for NACA (later NASA) testing. It set speed records in the 1960s that remain unbroken some 60 years later. An unbelievably ambitious project that actually paid off. A lot of valuable data was gained and implemented into future aircraft design. Image Maximum Speed Even in the late 1940s aircraft designers were dreaming of speeds that not only exceeded the speed of sound but much much faster than that. The Douglas X-3 Stiletto was one such aircraft. The Stiletto was intended to fly at twice the speed…
How will you feel if your dream is fulfilled surprisingly earlier than you thought? This happened to Hallee Fuqua. Every time she asked for a pet dog for years her parents always used to say to wait till she completes her graduation. She became a volunteer at the local Humane Society in Stillwater, Oklahoma. This happened during her thanksgiving break. There she found her dream dog, Rambo. It was a mixed breed of a Plott Hound and a Mountain Cur. Facebook/Lance Fuqua Jackie Ross-Guerrero, the shelter’s director, said. “They connected from day one. She would come in and just…
It was New Year’s Eve, 1968, and Marine Master Sgt. William H. Cox remembers it like it was yesterday. He was hidden away in a bunker in Vietnam, and he was taking fire from the enemy. Along with him was his friend, First Sgt. James L. Hollingsworth. They didn’t think they were gonna make it through that night. And sometime during the night, James leaned over to William and asked him to make a promise for him, and regardless of what happened then, he was going to keep that promise. James told William that if they survived that dreadful…

As Albuquerque police officer Ryan Holets was preparing to clear the scene of a theft at a convenience store, he noticed a couple sitting in the grass against a cement wall.

CNN International She told the officer that she was 8 months pregnant, and he told HER that she was going to kill her baby by doing what she was doing. But she told him she was addicted… had been since she was a teenager. She…
A little boy came to visit Santa at the Mayfair Mall in Wisconsin. He plopped up onto Santa’s lap holding a picture of a little girl.

But ya know…. sometimes a dogs FATHERLY instinct kicks in. Earlier this year, staff at the Mountfitchet Castle, which is a tourist attraction in Essex, were extremely worried when they discovered that a bunch of ducklings had been left all alone, and were just wondering around, not knowing what to do or where to go.

And the orphaned ducklings sure took to him. Instagram/@mountfitchetcastle Says a spokesperson for the…
