Archaeologists in Egypt have opened up a mysterious ancient ‘cursed’ black granite sarcophagus. The massive coffin, which was recently excavated in the city of Alexandria, has now been opened, according to a statement released Thursday by Egypt’s Ministry of Antiquities. A layer of mortar between the lid and the body of the sarcophagus indicated that it has not been opened since it was closed more than 2,000 years ago. Three skeletons and sewage water were found inside the sarcophagus, the Ministry explained, in a Facebook post. “The initial preview of bone structures suggests that they are most likely to belong to…

Turkish and Mongolian scientists may have found the remains of a long-lost Khan palace in eastern Turkey that they believe was built by Genghis Khan’s grandson, Hulagu Khan. Hulagu Khan was the ruler of the short-lived Ilkhanid state in the 1260s AD. A report in Live Science stated that archaeologists working at the Van Province excavation site near Çaldıran probably found the historically documented Khan palace, which was constructed between 1260-1265. The Turkish Hulagu Khan Palace and the Ilkhanate State Hulagu Khan (reigned 1256-1265) is notoriously associated with the brutal sacking of Baghdad in 1258, which destroyed much of the city and its rich…

Loki’s lies, Odin’s staff and Thor’s hammer (Mjölnir) are well known archetypes of Norse mythology. But now, archaeologists in Sweden have unearthed a real Viking Age Hammer of Thor.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s brand new trailer reveals plenty of intriguing plot points about the upcoming Phase 5 film, including a long-rumored secondary villain who seems to be supporting Kang the Conqueror. The Marvel Comics supervillain MODOK is officially joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Quantumania. Yet, it appears that the live-action version will take a major departure from the source material, with a surprisingly familiar face portraying the role. This revelation naturally begs a litany of questions about the MCU’s version of MODOK, including how he came to be and whether he truly supports Kang’s conquest throughout the Multiverse. Quantumania is…

Paul Rudd’s arc as Marvel’s tiniest Avenger aka Ant-Man has been rumored more than once to be coming to an untimely end with the latest upcoming Marvel installment, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. With Kang the Conqueror being introduced in the film, kicking off Phase Five with a major death seems like a step too far. But not only is Ant-Man 3 being positioned as too good of a narrative, but the threat of impending doom is already hard-hitting as it is without having to weigh the MCU audience with the added tragedy of a beloved superhero’s death. The teasers and trailers and subsequent breakdowns…

For those wondering if and when Black Panther 3 will be happening, Letitia Wright gave an update on the matter. This is far from the first time fans have wondered if a third movie was going to happen. Wakanda Forever’s producer, Nate Moore, previously shared how they’ve “floated around” ideas for a third film. However, its existence depends on “how audiences receive” the second—which, from the looks of it now, was pretty well. As for if director Ryan Coogler would come back to direct another installment, the director slyly remarked that “as long as folks will have [him],” he’d do more Wakanda-Focused projects. Now it’s the Black Panther herself’s time to tease the…

While Moon Knight Season 2 is still unconfirmed for Disney+, rumor has it that the series will return before one of the next two Avengers movies in Phase 6 of the MCU.

Star Oscar Isaac even denied the rumor that Season 2 of Moon Knight was in development in a recent interview on the topic, even though he’s had “some specific conversations” about where he wants Marc Spector to go in future seasons. Although its stars and crew have denied that Season 2 is in the…

After having been previously teased, another Marvel Studios executive brought up their own take on a Black Superman-like character in the MCU. VP of Production & Development at Marvel Studios Nate Moore seemingly wants to bring Blue Marvel to Marvel Studios’ super-powered franchise, a character that has been brought up in the past. Back during WandaVision’s run, Teyonah Parris brought up wanting to bring the hero to the MCU as a love interest for her Monica Rambeau. In a video interview, Parris noted that she is aware of Monica’s “love interest with Blue Marvel,” calling the prospect of the pair meeting on-screen “pretty spicy.” Now, Blue Marvel has…

“The curse of the pharaohs” is a myth associated with the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. The archaeologists who discovered the tomb were exposed to strange and suspicious incidents, some of which resulted in their deaths. Some people consider that these deaths were the result of the curse that was unleashed when they opened the tomb and disturbed the pharaoh king in his grave. Almost a hundred years after Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922, Russia Today quoted a report by the British Daily Mail that revealed facts about the death of Earl of Carnarvon, who funded…
