Two submarines wrecked off the coast of Malaysia during World War II have mysteriously disappeared.The pair of Dutch vessels have lain largely undisturbed for nearly 80 years – but vanished late last week.All that now remains of the submarines are broken scraps and their outlines in the sand.
An exact replica of the tomb of Tutankhamun is set to be installed near the 3,000-year-old original, in what one of the world's leading Egyptologists has called a revolutionary development in Egyptian archaeological conservation.

Archaeologists typically only find faunal remains or stone tools at Neanderthal sites. Perishable materials, comprising the vast majority of material culture items, are typically missing.
During the turbulent days of Turkey's Independence War following the Ottoman Empire defeat in World War I, an Indian Muslim who fled his country to lend a hand to the ailing Ottomans became the first journalist for the Anadolu Agency, the nascent Turkey's first news outlet and their first foreign affairs officer.
The biggest occasion in the Islamic calendar, the annual hajj pilgrimage, has become the latest global event to be jeopardised by coronavirus, with Saudi authorities suggesting travellers delay plans to visit Mecca in late July.
On December 7, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the US Naval Base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, using bombers, torpedo bombers and midget submarines. On December 8, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his “Infamy Speech” to American citizens, informing them that this occurred despite the fact that the US was in the midst of talks to keep peace with Japan. That same day, with congressional approval, America entered into World War II.
Siberia has never enjoyed a good press. We headline it as emptiness, a place of frigid exile, inhospitable both to the body and to the imagination. One of several wonderful things about this British Museum exhibition is that it gives the lie to that void. Siberia comes to life in dramatic, sometimes breathtaking ways: in fabulous gold and soft fur, in the insistent humanity of sticks of crafted furniture and clothes and food.
It is believed to be around 600-years-old, dating it back to ancient Chinese dynasties. The head of the Buddha statue was first spotted by a local villager after the water level fell significantly due to renovation work on a hydropower gate in 2017.
A University of Bern-led study shows that, starting at around 10,850 years ago, inhabitants of the Llanos de Moxos region in northern Bolivia began to create a landscape that ultimately comprised 4,700 artificial ‘forest islands’ within a treeless, seasonally flooded savannah.

The technique proved that the most significant early Neolithic pottery discovered in London is 5,500 years old. It reveals for the first time that the city’s prehistoric inhabitants led a less mobile, farming-based lifestyle than their hunter-gathering forebears.
It is perhaps best-known for its hipsters, but long before Shoreditch became avant garde, it was a place of agriculture and farmers according to evidence from a radiocarbon dating technique that has revealed details about Neolithic London.
The long-awaited opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo will be delayed further after the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, announced “major national projects” will be postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus crisis.
Huge new complex for Egypt’s antiquities—which was originally scheduled to open in 2011—will be delayed until 2021
The pyramid belongs to a series of almost identical small pyramids that have been discovered near several provincial centers in Egypt such as Elephantine, Hierakonpolis, Naqada, Abydos, Zawiet el-Meitin near Minya, and Seila in the Fayum.
Since time immemorial, Earth's poles have resembled frozen wastelands. Life can and does exist there, but there are sound reasons why humans and most other animals cling to the safety of more hospitable climates closer to the equator.
They were not always wastelands, though. We know that in our planet’s ancient past, conditions were vastly different. In the mid-Cretaceous Period, about 90 million years ago, dense concentrations of atmospheric CO2 would have created much hotter global temperatures, melting polar ice sheets, and sending sea levels soaring to up to 170 metres (558 feet) higher than they are today.
In July 2012, during the R/V Falkor’s transit from Newcastle, UK to Nuuk, Greenland, the researchers performed verification of the vessel’s scientific echo sounders. The tests included a shallow water survey off the southern coast of Greenland to assess the multibeam mapping echo sounder’s performance in complex topography.
A team of researchers aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s flagship R/V Falkor has discovered the S.S. Terra Nova, a whaler, sealer and polar exploration ship that sunk off the southern coast of Greenland in 1943 after being damaged by ice.
October 1917 and the world is teetering on its axis. Revolution is in the air. In Russia, the Bolsheviks are about to overthrow the government. In Britain, crippling food shortages and the growing list of casualties following Passchendaele, and the Somme and Verdun battles of the previous year,
October 1917 and the world is teetering on its axis. Revolution is in the air. In Russia, the Bolsheviks are about to overthrow the government. In Britain, crippling food shortages and the growing list of casualties following Passchendaele, and the Somme and Verdun battles of the previous year, are having a profound impact on public morale. People are war weary and there are fears that Britain might go the way of Russia if the socialist threat sweeps the country.
Scholars are translating an 1,800-year-old Egyptian papyrus describing what scholars call an "erotic binding spell," in which a woman named Taromeway tries to attract a man hisKephalas.
On the papyrus, a drawing shows the Egyptian jackal-headed god Anubis shooting an arrow into Kephalas, who is depicted nude. The arrow Anubis shoots is intended to inflame Kephalas’ lust for Taromeway, researchers say.
When it comes to deciphering our ancient family tree, DNA from fossils is the new gold standard. But after about half a million years, even the best-preserved DNA degrades into illegibility, leaving the story of our early evolution shrouded in mystery. A new study of proteins taken from the tooth of an enigmatic human ancestor reveals their rough place in the family tree—and shows how ancient proteins can push beyond the limits of DNA.
