For centuries, the story of Jesus walking on water has sparked awe and disbelief in equal measure. Now, researchers digging into ancient clues, weather records, and geology think something remarkable may actually back it up.
Ty Cobb was admired and feared as one of baseball's greatest players but his reputation was damaged by the outrageous allegations of his biographer.
Archaeologists working at Tuna el-Gebel in Minya, Egypt, uncovered an extensive catacomb containing millions of mummified ibises. The site, part of an ancient necropolis, dates primarily to the Late Period and Ptolemaic era (roughly 664–250 BC). Researchers identified long underground galleries filled with earthen jars and limestone coffins that once held birds offered to the god Thoth (National Geographic, 2019). The necropolis is considered one of the largest animal burial sites ever discovered. Excavations revealed over six miles of tunnels stacked with mummified remains. This massive collection indicates a sustained ritual practice lasting several centuries rather than a single event or isolated custom.
In the middle of Saudi Arabia’s black volcanic fields, archaeologists found something extraordinary—hundreds of mysterious stone formations stretching for miles. The locals once called this region the “Gates of Hell,” but what they uncovered might rewrite early human history.
Every mammal shares certain traits, except this one. It sits quietly on every human face, yet no other creature on Earth has it. And the strangest part? Science still doesn’t know why it exists.
Ancient stories from across the world tell of skies on fire and oceans rising. For centuries, scholars dismissed them as allegory. But modern archaeology and geology are uncovering startling clues suggesting those “myths” may describe an actual event about 12,900 years ago.
Nothing sticks to the old script anymore. Forests bloom out of rhythm, animals behave differently, and even familiar scenery seems to play new roles every year.
There’s something oddly satisfying about cracking your knuckles. That quick pop can feel like releasing pressure after a long day, but somewhere along the line, it got a bad reputation. You’ve probably heard (or will at some point hear) someone warn, “Stop that or you’ll get arthritis”.
If you’ve ever wondered how the pharaohs of ancient Egypt held back invasions and protected their land, here’s a tale that delivers. Near the dusty flank of the eastern Nile Delta, a Polish-Slovak team at Tell el‑Retaba revealed a massive fortress built under Ramesses II—and it speaks volumes about how Egypt guarded the entrance to the Sinai.
