A significant genetic discovery has challenged long-standing beliefs about the history of leprosy in the Americas. A team of researchers successfully reconstructed the ancient genomes of *Mycobacterium lepromatosis*, a rare bacterium responsible for Hansen’s Disease, from human remains that are approximately 4,000 years old in Chile. This finding indicates that this debilitating illness existed in […]
Recent advances in genetic research have reshaped our understanding of leprosy’s history in the Americas. Scientists successfully reconstructed ancient genomes of Mycobacterium lepromatosis, paving the way for new insights into the disease’s origins. In a separate archaeological breakthrough, a team in South Moravia, Czechia, has uncovered an 1,800-year-old bronze fragment of a Roman wrist purse. […]
A recently unveiled collection of ancient Egyptian stone vessels has sparked intense discussion among archaeologists, engineers, and alternative historians. This private collection, amassed by Florida businessman Matt Beall over three years, features 85 vases crafted from materials such as granite, quartz, and limestone, some dating back over 6,000 years. The craftsmanship exhibited by these artifacts […]
In the late 1980s, archaeologists made a significant discovery in Margaux Cave, located in Belgium’s Meuse Valley. They uncovered the remains of at least nine women from the Mesolithic period, shedding light on the lives of these ancient peoples. Standing before ancient monuments evokes a profound sense of wonder. Structures like Egypt’s pyramids or those […]
In the arid expanse of Egypt’s eastern Nile Delta, archaeologists have unearthed the remnants of Imet, a city centered around the cobra goddess, Wadjet. This significant discovery was made under a mound at Tell el-Fara’in, translating to “Mound of the Pharaohs.” Once a pivotal hub during Egypt’s Late Period, Imet has recently resurfaced from centuries […]
In the sun-baked floodplain of Egypt’s eastern Nile Delta, archaeologists have uncovered a city that once thrived under the protective gaze of the cobra goddess, Wadjet. This remarkable discovery sheds light on the sophisticated urban planning and cultural practices of ancient Egyptian civilization. At the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük, recent findings of strong maternal genetic […]
A new study has shed light on the enigmatic Neolithic megalith structures at Carnac in Brittany, providing insights into their purpose and chronology. For centuries, the stone arrangements have intrigued historians, often compared to landmarks like Stonehenge. However, recent excavations at Le Plasker, a previously unexplored section of the Carnac complex, have revealed important archaeological […]
The archaeological site of Çatalhöyük, considered the world’s first proto-city, offers intriguing insights into human social structures nearly 10,000 years ago. Recent discoveries suggest that this ancient settlement may have functioned as a matriarchy, driven by strong maternal lines as revealed through DNA analyses. Findings indicate that women remained in their birth homes while men […]
Recent discoveries from ancient DNA samples at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük reveal strong maternal lineages and highlight female-centered practices within the community. This evidence suggests a complex socio-cultural structure that is gaining attention among researchers exploring early human societies. Meanwhile, Brittany’s Carnac stone arrangement serves as a key site for understanding European prehistory. It […]
