Prehistoric settlements in remote Siberia, Russia have revealed that the hunter-gatherers who lived there 8,000 years ago constructed complex defensive structures. They are the oldest fortresses in the world.

The cave forecourt was excavated as part of the Judean Kings’ Trail Project, led by the Israel Antiquities Authority, the Ministry for Jerusalem and Heritage, and the Jewish National Fund.

For most of the period of human occupation of Sahul (the combined Pleistocene landmass of Australia and New Guinea), lower sea levels exposed an extensive area of the northwest of the Australian continent, connecting the Kimberley and Arnhem Land into one vast area.

Roughly 4,000 years ago, where the Romanian Plains border the Carpathian Mountains, mourners tucked a 30-something man into a tomb. Adorned with red pigment and faced toward the west, his body was buried in the typical fashion of the Yamnaya: within a sprawling mound of dirt.

In 2021, scientists were left baffled after a beam of cosmic energy so powerful that it carried the equivalent of hundreds of billions of volts of electricity hit Earth. And more than two years later, they still have no idea where it came from. 

Entropy is one of those fearsomely deep concepts that form the core of entire fields of physics (in this case, thermodynamics) that is unfortunately so mathematical that it’s difficult to explain in plain language. But we will give it a try.

Over the past several years, some materials have proved to be a playground for physicists. These materials aren’t made of anything special — just normal particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons. But they are more than the sum of their parts.

It’s truly a marvel how quickly our understanding of the Universe advanced during the 20th century.

After a 5-year wait from the time the original, critical data was taken, humanity has finally feasted our eyes upon not one, but two black hole direct images. What both of them have revealed is a photon “ring” surrounding an event horizon.

In a new study, an international team of researchers has determined the genetic origins of Asia’s most enigmatic mummies - the Tarim Basin mummies in western China.

Archaeologists have discovered a pyramid structure in the steppes of Central Asia that is thought to be more than 3,000 years old. The monument, known as the pyramid of Karazhartas, was uncovered during excavations conducted along the Taldy River in the Karaganda region of central Kazakhstan.

Although bullshit is common in everyday life and has attracted attention from philosophers, its reception (critical or ingenuous) has not, to our knowledge, been subject to empirical investigation.
