	BAD PROJECTION. The “C-Project” sounds like a shady plan hatched by shady people in a budget sci-fi film. In reality, it’s not far off. Thirty years ago, Guy Barron and his wife Nora – two of America’s leading art collectors – invited 20 of the era’s biggest artists down to Miami. As part of C-Project, the couple wined and dined the creative cohort, which included John Baldessari, Louise Bourgeois, Chuck Close, RoyLichtenstein, Dorothea Rockburne, Ed Ruscha, and James Turrell,...

There are many reasons an ancient statue might accidentally lose its head — and some for its head to be severed on purpose.

Why are so many Roman statues headless?

History never ceases to amaze us and there is much out there that is still unknown. There were several generations that lived before us and many are yet to come into existence. So, when archaeologists and other experts discover something new about the old, it’s always a fascinating journey of understanding what really went down there. In 2000, French archaeologist and head of the European Institute of Maritime Archaeology, Franck Goddio, led a team that successfully located the ancient city of Thonis-Heracleion, which was Egypt’s only port on the Mediterranean coast about 2,500 years ago.

Whatever we learned in school about the earliest human civilizations, the discovery of Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey has made it all null and void. This sprawling, monolithic complex, of which over 90% remains unexcavated, dates back over 10,000 years—a date which is ascertained by the evidence of the entire complex being deliberately buried by whoever built it.

A 4-year-old boy visiting a museum in Israel accidentally smashed a 3,500-year-old jar. The boy’s father, Alex, told the BBC his son “pulled the jar slightly” because he was “curious about what was inside,” causing it to topple and break. The Bronze Age crockery—which was dated to between 2200 and 1500 B.C.—was notable because of its excellent condition, with similar artifacts typically found broken or incomplete, the Hecht Museum in Haifa told the British broadcaster. It also defended its decision to display the jar close to the museum’s entrance without precautions that might have prevented the accident because “whenever possible, items are displayed without barriers or glass walls.” An official with the museum said a conservation specialist has been given the task of restoring the item, which will be returned to display “in a short time.” Alex said he was “relieved” it will be restored but was nevertheless “sorry” that “it will no longer be the same item.”Read it at BBCRead more at The Daily Beast.

Nita Flores’ journey began in Haiti and led her to a fulfilling life in the United States. At the age of 20 she immigrated to the U.S and quickly learned English and adapted to American culture. Just two years later she joined the United States Navy as an Airman Recruit and climbed the ranks, retiring after 23 years of honorable service. Alongside her military career, Nita advanced her education, earning a bachelor’s in nursing and later a master’s degree while raising two daughters as a single mother. Today, she serves as a professor at a local nursing school.

Archaeologists have made a groundbreaking discovery at the ancient site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. They have uncovered what is believed to be the world's oldest calendar. Etched into a 12,000-year-old stone pillar, this finding could significantly alter our understanding of early civilization and the history of timekeeping.

Discovery of Ancient Calendar at Göbekli Tepe May Rewrite History of Early Civilizations

Ariel Geller's family was invited for a guided tour of Haifa's Hecht Museum in Israel, a few days after the four-year-old smashed a rare, 3,500-year-old jar in the museum. The museum told the BBC the crockery dated back to the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1500BC - and was a rare artefact because it was so intact.

Markings on a stone pillar found at the 12,000-year-old archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey have been newly decoded by researchers, who believe they may document a tremendous comet strike that led to a major shift in human civilization. The site, a temple-like complex some seven thousand years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza, contains intricate carvings that archaeologists think may collectively form the world’s oldest calendar, as well as those that record the Taurid meteor stream that gave rise to a twenty-seven-day-long rain of comet fragments that plunged the Earth into a roughly 1,200-year-long ice age in 10850 BCE. The comet strike is believed to have wiped out many species of large animals, and to have spurred the lifestyle change from hunting and gathering to farming that led to the birth of civilization in the Fertile Crescent of West Asia.
