For almost 2,000 years, a once-bustling city in the desert of Saudi Arabia was left abandoned to the sands of time.Hegra, a thriving international trade hub in the first century AD, fell into a steady decline after it was annexed by the Roman empire in 106 AD.Then, in the centuries that followed, it was all but forgotten: occasionally mentioned by pilgrims on their way to Mecca, but left largely untouched.Yet languishing in the burning sun for nearly two millennia left the extraordinary site remarkably well-preserved.And now it has finally opened up to both tourists and experts who are hailing it...

Breathtaking ancient city discovered in the desert reveals secrets of a forgotten civilisation

Ancient tombs reveal much about the lives of the people who once lived, but now lie entombed. Fascinating discoveries have been unearthed in tombs, including ancient liquid wine and jars of provisions buried to supply the deceased in their journey. In addition to burial goods, the human remains also tell a story—for example, two Neanderthal skeletons found embracing suggest affections long past. The Tomb of Cerberus—discovered in 2023 in Naples, Italy—has yielded discoveries of both goods and human remains. The latter were recently exposed when a coffin was opened after 2,000 years.

It’s a bone-chilling discovery.

Archeologists at Pompeii have recovered well-preserved skeletal remains of a man and woman who died clutching treasures of the time. 

The woman was found on a bed surrounded by gold, silver and bronze coins, along with jewelry that included pearl and gold earrings, and the man was not far from her.



Archeological Park Director Gabriel Zuchtriegel called the recent finding in the ancient city lost to a volcanic eruption in Mount Vesivius’s Region IX — where several rare treasures were recently found — “invaluable.”

Archaeologists in Spain have discovered a possible hidden Roman Empire from over 2,000 years ago.

A team of researchers from the University of Cádiz started exploring an area of the Sierra de Cádiz region last year hoping to just find a few remnants of ancient life there.

Instead, they were stunned to come across 57 Roman Empire-era sites — which they believe could all be connected, based on trade and communication routes, according to the Independent.

Twenty years ago on an Indonesian island, scientists discovered fossils of an early human species that stood at about 3 1/2 feet tall, earning them the nickname "hobbits."Now a new study suggests ancestors of the hobbits were even slightly shorter."We did not expect that we would find smaller individuals from such an old site," said Yousuke Kaifu, co-author of the study, which was published on Tuesday in the journal Nature. The original hobbit fossils date back to between 60,000 and 100,000 years ago. The new fossils were excavated at a site called Mata Menge, about 45 miles from the cave where...

 Remarkable new scientific research at Stonehenge has revealed an extraordinary new mystery. Mineralogical tests on the massive six-tonne stone at the heart of the monument show that this central rock, known as the altar stone, was brought to Stonehenge from the far north of Scotland.The altar stone is arguably the most ritually important stone in Stonehenge, because it is the rock that marks the intersection of the prehistoric temple’s two most important celestial alignments – the winter solstice sunrise to summer solstice sunset alignment, and the summer solstice sunrise to winter solstice sunset alignment. It’s already known that some...

Tracing their ancestral home to the picture-perfect Channel Islands, the Chumash likely descend from some of the Americas' earliest settlers. W — When I was in elementary school, my class read a book calledIsland of the Blue Dolphins about a young Indigenous girl who was stranded on an island off the coast of California. The novel is based on the true story of the "Lone Woman of San Nicolas", who supposedly lived alone on San Nicolas Island for 18 years during the mid-19th Century, after the rest of her native American tribe was relocated to the mainland by missionaries.

During the solstices, thousands gather at Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain in England to celebrate the monument’s astronomical alignment. The focal point of these festivities is the Altar Stone – the six-tonne sandstone slab that lies flat at the centre of Stonehenge. 

The ancient society that built this monument, from 3,100 to 1,600 BCE, left no written record. But Stonehenge’s building blocks themselves can help us understand it better. These blocks, or megaliths, are divided into two major categories: sarsen stones and bluestones. The Altar Stone is the largest bluestone.

Some bluestones were likely quarried from the Mynydd Preseli in Wales,...
