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...

This article initially appeared in My Jewish Learning’s Shabbat newsletter Recharge. To receive Recharge each week in your inbox, click here. For many years, I’ve written on Jewish texts and spiritual practice. Creating a dialogue between ancient sources and contemporary life has been deeply important to me. But during the pandemic, I found myself writing a fantasy novel. I was poking around looking at old files on my computer and came to a piece of a story — just a beginning, really — that I liked. The story had four women as its main characters: a warrior librarian, a mystic who could speak to trees and books, an apothecary and a former concubine with magical skills, all living in an enchanted and dangerous archipelago.

I’m a rabbi who wrote a fantasy novel. I couldn’t have done it without inspiration from our sacred past.

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...

I don’t always read front matter, but with Ben Terry’s Near Where the Blood Pools: A Novel in Verse, I’m glad I did. There’s a character list organized around Cephas, older brother to Hope, a young girl who disappears. The cast includes Memphis, a Seer; Church ladies; and a can of ashes. I was intrigued.

Book Review :: Near Where the Blood Pools by Ben Terry

Medieval castles stand as grand monuments to a bygone era, steeped in history and myth. They conjure images of knights in shining armor, lavish banquets, and damsels in distress. Yet, behind these stone walls lay a world that was often bizarre, harsh, and far more fascinating than the fairy tales suggest. From ingenious defensive designs to surprising sanitation methods, life in a medieval castle was a curious mix of the marvelous and the mundane. Let’s delve into the eccentricities and everyday realities of castle living, revealing what it was truly like to call one of these stone fortresses home.

Bizarre Facts About Medieval Castles, And What Living There Really Was Like
