We can confidently say that the computer is a modern-day invention. However, certain findings may prove that is unlikely. A 2000-year-old hunk of metal with gears on it was found near the island of Antikythera in Greece 120 years ago and left people questioning everything we know about computers. The piece of metal was anything but ordinary. It is now believed to be the oldest known computer on the planet and was found among various other things in a shipwreck near the island, per BBC.

One of the many archaeological mysteries at Britain’s Stonehenge has been solved. The site’s six-ton Altar Stone hails from over 400 miles north in Scotland, not from Wales or other closer areas of southern England as scientists previously thought. This trek points to the possibility that more advanced transportation methods and societal organization existed here about 5,000 years ago. The findings are described in a study published August 14 in the journal Nature.

To say that Firewalk Studios had an uphill battle to fight with Concord would be an understatement. Its characters already came across as trying too hard to emulate the MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Then it was revealed to be a 5v5 competitive shooter with unique heroes and a live service model.

Who is Anubis? Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god, is often depicted with a jackal's head and a human body. He played a crucial role in Egyptian mythology, especially in the afterlife. Anubis was the protector of graves and the guide of souls to the afterlife. His duties included overseeing the mummification process and weighing the hearts of the deceased against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth. This determined whether a soul was worthy of entering the afterlife. Anubis's significance in Egyptian culture cannot be overstated, as he ensured the dead received proper rites and a fair judgment.
