Extraordinary underwater structure discovered off the coast of Italy

Long lost treasures lurk beneath the seas and other waters. Ancient canoes have been discovered, as have historic crusader swords. Recently, archeologists have been exploring the beautiful waters of the Adriatic Sea. Sandwhiched between Italy and the Balkans, this sea was a hub of ancient seafaring activity. In an exciting development, as announced by the University of Zadar on Facebook, archeologists uncovered an ancient road built about 7,000 years ago. Now submerged underwater, the road lends insight into the ancient Hvar people who lived in the region in the late Neolithic period.

Researchers Discover 7,000-Year-Old Underwater Road

MICHOACÁN, MEXICO—Mexico News Daily reports that a cleanup project in western Mexico’s drought-stricken Lake Pátzcuaro recovered a traditional canoe of the Purépecha people, known as a tepari. The vessel, which was stuck in hardened mud, measures nearly 50 feet long and was loaded with firewood. Scientists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) think that paddlers may have traveled to the mountains of Erongaricuaro to pick up their cargo and were returning to Janitzio, an island in the lake, when the canoe sank. Additional analysis is needed before the researchers can determine the age of the canoe. Well-preserved human bones, mostly femurs carved with grooves, have also been recovered, along with ceramic urns and objects made of stone that are thought to have been thrown into the lake as offerings at some point before the arrival of Europeans in the sixteenth century.

This week we take a deep dive into the national institution that is France's postal service. The French are very attached to "La Poste", though they love to complain about it too, and its evolution mirrors changes in society. Come rain or shine, postal workers in their trademark daffodil-yellow vehicles have delivered mail 24/7, making them some of France’s favourite people, just after their bakers. But like in other countries, with the development of other forms of communication such as email and text messaging, fewer and fewer people are sending letters. So how is La Poste adapting to these tectonic shifts? FRANCE 24's Florence Villeminot has been finding out.
