Season one of House of the Dragon was very much about the contentious relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra—and also the men who manipulated them to gain power in Westeros. Misogyny is still alive and well in season two; it’s something both women repeatedly encounter despite their positions of power. But in the background, a trio of female characters have begun to demonstrate other ways to make a difference.

Archaeologists conducting excavations at the site of a church have unearthed a marble shrine containing a relic that they believe may be tied to Moses receiving the Ten Commandments.

The shrine contained a 1,500-year-old ivory box adorned with Christian motifs, according to an Innsbruck University press release.

The item was discovered by archaeologists from Innsbruck University in southern Austria under an altar inside a chapel at the summit of Burgbichl, a small hill, in the municipality of Irschen.  

Since 2016, archaeologists from the University of Innsbruck have been carrying out excavations in Irschen, which is a part of the Carinthian Drava Valley.

Few of us reach middle age without experiencing the loss of a loved one, whether it's a parent, sibling, dear friend, or even a child. Death is a part of life, but for many, the question of what lies beyond this earthly existence remains a profound mystery. Since the beginning of time, humans have pondered whether there is an afterlife, and where those loved ones who have left us go.

The Afterlife Mystery: Communicating with the Dead

“Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not,” George Lucas once said in a 2005 interview with Wired, heralding the end of the Star Wars prequel trilogy—seemingly at the time, with Star Wars at all—in Revenge of the Sith. The movie gave us the fall of the Republic, the fall of the Jedi Order: the twilight of a golden age wrought by a series of choices, personal and systemic, that saw grasps on power slip and and tighten on all sides of its conflict until even its ultimate survivors were left forever scarred in some form or another.

A windstorm that blew through England last year was so powerful it actually managed to lower the boiling point of water. Storm Ciaran hit the United Kingdom in early November and, along with winds that gusted up to 70 mph, it brought heavy rainfall, resulting in severe flooding in parts of southern England. But there was a secondary, more subtle effect. Ciaran’s passage through the country resulted in a record low pressure, according to a new study published in the journal Royal Meteorological Society.
