A team of Polish divers found a 19th century shipwreck in the Baltic sea packed with some precious cargo, including over 100 bottles of unopened Champagne. The discovery occurred during the Baltictech diving team’s recent trip to Sweden. The wreck appeared on the sonar detector about 20 nautical miles south of the island of Öland and seemed to be a fishing boat — a relatively unexciting find — but the team decided to check it out anyway.

DAMIETTA, EGYPT—According to a Live Science report, archaeologists have recovered pottery, shabti figurines, bronze coins, and gold foil figures from more than 60 burials in Damietta, a city located in northern Egypt on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Some of the graves have been dated to the 26th Dynasty (688–525 B.C.) and the Ptolemaic period (304–30 B.C.). Thirty-eight bronze coins from the Ptolemaic period were found in one pottery vessel. Many of these coins bear an image of Zeus Ammon, a combination of the Greek god Zeus and the Egyptian god Ammon, or Amun. One of the coins was engraved with an eagle and a cornucopia. Some of the gold-foil figures appear to depict “ba-birds,” human-headed creatures with wings that could gather food for the deceased. Other gold-foil figures represent the “eye of Horus,” which provided the protection of the falcon-headed god.

As if the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE was not enough, a series of violent earthquakes also played a role in destroying the city of Pompeii and killing many of its residents. Scientists are now beginning to understand how these two natural hazards affected one enough. A new study from the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV) and Pompeii Archaeological Park found that these earthquakes may have made the eruption more deadly.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
