Columbus, OH

A set of outdoor sculptures by Romanian artist Constantin Brâncusi is among twenty-four sites added by Unesco to its World Heritage list. The works, dating to 1937–38, pay tribute to the country’s soldiers killed in World War I and occupy a roughly mile-long axis of the Avenue of Heroes in the southwestern Romanian town of Targu Jiu, near the sculptor’s birthplace of Hobita. Among the newly protected Brâncusi works is the iconic Endless Column, seventeen brass-clad cast-iron rhomboids stacked in a roughly hundred-foot-high pillar. Also included are the artist’s Table of Silence, a limestone table surrounded by a dozen stools, or backless chairs, of the same material, and Gate of the Kiss, a marble gate bearing a kiss motif.

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.
