It’s a new testament to modern technology. 

Archeologists in Israel discovered a biblically significant moat that divided Jerusalem into two parts hidden beneath a parking lot in the City of David. 

The manmade trench — researchers have sought answers on its existence for 150 years — was “one of the monumental fortifications that protected the kings of Jerusalem,” according to the Israel Antiquities Authority, the agency in charge of the dig at the Givati Parking lot.

It is a 3,500-square-foot site that, until about 15 years ago, was used for cars and visitors seeing the Western or “Wailing Wall” of Jerusalem....

	GENIUS IN A BOTTLE. French artist Abraham Poincheval (b. 1972), who is known for locking himself up in unexpected structures—an armor, a stuffed bear, a rock—has decided to repeat the experience inside a giant bottle, moored to the dock of the Saint-Denis canal, in Paris. Some find the idea genius; others ludicrous, reports Beaux Arts. How long will the intrepid artist stay on the River Seine? Ten whole days, for the entire duration of the Olympic Games!...

What do you think of when you think about ancient Egyptian mummies? Perhaps your mind takes you back to a school trip to the museum, when you came face to face with a mummified person inside a glass case. Or maybe you think of mummies as depicted by Hollywood, the emerging zombie-like from their sandy tombs with dirtied bandages billowing in the breeze.

MERCURY might be hiding a miles-thick hoard of solid diamonds beneath its surface. Our solar system's innermost planet has puzzled scientists for decades. It has a weak magnetic field, just 1% the strength of Earth's. It has a massive core in relation to its puny size. And despite being the smallest planet in the solar system, it is the second densest.

Tracing their ancestral home to the picture-perfect Channel Islands, the Chumash likely descend from some of the Americas' earliest settlers. When I was in elementary school, my class read a book called Island of the Blue Dolphins about a young Indigenous girl who was stranded on an island off the coast of California. The novel is based on the true story of the "Lone Woman of San Nicolas", who supposedly lived alone on San Nicolas Island for 18 years during the mid-19th Century, after the rest of her native American tribe was relocated to the mainland by missionaries.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
