An extremely rare discovery has just been made in the ancient Egyptian necropolis of Tel el-Deir in Damietta.

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on February 10, 2022. It has since been updated. Faced with the reality of being slaves in a foreign land, Igbo people chose death as they walked into the ocean and drowned while still chained to each other. It was one of the first documented acts of rebellion from the people of Africa against white slave traders. It was the year 1803 and 75 West Africans, with a majority of them being Igbo, were sold for $100 each to John Couper and Thomas Spalding. Originating from Nigeria, the Igbo people were renowned for their industriousness, independence, and pride in their work. John Couper and Thomas Spalding "bought" the Igbo people with the intention of taking them to work on plantations in St. Simons Island, Georgia, in the U.S. They were packed onto a slave ship but as the ship neared Georgia, Igbo people rebelled and took over the ship, killing the captain and some of the crew. The ship ran aground in Dunbar Creek, off St. Simons Island, according to Mother Jones.

We can confidently say that the computer is a modern-day invention. However, certain findings may prove that is unlikely. A 2000-year-old hunk of metal with gears on it was found near the island of Antikythera in Greece 120 years ago and left people questioning everything we know about computers. The piece of metal was anything but ordinary. It is now believed to be the oldest known computer on the planet and was found among various other things in a shipwreck near the island, per BBC.

The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

During the events of QuakeCon 2024, Hugo Martin and Marty Stratton took the stage to talk about all sorts of new stuff in the Doom franchise. That inevitably included new info on Doom: The Dark Ages, but it wasn’t something you’ll see on the internet anytime soon. Much like when the deep dive for Doom 2016 was shown at QuakeCon, the Doom leads asked the community to put down their phones and simply take in the brutal mayhem of what’s coming. And while I can’t show you what I saw, I can tell you that it was ridiculously cool and continues to build the hype for what we’re getting when Dark Ages comes out in 2025.
