Researchers uncover 'mystery' conduits close to artifacts from biblical Jerusalem
Given the lack of comparable biblical artifacts or clear connections to an ancient Jewish temple and palace that formerly stood nearby, a nearly three millennia-old network of hewn-rock ducts discovered in Jerusalem has perplexed archaeologists.
Remnants of an ancient channel network of hewn-rock ducts which the Israel Antiquities Authority says were in use around 2,800 years ago have baffled archaeologists who cannot ascertain their purpose given the lack of comparable biblical finds or obvious links to an ancient Jewish temple and palace that once stood nearby, in Jerusalem, August 30, 2023
The 2,800-year-old channels, which are knee-deep, are outside Jerusalem's fortified Old City. They were found in two clusters, each 10 meters (30 feet) apart.
The Israel Antiquities Authority reported that forensic examination of the canals revealed no evidence of blood, ruling out any involvement in the murder of animals for banquets or religious sacrifice.
According to the authority, whose study partner is Tel Aviv University, the ducts also do not appear to have engineered a flow in a single direction or debouched into any basin, indicating they were not used to sluice out sewage or rainfall.
Archaeologist Yiftah Shalev described the discovery as a "mystery" and stated, "We looked at the installation and realized that we had stumbled on something unique."
A item "connected to the economy of the temple or palace" may have been prepared via the conduits, according to archaeologist Yuval Gadot.
"The flax must be softened by soaking it for a lengthy time when making linen, for instance. Another hypothesis, according to Gadot, is that the conduits contained dates that were left out in the sun to generate silan (date honey).
The discovery, which is a part of Israel's City of David National Park, will be displayed to the public the following week, according to the announcement.
Serbian archaeologists look at a river ship found at the ancient Roman city of Viminacium
At the site of the Roman camp known as Viminacium, the capital of the ancient province of Moesia Superior, archaeologists in Serbia are investigating the remnants of what they claim to be a 13-meter-long river ship.
At the location of the historic Roman camp and city, which is located 144 kilometers (90 miles) southeast of the Serbian capital Belgrade, coal miners have already discovered ancient relics of past life.
Archaeologist at the camp Ilija Dankovic said, “Here it is very difficult to find organic material, especially when it is not in water, but we were lucky enough to find preserved vessels in the field, at a depth of seven meters”
"It was not found in its entirety, it was damaged a lot, but the wood is good, the wood is in good condition. It looks really great," commented Dragana Gavrilovic, a colleague of his.
Experts who have been investigating the area for years have now moved the ship's scraps to the archaeological camp, where more investigation is being conducted.
"We moved it and buried it in sand so that the wood would not dry out," said Gavrilovic, "because wood is one of the most delicate materials, and if it dries out it will fall apart, so in this way we actually preserve the wood."
It is currently unknown exactly what time period the ship is from. As evidenced by the discovery of similar vessels three years prior, shipbuilding methods in the area have not evolved significantly over the years.
Because of this, researchers believe the ship may be from the past century or perhaps the time of the Romans.
Ilija Dankovic stated, “The samples were sent last week to the laboratory in Hungary, and in a few months' time we expect to receive the results and then there will be no more doubts.”
The team needs more time and money to study the ship in depth.
Visitors won't be able to see it until a museum is constructed to house all the ships and boats that have been discovered along this section of the River Danube, according to the archaeologists, who claim they will request for money from Serbia's Ministry of Culture.
Tridents and war paint materials were discovered in an 8,000-year-old encampment in England
Archaeologists discovered an old site where hunter-gatherers previously ate, danced, and performed rituals while excavating a floodplain in England.
An ancient settlement, dating back to around 6,000 B.C., was uncovered in England, an archaeologist said. Over 300,000 artifacts, including arrowheads and tridents, were discovered. Photo from Oxford Archaeology Ltd
The site, which dates to 6,000 B.C., served as a Mesolithic hotspot, attracting sizable crowds from remote areas of northern Britain on a periodic basis.
According to Fraser Brown, an archaeologist who participated in the excavation, "It's not a very typical site." We were aware that we had a unique situation.
It was discovered by accident. In order to build a road across a restricted area of land close to Carlisle, Oxford Archaeology archaeologists started uncovering troves of ancient artifacts.
Over 300,000 items, including flint arrowheads and wooden tridents, were discovered after months of sieving a muddy region the size of a football field by a crew of more than 50 individuals.
One of the largest lithic assemblages ever discovered in Britain, according to Brown.

On the basis of the discoveries, archaeologists hypothesized that the region, which was formerly an island on the Eden River, was inhabited by hunter-gatherers in the spring or winter. Large groups of prehistoric humans journeyed to the island from a distance of more than 100 miles, perhaps to fish the river when food was in short supply.
It's conceivable that more than 100 early Britons at a time sought sanctuary on the island at a time when people often lived in tiny family groupings.
You can utilize anthropological analogies to picture all the various activities that would be taking place in the background, such as feasting, chit-chatting, and storytelling, according to Brown.
Additionally, hundreds of bits of clay called ochre were found. It would have been processed into a crimson pigment that was used for both ceremonial and practical uses.
Ochre "was probably not for everyday use," according to Brown. "People probably painted themselves for hunting rituals, dance, or burial rights."

Hunter-gatherers utilized the substance to create dye, insecticide, sunblock, adhesive, and even medicine, according to Andrew Needham, a specialist in early prehistory at the University of York.
In most cases, it was combined with animal fat to create body paint. According to Needham, it was typically scattered onto open graves at funerals.
“When people look at the Mesolithic and prehistoric people they can be quite two-dimensional, imagining them as widgets wandering the landscape looking for food,” Brown said.
Brown responded, "But of course they're just people like you and I, and they're going to have very rich social and cultural lives, and perhaps even more so in terms of their imaginations, stories, and myths because they don't have much materiality."
Around 3,800 B.C., Neolithic farmers began to exploit the island, showing that hunter-gatherers hadn't been the only ones who had found it appealing, according to Brown.
Even the Romans opted to establish themselves in the region thousands of years later. Just a few miles away, they built Hadrian's Wall, which served as their vast empire's northern border.
Ancient Atlantean Art Found At Chichen Itza's Mayan Archaeological Site
On the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, workers constructing a road that would lead to a new section of Chichén Itzá made the discovery of an ancient Atlantean sculpture with uplifted arms.
The most popular archeological site in Mexico is Chichen Itza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Chichen Itza, renowned for its amazing buildings like the Kukulkan Pyramid, the Temple of the Warriors, and the Ball Court, presents a special chance to go back in time and learn about the history of the pre-Maya.
Discoveries made by archaeologists at Chichen Itza continue to expand our understanding of the prehistoric Maya civilisation.
Scientists from the INAH (Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia) recently reported the discovery of a 90 cm tall ancient Atlantean sculpture at a news briefing.

A number of evidence points to a significant common foundation between the Mayan cultures of central and northwestern central Mexico at roughly the same dates, between AD 800 and 1200, even later, and those at Chichén Itzá in the Terminal Classic and Early Postclassic periods. The newly discovered sculpture, in association with a housing complex, is one more example of this.
The find resembles sculptures of the Atlantean variety, according to Diego Prieto Hernández, general director of the INAH. The male character wears a headband, a pectoral composed of four rows of jade beads, long earmuffs, and bracelets, and is seen with his arms raised and clutching something. Additionally, Hernández recommended paying attention to "the features of his face, which link him, stylistically, to Huastec evocations."
According to Prieto Hernández, these sculptures were a part of the altars containing stone blocks that were cut in the shape of a table because of their size (90 centimeters high and 45 centimeters broad), which were components found in ceremonial buildings.
In the Yucatan Temple of the Warriors in the Maya-Toltec city of Chichen Itza, Mexico, Atlantean statues have been discovered.
The statues were given the label "Atlantean" because of their resemblance to weight-bearing figures like Atlas, a Titan deity of endurance from Greek mythology. Atlas was in charge of keeping the world's weight constant.
The Atlantean figures in the historic Toltec city of Tula are even larger than the recently discovered sculpture at Chichen Itza. The mysterious, enormous basalt figures of Tula are over 15 feet (4.5 meters) tall, as was previously stated on the Ancient pages. They are one meter in diameter and weigh between 8 and 8.5 tons.

They also wear headdresses made of snakeskin and feathers, wear breastplates shaped like butterflies, and carry spear throwers and a supply of spears. They have a shield with the sun's seal on the back.
It is important to remember that the ancient Atlantean Tula statues depict warriors, whereas the most recent find was made in the form of a creature connected to rituals and festivities.
In addition, Diego Prieto Hernández of INAH discussed the Program for the Improvement of Archaeological Zones (Promeza) in 27 sites nearby the megaproject and how these archaeological discoveries are related to the Mayan Train rescue mission.
Archaeologists find a 2,000-year-old wooden construction along the River Wye, which they believe to be the ancient bridge that formerly connected England and Wales
Chepstow, a border town rich in history, is referred to be the entrance to Wales.
An ancient bridge – believed to have been built by the Romans 2,000 years ago – was found preserved in mud in the River Wye near Chepstow
Although it has a Norman castle from the 12th century that looks out over the River Wye, it was regarded as a strategic fortress long before those battle lines were established.
This is so that it's clear that fortifications from the prehistoric, Roman, and Anglo-Saxon periods, as well as anything new, have all been fortified in the past.
Archaeologists had just a two-hour window to dig it out and had to be assisted by specialist rescue teams because of the perilous nature of their task
It turns out that the town was previously the location of a historic bridge connecting England and Wales before the two nations existed.
The Romans are thought to have erected this wooden construction, which was discovered preserved in mud after a race against time to find it during a "extreme low tide event."
Samples were taken from the timbers, which will now undergo carbon dating to determine the bridge's exact age
The timbers were sampled, and the carbon dating process will now be used to determine the actual age of the bridge.
Due to the hazardous nature of their work, archaeologists only had a two-hour window to dig it out and need the assistance of specialized rescue squads.
Between Chepstow and the Gloucestershire settlement of Tutshill, about half a mile upstream, the historic crossing connects a path between Wales and England.
The ancient crossing links a route between Wales and England from around half a mile upstream of Chepstow to the village of Tutshill in Gloucestershire
Chepstow Archaeological Society (CAS) member Simon Maddison said: “The team were able to locate upright timbers in a tidal pool on the location of the Roman crossing. Until the results come back we won't know for sure the period of the structure. We are thrilled with what we were able to achieve and await dating results with keen anticipation.”
Members of the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA), who were brought to the scene by boat, assisted CAS experts by helping part of the crew descend from the bank using mud stretchers.
As Mr. Maddison mentioned: “The mud was very dense and very sticky, and we frequently got stuck in it. Without SARA it would have been impossibly dangerous.”
SARA Beachley posted photos of the muddy dig, saying: “Something different last Friday! A small SARA team provided safety cover and other muddy assistance to a group from the Chepstow Archaeological Society, investigating the site of the Roman bridge across the Wye just above Chepstow Castle. "With amazing results, as these photos show! This was our second such outing, and followed a visit in May which was something of a detailed reconnaissance.”
The bridge was previously discovered and partially excavated in 1911 by Dr Orville Owen. It also appeared on an old Ordnance Survey map at around the same time but has been buried in mud ever since
They added: “Both visits were arranged for the bottom of spring tides, to give the maximum exposure of the area. And this meant that both outings provided a lot of good training value for us, with boat handling in shallow and pretty fast moving water as well as operating in the mud, as well as helping with the archaeology.”
Dr. Orville Owen first discovered and partially excavated the bridge in 1911.
Simon Maddison, of the Chepstow Archaeological Society (CAS), said: 'The team were able to locate upright timbers in a tidal pool on the location of the Roman crossing'
Around the same period, it was also depicted on an outdated Ordnance Survey map, but it has since been covered in mud.
“It was recorded but we did not know exactly where it was,” Mr Maddison said. “Detective work on the drawings in Chepstow Museum enabled us to pinpoint its likely location and this proved to be correct.”
Later, a bridge known as The Old Wye Bridge was constructed not far from the 950-year-old Chepstow Castle.
This was built in 1816 out of cast iron and stone, and it has been given the designation of Grade I listed building.
'We are thrilled with what we were able to achieve and await dating results with keen anticipation,' Mr Maddison said
Known as the gateway to Wales, Chepstow is a border town steeped in history. It boasts a 12th-century Norman castle overlooking the River Wye but was seen as a strategic stronghold long before those battle lines were drawn
Roman society artifacts discovered buried in the Alps
The "archaeological sensation" is home to a wealth of items that were probably possessed by the area's elite.

In Zug, Switzerland, a group of archaeologists have unearthed Roman-era stone walls for the first time in almost a century. The Alpine state in the middle of the nation is well-known for hockey, stunning landscape, and some fascinating ancient discoveries. The discovery was referred to as a "archaeological sensation" for the area by the Office for the Preservation of Monuments and Archaeology in a translated press release, and it may provide additional information about Roman involvement in central Switzerland.
A team of archaeologists discovered the 2,000-year-old Roman walls that may have once surrounded a building complex in the city of Äbnetwald while excavating a gravel pit. Additionally, they have discovered some iron nails, plaster wall fragments, gold pieces that may have come from jewelry, millstones, glassware, crockery, bowls, and ceramic jugs known as amphorae.
Archaeologists also discovered elaborate glass dishes and imported terra sigillata tableware, which are signs that some aristocratic individuals formerly resided at the location. Amphorae jars from this period, which often contained fish sauce, wine, or olive oil, offer some proof that the Romans in the area traded with Mediterranean nations.
Small selection of Roman finds (from top left to bottom right): An amphora base, the shard of a mortar, the rim of a small bowl of Roman tableware with a red coating (terra sigillata), four coins in as-found condition, one of which was silver from Julius Caesar, Fragment of a gold object, pieces of a square bottle and a blue glass ribbed bowl.

The site of their buildings being chosen for this elevated area close to the city of Äbnetwald is not surprising, the team claims. It provided a wonderful overview of the surroundings. Before the Romans arrived, a neighboring gravel hill was occupied for several thousand years, proving it to be great real estate.
It is currently unknown what was done with the location, but the walls covered an area of at least 5,300 square feet. It might have been a villa with a view of a temple structure, according to Christa Ebnöther, a professor of archeology of the Roman provinces at the University of Bern.
“We were also amazed that the top bricks were even visible above ground. Only a few structural relics of this kind from the Roman period are known in the pre-Alpine region—in contrast to other regions. What is also astounding is the relatively good preservation of the remains,” mentioned Ebnöther.
In addition to copper and bronze coins, a silver coin (denarius) of Julius Caesar from the 1st century BCe was also found.The face of the coin shows an elephant trampling on a dragon or snake. CREDIT: ADA Zug/Res Eichenberger.
In addition, the crew discovered several bronze and copper coins. Among them was a silver denarius struck by Julius Caesar in the first century BCE that was inscribed with an elephant trampling on either a snake or a dragon.
Archaeologists had already discovered other priceless discoveries in this region, including a number of old Celt coins, the ruins of a settlement from the middle of the Bronze Age, and proof of graves from the late Bronze Age.
The general public is welcome to visit the dig on Saturday, September 2, 2023, and discover more about the Romans who formerly resided in pre-Alpine Central Switzerland.
Sniffer dogs trained to unearth ancient bones
German archaeologists are using highly trained dogs with trained noses to search out treasures at ancient excavation sites, including bones that are up to 3,000 years old.
The dogs under the guidance of their owners are let free to sniff through the site, looking for the scent of bone remains signifying potential burial sites (Picture: Christine Uyanik, Ayhan Uyanik, Anna Dittrich)
In Neufahrn bei Freising, Bavaria—about 25 kilometers north of Munich—archaeologist Birgit Anzenberg requested the assistance of the top canine team last week.
The area was occupied during the Iron Age and early Celtic period, the researcher added. In addition to a settlement from those times, the area also contains a section of an old Roman road.
The dogs were allowed to roam around the site unrestrained, guided by their owners, in search of the scent of bone fragments that would indicate possible burial locations.
‘We meet at an excavation site and then the first dog searches over this limited area as it wants to search. It can go left, right, how it thinks it has to search, where it gets its scent from. And this search gives us certain insights,’ undelined Dietmar Kroepel, founder of Archaeo Dogs.
After that, a different dog is instructed to begin looking, and the owner is not informed of the preceding dog's results.
Two years of training is needed for a dog to become an Archaeo Dog (Picture: Christine Uyanik, Ayhan Uyanik, Anna Dittrich)
According to Mr. Kroepel, a dog must undergo two years of training before becoming an Archaeo Dog.
He continued by saying that the dogs had a success rate of over 90% and could detect bones as deep as 14 meters (45 feet).
The canines are used by more people than simply archaeologists; some of the dogs are also trained to assist law enforcement with "cold cases."
Kroepel and his group frequently travel throughout Germany on the weekends. He enjoys the rush of making a historical and scholarly contribution. For the dogs, a weekend spent sniffing and running is a good weekend.
Stone Age 'viewpoint' found on Dartmoor
On Dartmoor, archaeologists are looking at a high hill and think they may have discovered a Stone Age lookout point for spotting game.
Flint tools have been unearthed at the dig on Dartmoor
Excavations on a property close to Lustleigh turned up more than 80 flints that may be 8,000 years old.
According to experts, the tools were manufactured by hunter-gatherers while they kept an eye out for deer grazing on the plains below.
The region has been examined by professionals three times.
"The site poses interesting archaeological questions about how and why people used the landscape in a period about which little is currently known on Dartmoor. It is located on a ridge between the high moors to the West and the Wrey Valley immediately to the east. The location may have provided hunter-gatherers with a good vantage point from which to observe game moving through the landscape." mentioned Dr Lee Bray from Dartmoor National Park Authority.

According to a news release from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History on August 28, it proved out to be a grave that was around 800 years old. The grave was discovered in Morelos next to the El Tlatoani Archaeological Zone entrance.
A woman's skeleton and many burial items were discovered during a five-day excavation, according to archaeologists.
Experts said evidence indicate the grave was a domestic burial. PICZAT Fund-Research and Conservation Project of the El Tlatoani Archaeological Zone, 20
Experts believe that the woman was buried with her head facing north and on her right side. Her fingers and toes were flexed, indicating that she had been packaged and wrapped.
The burial dates to sometime between 900 and 1200, according to officials. PICZAT Fund-Research and Conservation Project of the El Tlatoani Archaeological Zone, 20
Associated with the grave, a collection of ceramic fragments was also discovered, according to officials. The grave contained bowls and a figurine that resembled a human being that were dated to the Toltec Period, which lasted from 900 to 1200.
A figurine was found at the burial site, experts said. PICZAT Fund-Research and Conservation Project of the El Tlatoani Archaeological Zone, 20
Archaeologists reported that the woman was buried beneath a home's floors based on evidence found at the location.
According to specialists, they discovered other, older items beneath the tomb. There were discovered several tripod bowls with extended supports that were made between 500 and 150 B.C.
The woman’s extremities were flexed, indicating that she was wrapped before she was buried, archaeologists said. PICZAT Fund-Research and Conservation Project of the El Tlatoani Archaeological Zone, 20
These bowls and other pottery, according to archaeologists, are the earliest items discovered in the area, indicating that earlier peoples once lived there.
About 50 kilometers to the southeast of Mexico City is Morelos.
Scientists find a 3,000-year-old tomb that is "very peculiar"
An alleged elite religious leader's body was found buried face down, with his feet crossed and the lower part of his body extended.
A tomb thought to have been built in honor of a religious figure from 1200 B.C. was found by archaeologists digging in the northern highlands of Peru 3,000 years ago.
The "Priest of Pacopampa" was discovered by archaeologists in the Pacopampa site.
The grave of the elite member was ornamented with various pottery bowls and buried in six layers of ash and black dirt, according to a statement released by Peru's Ministry of Culture on Saturday (26 August 2023).
The discovery project's director, Yuji Seki, said: “Though this person is a man, the associations are very peculiar. I think this was a leader in his time.”
The workers at the site think that various ancient rituals were used in the burial of the deceased.

Two seals were found on the upper margins of the tomb, indicating that body paint was utilized in ancient rites for good people.
One seal featured a jaguar pattern facing west, and the other included an image of a human face facing east.
Seki thought it peculiar that the deceased was lying face down with one half of his body stretched and his feet crossed and that the big tomb was two meters in diameter and one meter deep.
Seki and his crew also discovered that the deceased was buried with a bone that had been fashioned into a tupu, or a sizable pin used to hold cloaks.
Tupus were typically used to keep a woman's blanket together.
This discovery is ground-breaking because archaeologists have been working on this project at Pacopampa since 2005.
The oldest discovery made at the location is not this one, though.

The crew also found the tombs of the "Lady of Pacopampa" back in 2009, then in 2015 they found the tombs of the "Priests of the Serpent Jaguar of Pacopampa."
Due to the rock layers that were mounted the tomb when it was discovered, archaeologists were able to determine that the individual had been buried in 1200 BC.
The "Priest of the Pututos," a find from the previous year, is thought to be even older.
“The burial is also associated with the Strombus snail that you don’t find in the Peruvian sea but in the Ecuadorian one," Seki said at the time. "They were brought from a faraway place, it could mean this person had a quite important religious power back then."

The Story of the Twelve Apostles | Full Movie
They started out as average, unexceptional men of their time: fishermen, farmers, local magistrates. But their dedication to a prophetic Jewish preacher in the backwaters of the Roman Empire transformed them into revolutionaries and, in the process, changed the world itself in ways that would reverberate across time for two thousand years. Now, discover the extraordinary, untold stories of the men chosen by Jesus to bring God's plan to the world. Among them are Peter, who denied Christ three times but later became a "Rock," James and John, the fiery tempered "sons of thunder," Matthew, the tax collector later murdered by cannibals, Simon the Zealot, the anti-Roman fanatic eventually "cut to pieces" preaching in Spain, and Judas Iscariot, whose betrayal would be paid for with silver and suicide. From their early fear and discouragement at the shock of the Crucifixion, to the final acceptance of the resurrection and their epic mission to spread the Gospel through the known world, it's an inspiring, astonishing story of the little-known men who became The Twelve Apostles.
