ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATEArchaeologists found fluted-point stone technology in Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates similar to those found used by Native Americans 13,000 years ago.
Archaeologists directly match Stonehenge to a site 16 miles away. Discovering the origins of the gigantic sarsens solve centuries of mysteries and contradicting theories, while raising more questions.
Archaeologists discover a 14,000-year-old tooth which directly links Siberians and Native Americans. However, there had been multiple arguments and theories regarding how the first Americans crossed from Asia to North America.
These fossils are dated as far back as 12,000 years ago and were found using ground-penetrating radar (GDR), a nondestructive way of 'excavating' fossils.
The Pliosaur is a species of ancient marine reptile commonly found in the waters during the Jurassic period. They resemble a crocodile in form with massive head and strong neck muscles complete with massive teeth for hunting prey.
The Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa aims to raise awareness around the globe and increase interest on archaeological sites enthusiasts and researchers by putting up a public online database.
A group of scientists has revealed on Wednesday that Neanderthals, not humans, were the first American settlers on the continent way back more than 130 000 years ago.
Telangana Archaeology and Museums Department scientists found the largest capstone from southern India. the weight of the capstone was about 40 tons and it took four hours to lift it up with a crane.
a team of archaeologists named GUARD Archaeology found 3,000 years old spearhead gold sword from a construction site in Scotland. the spearhead sword was enveloped with leather and wooden sheath.
For years the accepted theory was that dinosaurs were cold blooded, much like modern reptiles today. However, a study then showed that they were neither cold blooded or warm blooded like animals today. However, a paleontologist revisited that study focusing on the metabolism and growth of the dinosaurs. The re-analysis then provided evidence that dinosaurs were actually warm blooded like many of today's modern animals.
She was dressed in a knee-length skirt and a short woolen blouse when she was buried in an earthen mound in southern Denmark. She was only a teenager when she died. Her small body was wrapped in a blanket and placed in an ox hide-lined coffin made of oak. Beside her, tucked within a small cloth sack, were the cremated remains of a six-year-old child. Now, over 3,000 years later, scientists are able to trace the young girl's journey across an ancient landscape.
Researchers at Yale University recently delved into the evolutionary history of snakes, and what they discovered was an ancient creature who lived over 120 million years ago in the warm forests of the Southern Hemisphere. And most interesting of all, this creature sported tiny hindlimbs, replete with ankles and toes.
For over twenty years, scientists have used modern technology, in the form of CT scans and X-rays, to virtually unwrap mummified remains. These powerful tools, which allow researchers to peer inside mummies, provide information as to cause of death, burial treatment, and individual traits of the deceased. But now, this technology is being used to explore a new breed of Egyptian mummies: animals that were preserved to accompany the dead. And perhaps the greatest surprise is what's missing from these mummified treasures.
