  ...and a Strange Papyrus with the “Catalog of Ships” from the Iliad Discovered in Oxyrhynchus (this is so Minoan...) by Guillermo Carvajal   | April 19, 2026 Mummies found in Egypt. Credit: Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities The Spanish archaeological team linked to the University of Barcelona and the Institute of the Ancient Near East, under the direction of Doctors Maite Mascort and Esther Pons Mellado, has concluded the latest excavation campaign at the Oxyrhynchus site, in the Minya Governorate in Egypt, with the discovery of a necropolis corresponding to the Roman period whose structural and ritual characteristics provide significant data on the evolution of funerary customs in the transition between the Ptolemaic era and Roman imperial rule in Middle Egypt. The fieldwork, carried out in the eastern sector of a Ptolemaic tomb catalogued as number 67 and d...

  The Ethiopian calendar, which is still in use today, has thirteen months, begins in September, and right now it is 2018 by Jorge Álvarez   | April 21, 2026 Traditional New Year's Flowers in Ethiopia. Credit: Tewodros Kassa / Wikimedia Commons There are many people, especially those who have underage children, who follow the school calendar rather than the regular one, and for them in many European countries, the year begins with the start of the school term in the first half of September. In that sense, it is curious that they coincide with the Ge’ez , that is, the civil calendar used by Christians in Ethiopia , which starts on September 11 or 12 in the Gregorian calendar and comes from the Coptic . It also differs from ours in that it consists of twelve months of thirty days plus a thirteenth with another five or six epagomenal days. In Amharic —the official ...

 The article states this clearly in its conclusions: These findings reveal an incredibly sophisticated mastery of local geology from two millennia ago: the ability of craftsmen to recognize and selectively exploit small outcrops for specific uses, such as pozzolanic aggregates for mortars, demonstrates an impressive level of technical and territorial expertise. Paradoxically, this forces us to reevaluate our modern methods: despite our advanced technology and theoretical experience, contemporary practice has largely lost the deep, direct empirical knowledge of materials that ancient humans possessed.

  What is it? The Ancient Game Board Found in the Palace of Knossos That No One Knows How Was Played by Antonio García April 23, 2026 The Zatrikion at the Heraklion Museum. Credit: Zde / Wikimedia Commons Arthur Evans found in Knossos a unique piece of ivory, gold, and crystal. Some believe it was a royal pastime; others doubt it was ever used for playing. Archaeology has yet to solve the mystery. In the spring of 1900, the British archaeologist Arthur Evans began the first systematic excavations in the palace of Knossos , the mythical labyrinth of King Minos on the island of Crete . Just a few days after breaking ground, his workers uncovered an object unlike any other. It was broken, buried about 70 centimeters deep, in a corridor of the palace’s northeastern wing. Its fragments of ivory, rock crystal, lapis lazuli, gold, and silver still shone beneath the...

How did the Vikings navigate? The risky business of seafaring Irina Manea Apr 24, 2026 It is almost unimaginable for modern humans to conceive of making long voyages across the open sea without some form of navigation instrument. Although some artefacts from the Viking era might have served as navigation tools, there is no certainty that the wandering Norse relied on anything other than their senses to navigate. A tremendous accomplishment and a lesson of humility for us who rely so heavily on all kinds of gadgets to perform diverse tasks. The tricks and trade of pre-modern navigation The Norse, well, ancient and medieval people in general, had a deep understanding of nature, but their observations did not result in scientific data ...
