The Battle of Himera in 480 BC was a pivotal clash between the Greek colonies of Sicily and the invading Carthaginian army. Recent archaeological discoveries at the site near modern Palermo have unearthed the skeletons of the soldiers who fell in this brutal conflict. Analysis of these remains reveals the harsh realities of ancient warfare, providing a silent but powerful testimony to the ferocity of the fighting. The Greek Siceliote victory was a landmark event, securing Hellenic influence on the island for decades and checking Carthaginian expansion. These unearthed warriors are not just bones; they are a direct link to a decisive moment that shaped the ancient Mediterranean world.

In 2014, an underwater Byzantine basilica dedicated to Saint Neophytos was discovered in Lake Iznik, Türkiye 🇹🇷. Built on the spot where the saint was martyred, it likely collapsed after the earthquake of 740 CE.
Scholars believe the church, constructed in the 4th century following the First Council of Nicaea (325 CE), commemorated Neophytos, who was executed during Diocletian’s persecutions in 303 CE — a decade before Christianity’s legalization under the Edict of Milan.
Recognized by the Archaeological Institute of America as one of the top discoveries of 2014, the site is now planned to become an “Underwater Museum.”
