Archaeologists have discovered the remains of an ancient Scythian Amazon woman, buried in an impressive headdress forged from precious metal.
The same tomb contained the remains of two young Scythian women aged between 20 to 29 years old and 25 to 35 years old, and those of a teenage girl aged between 12 to 13.
The discoveries were announced in a statement released by the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

162 YEARS AGO
Battle of Chancellorsville (Virginia)
May 3, 1863

REFLECTING ON A UNIFORM — During a return visit to this battlefield last year, I was amazed to see the uniform remains that belonged to William Hightower of the 23rd Virginia Infantry on display at the Visitor Center. At 20 years of age, Hightower was severely wounded in the leg during the intense fighting there on May 3.

For an initial direction at care, doctors undertook a dangerous procedure. First, they cut off his pant leg. Then, they amputated his shattered limb at the thigh. This was a severe and hopeful attempt at saving his life. They were unsuccessful. About two weeks after the battle, Hightower died from his wounds. Unfortunately, William’s experience was similar to thousands of other young soldiers on both sides

A Mysterious Corinthian Helmet Unveiled: The Battle of Marathon’s Astonishing Artifact

The Corinthian helmet, renowned for its iconic design, evokes a sense of romance and heroism as it is intrinsically linked to the legendary warriors of Ancient Greece. Despite advancements in helmet technology that provided improved visibility, the Ancient Greeks continued to depict their revered heroes wearing these distinctive helmets in art and literature. This enduring representation has cemented the Corinthian helmet as the quintessential symbol of Greek warriors in contemporary portrayals. However, modern adaptations often modify the design for aesthetic appeal, enhancing its dramatic and recognizable form for cinematic and artistic purposes.

This 46,000-year-old 'icebird' from Siberia was so well preserved that fossil hunters at the beginning mistook it for an unfortunate creature that 'died yesterday' - only to realise they had found the first ever ice age bird.

The professor of evolutionary genetics Love Dalén from Stockholm, Sweden, was on an expedition with local fossil ivory hunters inside an ice tunnel mined in Siberia when they handed him this prehistoric creature. Love was stunned when the hunters revealed it came out of the permafrost and when he took it back to the lab to carbon date it, the results came back with the staggering age of 46,000 years. This female horned lark had lived among woolly rhinoceros, mammoths and cave lions. The creature is so well-preserved because it had frozen 'relatively quickly' without a chance to decompose.

A 700 year old home in Iran..

Kandovan is a village in the Central District of Osku County, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran.

This village exemplifies manmade cliff dwellings which are still inhabited. The troglodyte homes, excavated inside volcanic rocks and tuffs similar to dwellings in the Turkish region of Cappadocia, are locally called "Karaan". Karaans were cut into the Lahars (volcanic mudflow or debris flow) of Mount Sahand.

The cone form of the houses is the result of lahar flow consisting of porous round and angular pumice together with other volcanic particles that were positioned in a gray acidic matrix. After the eruption of Sahand, these materials were naturally moved and formed the rocks of Kandovan.

Around the village, the thickness of this formation exceeds 100 m and with time due to water erosion, the cone shaped cliffs were formed.

At the 2006 census, the village population was 601, in 168 families.

Phorusrhacids, often dubbed “terror birds,” were towering, flightless predators that once ruled the landscapes of South America during the Cenozoic era. These formidable birds roamed the Earth between 62 and 1.8 million years ago, reaching heights of up to 3 meters (nearly 10 feet). Despite their fearsome appearance, their closest living relatives today are the much smaller seriemas of South America.

Among the most notable members was Titanis walleri, a giant that ventured into what is now Texas and Florida—making it the only large South American predator known to have migrated northward during the Great American Interchange, after the rise of the Isthmus of Panama. For a time, it was speculated that Titanis might have survived long enough to encounter early humans, but further fossil analysis has ruled that out, confirming the species vanished by about 1.8 million years ago.

With their massive hooked beaks, powerful legs, and carnivorous diets, phorusrhacids were perfectly adapted for domination in their ecosystems—a chilling reminder that prehistoric terror didn’t always come with teeth or claws, but sometimes with feathers and talons

More than a century after it vanished beneath Antarctic ice, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance was found upright and astonishingly intact at over 3000 meters deep in the Weddell Sea. The wooden vessel, crushed by pack ice in 1915 during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, was discovered by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust using advanced sub-sea technology from the S.A. Agulhas II. Expedition leaders described it as the best-preserved wooden wreck ever seen, with the ship’s name still clearly visible on the stern.

The Endurance had never made landfall during Shackleton’s ambitious mission to cross Antarctica. After being trapped and broken by ice, the crew survived months on drifting floes before reaching Elephant Island. Shackleton and five others sailed 1300 kilometers in a lifeboat to South Georgia, then crossed the island’s mountains to bring rescue to the rest—all survived. The rediscovery of the ship now stands as a symbol of endurance and survival, frozen in the same place where that incredible story began
