Scientists from Egypt have used three-dimensional CT (computed tomography) scanning to ‘digitally unwrap’ the royal mummy of Amenhotep I. Amenhotep I (whose name means ‘Amun is satisfied’) was the second Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, who ruled Egypt for around 21 years until his death in 1504 BC. Under his rule, Amenhotep ordered a religious building spree and led successful military expeditions to Libya and northern Sudan. Hieroglyphics have described how during the later 21st dynasty, priests restored and reburied royal mummies (including Amenhotep I) to repair the damage done by grave robbers. “This fact that Amenhotep I’s mummy had…

Baboon sightings in the Kruger National Park in South Africa are always entertaining but visitors watching one particular baboon troop experienced far more than expected when they realized that one of the baboons was clutching a tiny lion cub – no older than four weeks old. The male baboon carried the small cub around, climbing into a nearby tree and grooming and caressing the little cub as he might have done with a young member of his troop. According to witnesses, the baboons were initially extremely excited about the presence of the cub. They foᴜɡһt over it for an extended…

Much tampering of evidence over the decades from the “authorities” has put a damper on historical finds but eventually the truth is going to come out. By all appearances to date, the more preposterous the claim, the more probable that it’s legitimate. Reality is fake, and myths and legends are historical fact, we’re learning. Fortunately, we’re getting a little smarter and keeping new discoveries out of the hands of those who would bury them. Humanity has a right to know about and view these examples of the hidden life on this planet—life that originated in the stars—or a laboratory using…
Egypt’s sunken cities of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus, known in modern times as the lost kingdom of Cleopatra, was not something anyone expected to find beneath the sea off Alexandria, until French archaeologist Franck Goddio, who has dedicated his entire life to searching for remnants of lost civilizations from the past, saw a colossal face emerge from the watery shadows 6.5 km off Alexandria’s coastline and made in 2000 one of the greatest archaeological finds of recent times. Among the underwater ruins were 64 ships, 700 anchors, a treasure trove of gold coins, statues standing at 16 feet, and most notably…

The saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis), also called spindlehorn, Asian unicorn, or infrequently, Vu Quang bovid, is one of the world’s rarest large mammals, a forest-dwelling bovine native to the Annamite Range in Vietnam and Laos. It was described in 1993 following a discovery of remains in Vũ Quang National Park by a joint survey of the Vietnamese Ministry of Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature.[2][3][4] Saolas have since been kept in captivity multiple times, although only for short periods as they died within a matter of weeks to months.[5] The species was first reported in 1992 by Do Tuoc, a forest ecologist, and his associates.[5] The first photograph of a living saola was taken in captivity in 1993.
