Imagine being the one to discover this! 📖 In a Imagine being the one to discover this! 📖 In a remarkable find, researchers at Cambridge University Library have discovered fragments of a rare 13th-century manuscript containing medieval tales of Merlin and King Arthur. Hidden for centuries within the binding of a 16th-century ledger, these parchment fragments offer a fresh glimpse into the Arthurian legend, shedding light on its medieval French origins. Digitised through a groundbreaking three-year project, the manuscript is now accessible to scholars and the public, marking a significant moment in literary and historical research.

NEWS- For over four centuries, the fate of the Los NEWS- For over four centuries, the fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke has remained one of America’s most enduring historical enigmas. In 1587, over 100 English settlers, led by Governor John White, established a colony on Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina. When White returned in 1590 after a three-year delay due to the Anglo-Spanish War, the colony was deserted, with only the word “CROATOAN” carved into a wooden post as a clue. Now, groundbreaking archaeological discoveries on Hatteras Island have provided compelling evidence that the colonists did not vanish but integrated with the local Croatoan tribe, solving a mystery that has puzzled historians and archaeologists for generations… (continue at www.archaeology.co.uk link in io) #roanoke #croatoan #lostcolony #archaeologynews #archaeologylife #americanhistory #usaarchaeology #tudor #americanarchaeology #archaelogy #archaeologia #archaeologists #archaeology_news #archaeological #archaeological_site #archaeological_excavations
UPCOMING EVENT Cliffe Castle Museum 21 June – UPCOMING EVENT Cliffe Castle Museum 21 June – 14 September 2025 Ice Age Art Now exhibition showcases 24,000-year-old art. From sculptures to cave art the exhibition presents work by people living in Europe at the end of the last Ice Age. This family-friendly exhibition features a wealth of rare items from the British Museum, and local treasures from the collections of Bradford District Museums & Galleries, arranged into such themes as decorating the body, drawing animals and abstracting the female form. The exhibition also features an installation reimagining cave art and other imagery from thousands of years ago for the 21st century. #iceage #iceageart #exhibition #newattraction #visituk #visitengland #bradford #paleolithic #stoneage #caveart #iceageartnow #cliffecastlemuseum
In Siberia’s permafrost, mammoth tusk collectors In Siberia’s permafrost, mammoth tusk collectors uncovered two remarkably preserved cave lion cubs, Boris and Sparta, in 2017 and 2018. These cubs, aged one to two months when they died roughly 28,000 and 43,000 years ago, offer a rare glimpse into the Ice Age. With fur, whiskers, and even traces of mother’s milk preserved, they rank among the best-preserved Ice Age animals ever discovered. The collectors spotted the cubs along the Semyuelyakh River in Russia’s Yakutia region, buried 10 to 12 meters deep and 15 metres apart from each other (despite living 15000 years apart). The female, Sparta stands out for her near-perfect condition, with intact claws and fur, while Boris provides valuable data despite slight damage. These cubs, part of the extinct Panthera spelaea species, roamed the Eurasian steppes alongside early humans, hunting large herbivores. The permafrost’s rapid freezing preserved their delicate features, creating a vivid snapshot of life thousands of years ago.

Groundbreaking Discovery of 150,000-Year-Old Human Groundbreaking Discovery of 150,000-Year-Old Human Presence in West African Rainforest. A remarkable archaeological find in West Africa has unveiled evidence that early humans inhabited tropical rainforests as far back as 150,000 years ago, challenging long-held assumptions about the environments our ancestors occupied. The discovery, centered at the Bété I site in southern Côte d’Ivoire, marks the earliest known association between humans and wet tropical forests, pushing back the timeline of rainforest habitation in Africa by over 130,000 years.

Archaeologists have uncovered the earliest known e Archaeologists have uncovered the earliest known evidence of domesticated cats in the United States within the wreck of the Emanuel Point II, a Spanish ship that sank in 1559 off Florida’s Pensacola Bay. The findings, published in American Antiquity, shed light on the presence of cats during early European colonization. Researchers from the University of West Florida and the University of Arizona analyzed skeletal remains from the shipwreck, identifying bones from an adult and a juvenile cat. Genetic analysis confirmed these were European domestic cats (Felis catus), likely brought from Spain. Isotopic studies revealed a diet consistent with shipboard life, including human provisions like salted meat, indicating the cats were fed by sailors as well as being used for vermin control. #underwaterarcheology #shipwreckarchaeology #floridaarchaeology #bioarchaeology💀 #archaeology_news #archaeologist #archaeological #archaeologylife #archaeologylovers #archaeologynews
