After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

4,000-Year-Old Ceremonial Temple Discovered in Peru, Reveals a Civilization Older Than Machu Picchu
Peruvian researchers claimed to have discovered the remnants of a theater and temple that dated back 4,000 years.“Now we have evidence about some of the earliest religious spaces that people were creating in this part of the world,” said Luis Muro Ynoñán, an archaeologist from Peru’s Pontifical Catholic University who led the team in this excavation and research. “We still know very little about how and under which circumstances complex belief systems emerged in the Andes,” he stated to Smithsonian Magazine. The remains were about 3,500 years older than the citadel of Machu Picchu, the Inca town that is currently Peru's most famous archaeological monument. According to the researchers, they also predated pre-Inca cultures like the Moche and Nazca.

Oldest Firearm In The US Found At Site Of First Native American Uprising

The oldest firearm ever discovered in the continental US has been found at the site of a massacre that occurred in Arizona in 1541. Brought to America by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, the bronze cannon was supposed to protect the residents of the first European settlement in the American Southwest, most of whom were slaughtered before the weapon even had a chance to be loaded.

“Not only is it the first gun ever recovered from the Coronado expedition, but consultation with experts throughout the continent and in Europe reveal that it is also the oldest firearm ever found inside the continental USA,” write the authors of a new study. Though they can’t say for certain, the researchers go on to suggest that the weapon may be the oldest gun anywhere in the Americas.

“It is also the first known surviving example of a weapon of war, an actual firearm used in the attempted early conquest of the American Southwest,” they add.

Launched in 1539, the Coronado expedition was an ill-fated quest to reach a fabled cluster of seven golden cities that were rumored to exist in the southwestern US. The first European incursion into the region, the mission was terminated in 1542 when it transpired that there were no such riches, following which Coronado was apparently incapacitated after being kicked in the head by a horse.

better article


A Tucson archaeologist has unveiled a discovery in Santa Cruz County that she thinks could rewrite the history of the Coronado Expedition.

Deni Seymour said she has unearthed hundreds of artifacts linked to the 16th century Spanish expedition, including pieces of iron and copper crossbow bolts, distinctive caret-headed nails, a medieval horseshoe and spur, a sword point and bits of chain mail armor.

The "trophy artifact" is a bronze wall gun — more than 3 feet long and weighing roughly 40 pounds — found sitting on the floor of a structure that she said could be proof of the oldest European settlement in the continental United States.

"This is a history-changing site," said Seymour, who touts herself as the Sherlock Holmes of history. "It's unquestionably Coronado."


Though professional archeologists and amateur sleuths have puzzled over it for close to 150 years, Coronado's exact route through Arizona to the elaborate Zuni pueblos of northern New Mexico remains a mystery.

The consensus among scholars is that the expedition most likely followed the Rio Sonora through northern Mexico and the San Pedro River into what is now Arizona.


Seymour believes her discovery proves once and for all that Coronado and company actually entered Arizona along the Santa Cruz River before eventually heading east.

That puts her at odds with most researchers.

A Roman brick from Cherchell, Algeria,, bears a 2000-year-old imprint of a human hand. The handprint appears to belong to a large Roman man who pressed his hand into the brick while it was drying before being fired. Upon closer inspection, the fingerprints and skin textures of the man are visible, providing a tangible connection to the distant past.

gets more interesting
in the journals it says this camp was made the two other main ones were forced to be abandoned. so its this retreat could have been off the main path to build a redoubt. its finder has two other confirmed sites far away east on a route whos topography better matches the journals description of the expeditions day by days. buts it very cool she was able to pin down the tribe who routed them there.

still cant figure out why finding large numbers of crossbow bolts means a large battle...

One day around 32,000 years ago, an arctic ground squirrel ate parts of a plant, silene stenophylla, including its seed. The squirrel was digesting it when its life ended.

Its body was recovered from permafrost and examined.
Scientists germinated this plant seed.
This silene stenophylla just bloomed.

It is 32,000 years old.

The Sabu Disk, a 5,000-year-old artifact from Egypt’s First Dynasty, was discovered in 1936 in the tomb of Prince Sabu at Saqqara. Made from schist, a fragile and brittle stone, the disk is 61 cm wide and has a central hole surrounded by three curved, spoked lobes.

Theories about its purpose range widely. Some believe it was ceremonial or symbolic, while others think it might have served a practical function, possibly related to moving water or being part of a mechanical system. Its resemblance to a modern impeller has led to various interpretations, sparking ongoing debate among researchers and historians about its true function.
