(CNN)Archaeologist Peggy Piggott The object on July 21, 1939, when he discovered two little gold, the past became a little brighter.
On the eve of World War II, I was investigating the remains of an Anglo-Saxon burial mound at the ruins of Sutton Hoo in Suffolk County, eastern England. Within the mound, researchers have unearthed ancient treasures. All of these were incredibly complex designs that disobeyed the previous expectations of the early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
When scientists brushed the soil, debris appeared and was later reassembled to reveal weapons and masks with elaborate details.
This discovery sheds light on the artistry, sophistication and culture of the 7th century people who created these crafts and forever changed the view of their ancestors from the Middle Ages.
Now, another brave team wants to splice one item that has never been restored.
Digging this
The "ghost ship" used as the burial ship of the Anglo-Saxon warrior king in the 7th century was sent to Sutton. Who has fascinated visitors for decades since it was discovered in this ceremonial mound.
The dirt mark, where a 90-foot-long boat once sat on sandy soil, has only an orderly row of rivets and an impression.
The ship's keel has already been laid using genuine Anglo-Saxon tools and techniques, and its decorated sides should decorate the water in the spring of 2024. The ancestor was once used 1400 years ago.
Against gravity
The fourth time was the attraction of Artemis 1's Mega Moon rocket. The 322-foot (98-meter-high) stack successfully achieved its latest attempt at the final stage of testing on Monday. This is what NASA calls a wet dress rehearsal.
The rocket will be at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida next week. Roll back inside the Space Shuttle Assembly Building and engineers will fix the leak and prepare for launch.
It is expected that the next time the rocket is launched on the launch pad in August, it will eventually fly into space.
Wonderful creatures
Nature maintenance photographer Claudio Contreras Scube has been fascinated by flamingos since he was four years old and is in the lagoon behind his home on the Yucatan Peninsula. I'm watching the colonies gather. ..
To prevent birds from rushing to abandon their colonies, he developed a slow approach, such as sitting on a boat from dawn to dawn. This strategy allowed him to take intimate portraits.
Flamingoes live in extreme environments that irritate most animals. In Mexico, wetlands that function as nesting and breeding grounds are protected, but the effects of pollution and climate crises cannot be prevented from creeping up.
We are a family
When stone tools were found on the riverbed in southeast England in the 1920s, they were moved to the British Museum in London. rice field.
Currently, researchers use modern techniques to date objects and discover that they are used in one of the earliest known Stone Age communities in Northern Europe. Did. The stone tools of
At that time, Britain was part of the European continent, so hunter-gatherers had room to roam. Little evidence has been found since the prosperity of this unusual community.
Long ago
Extreme drought revealed a 3,400-year-old city in northern Iraq.
When the water level in the Mosul Reservoir dropped, Kurdish and German archaeologists began excavations in January and February and faced snow and hail because they did not know how much time they had. did.
Researchers believe that it is the Bronze Age city of Zakik, the vast hub of the Mitanni Empire, which ruled between 1550 and 1350 BC.
