Archaeologists unearthed a Sphinx-like statue and the remains of a shrine in an ancient temple in southern Egypt, antiquities authorities said Monday. https://apnews.com/article/egypt-antiqui...33fb41ba3a
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
So you lived in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, & 20s, and which decade was the best?

For what? '70s is when I got into the world. Arrived at Hong Kong in January 1970. '70s and '80s I slept in 72 countries. '90s and '00s I was enrolled at Purdue for 14 years.

I guess what you could call the "Japanese version of Shroud of Turin" went under analysis (their holy artifact)
Quote:A new analysis of a mummified "mermaid" found in a Japanese temple has revealed exactly what it is made from, and it's not what scientists thought.

‘Spectacular’ new find: Roman military camps in desert found by Oxford archaeologists using Google Earth
Three new Roman fortified camps have been identified across northern Arabia by a remote sensing survey by the University of Oxford’s School of Archaeology. The camps were identified using satellite images. According to the research team, they may have been part of a previously undiscovered Roman military campaign linked to the Roman takeover of the Nabataean Kingdom in AD 106 CE, a civilisation centred on the world-famous city of Petra, located in Jordan. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2023-04-27-spe...ists-using
