☆ Lost Silk Road cities mapped using LiDAR remote sensing
  + stars: | 2024-10-23 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —Lost for centuries, two cities lay buried, nearly 5 kilometers (3 miles) apart, underneath grassy pastures in the mountains of Uzbekistan. “It’s a really different environment up there,” Frachetti said of the newly discovered Silk Road settlements. However, the newfound highland cities were too big to simply be trading posts or Silk Road stopovers, Frachetti and his colleagues believe. The research marked the first time that light detection and ranging (LiDAR) equipment had been used in the region for archaeological purposes. Using drone-borne light detection and ranging equipment, archaeologists have mapped two abandoned cities in the mountains of Uzbekistan.

CNN —Archaeologists in Israel have discovered what they believe to be the remains of an Ancient Greek courtesan. Stiebel told CNN that he and his team believe the woman would have been among the first Greeks to arrive in the region. Liat Oz, the director of the excavation on behalf of the IAA, described the mirror found in the tomb alongside the remains. Researchers say the mirror is incredibly rare, with just 63 discovered in the Hellenistic world. Stiebel told CNN that the team are continuing with further research in order to “zoom in” on the finer details of the mirror.

☆ Mysterious giant 300,000-year-old hand axes were found at an Ice Age site in England. Scientists can't work out why they are so big.
  + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( Marianne Guenot | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Two giant hand axes have been uncovered in prehistoric sediment in England. The largest of the two hand axes, which is about 12 inches long, is "one of the longest ever found in Britain," said Ingrey, who participated in the excavation. Archaeologist Letty Ingrey inspects the largest of two "giant" prehistoric hand axes. But these particular hand axes "are so big it's difficult to imagine how they could have been easily held and used," Ingrey said. Archaeologist Letty Ingrey holds up the smallest of the two "giant" prehistoric hand axes, shortly after uncovering it on site.

☆ Cleopatra wasn't a Black woman, Egypt tells Netflix in a feud over new drama-documentary
  + stars: | 2023-04-29 | by ( Bethany Dawson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Egypt has accused Netflix of misrepresenting Cleopatra by framing her as a Black woman. Dr. Mustafa Waziri of the Supreme Council of Archeology said it's a "blatant historical fallacy." The drama-documentary "Queen Cleopatra" is set to air on May 10, with Adele James cast as the queen. "Queen Cleopatra," the soon-to-be-released drama-documentary on the famed Egyptian queen, portrays her as a Black woman. Waziri said that depicting Cleopatra, a legendary beauty, as a Black woman is a "falsification of Egyptian history and a blatant historical fallacy."
