Researchers present evidence that a cosmic impact destroyed a biblical city in the Jordan Valley. In the Middle Bronze Age (about 3600 years ago or roughly 1650 BCE), the city of Tall el-Hammam was ascendant.
Located on high ground in the southern Jordan Valley, northeast of the Dead Sea, the settlement in its time had become the largest continuously occupied Bronze Age city in the southern Levant, having hosted early civilization for a few thousand years. At that time, it was 10 times larger than Jerusalem and 5 times larger than Jericho. “It’s an incredibly culturally important area,” said James Kennett, emeritus professor of earth science at the UC Santa Barbara.

Sometimes deliberately, often unintentionally, history has been hidden by these stretches of concrete. Here's a look at some amazing items found buried under parking lots, from the bones of an infamous king to a magician’s curse. Noushabad – The Hidden Underground City. Noushabed, also called Oeei or Ouyim is an ancient subterranean city, built beneath the small town of Nushabad in present-day Iran.
The earliest parts of the city were constructed sometime during the Sassanid period between AD 224 to 651 and continued to be excavated during the post-Islamic era, with evidence of occupation lasting until the Qajar dynasty. Archaeologists have discovered human remains, earthen vessels, and stone instruments from the Sassanian, Ilkhanid, and Safavid periods, suggesting almost continuous use for many centuries. Researchers have identified three distinct levels reaching a depth of 16 metres, and a complex network of interconnected tunnels and chambers covering an area of 3.7 acres. The Ancient City of Termessos.
Termessos was a fortified city, founded by Pamphylian tribes called the Solymi (also called the Solims) near the peak of the Solymos (Güllük Dağı) mountain, in the Taurus mountain range in present-day Turkey.
Archaeologists Uncover ‘Fast Food’ Counter at Pompeii. Archaeologists conducting excavations at the Thermopolium of Regio V in the Roman city of Pompeii have revealed an ancient ‘fast food’ counter.
Pompeii was a Roman city, located in the modern commune of Pompeii near Naples in the Campania region of Italy. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. At its peak, Pompeii had a population of around 20,000 inhabitants and became an important passage for goods that arrived by sea to be sent toward Rome or Southern Italy along the nearby Appian Way. Geoscientists Discover Ancestral Puebloans Survived From Ice Melt in New Mexico Lava Tubes. For more than 10,000 years, the people who lived on the arid landscape of modern-day western New Mexico were renowned for their complex societies, unique architecture and early economic and political systems.
But surviving in what Spanish explorers would later name El Malpais, or the “bad lands,” required ingenuity now being explained for the first time by an international geosciences team led by the University of South Florida. Exploring an ice-laden lava tube of the El Malpais National Monument and using precisely radiocarbon- dated charcoal found preserved deep in an ice deposit in a lava tube, USF geosciences Professor Bogdan Onac and his team discovered that Ancestral Puebloans survived devastating droughts by traveling deep into the caves to melt ancient ice as a water resource. “The melting cave ice under current climate conditions is both uncovering and threatening a fragile source of paleoenvironmental and archaeological evidence,” he added.
Göbekli Tepe. Neolithic archaeological site in Turkey First noted in a survey in 1963, the importance of the site was recognised by Schmidt, who directed excavations there from 1995 until his death in 2014.
Since then, work has continued under the auspices of Istanbul University, Şanlıurfa Museum, and the German Archaeological Institute, under the overall direction of Turkish prehistorian Necmi Karul. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018, recognising its outstanding universal value as "one of the first manifestations of human-made monumental architecture".[5] As of 2021[update], less than 5% of the site has been excavated.[6] Background Göbekli Tepe was built and occupied during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN)—the earliest division of the Neolithic period in Southwest Asia—which is dated to between 9600 and 7000 BCE.
Known PPN sites in the Urfa region. PPN villages consisted of clusters of stone or mud brick houses, and sometimes substantial monumental or 'communal' buildings. Fill Art. Researchers have examined the burial mound where the Gokstad Viking ship was found. What they found surprised them. The Gokstad ship is one of the most famous Viking ships in the world. It lay almost completely in peace inside a burial mound in Vestfold for up to a thousand years. The ship was laid to rest around the year 900 AD. In 1880, the grave was opened, and archaeologists found, among other things, several smaller boats and remains of several animal victims — in addition to the 24-meter-long, very well-preserved Viking ship. Pharaoh Ramesses VI Tomb. Londinium – Roman London.
Londinium is the name given to the Roman city, now occupied by the City of London that contains the historic centre and the primary central business district of London. Unlike many Roman settlements established on existing Oppidum, there does not appear to be any prior Iron Age settlements before the Roman conquest of AD43 within the Roman city limits.
Several fortified Iron Age hillforts and enclosures are evident in the greater London area, like those at Wimbledon and Epping Forest, possibly attributed to either the Trinovantes or Catuvellauni tribes. 'Extraordinary' Roman villa reopened to public in Herculaneum. An ancient Roman house has reopened to the public in the archaeological park of Herculaneum, the town near Naples buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. Considered the site’s most noble Roman villa, the House of the Bicentenary had been under restoration for 35 years. The three-storey, 600 sq metre domus, which contains stunning frescoes and mosaic floors, was discovered in 1938, 200 years after excavations at the site began, but closed to the public in 1983 after falling into disrepair. “This is an important result,” Dario Franceschini, the Italian culture minister, said during a ceremony to open the home on Wednesday.
“An extraordinary monument, which had fallen into a state of neglect, is again accessible to visitors.” "The Works of The Old Men" Are Unexplained Structures in the Middle Eastern Desert. There are lots of good reasons to believe this is how things went down. For one thing, rock art found in some areas with a plentitude of kites depicts gazelles being slain in exactly that fashion, and researchers think that art suggests the slaughter wasn't purely for food. Instead, they may have been planned to commemorate spiritually significant events — you know, kind of like how you blow out candles on your birthday. Only it's an entire species of gazelle. Aren't humans great? Roman Forts & Fortlets of the Antonine Wall - Interactive Map. Antone Wall Map – Hadrian’s Wall is generally thought of as the northernmost border of the Roman Empire in Britannia, but the Romans actually pushed further north into Scotland and built another wall, the Antonine Wall.
Construction of the wall began in AD 142 under the orders of Emperor Antoninus Pius, and ran across the central belt of Scotland between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde. The wall was mainly a turf fortification placed on stone foundations, 3 metres high and 5 metres wide. This Is What The Forgotten 7 Wonders Of The Ancient World Really Looked Like In Their Prime.

Mexico Is Hiding The World’s Largest Pyramid.
Mysterious Earthen Mounds Discovered in Ancient Cambodian Cities. Using airborne laser-scanning equipment, archaeologists have discovered vast fields of dome-shaped earthen mounds, arranged into gridded patterns, in 1,000-year-old Cambodian cities. The scientists are puzzled as to what these vast "dome fields" (as archaeologists sometimes call them) would have been used for around 1,000 years ago, calling them "the most enigmatic features" from this archaeological landscape. In addition to the dome fields, archaeologists also found mounds shaped into geometric patterns, such as spirals. These geometric features are located near Cambodian temple complexes, including examples found near Angkor Wat.
