**Breaking News** France The ancient Roman city of Ucetia has finally been found in southern France, just north of the city of Nimes. Ucetia is mentioned on a single stela but no one had ever found the city. So far many buildings have been uncovered along with some stunning mosaics. Unfortunately, however, the site will … Read More

Canada I don’t need to reiterate my point that the history of the Americas is utterly flawed, utterly wrong, and a big fat lie is being taught to our children. Or do I? And the Vikings arrived there a thousand years ago. Aren’t they Europeans? So the Spanish axe arrived before the Spanish, but not … Read More

Greece I visited Corinth back in 2015. I never imagined the city was so large, considering all that’s really left is the main centre – the agora and its surroundings, and the huge Temple of Apollo – plus the theatre. The hilltop citadel is still there as well. There’s a few videos of Corinth that … Read More

Egypt A 4,000-year-old tomb, dating the 12th Dynasty, has been uncovered at Aswan. The tomb will provide more detail about the lives of those who were born into high status families, as very little is known about them during that epoch. https://www.rt.com/viral/382281-4000yo-tomb-discovery-egypt/

Mexico It is well known that diseases nearly wiped out the native American populations of central and south America after the arrival of the Spanish, but what those diseases actually were has been the subject of much debate. Smallpox has been considered the most likely culprit, but now new evidence from two studies shows that … Read More

United States Ancient Pueblo people using advanced geometric mathematics, or modern scientists drawing shapes and making patterns that don’t exist? Looking at the map of the site I would say the latter option. I do not doubt they had a system of measurement similar to a foot, but I do not believe for one second … Read More

India / Pakistan Staying with the Indus Valley culture, once again their undeciphered script makes interesting reading. Granted, that was my worst pun to date, but never mind… One thing you must never do in a piece of writing is mention a film, either by quote or comparison. That’s the only flaw in this very … Read More

Pakistan / India Mohenjo Daro is not only the most important archaeology site in modern-day Pakistan, but also one of the most important in the world. It is part of what I believe to be the oldest civilisation in the world – the Indus Valley culture – which covered an area over one million square … Read More

Cyprus FINALLY! After three-and-a-half months I have now completed my longest travelogue. I could have completed it in two weeks of full time work, but naturally I have other things to be doing in life. I have not had this much stress over a piece of writing since finalising the last draft of The Evolution … Read More

Scotland A dig on a construction site in Carnoustie, Angus, has produced a bronze age hoard of weapons, among other items, that dates to between 1000 BC to 800 BC. A bronze sword and a gold spearhead are the two most valuable items, and I am not referring to their monetary value. Organic materials, namely … Read More

Mexico As many of my theories on our past are slowly proven correct, I should be the world’s leading theoretical archaeologist by now! And here’s another one. For years I have been extremely irritated by the generally accepted theory that the two great Maya “collapses” were caused by drought. I find this one of the … Read More

Italy First of all let me vent my annoyance at the media’s (whoever they are) incessant comparison with sites like Stonehenge every time there’s a discovery. It’s sensationalist bull crap, designed for page clicks only. As a “professional” I find this kind of thing extremely irritating. An incredible discovery in Sicily; a rock with a … Read More

Egypt An incredible 360-degree view of the Sphinx, its enclosure, the old kingdom temple, the new kingdom temple, and the three pyramids in the background. Suffice to say I was mesmerised by this imagery, and spent around half an hour closely scrutinising the Sphinx and the so-called old kingdom temple. Of course there is a … Read More

**Breaking News** United Arab Emirates A 7,500-year old house has been found on Marawah Island, off the northern coast of UAE. It is one of the most astonishing archaeological discoveries of the millennium because it widens the map of very ancient sites. Very few sites have been uncovered at this date range – most notably … Read More

Egypt An absolutely incredible reconstruction of Queen Nefertiti (1370 – 1330 BC +/-). Taken from the famous bust of Queen Nefertiti, which is housed in the Neues Berlin Museum and thought to be a true likeness, this image has digitally reconstructed the statue, giving her life-like features. The work is so good it almost looks … Read More

United States It’s not me who is going nuts… or is it? You decide. According to new research regarding the Pueblo culture – and in this case the most famous location, Chaco Canyon – the people must have imported most of their food crops, which would mainly have consisted of corn. Apparently. Chaco Canyon is … Read More

Tibet In my book, The Evolution, Tibet was one of the first places settled after the fall of “Atlantis”, at least ten thousand years ago. In this new report, scientists believe that the high Tibetan plateau was first populated between 13,000 and 7,400 years ago, much earlier than the previously accepted date of 5,200 year … Read More

Canada As you know one of my areas of expertise is the peopling of the Americas. And as you also know by now I do not believe the prevailing migration theories that have been put forward, and that I strongly believe humans were in the Americas long before the 13,000-or-so years that has been attributed … Read More

China The scabbard might have deteriorated over the last two thousand years and more, but the sword inside amazed archaeologists when it was found to be in near-perfect condition. The sword was found in a tomb in the Xinyang province, but it is not yet known who it belonged to since China, at that time, … Read More

Greece The amazing Macedonian Kasta tomb at Amphipolis, first excavated in 2014, is brought back to life in this fascinating 3D reconstruction. Although the tumulus is so far the largest found in ancient Greece, and much larger than the tumulus attributed to Philip II of Macedon, it is not thought to be the tomb of … Read More
