Archaeologists have made a stunning discovery at a biblical city where the Apostle Paul famously performed a miraculous healing of a man born lame. Teams working in the ancient city of Lystra have uncovered a 100-foot-long basilica adorned with gold-gilded mosaics and richly decorated walls, hallmarks of late antique craftsmanship. The basilica provides tangible evidence that Lystra was a thriving urban center during the earliest centuries of Christianity.

The commemorative medallions were found inside a terracotta pot and were hidden in the foundations of the Palazzetto Venezia during its construction as an auspicious practice. The Palazzetto Venezia was commissioned by Paul II in 1467 and stood next to its big brother the Palazzo Venezia. He lived in it for the rest of his papacy, even though it was only completed some years after his death by his nephew.

The discovery of two carved heads from the Chachapoya culture in their original archaeological context offers significant insights into pre-Hispanic artistic traditions and architectural practices.

The Inca Empire had the largest empire in the New World at the time, covering half of a continent, relying entirely on knotted cords for keeping records.

The vertebra presents clear incisions at key anatomical points for disarticulating the head. It is direct evidence that the child was processed like any other prey.

The settlement is by far the largest Celtic settlement found in Bohemia, rich with artifacts and unique features as a trade and manufacturing center.

The scale consists of a scale, still articulated, and five weights in the shape of Greek letters, dating to Late Antiquity (4th-7th centuries A.D.) and estimated to be around 1,600 years old.

Two thousand years ago, in a bid to conquer death itself, China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang commissioned a city of the dead: a 49 sq km mausoleum guarded by an army of clay warriors.
