Mystery Pharaoh: Newly Discovered Tomb Rewrites Ancient Egyptian History

By -
Image
A newly uncovered ancient Egyptian tomb is unlocking secrets from a forgotten chapter of history — shedding light on a little-known dynasty that ruled over 3,600 years ago. Discovered in January in the sacred city of Abydos, Egypt, the enormous limestone burial chamber features multiple rooms and a beautifully decorated entrance. But the identity of the tomb’s royal occupant remains an unsolved mystery. Graverobbers had defaced hieroglyphic inscriptions at the entryway, rendering the name illegible, according to a March 27 press release from the Penn Museum at the University of Pennsylvania. No skeletal remains were found inside the tomb to offer clues, but archaeologists believe it may belong to a king who ruled Upper Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period (circa 1640–1540 BC). This timeframe was marked by political turmoil and fragmentation, and the Abydos Dynasty — to which the tomb likely belongs — remains one of the most enigmatic and least understood ruling houses of ancie...

Max Verstappen Fends Off Flying McLarens To Win Thrilling Japanese Grand Prix

By -

Max Verstappen delivered a masterclass in composure and speed on Sunday, holding off the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri to win the Japanese Grand Prix in stunning style. The Dutch driver’s flawless weekend began with a breathtaking pole position during Saturday’s chaotic qualifying session, narrowly edging out Norris by just 0.012 seconds. That performance set the stage for what Red Bull team principal Christian Horner called “one of the best weekends he’s had in Formula One.” “The hard work was really done yesterday, but today again in the race, he was inch-perfect,” Horner told Sky Sports. “McLaren were quick, but we were just that little bit quicker to keep them behind.” While Verstappen took the win, the race also saw history made by Mercedes’ rising star Andrea Kimi Antonelli. At just 18 years and 224 days old, he became the youngest driver ever to record the fastest lap in a Formula One race — and the youngest to lead a race, even if only briefly. Despite dampe...

Pope Francis Makes Surprise Comeback After Near-Fatal Illness

By -
Image
Pope Francis made a surprise public appearance on Sunday—the first time the leader of the Catholic Church has been seen in public since being discharged from the hospital two weeks ago. The 88-year-old pontiff greeted crowds at the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square and appeared to be in good spirits. Seated in a wheelchair and wearing a nasal cannula to aid his breathing, Francis smiled and waved to worshippers who cheered wildly upon seeing him. This unexpected appearance came after a Mass dedicated to the sick and was not previously announced by the Vatican. Earlier in the morning, the pope had gone to confession at St. Peter’s Basilica before emerging to greet the faithful. Francis had been hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital from February 14 to March 23 with a severe respiratory illness that developed into pneumonia in both lungs. Doctors later confirmed he had been diagnosed with a polymicrobial infection. His medical team revealed that during his 38-day stay, the pope faced two...

“I Won’t Back Down”: Marine Le Pen Defiant After Conviction And Election Ban

By -
Image
France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen is refusing to throw in the towel after being found guilty of embezzling millions in European Union funds and banned from running for office. Despite the ruling, she vowed to continue the fight, calling it a politically charged attack meant to silence her ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Le Pen addressed a crowd of supporters gathered Sunday in Place Vauban, near the historic Les Invalides in Paris. Waving French tricolor flags and chanting slogans like “Defend freedom! Save democracy! Support Marine!”, a few thousand people showed up in response to a rallying cry from her National Rally (RN) party. “This is not a judicial decision—it’s a political one,” Le Pen declared from the stage, drawing applause from her base. She claims the justice system is being weaponized against her as she gears up for what was expected to be her fourth bid for the presidency. At the same time, counter-protests organized by left-wing parties Les Écologistes...

Rewritten and Polished Article: In an unprecedented wave of resistance, scores of Americans joined global demonstrators on Saturday in coordinated protests against President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk. Organized by a pro-democracy coalition, the movement—branded “Hands Off!”—rallied against what organizers describe as a “hostile takeover” of American rights and freedoms. More than 1,400 protests were staged across all 50 U.S. states and in cities around the world, including London and Paris. Demonstrations were held at state capitols, federal buildings, Social Security offices, parks, and city halls—“anywhere we can make sure they hear us,” said organizers. The “Hands Off!” movement is calling for an end to what it labels a billionaire-fueled power grab. “Whether you’re outraged by attacks on democracy, mass job cuts, privacy invasions, or dismantled public services—this moment is for you,” read flyers promoting the event. “We are building a massive, visible, national re...

Royal Relief: King and Queen Boost Myanmar Earthquake Appeal

By -

  The King and Queen have made a generous donation to the UK’s Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal, which is urgently raising funds to support those affected by the devastating earthquake in Myanmar. On the first day alone, the appeal amassed £7.5 million, with the UK Government pledging to match public donations pound for pound up to £5 million through its UK Aid Match scheme. The DEC—a coalition of 15 UK aid agencies including the British Red Cross, Oxfam, and Save the Children—has been working tirelessly to provide life-saving aid, as thousands in Myanmar remain injured, displaced, or trapped in the ruins of collapsed buildings. With more than 3,100 reported deaths and over 4,500 injured, the scale of the disaster has compounded an already dire humanitarian crisis intensified by the ongoing civil war. Saleh Saeed, chief executive of the DEC, praised the public’s remarkable generosity. “The stories we are hearing from survivors are harrowing. Children have lost their fam...

Misdeportation Reversal: Court Orders Return of Salvadoran Migrant

By -

  A US federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration must bring back a Salvadoran migrant who was mistakenly deported to a notorious prison in his home country. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, had been living legally in Maryland with a work permit and was married to a US citizen before he was deported on March 15 as part of a group of mostly-undocumented migrants. In court filings, US Justice Department lawyers acknowledged that an "administrative error" led to his deportation. District Judge Paula Xinis declared that Abrego Garcia was detained and removed "without legal basis" or due process, stating that his continued detention in El Salvador constitutes "irreparable harm." The judge ordered his return to the US by April 7, questioning the administration's claim that it lacked the legal authority to reverse the deportation. Abrego Garcia's legal team insisted, "They put him there, they can bring him back," a sentiment echoed by the...
