This photograph, captured in 1974, showcases the initial discovery of an extensive collection of Terracotta warriors in Xi’an, China. What makes this image remarkable is that it unveils the vivid original colors that were meticulously painted onto these life-sized clay warriors over 2,000 years ago by skilled artisans. Regrettably, when exposed to air and sunlight during the excavation, these ancient colors began to rapidly deteriorate and disappeared within minutes. These Terracotta warriors were strategically placed to serve as guardians of the tomb belonging to the first emperor of unified China. As of today, the tomb remains unopened. According to accounts from ancient historians, the tomb is believed to encompass an entire subterranean kingdom and palace, complete with ceilings adorned with pearls to simulate the night sky. The tomb is also said to house exceedingly rare artifacts and booby traps set with crossbows to deter any potential intruders. To safeguard the tomb’s secrecy, the laborers who constructed it were supposedly buried with the emperor. Sima Qian, a historian from the Han dynasty, mentioned that within the tomb, “mercury was used to fashion the hundred rivers, the Yellow river and the Yangtze river, and the seas in such a way that they flowed.” Modern tests have indicated extraordinarily high levels of mercury in the surrounding soil.

Ötzi the iceman had dark skin, dark eyes, and male pattern baldness, analysis reveals In a recent study published in the journal Cell Genomics, scientists have uncovered new information about the appearance and ancestry of Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,300-year-old mummified individual discovered in the Ötztal Alps in 1991. Contrary to earlier artistic depictions, which portrayed Ötzi with light skin and a full head of hair, the genetic analysis indicates that he likely had dark skin, dark eyes, and male-pattern baldness. These revelations challenge the biases and preconceptions that have influenced previous reconstructions of his appearance.

Rare Roman cavalry swords unearthed in England A metal detectorist, Glenn Manning, attending a rally in the North Cotswolds, England, discovered a pair of 1,800-year-old Roman cavalry swords still encased in the remnants of their wooden sheaths. The swords, likely of the type known as spatha, were commonly used by Roman cavalry officers during the Roman Empire from around 160 CE until the third century CE. Due to their long, straight blades, they were suitable for use on horseback.
