Hidden just beneath the surface of the water, there are lost towns and cities right across the world.

QuoteWe launched a new initiative, directed by Mohsen Kamel and Ali Witsell, to explore the older layers of the Heit el-Ghurab (“Wall of theCrow,” HeG) site. In some areas we have seen an older, different layout below what we have so far mapped, which dates to Khafre and Menkaure. We believe that the older phase settlement and infrastructure, which was razed and rebuilt, served Khufu's buiby Hermione - Ancient Egypt

QuoteAbundance peaks in microscopic materials, including meltglass, microspherules, Ni, Ir, and Pt have been found in Native American Hopewell-age cultural strata. This discovery includes micrometeorites (possibly pallasites) recovered from heavily burned strata in two Hopewell villages. This evidence suggests that a prehistoric cosmic airburst/impact event occurred in the Ohio River valley. Theby Hermione - Ancient History

A 15th Century manuscript has helped to prove a former Archbishop of York was a saint, according to English Heritage. Thurstan, who was archbishop from 1114 to 1140, was previously thought to have been passed over for sainthood, the organisation said. A service book from Pontefract Priory listed him in a calendar of saints' feast days observed at the monastery. Dr Michael Carter, frby Hermione - Humanities

The longitudinal axes of the Middle Kingdom tombs excavated in the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa were precisely oriented to the summer and winter solstices. Located on the western side of the Nile, opposite Elephantine Island, the architectural design of these tombs differed greatly from that of the Old Kingdom with elongated spaces around these axes in relation to the solar cycle.

Monica Hanna (BBC, Radio 4, World at One, 02 02 2024) doesn't think it's a good idea. Her reasons are that there's no conservation need; no condition assessment report has been made (as required by the Venice Charter ); the existing blocks would have to be re-worked, which is interfering with the authenticity of what the AE did; Menkaure was essentially an unfinished building, aby Hermione - Ancient Egypt

It's about 175 miles from Bristol to Immingham (NE England ... completely off-topic, but the town where Lady Anne Smiley took one of her lovers in "Tinker, Tailor, Solder, Spy"). However, as described in this 2017 paper - , could these mysterious hums be the result of continuous free oscillations of the Earth?by Hermione - Laboratory
Scientists have captured a mysterious hum coming from deep inside the Earth, but they are still no closer to working out what it is. It has long been known that the Earth constantly generates a low-frequency vibrational signal. The first attempt to detect this hum was made in 1959, but it wasn't until 1998 that scientists finally proved its existence. Since then, there have been hunby Hermione - Laboratory
For nearly 40 years frustrated people have complained of being kept awake at night by an 'unbearable' low-pitched humming sound. Reports of the so-called Bristol Hum have resurfaced every few years since the 1970s but no-one has been able to explain what causes it. A variety of different theories have emerged which all have common factors - although strangely, not everyone can heaby Hermione - Laboratory
