Archaeologist working underwater

Before a large development in Copenhagen, Danish law mandated an archaeological survey. It revealed a 600-year-old trading cog nearly 100 feet long.

In Copenhagen's harbor, archaeologists discovered something remarkable beneath the seabed. A massive wooden ship had rested there since approximately 1410 AD—over 600 years untouched. What they found would rewrite our understanding of medieval maritime capabilities.

Archaeologists uncover how America’s oldest civilization survived one of the earliest climate catastrophes.

Here’s the version of ancient history we’re all used to: the climate shifts, the food supply wobbles, everyone panics, and the whole thing turns into a mess. But the story coming out of Caral, one of the oldest known civilizations in the Americas, reads very differently. When a long drought hit, the people didn’t respond with large-scale conflict or a dramatic last stand. They adjusted. They moved. They kept their cultural habits alive in new places. And they even left behind clues—art, layouts, and objects—that show how seriously they took the problem and how intentionally they dealt with it.
