New research into the 2,000-year-old Copper Scroll mystery reveals one of history's largest missing fortunes is still waiting to be found.

The Copper Scroll is one of the most unusual artifacts ever discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Unlike the others, which were written on parchment or papyrus and focused on religious texts, this scroll was engraved onto thin sheets of copper.

My travel buddy disappeared for two days and left me with the hotel bill. Can I recover the money?

It sounds like the setup for a bad vacation story. You split a hotel room with a friend, partner, or travel buddy, then they disappear for two days and leave you staring at the bill. The good news is that this is usually a money dispute, not a legal mystery, and there are practical steps you can take.

My sister used my airline miles for her trip and says I should not be mad because they were just points. Do points count as money?

Your sister says they were “just points,” but airlines, banks, and tax agencies treat points as something with real-world value. That matters because a stash of miles can unlock flights, upgrades, hotel stays, and other benefits you would otherwise have to pay cash for. So while points are not exactly the same as dollars in your checking account, they absolutely can function like a form of spending power.

You booked the resort, pictured a peaceful adults-only pool, and then spent the week dodging cannonballs and shrieking kids. It is the kind of vacation letdown that feels personal because the promise was so specific. The big question is whether that kind of mismatch is just annoying or whether it can cross the line into false advertising.
